Witchy decor ideas can be a fun and unique way to add a touch of mysticism and charm to your home. Whether you identify as a witch or simply appreciate the aesthetic, incorporating elements of witchcraft into your decor can create a captivating and enchanting atmosphere. One popular witchy decor idea is to incorporate natural elements into your space. This can include displaying an assortment of dried herbs, plants, and flowers that are associated with witchcraft, such as lavender, sage, and rosemary. Uniquely shaped branches, crystals, and stones can also add a mystical touch to your decor. Candles are another essential element in witchy decor.
Cute concept but dangerous Heather Base is not weighed enough. My 5yo was swiveling in the chair and it flipped over and smacked him in the mouth and he broke his front tooth. 1
The grandkids loved them ages 4 6 but immediately started spinning themselves and friends around in it - certainly not what I intended and I fear they ll break them soon. It can be made from a variety of materials, nylon spun chairs, outdoor spun chair, and chair spun are a lightweight, durable material, and is environmentally friendly.
Candles are another essential element in witchy decor. Candles can be used for meditation, spellwork, or simply for setting a cozy and magical ambiance. Opt for candles in dark and rich colors, such as deep purple or black, and consider using candleholders in intricate or witchy designs.
Fiber Arts with Magic
Fiber arts have been a part of human society for eons and lore tells us that it has been used in the magical arts all along. There is a rich and deep history to the fiber arts, with as many uses and spiritual practices as there are facets to a diamond. Your mind and imagination are the key to unlocking your journey with the fiber arts and magical arts.
I got involved with fiber arts and magic virtually at the same time in my life. Seems the two just went hand in hand. Some of the same people who introduced me to the Craft also introduced me to the fiber arts. As my work with fiber arts grew so did my work with magical arts; and later, Reiki was added into my spinning, knitting and weaving. I tend to spin more than knit or weave, so for the purpose of this article, I’ll refer to my collective work as spinning.
Like many fiber arts folks, I have several projects started and stashed all over the living room and den. (I compromised with my husband on not using any other areas in the house for my stashes.) Each project will get completed one day, they will! It’s just that when my guides “call ” me to create something for someone, or myself, I stop what I’m working on and work on the guided project until it’s finished.
My process is not one you would normally find in a “how to” book or video about spinning. I was taught a few basic steps and have let my guides teach me from there. I am eclectic in my fiber arts. On occasion I’m guided to a YouTube video about how to make a certain stitch or spin and I get a spinning magazine for inspiration and tips. But nothing beats a good old trance and spin!
As magical people we understand that there’s energy in all things. My spinning wheels and drop spindles, wood knitting needles and looms all have their own energy. The spinning wheels/drop spindles were all hand-made. They all have a “personality” and I have bonded with each. There’s a spirit relationship with each one that’s unique and fun.
Finding wool, shopping for wool, getting wool as a gift is a magical experience to me. I love feeling the different textures of the different breeds of sheep. When you open your senses you can pick up the energy of the animal. Llama and alpaca are sweet to work with.

There is also the non-animal “wool” I work with. Linen and hemp, while a bit harder to spin, are sturdy and make beautiful items. Spinning cotton has been a challenge for me, but rewarding when I finish. I sometimes mix the cotton with other fibers, it makes a beautiful accent to the yarn.
I have been fortunate enough to spin wolf fur. There’s a tiny bit left, and it’s used sparingly. I usually mix it with other wools due to a shorter staple (the length of the fur or wool). I like spinning it into yarn that turns into meditation shawls and magical bags. Many dog and cat breeds have fur with a long enough staple to either be mixed with wool or spun on its own. Our familiar was a Maine Coon and had long hair. I was able to spin his fur without any other type of wool being mixed in. For years, every item I made had a bit of him in it.
One of my first fiber arts teachers instructed my class to “let your animals play with your fiber arts”. The energy that our furry family members add to our arts, fiber and magical, is unlike any other and I am so grateful I listened to that bit of instruction. Our familiar bonded with both of my spinning wheels. He would sleep with them, play with the tassels on the treadles and he was so gentle and sweet with them. At his passing, one of my wheels mourned so deeply, I couldn’t spin with her for months. The relationship with my fiber arts tools started with meditating with them, doing Reiki with them and allowing energy to flow between each particular fiber tool and myself. It’s a second nature now, effortless to “pick up” what I’m being guided to.
When I get new wool I always bless it, cleanse it and charge with energy and Reiki. Then I put it in the “stash” of wool and when it’s ready it lets me know, “time to spin!”
Like any magical ritual, if you have the luxury of time and space, setting up a circle is a great way to start your time of fiber arts. Purifying your space, wool, spinning wheel, chair and anything else you think would be used. Scent your space to with a scent that is relaxing for you. I turn on the “spiritual” music, ground and center and find my link to the wheel I’m working with. Usually the wheel will lead me to the wool that is to be spun and we try a few styles of twist. It is normal for me to have no clue what the yarn will become. I am to spin, watch the beauty of the yarn being spun, and create.
Once I’ve set the space and have tuned into my link with the tools, it’s time to start.
Now there are three: spinning wheel, wool and me. The three of us work together to determine what the yarn will look like, whether it will be thick or thin, specialty or regular yarn, or a mix. Often I will call on a deity to help guide and bless as the yarn is created, or as I spin I meditate on a special goal that is inspired.
It’s easy to find a Goddess of spinning that you can work with, simply Google “Goddess of Spinning” and you can get lost in the choices. I will also call on God/Goddess’s of my ancestry or the healing deities I work with. It all depends on the energy and feeling I’m getting from the wool and/or wheel.

