IT IS OK TO NOT HAVE DEITIES IN YOUR CRAFT

☽ Closet Witch Tips ☾

Hi, everyone! I spent years living as a closet witch and wishing I had more freedom to practice. Nowadays my living situation is different which allows me to do things I couldn’t before, but I know that there are many witches out there who are still struggling with this so I decided to share some tips on how to practice in the broom closet

Keep in mind these are all suggestions, you don’t need to have an altar, a book of shadows, practice divination, etc if you don’t want to

Altars

(Disclaimer: you don’t need an altar to practice, but in case you still desire to have one)

Inside a jewelry box

Shoe box

Tin can

Matchbox

In a video game such as animal crossing, the sims, minecraft, etc

The #SelfCare app has a little altar in which you can decorate with crystals, herbs and tarot cards

Notebook (then add the items by drawing them or maybe making collages)

Make/buy a little terrarium (artificial or real)

I’ve heard of people using plant vases as altars as well

Divination

(In case you can’t buy tarot decks/runes/etc)

Make your own tarot cards/oracle cards (it can be a little tiring but it’s what I did when I couldn’t buy my own)

Pendulums (doesn’t have to be an actual crystal pendulum as you see on witchy stores, anything on a string will do)

Make runes out of seashells, rocks, clay, etc

Flip a coin for yes and no questions

Give dice divination a try

Deity Worship/Work

Wear jewelry that reminds you of them (ex: sun necklace for apollo, moon ring for artemis, etc)

Wear their associated colors

Practice devotional acts such as reading about them, praying, drawing something for them, writing them a letter, something related to your deity’s domains

Keep a notebook in which you can write their myths/domains/associations/etc or write prayers/poems, make drawings of things they like, etc

Keep a small altar

Watch movies that remind you of them

Play video games associated with their domains

Study something they have domain over

Make them a playlist

Make them a pinterest board

Make a devotional blog

Light a candle in their honor (it’s ok if you can only use LED candles)

Keep something associated with them on your desk/shelf

Keep a crystal associated with them near you

Make a little deity jar and keep it near you

Have a devotional plant for them

Spend time in nature in their honor

Take care of yourself

Book of Shadows

Notebook

Notes app

Google docs or google keep

Tumblr blog (either private or public, up to you)

Somewhere on your phone/computer

Simple Practices

Enchant your jewelry with intention

Use color correspondence in your clothes/makeup

Meditating

Open your windows to cleanse your room

Keep crystals around you

Physically clean your space

Take showers/baths with the intention of cleansing yourself

Try practicing some kitchen magic if you cook

Enchant your food/drink

Make sigils

Keep plants in your space associated with your intention (ex: protection, creativity, etc)

Keep in mind that you’re not any less of a witch for not being able to do certain things, your practice is still valid

hey hi hello can you reblog this if you’re a trans-inclusive witchcraft or paganism blog i am fighting for my LIFE out here

Not to be that person but instead of buying that sacred herb closed to a culture and practice you don’t belong to just because some non-Indigenous re-seller advertised it to you as “spiritual magical plant that removes 99,99% of all bad spirits” you could, I don’t know, clean your windows or vacuum. Sometimes cleansing is just cleaning, you know.

i will never forgive the witch community for implanting the idea of trickster spirits into other people's heads. even when no one's talking about it as much nowadays (thankfully due to plentiful debunking) the sheer amount of damage it's done to practitioner's sense of safety even now is too much. religion and/or deity work is supposed to be a beautiful thing, and all this has done is made people afraid to explore that beauty. i'm not saying tricksters aren't real, but they're not going to hunt you for sport for wanting to say hello to a deity.

[casualwitch]

By all means and measures, pastries, pies, ravioli and burritos are basically the kitchen witchcraft version of spell bags...

[casualwitch]

Hey, I don't see people talking about their grimoires/bos/witch book on my dashboard much anymore. Y'all still doing that? Do you keep a book? Document? Do you decorate it? How often do you add stuff to it?

[casualwitch]

There sure are a lot of places on the human body for an ant to hide.

my original post about this lost traction but long story short my dog macy has chronic ear infections due to some unknown allergy. we talked to a vet today that actually cared about her and wanting her to get better. we talked about how to treat the allergy itself versus just treating the ear infections and she gave us some options but we’ve gone through this process so many times that my father is reluctant to pay anymore to help her and it’s making me feel fucking horrible. i don’t want my dog to live in pain anymore. she’s seven years old and has been dealing with this issue since 2018-2019 if i remember correctly. i know that money is tight for everyone right now but this isn’t fair to her. it’s not her fault that she’s been dealing with this for so long.

here’s some silly pics of her to lighten the mood!!

i do divination readings of all kinds and i’m more than willing to do multiple readings for a cheaper price. i also do custom spell work and spiritual oils if that’s more what you’re interested in! just message me if you’re interested in anything and please share this if you can. i appreciate it so much.

👏 if you won’t change the terms you use when marginalized people tell you it’s appropriation, you’re not fighting for anyone’s freedom, you’re just an arrogant colonizer 👏

This goes for Kabbalah, tulpamancy, egg cleanses, Lilith worship, Vodou, and every other closed practice that’s not yours.

Italian folk magic - Increase wealth spell

Italian folk magic encompasses a variety of traditional practices and beliefs, including spells aimed at increasing wealth and abundance. I am sharing these generational family spells in hopes to spread knowledge & help to educate beginner folk magic witches / practitioners.

Here's a simple Italian folk magic spell that focuses on attracting financial prosperity:

Materials needed:

- A small green candle

- Olive oil

- A pinch of basil

- A piece of paper

- A pen or pencil

- A small dish or bowl

Instructions:

1. Begin by preparing your workspace. Find a quiet area where you can perform the spell without distractions.

2. Take the green candle and anoint it with olive oil. As you do so, visualize money and abundance flowing towards you. Feel the sense of financial security and freedom.

3. Sprinkle a pinch of basil onto the anointed candle, symbolizing growth and prosperity.

4. Place the candle in a holder and light it, focusing your attention on the flame. Imagine it radiating energy and attracting wealth into your life.

5. Take the piece of paper and write down your financial goals and aspirations. Be specific and clear about what you want to achieve. Visualize yourself already enjoying the abundance and prosperity you desire.

6. Fold the paper and place it in the dish or bowl in front of the candle.

7. As the candle burns, say the following incantation or create your own words:

"By the candle's vibrant glow,

I call upon abundance to flow.

Wealth and riches come to me,

As I will, so mote it be."

8. Sit quietly for a few moments, focusing on your intention and the energy you've raised. Feel gratitude for the financial blessings that are on their way to you.

9. Allow the candle to burn completely or extinguish it if you need to leave the area. If you decide to extinguish it, relight the candle when you return until it burns out completely.

10. Keep the folded paper in a safe place, such as a wallet or a drawer, to reinforce your intention and remind yourself of your financial goals.

Remember, while spells can be a meaningful way to focus your intention and energy, they should be seen as tools for empowerment and manifestation. It's important to also take practical actions and make responsible financial decisions to support your goal of increasing wealth.
