Great video, but just a note of caution to the newer witches out there since this is a 101 video: not all crystals should be cleansed in running water. Some can dissolve when placed in water, others can synthesize toxic materials when placed in water for too long. Some crystals to avoid water cleansing are Selenite, Malachite, Lapis Lazuli, Fluorite, Calcite, Desert Rose, Labradorite, or Halite, just off the top of my head. There are others as well so please do your research. Also with cleansing sprays, if you own cats, they are very sensitive to different chemicals and essential oils fall in that category, cats aren't able to metabolize certain oils and such safely, so take care around your little floof balls and again, do your research! Blessed be everyone. 🖤
Bobi Papaleo I was actually just talking to friend about crystals chemical reactions in a crystal shop the other day. Also, be careful with Himalayan salt lamps. Those can have a bad reaction for cats when they lick the salt. My go to crystal is still clear quartz for getting rid of bad dreams and ground out. I found it’s a good catch all of you don’t have any specific stone on hand, and easy to cleanse with water or sun light to reset.
One way I love cleansing my home is when its raining I open all my windows and doors including the front door. The sound and breeze coming from the rain cleanses the energy in my home and charges it. It's also super peaceful and smells so nice.
Great idea. Thank you! This totally resonates with me. I love the sound, smell and energy of but never thought of actually using it for magical purposes.
UGHHHH that sounds so amazing! I love the rain so much. But I could never leave my doors open for too long because my cats would zoom out of them immediately 😂
Little safety tip for those unaware about the sun and stones like quartz! Quartz can concentrate sunlight to such levels as it can start fires, so please be super careful if you are exposing your quartz to sunlight. Do not leave it unattended and if you have a big gorgeous crystal ball, please be sure to cover it when not in use if it's in an area that gets any sunlight. Safety and mindfulness in practice always loves!
i’ve been on and off trying to get into the witch community but i keep getting discouraged by the lack of sincere guidance. but now that i’ve found your channel i feel like i can finally start the journey!
There a different practices that witches do and finding the right witch teacher is a great start. If you find a teacher that isn't into the same areas of magick as you, you can find yourself doing things that aren't as easy or comprehensive
Same, there’s either advanced witches living their life or absolute beginners in each community I’ve found and it’s hard to find any proper research - with how popular the craft is - without being mislead.
2:27 first way to cleanse is cleaning your surroundings 2:51 smoke cleansing 4:41 spray cleansing is a good substitute for smoke cleansing in case you don't have access to the smoke cleansing part 5:25 sounds 6:54 running water There are more but those are the only one I could catch 🖤
I like taking a shower and envisioning all the negative energy going down the drain. You can put a symbol symbol of protection on your wash cloth with your favorite liquid soap and soap up your body . I really love your your videos. They are just so relaxing.
another note about sage: if you are not Native/are obtaining sage from someone who is not, it's probably best not to use it!! because of the increased demand, sage is not being harvested correctly and it's becoming harder for Natives to obtain. using sage for weekly or monthly cleansing is not sustainable at all, especially when it's so important in many Native spiritual practices. unless it's part of your culture, try using another herb like rosemary :)
@@peachy1295 I'm pretty sure blue sage is a also a closed practice? But I could be wrong. Your best bet is honestly garden sage or like OP said rosemary
Absolutely agree, cleansing is so important (and we could all do more) Friendly reminders: DO NOT CLEANSE SELENITE WITH WATER IT WILL DETERIORATE. Same goes with most 'ite' suffix stones. Malachite is toxic when wet so, be extra careful. Be sure to research and know your Crystals inside and out prior to doing anything with them! Great video! Very insightful and lovely!
You're a lovely teacher. Cleansing is so important! If someone's on their first steps of their path, I'd say start with cleansing. It'll teach you so much about the energies that you're setting out to work with, and it's fairly straightforward. Plus, like Olivia said, it's the very foundation of witchcraft. I like to call it spiritual hygiene. It's just something you need to be doing, for your own good. I agree with spray being more concentrated and a bit harder to use - everyone who's tried to cleanse a whole house with a squirt bottle knows what I'm talking about 😂 I do, however, find it to be a lovely method to cleanse corners that are hard to reach, like up in the ceiling. It's also such a nice way to cleanse old furniture that you take into your home. I use moon water, a bit of vinegar and whatever herbs/essential oils I need for that purpose. No salt in furniture cleansing spray, as it might damage the material. Oh, and spraying plain moon water on your plants does them really really good. I love using sound too. It's so effective for waking up that stagnant energy that accumulates in corners, unused rooms, closets... A few claps and then some smoke in places where bad energy's accumulated, or the soft jingle of a bell in places where the energy just need a gentle wake up and lift. And it's so logical. I mean, we all know how much music can change the mood of a crowd, or in a room. Happy music will make people feel at ease, and aggressive music may make you feel angry or energised 🤷🏼♀️ Sound shifts energy and that's that.
Filippa Skog I love the sound of singing bowls! But unfortunately I live in a small housing area and will probably annoy my family members and a few neighbours 🤣 although, I did make a lovely cleansing spray out of lemon, basil and thyme, and even though it’s harder to use, it does make my room smell fresher and clearer.
@@laurabowden5 I love the sound of singing bowls too! 😍 My mother found one in a flea market for $5 not long ago, they probably thought it was a really ineffective pestle and mortar 😂 Too bad she's a practitioner too, or I'd claim it in a heartbeat. Those things are NOT cheap! It sounds like a lovely spray!
Filippa Skog I know right!!! Which is probably why I’ve been deterred from buying them in the first place 😭 it is!! It’s so easy to make, too, and perfect for secret practitioners like me who can just say that they want a ‘nice smelling room spray’ 🤣
I thought I would mention this because I just learned it myself and was completely blown away after so many years, is that some fast burning charcoal discs and many incense brands in particular have really bad, toxic ingredients!😵 Like some sticks even have formaldehyde that many have been inhaling on top of the smoke in general. So please, please do your research before purchasing these items!
There are blocks of bamboo charcoal, usually Japanese, that do not contain any accelerants like the potassium nitrate (aka salt petre) found in "quick light" charcoal discs. While any charcoal needs to be in a ventilated area since carbon monoxide is a by-product of of any combustion, the Japanese are very serious about their incense and prefer the natural bamboo charcoal since is does not add a burning smell to the incense.
MoonSinger I don’t really use charcoal, I haven’t quite gotten there, so thank you for providing some info on that. I’ve seen people use charcoal blocks instead of the round one shown in the video, now it makes sense why. When I’m not using Palo Santo, I mostly use incense sticks and I really love the brand Nitiraj. It’s a Masala dipped incense, all natural, has a variety of scents, and they’re pretty good quality. They also burn longer too.
I’ve been feeling run down and I realize I haven’t cleansed. I remember people telling me I was glowing and I couldn’t figure out why. Now I realize I’d recently saged and had a cleansing bath/tea and set intentions with candles and crystals 🥰
I love how Olivia's videos always motivate me to focus on my practice, since i tend to neglect it a lot due to Uni and lately the only cleansing that i can motivate my lazy ass to do is by combining visualization and tea (when it comes to myself) which sometimes makes me feel like a joke of a witch😅 (also another cool thing, i love the warm feeling i get because i can tell myself that im part of the wonderlust coven♥️♥️♥️)
I do a deep cleanse every new moon and do a sorta "relaxed" cleanse every full moon ✨ Like, my full moon cleanse is: "okay, we got a lot of work, so let's enjoy our spoils," while my new moon cleansing is: "Okay, let's prepare for the new month!"
depends on what you believe in, because indigenous people don't believe that, we believe it takes away the "bad medicines" = negative energies we come across, but doesn't clear ALL energy. Smudging is done daily to 'cleanse", not strip.
