It’s crazy to me to think that we are in such survival mode with finances that ‘side hustles’ are a regular thing now. Don’t get me wrong, I hate hustle culture. I believe we all should be pursuing our passions but not to the level of toxic self-destruction.
So why the side hustle? Because we all need money, and witchy side hustles can oftentimes manifest into lucrative careers. Nothing makes me happier than a witch living their best life making a career out of doing what they were born to do.

Read tarot -This one is by far the one I see the most often, and that’s not a bad thing. I have my go-to favorite tarot readers for different things because I feel like tarot readers are not all built the same. Some styles of reading work better for life paths and some for career choices. Nothing is better than an abundance of tarot readers. Plus you can create a large audience by using Instagram or TikTok and this one requires almost no start-up money.
Spell services - I’m not always a fan of selling witchy services because some people seem kind of shady or are in it just to make money and not really having any background in witchcraft or occultism BUT I put it on here. If you genuinely care about your clientele and want to spread the magic by offering great spell casting services, then this might be the side hustle for you.
Etsy shop - I am not remarkable at selling on Etsy and have never really had a tremendous amount of luck with that site, but that’s not to say you won’t. I’m also an avid Etsy shopper and have found loads of witchy shops selling everything from blended oils to fixed candles on the platform.
Blog- Then there’s the blog. This is the space where I find the most success, but what I often don’t find are a lot of other witchy blogs. Sure, there’s a bunch out there, but it doesn’t seem as over-saturated as say a cooking or your basic mom blog. Although I don’t, you can make money off of advertising and other ad revenues.
Write books - If you have a knack for writing, try penning your own book. You can go the traditional route of seeking out a publishing agent, but honestly, self-publishing is so huge right now. So many books with so much great content, definitely worth taking a look at. Who knows you could be the next big thing in witch books.
Teach classes - Is there a local witch shop nearby? Have you thought about hosting classes or teaching workshops on various witchy subjects? In my experience I have found so many people interested in learning more about the craft, it could be a noteworthy start to a rewarding career.
Create lifestyle goods - Lifestyle goods to me are things like shirts, stuff for your house, coffee mugs. Printify and Printful are two websites to get things rolling in the merchandise world.
Cottage food - Cottage food to me are things like jellies, jams and preserves. Think kitchen witch vibes. If you’re already a gourmet cook with a penchant for magic, this could be the space for you.
“Don’t touch that please, it’s charging”- regarding crystals etc perched on numerous windowsills
“I made this spell jar for you” x100
Crystals being stored in their pockets/bra/bags
Them doodling sigils on your class work etc.
Annointing you and your things with various oils
Them muttering intentions all day long as they do mundane things
Candles, s o m a n y candles
“Do you wanna come with me to leave this offering for the fae?”
“I love you but we can’t go out tonight it’s a full moon and I need to recharge like everything”
The usual breakfast question of: “Can I have your eggshells?”
“What do you want for yoru birthday?” “Plants and/or crystals.”
Banging of pots and pans and burning of cleansing herbs as they shriek at a stubborn spirit
Way too many books on the craft
Something is always burning
“N o don’t blow it out! the disrespect. use this.”
You: *picks up penny you found*
Them: *smacks it out of your hand* “don’t accept gifts from the fae!”
Having to listen to constant praise and admiration of the moon
Art does not belong to me!!!
If you’re in the broom closet and/or can’t afford crystals, books, or other tools of the craft, your practice is still valid and you’re still a witch! ♥️♥️♥️
My business has picked up so much over these last 2 months that I haven’t had any free time to practice my craft. So I’ve been doing small spells here and there to keep from getting rusty.
I enchant my morning coffee with positive energy (and throw a little bit of almond milk in it sometimes as a money boost seeing as my only source of income right now is my Etsy shop).
But I haven’t celebrated any sabbats and I’ve completely neglected my altar. So I’m finishing up a few more custom orders that I have, hopefully I’ll be finished by Wednesday, then I’m spending the rest of the week cleaning up and organizing my altar as well as preparing for the next dark moon.
