10 Tips for closeted witches:
Burn candles or incense.
Have plants or flowers around the house and get to know their meanings.
Start a small herb garden, or grow herb plants on your kitchen windowsill.
‘collect’ crystals.
Draw Sigils in a sketch book, they can be made to look very artistic and just look like doodles.
Ward your doors/windows when you are alone in the house.
Consider a shower a literal cleansing ritual and reflect on life for a little bit each day.
Meditate.
Charm clothes and jewellery for protection, luck etc…
Remember you do not need an alter, wand, complex rituals, salt circles, or loads of smudging sticks etc to be a witch. There is no wrong way to be a witch.
You are valid as a witch no matter how often, how little, or in what way you practice.

Anti-anxiety Herbs
A list of herbs that help reduce stress & anxiety & how to use them.
Chamomile: Top of the list because it’s my personal favourite. Chamomile is very calming, & also helps calm the nervous system, reducing physical & emotional tensions & helping to soothe, & calm the mind. Chamomile tea is very effective in relieving anxiety, & can also be used in combination with other herbs as an edible oil to take internally for an instant relief. The smell of Chamomile alone is very calming & for these reasons it can also be used in aromatherapy remedies as incense or facial mists.
Lavender: Lavender is also very soothing & has a slight sedative effect. Use Lavender alone, or in combination with other herbs to place inside a pillow to aid in a restful sleep. Lavender can also be drunk as a tea to provide relief from emotional tensions & anxieties, & aid in soothing the nervous system, relieving physical stress as well.
Green Tea: Helps by relieving heart rate, & blood pressure, & cleans & detoxifies the blood at the same time. Provides mental clarity & reduces anxiety whilst improving focus, preventing one from becoming lethargic. Note that green tea does contain small amounts of caffeine so it may not work for everyone in the same way.
Hops: Used in sleep pillows, & edible anti-anxiety oils & tinctures. Hops has mild sedative effects.
Valerian: Valerian is a strong sedative herb & can help promote a deep, restful sleep. It produces an unpleasant smell, so is usually taken as a supplement or tincture, but can also be used in combination with other fragrant herbs to drink as tea.Valerian has such strong sedative effects that it is advised only taking this herb in the evening, before bed. A good aid for insomniacs.
Lemon Balm: Lemon Balm has been used since the middle ages to help reduce stress & anxiety. It is useful in promoting both a calm, & more alert state of mind. Commonly taken as a tea, tincture, or capsule supplement.
Passionflower: Passionflower has mild sedative properties & helps soothe & calm the nervous system & relieve anxiety. It is also a great aid for insomnia.
Licorice Root: Helps by stimulating relaxing chemicals in the brain, it helps one in dealing with general stress. Soothes & calms the nervous system. Most commonly drunk in combination with other herbs as a tea, & used in sleep pillows.
Note: All of these herbs can be used in herbal sachets & other magickal charms to relieve stress & anxiety.
Remember these are only herbal suggestions, NOT prescribed medicine, if you are already on medication, ask your doctor if it’s ok to use some of these herbs internally as some come can react with medication. Do not take too many sedative supplements at once & consult your doctor before internal use of any herbal supplements if you are pregnant.
Mutable Signs
Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius & Pisces

Mutable Signs are very adaptable and go with the flow. They can change their selves to whatever the situation requires. The Signs are very versatile, sympathetic, communicative and resourceful. They enjoy learning and usually are well liked by others.
Mutable Signs can also be a bit indecisive & unpredictable. They can struggle with their focus by being distracted with their environment and the people around them.
