Quick life update and round up of what is coming up this Spooky Season and beyond!
Hello Darlings!
Holy Hecate, what a whirlwind this Spooky Season has been. The astrology was… astrologying, to put it plainly. Anyway, how are y’all holding up?
Firstly, I’m so happy to be back here with you. The truth is, both AJ and I have been navigating the loss of a dear friend recently and needed to take some time away to heal. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster, that’s for sure.
Now, I’m slowly crawling back out of the woodwork (which, I’ve discovered, has been floating in a bog). I guess this means I’ll just have to post some of the spooky season content I’ve been working on straight into November… so, yeah. Spooky Christmas it is, kids! Oh, wait—Gothmas? Both work, honestly.
Here’s what’s brewing for the coming weeks:

Weaving Your Magickal Tapestry
Remember, you don’t need to do all the ‘jazzy’ things that you see on social media. Even one small, focused act—like blowing cinnamon across your threshold or taking 5 minutes to set intentions whilst having your morning coffee —is enough to mark a transition with magic and purpose. By taking a few minutes for a simple ritual, you move from passively watching the calendar turn to actively weaving the tapestry of your month.
How have you been welcoming this powerful season? Share your thoughts in the comments below—I’d love to hear from you.

Magickal Rituals to help bring in a new month. Its October 1st – the countdown to Halloween has begun!
Its October 1st – We are now officially in Spooky Season and the countdown to Halloween has begun! As the calendar turns from September to October, there’s a palpable shift in the air. The light slants differently, the wind carries a new crispness, and the world begins to hum with a spooky, magickal energy. For witches and magickal folk, this isn’t just a date change; it’s a potent threshold. Pass us the Halloween decorations, we’re going in.
A new month is a blank page in your grimoire, a chance to set powerful intentions and align your energy with the themes of the season. This October, don’t just let the month happen to you. Conjure it with purpose.
Here is your simple guide to welcoming October with witchcraft, from a beloved prosperity ritual to other ways to set your magickal tone.
The Cinnamon Abundance Ritual: A Sweet Start to October
Perhaps the most popular and joyful new-month ritual sweeping through the witchy community is the act of blowing cinnamon into your home. This simple practice is a powerful piece of sympathetic magic, rooted in the intention of drawing abundance—in all its forms—across your threshold.
Why Cinnamon? Cinnamon has been prized for centuries not just for its flavor, but for its potent magical properties. It’s associated with:
Prosperity & Abundance: Its warm, stimulating energy is believed to attract wealth and success.
Protection: The strong scent is said to create a protective barrier against negative influences.
Spiritual Power: It raises vibrational energy, making it perfect for amplifying your intentions and spiritual work.
How to Perform the Cinnamon Ritual:
Gather Your Supplies: All you need is about a tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon is ideal, but any cinnamon from your kitchen spice rack will work beautifully.
Set Your Intention: Before you begin, hold the cinnamon in your hand. Close your eyes and focus on what “abundance” means for you this October. Is it financial prosperity? An abundance of joy, creativity, or peace? Be specific in your mind.
Blow in the Blessings: Stand outside your open front door, facing inward. Place the cinnamon in the palm of your hand. Take a deep breath, focusing on your intention, and gently blow the cinnamon from your hand, across the threshold and into your home. As you do, you can say a simple affirmation aloud, such as:“With this cinnamon, I blow in prosperity and joy. Welcome, October. My home is a magnet for abundance.“
Let it Settle: Do not sweep or vacuum the cinnamon for at least 24 hours. This allows the energy to settle and permeate your home, giving the magic time to work. After that, you can clean it normally, visualising any residual stagnant energy being swept away with it.
While the cinnamon ritual is a fantastic foundation, you can build a more personalised monthly practice around it. Here are a few other ways to welcome October’s unique magic.
Energetic Cleansing: Sweep Away the Old Before you can fill a cup, it must be empty. Start your month by cleansing your physical and energetic space of any lingering September energy.
Open a Window: Even for just a minute. Let the stale air of the past month out and invite the crisp, new energy of October in. Shouting and commanding bad spirits out of the house is another fun way to get the house vibes up.
Smoke Cleansing: Pass a bundle of rosemary, cedar, or sage around your front door, windowsill, and yourself to clear stagnant energy. As you do, state, “I release all that no longer serves me. My space is clear and receptive.” or whatever intents feel right to you.