Tomorrow’s the full moon January 10th 2020 at 2:21pm. It’s called the wolf moon, and will also be a lunar eclipse. If you want to practice your craft tomorrow would be the day to do it. Especially for cleansing yourself or your crystals and tools💕💕 just found this out so I thought I would share 😋
once upon time I was shrooming with friends at the beach, and this guy was bumping some beats and it felt good. the vibes were good. and then one of my witchy friends started burning incense and at first I was like yaasss and her boyfriend started asking us if we felt a negative energy. he kept saying there was something negative and my intuitive ass thought “it’s you bruh” after that the vibes were off and I had to walk away.
my fav way to cleanse is to use rain! Whenever there's a solid rain I open up all the windows and let the smell and sound and breeze to pull away all the bad energy from my home! I also like to cleanse all my glass tools with rain, especially jars/bottles
Try to remember that positive energy is not necessarily "good" energy and negative energy isn't necessarily "bad". There are some negative energies we would consider good, and some positive energies that cause harmful effects. Take ions for example. Positive ions are emitted by objects such as computers, televisions, light bulbs, cell phones, air pollution, and even paint (things we're surrounded by everyday), and can cause harmful effects such as anxiety, depression, breathing difficulty, headaches, and nausea. This positive energy is something you will be welcoming into your life if you only remove all negative energies and welcome all positive energies. You'll also be removing negative ions which are emitted by waterfalls, the ocean, mountains, trees, basically everything in nature that makes us feel good. You'd be removing energies that make you happy, as well as give you a general sense of well being, relieve stress, and boost energy. Not all negatives energies are unwanted. Instead of removing negative energies, I ask that all *incorrect* energies be removed and that the area, or object (or myself) be filled with energies that are correct and for my highest good. Just thought I'd share this for anybody who's been removing "negative" energies from everything and wondering why bad stuff keeps happening to them. It took me a long time to figure this out as well because our culture tells us that positive can only be good and negative can only be bad when the two are actually just opposite ends of a spectrum and carry no moral implications whatsoever. Be careful with your wording. The universe will take it literally whether you meant it or not.
When it comes to sprays, do floral sprays count as cleansing sprays or is it more of an energy booster? And when you're using salt, rice, the earth, how do you dispose of those and if need be could you use them again at a later date? Questions are open and inviting for all to answer 😊💗
Unless you have done something to the rice or the salt it should be safe to use as normal, for cooking and such. Alternatively you could put the rice in an old sock and microwave it to make a home made heat pouch. The earth will probably be fine to put outside or in /with a potted plant. Hope that helps :)
Floral room sprays are probably mostly just scent rather than cleansing, though if you were to add your intention I suppose they could actually make great energy boosters if the ingredients are real essential oils? I think this is more talking about things like Florida water and other infused, charged sprays that are made (I handmade mine with household ingredients so doesn’t cost me any extra) specifically for energy cleansing. ☺️💕
Her: Use music that feels uplifting. Me, Belting: HAD TO HAVE HIGH, HIGH HOPES FOR THE LIVING- (Also, though, I've had this pink salt lamp for a couple years now, and I put the jewelry I wear daily on it so I remember to put it on, and I just realized I've been cleaning them! 😲)
I use sage incense to cleanse and go in after that with sweet grass incense or rose. And I find sound cleansing in the form of clapping really helpful in corners that are hard to reach. I just imagine the soundwaves loosening up the energies so that I can then 'wipe the energies away'. I always imagine the energies like cobwebs and I use my sage incense sticks like a duster. When I bring back in the positive energies I imagine them coating my home and objects like a balm
That moment you hear sound is a good way to cleans your spacial energy. -Me when I was twelve, playing all my 10 music boxes to try drowning out my parents fighting for no reason again upstairs-
Almost my entire practice revolves around sound, it just feels so soulful and awakening for me, but it took me so long to realize it was a genuine form of practice because none of my searches brought it up!
I never thought anyone would understand cleansing. I couldn't explain why I told a monk Cleaning with an Inscent heals my illness. The monk didn't understand. I am so blessed to meet and connect with you. Amazing Videos. Namaste 🙏Looked forward to following and watching your videos UA-cam.
I cleanse my home once every two weeks , regularly cleanse my own engery , and I cleanse my area and the things I will use before spell work , warding, divination, ect.
I need to be more consistent cleaning my self more than anything. I’m an empath, I call my self an empath on steroids as I don’t only feel energy from living things, places, but in addition their physical illnesses. Thanks so much for the great advice.
About keeping your space clean... YESS Dude my room was so nasty from the pervious people who used it who we had to kick out(thats how i got he biggest room hehe) ive been leaving it for awhile because i wasnt able to paint it but yesterday i finally decided to start painting and scraping the ceiling of the nasty popcorn texture. My closet alone which i finished last night already is so much nicer and i can finally BREATHE in it. The back wall is sage green and the ceiling and walls are pure white instesd of cigarette stained offwhite that just makes you feel gross and dingy. Im going the rest of my room today wall by wall. Ever since i started woring on my energy sensing more i can feel wvery single change in energy and not only do the colors in my room evoke better emotions the walls being clean and the room being clean for once and actually being bright ALLL of the negative energy just WOOSHED out of here. Im also getting new furniture and i just ordered a loft bed to save space and adding fake and real greenery in my room. The energy is so much better just from changing up my space
Hi Olivia! I love this video, mainly because I had to find my own way of cleansing and I had the idea of making a room spray and I was delighted when you mentioned making sprays! I made my own basil, lemon and thyme spray and though it doesn’t smell of much, it feels fresh and clear. It’s also perfect because I can’t use incense or burn anything on my home. I also remember, as a kid, getting rid of headaches by visualising a blue, healing light ‘scanning’ my brain and pushing the red, painful light away, so I guess I could always use visualisation, too! I never even knew about healing using colour or visualisation anyways, I just thought it was my brain being tricked into not hurting 🤣
I'm just 15 but I was so curious from my childhood about witch stuffs and your videos just completely changed my way of thinking and I've started few routines .I'm really thankful to people like you making such videos.
Oh damn, i've been burning dragons blood and sandlewood for years in my bedroom. Like almost every single night, i wonder if that's had an effect beyond my room permanently smelling of incense? The description of items feeling like their batteries aren't fully charged actually makes a lot of sense.
i love you olivia you really are my favorite witch on all the social media platforms and idk the vibe you give i can feel it through the screen i really like the way you do things! you're really inspiring and relatable 🤣 and yeah i feel like i was meant to cross paths with you for some reason all your videos are the best and biggest help and i really appreciate it sis🖤 also this really suits you! it's nice to see people found their purpose and really doing their thing in their element i really can't see you doing anything else! 👏🏼🖤
Music (for me) is one of the most powerful 'sounds' in my craft. Music can make you cry...or very happy. Some can make you feel POWERFUL. It can make 'visualization' easier.(it did for me in the beginning & I've held on to it all these yrs). Excellent video Olivia..🙏🖤
Listening to you talk about witchcraft has such a strong calming effect on my mood. I can tell you really love and study your craft in depth based on the intricate details in each video. Your the 1st online witch that I truly trust to deliver information based on your experiences. Great video!
