Witchcraft 101: Veiling!

witchcraft 101: veiling!

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.

12 Days of Shadow Work

This is a for-starters, by-a-starter little “challenge” for witchblr that I came up with, based on questions I’ve already asked myself or plan to ask myself in the process of doing shadow work! Super simple concept, just one question per day. Since there’s only 12 days, you can spread things out through the whole month of December to give your mind and emotions a break! 🎄 Day One: What does my inner child want that they never got? Put it on the Christmas list. 🎄 Day Two: What is something I was taught to hate, and how do I unlearn that? 🎄 Day Three: What is something I internalized that I need to let go of? 🎄 Day Four: What is something negative that I say about myself? Why? 🎄 Day Five: What is a physical object that hurts me to keep around? Donate it so it can become someone else’s joy.

🎄 Day Six: Who do I need to forgive? (A direct conversation is not needed, but you can opt-in to that IF you feel prepared to do so.) 🎄 Day Seven: What do I need to forgive myself for? 🎄 Day Eight: What is something you wanted to learn but were never able to, and why did it interest you? Reflect on why it was attractive. 🎄 Day Nine: What kind of people am I attracting into my life, and how does this effect me? Reflect on what patterns/cycles are occurring. 🎄 Day Ten: Who do I miss? Reflect on what was so impactful about them. 🎄 Day Eleven: What is something you loved that you had to leave behind? See if it can be dived back into. 🎄 Day Twelve: What have the last eleven days taught me about myself? Reflect on how you can use this moving forward. And that’s it! I hope you guys enjoy!

What is Black Moon Lilith?

To successfully connecting with one’s Black Moon Lilith means that one must essentially make peace with issues regarding life, death, and rebirth.

Themes surrounding Black Moon Lilith are:

— radical, wild femininity that radiates or emanates from deep within, femininity as an emanation and not a projection that seeks to please, ruthless self-individuation, fantastically embodying the lunar/non-linear mentality, conscious and embodied power, sex as an act of divine creation, comfort in the state of ecstatic-orgasmic being, the body as a source of infinite wisdom and grace, graceful acceptance of what no longer serves us, achieving the sacred inner marriage of anima and animus/the feminine and the masculine, intuitive connection to our creative/sexual processes and their wild nature, swift identification of falsehoods in ourself and others, the ability to cut away at the falsehoods until all that remains is the essential, core, wild self – nothing more, nothing less.

Lilith In The Signs

Lilith in Aries

The Aries Lilith emerges in the great need to be respected and to feel deserving. However, a profound sense of unworthiness stands in the way of this pursuit, frequently leading advantageous possibilities to be missed. We can only obtain what we believe we earn in life, and when we believe we are undeserving, we will evade or dismiss people, jobs, or opportunities that we believe are too good for us. With Lilith in Aries, self-sabotaging is common. There may also be a need to demonstrate one’s value to others, even if it occurs in the context of  boasting. Aries Lilith fiercely protects oneself and opposes everything that contradicts one's ideals and principles. Aries Lilith typically evaluates how well they do or measure up to their own aspirations of success, identity, respect, and accomplishments. They may hold the view that one’s success and worthiness are determined by what they have obtained or achieved. They must learn not to compare themselves to others; not to judge their accomplishment by the standards of others; and to appreciate oneself as a unique expression, therefore developing consciousness. Examine any areas where you have settled for less than you planned. Consider what you would do if you were declared worthy. Make an effort to engage with this idea. Consider how important the idea of success is in your life. Consider what you are continually attempting to achieve. When you’ve found the solution, consider if you truly want it. Is it worthwhile to put forth the effort? You will achieve a natural level of internal equilibrium by developing the knowledge that you do not have to be the best in every scenario. When the Black Moon is in Aries, we have a great fear of being inadequate. This place might make romantic relationships difficult since we feel intrinsically unworthy or worthy of things like a healthy relationship. We know we’ve found true love when we accept romantic intentions from someone who sees us as successful in some manner and admires and appreciates us.
