  1. Distinction between religion and spirituality. I'd say that union with God is religion and self purification is spiritual. But since self purification helps in this union I will say whatever helps on this path is to be considered spiritual. Religion is more like coming closer to God whereas spiritual is like becoming similar to God, becoming like God.
  2. "Nourish your inner Goddess" Nourish it. Protect it. Cleanse it. Purify it. This is rooted in the philosophy captured in the mantra om mani padme hun, hindu Buddhist sanskrit chant that means the jewel is in the lotus. The God lies within you does not mean that you are God but when your heart purifies the soul achieves qualities similar to that of God or enlightenment. Your state becomes like that of enlightenment and your soul becomes like that of God.

  14. General edition The setup: ?-Sigils placed under your mattress for pain-free rest and anything else you need! ?-Place crystals under your pillow (or in the case) for restful sleep or a specific use. I often place amethyst and Quartz under my pillow for headaches! ?-Hang herb sachets above your bed. ?-Keep any supplies you want nearby in case you become bedridden. Bedridden witchy things: ?-Play with spare bits of energy in the room. ?-Listen to music that makes you feel witchy/powerful. ?-Wash your face with a pre-prepared cleansing spray (add herbs and such). ?-If possible, open a window for at least five minutes and soak in the sensations of the outside world. ?-Read a witchy book/write in your grimoire. ?-Hold your crystals or keep them near you. ?-Washing your sheets/blankets/pillow case = the ultimate cleanse. ?-Meditate and work on breathing. ?-Spend some time with your tarot cards or pendulum (you don’t have to use them though!). ?-Do some dream magick. ?-Drink some herbal tea. Remember, your witchiness isn’t based on your ability to practice all the time. It’s perfectly acceptable to take as long as you need when you aren’t feeling great.
  15. Discreet edition. I realize not every witch has the luxury of being open about their craft, and this can be doubly hard when you’re restricted to your bed and often reliant on others. Not all of these may work for you, but may they inspire you all the same! *If you are reliant on a caregiver who may not approve of witchcraft, please be extra cautious.* There are plenty of ways to practice that don’t put your care and health in jeopardy, and some of the things listed may put you at risk. Please use common sense! <3 Online: Keep your grimoire in a document or on the notes in your phone. Make an altar on Pinterest, a tumblr sideblog, in a video game, etc. Apps! Keep track of the lunar cycle, look at the night sky, use a candle app, pull some tarot cards, draw some sigils. Emoji spells. Witchy playlists. Cleansing: Open your window Let the sun or moon wash over you Manipulate the energy with your hands Burn incense (or a scented candle), as the smoke wafts around the room let it push away any unwanted energy. Visualization. Listen to music that makes you feel calm, channel that. Lots of ideas on this post (Bedridden witch: Stale energy edition) Warding: Draw sigils using water VISUALIZATION + energy manipulation Make a witches bottle that looks like something else Make/enchant a room spray that boosts protection (and smells good!) Keeping magic items nearby: Slowly changing your interests can allow you to have many things without raising suspicion. (Herbal remedies/tea blending = access to herbs, geology + the love of pretty rocks = access to crystals, jars of dirt, etc.). Additionally, the New Age/witchcraft aesthetic seems to be all the rage these days, which normalizes it as a thing many people just incorporate into their interior design! Keep sigils in your pillowcase or under your mattress Keep crystals in your pillowcase or nearby (crystals are becoming a common thing to just have/decorate with) Herb/spell sachets under your pillow/nearby. I used to have one that was stuffed full of lavender but had crystals and sigils hidden in the center. Make and keep sun/moon water in a waterbottle. Ways to connect to the elements (often through decorating/mundane objects) can be found in this post! Candles are great, real or fake! I like the fake ones because if I forget about it/don’t have the energy to access it, the worst thing that happens is the battery dies. EO diffusers and Himalayan salt lamps. Plants!! Performing magic and the like: Meditation, dream magic, astral projection. Energy manipulation: Keep an energy source nearby and draw from it when you need it/to cast small spells, enchantments, blessings, etc. Manipulate the energy in the air. Visualization can be a powerful thing. Enchant items in your room. Plant magic! Bedridden ideas in this post. Drink magic and enchantments are great, and teas often have correspondences already based on their blends! Divination: Tarot: use a mini deck, an app, playing cards or small two card spread that are easy to conceal under a blanket. Scrying: use a small picture frame with a black background, a small bowl of water or your phone screen. Pendulum: they can be pretty easy to conceal! But you could also use one that doesn’t look like a pendulum, a necklace, or anything tied to a string. You could also do automatic writing, shufflemancy, dice divination or stitchomancy. Lots of ideas for bedridden divination in this post!