I'm gonna be honest, my uplifting music is either rock or game music, like final fantasy. I don't know if that makes any difference. I feel like whatever helps you feel better is what should be played, if you're wanting some music. I love your set up.
I am very grumpy in the morning and can't open my windows during the day (ground floor) so the negativity just sits there while I am in school. Basically the first thing I do when I come home is opening the windows and cleansing - I just walk around ringing my sleigh bells.
Me when my sigils stop working and my spell is ineffective and divination is coming suspiciously easy to me and my period ended on day 1 because of zeus tings and im either cursed or its pms: 👁👄👁
Hi Olivia! Have you ever thought about writing a book on the basics of witchcraft? I know there are already so many out there, but I've struggled to find any that I like, and always find myself coming to your videos for information instead! You have such a way with laying out information clearly, and you the amount of research and collaborations with other practitioners is so great to see; it definitely gives me the confidence to know that you are presenting solid, researched information. It has helped me in the start of my journey so much, but I admit, I love studying with a book and notebook and pen! A book by you would be such a joy to read and learn from!
A really good cleansing hack if you have a busy schedule like most of us do. If you can do smoke cleansing and you need to cleanse your house, use your furnace if you have one and let the furnace pull the smoke all through your house. I know it may sound like a lazy way if doing it but it is fast and effective
Thank you sooo much for these videos you do. I find what you share to be light and uplifting. So I just wanted to also share that in a quick rush to rid myself of some negative energy I will use a bowl of warm water and some salt. I then put my hands in this bowl for at least 2 minutes to 5 minutes. I can feel the energy change happening. When done; and this is important, you want to dump this water in your toilet pit the lid down and flush. This gets the negative energy out of the ho.e quickly and safely. After I feel refreshed and later I can do a better and deeper self cleanse.
Your videos are so light they remind me of when I sat at the kitchen table and talked with my mother as a child. It relaxes me and clears some of the negativity of the world. So young but such a positive force in the world. Keep it up
Hello, me and my husband watched you last night. We did a cleansing on me, and wow I feel so much rested. All the pain around my entire body went away. I will continue to follow you Mija you are an amazing spiritual woman.
I'm a very new witch and your videos have been so so helpful! I love your energy and you have helped me so much in learning all this new stuff, thanks so much!
Just cleansed my home office, where I've been working for 9 weeks and counting due to coronavirus, with some sandalwood. Smells nice, feels nice :) I've also used salt to cleanse crystals I've had for years when I used to practice (like, over a decade ago). I made moon water! Lots of little simple steps, which I like. Olivia you've brought me back to practice, with your practical approach. Thank you!
Diffusers are great for cleansing and purifying your house. Better Homes and Garden have diffusers that are compatible with both essential oils and warming oils. And their inexpensive too.
My home was under fire watch we had to evacuate luckily our home is safe but get to return today to our land amd hope our wildlife friends are still there. This is very helpful. I'm wanting to do a deep cleanse as since we have been in this home it's like we are getting such tough love testings for energies expecting high expectations from us but it's really starting to wear us out. Cuz first it started with my mother-in-law who we were living with. She went into foreclosure but was able to do a quick sell and we thought we were fine at least giving me time to get our things and then called us and told us we only had a couple days to get our things so we pushed and ask for help from multiple sources got out of there just totally find out we didn't have to rush that it was actually the first set time all along and that there was a mistake in the office my mother-in-law got off pretty lucky and was able to at least get enough money off of the house to buy herself a travel trailer and find a place to park it I was able to buy myself some land and a house off grid with money that I had gotten from an inheritance and ever since that's moving it is just been a really big stress out wreck. 41 we've been fighting to figure out the solar power the second thing was getting broken into during the process of moving people constantly cutting our fencing down and tearing down our no trespassing signs and until I made the threat to shoot them they were not stopping but then once I made the threat all over my local Facebook page that if people weren't trespassed they would end up meeting my 9 mil which I'm surprised I did not get flagged for. But at least by that time the thieving had stopped. Another than just a bunch of little things here and there that's just causing us stress or slight inconveniences. We've been pretty much fighting all those off and now my home had been put under evacuation because some idiot decided to go blow off fireworks catch his car on fire in his car exploded and caused a big huge wildfire. Lucky enough for us though we get to return home tonight but it's just the stress of literally working for 12 to 14 hours or more a day with just packing things and unpacking them and then having to fight with getting into a whole new routine that we are not used to on top of having a job and also having to break in between the rest time so that I could earn a paycheck we are just getting extremely physically and mentally tired and it just seems like the tests are just not stopping but hopefully whatever it is it's draining our energy and causing us such ill-luck needs to go
when i moved into my home that now own, it was filthy i mean funky and you know if they couldn't keep the house clean their personal life is cluttered all up to and prob. back and forth what i felt in my home, so i use lavender oil, patchouli, mixed with blessed water as a spritzeR with a type of crystal that i need to work with for a specific degree of energy i want it to have and be working toward...I use my own that i make which is palo santo sticks and let soak in water with a piece/one leaf tore into the number 3 of sage and a piece of rose and or smokey and clear quartz just to get that positive scent and feel...I can't hardly do the smoke not unless i have it outside but i love the sprays they seem to work at a distance better for me....and doesn't come back as quick you know that funky energy that always wants to creep back in..well that's what im talkin about...love the vid...great refresher...
A question from someone still learning - if I enchant an accessory, but it feels as if it needs cleansing, would I be able to do that without cleansing away the enchantment? Does specifically cleansing away only negative energy allow the enchantment to remain? And what level of cleansing effect would moonwater (my primary cleansing tool) have on such an object? Thanks to everyone who replies to help!
I think it’ll stay, but if that’s an issue, either don’t use sage or salt. Or cleanse the object and perform the enchantment again to reaffirm it’s magic.
If it is something that I use regularly, I will use moon water from the same moon phase the charm was created in. Then, at minimum, spend a few moments to "feed" or re-charge the charm with the original intent. If you don't have water, or water is not appropriate, then moonlight itself.
My brother use his deep freezer for clansing .Whatever he wants to cleans ,he just stuck the item for 24 hours in the freezer .Easy and it works .Blessed BE
Thank you for reminding me to do the physical cleaning part of cleansing lol. It’s the thing I forget the most when cleansing, that and cleansing myself. I’ve been here for a while now and really haven’t interacted with anyone. Feeling super isolated from everything right now and could really use some connection and co-creation from fellow witches. Wondering if there’s a discord server welcoming in witches?
