As a trained nurse of 30 plus years I often would get a warning regarding a patients condition without any obvious reason. I and many other nurses use our intuition all the time and are usually right. I’ve never thought about it before but I think most healers use their gut feelings alongside the scientific training.
I'm not a nurse I'm 14 but I wanna go into PT and I've been told I have gift for it or magic fingers. It's like your being told or you can see the injury it's crazy
"grab yourself a snack and drink or start folding your laundry" me, already sitting here with my snack and drink while folding laundry: "well apparently my intuition is pretty damn good!!"
My problem is that my ‘gut feeling’ I really indistinguishable from anxiety or silly worries. I get ‘gut feelings’ even when just going into my kitchen when it’s dark and there is never anything wrong. I find it very tricky to tell what is irrational fear and what is important. Edit: That being said, I have pretty good intuition for using herbs in witchcraft.
I have this issue as well. I try to ask myself whether my feeling coincides with my known anxiety triggers. For example, I know that I have anxiety about job interviews so if I have a feeling that I shouldn’t go to this interview…I know that’s probably anxiety. But I don’t normally have an issue with my health, so if I feel like something is more serious than it appears…I know it’s time to make a doctor appointment.
As an autistic witch with depression and anxiety this video is actually so so helpful. I've never been good with intuition but this video encourages me to keep trying
In the fall of 2020, my husband was getting ready to go to mass and was going to take the kids along. I said "don't take them, y'know, b/c of the virus", my gut said something bad would happen. Not 10mins later he calls me to say he was in car accident and that leaving the kids behind was a good idea. A month ago I was getting my sons ready for school and told my oldest to take his bike, it was already sunny and warm. Ordinarily I would've driven him along with his younger brother who is in Pre-K. My gut just said "he needs to ride his bike." On the way to taking my youngest I had a head-on collision on the passenger side, right where my oldest would've been sitting. I would be watching my goddaughter later that day and had my extra carseat in the back. When my son got home he was glad I made him ride his bike to school. I always listen to my intuition. It comes with a feeling and a thought, "don't go there," "take the red one," "these things are linked." I used to have precognitive dreams most nights as well, but motherhood has changed my sleeping patterns.
That gave me chills to read - but yes sometimes we just 'know'. And so lucky you had this!! I also have two times that I remember that I just had these unexplainable knowings. Once just before I got into a car Crash (I just knew minutes before, so I did make sure to drive with looots of distance to the car before us - which saved our lives in the end - and asked my friend if I needed to stretch my legs completely when making a full break. And then another time when I stepped in the elevator in my friend's house, that I had taken like a million times, and I had this strange feeling and said 'we are gonna get stuck' and so we did not a minute later 😅). Weird how it works sometimes.
thank you for mentioning how neurodiversity and mental illness can affect things, and i'm extremely happy to hear you move on to say that stuff like that can be worked around and worked with. i haven't been into witchy content much till recently since the late 00s and those books used to be very ableist about the whole thing. you really brightened up my day with this!
That was really interesting. :) Many years ago I was out with a new boyfriend and the thought came into my head that this man was going to hurt me badly one day. I brushed it aside but unfortunately, my gut feeling was right. I'd assumed that it meant a physical hurt, which I couldn't believe, but instead it was such a bad emotional roller coaster and I got badly burnt to the extent that I had a mental breakdown and needed counselling. After that I got into the habit of writing everything in my diary completely truthfully, no matter how shame-facedly, and that had the unexpected outcome of trusting myself completely. I haven't looked back since and my intuition has always been spot on, thankfully. Interestingly, I remember reading that when Ted Bundy committed those terrible murders, there were some girls who got away and didn't get hurt. In each case they said they had a gut feeling that something was wrong and didn't get into his car. Just goes to show how important it is not to brush aside our feelings! Thank you for another fab video, Bex. Cheers. :)
I am so sorry to hear you went through all this heartbreak and trauma - that must have been very hard ❤️ but so glad to read that you are now keeping track off and trusting your intuition! Such an important thing to do ☺️ gut feeling really keeps you save! When I worked in a SW consulting agency in Amsterdam, this is what we always told the girls: if your intuition is telling you something is off, you leave immediately, that second.
One of my major complaints since my early teens has been receiving so much (often unrequested) advice from others that I can't hear my own mind. I've been working on making my intuition speak more loudly... and on paying closer attention to what it tells me.
I feel you! People love to give out unsolicited advice, the younger you are the more they will 😄 wonderful that you are now practicing to listen to your inner voice 💕
I love how you incorporated science and logic into this! My father is a scientist and my mother a spiritualist so I grew up hearing these kinds of correlations. It really helps make sense of it for me. I love how down to earth and knowledgeable you are! I definitely have always been one to trust my gut. But can see instances in my life when past experiences have influenced that intuition.
