Opening Up About Being a Vintage Witch
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- I've been a practicing Witch for over 30 years, but I hardly ever talk about it publicly. So I'm finally opening up to you all about being a vintage Witch.
I'll answer questions from followers about my craft and how I blend my vintage lifestyle with being a Witch.
Please check out Annabel's UA-cam, she has wonderful and very useful content that has helped me tremendously. @TheGreenWitch

Witchcraft and vintage are excellent companions. Both delight in femininity and care about the ancestors. ♥️
Christine, thank you so much for sharing more about yourself and being a Witch. I loved learning more about you, and I love that you cast your intentions into everyday life! This is so lovely.
Thank you!
Ah! Kristina and Christine - the only two vintage channels I still follow!
Awww, I am so glad you finally decided to come out of the Broom closet 💕✨ #bighug it’s part of who we are as spiritual beings & I enjoy making my mundane life magical. My craft is my dressmaking & one day I aspire to write a book to teach others how to incorporate a little magick into their own crafty endeavors. 🙌 but I agree it is hard to comprehend how others will perceive us. 😢 #itcanbescary
Magic in the mundane is everything! I live by this myself. Thanks for sharing. 🕯️💫✨
Thank you so much for sharing! I too love to use thrifted and found items for my witchy practice. I'm often asked if I have an altar and my reply is my whole house is an altar. LOL! Everything is a magical space to me and everything I do is sacred practice. I'd love to see more videos about your witchy life as you feel called to share 💜
Hooray for vintage witchery!
Thank you for your story. It is not my path, but I respect that you are taking the path best for you. No one should be threatened and it reflects badly on anyone who would do that. May your path be safe and beautiful.
Thank you so much!
@@TheGlambassador you are most welcome.
Thank you so much for doing this & for having the courage to speak out. From one vintage witch to another ❤❤❤🌹
I'm not surprised. You had posted a couple things that made me wonder. My brother and his family is Wiccan. So to you I say Blessed Be!
Blessed be from a hedge witch here in the UK. I was raised as a Wiccan and I continue to use it in my everyday day life. Magic is everywhere in the earth new life is created every day by mother nature and everything that I do I remember that it will be reflected back to us threefold. I don't have many 'magical' items, I use what I find in nature.
Wicca is not witchcraft, it is a newage Religion and the rule of three is a newage thing. To follow the old way you have to get rid of christian inspiered rules, that were made to hold witches under control.
@@JM-tz9ej I do realise that, I don't believe that there is a 'god' in the conventional way of thinking. I forgot to mention that I am a pagan Wiccan (yes that is a thing) and in my 53 years of being on this earth it has never been a problem.
I think most of your follower’s already knew and would support you no matter what.
A lot did, I think but I am loosing subscribers. I expected to though. It's ok.
Hi thank you so much for sharing! It’s nice to see more vintage witches being open about they’re practice and who they are 🙂 I am an eclectic witch as well but I mainly use tea magic and divination as my daily practice! My family know I am a witch and they are supportive 🙂 I like to support other witches as well! I love your channel 💖
Thank you! It’s lovely to have such support.
I think it’s amazing that you created a community and atmosphere in which you feel safe to open up and share with us about your beliefs.
I was raised Catholic but my family still relies heavily on our Indigenous practices. I love hearing the beliefs others have that would also not be considered “conventional.” It makes me feel a little less alone 😊 thank you for sharing 💕
I agree ... "coming out of the broom closet" isn't for the faint-hearted. It's either dipping your toe into the pool or doing a full-on cannonball! Just found your channel and I'm a new subbie, and an Eclectic Witch.
Blessed Be, Sister Witch. 🌖🌕🌔
I understand being nervous about coming out of the broom closet!
You’re so lovely and brave. Thank you for sharing with us. As beings we are so dimensional. It’s nice getting to see another facet of who you are. Love how you include intention in everyday tasks.
Many blessings from Southern Hemisphere. Thank you for your beautiful video, your grace and love of Vintage. I too am a Green Witch, very eclectic 💕
I'm so happy to see this video, Paganism has been such a big part of my life since I was 15-16 so it's lovely to hear about someone elses journey. I particularly loved what you said about magic being in the mundane, that makes so much sense to me.
Thank you so much!
I loved learning more about you :) I'm Catholic but I love hearing about other religions. I never understand when people have a problem with other people's spiritual paths ❤️
That is so interesting! I would never think that you're a green Witch but honestly, adding the vintage aspect of it makes a lot of sense. So many DYI potions etc. are really something that women used to do more or less. Thank you for sharing! ♥
Thank you for sharing so openly. I strongly support tolerance of all peace loving peoples, and it’s a shame Witches might feel uncomfortable sharing their beliefs at present. Thank you for stepping out and sharing with us 🥰🥰
Pausing right off the bat to comment that your top is LOVELY.