Omg, i just watched you talk about burning sage and i have to say I LOVE burning sage. It was my understanding that burning sage like incense helped with depression. During covid in 2020, i suffered major losses in my life and was overwhelmed with grief and burned sage like crazy. Much to my husbands dismay bc it kept setting off the smoke alarms. Lol But the "bleaching" effect you talking about could help explain why ive had a hard time feeling positive about all the good stuff in my life. Ive come through the depression but have a hard time getting motivated. Thank you for that tidbit in this video 👍😁
Little safety information, be careful smoke cleansing if you have pets or roommates, ask your roommates if they have any issues with smoke or incense, especially if they have asthma. If you have dogs or cats keep them out of the room until the smoke is totally clear. If you have pocket pets, reptiles, amphibians, or birds then you're better off never ever burning anything in your home. Especially birds, reptiles or amphibians, they have very delicate lungs.
Wow they should teach this in schools and you should be a professor. Lord I learned and got endless confirmation of what I already knew. Thanks sis. Love you🤍✝️
So I've heard a lot that sage only gets rid of energy, good or bad, but I just watched a video of a native woman and her grand daughter talking about sage and she said that sage clears away the negative **and** brings in the positive.
Wow! You mention cleansing with sound at 06:00 so off I hopped to spotify, found a playlist, then a track called “Awakening Intuition” and loved it. Music is so powerful for me. I have used dancing to dissipate bad feelings and enhance good ones since I was a child. Just lately I’ve grown more conscious about doing this. But to think that I can put my crystals in front of a speaker and cleanse them that way really speaks to me. Thanks for enriching my life!
You are doing very good work by working with your subject in order to provide the information with a simple but complete way. Very useful for those who trying to figure out what to do.
got a new place, and its the first time I'm cleansing. I have sage incense and jasmine (I love jasmine) and it has a little garden! so excited for the spring!
I had to come back and thank you for this video! (or maybe it’s another video of yours) 🤔 Anyway, my apartment is a disaster because I feel lost/stressed with the pandemic, etc. 😜 I’ve tried Everything!!! I took your advice...set a timer & cleaned for an hour, 15 minute break, clean for another hour, sat down with a coffee for 15, etc. It’s WORKING!! 🙌✨💞 Thank you so much for this super-effective solution to my cluttered messy apartment! I’m getting back into the craft & have been binge-watching your videos.🖤
You said rosemary can be used as insence, I have a lot of it in my back yard. Could I cut some rosemary and burn it to use as insence? I am a beginner so sorry if this is a dumb question.
I am spiritual ..walking into positivity light for greater good energy ⭐️Universe ..a beginner with Incense, cleansing for protection,crystals and candles.I’m learning alot from you .Very informative Thank you for this amazing video 🙂⭐️ 🌙💫🌟
I tend to like visualization for cleansing because I'm still a baby witch and I don't trust myself with other types but it's easy to hold my crystals or candles and just work on emotion and will. I think it helps that I've had all my rocks and crystals for several years and they know me, so it feels... easier? To work with them. Anyway thank you for reminding me, I have a whole box full of crystals and stones that need some love.
Haha "and if you have a vagina it's also good for that" I love it made me laugh. That sounds like something I would say innocently of course, like a tidbit of Knoledge. I love watching your videos. You have a great calming voice.
New Moon is a good time to start a new project or task. Full Moon is a time to start a period of recharging and rest. Very nice description of the background and details. Thank you for going in-depth with this video.
I definitely needed this video after all the crap my family is going through. I knew sage is a good cleansing herb but was never told it would get rid if both types of energy. Any recommended herbs, incense and oils to drive away the Evil Eye or heavy amounts of bad luck?
I like that term, unwanted energies... I don't believe in evil or evil energies or entities... so energy can be old or stale or misplaced, or cluttered... I think of spiritual cleansing sort of like defragging a device, or sweeping or decluttering. When you sweep the floor, you don't think of sand and crumbs as "evil," yet we know they need to be cleaned up. To me, "evil" is a bit of a scare tactic. So I'm just delighted to see a cleaning video that doesn't use that terminology.
After I do a ritual when I can I would cleanse the house afterwards to make sure the energies are gone and to allow the good energies in again. This is a beautiful video as well I get to learn so much.
That company that makes the chocolate candy cane tea is MY FAVORITE and I'm about an hour and a half or so away from St. Augustine. I need to go back there because it's been a while since I've been to St. Augustine.
Other good universal cleanser is the Selenite ,whatever jewel or any other crystall i get ,i just place them over a chunk odf Selenite over night and is done .Good alternative is to bury in consecrated salt for24 hour but you have to dispose the salt thereafter.
I was just in the Spice and Tea Exchange in St.Augustine this week! I bought the loose leaf jasmin tea and creme brulee early grey tea. I thought of Olivia when I bought it too!
Great video, but just a note of caution to the newer witches out there since this is a 101 video: not all crystals should be cleansed in running water. Some can dissolve when placed in water, others can synthesize toxic materials when placed in water for too long. Some crystals to avoid water cleansing are Selenite, Malachite, Lapis Lazuli, Fluorite, Calcite, Desert Rose, Labradorite, or Halite, just off the top of my head.

Blessed be everyone. 🖤
Bobi Papaleo I was actually just talking to friend about crystals chemical reactions in a crystal shop the other day. Also, be careful with Himalayan salt lamps. Those can have a bad reaction for cats when they lick the salt.
My go to crystal is still clear quartz for getting rid of bad dreams and ground out. I found it’s a good catch all of you don’t have any specific stone on hand, and easy to cleanse with water or sun light to reset.
Totally forgot to add this in there(since I don't work with crystals all too much). Thank you for this!
Bobi Papaleo Is black tourmaline safe to be cleansed under running water?
@@jamisonlamkin5576 Black tourmaline is fine with water. Or use the salt method as I mentioned above.
gusmonster59 Thank you!
One way I love cleansing my home is when its raining I open all my windows and doors including the front door. The sound and breeze coming from the rain cleanses the energy in my home and charges it. It's also super peaceful and smells so nice.
Love idea
Great idea. Thank you! This totally resonates with me. I love the sound, smell and energy of but never thought of actually using it for magical purposes.
That's the negative ions she mentioned. I'd read about that a while back and started doing it too. 😉
That is fantastic. The air is so crisp after/during rain
UGHHHH that sounds so amazing! I love the rain so much. But I could never leave my doors open for too long because my cats would zoom out of them immediately 😂
Little safety tip for those unaware about the sun and stones like quartz!

This is really important damn, never thought
oops
. omm
This is why, instead of a crystal ball, I use a cube of tungsten
*I cleanse my room every day because my kids come in my room daily with their negativity lol* 🤦♀️😂
😂😂good one
I'm feeling this 100% 🤣🤣😭
It's the truth and sage runs my 12 year old off faster than chores 🙌😂😭
Period 😭😂😭
To be honest 🤭😭😅😅😂🤣🤣🤣😭
When she said pot of dirt my mind went to “IVE GOT A JAR OF DIRT IVE GOT A JAR OF DIRTT”
Haha yess im not the only one 🤣
AND GUESS WHAT’S INSIIIIIIIDE IIIIIT!!
(Stuff being cleansed)
@@procrastinator99 Ha Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah so funny
me too haha
Omg yes lol
i’ve been on and off trying to get into the witch community but i keep getting discouraged by the lack of sincere guidance. but now that i’ve found your channel i feel like i can finally start the journey!