Hi Bex, you know I’m very scientifically inclined as well, but I always listen to my intuition. Every time I didn’t, the situation turned out for the worse. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. Sending warm greetings from Nyc xoxoxo 😊💕🌸
Hey there ☺️ absolutely agree - that is my experience too! Trust your gut is definitely sound advice in most situations 💪 wishing you a magical weekend
@@Thewitchescookery wishing you a magical weekend too. I’m spending my weekend doing witchy things. My hubby and son went away for the weekend. Some peace & quiet 😂 finally ☺️💕
I can attest to depression dampening intuition, my thinking becomes very slow and muddled and I have a very difficult time making decisions and the smallest of tasks seem nearly insurmountable. Also anxiety makes it very difficult since I'm always afraid and can't really trust my own judgment there. Being mentally ill for me is being trapped in a prison of my own making where everything seems overwhelming and threatening and I'm just exhausted all the time no matter how much I do or do not sleep.
Ich bin Ergotherapeutin und eine Hexe und liebe dieses video! Danke dir 🥰♥️ bei meiner Arbeit mit Klienten benutze ich häufig meine Intuition 🤗 deine Videos sind sehr entspannend und interessant für mich ♥️🫶🏻✨
I discovered Terry Pratchett over quarantine and am obsessed, with all of it, but very specifically the witches. So much of what Tiffany and Granny W talk about in regards to their practice rings so true for me.
I’d say yea because of how I grew I didn’t listen to my intuition which was much stronger when I was a child. Finally had a spiritual awakening and now I’m getting in tune with my own intuition again:)
Oh, wow, I caught that little part about some cannot remember their dreams. Thank you for helping me feel validated. I very rarely remember my dreams and I have aphantasia, I really suck at being a witch. 🤣🤣. I believe that is 1 reason I enjoy your channel more than others, it is more based on science and more aligned with my beliefs, thank you for being awesome.
Terry Pratchette is why I love to read. I was never into books. My friend gave me the Colour Of Magick and I fell in love. My friends tell me that I am going to grow up to be like Nanny Ogg. I had a greebo cat and my name sounds like hers. It jump started an amazing path of books, and fantasy and a life of different thinking.
Because I sometimes struggle with depression and low self-esteem due to my upbringing (they do love their gaslighting), I used to question my intuition quite often. Because it can't be that bad, surely? It's just my fear talking. Well, my intuition was often right and it can and will be that bad. I learned to accept that. What works the best is a higher power like an angel or a boddhisattva. Their guidance was never wrong. The more you work with them, the clearer is their message.
The part about depression dampening your intuition was so eye-opening, together with the negative emotions. Also interesting to hear that looking at your dreams can enhance intuition - would you make a video about that? Dreaming as a witch? My dreams are all over the place. So far I couldn't stick to consistantly writing them down, because I have several dreams per night.
Me too!! I love other people’s drama… there was this one girl once in a phone call saying how she pretended to be asleep to listen to her SO talk to a friend… it seemed so promising I didn’t have my coffee to go….
Fantastic video, thank you!!💕I can’t count the amount of times I’ve ignored my intuition and then something happens. I really need to listen to it more often.
I loved this so much! I lost touch with my intuition over the course of my marriage, and have been slowly working on it since the divorce! Thank you for breaking this down!
Great video. This has been very interesting, especially the bits how depression can affect one's intuition and how headaches can also tell you when something isn't right. I have been in situations where I knew I shouldn't been doing something and turns out I was right but didn't listen. Also for many years my eyelids have been twitching, especially when I'm stressed!
I have the twitching eyelids too! Usually only on one side - the most annoying thing but also a very good indicator for me to realize that I need a break 😄
My mode of witchcraft even in spell work which for me deals with altering my conscious by switching off the rational side & then doing my intentions to achieve the desired results without effort. 🙃
Happy Easter to you. Observed the full moon and will do a simple ritual. Thank you for the lecture on intuition. Being in a situation and reacting to it in a positive manner is something I am working on. Must catch up with some reading. You also looked lovely and your personality shines through.
I am reading the Tiffany Aching series based on your recommendation. I am on the 4th book I think (I shall wear midnight). As a 54yr old and somewhat new to this path, I am really enjoying them ;)
Hi Bex! I was preparing for the full moon werewolf Jesus (because how could he not be with a full moon on Easter) when I saw that you posted. Your content always seems to line up with things I’m dealing with. Anytime I don’t trust my intuition, I regret it. Great video! Thanks for the reminder. 🥰🌈🖤
@@s1gune Hi! Sorry for any confusion. It’s just my sense of humor. Full moons = werewolf / Easter = Jesus, so Werewolf Jesus since the moon is full and it’s Easter. 🥰🤣 I make my Christian friends so angry sometimes. 🤣
I have found that sometimes we have to accept that we may never know when our intuition has been correct; particularly when it comes to others. At least not straight away anyway. I found it quite frustrating when I was younger (a bit of a shadow there for me, actually). I lost count of the amount of times I had intuitively known something that was denied at the time. I now just smile as I know its our right to not acknowledge things everytime we are asked, especially if its a difficult situation. There has been quite a few times however, when the person has later come to be and said that i had hit the nail on the head and I was 100% "right".
