I came across witchcraft when I was looking for alternative methods to fight my depression. It has help. I feel very empowered.
Me too. With very shocking changes. I went in with no expectations. I’m happy it’s helping you too.
Leah, I battle depression as well. It does help, doesn't cure...but it helps. Bless you
I kinda tried everything to help my depression and anxiety before somehow ending up here.
I too have severely struggled with depression. For many reasons. I hope empowering myself even a little bit will help. Feeling completely powerless is terrible.
My depression story was VERY SIMILAR, and I have never felt more empowered since I started a couple months ago obsessively studying and meditating and bringing witchy practices into my daily lifestyle
I want to begin, but man, overcoming inherent shame and guilt from a religious upbringing is hard 😅
It took me months of fear and guilt, but it goes away eventually. Try to journal, if it’s your thing, try to work on yourself. Don’t refuse this feelings, accept them, acknowledge them. Learn more and more, so you know you’re doing nothing bad and you’re still the good, sweet person you’ve always been.
Even though I've rejected religion in my life since 18 years, I know what you mean. Some religions can lead to guilt and shame so easily. I don't feel them anymore, but I do remember what my former Catholic self would say to my now self haha
@@firearth1581 Thankyou
Abbey honey, so educate yourself with the bible that "Fake" Christians use against us to fight them back. Gets exhausting at times yes. But as they like to flip out and pick and choose sections of the bible to tell us where our souls are going when we die....it really helps to pick out shit from the bible to sling back at them. Eventually they tire, and give up. I never back down to fake Christians, and I remind them they will be judged as harshly in their own deaths, as they judge others throughout their lifetime. I also remind them, Christ would not be sitting on you tube trolling the witchy community if he were here walking on earth. That is not God's work. They do not have a guaranteed ticket into heaven just because they hide behind the label of "I'm a Christian". Hugs to you.
i feel that. Stay strong!
When I was a beginner witch in the 90's - not knowing any better - I did damn near everything Hearth here says *not* to do, and from my experience I can say with certainty how right she is. I made a lot of mistakes and conjured things I couldnt control and didnt know how to banish. I ended up hurting myself and others and caused a lot of trauma and made my life incredibly difficult for a long time as a result of my ignorance. As Hearth says, yes magic can be lovely and beautiful, but it can also be incredibly dangerous if you dont know what you're doing.
So you can conjure something and use it's energy? How do we learn to banish?
Wow. She's right, most of the stuff in the '90s was crap, but there were a few gems. Scott Cunningham is always good for the beginner.
Spellcraft is tricky and can easily come back to bite you. What goes around comes around.
I was lucky that there was a charming little occult bookshop near me when I was starting. No, you don't need all that junk. Avoid expensive, choose meaningful.
It's called a practice for a reason.
Experience is your best toolbox and you gain experience through practice. I'll do it better next time.
Learn and do. Ground and center. Repeat.
I am so sorry
@@amyp.575 research most likely.
I’m lucky once I told my mom I want to start my witchcraft journey, she literally admitted she was a witch back in the days and warned me about lots of these mistakes
Hearth: Meditate.
*Me, trying to meditate for the 20th time*
My ADHD brain: haha *no.*
literally me
My ADHD and aphantasia:Hah, nO
Maybe try meditative movements :) I heard of people who get into trance by dancing or the like, or maybe drawing from Tai Chi and their movement + breathing methods. That said, I'm pretty new to witchcraft myself and don't have ADHD, so I'm not sure. Best of luck :)
I know it can be really hard, but try other types of meditation, or maybe yoga or something with movement. And also, don't blame yourself if you aren't able to focus for more than a couple of seconds, that's okay, me neither most of the times, for me metitating is more about being aware of that and forgiving yourself and always try again. I know ADD and ADHD doesn't help meditation, but meditation really helps ADD and ADHD. Good luck, hope it helped
IT'S OK
Baby Witch here still in the early months of research and meditation would love a video on Good books for beginners
Also love your videos
This is the answer I was looking for! Thank you!
I recommend bucklands complete book of witchcraft. That one is really good for a jumping off point
Ellan Dugen's The Cottage Witch. Cottage Witchery?
I was given Buckland’s complete book of witchcraft. I’m not as interested in Wicca but it’s good to read a bunch of things. I’m also reading the green witch by Arin muro hey hiscock
To any beginner witches; find a way to focus that works best for you, it will be the foundation of all your work and how you align the energy in and around you.
The natural state of energy is neutral. It's not "good" or "bad." I know you will hear A LOT about light and positive energy and may even be obsessed with "cleansing." It IS possible to cleans the things you need from something as well. The Abrahamic religions have brainwashed the majority of the population into thinking in polar opposites instead of letting something or someone just be and exist. There must always be a balance. There is NO shame in who or what we are. We could never do anything wrong enough to deserve an eternity of suffering and damnation.