  17. Pastel edition This one is a little less ‘practical’ and more to get into a certain vibe, despite feeling gross while stuck in bed! Set up: Hang a crystal prism by your window, let it scatter rainbows around the room. Get a Himalayan salt lamp. Decorate with floral designs. Hang wind chimes outside Get thin, pale pink or white curtains to help make the lighting more gentle. Put fairy lights along the top of your room. Plant flowers in a windowsill planter. Get tea-light holders that project designs. Hang scarves or other draping cloths from the ceiling. Get a floral/pale-colored bedspread. Put a bird-feeder outside so you can watch them! To do: Play with spare bits of energy in the room. Imagine them turning light and release them to help cleanse your room. Make rose sugar (dry the petals, then layer them in a jar with sugar. Store for a month or so out of the sunlight). Draw sigils in pale colors and put them on the walls/under your pillow. Keep bouquets of flowers. When they start to die, hang them on your ceiling to dry. Read gentle poetry books. Turn them into spells. Spritz your hair or body with rose water. Put a few drops of essential oil on a safe vessel and let it’s scent waft around your room. Burn faintly sweet candles. Make beaded/crystal chains and hang them around your room, using color and crystal correspondences. Listen to soothing music. Burn pink, white, and silver candles. Keep rose quartz everywhere. Make one into a necklace. Drink sweet herbal teas - be strategic with correspondences. Watch the clouds through your window. Try this lovely visualization technique. Get scented (or not) wipes to help feel clean even on tough days. Make moon water for all phases, not just the full moon. Whisper blessings to the birds that fly by. Keep amethyst, quartz, rose quartz, and selenite around to help soothe you. Make a sachet with rose petals, basil, rose/quartz, and a drop of your favorite essential oil for a boost of self-love when needed. Be gentle on yourself! Love edition For all the bedridden love witches out there. Just because you’re stuck in one place, doesn’t mean your love must be stuck as well. Hang dried roses and bouquets from the ceiling Burn sweetly scented incense Keep a bowl of crystals nearby: rose quartz, jade, citrine, amethyst. Hang fairy lights around the room Spray your pillow and bedding with rose or lavender water Sleep with the Lovers tarot card underneath your pillow Keep a bouquet of flowers near your bed (fake ones count too!)

Wear makeup and fancy clothes for yourself Hang deep colored curtains and scarves everywhere (or pastel, you do you!) Listen to ambiance tracks that lighten up the room (birdsong, waterfall, a cafe, etc.) Assign a candle to each person you care about, and burn it when you’re thinking of them to send good energy their way. Paint your nails and use color correspondences Garden edition Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Being bedridden and having a garden are two things that don’t mix”. And you’re right, it does make it hard to have a traditional, outdoor garden. But, there are plenty of ways to bring the garden in! Bringing bits of your existing garden in: Jars of your garden soil. Give the smaller, weaker plants you pulled a second chance! Make a terrarium using soil, rocks, water and plants from your garden. Dry flowers and herbs from your garden in your bedroom. Keep containers of seeds from your plants nearby. Creating an accessible garden (inside): If you don’t have good lighting, get a grow light. There’s bulbs that screw into normal lamps if you don’t have space for one of the bar lights. [X] The seed-starter trays are a super simple system and often have trays underneath so it’s okay if you miss a day of watering. Also consider: Eggshells Window garden boxes are awesome, but not realistic for a lot of people (including myself). Planting your plants in plastic pots can be an easy way to control their environment and ensure they’re getting enough root space (plus if you’ve done any gardening before you’ll have tons, please don’t go out of your way to buy plastic products!). Place a bowl or tupperware container underneath each pot/planter so water doesn’t drip and you can fill them up so the plants become self-watering. Self-watering pots also exist. If a watering can isn’t realistic, use a pitcher or a gallon jug. What to grow? These plants can (easily) regrow in a couple inches of water: Scallions, Lettuce, Garlic Sprouts, Basil, Lemon Grass. These herbs do well inside: Basil, Lemon Balm, Mint, Chives. These herbs do okay inside: Oregano, Parsley, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme. These flowers do well inside: Begonias, Jasmine, African Violet, Christmas Cactus, Mini Roses. These flowers do okay inside: Marigold, Pansy, Geranium, Impatiens. Cacti, succulents and air plants are all very low maintenance as long as you have enough lighting! Witchy things to do: Influence seedlings with different energies and see which grow fastest. Use sigils to help your plants grow well. Using correspondences, make a tea or cold-infusion with herbs based on your needs. Put crystals with your plant babies. Make bouquets with your flowers based on their magical properties, and enchant them! You can dry them too. Water your plants with different types of water (moon, sun, rain, stream, storm, etc.) Let watering/caring for your plants help nourish you. Make infused oils. Make a terrarium that mimics your home/garden and use it to bless/ward your home. Decorate your pots/containers with color correspondences, sigils and witchy art! Use your plant’s energy to help gain growth, warmth and energy from the sun and soil. Plant seeds when starting new things and to bring change into your life. When you tend them, focus on what they represent. When you’re ready to move on, or take the next step - harvest the plants if that’s realistic. If not, allow them to be a reminder of what you’ve worked for. Allow the magic of growth and life to enter your home! Bath edition For many of us, taking