So I got this notification while I was in the shower and now I’ve been sitting in a towel in the bathroom for *quite some time* and while watching this I forgot where I was lol
Following the bath theme... I'm soaking in a defensive cleansing bathwater as I watch this magical, beautiful being... I ♥️ you, wonderful witch of wonderlust !!!
Doesn't that mean you've been dead for some time? When did you die? How? On second thought I don't want to know. It won't change anything. Happy Haunting I guess.
I came here out of curiosity to see what the young witches do this days. Everything is so cute and trendy. 35 years ago, when I started, I usually would get my supplies at the cemetery, the forest or my balcony. My scariest moment was when I got locked in a haunted house in Argentina. Times change, good for you guys.
Could we get a full story on the haunted house in Argentina? That sounds so scary but also like a unique experience that could have so much to learn from.
I think to each their own. What feels right for you is correct for you. I’ve been a chakra chi energy user and in the crystal closet for... well a long time. And anticipate being in the broom closet as well. it’s being empathic, I absorb other people’s feelings and emotions and feel that if they knew and was disapproving it might effect me. Even if they say great awesome. They may feel, Oh no I am crazy or whatever. If someone see’s a crystal on my table and ask. I’m truthful but play a little dumb. “ oh it’s cool right? I heard it’s good for _____ and I could use whatever help I can get!!” Currently my alter items are spread out on my bookshelf’s that also has inherited items, little cool things. Neat boxes. And I can set up my alter at the table, coffee table, bar cart that has plants on it or even one of my vintage TV dinner trays. Just lay the alter cloth that’s in a cleansed box where I want and go. If it’s a candle spell I’ll use the bar cart cuz it’s metal and marble. And I can walk away from it. If it’s a quick spell I’ll use the TV dinner tray Etc.
My stepdad is super Christian, and he told me I'm not allowed to partake in anything like this (my father is Pagan, so I've taken that on from him) while living in his house, or I'll go to Hell.

Palo Santo isnt as endangered as most people think. As long as you get it from a reputable supplier. It's wild crafted and harvested by one family who have actually replanted over 30,000 trees in the past 10 years. So basically, they use one and plant another. Just thought I'd put that out there.
I haven't had the chance to do the full research, but I've heard both ways. I figured if it was truly as bad as some made it sound, it wouldn't be sold everywhere at such easy access. Despite this, I'm the type that has to over research something before I take an opinion. Thanks for the info
@@TheWitchOfWonderlust perfectly understandable, especially given the UA-cam channel. You don't want to be giving out false info. Just wasn't sure if you were only getting one side of the argument, so figured I'd pipe up.
White Sage also isn't endangered. I've done a lot of research (and gotten a lot of hate from those who don't want to look into it themselves) on the subject. The whole thing started when some police misspoke during a comment to the press. The cop said it was endangered, when it never was. It is endangered in one county of California, where a couple of people went out and illegally harvested hundreds of pounds of it from the desert. They then got arrested and that's what lead to the cop misspeaking. But as a whole, it's not endangered nationally, and like Palo Santo, if you buy it from a reputable source, it's renewable. It's preferable to buy it from a Native America producer to support their business, but this whole rumor has done a lot of damage to their businesses.
@@dancooper-jones Exactly, which is why the biggest thing I push is for everyone to do their own research. I almost feel like I need to push it more. Haha
@@Wanderer_of_Sol That's one of the biggest things that I'd love to cover once I feel comfortable, is getting supplies from reliable sources. The local Native Americans who run their shops out herein LA always have the best products and are so knowledgeable in using them too. Highly preferred over anything in a chain or larger company shop.
I think my parents never needed me to come out to them as a witch because they would see my sigils and crystals everywhere and they just assumed I was into this stuff.
I've been a semi practicing Buddhist for the last few years, and have recently realized I keep leaning more towards mystical practices. Your videos have been so educational and have given me the push to learn more and make the jump towards Wicca instead since it coincides more with my beliefs. Thank you so much for the information and tools to learn!
I use chakra related beliefs in tandem with some of my witch practices. Don’t be afraid to follow your instincts and blend. It’s all about what feels good to you!
I have been practicing magic since I was 14 really, I’m now 16 learning everything from a range of sources and came out to my family who already had an inkling about it already😂 thankyou❤️
Ive been doing this since i was about 12 or 13 and im happy to have found a channel like this its opened a lot of things up for me and I feel it really educates me on more things I could do in my practice
Such a great video! Thank you so much for sharing our box and the much needed information on protection. We don't talk about this enough and it's an important part of a Witch's self care!
I love this video and her energy. No hate on this company. But yeah, for those of us witching on a budget, you can find these things in the dollar stores and in our back yards (or public park if you dont have a back yard). Cute, but not at all necessary. Bowls are bowls, water is water. Its the intent that makes it what it is and how you use it.