Oh thank you, it's from ModCloth.
I thought the same about her blouse.
I posted this on fb, but want to add it here too:I just finished watching your video and I enjoyed it very much. I learned a lot and never knew there are different types of witches and how they practice. I also enjoyed how you apply it to putting together your outfits (e.g brooches)! So lovely!
Thank you darling!
@@TheGlambassador You're very welcome! Xoxo
I was hoping for a video like this someday! I am very interested in intentions and manifesting, and to me trying to see the magic in the mundane is the only way to get through life :) Thank you for the wonderful book recommendations!
Thank you for the video and for the book recommendations 📚📖. Wishing you many blessings ❤
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for your vulnerability!!! Beautiful inside and out 🖤
Thank you so much for sharing! I admire your vulnerability ❤
Thank you so much!
I was so excited to see this video! I had guessed (well, thought you might be) a witch. You just have this air about you. I love that you get to use your magic daily and combine your love of vintage too. I'm a hearth witch and throw in some green here and there and the odd this and that depending on what I need/feel. I'd love for you to feel comfortable enough to share more with us in what you do, like your Solstice bowl...that was so pretty! Many blessings to you, lovely! xXx
Thank you for being brave and sharing. This does not change my love for your channel and content. I've been a practicing witch (non-Wiccan) since I was a teenager, and I've been vintage for the same amount of time. Thank you for being you.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have several of the books you recommended, and am now purchasing a couple more.
I had a great beginning to Litha as well and I am always nervous when I share content about it.
I was so excited when you came out ❤❤❤❤❤ I appreciate how difficult it can be to admit it, as a public figure. The people who 'can't' follow you, because of this, are exercising their rights, but it's their loss
The more the merrier!!! Pls consider more content like this ❤️❤️
I ‘m glad you talked about being a witch! I love vintage things so I’ll enjoy watching your videos. Yes combining your craft with vintage info would be fun and interesting. I’m glad I found your channel!
Thank you for being open about this. I know a young who is searching and has settled on Green Witchery. I'm sure they would appreciate more information.
I keep a brooch of my grandmother's on my ancestor altar and you are inspiring me to actually wear it. Some green witch resources I've loved lately that you might be interested in are Plant Witchery by Juliet Diaz and the podcast Elder Hour by her and Chelsea Selby
I love that you have a brooch of your grandmother’s and maybe wearing it from time to time would be a great talisman for you. Thanks for the book recommendation, I’ll check it out.
Fellow vintage witch here! Glad to know there are more of us. I also love thrifting items to use in my practice (as well as vintage Halloween decor). Love this & all your videos. I also follow these witchy folks on UA-cam that y'all may also be interested in: The Witch's Cookery - she's a kitchen witch from Germany & she is an absolute delight; Alwyn Oak - she is British & is wonderfully whimsical (I swear she may be one of the fae); & Hearthwitch - she is also British & is a wealth of information on British folklore & the practice.
Thank you so much for those recommendations, I'll be sure to check them out.
Oooh Vintage Witchery? Never heard the term but I am digging it ! And would fit right into that coven for sure
Thank you for sharing and for the excellent reading list with links! So very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing this insight into witchcraft and you. I'm intrigued by so much you discussed and will have to say that I always hoped to have a little bit of witch inside of me! The way you described your intention on doing things from makeup to brewing coffee definitely gives me something to think about as I go through my days. I'm always looking for grounding or peaceful elements given the frenetic world that swirls around me.
You are so welcome
I find this so interesting. I dont really know anything about witchcraft, but some of the points you made seem like they fit into just a better outlook on life that can be incorporated without calling it witchcraft.. my point being, those open-minded enough should be able to see something useful in future videos without labeling themselves as a witch if they dont want to. Doing things with intention and manifestation, and just giving purpose to things and yourself.. can help get people through the day and find joy in the mundane... the world needs more of it. Anyway, I'd love to know more and see more from time to time. I know it has to be hard to open yourself up to "the trolls," but dont take them to heart. This life is your journey.
Thank you for talking about this in such an approachable way. I’ve been thinking heavily about starting my craft for a few weeks now, and the timing of this video was perfect! Thank you for the great book recommendations so I can finally get started on my research!
You are so welcome!
Oo I loved your look just clicked on for vintage content then this! Just absolutely amazing!! Please more content about vintage witchcraft even if you start another channel xx
I’m so thrilled you are sharing more about this!!! If you feel comfortable doing more content like this, I’m here for it! But I respect your privacy. Sadly, ignorance is a plague.
