subtle rituals for closet witches
hello fellow witches and welcome to the closet. i know there are others out there like me that are closeted about their craft and dont really tell many people about how they practice. so, i put together a small list of subtle things i do to practice while people are watching.
- while showering (mainly rinsing my hair out) i close my eyes and bring myself into a meditative state and imagine dark energies being rinsed out of my hair, symbolizing my doubts and anxiety for the day ahead of me rinsing away. or, if you shower at night, symbolizing rinsing away the stresses of the day you just had.
- i always always always stir my coffee clockwise, usually while silently hoping i have a good day and i have good luck that day. i also like to imagine my coffee filling me up from toes to head with clean energy, which usually stops me from having a second cup.
- i have a few sigils for beauty and young skin, I usually draw these on my face with concealer before putting on my foundation bc my foundation doesn’t have a wand, its just the bottle. this helps me feel confident i look nice all day
- i walk barefoot literally anytime im walking on grass, dirt, or sand. this makes me feel so much more connected to the earth and gives me so much more energy. i just tell my friends and others that i got sand/dirt in my shoes and it got uncomfortable
- a lot of sigils look like doodles, so when i have a notebook id like to keep away from prying eyes, i draw a privacy sigil into the front cover. when people ask, i tell them i got bored and drew it on a whim. the oblivious card always works too if they notice the same symbol on multiple books
- tarot card apps. my two favorites rn are Golden Thread Tarot and Luminous Spirit Tarot. Golden Thread has many different spreads and daily card selection, where Luminous follows the phases of the moon and has different spreads per phase. ill probably do a witchy apps post later on
i might add to this list later, but if anyone else has any subtle witchy things they do, please feel free to add them!! blessed be 🖤