Thank you for this video. I've always been a sort of a skeptical about intuition even though I have experience it first hand. I tend to lean for on the scientific side of things and your scientific explanation makes so much sense. Lol, this is very freeing 😊
Yaih - so happy you enjoyed it! And I definitely have the same feeling - I always needs some sort of scientific reasoning with my magick hihi that way you really understand the how's and why's behind it all ☺️
I haven't watch the video yet, I'm only 5 seconds in, but I just had to pause it and comment on how beautiful you are. Seriously! From the inside out, you can see your inner glow shining through. Physically so pretty too! I love how you can be with your hair all done and with makeup like this, or basic hair and no makeup, and you always look amazing. I'm new to your channel, only a few months subscribed, but I've been binging your vids because the information is amazing, and it's like you seem to get younger in each one. Thank you for the teachings that you put out, it's really helping me in finding my path. I absolutely adore and love you! -A thankful baby witch in the USA.
Ooooh thank you so much - I think it is the pregnancy hormones hahah I will try to enjoy the glow while it lasts before I turn into a momby for the next few months 😅 so happy to hear you enjoy the videos ❤️ happy witchin'✨
This The Witche's Cookery youtube feature on Developing Your Intuition One Skill Every Witch Needs contains some helpful ideas that I wish I would have accessed sooner, even just the ideas on how vital it is to pay attention to improving one's mood on a consistent basis-aiming to be happier and believing in oneself and how that relates to intuition are some of among the multiple spiritually vibration raising discussions/content in this Developing Your Intuition.
This video is BRILLIANT. You never cease to amaze me with just how much You know and your natural ability to teach. You pack so much information into your videos and you're always so bright & funny while at the same time you are sharing key knowledge to have. I am truly loving your channel. Keep up the awesome work! Blessed Be 💚
Intuition the way you presented it, was simply brilliant! I'm just an observer of different subjects that intrigued me, Like I said brilliant thank you.
I have a good intonation i work as a security guard and I make people phone me when choosing people for roomates so I can read them better with there voice. I have tarot cards and a pentium board. That i use often with a tigers eye I were to work to protect me.😊thank you for the video
Good morning! Oh this was perfect timing usually my intuition is very accurate guide for me but sometimes it misses too. Good example; Yesterday I was feeling as happy as the fool in the fool card, doing my Monday shopping. Walking right along looking up at sunny sky, I opened the door to the local pet store and was bitten by a dog 🐕 right in the doorway lol. A poor lady struggling with 2 dogs she couldn't control. I swear my intuition says this was a message sent by something. Loved this ❤Thank you
I’m an ardent follower of your UA-cam channel because of the way you talk about witchcraft. It resonates with me. You aren’t someone who has to have all the current tools that they see. You use what you have and talk about intentions instead of tools. I have questions. Ever since I started this path I’ve been trying to go back as far as I can to understand the beginnings of witchcraft - not Wicca. Those who follow Wicca do that because it’s what they need. I want to research and discover as far back as I can the beginnings of the craft. Here are the questions I have at this time: • Before Wicca, were the terms Beltane, Ostara, Mabon, and Imbolc used? I’m trying to determine if the Wheel of the Year existed prior to Wicca. If so, was it still called that? • The first mention of witches I know of is the Witch of Endor in the Bible but was there a mention of witches before then? Were witches called something else beforehand? • In the area where you live, what is the history of witchcraft there? Do you live in the area that held Nordic beliefs? I thank you for reading my ravings. Not only do I practice, but I am also an investigator of the craft. I will keep watching you and the wonderful way that you present the path. Thank you for making it so enjoyable. Mindy Missouri, USA
Hi Mindy! So happy you enjoy the channel ☺️ so to answer your questions: Yes, the holidays on the wheel of year are rural festivities that did and still do exist throughout Europe (the wheel of year is based on the climate and festivities here). The Wiccan names are the ones derived from Ireland and the UK. Of course they had / have other names in other languages. We also see similar old festivities at the same times of year outside Europe with similar themes. They are based on old rural traditions throughout the year, superstitions of the people, different lore and so on. They don't originally have anything to do with witchcraft - just with farm live and the cycle of life that people observed. I film a vlog for every holiday, where I talk much more about the history and different customs, if you are interested. 2. What we title 'witch' / 'witchcraft' today has nothing to do with the former term. Back in the days people believed evil spirits / witches to be the source of bad harvest, illness, etc. as they didn't know how else to explain those things. So they tried to keep them away with what we nowadays would call 'folk magick'. So what a lot of 'witchcraft' nowadays is built upon is those old folk superstitions that the regular people held. 3. Every country all over the world has a 'history of witchcraft' because that is quite literally the way people thought back then. If you are asking about paganism, my area was settled by the Celtic and Germanic tribes. But of course had big overlap with Nordic paganism too as Europe was very much in motion and connected through the centuries. Hope that helps :)
I thank you for this wonderful educational video I really had some issues with my intuition and this video really give me boost of confidence when I'm using my initiation as you have mentioned I I could use my body as mode initiation by the rhythmic pattern that the body responds to great idea thank you much appreciated.
I started to watch your videos because I wanted some informations about Beltane and I fell completely in love with your light and humour. Thank you for those videos ; they are educative and so funny to watch ! Plus your accent is so so cute !!! (I am French so... I cannot judge but I can appreciate ahah !) I will keep watching your previous videos and follow the next ones !!!!
