      @SamanthaPajor 5 років тому +217

      I had a tea candle react badly, and I assumed it was the salt I added, but now I think it must have been some defect in the tin it was in. I can't be sure. It was so strange.

    • @ShieniLicksOnLemons
      @ShieniLicksOnLemons 4 роки тому +237

      @@SamanthaPajor salt and metals don't react well together, salt causes metal to rust and in my country if one were to leave their car in a garage after driving in the winter they're better off washing the bottom of the car with water because the salt used to melt ice will destroy the metal faster than the water would. So if you had a metal tin it may have been that? Salt should normally only create a nice orange color when it evaporates after melting so if the candle was in a metal tin the melting of salt and contact with metal could maybe cause something, or the candle was defective.

    Some great advice and advice I have often shared myself. I'd been on my path almost two years before I actually cast a spell. I'd been a witch a long time before I realised I was actually a green witch. Up to that point just called myself a witch. Nothing more. I didn't want tonlanle myself as anything in particular. I don't have a book of Shadows. I have notebooks. And I have them in physical notebooks. And on my phone and tablet.
    And you NEVER stop learning. Not matter how long you have walked the path 😊 I also say to people is this. It's not a race. You do not have to get from A to B in the quicker time ever. Nor is it a competition. This is your path and yours only. Youbare nither better or not as good as another witch. You shouldn't walk in the footprints of another either. Create your own footprints.

      I'm sorry I just laughed at "create your own footprints" because I live in Finland so either I walk in other people's footsteps or I get snow in my shoes 😂 the sentiment is correct but my brain decided to make me think about it in a literal sense, I am yet to start my journey and I don't know if I will start it. I'd want to, I'm hoping that the practice would give me a sense of purpose and would encourage me to go out there when I have to collect herbs and so on, an addition to my list of things that are helping me in recovering from depression and anxiety, but as of now I barely have the energy to see my therapist once a week...

    I am a beginner witch because I have always made potions whitout even knowing that it was witchcraft.
    I used to get a four leafed kleever, and waited until it dryed out, then I made it into a kind of powder.
    And mixed it with water and said some stuff (i guess a spell??)
    And I would give it to my brother for good luck.
    And yesterday I discovered witches!
    And I feel that this is the thing I am created to do.

    After watching a few of your videos I talked to my eldest sister, who I trust more than anyone else in my family, about wicca and witchcraft! turns out that when she was around my age she also got deeply into the craft, and we were able to talk about books, learning and points of interest. She gave me her old pentagram pendant decorated with a beautifully reflective purple gemstone, which I’ve secured into a proper necklace with some red rope. I’ve been wearing it for a long time now, and I’ll be getting some books to study further soon.
    Thank you for inspiring me! :)

    Based off of tip 3, i decided to go ahead and share some small things i do everyday for my practice.
    1. I have an altar on my desk i light every morning, weather it be with a cup of tea before breakfast, or after. And what i do is I keep a notebook on my altar I use once it is lit. I take a page out, write the date, and use a widgit on my phone that tells me my horoscope, lucky number, and color for the day, and write that down at the top. After that is done, I write down ideas I had for the day, and throughout the day cross them out. Since I struggle with many task, and quickly get overwhelmed with thoughts and projects, it is hard for me to focus and remember everything I want to do, this really helps. It also gives me something to look forward to everyday and has me staying out of bed.
    Once I am done writing all my ideas for the day, I draw my sigil either on the side of the paper, or in a corner of it before hanging it on the side of my calendar, which i made sure was placed right above my altar. Once that is all done, I use a small jar to put out the candles (do not blow them out, it will blow away your intentions) and start off with my day. If i am stuck and am having a bad day, i will usually go through a playlist I have of witch videos I save for this moment, and take notes while watching.
    Another small detail I like to do, when making tea, i use honey as a natural sweetener, and at the bottom of my cup i will draw out my sigil in the honey before pouring the water.
    I hope this helped! someone

    I know this will sound cheesy. But I'm crying. Happy tears. Tears of manifestation and inspiration. Your energy and your whole vibe throughout this whole video, has moved me. It's helped guide me in a way I've been missing and needing. The missing piece.
    I've always been drawn to nature and witchcraft. I just started my craft this year and I'm so lost. Lost in how to create or start my BOS. Or even how to start my path. What books to get, etc.
    I consider myself artistic and creative but have a hard time trusting my process and allowing myself to create. I feel I'm no good at it. This also holds me back in my craft. I feel intimated in that I am not doing things "the right way" or that I'm just wrong in thinking this is my path. It's always been something I've been interested in and drawn to... But I'm also intimated a little by it all. I dream of feeling like I can fit in a witchy coven of girls that finally accept me. But that'll probably never happen. I'm the black sheep. But when it comes to anything I believe in, I don't feel I can do it. This is all issues I have with my lack of self confidence.
    But i just wanted to say that you've helped me a lot. And I love your BOS. Total inspiration. I want mine to be beautiful and raw and full of nature like yours.

