Ｓｏｆｔ Ｂｕｔｔｅｒｙ Ｒｏｌｌｓ
Ｌａｔｅ Ｗｉｎｔｅｒ Ｂｕｔｔｅｒ Ｒｏｌｌｓ
These cute little rolls are perfect for any witchy event your heart may desire! I highly suggest you try these out.
(Also! I’m a fairly new tumblr account so your support and feedback is greatly appreciated :P)
- A perfect additive to any winter celebrations such as Yule, Imbolc, and Beltane.
- Eat them on a cold day, with butter and a warm meal for a cosy feel.
- The Recipe -
Ｉｎｇｒｅｄｉｅｎｔｓ：
For the Tangzhong:
- 2 tablespoons (20g) bread flour
- 2 tablespoons (27g) water
- 4 tablespoons (60g) whole milk
Heat this over medium heat until it become very thick, about the consistency of very thick brownie batter. It should be congealed enough so that it doesn’t slide off the spatula very easy. This should take no longer than 5 minutes. Let it cool down completely (If you add it in hot, you will risk killing the yeast and the bread will not rise.
(What is Tangzhong?) A. Its a mixture of flour, milk, water that really steps up your game when it comes to the fluffiness of the rolls. Once you try adding this to your basic breads, you wont go back!
For the Bread:
(400g) 3 2/3 cups Bread flour
Your Tangzhong mixture
(48g) 5 tbsp sugar (Depends on how sweet you want your rolls, you can totally add 4-7 tbsp)
(3g) 2 tsp of salt
(200ml) ½ cup almond milk (You can use any milk, this is what I have in my fridge)
Instant Dry Yeast 7g (A full packet)
2 large eggs
Unsalted butter (60g) 4 tbsp (About half a stick)
For the Egg Wash:
1 large egg
1 tbsp water
Ｄｉｒｅｃｔｉｏｎｓ:
1. Bloom yeast in warm milk (Put in the microwave for about 20 seconds, it should be lukewarm, not hot. Add Flour, salt, and sugar into a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment.
2. Crack egg and milk into the yeast and with the stand mixer’s dough hook attachment, mix into the flour mixture. Add butter 1 tablespoon at a time and mix until dough is elastic. Then mix another 5 minutes. If the dough looks too dry, add a tablespoon of water, and repeat until smooth. If it is too liquidy, add a couple pinches of flour.
3. Put the bread dough in a lightly greased medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for 2 hours.
4. Flour work space and cut the dough into equal pieces. About the length of a small palm (I have baby hands). Roll them into balls. Cover them at let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
5. Flatten them with you palm and fold into a rectangle. Roll them up into snake shaped dough and them flatten them again, then roll them up like a croissant. Or you can simply take the balls you made earlier, and put them in a baking dish just like that.
6. Cover for 2 more hours for them to proof. Then combine egg and water to form your egg wash and brush it onto the rolls briefly before putting it in the oven. Put in the oven at 410 F (210 C) for 10-20 minutes. I personally bake them for 15 minutes so they are this perfect golden brown color.
And your done! These buns are really worth the hassle and you have even serve them with homemade butter.
Much love, 𝒜𝓃𝑔𝑒𝓁𝒾𝒸𝒶.

Need more witches to follow!
Thinking of picking up the craft again so I need some more active blogs to follow!
Please reblog if you post about the following things (ideally with a little blurb about what you post!):
Pop culture magic
Urban magic
Eclectic witchcraft
Divination (specifically tarot and/or dice)
Thrifty witchcraft tips (dollar store, thrift store, etc.)
Witchy arts and crafts/DIY
Spoonie witchcraft
Grimoire/BoS/journal ideas/organization
Correspondences
Witchcraft supplies (incense, candles, crystals, tarot decks, etc.)
Or if you think I’d be interested in your blog based off of these specific things!
I am a queer, bi-racial woman with mental health issues so radfems, terfs, misogynists, homophobes, transphobes, racists, fascists, ableists and anyone else who discriminates do not interact with this post.

