a working witch’s guide to paganism in the office
i saw a post recently from someone wishing they could incorporate their practice into their workplace without judgement so here are some ways i do it
essential oils are a great way to cleanse your space/bring in specific energies without bringing attention to your beliefs especially as they’re so popular across the board, i keep a spray bottle with a homemade mix of oils on my desk and once a week i walk around my room spraying and setting my intentions
animal imagery/figures in devotion to your gods, most deities have at least one animal associated to them and something cute and small won’t draw any attention, i keep a little crow plush on my desk in devotion to one of my gods and everyone else thinks it’s just a little decoration
plants! as a green witch/herbalist i know not everyone might share this sentiment but i work so closely with nature that having my work space filled with plants helps me still feel very connected and centered without a second thought
spell jars/sachets can be easily tucked away in desk drawers, i keep one filled with herbs for success hidden away in my filing cabinet and take it out to refresh it in times of high stress

Foxgloves also known as fairy thimbles, witches’ gloves, and dead man’s bells, and 'fox fingers' due to the belief that foxes wear them on their paws to enable silent hunting - notably they often grow in the vicinity of fox dens on woody hillsides.
They are believed to be a plant beloved by fairies, and often appear in charms or protections from maleficia. In Roman mythology, the goddess Flora touched Hera on her breasts and stomach with foxglove in order to impregnate her with the god Mars.
In Norse mythology foxes wear the bell-shaped flowers around their necks; the ringing of bells was believed to form a spell of protection against hunters and their hounds.
Digitalis is used in contemporary medicine for slowing or strengthening of heart muscles, and was historically used to treat epilepsy. In Nicholas Culpeper's 1652 herbal digitalis is mentioned as a treatment for healing wounds, a purgative, for 'the King's Evil' (scrofula), 'the falling sickness' (epilepsy), and for a 'scabby head'.

The community garden is looking so full and beautiful. I feel so blessed to have such an awesome community to work with and garden with. This year has been 150% better than last year. We learned a lot and built new beds, moved to a bigger and sunnier location and got some amazing compost donated. Not to mention the extra month of no frost for our grow season.