Once spun, the yarn can decorate our home for years before becoming something. It’s strange, I love spinning because I get the instant gratification of seeing my yarn as I make it, but it’s possible that it won’t be “finished” for years.
There are so many choices and ways to use magic and fiber arts. I love creating meditation/Reiki shawls and magical tool bags. One of my favorites is to make small bags and put mesh bags of lavender in them.
If you have the luxury of time, spin colors with their magical properties, and/or the phase of the moon, day of the week and even to the hour of day to aid in your magical working. If I were spinning a yarn for a love spell, I would spin soft lush tones, on Friday nights, during the waxing to full moon. For practicality though, I spin when I spin. I do try taking as much opportunity as I can for special events such as a Blue Moon, Super Moon or what I can manage to find the time to spin during.
Often my inspiration to make something for someone will “knock me in the head” as I’m talking to them in person. I get so excited; it’s hard not to tell them right away what I’m going to make for them.
My preference is to knit with magical numbers more than patterns found in books/magazines and the web. I like using 3 most. When I knit with 3’s it’s usually a type of ribbing or drop stitch; it is a representation of Maiden, Mother, Crone or Birth, Death, Rebirth.
Fiber arts are a part of my spiritual path. It’s more than a hobby for me. I don’t take requests or commissions. I gift my art work as I’m guided to.
As I mentioned before, the same people who introduced me to magic introduced me to fiber arts. Some introduced, some showed me how, some inspired and influenced. They know who they are and I am so very grateful for them.

Another way to incorporate witchy decor is through the use of symbols and imagery associated with witchcraft. Displaying pentagrams, moons, and other esoteric symbols can add an enchanting touch to your space. These symbols can be incorporated into artwork, textiles, or even as standalone decorations. Witches are often associated with the night and the moon, so incorporating celestial themes into your decor can create a magical vibe. Hang moon phase wall art or display celestial-themed tapestries to bring the night sky indoors. Adding twinkling fairy lights or lanterns can further enhance the mystical atmosphere. Lastly, don't forget to bring in elements of personal spirituality and intention. Create an altar or sacred space where you can display meaningful items, such as tarot cards, crystals, or ritual tools. This space can serve as a focal point and reminder of your spiritual practice. Incorporating witchy decor ideas into your home allows you to create a space that reflects your individuality and connection to nature and spirituality. Whether you choose to go all out with spellbooks and cauldrons or prefer a subtler approach, the world of witchy decor offers an exciting and enchanting way to infuse magic into your living space..
Reviews for "Mysterious Mirrors: How to Use Mirror Magic in Your Witchy Decor"
1. Grace - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with "Witchy decor ideas". The ideas presented were either too basic or too over the top for my taste. I was expecting to see some unique and creative ideas for adding a witchy touch to my home, but instead, everything felt cliché and uninspired. The book also lacked clear instructions and detailed explanations, making it difficult to implement any of the ideas. Overall, I found it to be a waste of money and time.
2. Sam - 1 star
Honestly, "Witchy decor ideas" was a complete letdown. The content seemed to be more focused on selling certain products rather than providing helpful ideas. The book felt more like a marketing ploy than a genuine guide. Additionally, the book lacked variety in terms of decor styles, as it only focused on a narrow interpretation of witchy decor. I was hoping for a more inclusive and diverse range of ideas, but was sorely disappointed. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for truly unique and inspiring witchy decor.
3. Emily - 3 stars
While "Witchy decor ideas" had some interesting concepts, I found it to be lacking in practicality. Many of the ideas presented were either too difficult to recreate or required expensive and hard-to-find materials. It would have been helpful if the book included affordable and accessible alternatives for those on a budget or unable to source specific items. The lack of clear step-by-step instructions also made it difficult for me to follow along. Overall, I think the book had potential, but it fell short in execution.
4. Jacob - 2 stars
"Witchy decor ideas" seemed promising at first, but it turned out to be quite underwhelming. The book mostly focused on surface-level aesthetics, without delving into the deeper meanings and symbolism behind witchy decor. I was hoping for a more insightful exploration of the subject, but instead, it felt like a superficial collection of trendy decor ideas. The lack of substance was disappointing, and I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for a deeper understanding of witchy decor.