Sound Bath: Ring a bell, chime, or sing a note in each corner of your main rooms. Sound is a powerful vibratory tool for breaking up dense energy. Yes, banging a saucepan does actually count.
2. Set the Tone: Candle Magic for Your Intentions What do you want to manifest this October? A candle spell can set the tone.
Take a candle (a tea light or a small chime candle is perfect). Anoint it with a drop of olive or sunflower oil, moving from the wick outward to draw energy in, or from the base to the wick to release energy.
As you do, speak your intention for October. Is it protection for the spooky season? Introspection for your shadow work? Joy for the Halloween festivities? Press that intention into the wax.
Light the candle and let it burn safely while you meditate, write in your journal, or simply enjoy a moment of quiet. Visualize your month unfolding as you desire.
3. Divination for the Month Ahead: Consult the Cards Ask your tarot or oracle deck for guidance. A simple three-card pull can offer profound insight:
Card 1: The Energy of September’s End. What are you carrying over?
Card 2: The Core Theme of October. What is the central lesson or focus?
Card 3: Advice for Navigating the Month. How can you best work with this energy? Journal the message and keep the cards on your altar or desk as a guide you can revisit all month long.
4. Create an October Grimoire Page Dedicate a page in your Book of Shadows or journal to this powerful month.
Write the word “OCTOBER” in a beautiful script.
Note the astrological events (New Moon, Full Hunter’s Moon).
Circle Samhain on October 31st.
Jot down your cinnamon ritual intention, your tarot pull, and any goals or spells you want to work on. This act physically and magically dedicates space for the month’s magic, making you an active participant in its creation.
Weaving Your Monthly Tapestry
You don’t need to do all of these things. Even one small, focused act—like blowing cinnamon across your threshold—is enough to mark the transition with magic and purpose. By taking just 15-30 minutes for this practice, you move from passively watching the calendar turn to actively weaving the tapestry of your month.

Now, without further ado… let’s summon the interview!
Q: Your book features witchcraft, manifestation, and a Book of Shadows. What kind of research did you do into real-world spellcraft and magical practices to make Morgana’s rituals feel authentic?
A: Researching for Wish You Dead was one of the most creatively enriching parts of the writing process. I wanted Morgana’s rituals to feel grounded and believable—not like something plucked from a fantasy film, but like they could really be performed by someone today. To achieve that, I approached the research from a few different angles.
I started with books—both contemporary guides on modern witchcraft and manifestation, and historical texts on the persecution of witches, especially during the early modern period. That gave me insight into how deeply personal and spiritual witchcraft has always been, and how much of it is rooted in reclaiming power, intention-setting, and community ritual. I read accounts of so-called witches who were accused for everything from healing with herbs to simply being “too independent,” and that fed into the emotional core of Morgana’s story.
Social media was surprisingly helpful, too. Platforms like TikTok and Instagram are full of practicing witches sharing their Book of Shadows, altar setups, daily rituals, and thoughts on ethics, energy, and intention. Watching those gave me a real-time sense of how diverse modern magical practices are. It also helped me write rituals that felt real, not performative – although the dramatic element is absolutely part of Morgana’s persona!
Q: Do you believe in the power of manifestation or magic yourself? Did writing this book change your perspective on witchcraft at all?
A: Writing Wish You Dead has taken me on such an unexpected journey of discovery—both creatively and personally. I’ve always had a sense that we’re part of something bigger, that there’s more to life than what we can see or explain. The idea of gratitude isn’t new to me but diving into this book really deepened my understanding of manifestation and magic, especially the power of intention.
Before I started writing, I’ll admit I had a very simplified view of manifesting—something like hoping for what you want and then waiting for the universe to deliver it to your doorstep. But through writing Morgana’s story, I began to see it so differently. Manifestation, at its core, is about clarity, self-worth, and action. It’s about knowing what you truly want, believing you deserve it, and aligning your energy and efforts with that vision. That’s incredibly empowering, and it’s something I’ve carried into my own life.
Exploring witchcraft from a historical and contemporary perspective also shifted my mindset. I’ve come to see it not just as a spiritual path, but as a form of self-empowerment and deep connection—to nature, to intention, to your own voice. There’s something really magical in that, whether you identify as a witch or not.
So yes, I do believe in magic—but not in the Hollywood sense. I believe in the magic of energy, belief, intuition, and action. Writing this book didn’t just change my perspective on witchcraft—it expanded it.

