The Art of Secret Witchcraft: Anonymity
This is the second in a series of articles describing ways to keep one’s magical or spiritual practices private. The first installment can be found here.
When we are planning to create a practice which is completely kept private from the people in our lives, we have to begin by considering how we will create and protect our anonymity. The most significant place where we will need to be proactive about our privacy is the internet. That’s where we can reach out to, and be seen by, people around the world. That’s also where, if we are not careful, we might leave behind more than enough traces of our activity for others to identify what we are doing, what we’re reading and posting, and how we are spending our time.
Fortunately, there are various online tools that will enable us to establish a magical persona that is entirely unconnected from the person who we are in the non-magical parts of our lives. Many of these tools can be accessed for free. This is an important factor for anyone who has to answer to a parent or partner for every expenditure. People who have the ability to spend money without being questioned will also be able to benefit from these tools, and will also have the ability to access options that involve a paid subscription.
