What tips would you like to share for new pagans? Comment your thoughts below. 🙂
I would recommend: watch Scarlet Ravenswood :D
@@mikeprice5345 you're saying that as a male
Embrace the academic side of The Occult, don't be afraid of spending an afternoon with your nose in books. It is so empowering. Love your videos.
@@mikeprice5345 , and snakes.
@@jameslew2804 , Personally, I think that the vast majority of someone's time, when pursuing the occult and/or some form of spiritual path should be study. Not necessarily for the sake of mimicking authenticity, but to learn, get ideas and to simply know what one is talking about, not merely imagining and intuiting. *NOW* is a great time to study.
Don't get overwhelmed...this is a life long path of learning. It's ok to go slow and it's okay to take from different paths.
Great advice! :)
thank you for saying this haha... i’m a brand new pagan and just spent 3+ hours on researching one thing lol. i’m in love though, i can’t wait to learn more.
Oops too late already did. I want to he a pagan and already getting overwhelmed with which part of it I want to do. And I've been learning for two days. But I'm going back down and starting with wicca reading the beginning book by Scott Cunningham you recommended
@@ellielittle6681 lol same here

I love how personalized paganism is. It's not like you have to be only one thing and that's so beautiful and open minded and I appreciate the knowledge I am receiving.

@@christisking4093 shut up please. Let people live there lives without you screaming your religion in peoples faces, I’m new to paganism but even then I will not be deterred by you just trying to get a reaction, you really aren’t going to get the reaction you want your just gonna have us telling you the facts straight up, even then I wish you a good day because I don’t like being rude to people
@@dragonofdestiny8321 The Lord loves you. He does not hate but loves. He is not carnal but spirit. Come home. Peace and grace to you for all of your days in the name of Jesus Christ.

I would say to beginner witches or pagans don’t go past your limits and work at your own pace just start small with simple things and build up
Great point! :)

@@christisking4093Shut Up
I am always so happy to hear others talk about the fact we are creating our own path while still honoring the old ways. We are the present and the future of what the past created!
You mention walking out in nature and creating sacred space. I think that is my favourite pastime at every opportunity I get. Being in the UK. I am able to visit the occasional sacred site. Everything you said makes perfect sense. Thank you.

@@christisking4093 stop forcing your beliefs down 👇 people's throats 😩😩😩 BTW Why are you here anyway?