Life can be great training in itself - especially if it is a bit rough. And yes, listening to your intuition is one of the most powerful ways to keep safe and sane
This might be a silly question but do you write books? I would love to read your work. You are a fascinating person. Tacit knowledge; succinctly put! Thank you x
Wow. That's a lot of science and witchery in one video. I loved it. Luckily, (happily) I come from a long line of matriarchal intuitives. Many of us humans, especially, women have had that "gut feeling" knowledge beaten or suppressed out of us through the generations. It is, in my opinion, one of the reasons for so many of the worlds woes. Climate change comes to mind. Domestic violence, child abuse. Intuition isn't just about having that sort of knowledge but knowing how to react to it. I remember the first time I watched one of your videos, I instantly intuited a kinship with you. So glad I found you and your channel. You're better than a double espresso for my mind, body and spirit. Thank you for your hard work that comes across the screen as just two old friends chatting.
I think this is the first I've seen a video with you prettied up. You look really nice. 😁 Thank you for sharing your info. Syncronicities at work today.
I love the word intuition 😌 Tarot cards, slow intentional yoga and meditation continue to help me hear my intuitive voice. She is very quiet and calming. You always make me laugh because I can see all the ideas floating around in your head. Thanks 😊
I love it too ☺️ it is wonderful to know how to tap into your intuition and listen to that inner voice! Hihi and yes, I can see what you mean about the ideas floating in my head 😅
Sometimes my intuition would be guessing a teacher clothes colour and get it right, so i don't think every intuition is knowledge some is random for me haha😂
I need help....please... there is a evil spirt ive been battling for awhile and cant seem to banish it, im just a baby witch, ive been gathering my strength but the spirit keeps taking it away when i try to focus my energy on spells to get rid of the spirit.... please help me....!!
You look so refreshing so is SPEAKING things and it happens. It's kind of like you already know what's going to happen. And it's like a force SPEAKING thur u? Ha ha it's funny to explain..
Hello! I always enjoy your videos. I am also a follower of science. I do believe in the mystery of life as well. I would like to grow my intuition but I’ll give an example of how I have used it. Often in college I would do my research then ask my brain to put it all together and write my paper for me then move on to something else. The brain has a wonderful way of simmering and percolating all the info. I then come back later and just trust that I will have the info available that I need. Then I would write my paper which would turn out well for me. Thanks again. ☺️
Hello there my dear! A great Saturday morning with you and your informational video. Always educational, enlightening and just wonderfully expressed by you. Excellent and the part about "depression" interfering with your intuition - absolutely. I was just processing that this morning with my hubby. So you were spot on! Take care and I am sending blessings over the e-Waves for a awesome delivery of your little bundle of Joy. LJ
Thank you - so happy you enjoyed this video! It is really unfortunate how depression (or any mental health struggle) can interfer with our brain but as long as we are aware there are techniques to work through it around it 💕 sending much love to you and yours
i cant remember where i heard this but its something about scripting. That you need to be very specific and descriptive to help with the manifestation or it could appear as something else. Like if you want to manifest an apple but instead of a real apple you get a picture.
True, it is always advisable to know exactly what you want - that has a lot to do with intention and intention setting which will be another video that is part of this mini-series ☺️
Ich hab vor drei Wochen auf meiner Uni einen Kurs gemacht in Contemporary Paganism und meine Prof hat auch Terry Pratchett erwähnt! Nachdem ich so begeistern von A Discovery of Witches bin, werd ich auch Terry Pratchetts Bücher lesen 😊
Yaay, this is probably my favourite video so far since I'd describe myself as a Intuitive Witch if I had to put a label on it! Also, you're looking gorgeous 🥰🥰
Hi hon, I do the majority of my magic in this way, I use the candle herbs etc that feel right for the spell rather than exactly what their “official” use is. This seems to work so much bette for me xxxxx
Lovely that you have the same experience! I find that to be true too - especially, when it is not about for example the medicinal properties of a herb in the kitchen but rather the 'spiritual' aspect of it. Sending much love xxx
Looking LOVELY in leopard print Ms. You take all the "sit down and chat" time you need! Hey maybe a future series..just a random thought..Creating life is serious! The sacred powers women possess are often underestimated and nothing more powerful than loving yourself and caring for your inner Goddess. I trust myself fully at this point in life so I agree with being happy myself. Intuition is key. Bex just saying I appreciate your love for your work and hope you and golden nuggets are well. Take care dear...🦋
Thank you so much for your kind and gentle words! I definitely have some more b-roll heavy content coming up, as with this beautiful spring weather I cannot resist being out and about hihi but occasionally I shall throw in a sit down video too 😄 wishing you a beautiful Sunday 💐🐣
I love your new mini series. 😊 Intuition is so important. Thank you for your videos.... and you look stunning. ❤ P.S. In letzter Zeit habe ich nur Stress und schlafe kaum. Deine Videos sind Balsam. Danke, Bex! 😌
Yaih!! So happy to hear ☺️✨ and thank you 🥰 ohhhh das tut mir sehr leid, dass du so gestresst bist - ich hoffe es kommt bald wieder eine Ruhephase auf dich zu ❤️ hab ein schönes Osterwochenende
Really need this. Due to stress I feel I am not connected to my intuition. All mixed up....great to recconnect to my intuition. Happy Easter/Ostara too.
