for pagans/witches who veil or cover their hair for their practice full time, do yall consider modest clothes essential to your veiling or do you still wear what you want? i’ve seen this debate among the community and am interested in seeing what everyone has to say!
for reference i do veil for my practice, just not everyday and i tend to still wear what i want but with limitations!

Here is your reminder that veiling does NOT have to be with traditional veils!
It's okay to veil with a hat.
It's okay to veil with a bandana.
It's okay to veil with a scarf.
It's okay to veil with jewelry.
It's okay to veil with oils.
It's okay to veil with perfume.
It's okay to veil with a simple cleansing.
Heck, it's okay to veil with hair binding!!
It's okay to veil with ANYTHING, and to prove it, here is my veil for today. It's a new hairstyle I'm trying out! (Also, a face reveal?? omg!)

To Lady Hestia for confidence and safety when veiling
Hear me, Beloved Hestia,
Daughter of Kronos of Time and Flowing Rhea.
She who feeds the fires of Olympus and calls all hearths her home,
Eternal Hestia, the veiled goddess, and keeper of the home,
If I have ever lit your flame in your honour, please accept this prayer,
I wear this veil in honour of you and ask you to grant me the confidence to wear it in public, please sheild me from the negative thoughts and actions of others and to keep me safe outside my home,
I ask for your favour with a token of my praise, I offer to you (offering)

Went on a walk wearing my veil for the first time in public, and this field of buttercups reminded me of Lord Apollon, I ended up collecting a few and putting them on his altar

Pagan Veiling
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’ve been veiling as a Pagan for about two years now! It’s not something I talk about a lot, but it started as a simple act of devotion to my deities, especially when I was falling behind in my devotional work while school was picking up.
I kept doing it because it honestly makes me feel pretty and the most connected to my craft, even on days when I haven’t done much to honor my gods.
I’ve always been someone that needs routines and rituals to feel connected to a religion, so this is a simple way for me to feel that connection! 🫶

How I'm wearing my himation today.
My new job knows about veiling. However they haven't seen me do something off the hair and on the body. Today I honor my fathers memory and with pride I will wear it. My job will just have to cope.

Veiling and it’s relation to Lady Asteria
This is very UPG based so feel free to disregard if you feel otherwise (I’ll be forgoing lady/lord for ease of typing)/please excuse any errors or lack of coherency, I’m not the most articulate and may come back to edit or add to it
In the, admittedly, limited historic art we have of Asteria, she is commonly seen wearing a veil, or has her hair tied up in a bun of sorts.
I like to associate her hair and veil with the fact that she remains loyal to her husband and evades Zeus’ pursuit, as many of the gods that veil are either maidens or had a singular marriage without other consorts (Hera, Hestia, Artemis, etc.), so when veiling with her in mind I ask for her to keep me out of harms way from those who wish me physical harm or unwanted attention.
It also reminds me of both her starry and Delos aspect
I relate it to her stars as it’s a blanket over your head that is so light and comfortable that you sometimes forget it’s there, like the stars, in which you might not be constantly aware of them but they’re always there.
On the opposite side with her Delos aspect, however, is that it keeps us grounded (being the ground we walk on instead of the stars we’re unable to reach) and that it’s tied to us in some more mortal way, as you have to be aware of it when fastening it or feeling it against your skin.
So while it may give use give us the feeling of an unreachable safety or something that’s watching over us even when we’re unaware of it, it still keeps us grounded onto earth and reminds us that she’s always we us even if we’re unable to visualise it

Needing Advice!
Khaire everyone! Sorry if this is random but, lately I've been thinking of officially starting to veil as a Hellenic Pagan, in honour of Lady Hestia, and to show my devotion, piety and chastity in relation to her worship. I've been wearing bandanas for almost a year now, nearly daily; and I love them, it makes me feel so secure and protected, and I've been thinking about officially veiling a lot. It just been..calling to me I guess? I usually like dressing rather modestly as well, and veiling just seems like a step in the right direction now. However, here comes the main part of the post...I live with my parents and don't know how I would explain it if I did start veiling, I don't think they'd get it. It's not like they're rude about my practices, they just don't really understand it, so I'm only slightly closeted I suppose you could say? Anyways, I really want to start this new step in my relationship with my practice and my deities, but I don't know how I should go about it. If anyone has any tips or advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, and blessed be 🧡

Elder Forest Bug-Be-Gone
I recently purchased an all-natural bug spray because I hate the way mainstream sprays smell, but I realized a lot of the ingredients have great spiritual properties!
You can find the spray here, and it includes:
Citronella - Purification & lifts the spirit
Lemongrass - Fosters protection & spiritual connection
Orange - Purification & promotes happiness
Eucalyptus - Offers spiritual protection & wards off negative energy
Tea Tree - Clarifies thoughts & raises mood
Lavender - Eases stress & anxiety
Peppermint - Clears the mind & purifies negative energy
Cedarwood - Offers spiritual protection
I’m going to start spraying it on my veils before I wear them as a way to protect my energy! :)