Thank you!!!
In the Pagan world too unfortunatly.
I've always felt a strong connection to nature, so paganism is something that resonates with me. I fully respect your religious beliefs. I have an amulet I got from a witch on Etsy that I wear a lot, as it's supposed to protect the wearer from drama and bad luck. I hang it from a tree limb during the full moon so it gets "recharged", so to speak. I have trauma, so it helps a lot to feel more protected and in control. Whether it's just a mental attitude thing or real magic, who cares! It helps. I'm glad you were brave enough to talk about it.
Oh MY God, you are speaking to my journey. I was raised Christian - a traditional Christian heritage but my parents were also more worldly in their approach to spiritualism which allowed me to seek spiritual solace and joy in nature and creativity which includes the time I spend in the kitchen and the magic of art and creativity. I have never codified or ritualized my spiritual rituals etc, but it is only recently that I discovered that the definition of being a witch is not - or should not be framed by 'old' superstitious narratives. I read a lot of witchery books on different types of witch practices and I never felt I fitted into one or the other and your idea of the Eclectic Witch with an emphasis of a more naturalist approach that works within the kitchen, garden, home and hearth. Oh my, thank you for sharing this. it helps me continue to qualify my journey as a witch of the light. Thank you so much.
I’m so glad that my journey has resonated with you.
Thank you so much for sharing ❤ i would be very much interested on more green witch content. My hubby is eclectic (non-practising though) wicca and I consider myself as vintage herb witch, so I'm very much into hearing more.
Thank you dear for sharing.
I found this video so relaxing to watch, as well as informative!
I'd love to see some cleaning content, with which herbs etc you tend to use. Very interesting sweetie.
Looking divine as usual. Xx
I’ve been trying to figure out some way to do a cleaning routine or cleaning type video. I’m a “clean as you go” kinda gal so I wouldn’t have like an “extreme cleaning” type of video. But I think I could probably do something showing some of my homemade cleaning products.
Iam so glad with this video same way ❤thancks for share and be yourself blessings 🌹💋🌹
I am over the moon about this! Congratulations on making the video.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing such a personal and important part of your life. That took a lot of courage. You are a beautiful person inside and out.
Thank you so much!
First of all, I want to commend you for taking such a bold step. It's often so hard coming out of the broom closet. I'm more of a Pagan rather than simply a witch. (As if there's anything "simple" about being a witch.) I consider myself an eclectic Pagan. I don't say anything about being pagan IRL because I just don't want to deal with the hassle, especially with the more devout Christians. I like to show them who I am before coming out and saying anything. That said, I will not deny that I'm a Pagan when asked outright. And usually that question comes after long acquaintance. Blessed Be!
OH WOW . BEAUTIFUL AND ENCHANTING, Thank you AND I just love your dress
Thank you so much!
Your the first “witch” that I follow, although I have friends that are practising duets and pagans. I myself am a methodist, so the one thing I know is a good heart is a good heart and not restricted to any one Philosophy, but that just my opinion.
You glow with pride, sister witch. Blessed be!
❤️❤️❤️
Vintage witch here and giving you so much love
It's very much appreciated!!!! ❤️
I love this! I love and raise herbs. I would love to hear more about this along with the vintage content.
Absolutely love this!!! I came here from your ig page - would definitely be interested in any further videos you make on this subject. (And thanks for the tip re the Green Witch channel also :-)
Awesome! Thank you!
Love this video and topic! I hope people are kind and you will feel confident in sharing more.
Thank you so much!
Very interesting to learn a bit more about this side of you. Thank you for sharing. May you continue to bloom and thrive.
So nice of you, thank you!
🌛🌝🌜 Blessed Be and thank you for your honesty... Maggie from Belgium 🌿
Thank you so much!
Thank you for comng out of the broom closet. Now I don't feel quite so alone. I too am a Witch. Yay.
Definitely not alone, there are more of us that we realize.
Cool! I'm a witch, too.
Thank you for sharing more about yourself. Yes you are right there are many more of us than you realize. I'm a Tarot Reader and teacher I definitely work Intention. I'm more of a Moon Witch and and just love my Vintage Fashion.❤
Omg I knew it ❤ I too am a witch and truly feel so free when I'm able to be open about it. So proud of you for coming on sharing your craft ❤️ love this so so much 💖
Thank you so much!
OMG a witch and jewelry! I just subbed 💜
@enchantedladylisa wow cool thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing! I don’t know much about being a witch so this was interesting and informative. Another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love and light to you hun.x many blessings to you.
