My daughter, who is pagan and has ADHD, veils because it keeps her from being over stimulated. The pressure from the veil can keep her from having panic attacks when she's around too many people.

I veil (close to full hair covering) full time for 3 basic reasons: - I follow Hestia and feel called to veil as a devotional practice - I'm autistic and find it comforting and safe and empowering - It acts as a daily reminder to practice the ideologies I hold close (these also link to Hestia). Homekeeping, hospitality, lifting up and empowering others, political involvement, sustainabilty.

@love4gospel 2 года назад

As an ex Muslim, with all due respect to muslim women who veil themselves, (including my own family members), nuns do it because they choose to become nuns, on the other hand, Muslim women don't choose to be born as a woman.. So this example doesn't really look like it holds the weight for the argument.

Dude a few months ago I saw nuns (didn't know they still existed) with the full habit and I was shocked like they were just chillin on the starbucks patio. It was the first time I've ever seen real nuns irl.

@rokelle_2012 2 года назад

@@love4gospel I think in this case the example is more for those who are Christian/Catholic or ex-Christian/Catholic not looking down on someone from that religion for donning a covering, but looking down on someone from another religion for doing something very similar. It is also not necessarily referring to JUST Muslim women, but anyone who wishes to veil, regardless of religious or spiritual beliefs.

@mckaylayates676 2 года назад

Just to add another perspective of the “why” behind oppression being linked with veiling. As a daughter who was forced; and I don’t say that lightly; to veil , and was taught that it was a sign of my submission to my father and brothers it was and still is hard for me to not see it as such. It takes growth and healing to overcome that view and not everyone has come to the place were they feel comfortable with veiling. So so appreciate this video and your Chanel!

@namedrop721 2 года назад

My Muslim friend grew up unveiled to about late teens-she was given a ‘choice’ to not veil. Devout girl, smart mind. Then she really wanted to attend higher education and her family made it clear that they would trade permission to leave their supervision with strict veiling and other restrictions. I have countless stories and they all involve control. It echoes my own upbringing where dressing modestly didn’t stop me being raped but it did show ‘respect ‘ or whatever for my male family and male sky daddy. I have since left that objectification.

@homosexualitymydearwatson4109 2 года назад

I’ve heard that it is haram to force a woman to veil, not that it can matter to some parents. I know at least from a former Christian perspective a lot of things that aren’t necessarily against the Bible can be enforced upon undeserving Christian kids.

I’m not from a country that practice veiling (very few). I remember a lady wearing a hijab (I believe it was) came in the store I worked. I was busy with a next customer but I heard my coworkers talking. They refused to help “a bomber”. I knew nothing of Muslims, Islam or anywhere outside western culture for that matter but I knew wrong from right. I had to hurry with my customer and go help the lady. At the time I was still very new to the world because of an overprotected childhood. Since then I have tried to learn all I can about what I don’t know before I judge. While I still judge people in my mind, I ensure to think before I speak. While I had always been a spiritual and “weird” person. I believe opening myself up to learn about other religions and opinions, made me the witch I am today. Still learning but I am the best me that has ever lived and I will be better tomorrow.

@definitelyslytherin 2 года назад

I definitely want to start veiling. For witches in the medical field, definitely consider using your scrub cap as a veil. The amount of energy that is involved in the medical field (including dentistry) is ridiculous and super draining I find. So most of the tips for veiling works and I highly recommend. Using a scrubs cap, depending on the office, can sometimes require it anyways so it helps to have it apart of your routine.

@Rahqui Год назад

How did I not think of that before? My hair goes all the way down to my bum and it feels like things get stuck to it after a few day at work even when braided. Pinning it up helps somewhat but ICU is a sticky draining place. Thank you for tipping my nose into that tidbit of information.

@emi.wemi. Год назад

I’m still a baby witch, and a ‘baby’ pagan. I veil to protect myself and my own energy from others’, especially if I’m helping a friend go through something, or letting someone rant to me. I also veil to feel safe. I’ve always liked things over or in my ears (earbuds, scarfs etc) as I get very scared from loud noises, ever since I was a little girl. So it’s very handy that by veiling I’m also providing myself with a covering to make me feel safe!

@Aima952 2 года назад

I've never considered myself to veil but I wear a lot of pashminas, scarfs and bandanas because I totally understand the 'I get to walk around wrapped in a comfy blanket' effect - when I was starting a new job and grieving for my mother at the same time it felt really good to wear her protection into new social situations. I also enjoy walking in cold weather and the warmth from a headscarf/balaclava can't be underestimated.

@squidiki 2 года назад

Hello! I come from a muslim background. I always think it's so funny how nonmuslims pronounce Islam and hijab. The reasonings behind wearing a hijab are kinda the same actually. Protection from evil eye, modesty, carrying your home with you. It's personal for every hijabi, and reasons with vary. For me as a genderfluid pagan, I don't wear my hijab unless I feel like it. I care more about showing my shoulders than about showing my hair. However, when I do wear my hijab I feel comfort in the phrase "Cast your eyes down." Because how dare you even look at a veiled person.

I started veileing like a year ago, without knowing, that I was veiling and what that is. Then I saw one of your TikTok´s where you spoke about it and than I realised that I was wearing my cap in public, because it made me comfortable and let me feel safe. Now I´m wearing it, when I leave the house to protect myself and just let me feel safe and somehow I´m more confident, then I was before veiling. Most of the people just accepted the fact that I was always wearing something on my head and just some of my friends and my family asked me, why I was doing that and they were so interested in it, which made me very happy. I just wanted to share this here. PS: I´m not a native speaker, so please don´t get mad at me, when I wrote something wrong. I tried my best. ;)

Also, quick note: any type of sage can be used not only for "bleaching" but as a ward against evil. So, if you have some sort of sage spray/perfume from any type of sage, it can be used in tandem with veiling for extra protection against the evil eye. Florida water is also a protective tonic and easy to find depending on your location.

Thank you for this, I’ve seen veiling being mentioned before but not in such an in depth way. As a Greek, we often wore different headscarves for special events, funerals, performances. It was also used to signal different stages of a persons life, for example widows wear a black headscarf signaling their grief, and status as widow, usually wearing black for the rest of their life. Different colors and embellishments have different levels of meaning. I think it’s so interesting that almost every culture has a version of the headscarf.

Hinduism utilizes veiling. If they are part of a saree it is called a "pallu", which is very similar looking to the ancient Roman palla.

The pallu is more of a scarf than a veil. Some Hindus actually did veil, but it was in places that were heavily patriarchal and where women were not allowed to be seen in public and were kept in 'purdah', or literally, behind curtains and veils. As the status of women has progressed, the practice of purdah has dropped away.

I veiled my head two years straight outside the home. I stopped because I realized how high my anxiety (and panic) was rising if I didnt have any veil - I'd become way too attached/dependent. Now though, I'm ready to put one back on. I looked at my husband one day, nearly in tears, and said "I miss my veils", because I was picking up so much external energy. I'm going to be making new ones. The only time my arms and legs are not covered is when it's literally too hot to safely wear anything but shorts (to my knees) and a t-shirt. I do wear t-shirts regularly, but I'm not comfortable unless my shoulders are covered. Types of veils are up to each person. I jump between tichel, bananas and shayla.

This video made me remember that when I was a child I wore a bandana everyday to school and felt uncomfortable without it. Definitely something I’m going to revisit!! I love your channel and your energy ❤

@jamisedenari2449 2 года назад

This is awesome. I've been veiling since 2017 in my spiritual practice and it helps me a lot. Keep doing you!

@sararubicubi 2 года назад

Just yesterday I was watching your TikTok playlist on veiling lol I've been thinking about veiling lately. Not only for spiritual purposes but because it's a tradition that used to exist in my country (Spain) and it's slowly disappearing so I feel like it could connect me with my ancestors in a way

@joannajett2524 2 года назад

Tradition is also one of the reasons I veil, but I do see it as spiritual because ancestor worship is a part of my practice.

Me randomly starting to wear smth like a veil to "keep the hair out of my face" and then learning about veiling and doing it basically everyday to feel somehow more protected🤭 Edit: I kinda freaked out when you mentioned Freya and that you did this for her because (I think) she is my patron(i need to work more to develop the energy to have constant contact with her) or at least a deity that has been with me for some time now without me even knowing about deities(she might have been with me my entire life but I can remember about signs from her from only 8 months ago, before that i have no idea) and a part of me feels that i did veil myself so random because of her. Maybe i am overthinking but=))) Thank you for the videooo

@melissaribaudo7963 2 года назад

I really enjoyed your video, learning about the history of other religions and cultures. I have occasionally worn scarfs on my head bc I was drawn to. I am going to lean into that feeling when it comes up and be more international about veiling. Your veils are beautiful. Thank you!

@evelynatcraneshearth 2 года назад

*glances at hat and scarf collection when the grounding reason comes up* That explains a few things. I'd been curious when you had started veilling. Thanks for the video.

@nihalsturm2008 2 года назад

I just got to know you a few days ago in Olivias video actually and just kinda followed you... Now this is the first video I watched from you and I identify with this soo much. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this video!! It is the story I didn't knew I needed. I like veiling too, and I usually do it when at home or walking with my dog. I would love to start veiling in school as well, but sometimes when I tried I got a lot of weird looks. I guess I'll just start out with bandanas again, no one ever complained when I wore those. I really just feel a sense of security when I veil, plus just feeling beautiful and that I take care of myself. I found a lot of understanding in this video, I got to understand a part of myself. Thank you very much- I am still a babywitch in the closet, and I really needed to hear this.❤❤

@lizjacobs2545 2 года назад

Thank you so much for this!! I was thinking of veiling, and had done it a few times and felt really good, but this video really helped me get some more background information and made me feel a lot better about it / more secure!

@carliemichelle3110 Год назад

You explained this so beautifully! I saved it to my favorites. Even though I’ve been a witch for 25 years now, I love learning and educating myself all the time and have gained so much for your channel. 😊

@Grace-kq6vj Год назад

I wore a black lace veil to work one day and my boss asked me who I was mourning and I just responded with "well its actually to keep your negativity from affecting me" that shut her up pretty quick lol and it worked

@GuyG.KTalesOfAnimals 2 года назад

Veils are so versatile, some people use a head veil, did you know some kindergarten teachers use aprons to veil themselves while working with children all day long? Veils are dope.

@lysemarjorie2960 Месяц назад

This is my comfort video thank you for talking about this; it makes me feel seen loved and accepted for my veiling practice

@saffron1996 Год назад

i have ASD and veiling (along with some earplugs) makes me feel ok enough to get out of the house without getting a meltdown or panick attack... and if its still too much, some dark sunglasses can be a big difference :) love your channel, its nice to see other italian witches! im sicilian, and i remember my family doing lots of witchy things as a kid, one of the first ones i remember was my uncle using a rosary as a pendulum to predict the sex of my unborn cousin :p sending love 💚🤍❤️

@valhalla.meadows Год назад

This absolutely helped me. I have been going back and forth between veiling and not. This really hit all the reasons I was WANTING to. Thank you for this!

@beckiejani7782 5 месяцев назад

Wow!!!! Such synchronicity! Just searched veiling and never thought the first video up was Wiccan!!!! But wait, there's more! Next thing up was a ton of comments from neurodivergent people and migraine sufferers. One daughter is neurodivergent, the other is troubled by headaches! Thank you, everyone!

I recently felt like I needed to start veiling and have started doing research on it. This video really helped. Thank you. I notice when I do I feel a lot safer and calmer and protected.

@rachelsheffler3947 2 года назад

This is a really great topic, thank you so much for doing the video. I feel drawn to veiling but sometimes I feel like they just don't look right on me. I suppose that's me needing to connect more with personal power, which the veiling would help with ... food for thought - again, thank you!

@glitter_tits069 Год назад

i was thinking about starting veiling earlier this week and this video helped a lot with understanding it! i feel like it would help me. the video was awesome and you gave a great explanation :)

@anfisa6215 2 года назад

You have no idea how much I am thankful to you for bringing the concept of veiling in my life. I was aware of Muslim people covering their hair and always found it beautiful. I wanted to practice that , but never could because I believed it was not sensitive of me , considering I do not share their religious belief. I could never take the practice out of the religion. As of today I’ve been veiling for 5 months with bandanas and I couldn’t be happier! I feel comfortable, collected and protected. It definitely works wonders to shield from anything. So thank you so much for being such an inspiration and life changer ❤️ p.s. The video is amaaaaazing

@M.K.B.1133 2 года назад

Beautifully done! Very interesting! I find veiling incredibly interesting . Thank you for educating such a rich, passionate ,personal tradition. You are a beautiful soul. Always Forward ( Madam Lady Kate )

@joannajett2524 2 года назад

I was really really hoping you would make a video about this. I found your channel last summer when I started veiling, one of your videos came up in the suggestions when I was watching videos on Pagan veiling. I was also discovering the Gaulish pantheon, through Goddess Sirona, and then I found out you work with Grannos ! I love synchronicities.

@caroline_1508 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing this - I always wear a scarf (even in hot months) & now it makes sense why I’m subconsciously doing this, it always felt like form of protection for me

@sschinsky9087 2 года назад

And praise the Universe for including tea, loved the expression 💛

@teresastorms3774 2 года назад

This was so interesting! I am intrigued by this practice, and I will be doing some research for myself. I'm very new to the Craft and I didn't know about this practice. Thank you for sharing! I know it's a highly personal decision. I appreciate the ladies who responded about veiling in other religions and countries. I know virtually nothing about this, and I always wondered about it. Thank you all for the information! 🙏

@lunatea3882 2 года назад

You are correct in whatever you choose, my friend. We all veil or not veil according to our own practice or religious beliefs. Also this can apply to anything we deem important to our own needs. Thanks for the info. All people should not judge another person for reasons behind why they choose to veil, or not to veil. Good stuff! Keep it up! 💯

@Xaforn 2 года назад

I’ve done a lot of reading and even have quite a bit of experience veiling over the years and I do find comfort in it and found it fascinating how many witches/pagans veiled/dressed modestly and many people believe they’re Christians. So much history and details people just never bother to uncover. One of my favorite places to buy veils/scarves (besides second hand and such) is Wrapunzel, they’re selection is mind blowing and always growing. They have no slip headbands which you could easily embroidery sigils in.

@Ellempeh Год назад

Thank you for making this video! I have been interested in veils for so long, but didn’t really know how to start looking into actually doing it (besides researching them on the internet) What I have found super fascinating, is that veiling has been practiced in so so many cultures over the history of humankind. Unfortunately, as you mentioned at the beginning of your video, nowadays it is often seen as something women are forced to do to oppress them. That being said, such cases still happen and I don’t want to invalidate anyone who might have had bad experiences with veiling. Veiling is such a beautiful tradition/practice and I love all the different reasons you listed why people do it. My grandma still wears head coverings outside, because it was very common when she was young and to protect herself against wind and weather (and the sun in summer).

Really liked this vid. As an older dude (80ish) it made me aware of my own "preconceptions" (a nice word for prejudice). Was good for me. Then spent an hour reading all the comments. Love and light to all you witches. Franki i saw you the other day with olivia so, decided to check out your site. Sat in bed till midnight laughing myself silly with your witchtok capers. Great stuff

@thedaybydaypagan6942 2 года назад

Thanks so much for making this video! I actually was so excited when I saw that you had posted this (and it had coincided with a discussion I was having with friends about veiling) that I made a video response (a pre-sponse?) about why I veil as a nonbinary pagan.

I really enjoyed this video. When I am in ceremony I will wear my shawl over my head. I never knew why but it was just instinctive. Now I know. I am an empath and when I'm in ceremony I pick up everyone's energies. Thank you for putting out this video. I plan on veiling myself more often. 💗💗🙌🙌

@butterflymagicwithhottea9291 2 года назад

This was lovely and well done! Veiling is def something that needs more attention.

@gabic3781 Год назад

Veiling is something I started to do only recently, mostly because of work! I am working as a therapist, so my veils help me to protect myself from the emotions and negative energy from my patients, as well as helping me to focus more and feel less tired during the week. Also, wearing bandanas and such is quite common for short-haired femme people on my country, so no one questions it! I never wore veils during rituals or at home, but maybe I'll give it a try. Lovely video and very informative!

@alejandraponce6214 2 года назад

I loved that. We should all do more things just cause it makes us happy. I also think you look beautiful with your veils. 💕

@anxietyhamster6673 2 года назад

I just realized that I feel so much better when I'm wearing my bonnet inside. I started wearing them to keep my hair from getting greasy and oily so fast. Then I realized I kept wearing them even when my hair was already greazy and oily. I didn't even realize I was still doing that. I started veiling during readings because someone mentioned it was a good idea to protect from what might be coming from behind you. It seems so logical to me so I started wrapping my hair in a scarf during readings and using my bonnets during readings. I immediately got better results. Veiling is not talked about enough in witchcraft circles. It's not for everyone but I think for some people it is for them and people are not getting the information.

I am dabbling a bit in Paganism, and as someone who has adult diagnosed ASD, I have sensory issues. I feel most comfortable out in public when I'm wearing a beanie and/or a hoodie. For me, it is mental, physical, and now a spiritual comfort. Now I understand a bit more about it thanks to this video.

@ris8065 2 года назад

I love that you mentioned how the himation was a way of carrying the home with you. It’s why so many devotees of Hestia wore (and still wear) them. A way of carrying that protection and devotion with them in a visible way.

@younce-davis952 2 года назад

This makes me want to make a "home" sigil and write it into my veil.

Heddo 💓 Frankie I’m a witch Ben practicing witchcraft for a long time and I just wanted to say when I sometimes get home I veil because of grounding and helping me calm down and help myself but I love you videos . I’d love to learn more from your personal views and also I’d love to learn more on Italian witchcraft as a Italian American I’d love to learn more thank you for the video ❤

@tarotwithshabanu754 2 года назад

Thank you so much.. i was hoping you would do a video on veiling and here it is. Is it possible to do a video and show how you do some of the veils?

@darrenalmgren634 2 года назад

I love this :) thanks for all the info and it was fascinating to hear about everything. I have an interest in veiling as a hellenic pagan. BUT as a dude, there aren’t a lot of resources and examples of male styles of veiling. But some of the reasons you have resonated with me as to why I wear baseball hats and beanies basically every day (unless it’s a special event or I just got a haircut). So thanks to your channel and the others around it, I’m getting more into more practice ideas and I’m starting to devise my own ways of veiling when I feel the need to specify covering my head. Thanks! Stay safe

@wandah9468 2 года назад

Your best examples for proper gentlemen like headwear is still the Arab world. Islam forbids "crossdressing", so there are definite manly options for "good hijab". Dubai is still the fashion center for really nice islamic, modest dress for men and women.