So sorry to hear you are suffering from too much stress at the moment - I do hope things calm down for you and you can listen to your inner voice again 🙂💐🐣

Because I sometimes struggle with depression and low self-esteem due to my upbringing (they do love their gaslighting), I used to question my intuition quite often. Because it can't be that bad, surely? It's just my fear talking. Well, my intuition was often right and it can and will be that bad. I learned to accept that. What works the best is a higher power like an angel or a boddhisattva. Their guidance was never wrong. The more you work with them, the clearer is their message.
You’re such an awesome, beautiful person. Thanks for all the tips, and information. Love from Missouri, USA
The part about depression dampening your intuition was so eye-opening, together with the negative emotions. Also interesting to hear that looking at your dreams can enhance intuition - would you make a video about that? Dreaming as a witch? My dreams are all over the place. So far I couldn't stick to consistantly writing them down, because I have several dreams per night.
Me too!! I love other people’s drama… there was this one girl once in a phone call saying how she pretended to be asleep to listen to her SO talk to a friend… it seemed so promising I didn’t have my coffee to go….
Fantastic video, thank you!!💕I can’t count the amount of times I’ve ignored my intuition and then something happens. I really need to listen to it more often.
Thank you! And yes, listening to your gut always pays off :)
I loved this so much! I lost touch with my intuition over the course of my marriage, and have been slowly working on it since the divorce!
Thank you for breaking this down!
Great video. This has been very interesting, especially the bits how depression can affect one's intuition and how headaches can also tell you when something isn't right. I have been in situations where I knew I shouldn't been doing something and turns out I was right but didn't listen. Also for many years my eyelids have been twitching, especially when I'm stressed!
I have the twitching eyelids too! Usually only on one side - the most annoying thing but also a very good indicator for me to realize that I need a break 😄
My mode of witchcraft even in spell work which for me deals with altering my conscious by switching off the rational side & then doing my intentions to achieve the desired results without effort. 🙃
Happy Easter to you. Observed the full moon and will do a simple ritual. Thank you for the lecture on intuition. Being in a situation and reacting to it in a positive manner is something I am working on. Must catch up with some reading. You also looked lovely and your personality shines through.
And to you!! I hope you have a magical day today ✨ lovely that you enjoyed the video topic! Sending much love and happy Easter 🐣💐
How - did you k ow about the laundry thing…. But - now I save my favorite vlogs for watching with full intensity ❤
Look at you, you are absolutely glowing!! I had to turn down the brightness on my monitor. Casting positive spells for you and your family.
You are ever so sweet ❤️ thank you and sending much love to you and yours
I drink te whit a message. It says " we should be in a position to intuitively feel" it's a sign. 😍
I am reading the Tiffany Aching series based on your recommendation. I am on the 4th book I think (I shall wear midnight). As a 54yr old and somewhat new to this path, I am really enjoying them ;)
Ahhhh that makes my heart so happy!!!! 😄👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Hi Bex! I was preparing for the full moon werewolf Jesus (because how could he not be with a full moon on Easter) when I saw that you posted. Your content always seems to line up with things I’m dealing with. Anytime I don’t trust my intuition, I regret it. Great video! Thanks for the reminder. 🥰🌈🖤
Hihi had to giggle at the werewolf Jesus 🐣 so happy that this resonated with you and was something that you could use in the moment! 💐
This made me very intrested! How are you seeing Werewolfs and how is Jesus a part of it? There was a werewolf moon in Januar, is it now too?
@@s1gune Hi! Sorry for any confusion. It’s just my sense of humor. Full moons = werewolf / Easter = Jesus, so Werewolf Jesus since the moon is full and it’s Easter. 🥰🤣 I make my Christian friends so angry sometimes. 🤣
Always thought Jesus was a vampire - with the resurrection and all, wine turning into blood...
@@littleerichsenstudios2292 maybe he’s a hybrid? 🤔🤣
I really enjoyed this video, but I 100% fangirled when you brought up Tiffany Aching :)
I have found that sometimes we have to accept that we may never know when our intuition has been correct; particularly when it comes to others. At least not straight away anyway. I found it quite frustrating when I was younger (a bit of a shadow there for me, actually). I lost count of the amount of times I had intuitively known something that was denied at the time. I now just smile as I know its our right to not acknowledge things everytime we are asked, especially if its a difficult situation. There has been quite a few times however, when the person has later come to be and said that i had hit the nail on the head and I was 100% "right".
