Headscarves have been worn for a variety of reasons in the past- part of religion, spirituality, culture and fashion. We see them being used in a variety of traditions of magic too- used as protection, a devotional tool or an act of devotion, a magical tool, a divination or trance tool. They’re used as a form of practicality, keeping ones head shaded, cool and hair swept back while gathering herbs by the wayside.  They’re used as a step into devotion, where the headscarf is in sacred colours, anointed with oils and perfume aligned with their chosen path. They’re seen as warding tools, protection veils- blessed with protection charms and secured around the head to stop spirits causing mischief. They’re used when entering trance, with either the scarf consecrated for trance, or the scarf is only removed in the ritual room for trance- capturing the incense smoke and engaging in the dance of the spirits. They’re used sometimes as a veil or a blindfold to see the world beyond. No matter what your reason, we have a selection of different scarves here, silk, cotton, textured or smooth. Triangles, squares, rectangles- long, short, and even some that are big enough for a full upper body veil. (Popular for those working with Hestia)

We also use this opportunity to focus on some of the things that are important to us- we’ve got in a selection of scarves with sacred folk magic symbology, a selection that come from British designers showcasing the beautiful scenery, plants and animals of the UK and a new set of scarves that are Romani made!
