Creating a witchy home aesthetic

Making your home more witchy and magickal is a wonderful way to create a sacred, cozy space.

To begin, it is important to decide what type of magickal energy you would like to bring into your home. Do you prefer the energy of the elements or the energy of the divine? Or perhaps a combination of both?

Do you want a moody, goth décor vibe? Or a whimsical aesthetic? Maybe you're wanting a witchcore or cottage witch home.

There are many ways to accheive a witchy home aesthetic full of mystical vibes. Here are a few ideas:

PLANTS: Plant life can add energy and a feeling of connectedness to nature to your home. You can choose plants that have magickal or spiritual significance, such as sage for purification or rosemary for protection.

There are many houseplants that are safe for pets, but it's important to be aware that some plants can be toxic to animals if ingested. Here are a few houseplants that are generally considered safe for pets:
