    Hello, honey bees, firstly, I just want to say that I hope you're all staying safe and taking good care of yourselves and each other during this devastating time. The current state of the world is definitely affecting everybody, in various different ways, including us witches. I know for a lot of us not only have our daily routines been affected, but our magickal practices as well. So, with that thought in mind, I thought I would compile a list of tips, and ideas to keep your practice thriving.

    For Essential Witches:

    • Start your day with a magickal routine (whether that be blessing your morning beverage, spending time at your altar, enchanting items you will use throughout the day, etc.)
    • Protect yourself (set up shields, carry around protective crystals or sachets, cast a protective spell, etc.)
    • Apply hand sanitizer as an anointing ritual (set your intention, create a chant to promote good health, safety, and positivity for the day ahead of you.)
    • Make the process of washing your hands a short, and simple cleansing of the energy you've been surrounded by throughout the day.
    • During your breaks take a few moments to ground and/or center yourself.
    • After you've returned home do a thorough cleansing process (smoke cleanse yourself and your clothes, ritually bathe your personal items, have a salt bath, take the time to magickally care for yourself, etc.)
    • You are putting yourself in harm's way everyday, and I appreciate you and your service so much. Please be safe, take care of yourself and your loved ones, and know that I, and many other witches, will be sending out healing, and positive energy in your direction.

    For Witches Stuck at Home:

    • Start your day on a positive note (have a herbal bath, make breakfast with ingredients that will boost your energy and your mood, do yoga, etc.)
    • Take this free time to research sects or parts of magick/witchcraft you haven't had the time to look into.
    • Spend your afternoon astral projecting
    • Cleanse your home (smoke cleansing, minimizing, open your windows, use bells/windchimes/music to cleanse, etc)
    • Change up your altar
    • Bless or cast protective spells for the essential workers in your life.
    • Work on your grimoire, book of shadows, or witchy journal - if you don't have one start one
    • You are complying with the guidelines and staying home, I'm so proud of you for that. Although I know how stagnating and disheartening it can be to stay inside, and social distance yourself, you are doing your part and you should be proud of yourself

    Other Tips:

    • Spend time outside, while social distancing, whether going for a walk, spending time in your garden, or exploring areas that you are allowed to spend time in. Connecting with nature, even in small lapses, can help boost your mood, and your spirit
    • Gather and forage natural items for your practice (herbs, flowers, dirt, water, crystals/stones, fruits, etc while being safe and ethically sourcing everything)
    • If you need to buy items for your practice from stores, try buying locally to support your community, and only during your essential trips
    • Draw protective sigils on your hands with hand sanitizer whenever you must leave your house
    • Line your front door with a dried herb wreath or tie a herbal sachet to your doorknob to promote good health
    • Stay connected to your witchy community (send each other rituals, spells and sigils, video chat with your witchy friends or coven, have a live ritual with your friends, etc)
    • The possibilities are endless
    • During this time if you do not have the energy or drive to focus on your practice DO NOT berate yourself. The world is in a state of chaos right now, and no one is judging you for taking time away from your path to focus on surviving.
