dorm friendly magick for broom-closeted student witches
Got roommates that arenât into witchcraft/magick? Canât burn incense in your dorm room? Donât have time for elaborate rituals between studying for exams and writing papers? Iâve been there. Here are some of my favorite undercover spells and rituals for witches living that college life.Â
Journal Magick
Keep a manifestation journal! Find a journal that really speaks to you and makes you feel good every time you open it, whether itâs a bulky leatherbound tome or has a holographic cover and hot pink pages â what matters is that you feel a connection to it.Â
Every morning, write down the things you want to manifest in your journal in the present tense, as if they had already happened. [Note: this works better if you are writing the same thing every day for at least a few weeks. Consistent intent is key!]Â
For more information on this type of manifestation, just search âscriptingâ on YouTube and youâll find approximately 642934 videos on the subject.Â
This is a really great technique for closet witches, because no one is going to be suspicious of you writing in a notebook â plus, itâs normal for people to want to keep their journals private.
Work with correspondences just like you would for a normal spell! You can print out photos of herbs, crystals, tarot cards, astrological signs, or moon phases that correspond to your intention and glue them into your journal (or draw them, if you have artistic talent). You could even get an essential oil that matches your intention and dab a drop of it on the page. Youâre essentially creating an altar dedicated to your intention, just on paper instead of in a physical altar space.
Tap into the magick of color by writing your intentions with a pen in a corresponding color (green = abundance/wealth, pink = love and friendship, yellow = academic success, etc.).
Tea and Coffee Magick
Tea and coffee are already essentially potions, and no one is going to think twice about a college student drinking a lot of coffee/tea.Â
Coffee is associated with grounding and protection, and it adds energy to any spell it is added to. Black tea is associated with protection, courage, and abundance. Green and white tea have their own, slightly different magickal uses. Based on these correspondences, you can use coffee and tea as a base for undercover potions!
For mental clarity and memory retention, brew a mixture of black coffee, lionâs mane, chaga, and ginger. For a caffeine-free alternative, brew an herbal tea with rosemary and peppermint.Â
To cleanse negative energy and release stress, brew a mixture of black coffee, Ashwagandha, cinnamon, tulsi or basil, and Eleuthero. This is based on a Four Sigmatic blend, lmao.
For a sneaky prosperity spell, brew a mixture of black coffee, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and vanilla. Yes, that is essentially pumpkin pie spice, and yes, you can use a pre-mixed pumpkin pie blend instead of buying the individual spices.
I could go on, but you get the idea. You can customize your morning beverage to suit any magickal or spiritual need.Â
Most plants have medicinal uses that are the same or similar to their magickal uses. So if anyone asks, tell them youâre adding these extra herbs for their nutritional and/or medicinal value.Â
You can also charge your tea or coffee with crystals. Just set a small crystal associated with your intention (amethyst for mental clarity, black tourmaline for protection, citrine for prosperity, etc.) next to the mug for a few minutes, or place it on top of your coffee maker. Be sure to charge both the crystal and the drink with your intention!
Candle Magick
If your dorm lets you have candles then congrats, because candle spells are both super powerful and a super easy way to hide your magick in plain sight.
Find a candle in a scent and color that match your intention. For example, you could use a pink, rose-scented candle for a love spell.Â
You can find custom spell candles made by witches for witches on Amazon and Etsy, and these have the added bonus of having been specifically created for magickal use. Some of the businesses Iâve personally had good experiences with are Art of the Root (available on Amazon), Esoteric Arts (available on Etsy), and Crystal Journey (Amazon).Â
That being said, Iâve gotten good results with $1.99 scented candles from Walmart, so please donât feel like you need to spend a fortune on special candles for your spell to be successful.
In a pinch, an unscented white candle can be used for any intention. You can get these at the dollar store, and itâs never a bad idea to have a few on hand.
Oil Magick
Your dorm has a no-open-flames rule, so candles and incense are out of the question. No problem â you can get similar results with essential oils.Â
An essential oil literally contains the concentrated essence of a plant. Magickally speaking, this makes them a powerful way to add some oomph to your spells. Theyâre also commonly used for aromatherapy, so your roommate probably wonât be phased by you diffusing them in your dorm.
You can create custom EO blends the same way you would create an incense blend, by combining different plants based on their correspondences. You can also buy pre-mixed blends online if youâre feeling lazy or if you have a certain blend you know youâre going to use a lot like, say, a focus-enhancing blend for studying.
Another option, and one thatâs more traditionally witchy, is to use magickal oils/ritual oils. A magickal oil is an oil that has been created for a specific magickal purpose â itâs like a spell in a bottle. A ritual oil is created for a specific use in magickal ritual. You can find tons of different ways to incorporate these oils into your daily life for some very subtle witchcraft.
