r/BroomClosetWitch

Hey, so I am looking for some new incense, both for my spiritual practice and for fragrance so if anyone has any recommendations for some that smell good. I’ve already tried most of the popular brands like gonesh ect. so I would love some different or unique suggestions. Thanks.

So I’ve been recently getting into witchcraft more seriously, I’ve always felt presences around me ever since I was a kid, but it’s starting to intensify. I can’t say I’m completely thrilled about this at all. It is especially intense at night, I haven’t been able to sleep by myself or without the light.
Honestly I wanna be into the community and practice but I don’t wanna be confronted by anything. I don’t think it’s anything malicious or good just lingering all the time.
Is there anything I can do to free myself from this?
I’m honestly at a loss because it’s been with me for a while and I was at peace with it but I am starting to get very uncomfortable.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you so much 🤍 peace and love.

Hey guys,

I'm moving into uni next month and have been really detached from my craft over the exam period and the time before. Now that i'm having a fresh start at uni i feel like it is the perfect time to get back into my craft!

I was wondering if people have any tips on how they practice in their dorms or any good ideas to keep things a little bit more subtle!

Thank you for all of the help!! I hope you're having a lovely day!

EXTREME Baby witch here, I’ve always known that I was “spiritual” however never explored what that meant for me until this past weekend outing with my friend Lucy (Egyptian Worshiper) and she took me with her to get some spell ingredients she needed, crossing the threshold I just felt like I BELONGED in that space. The past few days I’ve felt someone calling to me, I don’t have the means of an Alter set up but I believe (as I am currently pregnant and having some marital issues) Hera is extending her hands to me in guidance. Although I don’t have the means to properly connect with her yet, I have prayed inviting her to watch over me and get to know me while I gather the proper offerings and tools to meet her.

That being said, I had a dream last night. My grandfather factually is suffering from metastatic prostate cancer and pretty soon liver failure. I do not remember my full dream but I do remember the beginning. My mother and I were outside an empty gas station, sitting at a table set under the awning where one would normally pump gas. There were two tan ropes holding up a VERY basic plank & board boat (hanging in a kind of in the fashion one of those porch swings would be bolted to one’s roof) inside was my grandfather laying down in his final moments. I held his hand till he took his last breath. Once he passed my mom went into the gas station to inform someone inside of what happened. I don’t remember her coming out, when I can pick up remembering part of the dream after that, I was driving in my 1986 Plymouth reliant with my previous abuser (whom I was not in a relationship with while owning that car) and we were on our way to moving into a new rundown apartment together. I belive I saw it is against the rules to ask for dream interpretation without first expressing my own interpretation. However I am a BABY to all of this, it is normal for me to have lucid dreams but nothing even remotely close to that. My teacher (Lucy) says it is quite rare to actually meet many people with portent abilities but that’s what she believes could be a possibility for me. I am not here to ask for interpretation but to ask for book recommendations that deal with portent interpretations/what you must posses within yourself to be considered portent. I mean no harm in anything I say I am very new to these concepts and last night was the first time I prayed to my deity before bed, then was transported into that dream. If any of this post violates rules it is not intentional and I would love to be notified hopefully without harsh punishment. I heed to every auto recommendation while typing this post and if I missed something I truly apologize and will be more careful about it going forward. Thank you in advance and blessed be 🤲🏽💕

💕(This post was originally published in and for r/witchcraft but I’d love any insight one may have on this experience)💕 Even if you have different beliefs from me I respect everyone’s insight and abilities if anyone has any interpretations to offer (if that’s allowed on this sub)

So the deconstructing Christianity to witchcraft pipeline should be studied. That’s exactly what’s happened to me. I’m a Black woman in my mid-thirties, a mom to an exceptionally amazing daughter, I’m separated but in a thriving co-parent relationship, I have completely de-centered men, and I’m praying on the downfall of patriarchy+capitalism. So truly, a lot of the telltale signs of a baby witch haha.

My problem is that I don’t know anyone else around me that knows witchcraft (ideally from the lens of those of the African diaspora). I want to dive into it, but I feel like I need a guide. I’ve ordered a couple books, and have the right intentions, but I’m nervous to dive in alone.

Does anyone know any groups in the DC metro area that might have what I’m looking for? Or even individuals who are open to helping me on my journey?

Thanks for any tips you may have!

hey everyone!

so little question: I basically know how you can raise energy and the most common ways of doing so are chanting, drumming, dancing, meditating but how can you raise energy if you're in a place where you can't do that (broom closet witch) I haven't seen other ways that are more discreet. I've always used the phases of the moon which make it easier for me and I rarely go through intense émotions, I mean when I do spellwork.

I am new to witchcraft and I want to mainly do spells and talk or communicate with spirits or whatever but I don’t know where to start I have an alter cloth, crystals, mini gemstones, candles, parchment paper,2 dowsing boards, 4 Ouija boards, 3 pendulums tarot cards, tarot card holder, empty spell book, empty book of shadows, herbs(red rose peddles, blessed thistle, eucalyptus leaf, St. John wort, mugwort, peppermint, alfalfa, hibiscus flower, lavender, sage, rosemary, hyssop, witch black salt) is there anything else I need I want to also do like baking spells or cooking spells but I want to do one for protection and good luck and wealth if there is one but also one to make me and my girlfriend stay together forever if you know any spells at all please let me know and tell me what I need and how to do them

Making, and blessing notebook (to use as meditation journals or to write about spells etc)

I have decide to make a notebook using different colour papers and other white loose sheets which I already have. All A4 size.

