I’m a religious (Muslim) practitioner and ur videos r always comforting to me despite be not being Italian practitioner. Keep up the good work, your videos have encouraged me to find out the spiritual path works for me, and be more educated, even tho me and u have different practices and beliefs
@@naoedouard4422somebody called you out for preaching in the comments. So instead of saying sorry, you just did even MORE of a whole preach-y thing about how your beliefs are “the only way”. That is not respectful. Plus, you proved the point of the person calling you out. SHOO!
I don't veil but I always love a nice looking veil. I was walking through that walk bridge in Boston during my senior field trip and we walked by a veil in a case and I said to myself "Damn, that is a nice looking veil" True story Amazing video!!
I also spray my head coverings with L'aqua di San Giovanni. Usually, it's just a random bandana or my favorite beanie (with my favorite band logo) and I'll wear the latter out in public to protect from unwanted energies. I don't really veil in my practice unless I'm doing specific work , especially with my patron saint (who happens to be San Giovanni himself lol) I'm learning to embrace veiling slowly, as a masc presenting trans man who's trying to deconstruct from the sexist stuff in religion. been considering some more ideas now that i see this
Thank you! This helps a lot with ideas on what I can do for veiling. I might try making my own veils too (eventually) As for spray bottles, grocery store and drugstores (probably the bigger ones, but maybe smaller ones too) have empty spray bottles in the hair section. I found out about it on accident a couple years ago. Literally the same size as the one you held up. I use it for magic waters and other such things. =D
My grandpa was Lithuanian 🇱🇹 and Lithuanian American culture is something i grew up more with then anything and i have been reconnecting and learning Lithuanian folk magic and i have been starting to veil and wear folkscarfs " liaudies skarelės " in Lithuanian there traditionally linen and white with different embroidery i have yet to find a traditional one so i plan on making one :))
When I turned seven I started experimenting with covering my head. My family hated it. I used hoodies, I used like amish bonnets I used regular bonnets and I used scarfs and dorags like idk why but I've always had this thing with covering my head especially around those who aren't like super close family
I have the same dogwood veil from jewitches! Also I wanted to ask, I know most practitioners don't want to share specific prayers they use but I was wondering if you had any resources or tips for how to write or choose prayers? Would you reccomend someone to have an "all purpose" prayer that can be said over any herb/tool etc?
In my tradition, I tend to oscillate towards either folk Catholic prayers (a Hail Mary always works) or Italian prayers (especially against the evil eye/hexes/curses). For making a prayer, you can call on a spirit/deity for protection, ask for assistance, and go from there! Or pray to a plant spirit for the same purpose.
I have a BEAUTIFUL veil that I’ve owned since childhood, but it has a tear in the middle. Any suggestions on repair? Or would you repurpose as an altar cloth or wrap for tools (like cards)?
It depends on what the veil looks like. You can probably just fold the veil the same way as the tear I don't know but a quick stitch job or a new altar cloth couldn't hurt 😅
this video was really informative! Also, amazon or a drugstore might carry spraybottles , my drugstore has them! :) I'm curious about if you *have* to use candles in practice. one of my family members has asthma, and I don't want to give her an asthma attack. I've been told that you are supposed to use them for spells & representing fire?
You don't have to use candles in spells at all. If you subscribe to the wiccan circle casting practice like I sometimes do then you will need a candle to represent fire BUT, it doesn't need to be lit. Also candles shouldn't be too much of a problem for asthma I don't think 🤔 though I'm obviously not a doctor 😅 incense would definitely be an issue though. You can also just use these outside or in a well-ventilated space. Hope I could help 👋🏻
hey auntie, ik you use they/them so i wanted to ask as a very fem trans guy, do you ever feel like veiling kind of messes with your gender presentation? i really love veiling, its really important to me as an empath and a follower of hades, but I notice I tend to get misgendered a lot more /: thoughts ?
They’ve worn more feminine outfits in the past and they’ve wore a veil in that outfit. I’m pretty sure they’ve mentioned or implied that they wear veils when they feel more feminine, but I could be wrong as I’m not them ❤
Great question! I tend to wear smaller veils (like bandanas) when I want to present more masc. I do find that I wear longer/larger veils when I want to be more femme presenting, but am also experimenting with toggling a longer/more decorative veil with a more masc outfit! I do tend to get misgendered pretty frequently/with or without veiling, so I may not notice as much as a difference while veiling.
Im also interested in any good ideas for where to get spray bottles. Dont like amazon on principle, my go-to is bulk apothecary, but if anyone has an alternative that is either better quality/pricing or falls into an ethical choices category I'd love to hear the results.
Grocery stores and drug stores will often have spray bottles in the hair section. They are about the size of the ones in the video. I use them for a lot of things
Is veiling ok for a male practitioner. I'm going to start veiling in cemeteries for protection anyway but I'm worried about offending people if I do it in more public places
I actually have a shop with vintage, one of a kind veils that is restocking next Friday! (chaoticwitchaunt.com) - however, the one I'm wearing is by Hemlock Goods, sold by Jewitches.

@@naoedouard4422it’s weird to subtly push ur beliefs like this. Respect pluralism.

@@ChaoticWitchAunt same! He's been really good for me, especially over religious trauma shadow work 😄 (and coming out to an extent)
I needed this video ❤ I like to repurpose the veils after super damaged to make things I continue to use
Im making a veil right now and was just thinking about inspiration
Thank you
The specific red color is also significant in my life right now. You are in tune with something

I would either repurpose or try to sew it together - however I find that it looks kind of funny/falls kind of funny after.

drugstores have them, the local small business one near me has them

It’s perfectly okay! Veiling is for anyone that wants to :3
yeah. you could do a more turban-like style
I’m a guy adding veiling to my practice too. You got this buddy
Can you do a tattoo tour if you feel comfortable?
I do plan on doing one! I'm not sure when I want to do it, but I would like to make one eventually.
They never stay on my head how do I keep them from moving?
Bobby pins!! I like to get the ones with extremely ridged sides.
How do you store your veils?
Where can you buy them?

I LOVE FLAMINGOES

You seem fun
Thanks, my bedtime is 10pm and I love reading.