thank you so much for including the disclaimer on white sage and palo santo! it's super important for people to know and avoid buying them, especially from places like amazon or ebay
This topic came at an amazing time, I have (half) come out of the broom closet and my intuition has kicked in so now my energy and craft has strengthened alongside my confidence. Thankyou for more wonderful insight i truly love your aesthetic! Love and light from Australia 🐨✨
Hi!! I love your channel so much, the Six of Swords card is from the Ethereal Visions Tarot deck by Matt Hughes! And it's super crazy, I paused your video to do my daily tarot reading (I'm still learning and am trying to memorize all the cards) and I actually pulled the Six of Swords! Thank you so much for your videos, sending love and light your way🔮💕🌸
On the topic of palo santo and white sage, I've read that the palo santo that is typically found in stores comes from trees that arent included in the 250 count that labels them endangered. Palo Santo has been on the endangered list for nearly a decade (far before it ever became subject to being a fad for new age spirituality) and some have said the palo santo you may find at the typical metaphysics store come from special farms made specifically for saving the trees, not from trees in the wild. It doesn't hurt to always check where the wood is sourced if you see it at a store or online store though.
This is the box I've been holding out for! Yes! Thank you so much for sharing this with us, I needed this today. You inspire me with every video, and you've definitely made a space where I can go and ground myself. Stay amazing!
Two of my favorite witchy creators are teaming up? Yes please!! I absolutely love the women behind the Witches Box. They have a series on their UA-cam channel dedicated to book reviews that I've found super helpful, and their boxes are just AMAZING! Great video, Olivia!!
You need a full size broom to sweep out your house, idk what you'd use a tiny broom for. Take an actual broom and dip in water mixed with florida water and sweep the dirt in your house out the front door.
So 4:36 into the video and had to pause just to say that as you opened the box my heart started to pound so seriously hard as excitement filled my soul!! I am so going to get a magick box from them I immediately felt the connection of the items and you pulled them from the box!!! Thank you for sharing your videos a worker at my job saw me watching your video and stated that whatever I was watching made me look warm and fuzzy! 😊
I just signed up for the Witche's Box news letter and every month I get access to free BOS pages!!! mine is about 210 pages in my book so this is extremely helpful. aaaaaand im now unemployed and receiving disability sooooo subscribing to the box isn't in my best interest DX. but I absolutely love your videos! I have them downloaded to my tablet to watch them anytime
Crying tears of happiness for your inclusive terminology when talking about people with vaginas during the bath cleanse bit. 😭💛 Thank you for these videos, thank you for inclusivity 💛
MythicGirl2210 “smudging” is a term I think that goes specifically with sage and some people don’t use the term . But for cleansing a space you don’t need to actually light it up with physical fire 🔥 magic isn’t always what the eyes can see 🧜🏼♂️ for example visualization techniques like she mentioned ? There’s a bunch of ways , your magic YOUR RULES 🕸
I've tried burning dried rosemary bundles from my garden and they flame up super quickly and fall off everywhere and so can't be used inside because of a fire risk (I tested outside first thank goddess lol)...any tips or tricks for how to get a better burn like the premade sage bundles you can buy?
Shawna Johnson tbh I use single leaves or twigs at a time . I don’t burn the whole bundle as a thing . Tbh I don’t really do smoke cleansing these days lol I always like to light them though using a candle instead of a lighter . But you can also burn whatever it is on a charcoal disk! And have it in something ?
you can also boil bay leaves, juniper berries and sage leaves for a cleansing and protection. It's very good if you're a medium or do spirit work because it acts as a banishment. Bay leaves were used for exorcisms once so :)
I was so intrigued by the box of goodies, I subscribed for my own monthly goodies! Love watching your very interesting and informative videos! You are truly just an inspiration!
Thank you. I also love the colour of the wrapping shred paper and all the ritual cleansing products, so gorgeous and the little broom is adorable. I wish you a wonderful deep cleanse and clearance and renewed energy in your surroundings. Lovely video.
Thanks for affirming that I’m not the only one that doesn’t like lavender smell. I want the white vinegar, water and rosemary Cornwall and window washing
Wow what an amazing box, I opened a witchy subscription box on my channel not too long ago they are great for beginners like me. I loved you talking about defensive magic I have actually been doing these things not realising what I was doing so now I know I can do it with more purpose thank you I got so much from his video xx
I'm a witches box subscriber since the beginning of this year, and let me just let you, it's always an amazing surprise you will enjoy this subscription so much!!!
I am fortunate enough to have a year round creek with a deep basin which I use in my practice. Like Japanese baths, I clean the physical dirt from my body, then a spiritual cleansing in the stream. I practice skyclad, weather permitting, down by the creek so it is really convenient. I have a magick garden where I grow my herbs for my practice; after your note on white sage, I will plant some more. Bright Blessings and thank you for your contribution to the Craft.