Reasons you should put your grimoire/bos in a binder:
1) Its more customizable. You can buy all different colors of cardstock for the pages and decorate them. Or, you can print out papers and add them in. Cut and glue pictures onto the pages, if you like. The pages can also be laminated.
2)You can re-arrange papers at will! Forgot something? Just add it in. Don't like how something turned out? Take it out and redo it.
3)^That makes it easier to organize. You can add one of those tab things for a quick way to flip to a certain section.
4)There's cool witchy binders online, you can also get creative and decorate the exterior.
5)They're cheap.
6)If you run out of space, move all of it into a bigger binder and use the old one for something else.
7)Pockets!!!

Normal Horoscope:
Aries: If you don’t overshare then how are you gonna know what to bring up in therapy?
Taurus: One must exist about and amongst the plants and such.
Gemini: Now is not the time to give up! There are still snakes to whisper to and frogs to place atop your head.
Cancer: Knowing when you can break the rules and get away with it is called style.
Leo: The tall man in the suit who passes by your work occasionally is not human, he is an empty shell, being puppeted by something far older.
Virgo: The old stories are explosive. They paint a picture in herculean efforts. The world vastly more full of small, humble, constant effort.
Libra: It is only in soft contemplation and slowly nodding along to the wisdom in common words that you will finally become a cowboy.
Scorpio: Carry a spear with you at all times and be evasive and mysterious when someone asks you about it. It will make you sexier.
Ophiuchus: Demand more food by scraping your teeth against the table, making an extremely loud and annoying noise.
Sagittarius: You are bound by the string of inexorable fate to the breakfast burrito before you now.
Capricorn: All Capricorns have to eat a leaf today. Stars said so.
Aquarius: I regret to inform you that during the ordinary course of your day, you will be mugged by several raccoons in waistcoats.
Pisces: Yours is a hunger that can only be satisfied by knights.

BETTER SHIT TO PUT IN YOUR GRIMOIRES THAN THE BASIC SHIT EVERYONE SAYS:
Maps! Maps! MAPS! If you're a death witch, get one for the cemeteries you visit and mark gravestones/areas you've practiced in! Garden witches! Map out your gardens! Green witches! Map where you find specific herbs in your area! Lunar witches! Mark the best spots to go look at the sky! Make a key! Take notes!
Recipes for COMPONENTS! Write down how to make the mixtures you use in spells often- A special salt mixed with herbs and put under the moon, a mixture of oils for protection, the herb mixes sachets you keep making to add to sachets, whatever!
For green witches- press samples of stuff and glue them in! Go to an arboretum and ask for permission to take leaves to press, they'll usually let you take some- add them in with your notes about trees
Cool ways to make spells! I make spells in envelopes and on empty spools, what are some ways you do?
The local plants in your area and what they do. You're not going to be likely to find chrysanthemums to forage in Missouri, but you will find creeping charlie and prairie plants. What can you do with a thistle?
When you celebrate a sabbat, write down what you did and include samples! Ribbons from your Beltane altar, a pressed sample of your lemmas harvest, a scrap of your Yule decorations. Maybe do a spell and tape the remnants into your grimoire in a plastic baggie
Learn how to make an envelope out of paper just by folding it, how to string seeds, how to dry plants, how to macrame rocks and hang them from your window. Find those little witchy skills and write them down.
How to incorporate your hobby into your magic. Sigiling origami paper, weaving knot magick into your crochet, making blessed bookmarks, etc
Substitutes! Rosemary, rose and clear quartz are good for most things, but there are more substitutes to be used that are more powerful. Roanoke bells are good substitutes for bluebells, apparently.
Correspondences of odd things. Turns out different kinds of cats have different correspondences, huh.
Superstitions and such from where you're from.
For kitchen witches: easy to alter recipes. An egg noodle recipe that takes herbs really well, a simple bread recipe that can be dressed up for spells or rituals, how to make a good pie crust that you can sprinkle nutmeg in or whatever you desire.