Hearth: Magic isn’t like what’s shown on TV, you can’t fly or point your finger at a pen and turn it into a broom.
Me: Oh crap, how am I supposed to turn my haters into frogs now?
Q: What do you say to an angry witch?
A: "Ribbit"
(Sorry, just couldn't resist... )
you also can't send a demon,warlock,or a shape shifter into Oblivion either
Andreia Reminiec Great, how am I supposed to get into Hogwarts now?
tomoka the axolotl .. There are so many more fun things to do with them than to turn them amphibious!
Freezing them, making their life a living hell ( know that you will have to pay for this and the price maybe truly high)
Every action has a reaction. 😉
tomoka the axolotl .. If you have to ask you never will.
I'm an old fart just starting down this path. I am subscribed to a few channels, but yours is way more informative, witchy and you stay ON POINT! Love your videos!! I've learned so much. And I can tell you know your chit. ;)
I feel you I am also in my 40's here and just starting out mind you. I have been practicing spirituality over the years which is apart of witchcraft. I do practice meditation regularly as well which is helpful too. learning about the god and goddesses is interesting as well as in the past I have a call upon archangels which is similar but different.
you guys are both so cool :)
Almost 39 here!
Right!!! She’s STAYS ON POINT. I love that
I'm almost 60 and have been doing this for about 4 years. I'm actually a Druid but I agree, this is one of the best channels I have found. What works in one pagan practice, often will work with another.
Hearth: “When our minds are crazy with thoughts it can be hard to focus on what we want.”
Me, with ADHD: 😳
(Though I do love my meditation time. It can just be hard to get into for someone like me. But when I can 👌👌)
Me over in the corner, staring at people that can actually focus out of jealousy that they don't have ADHD: 👁👄👁
People with ADHD are often super talented and gifted. It is possible to meditate with ADHD. I know because I have it lol. Keep it up!
I have ADHD and I'm on the Autism spectrum. Magickal practice has been helping me center and control the inner... chaos.
Ive noticed in spell books, common herbal allergies are not mentioned. So if you are a beginner, using herbs without researching you can cause serious bodily harm outside of your spirit. This is not brought up enough.
A lot of great, realistic tips, Hearth!
I’d also like to say to beginner witches: think about why you want to be a witch. If you’ve felt the call toward something “bigger” or “different” than what you were taught or know, or if you’ve experienced things you can’t explain, or if you’re just looking for something spiritually, then definitely look into it. The more passion you have for this lifestyle, the easier it will be to stay with it.
Also, as a point, don’t let what others say influence you lol Do what makes you happy, for sure, and makes you feel fulfilled.
growing up ive always been drawn to witchy things in television and media and when i realized that it wasnt the same i didnt care because it just felt right to be a witch
I’ve always been drawn to witchcraft and witchy things and I’m exited to start my practice I’m still learning and am terrified to start bcs what if I do something wrong and hurt someone.
I actually want to experiment with witchcraft because I don't believe in anything supernatural and want to experiment with spirituality before deciding what do i really believe in. I hope research can help me open my mind before practicing witchcraft. If I get good at it, I would love to use it to help people
I'm actually non-denominational christian but I'm a baby witch. I'm looking for something spiritually if that makes sense. I still believe in God but I still believe or feel a connection to witchcraft. Which from my research is ok? But I'm very happy you said this :)
@@PumaArg well Im a beginner myself but I think it's you're energy and visualizing that releases spells
I got loads of crystals (mostly because I’ve always been attracted to them, even before I knew about witchcraft) but now I’m learning how to use them. I’m glad I came across this video now otherwise I would’ve brought those tarot cards 😂♉️
I've only recently started purchasing crystals, for specifics like Amethyst, Lapis, etc. I've always been good at finding crystals and such outside. My mom used to think I'd grow up to be a geologist.... she was close...
I'm looking into buying some crystals but currently I bought a fancy playing card deck (it was 5 dollars but looked pretty) to use for cartomancy, which is something I'm interested in.
I have a variety of tarot and oracle cards for meditation....I really love the artwork
I was told a good rule of thumb is to study for a year before you actually try to cast spells. I also recomend tai chi or qi gong. It helps with visualization, and meditation. Love your video's my witchy friend.
Girl, how do you not have more subs??? You have so much knowledge, are so inclusive and are one of the most articulate and well spoken UA-camrs I’ve come across 😨 Love the information and content you put out, and It’s quite refreshing to see and hear from a witch who practices the craft traditionally and doesn’t rely on the instagram-ability and aesthetics of their craft, although there’s nothing wrong with that ☺️ As a non-Wiccan witch, it’s hard to sift through the sea of Wiccan content to find other practitioners of the craft. Thanks for doing what you do! ✨
I've been practicing for more than 15 years now and I wish I had known about this things back when I started. I can completely agree with all your tips. Great video!
