Before I found out my mother was also Wiccan I knew what it was like to be a young witch who is unable to be open about their practices for one reason or another (usually because of parents or school friends etc.) Here are some tips for young witches that I hope will be useful:

🍃 Crystals aren’t just for Witches! You can easily get hold of crystals from places completely unrelated to witchcraft. Online fossil and mineral shops are a great place to start.

🍃 If online isn’t an option, try to visit museums and other historical places with gift shops, I can guarantee there will be crystals for sale. (some of my favourites were from school trip visits to museums)

🍃 Tea! Herbal tea isn’t usually associated with witchcraft and you can pick up cheap herbal teas (peppermint, nettle, red berry, apple spice, camomile, you name it) from a local shop usually for a good price. There’s also green tea!

🍃 Linked with Herbal tea, if you want some herbs it’s simple. Tear open the tea bag! It may not be the same as the fresh herb/flower itself but it’s better than nothing.

🍃 Bathes are your best friends. You’ll probably find you already have shower gels and bubble bath with scents like “Sleep easy camomile and jasmine” or “Refreshing Sea Salt” Take a nice relaxing bath whenever you can to cleanse yourself (both physically and spiritually)

🍃 Want to do tarot readings but can’t get/not allowed a tarot deck? Simple. Get a pack of regular playing cards. There are plenty of sources online which can tell you the meaning of each card (Just type in ‘Playing card tarot meanings’ on google)

🍃 House plants are amazing for both Witches and Non witches! Try and ask your parents for a cute bonsai tree, succulent or cactus to take care of. No harm having a cute little house plant on the windowsill right?