Thank you for this video. I've always been a sort of a skeptical about intuition even though I have experience it first hand. I tend to lean for on the scientific side of things and your scientific explanation makes so much sense. Lol, this is very freeing 😊
Yaih - so happy you enjoyed it! And I definitely have the same feeling - I always needs some sort of scientific reasoning with my magick hihi that way you really understand the how's and why's behind it all ☺️
I haven't watch the video yet, I'm only 5 seconds in, but I just had to pause it and comment on how beautiful you are. Seriously! From the inside out, you can see your inner glow shining through. Physically so pretty too! I love how you can be with your hair all done and with makeup like this, or basic hair and no makeup, and you always look amazing. I'm new to your channel, only a few months subscribed, but I've been binging your vids because the information is amazing, and it's like you seem to get younger in each one. Thank you for the teachings that you put out, it's really helping me in finding my path. I absolutely adore and love you! -A thankful baby witch in the USA.
Ooooh thank you so much - I think it is the pregnancy hormones hahah I will try to enjoy the glow while it lasts before I turn into a momby for the next few months 😅 so happy to hear you enjoy the videos ❤️ happy witchin'✨
Loving the bun & ear rings🙌🏼
Thaaaank you 🥰
High quality videos and channel! I was inspired by your videos to do my first piece of spell work ever :)
Oh thanks so much - what an honour! I hope your first bit of magick goes fabulous ✨☺️
Love this!🥰
I tend to get a sense warnings about negative people or environments
This The Witche's Cookery youtube feature on Developing Your Intuition One Skill Every Witch Needs contains some helpful ideas that I wish I would have accessed sooner, even just the ideas on how vital it is to pay attention to improving one's mood on a consistent basis-aiming to be happier and believing in oneself and how that relates to intuition are some of among the multiple spiritually vibration raising discussions/content in this Developing Your Intuition.
This video is BRILLIANT. You never cease to amaze me with just how much You know and your natural ability to teach. You pack so much information into your videos and you're always so bright & funny while at the same time you are sharing key knowledge to have. I am truly loving your channel. Keep up the awesome work! Blessed Be 💚
Intuition the way you presented it, was simply brilliant! I'm just an observer of different subjects that intrigued me, Like I said brilliant thank you.
I have a good intonation i work as a security guard and I make people phone me when choosing people for roomates so I can read them better with there voice. I have tarot cards and a pentium board. That i use often with a tigers eye I were to work to protect me.😊thank you for the video
I enjoyed this talk very much, thank you.
Thank you. This was such a great explanation. Thanks!❤
Good morning! Oh this was perfect timing usually my intuition is very accurate guide for me but sometimes it misses too. Good example; Yesterday I was feeling as happy as the fool in the fool card, doing my Monday shopping. Walking right along looking up at sunny sky, I opened the door to the local pet store and was bitten by a dog 🐕 right in the doorway lol. A poor lady struggling with 2 dogs she couldn't control. I swear my intuition says this was a message sent by something. Loved this ❤Thank you
Oh no! I hope you are okay! What a way to start the day 😅 so happy Zou enjoyed the video ❤️ have a wonderful day today!
WOW Bex you are positively GLOWING!!!!! You are so beautiful and thank you for this vid. Blessings to you and yours ❤️
Ooooh you make me blush hahah thank you so much! Much love to you
another witches cookery video to make my full moon Saturday even better! thank you xx
Oh what a sweet thing to say ❤️ hope you have a most magical weekend ✨
I would love to have you as my mentor ♥️ I love your videos and energy. You remind me of of myself
Thank you! Just staring my journey to know myself and get guidance. Your worlds are now new knowledge 💕✌️😻
I’m an ardent follower of your UA-cam channel because of the way you talk about witchcraft. It resonates with me. You aren’t someone who has to have all the current tools that they see. You use what you have and talk about intentions instead of tools.
I have questions. Ever since I started this path I’ve been trying to go back as far as I can to understand the beginnings of witchcraft - not Wicca. Those who follow Wicca do that because it’s what they need. I want to research and discover as far back as I can the beginnings of the craft. Here are the questions I have at this time:
• Before Wicca, were the terms Beltane, Ostara, Mabon, and Imbolc used? I’m trying to determine if the Wheel of the Year existed prior to Wicca. If so, was it still called that?
• The first mention of witches I know of is the Witch of Endor in the Bible but was there a mention of witches before then? Were witches called something else beforehand?
• In the area where you live, what is the history of witchcraft there? Do you live in the area that held Nordic beliefs?
I thank you for reading my ravings. Not only do I practice, but I am also an investigator of the craft.
I will keep watching you and the wonderful way that you present the path. Thank you for making it so enjoyable.

Hi Mindy! So happy you enjoy the channel ☺️ so to answer your questions:
Yes, the holidays on the wheel of year are rural festivities that did and still do exist throughout Europe (the wheel of year is based on the climate and festivities here). The Wiccan names are the ones derived from Ireland and the UK. Of course they had / have other names in other languages. We also see similar old festivities at the same times of year outside Europe with similar themes. They are based on old rural traditions throughout the year, superstitions of the people, different lore and so on. They don't originally have anything to do with witchcraft - just with farm live and the cycle of life that people observed.
I film a vlog for every holiday, where I talk much more about the history and different customs, if you are interested.