If the activities you mentioned are considered to be witchcraft, then I am a witch. I was just about to ask for your book recommendations when you began sharing the books, lol. ❤
It's always nice to unexpectedly find a fellow witch. 😊 I adore these publications by Maia Toll, I've been eyeing them for some time, but can't decide on edition, cause now there are three of each title. 😆 I need to finally decide and get them. 😊 I wonder what other decks do you have and use.
Thanks for sharing this with us! I've found my vintage aesthetic is a great complement to my own religious and cultural practices.
Thank you, Christine! You are very inspiring ❤
Thank you so much!
It's not easy coming out. I've been one since the late 70's and even with the more tolerant times, it's not always an easy thing to tell people. And yes, even pagans/witches can be conservative in many ways. The vintage lifestyle, imo, is conservative in the true sense of the word. We conserve the traditions as well as make new ones.
Thank you for sharing - you're so brave! I'm closer to a heathen but, past that, kitchen and green.
Wonderful!
Thank you for sharing ❤
I'm a witch)wiccan(pagan too! And it's so wonderful knowing one of my favorite vintage hair UA-camrs is one as well! 💜 Thank you for opening up and letting yourself be seen
Thank you for sharing this slice of your life with us! I know it’s not easy to open up about such things, but I really appreciated learning about it!
Thank you so much!
hey!! i’m a vintage witch too ❤ love your content
Thank you for sharing with us x
You are so welcome!
I just found you... I am so proud of you for coming out of your comfort zone and sharing with us! ♥ subscribed!
Thanks for subbing!
Thank you for sharing all the information.I am a practicing tarot reader and always want to learn more. Recently learning about the lunar world.
Ive been following you for awhile and I am so excited to find out you are a witch ❤ Hello from a follower and fellow vintage witch 😊
Yay! Thank you!
Hmmm…hearth witchery. Interesting- I know what my next web search will be! I used to be a church lady, but I have moved away from the church as I realized the Christian metaphor no longer fit my feelings about the Universe.
I just spend most of my time being thankful for the little things. And to say thank you out loud through out the day, such as thanking my keys for letting them to be found. ;~). I suppose my belief falls somewhere within the animism spectrum. It makes me happy.
While not a spell caster by any means, I do understand the power of wearing the jewelry of women who have gone on before me. Both things from my family, and items that have been thrifted. I just feel like I’m carrying some of their strength and beauty forward, if that makes sense.
I'm a witch as well and a new subscriber. Love your style and thank you.
Thanks for subbing!
Being a witch and having a practice and celebrating nature is enriching… Blessed BE
Thank you for this. I find your videos are so informative. I have often gravitatd to witchcraft but find it a bit overwhelming to find a 'place' to be. I will bechecking out your recommendations. As far as more content, I love seasonal changes and would definitely like to hear abou welcoming in each new season. xx
Ooh sorry for all the typos! My little phone keyboard!
Thank you, and that’s a great suggestion. It’s nice to see how we each welcome the seasons.
Thank you for sharing with us. This is who you are and makes you you. I never knew any of this and so glad you shared this knowledge. I use alot of this thinking but did not connect it with magic. I am going to look at my choices and ideas with new insight.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your video; I loved hearing about your practice and it is so encouraging to me. I am a witch who has always struggled to find balance - my practice has been too much "all or nothing", and like you I found the grander undertakings exhausting. You have inspired me to revive my own practice in a more sustainable way. I admire your courage in sharing this part of your life, and completely understand how daunting that is. I see spirits from time to time, and sharing that with people who even look askance at my being a cat lady is so fraught. I'd love to hear more about your practice and your thoughts on spiritual matters!
Greetings from a chaos-storm witch from Germany. ❤
Guten Tag und Willkommen!
Very interesting. I love the magic you bring to your daily life with intentions and the content you share!
So glad!
It was a wonderful video ❤ I am a Natur or green witch. 😊 have a nice weekend.
❤ thank you 🙏🏿 soooo much ! I am so excited to hear more about your practice 😊 I too am 30s 40s vintage Green Witch 💗🦋 beautiful video
Bless Be ✨✨✨
I'm very happy that you made this video :D thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this, thanks!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You did a great job, more please. 💝
very cool
Thank you lovely one❤
😳Cool!
Thank you so much, Christine for this video and for sharing with us! This is a very interesting topic for me. I have been interested in it since my teenage I will watch this video several times since English is not my native language and I want to make sure that I understood and heard each and everything. Christina, do I understand correctly that in English the expression"being witch" means some tricks in housekeeping, taking care of yourself and body and so on, did I understand correctly?
Thank you for sharing this with us. I would definitely love to hear more. You're such a beautiful person with a beautiful soul.
Thank you so much!
As i mentioned in your patreon, I am so glad that you decided to share this. I hosted several wicca study groups, so i am always interested in other people's paths ❤