Or: What foods go good with what herbs. You'll make a better apple pie (and get the benefits of apples, nutmeg, and cinnamon together!) If you know how your herbs taste together with your cooking. (Most kitchen witches know this stuff, but for a green witch who likes to make teas or a sea witch that likes to make soup, etc, this is important)

me very aggressively complimenting the signs
Aries- You have so much passion for the things and the people you care about that it is SICKENING. You’re so goddamn DETERMINED to meet your goals it is absolutely fucking admirable. You were BORN to be a leader whether you’re leading others or taking control of yourself. You’re not afraid to do what needs to be done because you have the fucking strength. You bring people TOGETHER. You have BIG SHORT PEOPLE ANGER ENERGY and it will get you FAR. You WILL accomplish the things in life by continuing to be your CONFIDENT and BADASS SELF. FUCK
Taurus- You are the definition of a RELIABLE HUMAN BEING. You are the rock that so many people need in their lives. You’re so fucking devoted to any task thrown your way. You make life problems YOUR BITCH. You do this by enduring all the garbage that gets thrown at you and wading it out sometimes based on pure goddamn stubbornness and you come out the other side with a BIG BAG OF ACCOMPLISHMENT and a MIDDLE FINGER IN THE AIR. Even when you want to give up you DON’T because you’re a responsible PIECE OF SHIT with GLITTER ON TOP and I love that.
Gemini- FUCK GEMINI HATERS. Some may call you two-faced, real ones know you are ADAPTABLE. You are fucking CHAMELEONS. You were the person in high school who had friends in ALL different friend groups. You are truly a gentle person with a curious heart, do you fucking hear me. You have the ability to reach so many people with your WIT and CHARM. You’re not afraid to take off your mask in front of people which makes you that much more RELATABLE. PEOPLE AREN’T ONE-DIMENSIONAL SO YOU SHOULDN’T GET FLAK FOR IT. Direct me to the Gemini haters, let me roundhouse kick them real quick.
Cancer- You have the BIGGEST HEART and your ability to make others feel comforted in their time of need is EXQUISITE. Those closest to you know you will defend them to your LAST BREATH because you are loyal as fuck. The way you can find even the smallest things to be important or sentimental is VERY TOUCHING. You’re like a $100 8 oz piece of medium rare filet mignon covered in a sugary honey garlic sauce, SWEET and TENDER, SHIT. You can empathize with just about everyone, even those who have wronged you because you really are just that fucking PURE.
Leo- I would very much LIKE TO BE AROUND YOU. Not only do you know how to light up a room but you can FUCKING keep my ATTENTION. You absolutely know how to dominate a conversation, teach me how, you are a goddamn NATURAL. The CHARISMA, it OOZES, sometimes when you don’t even realize. You are the person others go to when they need a good cheering up. You know how to make a person laugh under any circumstance, you fucking wizard. If you were in a movie you’d be the hot one and also the comic relief and also the main character who everyone loves, holy SHIT
Virgo- You very much should receive the RESPECT that you fucking DESERVE. You put in the WORK, bitch, you know how to fucking GET SHIT DONE, bitch. People may misunderstand you for being cold, but in reality you just know how to put your own feelings to the side in order to do the task at hand, and do it with PERFECTION, because you are so fucking detail-oriented, you never miss a single fucking BEAT. You would be the person to find a cure to the zombie apocalypse in less than a fucking week. You can get things right even on your first try because you’re EXTREMELY FUCKING CAPABLE.
Libra- You aren’t afraid to put your faith in others and THAT is what makes you so fucking LIKEABLE. You are humble while still remaining STRONG and true to WHO YOU ARE. People fucking love you because you know how to view a situation from all sides because you have an OPEN MIND and an OPEN HEART. It is truly disgusting how amazing and rare that is, you fucking gem. YOU GODDAMN PERSONIFICATION OF GRACE. How are you able to fight for the things you believe in all while remaining sympathetic to all, it’s beautiful. YOU ARE FUCKING LOVED, UNDERSTAND THIS.
