Traveling with Your Witchy Practice

If you are planning a trip and want some ideas on how you can take your practice with you, this is the article for you.

I recently went on a road trip and it got me thinking about how I instinctively just grab items for my practice when I am going to be away from home for a few days.

Besides good music and snacks, what should you take with you if you want to travel with your practice?

Most importantly, you don’t need to take anything with you because you are the magick.  It’s also ok to take a break from your practice while traveling. 

If you do want to take your practice with you, some of the things that I always bring are tarot or oracle cards, notebook, crystals, something to cleanse my space with like an herb bundle, incense, or a bell for sound cleansing, and a tea light candle.  An important thing to think about is how you are traveling, if I was flying, I would only bring my cards, notebook and some crystals.

Crystals that I always travel with are amethyst (for anxiety), black tourmaline (for protection), and clear quartz (to amplify the other two).  You can bring any crystals you want depending on how you feel or if you want support for something in particular.

Some thoughts…

What type of rituals do you plan to do on your trip?  Things like herbs could be obtained at your destination, if you need them.

What kind of accommodations are you going to have – hotel, AirBnB, friend’s or family’s house?  If you are staying in a smaller space like a hotel room or with family or friends, consider if burning herbs bundles or incense would be ok with everyone sharing your space.

Most importantly, bring or don’t bring whatever makes you comfortable.  Your practice is your own and there is no wrong way.

I found some really great ideas from Traveling with Witchcraft: What you should be packing + witch travel tips! — Xristi Witch

-            Using mint tins as a tiny travel altar to hold a candle, crystals, pendulum, etc.

-            Small spell jars made for your intention

-            They also give excellent tips for traveling with your craft

In conclusion…

Your practice is personal and can be tailored to whatever your needs are.  Bring items that make you comfortable.  It’s also ok not to bring any witchy items with you on a trip.  You are amazing and magickal just the way you are.