2. What we title 'witch' / 'witchcraft' today has nothing to do with the former term. Back in the days people believed evil spirits / witches to be the source of bad harvest, illness, etc. as they didn't know how else to explain those things. So they tried to keep them away with what we nowadays would call 'folk magick'. So what a lot of 'witchcraft' nowadays is built upon is those old folk superstitions that the regular people held.
3. Every country all over the world has a 'history of witchcraft' because that is quite literally the way people thought back then. If you are asking about paganism, my area was settled by the Celtic and Germanic tribes. But of course had big overlap with Nordic paganism too as Europe was very much in motion and connected through the centuries.
Hope that helps :)
@@Thewitchescookery Thank you so much for your extensive answer. I appreciate it.
I thank you for this wonderful educational video I really had some issues with my intuition and this video really give me boost of confidence when I'm using my initiation as you have mentioned I I could use my body as mode initiation by the rhythmic pattern that the body responds to great idea thank you much appreciated.
I started to watch your videos because I wanted some informations about Beltane and I fell completely in love with your light and humour. Thank you for those videos ; they are educative and so funny to watch ! Plus your accent is so so cute !!! (I am French so... I cannot judge but I can appreciate ahah !) I will keep watching your previous videos and follow the next ones !!!!
I have not had any "training" to develop my intuition. However I lived a very rough life in my 20s and intuition is the only reason I am still around
Life can be great training in itself - especially if it is a bit rough. And yes, listening to your intuition is one of the most powerful ways to keep safe and sane
you give me a lot of Hilda vibes from Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina and i LOVE IT
Oh haha I love that!! Thank you 💕
This might be a silly question but do you write books? I would love to read your work. You are a fascinating person. Tacit knowledge; succinctly put! Thank you x
This is such a key skill!
Very much so!
I just love your earrings where did you purchase them please?? Love your content xxb the Shamrock Witch 🧙🏻♀️ ☘️🙏🧜🏻♀️
Great video!😁
Love your videos 🙂 ....einfach klasse 👍
Vielen Dank 😊
Wow. That's a lot of science and witchery in one video. I loved it. Luckily, (happily) I come from a long line of matriarchal intuitives. Many of us humans, especially, women have had that "gut feeling" knowledge beaten or suppressed out of us through the generations. It is, in my opinion, one of the reasons for so many of the worlds woes. Climate change comes to mind. Domestic violence, child abuse. Intuition isn't just about having that sort of knowledge but knowing how to react to it.
I remember the first time I watched one of your videos, I instantly intuited a kinship with you. So glad I found you and your channel.
You're better than a double espresso for my mind, body and spirit. Thank you for your hard work that comes across the screen as just two old friends chatting.
I love your videos!
Greetings Bex There are times I don't listen and oops I should have paid attention.
Happens to me too once in a while! But as long as we realize after, we can always learn and strengthen our trust in our gut feelings ☺️❤️
I met Terry Pratchett back in the 90s
A bit random but your skin is absolutely glowing whilst you’re pregnant 💚💚
Thank you! I am enjoying it while it lasts 😅
I think this is the first I've seen a video with you prettied up. You look really nice. 😁 Thank you for sharing your info. Syncronicities at work today.
Hihi thank you!! I think it's the pregnancy glow 😄🐋 so happy you enjoyed the video
I love the word intuition 😌 Tarot cards, slow intentional yoga and meditation continue to help me hear my intuitive voice. She is very quiet and calming. You always make me laugh because I can see all the ideas floating around in your head. Thanks 😊
I love it too ☺️ it is wonderful to know how to tap into your intuition and listen to that inner voice! Hihi and yes, I can see what you mean about the ideas floating in my head 😅
Ni is my dominate cognitive function so I pretty much listen to my gut feeling for everything.
That is a wonderful thing to do! ☺️
Omg yes I am a people watcher 😅 at a mall where ever there are lots of people
Sometimes my intuition would be guessing a teacher clothes colour and get it right, so i don't think every intuition is knowledge some is random for me haha😂
I need help....please... there is a evil spirt ive been battling for awhile and cant seem to banish it, im just a baby witch, ive been gathering my strength but the spirit keeps taking it away when i try to focus my energy on spells to get rid of the spirit.... please help me....!!
Thank you!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
You look so refreshing so is SPEAKING things and it happens. It's kind of like you already know what's going to happen. And it's like a force SPEAKING thur u? Ha ha it's funny to explain..
Very helpful. For further reading if anyone is interested, I found “Intuitive Witchcraft” by Astrea Taylor very useful! 💚✨
What is the difference between ritual and spells?
What Pratchett did you just recommend? I've met him
It’s such a pleasure to have you guide a magical weekend.
☺️ so happy you think so! Have a wonderful Saturday ✨
How do I know the level of intuitive power I have?
10:15 does anyone know what shes saying here??
Hello! I always enjoy your videos. I am also a follower of science. I do believe in the mystery of life as well. I would like to grow my intuition but I’ll give an example of how I have used it. Often in college I would do my research then ask my brain to put it all together and write my paper for me then move on to something else. The brain has a wonderful way of simmering and percolating all the info. I then come back later and just trust that I will have the info available that I need. Then I would write my paper which would turn out well for me. Thanks again. ☺️
Thank you for the information. I really need to use mine more. Your information has helped me.