You can create your own magickal oils by combining herbs, essential oils, and crystals that match your intention, or you can buy magickal oil blends from witch-owned businesses. Art of the Root has my absolute favorite oils â I have like six different blends, and theyâre all ridiculously powerful.
Some ways you can use magickal oils: 1.) wear them as a body oil, 2.) diffuse them like you would an essential oil blend, 3.) use them to anoint and bless objects, like tests or study guides, 4.) add them to spiritual baths, and a million more. [Note: many magickal oils come with real herbs and resins in the bottle. These chunky bits could damage a diffuser, so do keep that in mind.]
Personally, I wear magickal oils on a daily basis in the place of perfume, since most of the ones I own smell really good. As I apply them, I say a small incantation to power them up. For example, if Iâm wearing an attraction oil, when I put it on Iâll say something like, âI am powerfully attractive to the people and things that will improve my life.â Which oil I choose to wear depends on the day and the area of my life where I want some extra help.Â
Tech Magick
The nice thing about being a witch in the 21st century is that, if all else fails, you can keep your entire magickal practice contained on your laptop and/or phone. And even if youâre not doing 100% of your witchcraft in a virtual space, you can still use your technology as a tool in your practice.Â
Pinterest is the ultimate visualization tool. You can create a virtual altar to a deity or spirit guide by dedicating a Pinterest board to them, or create vision boards for the things you want to manifest, or create a brainstorming space to plan your full moon rituals⊠the possibilities are endless.Â
Keep your Book of Shadows and/or manifestation journal in a Word document. If youâre really concerned about privacy, you can even password protect these documents. Another pro of an electronic Book of Shadows is that most word processors have a âsearchâ function that lets you look things up more easily.Â
Make a devotional playlist for a deity or spirit guide. Making Spotify playlists for my deities is one of my favorite devotional acts! Iâll put together all of the songs that remind me of that deity, and I can listen to it anytime, anywhere to instantly connect with them. And donât be afraid to ask your deities what type of music they like â you may be surprised by the answer!
If any other witches have similar tips, feel free to add onto this! This is just stuff that Iâve found works for me, but magick is deeply personal and everyone will do things a little bit differently.Â
And not to shove my content in everyoneâs faces, but I did just post a spell to enchant your school notebooks on my YouTube channel, so check that out if youâre interested!
Do other witches dream of a fully functional tea garden of their own? Grapefruit mint is the prettiest mint I have ever grown, and also one of the tastiest. Itâs nice to see it mentioned somewhere!

But I just have been swirling within myself of late, about my relations with people, soul connections and of gender. And I saw on your page that you identify as pansexual, I've had a very intense life so far the has left me spiraling with immense amount of traumatic experiences.

HOW TO CLONE YOUR HERBS
Ever seen another personâs herb garden and wanted one exactly like it? Want to buy loads of lovely herbs but donât have the money? Or want to start a plant business donât know where to start?
Well my friend, I have two words for you. Plant cloning. Itâs natural, free and very easy to do. Â
This method works best for herbs such as
Basil
Broadleaf Thyme/Cuban Oregano
Mint
Oregano
Basically, what it does is allow you to take a cutting from one plant, and grow an entirely separate plant from it. This means that you could have an endless supply of herbs - you can take 20 cuttings from a single plant, and when theyâve all grown youâll be able to take another 20 cutting from each of those plants!Â
So how do you do it? Well itâs deceptively simple. Hereâs how:
1. Start with your parent plant. Due to my recent obsession with basil, thatâs the herb Iâve decided to go for.
2. Take a cutting - about 4-5 inches long. Make sure you do it just below a node (the place where the leaves join the stem, just like above in the picture)
3. If possible, try and cut the stem diagonally. This gives it a greater surface area to suck up water with.
4. OK, so this is pretty much what your cutting should look like. Make sure youâve removed at least the bottom pair of leaves, but itâs good to remove a few sets as the plant can then concentrate on growing roots.Â
5. Place the cutting in some water so that the stem is comletley submerged. I found old plastic shot glasses worked great for this, but you can also use pretty bottles or cups or whatever.Â
6. Make sure youâve picked the bottom leaves off, and that the nodes are in the water. This is because the new roots are going to grow out of these nodes, so obviously theyâre going to need to be in the water.Â
7. Put them in a sunny place where you can keep an eye on them. Above is a picture of the babies with their mummy! After about a week, roots should have grown out of the nodes.Â
8. Thatâs it, youâre done! Once the roots are well developed, you can plant your herbs in to pots. Keep the soil moist and the herb in a sunny place, and soon itâll be as big as the parent plant.Â
You can use this method to get free herbs - instead of buying them all, why not just take cuttings from a friend or family memberâs herbs and use them for your own garden? (with their permission of course)Â
Or, take a lot of cuttings like Iâve done, pot them up and sell them for a profit!
Good luck and happy planting!