I am going to use that notebook to maintain record of my meditation, and spell work etc

I want to bless the book, meditate on it. I don't know how to put it in words what i actually want to do. (English isn't my first language)

I just need a little help with how do I bless my book and meditate on it? When should I start making book? How do i maintain it?

On which day should i start according to different phases of moon?

hello! i'm a closet witch & i've been wanting to learn chord cutting. i've seen multiple versions where there are candles involved and another where it's simply small items that signify either parties & cutting.

i don't know where to begin and i've no one to ask these questions to:

1. **what do i need?** is salt necessary & what does it do? which crystals are appropriate to use? can my chord be something as simple as a string of yarn?

2. **how to execute?** is there a necessary length to distance both energies? do i cut the string or burn it?

3. **disposal**. how do i dispose of the materials used without harming nature & exposing myself to the people i live with?

*any advice/tip is very very well appreciated*. i came to this subreddit so i can gain knowledge not only on this specific spell alone, but also to connect with other witches cause it's kind of lonely being alone (T. T). thank you!

It has recently come to my attention that a boy assaulted my friend by pinning them down and smashing their head repeatedly with a piece of concrete. What ever did they do to deserve this? Defend their friend from being bullied by him. Even worse this boy is now in the same class as them and I'm a little scared for their life and ROYALLY PISSED that absolutely NO ONE would help and victim blamed them. Please tell me something I can do about this. I don't want to hurt anyone I just want to keep my friend safe and maybe cause a little chaos in his life. I do know his first name if that's means anything also

I’ve been pretty close with this one guy for a while, since we were in kindergarten I wanna say, but we don’t really talk a whole bunch anymore cause of his/his friends’s beliefs (most, if not all of them are pretty homophobic and I’m quite possibly one of the gayest people on this earth). I do, however still talk to his cousin, Sarah. Have I ever met her? Nope. Does she even live in the same state as me? Also no. But she’s the only person who was actually nice out of everyone in that group (she wasn’t friends with any of them either) and we kinda clicked. So now we’re friends on insta and occasionally send each other reels and I notice she follows an account that’s centered around witchcraft and herbology. I realllyyyyy want to say something and have someone to talk to about this kind of stuff since I’m still in the broom closet (and also the regular closet too but that’s besides the point) but I don’t want to come off as weird or creepy or stalkery or anything like that. Thoughts?

Hey everyone!

Moving into my new townhome today and I’m super excited to turn it into a grounded, protected sanctuary right from day one. I wanted to hop on here and ask for some advice, ideas, or favorite move-in rituals from fellow witches.
Right now, my plan is to do a full floor wash with vinegar, sea salt, and lemon peel, then smoke sweep counter-clockwise with palo santo and white sage before all the heavy furniture comes in.

For protection, I’m setting up an entryway grid using some black tourmaline at the base, two selenite wands framing the doorway, and a black obsidian disc I picked up in Mexico mounted near the threshold. I also brewed a threshold protection oil with olive oil, rosemary, black peppercorns, bay leaf, and lavender to trace protective symbols on the doorframes and window sills.

My altar is getting set up early to act as our main anchor. It holds my selenite slabs and towers, a black sphere, lapis lazuli, gem trees, dried rose offerings, and resin jars like dragon’s blood, frankincense, and myrrh. Then over at my desk, I’m keeping a piece of pyrite to keep the solar fire energy high for work and abundance.
Since today is also the New Moon, it feels like the ultimate blank slate for planting seeds and starting fresh. I’d love to know what plants you all rely on for warding or heavy grounding energy. I’m thinking about picking up a snake plant and a rosemary bush for near the entrance, but I’d love other indoor recommendations.

Also, are there any specific crystals you love pairing with tourmaline and selenite to make a home feel warm, rooted, and cozy rather than just sterile/airy? Lastly, if you have any favorite New Moon move-in practices, sigils, or traditional protection symbols you like to draw on thresholds or hide under doormats, please drop them below!

I’ve been really interested in witchcraft for as long as I can remember. It’s something that has fascinated me since I was a kid, and now that I’m 17 and earning my own money, I feel like I finally have the freedom to explore that interest more seriously.
I’d really like to learn more about witchcraft and, if that’s the right way to describe it, eventually practice it myself. I’m especially interested in learning about spells, rituals, symbolism, herbs, crystals, and the history and different traditions behind witchcraft. However, I honestly don’t know where to begin or what I should buy as a beginner.
If anyone has experience with witchcraft, I’d really appreciate some advice on where to start, what I should learn first, and what supplies are actually worth buying. I’d also love recommendations for beginner-friendly books that explain spells and different practices in a responsible and understandable way.
I know there are a lot of different beliefs surrounding witchcraft, including the idea that certain practices can have consequences, so I want to approach it respectfully and carefully rather than blindly trying things I don’t understand. I’m genuinely curious and want to take the time to learn about the history, traditions, and different forms of witchcraft before deciding what path feels right for me.
I know this might sound a little unusual to some people, but it’s something I’ve been genuinely fascinated by for years. If anyone has any beginner tips, book recommendations, or advice on where to start, I’d love to hear them!

Ive always used baths for cleansing, grounding, smoke and scent, herbal washes, etc but this is different, someone has either hexed me or something. It’s really powerful and dark.
Can anyone please help me with suggestions as to what to do? I saw a tarot reader here in Boulder but I didn’t really connect with her or maybe the opposite, so we couldn’t figure it out whats happening.

I’m not sure what I am asking perhaps you get a message for me, maybe you know someone here in Boulder /Denver that does uncrossing work or provide some advise.

I am at my wits end. Blessed be

I’m new to Wiccan and paganism. Iv studies and done some research for about a year and I think I’m ready to start actually getting into but was looking for someone to guide me or even advice 🙂
