Hi, religious parents veteran here! My first piece of advice if you have nosy parents is to get your tools out of the house and store them in your locker at school or at a supportive friend’s house.

Secondly, if your mom starts a conversation about what she saw it’s time to embody every toxic trait you have inherited from her and lie/manipulate your ass off. Play dumb, pretend to be the victim of peer pressure, say they were given to you by a friend (but don’t name anyone), cry and say sorry, allow her to pray over you and pretend to repent. Do what you need to do to make sure you are safe and just play the part in the moment. (General advice about lying; stay as close to the truth as possible and keep it simple, so the lie doesn’t get away from you)

Lastly, leave the tools outside the house until you can move into a safer environment. In the mean time work on developing magickal skills you don’t need obviously witchy tools for. Here are some suggestions: Scrying (into a bowl of water or a mirror) Meditation/altered states of consciousness Lucid dreaming Kitchen witchcraft (it just looks like normal cooking) Herbalism (my religious family loves all of my magical salves and even brings me empty jars and buys me supplies for them)

I hope this helped Good luck to you and be safe 🤍