Q: Morgana is a morally complex protagonist. How did you balance making her powerful yet vulnerable, feared yet relatable?
A: I love this question—because it taps right into one of the things I care most about in storytelling: the beautiful complexity of being human. And honestly, there’s no one more complex than a teenage girl.
In my other life, I’m a Deputy Headteacher, so I spend my days surrounded by teenagers—and that is an absolute gift. Seeing them move through the world, constantly adapting, questioning, reacting… it’s endlessly fascinating. I talk about duality a lot in Wish You Dead, but the truth is that teenagers go beyond duality. They’re shapeshifters. They assess the environment, read the energy in the room, and become who they need to be in that moment to survive, to stay safe, to belong. That kind of emotional agility is powerful—and often misunderstood.
So when I was writing Morgana, I didn’t want to flatten her into being just one thing. She’s strong, yes—but she’s also scared. She’s angry, but she’s also deeply vulnerable. She makes questionable choices, but they come from a place of pain, of grief, of trying to protect herself. And I think that’s what makes her real.
In many ways, it would have been far harder to write a one-dimensional teenage protagonist than a morally complex, contradictory, emotionally messy one. Teenagers are all of those things—powerful and fragile, brave and afraid, fierce and full of self-doubt. That’s not something to fix. That’s something to honour. And with Morgana, I wanted to do exactly that.
Q: What’s your writing ritual? Do you have a “spell” for creativity (e.g., specific music, candles, etc.)?
A: If procrastination counts as a ritual, then yes—I’m deeply committed to mine! Before I can write a single word, the house has to be spotless (which obviously takes time), the right candles must be lit (scent and colour matter), and I have to find the perfect spot in the house to write—which, unhelpfully, seems to change every single day. Sometimes it’s the kitchen table, sometimes the bedroom floor, sometimes somewhere entirely impractical. It’s like a quest just to get into the right headspace.
For Wish You Dead, that headspace became even more specific. I brought a few magical tools into the mix to help anchor me in Morgana’s world. I kept a trio of crystals next to my laptop—carnelian for creativity, sodalite for intuition, and lapis lazuli for self-expression. Whether or not they “worked” in a traditional sense, they definitely helped me focus my energy and feel more connected to the story I was trying to tell.
Music was absolutely essential too—especially because one of the central themes of the book is female rage. I needed songs that tapped into that energy and let it rise to the surface while I wrote. Wicked Ones by Dorothy and How Villains Are Made by Madalen Duke were two standouts on my playlist—they helped me access that raw, unapologetic power that runs through Morgana’s journey. The right song at the right moment could pull me straight into Avalon and into her head, no matter how chaotic the rest of the day had been.
So yes, while I may not have a formal spell for creativity, I definitely have a ritual—and a healthy dose of superstition, mood-setting, and atmosphere-building. Writing, for me, is half craft and half magic. The trick is just showing up…after the house is clean, of course…

We’ve pulled together 3 quick Candle magick spells that even the busiest of witches can fit into their day.
Candle magick is one of the most popular forms of witchcraft. It’s also one of the best magickal practices to get to grips with for baby witches in my opinion —and for good reason. It’s accessible, powerful, and deeply symbolic. Fire transforms energy quickly, making it perfect for witches who want fast, effective spells without elaborate setups. Also, let’s be honest, most of us have a penchant for a bit of flame…it’s almost primitive.
Whether you’re rushing out the door or need a quick energetic boost between meetings, these 5-minute candle spells will help you manifest protection, money, and self-love with minimal effort.
Why Candle Magic?
Fire is transformative—it burns away negativity and fuels manifestation. It can also create smoke which allows your intentions to dispel into the ether.
Colour correspondence -Using certain shades and colours amplifies intentions (e.g., green for wealth, pink for love). If you can’t get a specific colour candle then I recommend substituting for white.
No fancy tools needed—just a candle, matches or lighter, and your focus. Simple but power witchcraft at it’s best!
Candle Magic Perfect for: Apartment and witches who live in small spaces, stealth practitioners, and anyone who’s “too busy” for long rituals.
So onto the spells my darlings! Here are 5 quick candle magick spells for you to try and if you’re feeling confident, even add your own spin to. Just remember to be safe when using any materials and well, don’t set fire to shit basically.
Emergency Protection Spell (Black Candle + Salt Ring)
When to use: You feel drained, sense negative energy, or are about to enter a stressful situation. Perfect if you’re about to have a dreaded one to one work meeting or need to cleanse your personal space after a negative visitor.
