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.

My name is Yahya from Gaza, I am 20 years old, a student in the Faculty of Pharmacy. I had ambitions and dreams and I was living a happy life with my family in our simple home, but something like a nightmare happened. The war came and took all our dreams and destroyed our home. Our lives became very difficult and arduous. We were living in tents in the extreme heat. My father suffers from chronic diseases, heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes, and a defect in two cartilages in his back and a cartilage in his neck. My little brother suffers from visual acuity, which means very weak eyesight. Help me save my sick family, my father and brother. I ask for your support and participation. A small donation makes a difference. Thank you all 🙏♥️

Some Sigil Basics

Ok so let me just start by saying this is some VERY beginner stuff that a close witchy friend gave me and I figured I would put it here to share with the world!

Begin with a simple phrase

I’m going to use the phrase “I am safe and protected” because it is a little more complex

Take out all the vowels

In the instance of this phrase we are then left with “m sf nd prtctd”

Take out duplicate letters

That will leave us with “m sf nd prtc”

Match the alphabet to letters…

There is no other way to describe this than with a picture…

Match the letters to numbers

So “msfndprtc” = 416547923

Match the numbers together with lines on your circle

So another picture is… my only form of help!

Your sigil is finished!!!

So this is what mine looked like when I was totally done adding my flourish to it!

So this is… how it’s done? I know I probably did a TERRIBLE job at explaining this but I am willing to help anyone who has any questions!!!