Ohhhh boy...... I had JUST gotten supplies for defensive magic and cleansing my space before I watched this video and learned about over harvest of Palo Santo and white sage, so I'm going to make sure I keep those supplies since... I mean.... a little too late now, they've already been harvested so I may as well make them last and respect the materials by not letting it go to waste, but I'll look for alternatives that are ethically resourced in the future. I LOVE your videos, I'm just beginning to learn about witchcraft and how to really respect the practice in pursuit of being an eclectic witch (I'm also Christian so I'm trying to learn how to incorporate that into my practice as well and you mentioned that's completely possible in one of your videos too), and these videos have been such a huge help!
Now this is a interesting box. I was looking up subscription box and found the Witch's Casket from the uk, you should check it out, its pretty lovely though visual wise not my cup of tea honestly due to having more of a goth vibe. Didn't know about the white sage and palo santo herbs being over harvest, thank you for the useful information. I'll be sure to use vinegar for my cleansing and save my sage stick for special occasions
Oh my goodness! That is an awesome box! I am so grateful that you posted this! I have always thought about ordering something like that for a spiritual/metaphysical selfcare. With my life so busy I am constantly working and taking care of family, while staying on top of the standard mundane chores from about 5:00 am to 11 or midnight Monday through Friday. The weekends are when I can get a little downtime. Unfortunately when something has to take the back burner due to time constraints, it's usually time to continue my spiritual routines. Like researching the metaphysical, meditation, or spellwork, writing my grimoire etc. And trying to find the time to buy anything that I can use for these things, is definitely difficult too. Not to mention that I am really particular about all the things I buy. So unless I feel that little "tug" in my stomach or chest that lets me know that it's more than just liking something, but it is something that's needed or meant to be, I wouldn't buy it. But shopping always takes me a long time. This box is amazing. I adored everything that was in it. I have finally found one that resonates with me. Thanks for the presenting it in a relatable way, with complete honesty and sincerity! Thanks to your video I am finally ready to buy my first subscription box of any kind and what a great theme to start with! 😍 You made my day. Love your attitude! After I finish posting this, I will first like this video and subscribe to your UA-cam channel and then go sign up for this companies subscription box! - May your world be filled with blessings and light. -
Use flat needle cedar as a sustainable alternative to sage or palo santo. Many Native American tribes would often use cedar smudging in their cleansing ceremonies.
A thought on spirits and vinegar; Alcohol spirits are called spirits because alcohol is present in all plant matter, that in any plant can ferment and make alcohol. Therefore alcohol is the spirit of plants. Vinegar is made when the spirits leave the wine causing the wine to sour. 🤔
Love the Video Olivia. Been watching a lot of your older ones and watching the new ones. I love the Witches Box. I subscribe to the Book Club but have been thinking of ordering one of the monthly boxes. Those were some great items in that box and the tarot card design on your card is beautiful.
@@hazecarter1247 skulls are awesome I'm replacing every glass bottle in my house that isn't antique with skull ones at least working towards it because they are awesome
I have the strangest cup in my house. It is a heavy dark grey clay-type cup. The whole front of it is some kind of gnome's face sticking out of the cup and when you look inside there is a little creature sitting there in the bottom of the cup....like a baby troll or something. My exhusband always claimed it was bad luck. I don't know....still have it. I must have gotten it about 30 years ago.
Have you ever heard of Florida water soap? I use mine everyday and it really smells nice and cleanses well. Not sure if i’m overdoing it with using it as my daily soap, but I suggest trying it out!
Either by adding sacred herbs along with waters charged with a specific intent like moon water or sun water or a sacred oil such as infused oil or florida Water
I love the unboxings. Im always weary about buying boxes and spending money on something that could possibly be a waste...this box...worth it quality and items are on point
Grow your own! 😊 Growing your own herbs is very witchy. You'll never run out, and you know the ethics, etc. Growing any plants is a great way to connect to nature, especially if you live in an urban environment or in an area that's pretty cold in winter.
That's why I barely use Sage in my practice. It sucks all the energy, or it makes all the energy run away from Her, so I use Basil, it makes sense for me. Also instead of salt, I would use sugar in the ritual instead, partly because I use salt in like almost every meal, so I feel that it would be too much then. Great video, I really enjoy it.
when this video popped up on my recommendations, I thought it was about writing defensive magic in a story. 😂 didn't know what I would be watching, but I like your energy and it was still helpful since I needed to know a little more about magical items for my book. every nice video!👍
Hi, Olivia, many thanks to you. I love very much your videos, 'cause I can to learn more about spells. And I think you don't imagine how it is very important to me. Blessed be , dear Olivia.
This is the first video i have watched from your page and i can honestly say it was very great. I felt your energy and excitement. It was so refreshing and soathed my soul.
Just a heads up; White sage (Salvia Apiana) is not currently listed as endangered. Palo santo, however, is in critical numbers. I think less than 200 mature trees currently. Scary.
Most occult shops obtain their palo santo from sustainable sources. It is farmed and sustainably sourced and the trees harvested for the sticks are not killed or cut down. USUALLY, although I defo cannot speak for them all =(. Definitely ask the shop owner or employees where the palo santo comes from, and they should definitely know!