How to Do It:
Light a black candle (repels negativity).
Draw a salt ring around it (salt purifies and protects).
Say aloud: “No harm shall reach me, no ill shall stay. This flame burns bright to keep them away.”
Let the candle burn for 5 minutes (or snuff it out and relight later as needed).
Tip: Use a tea light for a quick, mess-free version.
When to use: Before a paycheck, job interview, or when you need a financial boost. Also great if you’re manifesting money and wanting to attract abundance
Heads up!A lot of people ‘block’ their intentions for attracting abundance with their money wounds (I will cover that subject in depth in another post) so just remember that money isn’t evil,…how it’s spent and by who it is. If you have abundance you aren’t taking it away from anyone else…trust me there is enough to go around 😉
What you need: A green candle, a bayleaf, a pen and fire proof bowl.
How to Do It:
Light a green candle (color of prosperity).
Write a money amount or goal on a bay leaf (e.g., “£500” or “new job”).
Hold the Bay leaf to your lips, whisper your wish, then burn it in the flame.
Let the candle burn down completely (or for at least 5 minutes).
Why it works: Bay leaves are fast-acting in fire magic, and green candles align with wealth energy.
Self-Love Spell (Pink Candle + Rose Petal Anointing)
When to use: After a breakup, on bad mental health days, or when you need a confidence boost.
How to Do It:
Light a pink candle (love and compassion).
Rub rose petals between your fingers to release their oil, then anoint the candle (or use rose essential oil).
Say: “I am worthy, I am enough. My heart is open to my own love.”
Gaze at the flame and visualise warmth filling your chest.
Further considerations: Add a piece of rose quartz nearby to amplify the energy. Working with Venus? Her day is Friday so maybe perform the self love ritual then? Why not check out what the astrology and what the moon phase is on the day that you perform the ritual to really make this spell ‘Pop’
Tea lights are ideal for renters—self-contained, short burn time, and low fire risk. They can also float on water in some cases so if you wish to be extra cautious why not do the rituals in the tub?
Pillar candles require a stable holder and should never be left unattended.
Never leave burning candles near curtains, pets, or kids! As someone with a Kitten, trust me on this one.
Ok Coven, now it’s your Turn!
Try one of these spells tomorrow morning—they take less time than brewing coffee!
Which spell will you try first? Tell us in the comments! Psst….You can also Tag Digital Coven on Instagram and TikTok with your candle setups—I’d love to see your magic! #digitalcoven#digitalcovencandles
Why not show me some love on my social channels as well, it really makes me feel warm and fuzzy when I hear from you! Also, if I inspire any of your work, please give me credit. It helps in this digital world – sharing is caring now, darlings!
Emma has pulled together 5 witchy morning rituals for your daily practice which are low lift but high impact.
As an ADHD witchy Queen, trust me when I say that I used to start the day with trauma rather than rituals. I’d wake up in an insane panic after sleeping through my alarm, rush to the shower, where I would usually have an anxious cry (No, seriously for years I’d find myself crying in the shower trying to get into my head how to start the day and not understanding why I just couldn’t be a morning person and just DO life like ‘everyone else’) throw some clothes, slap some make up on and then run to the tube station. I’d finally reach my destination where I would always, and I mean always be 5 ….ok, 10 minutes late. Time blindness is real y’all. If you know oh you know. Anyway, one diagnosis and a lot of therapy and shadow work later I am happy to say that I have now discovered mornings and created ways to make them calm and enjoyable…I just really wanted to highlight the above as I’d hate anyone to read the below and think they were failing at life because they simply suck at mornings especially on a work day. I get it, this is a safe space, darlings. Trust me, if you find it hard to get out of bed….that is a normal reaction to a world that is truly over stimulating and scary at times…<3
Anyway, as mentioned here are some further low lift rituals that you can perform in the morning to get you get ready for the day:
As mentioned above mornings set the tone for your entire day— so why not infuse them with a little intentional witchcraft? Whether you’re a busy witch or just love starting your day with mindful magic, these simple, powerful rituals will help you align with your energy, set clear intentions, and move through the day with purpose.
Here are five easy morning witchy rituals I’ve pulled to weave into your daily routine without too much effort….as the days are hard enough, right?
Light a candle – You can even choose a colour to help set up your intentions for the day – e.g. yellow for energy, or green for abundance
Stand or sit near a window where you can see the morning light.