baths/showers is physically exhausting or impossible. Here are some ways to incorporate bath magic into your life without actually taking a bath or leaving bed! Using wipes: Wipes come in a variety of types, making them perfect. There’s usually a good fit for everyone, I personally enjoy the Burt’s Bees brand. I use correspondences to give my wipe-down a little oomph! I’m making this Burt’s Bees specific but you get the idea! Cotton: Purity, healing, luck, protection. Cucumber and Sage: Recovery, growth, soothing. Protection, cleansing, wishes. Grapefruit: Cleansing, purification, energizing, healing. Peach: Vitality, love, longevity. White Cypress: Grounding, purification, soothing. White Tea: Cleansing, clarity, blessings, glamour. You can also draw sigils on the packaging, charge it with crystals, place the package in the sun/moonlight, etc. Using washcloths/hand towels: When I’m stuck in bed for a while, I keep a stack of washcloths and a vessel of water nearby so I can wash my arms and legs, or to put on my forehead to cool down. There’s a couple different ways to make this witchy! Color correspondences for the washcloths themselves. Use water charged in the sun/moon, or rain/storm water. Charge your water with crystals or sigils. If you put the crystals in the water, which is not required, here is a list of crystals that cannot go in water: [X] [X] Infuse your water with some herbs beforehand. If I’m placing it on my forehead, I’ll add a couple drops of diluted essential oils. Using a spray bottle: Sometimes you just gotta mist yourself, which is especially helpful for the hair or days when it’s stuffy. I love adding some herbs or a bit of rosewater into the spraybottle. Once again, you can use sun/moon and rain/storm water. You can also charge the bottle with crystals or sigils. I like to say a little chant: “Like the rains cleanse the earth, let this water cleanse me/my body/my mind”. Sometimes I just spritz myself with rosewater. Other things: Dry shampoo. Use to refresh, glamorize, etc. Charge it beforehand if you so desire. Lotion. Use to rejuvenate, heal, etc. Scent/ingredient correspondences! Deodorant. Charge, scent correspondences, you get the idea! Brushing your teeth. If you can’t make it to the bathroom, I like to keep a travel sized kit by my bed and spit into a cup (definitely different than the one I drink from). Don’t underestimate the cleansing and refreshing powers of brushing your teeth! Anything else you can think of! Low energy + ingredient magic for in the tub: Pour some Epsom salts in there. Bonus points if they’re infused with anything. You know the deal, correspondences. You can also do this for a hand/foot soak if you’re able to access the floor and have a bowl! Plop some tea bags in the bath. Mint really helps me with migraines and stomach stuff! You can also place them over your eyes/on your forehead. Essential oils. I like to put a couple of drops in a bowl on the edge of the tub, it works really well with steam! Simple shower spell/glamour Soak in positivity: a magical bath Cleansing negativity shower chant Weather edition Keep jars of water from different types of weather nearby. Create a page of sigils, one for each type of weather. Try to guess the forecast for the day, then check it! Burn rain scented candles, or ones that remind you of certain types of weather. Utilize herbs and woods that are connected to weather magic [X]. Draw energy from whatever weather is happening outside. Read/write poetry that makes you feel the weather. Hang wind chimes and flags outside your window so you can easily tell the changes in wind. Put a rain gauge in sight of your window. Enchant a snow globe to bring snow. Listen to ambiance tracks that sound like the rain or a storm. Use the raindrops on the window as a form of divination. Make a file with videos and gifs of different weather and pull it up when you need to. Use a glass of water to summon/dispel rain. Make bottles for types of weather, shake to bring it and tap to dispel it. Watch YouTube videos on different types of clouds and how they’re formed. Use different weather’s waters for scrying, cleansing, or flinging something into manifestation. Use a super in-depth weather app. Leave small offerings to weather/storm deities if it fits your craft. Create a terrarium that resembles your area, and add things to manipulate the environment. Open your window! Use a map to draw weather certain places. Create art for your favorite types of weather
  18. Mystic and beautiful
  19. Winter edition For winter/ice witches! I tried to keep this fairly location neutral - so hopefully you find some helpful things even if you live someplace that doesn’t get snow/cold! Create strands of pine cones to hang from your ceiling. Collect a jar of snow so you can always have snow water nearby. Drink things like seasonal tea, hot cocoa and apple cider. Burn pine/spruce/wintery scented candles. Get/make a small wreath and keep it indoors! Use ice cubes to connect to the cold. Keep clear quartz and snowflake obsidian around. Make paper snowflakes! Or find an app/website where you can do a digital one. Use your heat to draw sigils on frosted windows. Put a bird feeder outside your window so you get winter visitors! Use sigils that connect you to snow. Get empty glass ornaments and fill them with herbs/pine needles/things that remind you of winter and hang them around. Wear shimmery blue or white nail polish. Check out the winter decor section of thrift stores when you make it out of bed! (Or have someone send you pictures). Check out seasonal themed/winter aesthetic blogs. White fairy lights! Keep your curtains open during a full moon. Wind chimes remind me of everything. Including! Winter. Get some cute little snow globes. Decorate with winter colors! White, blue, silver, grey, dark green, etc. Use essential oils like mint and cinnamon. Listen to music that reminds you of winter/snow falling. Try instrumentals. Open the window for a minute to feel the cold air (do this early in the morning if you live somewhere warm).