Scorpio- You are the person who your friends would go to when they need to get rid of a body because you’re that fucking TRUE and FAITHFUL to the people you LOVE. Not only would you get rid of the body, you’d also know how to do it with 100% certainty you’d never get caught because you’re so damn resourceful. Is this morbid as shit? MAYBE, but you don’t care because you’re the FUCKING COOL ONE. You are a FIERCE BITCH who people close to you LOVE and your enemies should FEAR. Never underestimate yourself because you have the PASSION and the CUNNING to get through all fuckery.
Sagittarius- If I had to sit on a 30-hour long flight with someone, it’d be you because you would be SO FUCKING FUN TO TALK TO. You truly do not give a SHIT what other people think about you and it allows you to speak your mind freely, it’s so fucking amazing. Your love to travel and learn new things makes you INTERESTING as FUCK and you know how to put anyone in a good fucking mood. You make people feel INCLUDED. Your thirst for adventure is CONTAGIOUS, I would like to explore the inside of the earth with you, fucker. You are a prime example of WALKING the FUCKING WALK.
Capricorn- You know how to get the most out of literally ANYTHING, if you were given enough popsicle sticks and glue you could probably build a second fucking Golden Gate Bridge. You KNOW what you want and you know how to fucking get it. Your mind is SHARP AS FUCK. You have so much discipline and self-control you could probably become Lord Commander of the ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD and you’d be fucking GOOD AT IT. You are a goddamn force to be reckoned with in both your personal and professional life because you take yours AND others’ mistakes and learn from them, it’s fucking BRILLIANT.
Aquarius- The world is your fucking OYSTER, BITCH and you are ready to mold it into what it needs to be. You are CREATIVE, you are INNOVATIVE, you are a fucking VISIONARY. People love you because they know you give a shit about them because you SHOW them. You don’t fucking tolerate those who hurt others and people ADMIRE YOU FOR IT. You aren’t afraid to be your own fucking person and that spans from how you think to how you act to how you look. IT’S ABSOLUTELY FUCKING ALLURING. You help others feel comfortable in their own skin when they’re around you without you even REALIZING.
Pisces- You are a GODDAMN PIECE OF ART. You are the type of person who would fucking die to save a stranger. You are deeply connected with your emotions and because of this you are able to create ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE FUCKING THINGS, not to mention it allows you to really connect with others. People from all different walks of life get drawn to you because you’re SO FRIENDLY. WE ALL WANNA BE YOUR GODDAMN FRIEND. You see the beauty in the mundane. Describing a personality like yours would turn into fucking POETRY. YOU ARE A SOFT PIANO SONG.

Mabon Information!
Mabon is the second harvest festival in the Wheel of the Year, and it is celebrated on the Autumnal Equinox. Like you might expect from a harvest festival, it’s a time to gather with loved ones and be grateful for the good things that came your way this year. Also, since the equinox is when day and night are in equal duration, for some it’s a time to reflect on that balance.
“Mabon is a time to reflect on the previous year, when we can celebrate our successes (likened to bringing in the harvest) and assess which crops, projects, or dreams didn’t come to fruition.”
•Who can celebrate Mabon?
Celebrating solstices, equinoxes, and cross-quarter days goes back centuries, although the concept of the Wheel of the Year is fairly new. That being said, we really have no right to say who can and can’t celebrate them, as long as they do so in a respectful and well-researched manner.
•How do I celebrate Mabon?
You can celebrate however feels right, but more common ways would be to decorate your altar (or your whole house!) with harvest-themed colors and objects, go apple picking/make applesauce, make a thanksgiving-esque meal with lots of fall foods, or simply take a few moments to reflect on your successes and failures this year.
•Symbolism of Mabon:
Second Harvest, the Mysteries, Equality and Balance.
•Symbols of Mabon:
wine, gourds, pine cones, acorns, grains, corn, apples, pomegranates, vines such as ivy, dried seeds, and horns of plenty.
