Spiritual Veiling
Veiling, head covering, or hijab, whatever you wanna call it, is a spiritual and cultural practice that is found within nearly all world religions and cultures. Literally, like even the white people have done it without appropriating. This type of spiritual head covering, whether partially or fully, depends on the faiths. This is what we're mostly going to talk about in this post. Most people have different reasons for choosing to wear a head veil. Maybe to show respect to a deity or deities, to respect oneself, or respect the human body (modesty). Some cover their heads for spiritual protection (this is mention in the Christian Bible with other "witchy" things people overlook, like altars!), to show respect when praying to one's deity or their God, simple modesty, or even just cultural pride and personal fashion. Even (Christian) white cultures have a history of head covering.
Think of Catholics, western wedding veils, Quakers, Amish, and so on. Some were for religious reasons or simply for modesty.