Great Video. Found you in youtube suggention. Found it informative. Realized I do many of the things you suggested and only recently did I have an incline that I've been praticing Wiccan without the knowledge of it. Leaning on diving deeper. Thanks a bunch.
Where you're adding the rosemary "mixture" to the vinegar for cleansing, is that a rosemary tea? Rosemary tincture? If you're also using it for "mundane cleansing" (love that phrase), isn't there the possibility of it staining, say, your couch or drapes? Especially if you're using essential oils...
Thank you, i truly needed this video, I have multiple coworkers that have extremely high negativity every day and I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown. I'm going to try some of these, thank you so much.
Oh my goodness, I felt so alone in my dislike of lavender, and now finally someone else who dislikes it! Honestly I've yet to see a side of you I don't relate to :D
@@jojoluther1750 I've tried it but still it wont go away... Why don't you focus on yourself and make yourself grow to a better man and be thankful that you are alive. And try to be accepting... Cuz it i really think that, you attacking me randomly, shows that you dont accept yourself as you are... Hunny you have a bright future ahead of you and hating on people is just a waste of your time.
I watch your videos all the time, I love them. You explain things so well and always seem positive and fun! It's given much inspiration, Can't wait to see more!
Omg someone else that hates the smell of lavender! My soul mate 😂!! Also be careful using vinegar to clean with.... Its an acid and will deteriorate protective coatings. So you shouldn't use on flooring wood furniture etc. It will ruin it over time. Tends to look dull over time.
@@TheWitchOfWonderlust definitely better but still be careful it will still wreck eventually. Most flooring warranties are void if you use vinegar to clean (even Mr clean). Just to give an example But if you don't see issues keep doing what you're doing! ❤️❤️ Loved this video btw 😍😍😍😍
Another great way to cleanse yourself is put drops of essential oil on a tissue and wave it all around your body starting at the feet. Really calming too!
That's lucky then. At least you won't have to take it down and reupload. I got super confused and kept fast forwarding trying to see if there was an extra bit hidden in there somewhere!!
I started using mason jars as glasses after I got 3 dozen in 5th grade and used them for paint or for holding things then cleaned them with the dishes and they’ve been in the pantry ever since
Okay, sorry to admit but I hate seeing the same boxes unboxed on so many witchy channels. However, this box I have not seen before and holy crap it's amazing. Oh and I need the tea zine so thanks for posting a link to that. I think I'll offer it as a giveaway on my channel. xoxo
I wish I could afford it. If I unsubscribed from Goddess provisons I might be able too. But I really love the insense they give in their boxes. But small sacrifices for the greater you of greater good lol
omg this gave me the tools and purpose to inspire to leave the broom closet forever I've written a poem for the occasion; here it goes: here I fly bad vibes, goodbye I cannot deny this delicious pumpkin pie - that is me hex not good sir ;) ;) ;)))
What you said makes so much sense! About the stale energy, that stillness. It's too still. But sometimes quiet is nice, and cheerful, but stale energy is not. It always puts me in a funk! Also the stuff about the vinegar makes sense because I use it to clean and I always feel differently after. I'd never heard this! Thank you for touching on smoke cleansing animal safety. I find ignorance can be bliss sometimes and the more I know about my cats and their liver the more stuff I have to avoid. It kinda sucks sometimes. Not gonna lie! But my cats are safer. I often wonder how people who practice take steps to protect their pets from things their livers just cannot process and I've wanted to ask but I'm glad to see you touch on this in the video! Pine is particularly toxic to cats so if you use this, especially an oil, in your practice it should be kept far, far away from cats.
So I got this notification while I was in the shower and now I’ve been sitting in a towel in the bathroom for *quite some time* and while watching this I forgot where I was lol
Omg😂 I've done the exact same thing! I'm happy I've made such an engaging video~
Holy cow, that's THREE people now! Except I saw Olivia's tea and immediately wanted to grab some of my own :) Love watching your videos Oli!
I do this all the time hahahaha
em r. So glad i am not the only who does this!
Following the bath theme... I'm soaking in a defensive cleansing bathwater as I watch this magical, beautiful being... I ♥️ you, wonderful witch of wonderlust !!!
"Spirits hate vinegar"
Me: "...I've been a spirit all along?"
Lol
Yes I have noticed that too no one really talks about it thank you for sharing. 👏👏👏💖
Doesn't that mean you've been dead for some time? When did you die? How?
On second thought I don't want to know. It won't change anything. Happy Haunting I guess.
My husband does too. He hates sage as well and when he let's me know I tell him "SO DO DEMONS" lol.

Lol my husband is a spirit then
I ask not
I command so

All evil entities
You all must go

sage is is one of my favs, but ive noticed that nothing works better than being grounded. no crystal, spell, or brew is more powerful than you

Banishing is basically a way aggressive clensing usually directed at an entity, or sometime person in your life.

