today we’re gonna be discussing veiling. veiling is the act of covering your hair/head either partially or fully. this could be anything from wearing a bandana to wearing a full coverage headscarf.
there are many reasons why a pagan or witch may participate in veiling, here are a few:
as a reminder of a connection with a deity (usually deities such as hestia but it can be any deity)
as an offering or devotional act to a deity
as a reminder of what is above us
to cover or protect the crown chakra
to help with grounding
for shielding (this is often used by empaths)
to focus power or focus the mind
to signify adulthood/womanhood (!! this does not mean that men or nonbinary people can’t veil!! i’m nonbinary and i veil a lot)
as a practise of modesty
because it brings comfort to a person
in old traditions, a witches hair is said to be a measure of their power so people cover their hair in order to protect it
often people veil during rituals as it helps them get in the right mindset
i hope you guys found this helpful!! if you know of any other reasons to veil let me know but these are probably the most common ones used.

Okay I didn’t want to have to do this but I’m in desperate need of funds right now.
Read below for more info if you want. I am disabled and unable to work. I am in the process of trying to get ssi but it’s taking a while and I will likely need to file an appeal with my lawyer. I was hoping this process would go a bit faster and was just going to suffer and wait but that isn’t going to work anymore. So I’m breaking and asking for help here. I didn’t want to have to do that but I feel I have no other choice at this point.
Thank you.
