Hello cove, I have been a closeted beginner for a few months now and my parents diced to come into my room while i was painting the cover of my book of shadows and eminently said and i quote "IS THAT WITCHCRAFT? THERE WILL BE NO SATIN IN THIS HOUSE" and stole my book of shadows and now there burning it in bonfire. I am going to continue my practices but im having trouble finging ways to practice in secret, do any of you have any good tips and or tricks on this subject? if so please let me know in the coments.

I’m sorry to hear about your book of shadows and how your parents reacted. One tip I have is to keep an electronic book of shadows. I have a private Pinterest board where I save information to. For personal information, you can type it in a notepad app. Also I like to use my bath/shower time as a little meditation/ritual time. I can turn on the ventilation and lock the door so it feels more private and safe.
thanks, plus my parents have done much worse
I can understand where you're coming from too from a very religious and crucial strict christian family that adopted me from a group home and they said by me living in their house they said." It is not your choice by practicing that forbidden art!!!!!!" They can not be reason with such spirituality so I definitely understand where you're coming from. great tips from " Kimberly Twilight_kim" thank you"
thats the problem my family isnt religious
I know these situations are very hard. And, we have confusion in our society today about what constitutes a "right" and what constitutes a "privilege". This is my personal take on the topic as a mom, house owner, citizen and Witch.
In my practice, it has been my experience that the practice of Craft can change the fabric of a place. I have accidentally done a few things that have left lasting residual energy in a home. I am so much more cautious now. If it is your home, it is your right. If it is not your home, it is a privilege. Witches don't show respect and follow courtesy because someone deserves it. We do it because that is who we are. So, hang in there. Cast outside the dwelling but study your heart out wherever you are. Soon you will be in your own space. Attempt to make peace and build bridges with those you live with. Show them the softer side of us such as gardening, etc. Take the time to listen and care for them. Perhaps they will learn to listen to you. Allow yourself to be a vessel/blessing and not a damn/curse. Blessings. RRB
I suggest keeping information on your phone, which has already been suggested but also lay low for now. Don't try to make another physical book, they seem the type to look through your things for it. Open up a separate email account and link it to a separate pinterest or just use the Google docs under that email but log yourself out.
Laying low is probably your best bet for now, and take advantage of time you have alone. I wish you luck 💜