When she said “get out your notebook”
I was like oh frick cause I forgot my note book because Im a witch in training 😂
to add to the pet safety thing: guys, birds are REALLY sensitive. their lungs can't handle smoke or even candles in certain amounts. birds are more high-maintenence than most people think, they need a lot of attention and hella space and there are a bunch of things that bird keepers have to watch out for: even certain kinds of cookware. please do your research and lots of it before ever getting a pet. thanks for reading, blessed be ♥️
ps amazing video as always olivia ^u^
Can you do a touch up on activating things.... like candles, essential oils, and crystals 😁😁
thank you so much for including the disclaimer on white sage and palo santo! it's super important for people to know and avoid buying them, especially from places like amazon or ebay
This topic came at an amazing time, I have (half) come out of the broom closet and my intuition has kicked in so now my energy and craft has strengthened alongside my confidence. Thankyou for more wonderful insight i truly love your aesthetic! Love and light from Australia 🐨✨
Hi!! I love your channel so much, the Six of Swords card is from the Ethereal Visions Tarot deck by Matt Hughes! And it's super crazy, I paused your video to do my daily tarot reading (I'm still learning and am trying to memorize all the cards) and I actually pulled the Six of Swords! Thank you so much for your videos, sending love and light your way🔮💕🌸

Congratulations on this partnership!! It's so amazing/inspiring to see your channel grow so much 💜💜💜
Thank you so much!!!!! I was ASTOUNDED. I wrote it on my manifest list... and it happened!!!
On the topic of palo santo and white sage, I've read that the palo santo that is typically found in stores comes from trees that arent included in the 250 count that labels them endangered. Palo Santo has been on the endangered list for nearly a decade (far before it ever became subject to being a fad for new age spirituality) and some have said the palo santo you may find at the typical metaphysics store come from special farms made specifically for saving the trees, not from trees in the wild.
It doesn't hurt to always check where the wood is sourced if you see it at a store or online store though.
This is the box I've been holding out for! Yes!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, I needed this today.
You inspire me with every video, and you've definitely made a space where I can go and ground myself.
Stay amazing!
you can cleanse and protect with cedar juniper pine and sage.
Two of my favorite witchy creators are teaming up? Yes please!! I absolutely love the women behind the Witches Box. They have a series on their UA-cam channel dedicated to book reviews that I've found super helpful, and their boxes are just AMAZING! Great video, Olivia!!
Big love and blessings to you, love!
You need a full size broom to sweep out your house, idk what you'd use a tiny broom for. Take an actual broom and dip in water mixed with florida water and sweep the dirt in your house out the front door.
The Red Spring and White Spring well water from Glastonbury!!!!! You are so lucky! I am pretty jelly! lol.
So 4:36 into the video and had to pause just to say that as you opened the box my heart started to pound so seriously hard as excitement filled my soul!! I am so going to get a magick box from them I immediately felt the connection of the items and you pulled them from the box!!! Thank you for sharing your videos a worker at my job saw me watching your video and stated that whatever I was watching made me look warm and fuzzy!
😊
I just signed up for the Witche's Box news letter and every month I get access to free BOS pages!!! mine is about 210 pages in my book so this is extremely helpful. aaaaaand im now unemployed and receiving disability sooooo subscribing to the box isn't in my best interest DX. but I absolutely love your videos! I have them downloaded to my tablet to watch them anytime
Crying tears of happiness for your inclusive terminology when talking about people with vaginas during the bath cleanse bit. 😭💛 Thank you for these videos, thank you for inclusivity 💛
Yes you can “smudge” using anything ! Cinnamon sticks and rosemary twigs are a fav of mine to light up 🔥
Btw what a great video 🌈🤟🏽💕
Do you HAVE to burn it for it to count as smudging? Ir can I just wave it around? XD
MythicGirl2210 “smudging” is a term I think that goes specifically with sage and some people don’t use the term . But for cleansing a space you don’t need to actually light it up with physical fire 🔥 magic isn’t always what the eyes can see 🧜🏼♂️ for example visualization techniques like she mentioned ? There’s a bunch of ways , your magic YOUR RULES 🕸
I've tried burning dried rosemary bundles from my garden and they flame up super quickly and fall off everywhere and so can't be used inside because of a fire risk (I tested outside first thank goddess lol)...any tips or tricks for how to get a better burn like the premade sage bundles you can buy?
MythicGirl2210 but yes you can definitely just wave it around hahaha
Shawna Johnson tbh I use single leaves or twigs at a time . I don’t burn the whole bundle as a thing . Tbh I don’t really do smoke cleansing these days lol I always like to light them though using a candle instead of a lighter . But you can also burn whatever it is on a charcoal disk! And have it in something ?
you can also boil bay leaves, juniper berries and sage leaves for a cleansing and protection. It's very good if you're a medium or do spirit work because it acts as a banishment. Bay leaves were used for exorcisms once so :)
OMG I just LOVE that cauldron bowl thing! That box was filled with great products. Great info Olivia.
i really appreciate that you talk about other tools you can use besides just the ones you use in your practice
I was so intrigued by the box of goodies, I subscribed for my own monthly goodies! Love watching your very interesting and informative videos! You are truly just an inspiration!
