Tips for the Inconspicuous Witch

  • the-tree-witch

    ● Get some houseplants! Plants allow you to bring some nature into your house, and choosing plants with magical correspondences means that you can use the plants in spells as well.

    ● You can also grow herbs in your garden or on your windowsill for use in spells - if anyone asks, the obvious answer is that you’re using them in cooking.

    ● If you’re into divination, try using normal playing cards instead of tarot cards - make a note of which card represents which tarot card.

    ● Necklaces can make great pendulums!

    ● You could also make paper runes - they perhaps lack the appeal of stone/glass runes, but witchcraft doesn’t need to be attractive for it to work! Simply draw some runes onto small pieces of paper or card. When you’re done with them, they’re easy to quickly dispose of by recycling them or burning them.

    ● To add a bit more of a ‘witchy aesthetic’ to your room, decorate with natural objects like plants, cool stones, feathers, shells, etc. You’ll still get a witchy atmosphere without it being obvious to others.

    ● Pretty lights like salt lamps and fairy lights also give a magical vibe to a room.

    ● If you worship deities, check out places like museum gift shops for small statues of gods from Ancient Greek/ Roman/ Egyptian etc. mythology. Just because you have an interest in history doesn’t mean you’re a witch! 

    ● Everyday objects like coins can be used for simple charms - for example, hide coins around the house for prosperity.

    ● If you’re worried that using incense will be too obviously witchy, buy a reed diffuser, under the pretence of making your room smell nice (which is an added bonus anyway). You can choose scents with specific intents, and lots of diffusers have a cool little bottle that you can use afterwards for storing herbs and the like.

    ● Draw sigils on your skin using eyeliner in places that will be covered by your clothes, such as on your legs and arms. Alternatively, draw them using lotion/ moisturiser.

    ● Use bath salts/ soaps/ shampoos that have scents with magical correspondences.

    ● Enchant wind-chimes and windows with positivity so that whenever the wind blows and the sun shines, the room will be filled with positive energy :)

    ● Keep a digital Book of Shadows/ spell book that can be password protected, such as in diary app or a Word document! If you would prefer a traditional paper journal, use the dust cover of another book to keep it hidden.  

    ● Use birthday cake candles or tea lights in spells - you can buy them in a variety of colours for different correspondences. These are useful as they burn quickly and don’t look particularly witchy.

    It goes without saying that all witches’ situations are different, and, because of that, these tips may not be suitable for some people - please remember to keep yourself safe and happy!

    If you like tattoos, exposed skin is available too; you can say you wanted to practice freehand styles, and markers come off relatively easy. Just a fair warning, so easy they stain, at best smudging the sigil, at worst staining cloth.

    If you want to use a pentagram or pentacle, or even runes or sigils, but want to hide it, rocks are your friends. The flat underside of a rock can be drawn on, and then laid flat so nobody sees it. Of course, if they pick it up, you can say you’ve been practicing but don’t want to waste paper.

    If you can’t find colored tea light candles (I only find white ones), shaving some crayon wax into the candle before lighting, or letting the candle melt over it, works.

    Speaking of which, there’s a trick where people melt candles on or in glass bottles. Easy way to hide a jar spell.