•Herbs of Maybon:
Acorn, benzoin, ferns, grains, honeysuckle, marigold, milkweed, myrrh, passionflower, rose, sage, solomon’s seal, tobacco, thistle, and vegetables.
•Foods of Mabon:
Breads, nuts, apples, pomegranates, and vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions.
•Incense of Mabon:
Autumn Blend-benzoin, myrrh, and sage.
•Colors of Mabon:
Red, orange, russet, maroon, brown, and gold.
•Stones of Mabon:
Sapphire, lapis lazuli, and yellow agates.
•Activities of Mabon:
Making wine, gathering dried herbs, plants, seeds and seed pods, walking in the woods, scattering offerings in harvested fields, offering libations to trees, adorning burial sites with leaves, acorns, and pine cones to honor those who have passed over.
•Spellworkings of Mabon:
Protection, prosperity, security, and self-confidence. Also those of harmony and balance.
•Deities of Mabon:
Goddesses-Modron, Morgan, Epona, Persephone, Pamona and the Muses. Gods-Mabon, Thoth, Thor, Hermes, and The Green Man.
•Things to do on Mabon:

💐Picnic witchcraft guide💐
Sandwich correspondences
Fruit correspondences
Vegetable correspondences
Tea correspondences (sun tea, tea in general, floral tea)
Flower correspondences- can be used as decoration, for flower crowns, as a fun nature activity (collecting them respectfully, of course), and edible flowers can be used for deserts, drinks, and salads!
Desserts- here’s some witchy dessert recipes, perfect for any picnic!
(Tiny strawberry pies, cranberry pistachio shortbreads, cardamom pear cake, ginger and fig tart, apricot coconut bites, and lavender tea bread)
Locations- fun witchy locations for picnics include:
🌹a botanical garden, floral garden, or any sort of garden (perfect for fae, floral, air, green, life, spring, and summer witchcraft)
☀️a sunny open field/area (probably has wild flowers!, great for air, sun, floral, and weather witchcraft)
🌙⭐a night picnic under the stars and moon! (Perfect for lunar, nocturnal, and cosmic witchcraft)
🌳a park (great for all witchcraft, very versatile)
🌊💧a beach, pond, lake or near any body of water (perfect for water, sea, and love witchcraft)
👻a cemetery (perfect for death, spirit, medium, and floral witchcraft. Just make sure it’s allowed and you’re respectful of graves)
🌲A forest (perfect for forest, tree, nature, green, earth, and hedge witchcraft, here’s some tree correspondences)
Other witchy picnic ideas:
Stones/crystals to bring- it depends a lot on location and the general theme of the picnic! But a few favorites of mine are:
rose quartz, opalite, any aura quartz, sunstone, agate, tigers eye, and selenite (especially peach selenite)
Scents- I like to focus on scents a lot during picnics. It can make the experience so much more enjoyable! Location once again plays a huge role, but you can always spray your picnic blanket with essential oils, use strongly scented herbs or flowers, use a specific perfume, or even a specific tea that smells good. Some scents I like to focus on during picnics are:
lemon, orange, grapefruit, lemongrass, strawberry, orange blossom, gardenia, rose and lavender
Bring some little spells or offerings with you! A picnic in nature is the perfect time to do a little crafting, especially love, self care, fae, peace and happiness spells. And you can correspond your picnic with the intent of the spell!
It’s also a great time for devotional offerings and any other offerings, especially fae offerings.
Put together a picnic spell- an entire picnic can be a spell! Everything from location, to drinks, to food, and the extra stuff you bring along can be in it.
🍑Have fun picnic witching! 💐

I can't find your bread recipe :( with the tag bread queen there are only three posts and none of them is your wonderful recipe where it how can I find it? Ly
Oh! I had to switch accounts at some point last year, that’d probably do it. Hold on I got you! The reblog it’s posted on is here, and since it’s about time I copied it into its own post anyway… With a few minor edits:
—
Two adulting (kitchen-related) tips from me!