Hold your hands over the flame (safely) and say: “With this light, I welcome the day. May my path be bright in every way.” Or another manifestation of your choice – I love to make my own that suits me.
List three things you’re grateful for (out loud or in your mind).
Let the candle burn while you get ready, or snuff it out to relight later.
Why It Works: Fire is a transformational element, and gratitude shifts your energy toward abundance.
Tip: Use a small tea light if you’re short on time!
As you prepare your tea or coffee, stir clockwise and whisper an intention:
“This brew energises me for a productive day.”
“This drink fills me with creativity and joy.”
“This drink will inspire the creativity I need for today’ s ideas meeting’ etc.
Add magical ingredients:
Cinnamon (success)
Honey (sweetness in life)
Lavender (calm)
Chamomile (Abundence)
Before drinking, hold the cup and visualise your day going smoothly.
Why It Works: Kitchen witchcraft is all about infusing intention into everyday actions—sipping your morning drink becomes a spell!
Magical Add-Ins: Try ginger for motivation or mint for mental clarity – or a herb that correlates with whatever you’re intending for the day…and/or lets be real, what you have in the house 😉
Shuffle your deck while asking: “What do I need to know about today?”
Pull three cards:
Card 1: Energy of the day
Card 2: A challenge to be aware of
Card 3: Advice for navigating the day
Journal a quick note or take a photo to reflect on later.
Why It Works: A mini tarot reading helps you anticipate the day’s energy and align your actions. It’s also super useful for those learning tarot as you get to reflect on how the day went which helps you understand card patterns and develop your own interpretations better.
Tips:
Alternative: Use an affirmation card if you’re short on time!
Pull a Tarot card of the day if it’s easier
Don’t panic! Pull the tower? That doesn’t mean that the day is ruined it could just mean something unexpected and sudden happens etc
Choose an essential oil or perfume with magical properties:
Rosemary (mental clarity)
Vanilla (self-love)
Citrus (energy & joy)
Dab a small amount on your wrists and say an affirmation: “I am protected, confident, and ready for this day.”
Rub your wrists together to activate the energy.
Why It Works: Scent is deeply tied to memory and emotion—anointing yourself programs your energy for the day.
Witchy Perfume Hack: Use a vanilla-based scent for attraction magic!
If you can’t get essential oils then get a perfume that has elements of the scents you wish to use. I am obsessed with this Jo Malone Sage and sea salt scent at the minute
Best for: Grounding & Focus…and a bit of glamour if you’re channeling an office siren moment.
How to Do It:
Hold a cleansed crystal (clear quartz for clarity, amethyst for intuition, or carnelian for motivation).
Place it on a windowsill to catch the morning sun for 5-10 minutes.
As it charges, set an intention: “This stone holds my focus and strength for the day.”
Carry it in your pocket or wear it as jewelry.
Pst……I am also a faceroller fan and do this with my crystal face roller as well so when I roll it on my face, I am also setting my intentions. You know we love witch beauty rituals here at Digital Coven!
Why It Works: Crystals absorb and amplify energy—morning sunlight supercharges their power for your daily intentions.
Bonus: Pair with a daily affirmation while holding the crystal.

Let welcome in the start of the Month Witchy style darlings!
A new month is like a mini New Year—full of fresh energy, untapped potential, and a chance to reset your Magickal practice. Whether you’re a seasoned witch or just love a little mystical flair in your routine, there are countless enchanting ways to honour this monthly transition. Here are some of my favourite witchy ways to welcome the start of the month with style, intention, and a sprinkle of enchantment.
Tarot and oracle cards are powerful tools for guidance, reflection, and setting the tone for the weeks ahead. A simple monthly spread can help you focus your energy and prepare for what’s coming. It’s also a great way to practice tarot reading if you are a beginner:
How to Do It:
Shuffle your deck while thinking: “What energy should I focus on this month?”
Pull three cards:
Card 1: Theme of the month
Card 2: A challenge to be aware of
Card 3: Advice for navigating the month
Journal your insights and revisit them weekly.
Why It Works: Tarot helps you tap into your intuition and align with the cyclical nature of time. It’s like having a mystical roadmap!
A new month calls for a fresh, clean energy in your home. Smoke cleansing (with herbs like sage, rosemary, or your preferred cleanser – I’m partial to cinnamon and use it everyday..see cinnamon section below) or sound cleansing (with bells, singing bowls, or even clapping) can clear out stagnant vibes.