Great video and advice! I'd also encourage people to actually look into their own cultural routes and the ancient paganism that is base for their todays rituals and traditions. That way you feel very connected with what you have been brought up with but still experience the extra level of spiritualism. I don't think that it is always necessary to only look into the "trendy" pagan religions and work with norse, greek or celtic goods 😊 hahah I have the same new notebook addiction - just looove them 💚
Life's a Beach, great place to connect.
I love your idea of using the mantle as an altar/sacred space.
Totally. Im not sure if these are tips...but: 1. Don't get too caught up in doctrine, especially when something just doesn't feel right to your spirit. 2. Watch out for gatekeeping power-hungry supremacy type people, paths, or philosophy. 3. Take it seriously, not all things come easy and if you are not willing to shed some ego, assumptions, or preconceived notions... then you will hamper your own path and maybe become cynical. Our elders have a LOT of different things to offer, though not all things will work for you... still do not disregard their way or path. These days it is sometimes hard to sort out the difference between deep wisdom and outdated bias. 4. reiterate the connection to nature, or rather just the space of the world around you. To be from a place means you are part of that place... so spend some time being of your place. 'natural' things yes, but do not leave out the nature present in the human arranged patters and materials.
2. is important. Well over 90% of people have a thirst for power and control, earned or not, and as long as they're in that trap, they can't experience real spirituality. But that won't stop them from assuming pretentious names and "titles", and pretending to be an authority.
I think going on a walk is indeed a very good way to connect with nature and your beliefs. I live in the city too, so sometimes, it can feel a bit too much (and I do love the city). My tip is to be open-minded because it helps a lot when discovering new paths then you can choose the one/or the ones that resonnate with you the most.
I started off practicing chamanism, then, I rediscovered wicca (which I knew before but it didn't interest me that much back then) but I didn't believe in any of their deities, so it didn't last long.
I thought myself mostly an agnostic witch at that time, but as it went by, it didn't sound right anymore ! I finally realized I was in fact a pagan animist witch =) It's a very long journey (and it keeps going) so don't be afraid to "fail" because, one day, you'll realize those mistakes can be the best thing that happened to you ^^
Thank you for this. I’m new to exploring my true nature and self. I know I’m Norse. That’s my ancestry as well. It speaks to me
My best friend has been pagan for a couple decades, I never really understood it (to be fair I never asked and he didn't shove it down my throat) but recently it started interesting me and he's been more than happy to tell me about it. I'm really starting to love it. It seems like such a wholesome belief system.
Love this video! So happy I found your channel. I studied various religions and spiritual paths for a couple of decades (both for formal studies and personal development) and Paganism chose me before I realized it fully.
I wish I could give this comment more than a simple thumbs up.
Paganism definitely chose me too before I realized it. Looking back at my childhood I realized I was constantly questioning Catholicism and wanting to know more about other religions and my teachers said I’d go to hell for that😳 Paganism definitely lines up more with my beliefs
I love how when I was younger the schools would teach us ancient gods all types and back then i was Christian now im trying to go down the path of becoming a pagan. Im starting out with wicca. But I love the fact that I enjoyed ancient God learning about them and I have found a whole religion on them
I remember first reading about Greek Mythology as part of my Middle School English class. I immediately connected with the stories and the Gods and it definitely had a big impact on my growing up.
@@ScarletRavenswood thats how I feel
THANKS FOR THE TIPS SCARLET!
Thanks for the information. It sounds so nice.
Excellent Video! I needed it!
Glad you liked it :)
This was very helpful, thank you so much! Have a nice day.
Thank you!
great advice, living the path not just having it as a side experience. Its interesting how many use wicca as a gateway path. I think it's because it's the one that has had the most press.
If you choose the Heathen path a very important aspect is to COMMIT yourself to that path. I am a Norse Pagan, my gods do not shield me from bad things. They do pay attention to how I deal with adversity. "An easy life is no blessing", so says All Father. This path may not be easy but it pays great dividends!
Perfectly perfect
I just subscribed! So happy I found your channel!
i started my grimoire is wheel of the year, correspondences for it and herb cleansing and crystals
Hi I just found your channel while listening at work you should definitely start a podcast or convert your videos to just audio and upload somewhere as a podcast. Your amazing thanks for all the information :)
i love this
It's nice to be back hello
Hail!
Great video as aslways :)
o my gosh im the same with journals
I had the volume on maximum and I almost got a heart attack oof...
Nice video
I heard in your podcast that you use to live in Tennessee. I live in Monroe County East TN!!!! Thats so cool!!!
Yes, I was born in Chattanooga :)
@@ScarletRavenswood , I love Chattanooga and the Smokey Mountains, but not a fan of I-24. But then again, you're living in Chicago, and the traffic there is insane! I don't know which traffic is worse, CHI or ATL. Luckily, I live just north of Nashville and my house borders a large stretch of woods with my neighborhood on one side and the Cumberland River on the other. Deer and wild turkeys come up in my yard everyday.
I'm not a pagan but I'm open minded and respect other people religion or beliefs

Hello I am Druidry follower now recently however my spiritual path date back from my parents and their families were following Kardecism doctrine since 19 th century but my Gallician and Celtic roots make me trend back to Old Religion mean Celtic Pagan beliefs where live the true Nature Powers worship. I am Arthurian Legends writer and blogger also anyway I love your channel despite some difficults with English speaking.
Read up on as much as you can, use multiple sources especially on youtube and the internet. Plenty of good informative books put there too.
I'm now praying to Apollo, Artemis, Hermes Poseidon Demeter and hypnos 💗💗💗💗

You Said: I'm Not Pagan, And Said: I'm Praying Demeter Apollo Artemis Hermes Poseidon Hypnos, You Are Is A Pagan, Why? Hellenism Is A Pagan Religion And Olympians Is A Pagan Gods In Greek People.