1. Buy a roll of parchment paper from the cooking shit aisle. A big roll will last you for-fucking-ever. Pretty much any time you’re using a baking pan you can line it with that stuff and save yourself A: food sticking to the pan and B: it’s a quick rinse and it’s clean.
2. Bread can get fucking expensive, so make your own. A bigass bag of flour and a bag of active dry yeast (store it in the friiiiidge!!!) works out a FUCK of a lot cheaper than buying bread at the store, and you can do so much more with it. Bread, pizza, rolls, cinnibuns, homemade pizza pockets. It seems intimidating but it’s stupid easy.
Seriously. It’s stupid simple to make, and most of the “3 hours” to make it is sitting around surfing the internet or doing whatever the fuck you want while the dough rises. If you have an afternoon free once a week to sit and play video games or surf the net, you have the time to make your own bread on the cheap.
Here’s my simple-as-fuck recipe:
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (You can buy a bag of this stuff CHEAP in bulk stores, the little single-serve packets are hella stupid priced)
1 cup warm water (think a hot bath)
1 ½ teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons oil (any kind works for the most part)
2 ¼ cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1. Stir the yeast, water, sugar, and oil up in a bowl. Let it sit for about 10 minutes. It will foam up VERY high, this is the yeast getting happy! If it doesn’t get all foamy, the water may have been too hot or not hot enough. Remember, Yeast is alive! Treat it like a nice girlfriend!
2. Mix your flour, salt, and the yeast concoction up in a bowl.
3. Knead that shit for about 5 minutes. It will start sticky as heck, but will come together into a nice dough. If it’s still super sticky, toss in a bit more flour. The dough should feel silky to touch if you’ve done it long enough. Here’s how to knead it:
4. Put your dough in a covered, lightly oiled bowl and leave it someplace warmish for an hour. At that point it will have roughly doubled in size, give it a gentle punch to release the gasses that have built up inside. Cover it again and let it sit for a bit longer.
Boom. You have bread dough. Here are some baking times and uses for ya:
Optional egg-wash: Just crack an egg into a bowl, add a pinch of salt or some water if you’re game, and mix the bejeebus out of it with a fork. Brush (or if you’re like me, goop it on with said fork) that shit thinly on bread before baking for a nice crust.
Pizza: Stretch it on a pan, stab the fucker all over with a fork, add toppings, bake 425*F 15-20 minutes. Roughly the same process for pizza pockets, just with more filling and pinching it shut before baking.
Bread Sticks: Make snake-shapes, let rest on pan 10-ish minutes, bake 400*F 10-20 minutes.
Dinner rolls/Pullaparts: Make ball-sized (yes those balls) balls. Place on greased pan, let rest 10-20 minutes to rise. Egg-wash and bake 375*F 25 minutes.
Bread: Lightly score (cut) the top, let sit for 20-ish minutes on/in whatever you’re using to bake it, egg-wash, bake at 375*F for 20-ish minutes. It’s done when it sounds hollow if you knock on the bottom. If it sounds solid, it’s still doughy.
You bet your ass you can deep-fry this shit for cheapie yeast doughnuts. Roll that shit in sugar or dip it in whatever, it’s fucking tasty.
Bagels: YES. YOU. CAN. Form bagel-shapes out of the dough and boil them in salty water for about 2 minutes. Egg-wash them and bake them at 400*F for 10 minutes.
Cinnamon Rolls: Roll that shit out into a rectangle. Brush it with a mix of butter, cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt (no exact amounts here, do it to your taste). Roll it up into a log, and cut it into discs. Let them sit 20 minutes in a pan and then bake at 375*F 15-17 minutes. I can personally vouch for these coming out amazing! If you bake them long enough, the filling will caramelize on the bottom of the pan into pseudo-crunchy-sweet-buttery candy, and if you’re using parchment paper it’ll pop right off for indulgent consumption.