How to Do It:
Light a cleansing bundle (or use an incense stick) and walk through each room, wafting smoke into corners and doorways.
Say aloud: “I release what no longer serves me and welcome in positive energy.”…I’ve also been known to just bash a frying pan, opening my windows and screaming at negative energy to leave my house – as always here at Digital Coven, do what feels right for you.
Alternatively, ring a bell or chime in each room to vibrationally cleanse the space.
Why It Works: Energetic cleansing helps reset your environment, making it easier to manifest new goals.
Cinnamon isn’t just for lattes (but for sure you can use them ritually in your coffee) —it’s a powerful prosperity herb! Sprinkling it at your doorstep at the start of the month invites wealth, success, and positive energy into your home.
How to Do It:
On the first day of the month, take a pinch of ground cinnamon.
Stand at your front door and say: “As this cinnamon lies here, abundance draws near.”
Sprinkle it in a line across your threshold (or just inside the door). You can also put it on your palm and blow it out of the door for the same effect.
Why It Works: Cinnamon has long been used in money magic for its fiery, fast-acting energy. Placing it at your door symbolically welcomes prosperity into your life. You can also use a stick of it every morning to stir your coffee for a daily Abundance ritual, just make sure to stir the intention clockwise towards yourself.

A witch jar (or charm bag) is a simple way to contain your intentions for the month. Fill it with herbs, crystals, and symbols that align with your goals.
How to Do It:
Choose a small jar or pouch.
Add ingredients like:
Rosemary (clarity)
Citrine (abundance)
Cinnamon (success)
A written intention on paper
Seal it and keep it on your altar or in your bag.
Why It Works: Witch jars hold concentrated energy and act as a physical reminder of your monthly goals.
The start of the month is a great time to invite prosperity—whether financial, emotional, or spiritual. A simple abundance ritual can set the tone.
How to Do It:
Light a green or gold candle (colors of wealth).
Hold a coin or dollar bill and say: “Money flows to me easily, and my blessings multiply.”
Place the money in your wallet as a prosperity charm for the month.
Why It Works: Rituals program your subconscious to attract abundance by aligning your energy with gratitude and openness.
Refresh Your Altar for the New Month
If you have a witchy altar, the start of the month is the perfect time to rearrange, cleanse, and rededicate it. I am very guilty of having a messy altar so no shame here, darlings!
How to Do It:
Dust off and cleanse crystals/statuettes.
Swap out seasonal decor (flowers, colors, symbols).
Add a new offering (a crystal, fresh herbs, or a written intention).
Why It Works: An updated altar reflects your current energy and keeps your practice vibrant.
A monthly cleansing bath washes off old energy and prepares you for new beginnings.
How to Do It:
Add Epsom salt, rosemary, or rose petals to your bath.
Light candles and say: “I release the past and welcome this new chapter.”
Why It Works: Water is a purifying element, and ritual baths are a form of spiritual reset.
The start of a new month is ripe with magic—whether you prefer tarot, cleansing, spellwork, or simple mindful rituals. Pick one (or mix a few!) to set the tone for a month full of intention and enchantment.
Which one will you try first? Let me know in the comments! ✨
(Note: Always practice fire safety, and remember—magic is as much about mindset as it is about ritual.)

I share some of my favourite Witchy haunts in Bloomsbury London, one of my most loved locations in the capital.
Well hello there my daring Coven,
I was recently invited to go on a little adventure to Bloomsbury in London and what I found there was simply delightful! I wanted to share some things that you can do within this Iconic part of London should you ever decide to visit Old Blighty’s capital City (and my truest love, (Said in cockney accent) Laaaannndann Town!
Bloomsbury, known for its intellectual history and leafy squares, is also home to mystical and spiritual treasures perfect for witches, pagans, and those on a spiritual path. From magical bookstores to peaceful parks ideal for grounding rituals, here’s a guide to Bloomsbury’s most enchanting spots.
Situated just off the British Museum, The Atlantis Bookshop is a Bloomsbury treasure for witches and occultists. As one of the oldest occult bookshops in London, it has been a cornerstone of magical study since 1922. Whether you’re looking for books on witchcraft, tarot, or ceremonial magic, this shop has it all. You’ll also find tools for spellwork like candles, incense, and crystals, making it a perfect stop to restock your magical supplies. You may even bump into me there as I blooming love this love this book store and they have certainly helped me add to my Tarot card collection a few times, eek!