I feel the same way! There are a few channels with good info but sometimes there's too much ego & flashiness. Just found this channel and it's perfect
@@smokeytaboo1756 I agree 100%
There a different practices that witches do and finding the right witch teacher is a great start. If you find a teacher that isn't into the same areas of magick as you, you can find yourself doing things that aren't as easy or comprehensive
Same, there’s either advanced witches living their life or absolute beginners in each community I’ve found and it’s hard to find any proper research - with how popular the craft is - without being mislead.
To everyone in this comment section I am a baby witch myself and I found that the book 'wiccapedia' was super helpful for me :)
2:27 first way to cleanse is cleaning your surroundings
2:51 smoke cleansing
4:41 spray cleansing is a good substitute for smoke cleansing in case you don't have access to the smoke cleansing part
5:25 sounds
6:54 running water
There are more but those are the only one I could catch 🖤
Burying in the earth
Selinite (I think she said selinite)
Sunlight
Moonlight
Cleansing baths
Blessed and cleansed soaps
Visualization
Love you for this ❤️😘
@@ultravioletpisces3666 love you too 😂thanks for writing this
I like taking a shower and envisioning all the negative energy going down the drain. You can put a symbol symbol of protection on your wash cloth with your favorite liquid soap and soap up your body . I really love your your videos. They are just so relaxing.
I use this too and can recommend this to everyone 🌟
Great idea
Thanks for this idea :)
Good one
Ryan Linde i mean tobacco can release tension and stress, but it can get dirty afterward.
another note about sage: if you are not Native/are obtaining sage from someone who is not, it's probably best not to use it!! because of the increased demand, sage is not being harvested correctly and it's becoming harder for Natives to obtain. using sage for weekly or monthly cleansing is not sustainable at all, especially when it's so important in many Native spiritual practices. unless it's part of your culture, try using another herb like rosemary :)
This ^
Yasss we love an educated queen! Queen Sophia 💛👏👏
I've read that it's only white sage that's used in closed practices. Is it every type of sage?
I think blue sage rather than white sage is a better alternative
@@peachy1295 I'm pretty sure blue sage is a also a closed practice? But I could be wrong. Your best bet is honestly garden sage or like OP said rosemary
My favourite part about the practice: How contagious the positivity is :3
That’s so true!
Absolutely agree, cleansing is so important (and we could all do more)
Friendly reminders: DO NOT CLEANSE SELENITE WITH WATER IT WILL DETERIORATE. Same goes with most 'ite' suffix stones.
Malachite is toxic when wet so, be extra careful.
Be sure to research and know your Crystals inside and out prior to doing anything with them!
Great video! Very insightful and lovely!
You're a lovely teacher. Cleansing is so important! If someone's on their first steps of their path, I'd say start with cleansing. It'll teach you so much about the energies that you're setting out to work with, and it's fairly straightforward. Plus, like Olivia said, it's the very foundation of witchcraft. I like to call it spiritual hygiene. It's just something you need to be doing, for your own good.
I agree with spray being more concentrated and a bit harder to use - everyone who's tried to cleanse a whole house with a squirt bottle knows what I'm talking about 😂 I do, however, find it to be a lovely method to cleanse corners that are hard to reach, like up in the ceiling. It's also such a nice way to cleanse old furniture that you take into your home. I use moon water, a bit of vinegar and whatever herbs/essential oils I need for that purpose. No salt in furniture cleansing spray, as it might damage the material. Oh, and spraying plain moon water on your plants does them really really good.
I love using sound too. It's so effective for waking up that stagnant energy that accumulates in corners, unused rooms, closets... A few claps and then some smoke in places where bad energy's accumulated, or the soft jingle of a bell in places where the energy just need a gentle wake up and lift. And it's so logical. I mean, we all know how much music can change the mood of a crowd, or in a room. Happy music will make people feel at ease, and aggressive music may make you feel angry or energised 🤷🏼♀️ Sound shifts energy and that's that.
Filippa Skog I love the sound of singing bowls! But unfortunately I live in a small housing area and will probably annoy my family members and a few neighbours 🤣 although, I did make a lovely cleansing spray out of lemon, basil and thyme, and even though it’s harder to use, it does make my room smell fresher and clearer.
@@laurabowden5 I love the sound of singing bowls too! 😍 My mother found one in a flea market for $5 not long ago, they probably thought it was a really ineffective pestle and mortar 😂 Too bad she's a practitioner too, or I'd claim it in a heartbeat. Those things are NOT cheap!
It sounds like a lovely spray!
Filippa Skog I know right!!! Which is probably why I’ve been deterred from buying them in the first place 😭 it is!! It’s so easy to make, too, and perfect for secret practitioners like me who can just say that they want a ‘nice smelling room spray’ 🤣
Can I use candles to cleanse jars for spell jars? I’m a baby witch and I don’t have easy access to incenses
@@hildureftirnafn8291 hell yeah u can ! I turn anti clockwise to cleanse above the flame
Literally every time a new video comes to an end I say "f*ck I love her" .. lol 😎
I honestly was just thinking that.
Aw
honestly same.
❤️❤️❤️
I thought I would mention this because I just learned it myself and was completely blown away after so many years, is that some fast burning charcoal discs and many incense brands in particular have really bad, toxic ingredients!😵 Like some sticks even have formaldehyde that many have been inhaling on top of the smoke in general.
So please, please do your research before purchasing these items!
There are blocks of bamboo charcoal, usually Japanese, that do not contain any accelerants like the potassium nitrate (aka salt petre) found in "quick light" charcoal discs. While any charcoal needs to be in a ventilated area since carbon monoxide is a by-product of of any combustion, the Japanese are very serious about their incense and prefer the natural bamboo charcoal since is does not add a burning smell to the incense.
MoonSinger I don’t really use charcoal, I haven’t quite gotten there, so thank you for providing some info on that. I’ve seen people use charcoal blocks instead of the round one shown in the video, now it makes sense why.
When I’m not using Palo Santo, I mostly use incense sticks and I really love the brand Nitiraj. It’s a Masala dipped incense, all natural, has a variety of scents, and they’re pretty good quality. They also burn longer too.
@@BlackThorndRose You're welcome!
BlackThornRose127 I am actually sensitive to most incense and allergic to certain scents. I like the idea of bamboo charcoal.
I’ve been feeling run down and I realize I haven’t cleansed. I remember people telling me I was glowing and I couldn’t figure out why. Now I realize I’d recently saged and had a cleansing bath/tea and set intentions with candles and crystals 🥰
I love how Olivia's videos always motivate me to focus on my practice, since i tend to neglect it a lot due to Uni and lately the only cleansing that i can motivate my lazy ass to do is by combining visualization and tea (when it comes to myself) which sometimes makes me feel like a joke of a witch😅 (also another cool thing, i love the warm feeling i get because i can tell myself that im part of the wonderlust coven♥️♥️♥️)
Trust me you're not alone 💗 You're trying your best and that's what matters though
"Remember where you bury your items for cleansing"
I now imagine a squirrel witch doing this :D
awww:)
I do a deep cleanse every new moon and do a sorta "relaxed" cleanse every full moon ✨ Like, my full moon cleanse is: "okay, we got a lot of work, so let's enjoy our spoils," while my new moon cleansing is: "Okay, let's prepare for the new month!"