It's a lifestyle, and allows tons of self work, and meditative skills, you use witch craft as an aid in your spirituality in your life. It's an added skill and feature to add to your already established spiritual beliefs and rituals. If you are spiritual that is, not every witch combine their witchyness with their religion.
Oh man. When I first started, I made that mistake of buying all the stuff listed in the books or what people said that I needed. I wasted so much money. When I was new this path, it would have been great to have this video, but that was before UA-cam. I enjoy watching your videos. So much great information. :)
Local libraries are a great resource. Plus many if them can borrow from other libraries in your area. It's incredible to borrow a before you buy too!
The one dislike was from someone that wants to win the lottery XD
No from someone who believes witchcraft is like movies and tv shows

As a beginner witch with a low budget. Only things I've bought are Crystal's and stones and tarot cards and a kitchen witch book. I use them frequently. I am learning to be a kitchen/cottage witch myself(that's my focus)
I came to witchcraft because I was trying to fix my mental health. I helped me, but not fully. But I’m much happier than I have ever been before
Sigils are a really good spell to start. Thats what I did.
I just realised that I practiced feeling energies and things like that for such a long time without knowing. Mabey it's because I'm very sensitive when it comes to feeling others emotions, which is not always as cool aus it sounds, because I tend to be affected by them very easily. I also always collected nature things as a kid like spacific stones, sticks and seashells. Yesterday I went out collecting stones to make my own runestones and suprisingly I was still drawn to the same kind of stone.
Also I know that my grandfather used to do magic because I got handed down his spiritdice (didn't know what it was back then). My mum also used to practice magic but for some reason stopped and threw out all magical things in our house. Includeing the dice. So I'm basicly a broomcoleseted witch in a family of witches.😑
I love candle magick also...great video dear one. As always you hit it on the nail. Great personality.
Thank you this video was very informative. I’m a beginner witch myself and it is really tricky. My parents and me are Christians but I’m also a witch but it’s a secret
What book can I use for a beginner
my family is christian and im almost a witch. Im like one step away from just becoming a witch already, its kind of inevitable
You can be a Christian and a witch ....I am she talks about it !!!
So your in the broom closet. I found a bunch of witchcraft help on Reddit.😀
After a year I’m finally picking myself up after a breakup and I’m so happy I found witchcraft. I feel like I’m a late starter being in my mid twenties but I feel so empowered and generally better in myself
The first time I did magic-- and Effected real change in reality; visually, psychologically, with unintended confirmation the next day.
Very clear results.
I used nothing but my concentration, while incorporating and amalgamating what I'd learned; and what I knew intrinsically.
I'd had magic (good & bad) done to me before-- but this was the first time I attempted magic (out of desperation), and it was definitely successful.
Hearth Witch does a good job x
I was the kid making potions and writing wishes. In highschool I was so interested but very nervous to dive in since I come from a Christian home. About 5 years ago give or take I started reading books I made a mini alter and it just never felt right. I didn’t feel like a proper Christian anymore but I also didn’t feel like a Wiccan. I felt more connected into the nature, the earth, the energy in the air around me. I fell out of it until recently and I have no clue how I found these videos but knowing I can be a witch and not into Wicca has like opened my eyes. I don’t know which path I’m going to take but I finally feel like I found the thing I have been looking for my whole life. Now a couple years shy of 30 I’m officially a baby witch just trying to learn. Thank you !!
I tried for so long to box myself in as “cosmic witch” because I see auras and I felt like my practice was disconnected and disjointed. I finally stopped pushing it and let myself research and explore and found through practicing in a way that brought me joy that I’m actually a kitchen witch! Just like you said, one day I looked up and realized I was always practicing in my kitchen and that was where I felt safe and my magic was changing my relationship with food and I was like oooohhh 🤣❤️
Me: *daydreaming
Hearth: “...love potion”
Me: LoVE pOtIoN?!!!
Thank you....great tips!! Witch of wanderlust recommended you! Any titles of books on audible you could reccomend???
Subscribed too!🤗
following as I too would love some recommended books :D x
It's so cool seeing your subscribers count shooting up all the time ☺
Nice video ! If i would include my own tips to yours, it would be to overcome the doghma around duality. It is not about good versus evil, but rather is more like how polarity on a magnet worth. The way i came to understand it, is as follow; nothing can exist without an opposite, see that in plants, they use both sun from above and water from below to sustain them. For a set temperature to be felt, there need to exist both hot and cold. For animals to reproduces, there need to be both male and female ( one of the reasons i found out why male are seen as positive and female as negative, well, look at the genitals, at first sight, one is an addition, the other is a substraction ). You can do something perceived as very evil for someone, but would actually be good for someone else. What churchianity has truly done with duality, is believing so much in goodness, they became so selfrighteous, that they subsequently starting trusting evil....