Thank you. I also love the colour of the wrapping shred paper and all the ritual cleansing products, so gorgeous and the little broom is adorable. I wish you a wonderful deep cleanse and clearance and renewed energy in your surroundings. Lovely video.
Thanks for affirming that I’m not the only one that doesn’t like lavender smell. I want the white vinegar, water and rosemary Cornwall and window washing
Wow what an amazing box, I opened a witchy subscription box on my channel not too long ago they are great for beginners like me. I loved you talking about defensive magic I have actually been doing these things not realising what I was doing so now I know I can do it with more purpose thank you I got so much from his video xx
Great video ❤️The spring water from Glastonbury is amazing & it’s such a magical place. I’ve been there many times ❤️ Blessed Bee 🐝
O. M. G. What a *gorgeous* box! I love everything inside! And they totally suit you as well!
I'm a witches box subscriber since the beginning of this year, and let me just let you, it's always an amazing surprise you will enjoy this subscription so much!!!
Monica!!!
I like ur vids
I am fortunate enough to have a year round creek with a deep basin which I use in my practice. Like Japanese baths, I clean the physical dirt from my body, then a spiritual cleansing in the stream. I practice skyclad, weather permitting, down by the creek so it is really convenient.
I have a magick garden where I grow my herbs for my practice; after your note on white sage, I will plant some more.
Bright Blessings and thank you for your contribution to the Craft.
you seem like such a nice person and you have such positive energy. Btw I loveeee your rings!!
Ohhhh boy...... I had JUST gotten supplies for defensive magic and cleansing my space before I watched this video and learned about over harvest of Palo Santo and white sage, so I'm going to make sure I keep those supplies since... I mean.... a little too late now, they've already been harvested so I may as well make them last and respect the materials by not letting it go to waste, but I'll look for alternatives that are ethically resourced in the future. I LOVE your videos, I'm just beginning to learn about witchcraft and how to really respect the practice in pursuit of being an eclectic witch (I'm also Christian so I'm trying to learn how to incorporate that into my practice as well and you mentioned that's completely possible in one of your videos too), and these videos have been such a huge help!
Now this is a interesting box.
I was looking up subscription box and found the Witch's Casket from the uk, you should check it out, its pretty lovely though visual wise not my cup of tea honestly due to having more of a goth vibe.
Didn't know about the white sage and palo santo herbs being over harvest, thank you for the useful information. I'll be sure to use vinegar for my cleansing and save my sage stick for special occasions
You might wanna check out The Witches Moon box and The Witches Roots...they are AMAZING!

Oh my goodness! That is an awesome box! I am so grateful that you posted this! I have always thought about ordering something like that for a spiritual/metaphysical selfcare. With my life so busy I am constantly working and taking care of family, while staying on top of the standard mundane chores from about 5:00 am to 11 or midnight Monday through Friday. The weekends are when I can get a little downtime. Unfortunately when something has to take the back burner due to time constraints, it's usually time to continue my spiritual routines. Like researching the metaphysical, meditation, or spellwork, writing my grimoire etc. And trying to find the time to buy anything that I can use for these things, is definitely difficult too. Not to mention that I am really particular about all the things I buy. So unless I feel that little "tug" in my stomach or chest that lets me know that it's more than just liking something, but it is something that's needed or meant to be, I wouldn't buy it. But shopping always takes me a long time. This box is amazing. I adored everything that was in it. I have finally found one that resonates with me. Thanks for the presenting it in a relatable way, with complete honesty and sincerity! Thanks to your video I am finally ready to buy my first subscription box of any kind and what a great theme to start with! 😍 You made my day. Love your attitude! After I finish posting this, I will first like this video and subscribe to your UA-cam channel and then go sign up for this companies subscription box! - May your world be filled with blessings and light. -
“spirits hate vinegar”
i d r i n k vinegar lmao
that's terrifying
Use flat needle cedar as a sustainable alternative to sage or palo santo. Many Native American tribes would often use cedar smudging in their cleansing ceremonies.
OMG! I need that box in my life so bad lol
A thought on spirits and vinegar;
Alcohol spirits are called spirits because alcohol is present in all plant matter, that in any plant can ferment and make alcohol. Therefore alcohol is the spirit of plants.
Vinegar is made when the spirits leave the wine causing the wine to sour. 🤔
I love how this was an unboxing AND so much information ❤
Love the Video Olivia. Been watching a lot of your older ones and watching the new ones. I love the Witches Box. I subscribe to the Book Club but have been thinking of ordering one of the monthly boxes. Those were some great items in that box and the tarot card design on your card is beautiful.