The British Museum is more than just a hub of historical artifacts—it’s a treasure trove of magical history. For witches and occultists, the Egyptian and Assyrian collections offer insight into ancient magical practices, protection amulets, and sacred symbols. Whether it’s the Book of the Dead or powerful talismans used by the ancients, there’s much for the modern practitioner to learn here. Don’t miss out on the mystical collections of ancient rituals and symbols, from protection amulets to sacred scrolls. Check out there current events and where to book guided tours here.
Bloomsbury has so many fabulous Museums and Galleries so check out a comprehensive list here
Bloomsbury is famous for its charming squares, many of which offer tranquil spaces perfect for magical work. Russell Square, Bedford Square, and Gordon Square are all havens for anyone looking to meditate, perform a grounding ritual, or simply connect with the earth’s energies. The quiet, leafy surroundings provide an ideal spot for outdoor tarot readings or spiritual contemplation, especially in the early mornings when the energy is serene. You can even book out some of their parks for events, so perfect if you fancy a coven meeting with a unique London Twist!
While not strictly magical, the Foundling Museum has a strong connection to Bloomsbury’s spiritual and compassionate history. The museum tells the story of theFoundling Hospital, established in the 18th century to care for abandoned children. Witches working with themes of charity, ancestral healing, or children’s protection may find this a moving place to visit. The history and energy of the site make it a unique stop for those on a spiritual journey. I went via a walking tour and the energy around this area was magical. On that note, I highly recommend booking a walking tour if you can, I learned so much!
5. St. George’s Gardens
Judd Street
One of Bloomsbury’s hidden gems, St. George’s Gardens was originally a burial ground, and now serves as a peaceful green space with a lingering sense of the past. For witches who work with spirits or ancestors, this garden is a quiet, reflective place perfect for ancestral veneration or spirit work. The trees and old gravestones create a serene atmosphere, making it ideal for meditation or quiet magical practice.
Although located right on the border of Bloomsbury, another of my favouirte bookstores Treadwell’s Books deserves a mention for anyone on a spiritual path. Known for its excellent collection of books on magic, paganism, and the occult, Treadwell’s also hosts lectures, workshops, and ritual evenings, making it a central hub for witches and spiritual seekers in London. Check out their events for a chance to connect with like-minded people and learn more about your craft.
You can also become a member and get exclusive contents and discounts, which I am very tempted to do myself very sooon!
7. The Wellcome Collection
183 Euston Road
While technically just outside Bloomsbury’s traditional boundary, the Wellcome Collection is close enough to include for those interested in the intersection of spirituality, magic, and healing. The museum’s exhibits often explore esoteric and alternative healing practices, including alchemy, spiritual healing, and the relationship between mind, body, and spirit. It’s a fascinating place for those looking to delve into the mysteries of magical healing traditions and their modern-day interpretations.
Me at the Kimpton!
8. The Kimpton Fitzroy London
1-8 Russell Square
As a bougie queen who loves a bit of luxury and history combined we certainly need to be staying over in style, we deserve it after all! One of Bloomsbury’s most elegant landmarks, the Kimpton Fitzroy London is a stunning hotel that blends history and glamour, and it’s also a place of esoteric wonder. Built in 1898, this terracotta masterpiece welcomes you with four British queens guarding its entrance. Inside, you’ll find a magnificent Zodiac mosaic at your feet in the hotel’s lobby—a nod to the mystical influence of astrology. The ornate design invites guests to connect with their astrological sign and the wider cosmos, making it an enchanting experience for any spiritual traveler…and if you want, you can even book a tarot reading whilst there!
Throughout the hotel, modern comforts merge with historic details, creating an atmosphere rich in energy and history. Whether you stay for a night or just stop by to admire the lobby’s Zodiac mosaic, the Kimpton Fitzroy is a must-visit for those who feel connected to celestial magic and symbolism. I highly recommend staying for a drink and a bite to eat as their food is some of the best I’ve had in London.
Bloomsbury is a neighbourhood full of quiet magic, intellectual energy, and spiritual history. Whether you’re meditating in a hidden garden, seeking inspiration at an occult bookshop, or contemplating ancient spells at the British Museum, there’s something for every witch or spiritual seeker in this historic part of London. So, grab your broomstick (or simply your journal and tarot deck) and explore Bloomsbury’s hidden spiritual treasures.