  20. Elements edition Little ways to connect to the elements while you’re bedridden or stuck inside. Earth: Keep jars of dirt from special places. Grow cacti or succulents. Make a mini sand garden. Hang macrame with crystals or stones. Keep a bouquet of flowers. Hang herbs from your walls/ceiling. Get a little plant starter kit, keep seedlings by your window. Keep some books on plants and geology around. Watch nature documentaries. Keep pebbles and crystals under your pillow. Make a miniature garden/landscape using fake or real plants! Reach down and feel the energy of the earth below you. Sometimes this is easier on the floor. Burn candles that smell like the earth/forest/your favorite place. Drink herbal tea. Water: Get a mini waterfall or fountain. Keep plants that grow in water. Get a water essential oil diffuser. Make a spray from infused water. Open windows when it rains. Set up a bird fountain outside. Fully savor your next glass of water. Keep blues and sea green colors around. Watch videos or documentaries on aquatic/marine life. Watch the raindrops or condensation on your window. Keep a bowl of water around. Listen to water/rain ambiance. Burn candles that smell like the ocean or the rain. Use a washcloth to wipe down your face/body. Keep jars of water from your favorite places. Air: Open your window. Use room spray/mist. Burn candles that smell like the wind. Hang wind chimes. Listen to air/wind ambiance. Get a small fan for some air flow. Burn incense and watch the smoke move through the air. Use your breath. Hang feathers in your room. Hang scarves and cloths around your room, watch the breeze sway them around. Get some air plants. Use an app that lets you see the sky/night sky. Watch the clouds from your window. Meditate, allow your senses to explore the air around you. Fire: Burn candles/incense. Hang red or orange curtains. Get a Himalayan salt lamp. Use a wax melter. Get an electric candle. Use a heating pad or electric blanket. Listen to fire ambiance. Use the heat of your body. Watch gifs/videos of fire. Keep a lighter nearby when you need a little flame. Place a little tealight in a fireproof vessel near your bed. Feel the warmth and strength of the sun. Build up energy with your hands, imagine it’s fire. Drink tea with warming spices (cinnamon, cloves, etc.)
  21. Divination edition Ideas for practicing divination while bedridden: Varying in energy + mobility required - please don’t push yourself, hopefully there’s options for everyone! Quick note: I’ve only included forms of divination I personally do. Tarot: Sleep with the deck under your pillow. Do a two-card (or more!) spread - you don’t have to lay it out if you can’t sit up, you can hold them in your hand or place on your lap. Pick one card that represents what you want from the next day and slip it under your pillow or mattress for the night. Play around with a tarot app (I like the products from Labyrinthos but there’s loads out there.) Memorize the meanings of the cards. Make or buy a mini deck for easier use. Do the easy “find this card and whatever is above or below it =X” spreads. Scrying: Use a black mirror or picture frame with black cloth/paper behind it. Get a mini scrying bowl and fill with water, cradle it in your hands. Pendulum: Wear it around your neck. Shorten the string so you don’t have to sit up. Prop your hand on a pillow if you need the strength/steadiness. Use off of the side of your bed if it’s too long (this can be a bit awkward) Keep it under your pillow. Use a mini pendulum or a necklace as a pendulum. Make a simple board or don’t use one at all, just condition your pendulum with basic movements. *You CAN use a pendulum even with shaky hands, it just takes a bit of bonding and conditioning.* Tasseomancy: Get a mug with two handles. Keep in a sealable container until you’re ready. Put a towel over yourself in case you spill. Use a Tupperware container. No shame. Other ideas + Posts Automatic writing Oneiromancy - Interpretation of dreams in order to predict future. Stitchomancy - Get a book. Ask question, then open book to random page and read what pops out to you. This awesome post Note: I didn’t include runes because I don’t use them! I’d love to see an addition with runes.