I'm a mature beginner and found these tips amazing, a lot of things I didn't realise, I have lots of crystals and tarot cards, have done for a long time now, ive always been interested in this subject just never came to a head till now! :) Im still a bit confused as to wether you choose Wicca or Pagan, think I need to look up the differences ....tfs...new subscriber ♥
I learned the answer from this channel: Pagan is an umbrella term for a person who practices any non-Abrahamic religion (Abrahamic = Christianity, Muslim, Judaism) so there are hundreds of things included in Paganism including Wicca. So a Wiccan is technically a Pagan. You can be a witch without being Wiccan because Wicca is a specific religion that began in the 50s which honors both the God & Godess, and you can be a witch without being religious.. You taught me well @Hearthwitch!
i would recommend just stick with witchcraft. if you find yourself drawn to religion, then look into paganism or wicca!
I love the way you explain things. I've struggled to find ways to explain some of this to my 7-year-old and, while I realize that's not your demographic, you explain it in a way he can understand. It's easier to explain it to my husband whose also Pagan but doesn't practice witchcraft. Our son wants to be a Pagan and practice witchcraft.
I think one of if not the most important thing is: Do what brings you peace, joy, and fulfillment.
There a lot of information on what to do, where to look, who to listen to out there. It can be overwhelming at times. And when things like self-doubt and procrastination kick in, one might feel lost.
I find asking myself "WHY am I doing this? Does it make me happy or still make me happy?" helps me pace myself, listen to my heart, and stay centered :)
The fact that anyone downvotes her videos is just wild to me.. Hearth is amazing!
I have been a witch for 20 years now and I still find it very useful to go and listen to the advice of other witches. Even if it is beginner advice... in fact especially if it is for beginners because it brings me back to the basics and helps me remember to be realistic about my own practice and go back to the basics to get in touch with those basics and often with myself. I am really enjoying your videos specifically though. Thank you.
Hearth: Dont buy anything
Me: *looks at Amazon orders of books herbs crystals cards and greenhousery*
Me: ...well shit
Your litterally my favorite witchy UA-cam page I've binge watched your videos the past few weeks I love them 😁
Until now I thought Wicca and witchcraft was the same. I’m just beginning and your videos have been great. Thank you
Omg I love your videos ! You're very knowledgeable . I too prefer candle magick .. You should teach a UA-cam class or something! Thank you for your videos
Don't summon anything before learning banishment seems obvious, but it's still good to hear someone saying it
cannot agree more with “you might not know where in your practice you are in a year, or two years” because i definitely didn’t
so i’ve been a witch for two years now, and if i reflect on what i thought back then, i’d have to agree with you
If someone had told me two years ago that I will be most interested in shadow work, tarot, astral projection, I would’ve told the person that they’re funny, but wrong.
I just wanna sit my past self down and have a nice little time for bonding.
All amazing tips Hearth! so good to be reminded of all of it as well. I feel that the simplest of practices such as visualisation and grounding are so important and actually such potent exercises to work on. I think it helps with mental health so much as well as confidence and self-love and being able to stand in your power. I would just say if anyone is reading the comments to not be discouraged by anyone who tells you that you're 'not a witch' or 'it's silly' or 'sinful' or that 'you're not doing it right' because you forge your own path and anyone who tries to tell you any of those things, it's simply a reflection of where they are on their path and their shadows - whether they be spiritual or not - and allow it and let it wash over you but just know that doesn't have to be the truth for you! You make your own craft! Much love to all 💖 Xxx
Your hair is magical 🤩🌸
It’s funny and awesome that I am now in this witchy journey. I bought myself a bunch of crystals for birthday, not for any other reason than I love looking at them. I collected them as a kid and loved looking for cool rocks and stones. Then all of a sudden I started coming across lots of witch related content and it was like the universe telling me you need to explore this. I’ve always been interested since I was kid, but I always steered away cause in the 90s I only knew about Wicca and wasn’t interested in a religion. I am now in my 30s discovering that’s not the only way and all the “pretend” magic and spells I made up as a kid was just witchcraft calling me and I’m finally listening. I love you’re videos. They are extremely helpful and educational. 🖤🖤🖤
That sounds exactly like me, and I’m coming into it late in the game unfortunately because I don’t do social media a lot and found witch groups late. It calls to me. Probably in a way that I always knew too. I’m with you on the crystals and rocks thing. How did you do on your journey a year later? Did you learn anything important that a newbie to learn as well beyond what she is saying? Any advice for me just starting out?

Hey, sometimes it takes a long time for a spell to work...don't give up hope just yet, there might be something great waiting for you on the other side of this pandemic

Thank you! This is one of the best videos for people starting out I've seen on UA-cam. As a long term practitioner, it is lovely to see a younger person so direct and on point about the practice. Excellent work. Many blessings to you.