I didn’t know sage removes all energy
depends on what you believe in, because indigenous people don't believe that, we believe it takes away the "bad medicines" = negative energies we come across, but doesn't clear ALL energy. Smudging is done daily to 'cleanse", not strip.
"Use uplifting music"
Me: plays uptown funk
*SAY WHAAAAAATTT?!?!*
Tomorrow’s the full moon January 10th 2020 at 2:21pm. It’s called the wolf moon, and will also be a lunar eclipse. If you want to practice your craft tomorrow would be the day to do it. Especially for cleansing yourself or your crystals and tools💕💕 just found this out so I thought I would share 😋
once upon time I was shrooming with friends at the beach, and this guy was bumping some beats and it felt good. the vibes were good. and then one of my witchy friends started burning incense and at first I was like yaasss and her boyfriend started asking us if we felt a negative energy. he kept saying there was something negative and my intuitive ass thought “it’s you bruh” after that the vibes were off and I had to walk away.
my fav way to cleanse is to use rain! Whenever there's a solid rain I open up all the windows and let the smell and sound and breeze to pull away all the bad energy from my home!
I also like to cleanse all my glass tools with rain, especially jars/bottles
Try to remember that positive energy is not necessarily "good" energy and negative energy isn't necessarily "bad".
There are some negative energies we would consider good, and some positive energies that cause harmful effects.
Take ions for example. Positive ions are emitted by objects such as computers, televisions, light bulbs, cell phones, air pollution, and even paint (things we're surrounded by everyday), and can cause harmful effects such as anxiety, depression, breathing difficulty, headaches, and nausea.
This positive energy is something you will be welcoming into your life if you only remove all negative energies and welcome all positive energies. You'll also be removing negative ions which are emitted by waterfalls, the ocean, mountains, trees, basically everything in nature that makes us feel good. You'd be removing energies that make you happy, as well as give you a general sense of well being, relieve stress, and boost energy. Not all negatives energies are unwanted.
Instead of removing negative energies, I ask that all *incorrect* energies be removed and that the area, or object (or myself) be filled with energies that are correct and for my highest good.
Just thought I'd share this for anybody who's been removing "negative" energies from everything and wondering why bad stuff keeps happening to them. It took me a long time to figure this out as well because our culture tells us that positive can only be good and negative can only be bad when the two are actually just opposite ends of a spectrum and carry no moral implications whatsoever. Be careful with your wording. The universe will take it literally whether you meant it or not.
When it comes to sprays, do floral sprays count as cleansing sprays or is it more of an energy booster? And when you're using salt, rice, the earth, how do you dispose of those and if need be could you use them again at a later date? Questions are open and inviting for all to answer 😊💗
Unless you have done something to the rice or the salt it should be safe to use as normal, for cooking and such. Alternatively you could put the rice in an old sock and microwave it to make a home made heat pouch. The earth will probably be fine to put outside or in /with a potted plant. Hope that helps :)
Floral room sprays are probably mostly just scent rather than cleansing, though if you were to add your intention I suppose they could actually make great energy boosters if the ingredients are real essential oils? I think this is more talking about things like Florida water and other infused, charged sprays that are made (I handmade mine with household ingredients so doesn’t cost me any extra) specifically for energy cleansing. ☺️💕
Sage is a spiritual bleach xD
I will adapt this phrase into my witchcraft vocabulary :D
Her: Use music that feels uplifting.
Me, Belting: HAD TO HAVE HIGH, HIGH HOPES FOR THE LIVING-
(Also, though, I've had this pink salt lamp for a couple years now, and I put the jewelry I wear daily on it so I remember to put it on, and I just realized I've been cleaning them! 😲)
What are your thoughts on Himalayan salt lamps, and their ability to cleanse a room or space?
I use sage incense to cleanse and go in after that with sweet grass incense or rose.
And I find sound cleansing in the form of clapping really helpful in corners that are hard to reach. I just imagine the soundwaves loosening up the energies so that I can then 'wipe the energies away'. I always imagine the energies like cobwebs and I use my sage incense sticks like a duster. When I bring back in the positive energies I imagine them coating my home and objects like a balm
That moment you hear sound is a good way to cleans your spacial energy.
-Me when I was twelve, playing all my 10 music boxes to try drowning out my parents fighting for no reason again upstairs-
Almost my entire practice revolves around sound, it just feels so soulful and awakening for me, but it took me so long to realize it was a genuine form of practice because none of my searches brought it up!
I never thought anyone would understand cleansing. I couldn't explain why I told a monk Cleaning with an Inscent heals my illness. The monk didn't understand. I am so blessed to meet and connect with you.
Amazing Videos. Namaste 🙏Looked forward to following and watching your videos UA-cam.
"Use music that is uplifting"
Me: plays Celtic music
honestly same! celtic music is good for the soul :)
I Irish and I use Irish and celtic songs that we learned at school that make me happy
Forgot to add a link for that tea infuser! :O
I want it so bad ! 😍
I was looking for that! Lol
I was looking for that too 😫 I've been needing one so badly, this one seems perfect
Me tooo 😭😭😭
I added it! Sorry about that~
I like to make cleansing bundles with juniper , lavender , and rosemary to cleanse my home.
I cleanse my home once every two weeks , regularly cleanse my own engery , and I cleanse my area and the things I will use before spell work , warding, divination, ect.
I need to be more consistent cleaning my self more than anything. I’m an empath, I call my self an empath on steroids as I don’t only feel energy from living things, places, but in addition their physical illnesses. Thanks so much for the great advice.
About keeping your space clean... YESS Dude my room was so nasty from the pervious people who used it who we had to kick out(thats how i got he biggest room hehe) ive been leaving it for awhile because i wasnt able to paint it but yesterday i finally decided to start painting and scraping the ceiling of the nasty popcorn texture. My closet alone which i finished last night already is so much nicer and i can finally BREATHE in it. The back wall is sage green and the ceiling and walls are pure white instesd of cigarette stained offwhite that just makes you feel gross and dingy. Im going the rest of my room today wall by wall. Ever since i started woring on my energy sensing more i can feel wvery single change in energy and not only do the colors in my room evoke better emotions the walls being clean and the room being clean for once and actually being bright ALLL of the negative energy just WOOSHED out of here. Im also getting new furniture and i just ordered a loft bed to save space and adding fake and real greenery in my room. The energy is so much better just from changing up my space
Hi Olivia! I love this video, mainly because I had to find my own way of cleansing and I had the idea of making a room spray and I was delighted when you mentioned making sprays! I made my own basil, lemon and thyme spray and though it doesn’t smell of much, it feels fresh and clear. It’s also perfect because I can’t use incense or burn anything on my home.
I also remember, as a kid, getting rid of headaches by visualising a blue, healing light ‘scanning’ my brain and pushing the red, painful light away, so I guess I could always use visualisation, too! I never even knew about healing using colour or visualisation anyways, I just thought it was my brain being tricked into not hurting 🤣
I'm just 15 but I was so curious from my childhood about witch stuffs and your videos just completely changed my way of thinking and I've started few routines .I'm really thankful to people like you making such videos.
Oh damn, i've been burning dragons blood and sandlewood for years in my bedroom. Like almost every single night, i wonder if that's had an effect beyond my room permanently smelling of incense?