Happy to hear that this was helpful to you! Practice makes perfect ☺️👌
Great video, many thanks. Have a wonderful day and take care 😊🙏
So glad you think so! Have a magical weekend :))
Love from Peru!!!
Right back at you 😄💖
Hello there my dear! A great Saturday morning with you and your informational video. Always educational, enlightening and just wonderfully expressed by you. Excellent and the part about "depression" interfering with your intuition - absolutely. I was just processing that this morning with my hubby. So you were spot on! Take care and I am sending blessings over the e-Waves for a awesome delivery of your little bundle of Joy. LJ
Thank you - so happy you enjoyed this video! It is really unfortunate how depression (or any mental health struggle) can interfer with our brain but as long as we are aware there are techniques to work through it around it 💕 sending much love to you and yours
Thanks for the video…making breakfast lol 😂 listening carefully though…stay safe and take care !!
hehe wonderful! Hope you enjoy the chat and the breakfast 🥞☕😁 and have a fun day!
i cant remember where i heard this but its something about scripting. That you need to be very specific and descriptive to help with the manifestation or it could appear as something else. Like if you want to manifest an apple but instead of a real apple you get a picture.
True, it is always advisable to know exactly what you want - that has a lot to do with intention and intention setting which will be another video that is part of this mini-series ☺️
Ich hab vor drei Wochen auf meiner Uni einen Kurs gemacht in Contemporary Paganism und meine Prof hat auch Terry Pratchett erwähnt! Nachdem ich so begeistern von A Discovery of Witches bin, werd ich auch Terry Pratchetts Bücher lesen 😊
Ahhh wie cool ist das denn hahaha ich mag deinen Prof jetzt schon 😄 Hoffe Sie gefallen dir!
Could you recommend some books? I'm always looking for more books!! Fiction or non fiction 😁
I was actually just thinking about making this a video for the summer holidays!! Now it definitely goes on my to-film list 😄

Yaay, this is probably my favourite video so far since I'd describe myself as a Intuitive Witch if I had to put a label on it!
Also, you're looking gorgeous 🥰🥰
Oh Yaih! So happy to hear ☺️ I live intuitive witchin too! Can't wait to see you next weeeeeek 💐🐣
Hi im new to your channel
Welcome to the channel! Hope you enjoy :))
That was great! You are awesome!!!💙💙🦇💙❄️🦋
Yaih - so happy you liked it ☺️✨👌
Hi hon, I do the majority of my magic in this way, I use the candle herbs etc that feel right for the spell rather than exactly what their “official” use is. This seems to work so much bette for me xxxxx
Lovely that you have the same experience! I find that to be true too - especially, when it is not about for example the medicinal properties of a herb in the kitchen but rather the 'spiritual' aspect of it. Sending much love xxx
@@Thewitchescookery yes exactly! I usually just take what feels right! I love that kind of magic, just feels so much more natural xxxxxxx
Looking LOVELY in leopard print Ms. You take all the "sit down and chat" time you need! Hey maybe a future series..just a random thought..Creating life is serious! The sacred powers women possess are often underestimated and nothing more powerful than loving yourself and caring for your inner Goddess. I trust myself fully at this point in life so I agree with being happy myself. Intuition is key. Bex just saying I appreciate your love for your work and hope you and golden nuggets are well. Take care dear...🦋
Thank you so much for your kind and gentle words! I definitely have some more b-roll heavy content coming up, as with this beautiful spring weather I cannot resist being out and about hihi but occasionally I shall throw in a sit down video too 😄 wishing you a beautiful Sunday 💐🐣
I love your new mini series. 😊 Intuition is so important. Thank you for your videos.... and you look stunning. ❤
P.S. In letzter Zeit habe ich nur Stress und schlafe kaum. Deine Videos sind Balsam. Danke, Bex! 😌
Yaih!! So happy to hear ☺️✨ and thank you 🥰 ohhhh das tut mir sehr leid, dass du so gestresst bist - ich hoffe es kommt bald wieder eine Ruhephase auf dich zu ❤️ hab ein schönes Osterwochenende
@@Thewitchescookery Ich wünsche dir auch Frohe Ostern! 🐇🐿🐣🐓 Möge auch Ostara dich schützen. 😊 Happy Easter everyone!
Really need this. Due to stress I feel I am not connected to my intuition. All mixed up....great to recconnect to my intuition. Happy Easter/Ostara too.
So sorry to hear you are suffering from too much stress at the moment - I do hope things calm down for you and you can listen to your inner voice again 🙂💐🐣
Have you done a episode of Faery Witchcraft yet?
I haven't but I was thinking of doing a witch vlog on fairy lore from my area soon! ☺️
@@Thewitchescookery that'll be great and I'll be watching for that vlog Thanks and Blessed Ostara
Blessed Be!!
Yesterday I purchased a book and the title of the book is "Forbidden Mysteries of Faery Witchcraft by: Storm Faerywolf. I'm not entirely sure if you might have heard about this Author at all?
😃