Drinking out of a jar has lost favour with me after I discovered skull shaped glass bottles that's where it's at in my opinion each to their own💀😀😅😅😅😅
NEED.
@@TheWitchOfWonderlust skull effigies make everything taste delicious lol
@@miltonknowlestheinsanewitc4996 i found skull shaped shot glasses once.... i know
@@hazecarter1247 skulls are awesome I'm replacing every glass bottle in my house that isn't antique with skull ones at least working towards it because they are awesome
I have the strangest cup in my house. It is a heavy dark grey clay-type cup. The whole front of it is some kind of gnome's face sticking out of the cup and when you look inside there is a little creature sitting there in the bottom of the cup....like a baby troll or something. My exhusband always claimed it was bad luck. I don't know....still have it. I must have gotten it about 30 years ago.
I used to find the lifestyle boxes underwhelming, but this is SO TASTEFUL! it has so much substance to it and proper heavy materials. ✨
"It's like: Mah" best description of a tipe of energy.
Have you ever heard of Florida water soap? I use mine everyday and it really smells nice and cleanses well. Not sure if i’m overdoing it with using it as my daily soap, but I suggest trying it out!
0:36 How do you activate/bless fragrances? Could you do a video on which oils are safe?
For more information about this contract him on WhatsApp +2349068281881
Either by adding sacred herbs along with waters charged with a specific intent like moon water or sun water or a sacred oil such as infused oil or florida Water
I love the unboxings. Im always weary about buying boxes and spending money on something that could possibly be a waste...this box...worth it quality and items are on point
Oo i want to make witch balls for my windows!
I had no idea sage was endangered, I'm going to use what I still have in my home but I won't be purchasing more. Thanks for the info!
You can plant, grow, propagate, and harvest your own too ❤ smudge sticks are very easy to make.
Grow your own! 😊 Growing your own herbs is very witchy. You'll never run out, and you know the ethics, etc. Growing any plants is a great way to connect to nature, especially if you live in an urban environment or in an area that's pretty cold in winter.
That's why I barely use Sage in my practice. It sucks all the energy, or it makes all the energy run away from Her, so I use Basil, it makes sense for me. Also instead of salt, I would use sugar in the ritual instead, partly because I use salt in like almost every meal, so I feel that it would be too much then. Great video, I really enjoy it.
This was really interesting and the box is cool!! I’m definitely checking all of this out! Thank you Olivia!
Apple cider is also good in the bath for eczema, I got rid of my little guys eczema that way..
Just letting you know Olivia, your video is dark for twenty minutes 😂❤️❤️
EVery time!!!!!! I'm fixing it now, thank you~
Wintergreen rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle works real well!
when this video popped up on my recommendations, I thought it was about writing defensive magic in a story. 😂
didn't know what I would be watching, but I like your energy and it was still helpful since I needed to know a little more about magical items for my book. every nice video!👍
Hi, Olivia, many thanks to you. I love very much your videos, 'cause I can to learn more about spells. And I think you don't imagine how it is very important to me. Blessed be , dear Olivia.
OOOOHHHHH YESSSSSS!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!
This is the first video i have watched from your page and i can honestly say it was very great. I felt your energy and excitement. It was so refreshing and soathed my soul.
Just a heads up;
White sage (Salvia Apiana) is not currently listed as endangered.
Palo santo, however, is in critical numbers. I think less than 200 mature trees currently. Scary.
Most occult shops obtain their palo santo from sustainable sources. It is farmed and sustainably sourced and the trees harvested for the sticks are not killed or cut down. USUALLY, although I defo cannot speak for them all =(. Definitely ask the shop owner or employees where the palo santo comes from, and they should definitely know!
Love your videos!! You gave me the courage to start my spiritual journey again after so many bad experiences. Thanks for just being awesome.
I tried cleansing by burning sage but it aggravated my asthma. Apparently this is not uncommon, so be careful. :-[
The tarot card is from the Ethereal Visions tarot. It's a gorgeous deck.
❤️
hey! i'm a filipino witch too!!! would you mind doing a video about filipino witchcraft practices? that would be /sooo/ helpful!
Great Video. Found you in youtube suggention. Found it informative. Realized I do many of the things you suggested and only recently did I have an incline that I've been praticing Wiccan without the knowledge of it. Leaning on diving deeper. Thanks a bunch.
Where you're adding the rosemary "mixture" to the vinegar for cleansing, is that a rosemary tea? Rosemary tincture? If you're also using it for "mundane cleansing" (love that phrase), isn't there the possibility of it staining, say, your couch or drapes? Especially if you're using essential oils...
ua-cam.com/video/3PQCbJgReas/v-deo.html
Thank you, i truly needed this video, I have multiple coworkers that have extremely high negativity every day and I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown. I'm going to try some of these, thank you so much.
Oh my goodness, I felt so alone in my dislike of lavender, and now finally someone else who dislikes it! Honestly I've yet to see a side of you I don't relate to :D
What a beautiful box. Beautifully wrapped and beautiful items.