The description of items feeling like their batteries aren't fully charged actually makes a lot of sense.
i love you olivia you really are my favorite witch on all the social media platforms and idk the vibe you give i can feel it through the screen i really like the way you do things! you're really inspiring and relatable 🤣 and yeah i feel like i was meant to cross paths with you for some reason all your videos are the best and biggest help and i really appreciate it sis🖤
also this really suits you! it's nice to see people found their purpose and really doing their thing in their element i really can't see you doing anything else! 👏🏼🖤
Music (for me) is one of the most powerful 'sounds' in my craft. Music can make you cry...or very happy. Some can make you feel POWERFUL. It can make 'visualization' easier.(it did for me in the beginning & I've held on to it all these yrs). Excellent video Olivia..🙏🖤
Listening to you talk about witchcraft has such a strong calming effect on my mood. I can tell you really love and study your craft in depth based on the intricate details in each video. Your the 1st online witch that I truly trust to deliver information based on your experiences. Great video!
I'm gonna be honest, my uplifting music is either rock or game music, like final fantasy. I don't know if that makes any difference. I feel like whatever helps you feel better is what should be played, if you're wanting some music. I love your set up.
I am very grumpy in the morning and can't open my windows during the day (ground floor) so the negativity just sits there while I am in school. Basically the first thing I do when I come home is opening the windows and cleansing - I just walk around ringing my sleigh bells.
Your tea cup is beautiful!
Me when my sigils stop working and my spell is ineffective and divination is coming suspiciously easy to me and my period ended on day 1 because of zeus tings and im either cursed or its pms: 👁👄👁
Hi Olivia! Have you ever thought about writing a book on the basics of witchcraft? I know there are already so many out there, but I've struggled to find any that I like, and always find myself coming to your videos for information instead! You have such a way with laying out information clearly, and you the amount of research and collaborations with other practitioners is so great to see; it definitely gives me the confidence to know that you are presenting solid, researched information. It has helped me in the start of my journey so much, but I admit, I love studying with a book and notebook and pen! A book by you would be such a joy to read and learn from!
A really good cleansing hack if you have a busy schedule like most of us do. If you can do smoke cleansing and you need to cleanse your house, use your furnace if you have one and let the furnace pull the smoke all through your house. I know it may sound like a lazy way if doing it but it is fast and effective
Thank you sooo much for these videos you do. I find what you share to be light and uplifting. So I just wanted to also share that in a quick rush to rid myself of some negative energy I will use a bowl of warm water and some salt. I then put my hands in this bowl for at least 2 minutes to 5 minutes. I can feel the energy change happening. When done; and this is important, you want to dump this water in your toilet pit the lid down and flush. This gets the negative energy out of the ho.e quickly and safely. After I feel refreshed and later I can do a better and deeper self cleanse.
Your videos are so light they remind me of when I sat at the kitchen table and talked with my mother as a child. It relaxes me and clears some of the negativity of the world. So young but such a positive force in the world. Keep it up
Hello, me and my husband watched you last night. We did a cleansing on me, and wow I feel so much rested. All the pain around my entire body went away. I will continue to follow you Mija you are an amazing spiritual woman.
I'm incredibly grateful to have found your channel, thank you for your kindness and care ❤
Peace,love & light 🤍 upon you sis, May you manifest all your heart desires! 🙏
I'm a baby witch and your chanel is a blessing omg I was getting anxious and overwhelmed before since I didn't know where to start
tysm ily🥺💖💖
I'm a very new witch and your videos have been so so helpful! I love your energy and you have helped me so much in learning all this new stuff, thanks so much!
Just cleansed my home office, where I've been working for 9 weeks and counting due to coronavirus, with some sandalwood. Smells nice, feels nice :) I've also used salt to cleanse crystals I've had for years when I used to practice (like, over a decade ago). I made moon water!
Lots of little simple steps, which I like. Olivia you've brought me back to practice, with your practical approach. Thank you!
Diffusers are great for cleansing and purifying your house. Better Homes and Garden have diffusers that are compatible with both essential oils and warming oils. And their inexpensive too.
My home was under fire watch we had to evacuate luckily our home is safe but get to return today to our land amd hope our wildlife friends are still there. This is very helpful. I'm wanting to do a deep cleanse as since we have been in this home it's like we are getting such tough love testings for energies expecting high expectations from us but it's really starting to wear us out. Cuz first it started with my mother-in-law who we were living with. She went into foreclosure but was able to do a quick sell and we thought we were fine at least giving me time to get our things and then called us and told us we only had a couple days to get our things so we pushed and ask for help from multiple sources got out of there just totally find out we didn't have to rush that it was actually the first set time all along and that there was a mistake in the office my mother-in-law got off pretty lucky and was able to at least get enough money off of the house to buy herself a travel trailer and find a place to park it I was able to buy myself some land and a house off grid with money that I had gotten from an inheritance and ever since that's moving it is just been a really big stress out wreck. 41 we've been fighting to figure out the solar power the second thing was getting broken into during the process of moving people constantly cutting our fencing down and tearing down our no trespassing signs and until I made the threat to shoot them they were not stopping but then once I made the threat all over my local Facebook page that if people weren't trespassed they would end up meeting my 9 mil which I'm surprised I did not get flagged for. But at least by that time the thieving had stopped. Another than just a bunch of little things here and there that's just causing us stress or slight inconveniences. We've been pretty much fighting all those off and now my home had been put under evacuation because some idiot decided to go blow off fireworks catch his car on fire in his car exploded and caused a big huge wildfire. Lucky enough for us though we get to return home tonight but it's just the stress of literally working for 12 to 14 hours or more a day with just packing things and unpacking them and then having to fight with getting into a whole new routine that we are not used to on top of having a job and also having to break in between the rest time so that I could earn a paycheck we are just getting extremely physically and mentally tired and it just seems like the tests are just not stopping but hopefully whatever it is it's draining our energy and causing us such ill-luck needs to go
when i moved into my home that now own, it was filthy i mean funky and you know if they couldn't keep the house clean their personal life is cluttered all up to and prob. back and forth what i felt in my home, so i use lavender oil, patchouli, mixed with blessed water as a spritzeR with a type of crystal that i need to work with for a specific degree of energy i want it to have and be working toward...I use my own that i make which is palo santo sticks and let soak in water with a piece/one leaf tore into the number 3 of sage and a piece of rose and or smokey and clear quartz just to get that positive scent and feel...I can't hardly do the smoke not unless i have it outside but i love the sprays they seem to work at a distance better for me....and doesn't come back as quick you know that funky energy that always wants to creep back in..well that's what im talkin about...love the vid...great refresher...
A question from someone still learning - if I enchant an accessory, but it feels as if it needs cleansing, would I be able to do that without cleansing away the enchantment? Does specifically cleansing away only negative energy allow the enchantment to remain? And what level of cleansing effect would moonwater (my primary cleansing tool) have on such an object? Thanks to everyone who replies to help!
I think it’ll stay, but if that’s an issue, either don’t use sage or salt.
Or cleanse the object and perform the enchantment again to reaffirm it’s magic.
It's good to re enchant something every 3 months or so, so it can work properly
If it is something that I use regularly, I will use moon water from the same moon phase the charm was created in. Then, at minimum, spend a few moments to "feed" or re-charge the charm with the original intent. If you don't have water, or water is not appropriate, then moonlight itself.
