Here is your reminder that veiling does NOT have to be with traditional veils!

It's okay to veil with a hat.

It's okay to veil with a bandana.

It's okay to veil with a scarf.

It's okay to veil with jewelry.

It's okay to veil with oils.

It's okay to veil with perfume.

It's okay to veil with a simple cleansing.

Heck, it's okay to veil with hair binding!!

It's okay to veil with ANYTHING, and to prove it, here is my veil for today. It's a new hairstyle I'm trying out! (Also, a face reveal?? omg!)

Love yall! Take care of yourselves 🫶🌻

veiled for the first time today and holy shit that was such a good experience??? yeah i’m about to become insufferable

[bunnyshideawayy]

for pagans/witches who veil or cover their hair for their practice full time, do yall consider modest clothes essential to your veiling or do you still wear what you want? i’ve seen this debate among the community and am interested in seeing what everyone has to say!

for reference i do veil for my practice, just not everyday and i tend to still wear what i want but with limitations!

Please tell me I'm not the only weirdo who would like my scarf to ideally always be right over my eyebrows lol

Veiling Hellenic polytheists interact! I think I’m going to start veiling for Hera/Hestia.

Feels so good to be back under the black veils

this kid I was at my job orientation with was asking me about my scarf because I said I was raised Mormon and he was like, so did you switch religions? are you Muslim now?

and like. it's a question I get asked cause I veil ik I'm gonna get asked it and it doesn't bother me, but I am always concerned that people are gonna get weirded out when I explain that I'm a Hellenic polytheist, but he actually thought it was super cool which was awesome.

win for the day.

There’s something really comforting about veiling. Being able to have that extra layer of separation between myself and the outside world helps me keep my sensory issues at bay. Being able to have everyone see that I’m religious is such a powerful thing. Having a physical reminder of my devotion to my gods provides me with the strength to power through even the hardest days, because I always have them with me.

Whether it’s a simple bandana tied on before I leave the house, a full coverage scarf, or tegidion; I always feel more comforted and confident when i’m covered.