Just a recommendation on the patreon, you should allow for one time donations. Appologies if I missed it.
I have practice witchcraft on and off for years joined a coven for a while candle spells work best for me Alec from Scotland
@A_Mad_Khajiit the reason I stopped I had months of really terrible bad luck
I plan on trying to do as much as possible in as many different kinds of witchcraft, going from variation to variation, starting with astrological, are there any tips I should know?
Great video, very informative for a beginner like myself! I'm currently exploring a pull that I've been experiencing for quite some years towards paganism, however, I'm finding it difficult to gather information and find reliable sources. Also everything seems very Wicca based. I've read a few Wicca books now, but something just isn't sitting right with me and Wicca, I am feeling that this may not be the path for me. Where could I find more reliable information about Norse and Celtic paganism?
This is what I've noticed too. I've very recently started to look into paganism because it resonates with me, but often paganism and Wicca seem to be viewed as one and the same or I just haven't found the right sites yet.
Hi! I would like to know more about Paganism. Which book/resource would you suggest? since I am new to this, I would like to read something not too complicated. Thanks! Love your videos.
I have grown up in the Christian faith and I am currently on my own path of possibly converting to Wicca or paganism (paganism just resonates more with me and makes more sense) what advice would you give to someone who is like me who has grown up as a “Christian” and wants to convert but has had fear instilled into their brain about converting?
i kinda follow celtic pagan but also believe in gaia (greek goddess) of earth
Old Norse pagan. Love you Scarlett
You guys are serious!
I'm 16 and I feel that the wiccan path calls out to me. But I cannot do this with my parents around. is there any tips I could gain from this or should know ☺️🙏🍃 I do feel intune with nature
How do I know the gods? I was raised to know christian gods but I had a feeling there was more and want to get to know them. I loved watching "Xena; Warrior Princess" on TV and there are a lot of cool gods mentioned and I was drawn to them but didn't know much about them. Who are your gods/goddesses?
Hail Apollo Artemis Hermes Poseidon Demeter and hypnos 💗💗💗💗💗
.
I’m new and I’m scared 😟 I don’t even know where to start!
What books would you recommend to new pagans? Which ones would give us the most information we need.
Where do I buy Norse statues?
I'm following celtic and wiccan tell me if I spelt that right
Are all the witches so cheerful and serene? I am a little confused :)
What if I want to follow Germanic paganism, but not Norse? I have Germanic ancestors, but not Norse ancestors. Is there a way I can follow Anglo-Saxon paganism?
firstly don't try to force it like the seasons things happen in their time not before. Secondly there is no wrong path only your path, thirdly walk your path with an open mind and open eyes not with blinkered fear.
When having an altar, is it necessary to burn candles or incense? Where I live, it's against the rules. The smoke will set off our alarms and the sprinklee wet everything.
You don't have to burn candles or incense on your altar. You can use other natural items or representations of the deities on your altar. :)
What if I want to be a pagan but my parents will think I'm weird
Is there room in Paganism for an absence of any spiritual belief, but rather just a reverence for nature and our evolutionary place within it, and a communion with the Gods and Goddesses as symbols and stories?
Some modern Druids share that approach. Modern Druidry, particularly OBOD, AODA and some of the less well-known British organisations, is very accommodating to different views, there's even Buddhist Druids, Christian Druids and Agnostic Druids. It's a very diverse movement.
Absolutely! My approach is just that and has always been.
I want to follow paganism closer to my ancestry but all I know is that my family is Polish...Does that mean I should start with looking into Norse Gods?
If I may say something maybe you can try Slavic Paganism?
Slavic Paganism if your ancestors came from the central and southern parts of Poland. If your ancestors came from the coast of the Baltic sea, it wouldn't hurt to inform yourself about the Norse gods and the Baltic gods.
How does one become pagan? I feel like I'm a pagan but not sure.