It explains a lot, the sage bleaching!
I recently bought a tuning fork to cleanse my Crystals and myself and it really helps. I can really feel the difference.
I've just cleased my house!!! Washed all the floors downstairs.
I had used
Dry rosemary,
White vinegar,
Full moon water.
Love your channel!!! Xx
My brother use his deep freezer for clansing .Whatever he wants to cleans ,he just stuck the item for 24 hours in the freezer .Easy and it works .Blessed BE
Thank you for reminding me to do the physical cleaning part of cleansing lol. It’s the thing I forget the most when cleansing, that and cleansing myself.
I’ve been here for a while now and really haven’t interacted with anyone. Feeling super isolated from everything right now and could really use some connection and co-creation from fellow witches. Wondering if there’s a discord server welcoming in witches?
Omg, i just watched you talk about burning sage and i have to say I LOVE burning sage. It was my understanding that burning sage like incense helped with depression. During covid in 2020, i suffered major losses in my life and was overwhelmed with grief and burned sage like crazy. Much to my husbands dismay bc it kept setting off the smoke alarms. Lol But the "bleaching" effect you talking about could help explain why ive had a hard time feeling positive about all the good stuff in my life. Ive come through the depression but have a hard time getting motivated. Thank you for that tidbit in this video 👍😁
Little safety information, be careful smoke cleansing if you have pets or roommates, ask your roommates if they have any issues with smoke or incense, especially if they have asthma. If you have dogs or cats keep them out of the room until the smoke is totally clear. If you have pocket pets, reptiles, amphibians, or birds then you're better off never ever burning anything in your home. Especially birds, reptiles or amphibians, they have very delicate lungs.
Wow they should teach this in schools and you should be a professor. Lord I learned and got endless confirmation of what I already knew. Thanks sis. Love you🤍✝️
I use full moon water, lavender essential oil, salt, and florida water to make my cleansing spray.
So I've heard a lot that sage only gets rid of energy, good or bad, but I just watched a video of a native woman and her grand daughter talking about sage and she said that sage clears away the negative **and** brings in the positive.
Nice meeting you here.
Thank you,
Blessed be.
Wow! You mention cleansing with sound at 06:00 so off I hopped to spotify, found a playlist, then a track called “Awakening Intuition” and loved it. Music is so powerful for me. I have used dancing to dissipate bad feelings and enhance good ones since I was a child. Just lately I’ve grown more conscious about doing this. But to think that I can put my crystals in front of a speaker and cleanse them that way really speaks to me. Thanks for enriching my life!
You are doing very good work by working with your subject in order to provide the information with a simple but complete way. Very useful for those who trying to figure out what to do.
got a new place, and its the first time I'm cleansing. I have sage incense and jasmine (I love jasmine) and it has a little garden! so excited for the spring!
So happy to get notifications for your videos! Always good info! 💙
I absolutely love your videos! You help so much with your knowledge! So young to be so wise! You are Blessed! 🖤💜🖤
Peace,love & light 🤍 upon you sis, May you manifest all your heart desires! 🙏
I like sweet grass for bringing in positive energy. I like the smell as well. 😊
I had to come back and thank you for this video! (or maybe it’s another video of yours) 🤔
Anyway, my apartment is a disaster because I feel lost/stressed with the pandemic, etc. 😜
I’ve tried Everything!!!
I took your advice...set a timer & cleaned for an hour, 15 minute break, clean for another hour, sat down with a coffee for 15, etc. It’s WORKING!! 🙌✨💞 Thank you so much for this super-effective solution to my cluttered messy apartment! I’m getting back into the craft & have been binge-watching your videos.🖤
You said rosemary can be used as insence, I have a lot of it in my back yard. Could I cut some rosemary and burn it to use as insence? I am a beginner so sorry if this is a dumb question.
I am spiritual ..walking into positivity light for greater good energy ⭐️Universe ..a beginner with Incense, cleansing for protection,crystals and candles.I’m learning alot from you .Very informative Thank you for this amazing video 🙂⭐️ 🌙💫🌟
I'm cleansing white eggshells for a protection spell, this is one of the best videos for cleansing things
I tend to like visualization for cleansing because I'm still a baby witch and I don't trust myself with other types but it's easy to hold my crystals or candles and just work on emotion and will. I think it helps that I've had all my rocks and crystals for several years and they know me, so it feels... easier? To work with them. Anyway thank you for reminding me, I have a whole box full of crystals and stones that need some love.
Im not a sage user personally. I am extremely surprised you did not even mention Palo Santos. My personal favorite and go to.
Haha "and if you have a vagina it's also good for that" I love it made me laugh. That sounds like something I would say innocently of course, like a tidbit of Knoledge. I love watching your videos. You have a great calming voice.
Love this video. I do alot of this but have become lazy about it. Thanks for the boost! It really make a big difference! Thank you Olivia!❤
Your voice is so calming and it really helps me relax.
New Moon is a good time to start a new project or task. Full Moon is a time to start a period of recharging and rest.
Very nice description of the background and details. Thank you for going in-depth with this video.
Good morning witches!! Thank you Olivia for this video!
I definitely needed this video after all the crap my family is going through. I knew sage is a good cleansing herb but was never told it would get rid if both types of energy. Any recommended herbs, incense and oils to drive away the Evil Eye or heavy amounts of bad luck?
Me either!
Sweet grass vleases negative energy palo santo cleanses negative energy and entities and rasberry leaves tell crappy spirits to "get the f*** out"
@@MisstressMourtisha Awesome! Thank you so much.
I like that term, unwanted energies... I don't believe in evil or evil energies or entities... so energy can be old or stale or misplaced, or cluttered... I think of spiritual cleansing sort of like defragging a device, or sweeping or decluttering. When you sweep the floor, you don't think of sand and crumbs as "evil," yet we know they need to be cleaned up. To me, "evil" is a bit of a scare tactic. So I'm just delighted to see a cleaning video that doesn't use that terminology.
My favorite method is to physically wash it with soap. I find it gets rid of energy too.
After I do a ritual when I can I would cleanse the house afterwards to make sure the energies are gone and to allow the good energies in again. This is a beautiful video as well I get to learn so much.
Really cool vid ma’am. I’ve always had a drawing towards gems and rocks in general. I believe in their vibration healing properties
That company that makes the chocolate candy cane tea is MY FAVORITE and I'm about an hour and a half or so away from St. Augustine. I need to go back there because it's been a while since I've been to St. Augustine.
Hello fellow witch!!! I just subscribed to support you! I live in LA to!!! May the goddess bless your path.
Where have you been all my life? I’ve been binge watching your videos, you have an amazing spirit and energy.
Other good universal cleanser is the Selenite ,whatever jewel or any other crystall i get ,i just place them over a chunk odf Selenite over night and is done .Good alternative is to bury in consecrated salt for24 hour but you have to dispose the salt thereafter.
I like diffusers with essential oils in them, I feel like that is a great way to set a places energy as well
I used my listen to Jhené Aiko when cleansing my space her voice is so soothing😌

I was just in the Spice and Tea Exchange in St.Augustine this week! I bought the loose leaf jasmin tea and creme brulee early grey tea. I thought of Olivia when I bought it too!
