Witch Safety Tips
I love the witchblr community but sometimes witches share spells, recipes and “how-tos” without doing the proper research first. So I just wanted to share some of my safety tips when it comes to witchcraft.
✔️ Always research any herbs or other plants that are in spells, recipes, or rituals that you find online. Sometimes witches (unintentionally) share information that isn’t correct or that they haven’t researched themselves. It’s always best to do your own research when it comes to anything that you will be ingesting or putting on your skin.
✔️ Be wary of purchasing spells or anything related to witchcraft or the occult that is “intangible” online. I’m not saying don’t buy them but make sure you do a little background checking (check the seller’s social media accounts, blogs and shop) before you commit to any purchases.
✔️ Don’t bury jars. This is more of an earth safety tip but just don’t bury any plastic or glass containers. They don’t biodegrade. Instead opt for something made from organic materials like cotton, wool or paper. And make sure whatever you bury is safe for the earth :)
✔️ If you’re burning incenses or herbs make sure your in a well ventilated area. Open your window, or back door (if you can). And it’s advised that you don’t burn anything around small animals, their little baby lungs can’t handle the smoke.
✔️ If you want to start a garden, or get indoor plants and have pets be sure to research and make sure the plants aren’t poisonous to your fur babies. Just because a plant isn’t poisonous to us, doesn’t mean it’s not poisonous to your pets.
✔️ Also research crystals, if you plan to work with them. If you plan to make elixirs with them be sure they aren’t poisonous and that they are suitable to be in water. You don’t want to ruin your shinny pretties lol.
✔️ Always, always, always do your research. Make sure that whatever you’re putting in your body or on your body (or your pets body) is safe.
✔️ Never leave a candle unattended <— this is just common knowledge but I wanted to throw this in here because I ruined many altar clothes because of this lol.
That’s all the witch safety tips I can think of right now. If you have more, feel free to add on to the list. And please be safe.
