THANK YOU. I'm so grateful for your channel, your intellect, insight, and generous spirit. May the Divine Soul Of Love bless you and your loved ones. 🤗💕✨️
This video is a revelation ! I have been doing martial art for a long time. They explain the same thing : do not use force, connect and lead. But I never thought that was also a magical principle. Everything is linked. That's wonderful.
Thank you ff for this helpful video. I too thank water and light and home etc. We know we are fortunate especially when others have so little, not even fresh water, light or food and even more dangerous living conditions and situations. Xxxx
When it comes to the universe, it always chooses the path of least resistance to bless those who learnt to let go of the past by expressing daily their gratitude. Very good content Mr Foolish Fish
Reminds me of something I heard recently about leaders who lead through love vs fear. If through fear, your subjects will subvert you. Trying to impose your will on the world forcefully will just end in a rebound.
This exactly! And with relevance to life in general, my life has never improved by complaining about it, but the effects of gratitude have been spectacular!
I haven’t t got through your video and I am impulsive to tell you. This is the right message for me at the right time! I’ll have to listen on repeat. Thank you 🙏
I am grateful for this series you're doing Foolish and for this video specifically. In "Becoming Magic" the author Genevieve Davis point to gratitude as being the foundation of magic indeed. The reason sometimes magic backfire, according to her, is because we might not have practiced feeling worthy and grateful enough, we haven't became magical enough to hold magic in place. I find this perspective very useful.
This is the reason why one of the very first readings I did for the channel was a fairy tale called 'The Old Woman Who Lived in a Vinegar Bottle'. Check it out! Funny and educational 😄
I had strong a synchronicity with what was going on in my life/day and the fact that I had to watch this specific video today, right now in this precise moment of my day, Thank you brother :-) I wish you all the Best!! Blessings from Brooklyn NY
You have a natural way of explaining these concepts which is very helpful. I appreciate the info about magick and the perspectives about life. You’re a well spoken teacher.
I love the audiobook esq feel of the videos. Visuals are good too but audiobooks are empowering to me. Good stuff 🌙. This video expresses perfectly something I’ve been piecing together for years. Great work!
Very good analogy and translation for apprivoiser. Apprivoiser implies love. wanting to be accepted, trusted and loved by who you wish to *apprivoiser A two way trust and love, by mutual will. Thank you for your videos they are really helpful.
Excellent words of practical wisdom - the fluffy new age meme of throwing gratitude at life dosnt to far enough. But your take on it is much more effective, because nurturing 'an attitude of gratitude' IS a very powerful practice. Thanks for adding more useful dimensions to it!
Excellent video! I was just making a point to my nephew how non-linear time works in this way. How I can have an experience with another being despite the space between us and walls of time...I appreciate these videos!
I’m so happy to have listened to this today. Your videos always brighten my day. I love the feeling of gratitude. It has changed my life. Gratitude has opened the pathway to me allowing the divine source to guide me. I too look at life like a beautiful wild horse to tame. Although now, I will omit the word tame and envision a more flowing version. Thanks for the tip of the sticker idea! I will try that on my next down swing day. 🙏
For my sins I currently work in sales, it feel's like a jedi mind trick when when this stuff works. One word out of place or hesitation and the spell is broken.
Love it (the video of course!)! Unsure of the latin root of apprivoiser but it does seem similar to this of apprendre, perhaps reinforcing this idea of learning and adapting. In any case, I do wish you a happy new year!
When you mentioned Sympathy I went from "Surely, he is not talking about _the_ Sympathy from the Kingkiller Chronicle" to "HECK YEAH he's talking about the Kingkiller Chronicle!"
I recall an incident in my reading involving Crowley. He was with someone and decided to give a demonstration of sympathetic magic. He began walking some distance behind a stranger. Crowley walked in step and tried to imitate the walk as best he could. After a few moments of this, Crowley suddenly pitched to the side. At the same time, the stranger pitched to the side, almost losing his balance. Cum grano salis...
@@FoolishFishBooks I read about it in The Occult by Colin Wilson: Seabrook goes on to tell one of the oddest stories about Crowley's powers. When Crowley said he had gained greater power through his vigil, Seabrook asked for a demonstration. Crowley took him along Fifth Avenue, and on a fairly deserted stretch of pavement, fell into step with a man, walking behind him and imitating his walk. Suddenly Crowley buckled at the knees, squatted for a split second on his haunches, then shot up again; the man in front of him also buckled and collapsed on the pavement. They helped him to his feet, and he looked around in a puzzled manner for the banana skin.
@@FoolishFishBooks I don't recall which biography it is in. I do recall that Crowley was in New York at the time. I think he was staying with William Seabrook. I will try to find it!