You can add whatever you want to the dough for some variety, just if it’s dried spices remember you really only need 1-ish tablespoons. I personally like making bread with about 1 tablespoon of dill in the dough. Roll it out flat, sprinkle it with cheddar, roll it into a log, squeeze the ends shut, and bake it like a regular loaf of bread. Cheesy dill bread OMNOMNOM.
That got a bit long. But yeah. Bread’s expensive, yo. Save your wallet.
(Also it’s ridiculous amounts of therapeutic to bake, for me anyway.)

I want to learn more about witchcraft but 1) I don’t know where to start and 2) I’m scared my mom will get scared/disown me if she sees me practicing.
Hey love💙 I know how intimidating it can be starting witchcraft- there’s so much to learn and you never know where to start. So here’s some quick closet witch (meaning no one knows you’re a witch yet) and baby witch ( meaning new witch) tips for you:)
Baby witch tips
🦋cleanse everything!! It’s so important to cleanse your space, your crystals, your tarot cards, or anything else you use in your craft. This helps to get rid of all the negative energy and keeps things like crystals doing what they’re supposed to! It depends how much you use them, but usually I cleanse my tarot cards about twice a week and everything else once a week
🦋you don’t have to buy really expensive supplies. Those specialty witch shops are way over priced! If you need a bag for your tarot cards, dice bags are great and a lot cheaper. Places like etsy are great for finding affordable crystals. You don’t have to own loads and loads of tarot decks. You can use things you can find in your kitchen for spells instead of more expensive ingredients. You don’t need heaps of witchy books to be a great witch.
🦋don’t trust everything you see on tumblr. Tumblr is a great place to find information and talk to other witches, but there is also a lot of misinformation out there! Make sure to check a few places to make sure the information you are using is correct.
🦋If you don’t know what to start researching first here are some really important things to know: the history of witchcraft, cleansing, grounding, warding, casting a circle, protecting yourself during a spell, correspondents (crystals, herbs, etc.), how to look after your crystals, what herbs and incense and stuff is safe to use and when (eg. If you can ingest it, if it’s safe to use around pregnant women, safe for pets, etc.), how to make sigils, types of witches. These are just a few things I could think of, but they’re a great place to start!
🦋It’s not essential, but its handy to enchant something you always wear, like a piece of jewelry, to protect you throughout the day :)
🦋start a grimoire/ book of shadows. It’s handy to have any research you’ve done or spells you want to try on hand Incase you need them. And if you’re not a fan of writing, google docs is great for online grimoires
🦋If you want to work with deities, please DO NOT try to contact them or work with them striaght away. Make sure you have done a ton of research and are pretty comfortable with your craft before doing this. I don’t personally work with deities so I don’t know too much, but if you need more advice there are plenty of lovely witches on here that I’m sure wouldn’t mind giving you some tips!
Closet witch tips
🦋make your altar in a shoebox. If you don’t want your parents to find it or get suspicious, this is a great solution! You can easily hide it on a shelf or under your bed
🦋if people ask why you buy so many crystals, just say you think they look pretty. I told my parents this for years and they didn’t think twice about it.
🦋a lot of people collect candles! They smell great! It really doesn’t seem that weird and even if it makes people suspicious, they’re pretty cheap in a lot of shops and easy to hide
🦋if you don’t want people to see your sigils, just trace them on things with your fingers or in the air with incense. It works just as well as drawing them
🦋If you want to cast a spell but you’re afraid someone will walk in, wait until everyone’s gone to bed to do them. I know this one seems kind of obvious, but I actually didn’t think of it for ages lol
🦋If you cant get a tarot deck because your parents won’t let you you could : ask a friend to get it for you and pay them back, make you own(!!), use playing cards, or use an app. There are plenty of apps you can download that are essentially just a virtual tarot deck and they work just as well!
_________________
These are just a few tips I have, but if you have any other questions I’d love to help, and I just started a groupchat on here called The Witches Room (message me if you’d like to join) where you could ask for some tips and advice! I know it sucks when you have to hide your craft all the time, but I hope these tips helped a little. Sending lots of love and good vibes your way🦋🌿
