🧳✨The Travel Altar & Necessities Kit for the Road Warrior Witch✨

-

 

This isn’t just a grab bag of aesthetic trinkets. This is your mobile temple, your field kit for sacred space, energy management, and staying magically connected while you’re out there hustling. We’re blending intention, utility, and style—because your magic should work just as hard (and look just as good) as you do.

🕯️Mini Altar Basics (All can fit in a tin, pouch, or small cosmetic bag)

  1. Mini Candle (or LED tea light for hotel safety)
    • White or black tealight for all-purpose use.
    • Add a few drops of essential oil or dress with herbs beforehand.
  2. Crystal Companions
    • Black Tourmaline or Obsidian – Protection from funky travel energy and EMF soup.
    • Clear Quartz – Amplifies whatever spell you’re casting.
    • Amethyst – For sleep, intuition, and surviving yet another networking event.
    • Optional: Tiger’s Eye for confidence or Rose Quartz for self-love (because who doesn’t need a little conjured-up care on day 219 of travel?).
  3. Mini Tarot Deck or Oracle Cards
    • Pocket-sized for space and subtle pulls before meetings or moon phases.
    • Wrap them in a silk scarf or flannel for protection.
  4. Travel-Sized Florida Water (or witchy cleansing spray)
    • For hotel energy clearings, aura refreshes, and that one Uber with real bad vibes.
    • Or make your own blend: distilled water + a few drops of rosemary, lavender, and lemon oil.
  5. Folded Altar Cloth / Bandana
    • Doubles as a reading surface, scarf, dust cloth, or glam headwrap. Witch multitasking for the win.
  6. Portable Sigils or Written Intentions
    • Keep a small envelope or notebook page of handwritten sigils or affirmations.
    • Great for quick spell boosts, meditation, or tearing up dramatically under the moonlight in a parking lot (we’ve all been there).
  7. Feather, Tiny Bell, or Tuning Fork
    • For calling in the spirits or shifting energy in a space. TSA might eye the tuning fork but let them wonder.
  8. Salt Packet
    • No joke—steal a few from takeout. Salt is a protective powerhouse. Sprinkle around your bed or use in a travel bath ritual.

🔮Witchy Wellness & Practical Magic

  1. Sleep Mask (blessed or anointed)
    • Glamorous? Yes. Magical? Also yes. Spray with lavender and say a sleep charm to ward off insomnia demons.
  2. Essential Oil Roller
    • Try a “Road Witch Blend”: frankincense (grounding), peppermint (energy), and ylang ylang (emotional balance).
    • Roll on pulse points, under the collarbone, or even the soles of your feet before a long flight.
  3. Anointed Lip Balm
    • Use as a glamour spell—imbue with a chant for confidence, attraction, protection, or “I’m-not-taking-any-shit-today” energy.
  4. Charm Necklace or Ring
    • Something you can wear 24/7. It’s your anchor, your talisman, and your subtle magical flex. Bonus points if it looks chic and hexes misogyny.
  5. Tiny Journal / Grimoire Pages
    • Capture dreams, signs, downloads, or vent your third breakdown of the week (no judgment). Even three lines of reflection per night can keep you aligned.

🧿Optional But Delicious Add-Ons

  • Dried herbs in small sachets (lavender, rosemary, mugwort)
  • Tea bags for sacred sipping (chamomile for peace, green tea for clarity, peppermint for digestion and sass)
  • Tiny moon calendar or lunar app bookmarked on your phone
  • Enchanted coin or token for luck in unfamiliar cities
  • A small mirror – for scrying, protection, and reminding yourself you’re that witch

💼Pro Tips for Witching on the Go

  • ✈️ Flying? To avoid questions, keep liquids under 3.4 oz and label your sprays “aromatherapy.”
  • 🏨 Hotel cleanses: Spray corners, clap out stagnant energy, place crystals on windowsills. Hang your altar cloth and light a tea light—bam, sacred space.
  • 🌕 Lunar Syncing: Set calendar reminders for moon phases. Even a two-minute intention-setting ritual in a bathroom stall counts.
  • 🧙‍♀️ Feeling disconnected? Ground through touch—your necklace, your charm ring, your palms to your chest. You don’t need incense and candles to connect—you just need you.

🖤Because You, Ma’am, Sir, They, Them, or Ambiguous, You, Are a Walking Spell

Every time you roll that carry-on down a terminal, light up a hotel room with your aura, or pull a card for clarity on a layover, you’re practicing. You’re embodying the path. You’re casting with every step.

This kit? It’s not just about stuff. It’s about remembering that you are your altar. You are the spell. You are the constant in the chaos.

Now go enchant the world—one flight, one meeting, one magical moment at a time. And when you get home? Let your husband hand you a glass of wine, let the cats purr at your feet, and give yourself credit for being a damn legend.

🔥 The Torchbearers: A Call to the Witches Who Stayed

  This isn’t for the trend-chasers. This isn’t for the moon-phase influencers, the aesthetic covens, or the ones who skimmed a Llewellyn book and declared themselves a High Priestess on Tuesday. This is for the ones who stayed . The witches who ran public rituals and built community spaces on shoestring budgets. The ones who got their degrees in theology, anthropology, history—anything to understand the bones of what we do. The ones who studied by candlelight, held circles in basements and backyards, and never once filmed themselves doing it for clout. You know who you are. You’ve been looked down on for not dressing the part. For stepping outside in jeans and a t-shirt instead of flowing robes and Instagram filters. For walking through metaphysical shops and not needing to announce your power—because it lives in your bones. You’ve had fifteen-year-olds talk over you on social media, dismissing your decades of practice because they watched a tarot video or learned abo...

  Missing My Circle Under a Distant Moon There’s a certain kind of homesickness that doesn’t have a zip code. I’ve been thinking about my circle back in Kansas City—the women and men who held space with me, cast with me, wept, and laughed under the same sky with me. The ones who passed the salt with the tequila with the exact same reverence as a sacred chalice, who knew the exact moment a spell had landed by the goosebumps on their arms. My witches. My soul family. I miss them more than I expected. It hits me in strange ways. Like when I see the moon at her fullest, glowing behind the evergreens here in Washington, and I instinctively reach for my phone to text someone in the group— "Are you feeling this too?" But we’re scattered now. Different time zones. Different lives. Still tethered, but not in the same room, not around the same altars or fire pits. Back in Kansas City, we’d gather around tables cluttered with gaming decks, tarot decks, bundles of drying herbs, and ...

Who the Hell Am I?

🌿 Who the Hell Am I? I’m a Gen X witch with dirt under my nails, fire in my gut, and a sharp tongue that’s survived decades of bullshit—and isn’t done talking yet. I walk the crooked path with a pocket full of herbs, a heart full of ancestral memory, and a deep, simmering refusal to play nice for the sake of anyone’s comfort. My practice is rooted in earth medicine and rebellion—because I believe healing and resistance are intertwined. I blend old-world magic with modern-day grit, call on the spirits, trust the plants, and speak truth even when my voice shakes (and trust me, sometimes it does—rage and grief both live here). I’m an herbalist by calling, an activist by necessity, and a smart-ass by birthright. I don’t do love-and-light unless it’s flickering over the ruins of outdated systems. I honor the sacred, but I don’t bow to gurus. I honor the ancestors, but I don’t romanticize the past. I honor the plants, the land, the stories—and I try not to take myself too seriously in th...