@@FoolishFishBooks I found it. It is in William Seabrook's autobiographical Witchcraft: Its Power in the World Today. It is the source of the stumbling story.
Hey, so, about those little tiny strings, I swear to god I’ve seen those hundreds of times in my life so far, most recently on a New Years Eve mushroom trip, but mainly when I was a kid or when I had first received my black belt. It’s like a carpet of darting shimmering light, right? You can also look “down the grain” of them, and see everything as a sparkling rain of photons. How fascinating! If that description lines up, that’d be really neato!! Also, if you could describe the difference between electric and magnetic fluid, I’d really appreciate it! I’d love to see what kinds of cross-relations there are in QFT and other theories!!
I’ve been looking for a channel like this for a while. Have you considered a podcast - a la Rune Soup - with magickal folks? Paul Weston is always a riveting guest. Thx
When I hear “apprivoiser” I can’t help but think of Joe Dassin’s Aux Champs Elysées, “Il suffisait de te parler, pour t'apprivoiser...” which I more want to translate as “disarm,” in the figurative sense of course, than “tame.” It’s definitely a very personal and subtle way of getting your way than “breaking” a wild horse as we say in English as a means of taming. Interestingly, just today I was watching a UA-cam video about the Indo-European tradition of horse sacrifice that talked about how the Indo-European root word for “tame” also had connotations of “rape”! This was tied to their ritual practices concerning kingship and fertility and survived in different ways in different cultures from India to the steppes to the Germanic tribes, the Vikings, and even Ireland, but it does speak to the different way to see “your will be done.” Somewhat echoing another commenter, when I was in education, I heard a school principal speak about how there are two ways to lead a school: by inspiring fear or by inspiring respect. Leading by fear was about the punitive threat, and created a hostile learning and working environment, which is not really a learning environment at all. While leading by respect is about servant-leadership and leading by example-being the example of what the school community, and by extension, society, can embody. I see you doing this in your own way. I like to think that’s what I’m striving for too, even if I’m not exactly using magic to do so. Wishing you and your viewers the best for this 2021.
Thank you! This made me think of the awesome documentary about the “Horse whisperer”, Buck. (It used to be on Netflix but I don’t know where to find it now.) I learned a lot from his approach. It also makes me think of my practice that I call “post it magick” lol. It’s been the most effective for me as far as self improvement. Also gratitude rocks.
Just wanted to share an experience which I have noticed this years ago, I always said growing up I had " be careful what you wishful for syndrome " as I noticed words held more power then we realized, and were to be taken literally. Could even come back with a twist, at least in my case, but I am a girl who's mother named her Twilight Dawn, and 3 older brothers named Sundown , Thunder and Twister. That saw Beings in living in my house at night, there was no doubt in my mind if there was something of the strange, it was real and I keep it to myself. I had also gone to jail 30 times, If we wanted hot water, we had to ask the duties, and they always said no. I noticed that the girls would always say "thank you " after being told no. And laughed at them in my head. They would have me ask, cause they never told me no, I never said thank you, for any time that they did tell me no. One time, the deputy heard a girl say under her breathe, "they never tell her no" and she says, " cause she isn't a kiss ass " and I smile at the other girls as a walk away to get our water, " I don't thank people for nothing" lol your video reminded me of a funny memory that can re-enforce your statements. What your saying is true 👍 🤣
I've been trying to be more grateful lately, but then I think I may have ripped the silk threads. Anyway, this sticker idea is great! I will try to do that.
Thank you so much Denis😊. Your teaching has helped me so much, I’m new to Magick having been on an intense spiritual search for 25 or more years. Where can I buy “Hidden Truths”? Thank you, again😊
Black Letter Press is the publisher. You can buy direct from them or from Watkins in the UK, or from Miskatonic Books in the US, ot Anathema Publishing in Canada 😊🙏
Good morning Foolish Fish. Do you have some knowledge to share about numerology and in particular the event of seeing repeating numbers durong our day?
Great gratitude reminder thank you!
I return back to this video often. ❤
😄❤️ Ah, yes, I admit I like this one too 😄🙏 thank you for watching and for your kind words!
2020 was the best year of my entire life despite the chaos in the world and I have a feeling 2021 will be even better and so far it's looking good
2021's looking rather cursed, hopefully 2022 becomes far more blessed.
It was for me too!
Same 🤣
Hope your 2021 went well!!
Order was brought to the chaos
THANK YOU. I'm so grateful for your channel, your intellect, insight, and generous spirit. May the Divine Soul Of Love bless you and your loved ones. 🤗💕✨️
I am working on technical project which requires a law coupling resonance - fits perfectly to your description ❤
The sticker idea is brilliant.

