Witch Tip Wednesday 11.14.18

Hidden in Plain Sight

Adding a dust jacket to your witchy books

Yes, I know this is a repeat tip, but much like the broom tutorial, this is fleshed out! This post was pretty much my first Witch Tip that sparked these Wednesday posts last November. It was rough and a photo set and not formatted and blah blah. Figured I would revisit it for the anniversary! Also, I couldn’t figure out how to re-format it and reblog it because it was an old photo and caption thing…

I got this book at my local retailer and as usual when I get a hardback witchcraft book, I decided to cover it with wrapping paper. I do this for a few reasons and it takes just a couple minutes but has saved my books from damage numerous times.

  1. Most witchcraft, supernatural, occult related books I get that are hardcover, don’t have dust jackets.
  2. I can read a covered book in public without a hassle from strangers.
  3. When they’re covered I can keep them out on the bookshelves without worry of house guests getting all skeeved out by yet another pentacle or misunderstood symbol on the spine glaring at them.
  4. It protects my books…simple. There have been some near misses where the wrapping protected the cover from damage and that’s awesome.

You could go hog wild and recover all your non dust jacketed books if you’re a closet witch. Designate a specific wrapping paper for your spooky ones and witchcraft ones, and no one is the wiser. At most, they’d usually just think you had a cool idea of adding some color and festivity to your bookshelf.

You can also magic them up. Write sigils, messages, spells etc on the reverse side of the paper and know each book has a layer of protection, secrecy, memory retention or whatever you feel inspired to do.

Wrapping paper is out and about this time of year and benefits of the times we’re in, there’s usually a fair amount that aren’t related to the holidays, but rather colors, patterns and just neutral designs. Here’s a small walk through…it’s easy, but some small tweaks make it easier.

🦇Cheers, Barberwitch

Make sure practicing witchcraft in your home does not put you in any imminent danger! 

Drink tea – A mundane thing, make it a daily thing in order to make people less suspicious. Say short incantations while stirring in your honey. 

Keep a small plain notebook to use as your grimoire – Use this to write all your witchy ideas in. 

Find a well concealed hiding place to put all of your witchy stuff – Put anything that you want to keep concealed in here. 

Create a portable altar – One easy enough to take down and hide quickly. Draw an altar in your grimoire for a simple portable altar.

Meditate – Sit somewhere you won’t be disturbed and meditate. You don’t need any special supplies to meditate therefore, it is easy to hide.

Paint your nails to match your intent  

Glamour your Clothes

Braid your hair while say an incantation

Trace sigils around your room – Use your fingers so they remain discreet and charge them with intent.

Glamour a piece of jewelry to wear daily

Keep plants and candles in your room – No one will draw conclusions if these are in your room.

Decorate a shoe box to dedicate to your practice – Put any witchy things you want if you are unable to find a place to hide your stuff. 

Use knot magick when tying your shoes

Cleanse your room and home using intentions

Water your plants with growth spells – Speak to them while doing this in order to help them grow.

Do your casting in a discreet location outside – this way no one can interrupt you when you are in the middle of a ritual.

Use color magick when picking out what you want to wear

Use scented candles – Although lots of candles may raise suspicion, if they are scented they won’t draw much attention.  

Write sigils in lotion – Cover your body in lotion sigils, in a couple minutes they will fade away and not be visible.

Stir counter clockwise – In your baking or your tea to banish negative energy.

Use playing cards instead of tarot cards

Go for hikes – A way to be with nature and not raise any suspicion.

Clean your room – This is the equivalence of cleansing your room.

May the moon light your path!