Looking at her makes me feel grounded. Thank you for sharing. Love and Light
For more information about this contact +1(347)896-7898
Thank you 🙏 much appreciated I definitely will contact for more informations.
Wait.. Filipino roots? Did i hear that right?
Btw this really helped.
Luis Lopez you're beautiful, ppl who have time to put ppl down aren't worthy of your attention or time. 💞💞😍😙
@@jojoluther1750 Dude I couldn't agree more 😊😉👉
@@lolabint3411 thank youuuu, same to you❤️❤️ eh he doesn't have a life anyways.. 😉
@@jojoluther1750 I've tried it but still it wont go away... Why don't you focus on yourself and make yourself grow to a better man and be thankful that you are alive. And try to be accepting... Cuz it i really think that, you attacking me randomly, shows that you dont accept yourself as you are... Hunny you have a bright future ahead of you and hating on people is just a waste of your time.
I watch your videos all the time, I love them. You explain things so well and always seem positive and fun! It's given much inspiration, Can't wait to see more!
Omg someone else that hates the smell of lavender! My soul mate 😂!! Also be careful using vinegar to clean with.... Its an acid and will deteriorate protective coatings. So you shouldn't use on flooring wood furniture etc. It will ruin it over time. Tends to look dull over time.
Oof, thanks for sharing :o
That's why it's diluted half with water! I've never had it have an issue with my surfaces, but thanks for the heads up!
@@TheWitchOfWonderlust definitely better but still be careful it will still wreck eventually. Most flooring warranties are void if you use vinegar to clean (even Mr clean). Just to give an example
But if you don't see issues keep doing what you're doing! ❤️❤️ Loved this video btw 😍😍😍😍
I like the smell of REAL lavender.. I hate fake lavender it makes me feel sick
Another great way to cleanse yourself is put drops of essential oil on a tissue and wave it all around your body starting at the feet. Really calming too!
Also, quick question. How come the video is 41 minutes long, but there's only 20 minutes of actual footage? I'm confused.
same!
I’m sure it was an editing mistake. I was mostly disappointed, lol! I was ready to sit and listen to Olivia for nearly an hour, haha!
Awww
That's lucky then. At least you won't have to take it down and reupload. I got super confused and kept fast forwarding trying to see if there was an extra bit hidden in there somewhere!!
I ♥️ you ! So fresh and wonderfully witchy ! Blessed be.
When I saw you had a new video out I actually RAN to my room to get earbuds 😂. Can anyone relate?
ua-cam.com/video/3PQCbJgReas/v-deo.html
Me all the time
I started using mason jars as glasses after I got 3 dozen in 5th grade and used them for paint or for holding things then cleaned them with the dishes and they’ve been in the pantry ever since
Okay, sorry to admit but I hate seeing the same boxes unboxed on so many witchy channels. However, this box I have not seen before and holy crap it's amazing. Oh and I need the tea zine so thanks for posting a link to that. I think I'll offer it as a giveaway on my channel. xoxo
Yeah this box was HUGE. I'm happy I could provide something new! And thank you!! That's such a sweet thought~
I wish I could afford it. If I unsubscribed from Goddess provisons I might be able too. But I really love the insense they give in their boxes. But small sacrifices for the greater you of greater good lol
Oh yeah it's pricey, but at the end of the day its up to you which box makes you happier! Both are pretty great boxes~
omg this gave me the tools and purpose to inspire to leave the broom closet forever
I've written a poem for the occasion; here it goes:
here I fly
bad vibes, goodbye
I cannot deny
this delicious pumpkin pie - that is me
hex not good sir ;) ;) ;)))
You are a fillipino? im a fellow witch and pinoy.
Binibini sinasabi ko na ang galing mo mag paliwanag pag dating sa pagkukulam. XD
I really love your videos. Your energy is so fresh and airy and genuine! I appreciate you!❤️
40 mins?? ITS TEA TIME BABY
Omg the 40 minutes is a lieeee 😭 My mistake
Haha I kept watching like" is she gonna be sneaky and pop back in again"🔮🌿🎱 for about ten minutes though, I was finishing notes haha
What you said makes so much sense! About the stale energy, that stillness. It's too still. But sometimes quiet is nice, and cheerful, but stale energy is not. It always puts me in a funk! Also the stuff about the vinegar makes sense because I use it to clean and I always feel differently after. I'd never heard this! Thank you for touching on smoke cleansing animal safety. I find ignorance can be bliss sometimes and the more I know about my cats and their liver the more stuff I have to avoid. It kinda sucks sometimes. Not gonna lie! But my cats are safer. I often wonder how people who practice take steps to protect their pets from things their livers just cannot process and I've wanted to ask but I'm glad to see you touch on this in the video! Pine is particularly toxic to cats so if you use this, especially an oil, in your practice it should be kept far, far away from cats.