Today was shaping up to be a tough one, this video came at the perfect moment.
Thank you 💕
_always_ can be,
or is
all the best
Same!
This is what I have been doing instinctively but have been struggling with lately. I'm glad I came across this
Thank's for this video !
This is my path. I agree
So grateful for this!!!

Came for the lovely books, stayed for the metaphysical life advice. great videos bloke.
You my friend are fantastic. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you brother xox
Not tangled but resonated... Brilliant and very accurate. Не связаны, но резонирующие между собой... Гениально и точно🙏
Thank you so much
Thank you so much for this,
I found something new to be grateful for.😉
Fantastic, i really enjoyed this explanation and the Rothfuss book recommendation
I needed this..thank you.
Incredible!
Wise and well timed. Thank you.

I shouted you out in my new video! And also thank you for this video! Much love FF!💜✨

Wow... What a powerful message you shared with us. And on the eve of my birthday the timing of this was divine for me. Thank You ✨Thank You✨
Happy birthday! :D
@@FoolishFishBooks thank you 🦌✨
I love the audiobook esq feel of the videos. Visuals are good too but audiobooks are empowering to me. Good stuff 🌙.
This video expresses perfectly something I’ve been piecing together for years. Great work!
snuggle up to life, and life will snuggle up to you ^_^
Yes! Exactly! :D
Very good analogy and translation for apprivoiser. Apprivoiser implies love.
wanting to be accepted, trusted and loved by who you wish to *apprivoiser
A two way trust and love, by mutual will.
Thank you for your videos they are really helpful.
I've given two pats on the head 👍🏻😜
Great video thank you.

Fantastic technique 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm so glad you like it, Hamid! I think it's quite an important one 😄🙏
How fabulous... thank you.
Excellent video! I was just making a point to my nephew how non-linear time works in this way. How I can have an experience with another being despite the space between us and walls of time...I appreciate these videos!
I listened to the end just to hear your magnificent pronunciations.
I’m so happy to have listened to this today. Your videos always brighten my day. I love the feeling of gratitude. It has changed my life. Gratitude has opened the pathway to me allowing the divine source to guide me.
I too look at life like a beautiful wild horse to tame. Although now, I will omit the word tame and envision a more flowing version.
Thanks for the tip of the sticker idea! I will try that on my next down swing day.
🙏
Thank you for the kind words, Jessi! Best wishes to you! :)
Very cool … .
You are truly a saint in my opinion 🙏❤️
Thank you.....it was really helpful ! Gratitude is a very helpful attitude but hard to cultivate longer !!
I’m grateful or this channel. Thanks for doing what you do 🙏🏽
Thanks FF I’m so glad I found this channel . All the best with all your endeavours sincerely ❤️
very practical video. Best one in a while. Thanks
Your videos are amazing! They have been really helpful and I love the way you look at life. Thank you so much for making them.
Excellent guidance, thank you!
Great video topic to highlight upon.
Especially when applying it in any magical traditions, if one chooses to have familiar spirits on their own side.
Your channel is a blessing dude
thank you for this amazing content 🙏
❤❤❤
Thank you x
So nice! Thank you!
This is so articulate very well done.
For my sins I currently work in sales, it feel's like a jedi mind trick when when this stuff works. One word out of place or hesitation and the spell is broken.
Nice
Mr Fish, that was cool! 😎
Brilliant.
LOVE this educational stuff!!
Learnt this when I was starting my sales job lol this stuff really works 👌
This was very helpful and timely
Love it (the video of course!)!
Unsure of the latin root of apprivoiser but it does seem similar to this of apprendre, perhaps reinforcing this idea of learning and adapting.
In any case, I do wish you a happy new year!
I looked the root up, and it appears to be from the Latin privatus, so private, personal 😊
When you mentioned Sympathy I went from "Surely, he is not talking about _the_ Sympathy from the Kingkiller Chronicle" to "HECK YEAH he's talking about the Kingkiller Chronicle!"
thank you, brother.
Good stuff. Keep it up, brother.
These last few days were a bit rough for me. This topic is exactly what I was thinking about during this time. Thank you!
This explains so much. Thanks mate.
I like that metaphor 🐴🕸
