Episode 195: The Broom Closet Witch: Secrecy, Safety & Strategic Silence
Boo, Bitches! 🧹✨
This week on C3: Crystals, Cauldrons & Cocktails, we’re talking about something a lot of witches experience—but almost nobody talks about honestly: life in the broom closet.
If you practice quietly…
hide your altar…
code-switch your language…
or have ever said “I just like candles,”
Congratulations—you’re not alone. You’re historically accurate.
In this episode, River Kane dives into:
- What the broom closet actually is (and why it exists)
- Why so many witches still choose secrecy—especially right now
- The pressure to “come out” in modern witch spaces
- When it might be safe to step out… and when it absolutely isn’t
- How to come out without detonating your life
- What to do if coming out goes badly (yes, you can put the genie back)
- Why staying quiet can be a powerful, strategic, and deeply witchy choice
This isn’t a pressure episode.
It’s a permission episode.
Whether you’re deep in the broom closet, cracking the door, or dancing wildly outside with a besom and zero fear—your magic counts, your pace is correct, and your safety matters.
Quiet witches are still witches.
And some of the strongest magic in the world is done quietly.
Until then, Stay Witchy!!
