Today, we’re stepping into the broom closet and exploring how you can practice witchcraft while keeping your spiritual path private. So, let’s uncover the secrets of practicing in a more discreet manner.
First, let’s talk about what it means to be “in the broom closet.” It refers to keeping your witchcraft practices and beliefs hidden from others, whether it’s due to personal circumstances or concerns about judgment and acceptance. It’s important to remember that everyone’s journey is unique, and there may be times when it’s necessary to keep your spiritual path private.
If you find yourself in a situation where you feel unsafe or uncomfortable expressing your higher self openly, there are still ways to connect with your magical nature without drawing attention. For example, crystals can be carried in your pocket as “worry stones” or simply desk decor that you simply find aesthetically pleasing. Incense, essential oil diffusers, and candles can be used as beautiful home fragrances without raising eyebrows.
Another way to express your spirituality discreetly is through the art and decorations in your space. Hang artwork or tapestries depicting moons, herbology, nature, or celestial bodies—symbols that resonate with your connection to the mystical. You can also incorporate subtle nods to your favorite deities or mythological figures through statuettes or artwork inspired by popular TV series or books. (Thank you, Vikings & American Gods!)
And if you enjoy divination, you don’t need a traditional Tarot deck to explore your intuitive abilities. You can use a standard deck of playing cards as a substitute. Assign the suits different correspondences: Spades for Swords, representing communication and thinking; Hearts for Cups, symbolizing emotions and relationships; Diamonds for Pentacles, representing the materialistic world and practicality; and Clubs for Wands, signifying creativity and action.
Practicing in the broom closet doesn’t make your connection to witchcraft any less valid or powerful. It’s a way to honor your spiritual journey while navigating your unique circumstances. Embrace the discreet practices that resonate with you, allowing them to enhance your connection to the mystical world. Remember that your magic shines bright, even if it’s hidden from prying eyes.
