✨ I. Know yourself: practice mindfulness and meditation, start journaling daily, analyze your dreams, define your core values, take a few minutes every day to pause and observe the world around you, make lists of everything that defines you (your favorite movies, your political beliefs, your favorite books, your best and worst memories, etc).
🕯️ II. Know your craft: understand the different types of witches, and which one you feel closest to, define your position on religion vs. spirituality, learn about witchcraft, wicca and paganism, meet with witches online or in your city, attend workshops and seminars on spirituality, tarot, and herbalism, acquire knowledge in the history of your craft.
📚 III. Learn: never stop learning, read books from different point of view, understand the intersectionality of witches’ experience, learn about witches from other cultures, understand the link between feminism and witchcraft, record everything you are learning in a journal, and learn from different sources (books, podcasts, online forums, social media, articles, academic papers, documentaries etc).
🦉 IV. Apply knowledge with wisdom: use everything you are learning to make informed decisions about your life, find mentors and experienced witches to learn from, wisdom is acquired through experience so practice your craft, and accept that you will make mistakes, write them down in your journal to remember them and learn from them.
⚖️ V. Achieve balance: embrace opposites, take care of yourself and work hard on your dreams, list your priorities for the coming months and focus on them, maintain a schedule and give yourself peaceful moments during the day, have diverse hobbies that fit into your craft (writing, gardening, crafting, cooking, baking, exercising), balance your time surrounded by people and your time spent alone.
💭 VI. Keep your thoughts in good order: journal your daily life, use tarot and divination as tools to understand yourself, practice setting intentions, use mantras as guidance in your meditation, identify your negative thoughts and practice spells and rituals of banishment for this negative energy, learn breathing exercises to keep your mind connected with the body.
💬 VII. Keep your words in good order: take yourself seriously, be mindful about what you say to yourself and to others, understand the power and bond of a promise, use words as verbalization of your intentions, practice honesty and avoid lying, speak out loud when spell casting.
🎉 VIII. Celebrate life: practice gratefulness by writing daily lists of everything you are grateful for in your life, enjoy daily rituals and the magic of everyday life, plan and organise witches’ sabbats with loved ones, or by yourself, celebrate every accomplishment and every victory.
🌙 IX. Attune with the cycles: learn about the seasonal changes and the witches’ sabbats to acquire a stronger connection to the sun and the earth, celebrate pagan festivals and the Wheel of the Year, practice your magic in connection to the lunar cycle, understand the power of each moon phase, and accept that your energy levels are not always the same, which means that you cannot hold the same expectations on yourself all the time.
🥦 X. Breath and eat correctly: learn yoga, meditation and breathing exercises, practice stretching your body and breathing to expand your muscles, do not diet or restrict but learn to eat healthy while indulging on guilty pleasures sometimes, abstain from regular usage of drugs or alcohol, practice healthy habits.
🤸 XI. Exercise the body: learn to love your body no matter what, and practice self-love by moving it in a way that feels right to you, have walks and hikes in nature, build your strength, learn flexibility exercises, practice cardio to breath better, not to lose weight, switch training exercises regularly, and focus on moving your body everyday.
🧘 XII. Meditate: thrive to meditate at least 10 minutes daily, use mantras to set specific intentions or practice breathing techniques, do not hesitate to use YouTube videos or apps to learn it, meditation is a skill just like anything else, practice for 30 minutes or 1 hour straight at least once a month, join meditation classes or zen temples to get help from a community.
🙏 XIII. Honor your deities: educate yourself on deities you’d like to follow, based on symbolism and what they represent, understand their connection to you and practice rituals to honor them, be mindful of what you ask of them, learn to draw a circle to protect yourself from harmful spirits while calling on them, and if you do not feel comfortable with personified Goddesses and Gods, honor nature deities such as the Moon, the Sun, and the Earth.

Sickeningly sweet comfort addition!
Anime: Jujutsu Kaisen I’m working on a part two with Demon slayer and/or my hero academia
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭- Inumaki laying his head on your stomach after he found you crying in front of a mirror. He traces little swirly patterns on your chest and tummy while rapidly kissing your stretchmarks. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭- You sitting in Itadoris lap while he reads you his favorite manga, and he makes so many dramatic hand movements. You’re in one of his t-shirts and he’s wearing the shirt you bought him for his birthday (he wears that shirt everyday)
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭- Gojo coming back from a long mission, only to see you curled up in his bed while holding on to one of his T-shirts, he slithers in behind you and spoons you for the entire night
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭- Nanami buying you gifts and jewelry everytime he sees something he thinks you’d like or that reminds him of you. He’ll give them to you as soon as he sees you again (which kinda makes you sad cause you don’t have time to buy something for him) 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭- Megumi using/wearing everything you give him, even if it’s just a picture of the two of you he’ll keep it in his wallet and look at it when he’s feeling hopeless, seeing your face makes him believe that there’s hope for the world
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭- Nobara and you are doing each others nails while a K-drama plays in the background, while she tells you how much Itadori annoys her.
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭- You painting Sukunas tattoos on your face, and when you walk up to him he just thinks it’s adorable. You’re like a little puppy copying it’s owner.
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭- Junpei watching a low-budget horror movie with you while you make fun of how bad the effects are. And after the movie is done, you’ll both go to your house and he’ll spend the night
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭- Mahito dying.
That made me feel all warm and soft (^ー^)

Just some witchy things I’ve done that are very discreet and my family doesn’t think much of it.
• Get jars from dollar stores or thrift stores and say they’re good for organizing stuff
• Go on nature walks to gather materials and bring your dog if you have one! (Don’t eat anything you can’t identified or reasearched, also some parks might spray the plants with pesticides)
• Do rituals at night or when you know you won’t be interrupted
•Make an altar in an altoid tin or get a box to keep your witchy stuff in
• Get incence / candels because they smell nice
• If you can’t burn anything, use those plastic candles that light up or use perfume as insence
• Get essential oils because they have healing benefits
• Do dream work or learn how to astral project
• Get mundane looking apps that tell you about the moon cycle
• Use water bottles to hold moon water
• Make poppets with old clothes or scrap fabric
• Join a coven online or make friends with other witches online
• Use playing cards as tarot cards
• Keep plants in your windowsill if you are a green witch
• Collect rain / storm water because the water is better than tap water for plants (I don’t know if that is for sure, but it’s a good excuse anyways)
• Put sigils where no one can see them (In shoes, under your phone case, etc.)
• Get herbs from your pantry or tea bags and hide them in plastic bags (I keep my witchy stuff in a fabric bin under a few shirts and you can barely smell them)
• Hide things in drawers, under your bed, in your closet
• Drinking tea
• Meditate (My parents are cool with it because I say it helps me relax)
• Eating foods related to the sabbot
• Get stuffed animals or figures of your fammiliar if you have one
• A girl and a guy doll or figure could be good representations of the god and goddess and can be placed out in the open
• Kitchen magick is very discreet
• Collect crystals and sea shells because they look pretty
• Keep candels and jars separated from your herbs and tools because they’re REALLY loud when they clang together and it will probably wake people up at night if you are doing any rituals
• Collect pebbels and stones an paint sigils / runes on them
• Use a necklace as a pendulum
• Use a pencil or pen as a wand
• Keep a BOS in your notes on your phone or in a small notebook
• Put everything away so no one finds anything and delete anything witchy you searched online
• Remember that it’s okay to be in the broom closet and there are lots of closeted witches!
