Tips & Tricks to Survive the Broom Closet: Those who hide their true magickal identities from friends & family are known as dwellers in "the broom closet". Many who work with magick and witchcraft feel the need to constantly hide their practices, often keeping this way of life a precious secret for many years - even a whole lifetime. While it's always better to be out of the closet, for those who can't find a way out this is the Book of Shadows you need. This is my personal book of shadows, which means it starts with the very basic information for beginners, all the way up to the lesser known, more complex practices that I know about. In it, I provide links to useful articles and websites so you can conduct more in-depth research of your own. Along the way I also provide some helpful information on surviving and thriving in the broom closet. I hope it can be of use to you. Blessed be.