I was wondering if there was a process to become pagan.
There's not a formal process to becoming Pagan. One becomes a Pagan when they decide to dedicate themselves to the old Gods. :)
@@ScarletRavenswood who are the old gods? And how do we dedicate ourselves? Sorry. I'm like a newborn baby here. I love nature and have respect for her and like to help people and learn ways to heal with natural ways.
@@sherann6564 If you're interested in the old gods and paganism in general and feel drawn to it in whatever way, just start doing some research, that's what I'm doing at the moment. I'm trying to read up things on the different gods and pagan paths and trying to find one that fits me. You could simply use wikipedia for starters! Or maybe you have a local library that has books on mythologies or wicca for example :)
@@jinxapologist thank you. I joined a group on Facebook that was for pagans and green witches but it was changed for everyone besides those two. Even though I've not been initiated they allowed me to come in and learn from them but there is one god they like that scares me. Do I have to worship him? Or can we pick who we want. Then I found another person besides this lady here that I have a lot of respect for, called Spells8. He explains a lot too. Wikipedia is cool too. So I'm sticking with all those and learn.
@@sherann6564 No, of course you don't have to worship a god you feel unsure about or are scared of :) it's all a bit overwhelming at first, I'm very new to paganism too but I'm excited for everything I learn and I'll just see where the journey takes me.
why did you move away from wicca?
Norse pagan..
Freya
I started as a Pagan, more on offering.. and upgrade to magick, and others
Thanks for your comment. I've slowly moved away from wicca because I wanted to connect with traditions that were more authentic to the practices of the ancient Celtic and Norse peoples.
@@ScarletRavenswood , great response. I think Gerald Gardner was a fun guy who wanted to do something special, but historical accuracy wasn't his strong point. :-)
Markhen, Watcha think about Freyia Norling?
Don’t write Off the major religions, all spiritual paths have something to offer
A good tip for Pagans, don't show or tell you are Pagan till you are sure you won't be judged. The pendant you have is similar to what I have, because of wearing it I was refused an apt. A friend of mine had another piece of jewelry with runes on it and he lost his job, he was told a few times not to wear such symbols yet he disregarded the warning and was kicked out of his work place. Not everyone realizes what Paganism is all about, the older generation may view you as a nazi. Even if it's religious discrimination and wrong it still can cause you trouble. Be proud but if you need a job and apt then keep it on the down-low when going to interviews or visiting apts.
How do you go about telling someone that is in a relationship with you, that you're wanting to go the Pagan path when they are of the Christian faith? Christianity is something that I no longer wish to be a part of.

@@christisking4093 Everyone's religion deserves respect - there are about 3,000 of them on Earth, and many Gods are worshipped. People here are already well aware of Christianity, but have decided we wish to go a different path.

I thought it was created in the 50s by a guy named Gerald Gardner?
Weren't the original germanic pagan tribes extremely patriarchal and homophobic?

Gods run in the Blood 🩸 Stick with the Gods of your ancestors. That’s my advice. You might not have a strong connection at first But you will. Because Gods run in the Blood 🩸 Good luck on your journey ahead.

You need a better mic
i think it's good enough for now, when her channel becomes more mainstream I would agree though
Was the sound too quiet or could you hear background noise? Let me know and I can work on improving the audio for my next video :)
Scarlet Ravenswood It was a little bit quiet, but all I had to do was turn my volume up a few notches and everything was fine! ❤️
@@ScarletRavenswood I had to turn my phone all the way up and then some words were barely audible. I can usually listen to music or other videos with no issues. Maybe try testing it on your phone, but it was far quieter than most videos, at least on my phone

Seek Jesus Christ
Tip #1: ditch your paganism and come back to the truth faith which is founded by the Lord Jesus Christ. The faith that gave you the moral framework that still informs your choices.