It encourages me to be more active with it every day.

    Back when I was younger I started exploring witchcraft as a religion. I looked at so many different options and in the end I was overwhelmed. Now here I am almost 20 years later and coming back to it in a more organic way. I had to travel the country to find the one place I felt most at home is right here where I was born in the Pacific Northwest. I had to go to college and try out a bunch of different jobs before I found the one that was perfect for me, working as a teacher with special education students. Now that I'm settled into a job and location I noticed myself starting to garden, and work a lot with herbs and spices and building a reference library to go with so much of my homesteading and bushcrafting and bonsai books. I also started picking up oracle cards and eventually found a deck of tarot cards that I felt were just screaming my name. Recently I took a step back and thought that much of what I'm already doing and into goes right back to the practice of being a green witch. Now I'm focusing on that aspect and working on building my craft and working it in with all the other things I already naturally do to start weaving things together in a natural way. This has led me to your videos. Thank you.

    As some of the others here spoke of the vibe that you give off is amazing. You really touched my soul. I was watching this video and tears were streaming down my face. Your voice is so soothing. Here I am 56 years old , I have perceived myself a witch for all of my life. Although I felt almost embarrassed by it. Like I had to hide my true self because it wasn't the norm. I checked out all kinds of Christian Churches and read everything I could get my hands on about other worldly religions. Because I feel like people will see me as evil if I follow my true path. Even though I am a white witch. There is nothing evil about it . Quite the opposite. I love nature and I love animals. I treat people fairly and I do not judge. I feel that everyone is equal in this world. Everyone has a purpose and everyone is beautiful in their own way. As well as with you my Dear. You are sharing your knowledge and even though I have been through so many years of reading books, reading Tarot Cards, writing in my Book of Shadows, practicing Reiki. You have touched my heart today and caused me to rekindle my love for who I truly was meant to be. I will now go unpack my tarot cards and begin again. Thank You for sharing.

Another UA-cam witch I follow recommended a few but they were from a subscription service she was pushing on her followers and I feel like those aren’t particularly “true” good recommended reads. I looked them up and the were very advanced and based on subjects from specialities and idk what I am yet. Hence needing some good beginner books!

    • @sagehoff969
      @sagehoff969 4 роки тому +48

      So! I have a few good ones :))
      "How to Be A Wicked Witch" by Patricia Telesco is a witty read on tips and tricks in the craft. It's friendly to secular and otherwise non-Wiccan paths.
      "Circle Round: Raising Children in Goddess Tradition" by Starhawk, Anne Hill, and Diane Baker is a *chef's kiss* good book. It's full of love, personal experience from senior witches, folklore, traditions, art and song. It teaches you the framework of ritual and the importance behind everything you do. Although it's aimed at parents and children, you can definitely start incorporating their works into yours.
      Any book by Scott Cunningham is a good place to start, although his style of writing is a little archaic. If you can trudge through his monotonous tone, I would suggest "Wicca: A Guide to the Solitary Practitioner".
      Hope you find what you need!

    I am in a polyamorous relationship with two baby witches, and last weekend I finally crossed the bridge and said I’d join them on the journey of this craft. Now, this past year has been incredibly difficult for me. I struggle with anxiety and depression and, due to the covid-19 situation, I still haven’t got any proper therapy for my current issues. I could not for the life of me focus on anything that had to do with educating myself and I postponed every goal I had, including binging tv shows and such.
    I found a pdf of a book online about witchcraft and I have since bought two notepads (one for examination as it’s a workbook, one for notes and such) and I have bought multiple supplies for my altar (candles, some herbs, sand and rocks). Last night, in celebration of the new moon, I woke up at 4:25 and set my altar, I listened to music and just focused on the candles and the beauty and serenity of what I was witnessing, and when I went back to bed I filled so complete and full and more calm then I think I’d ever done before in my faith (as I am a Christian).
    I am ready to learn so much more about witchcraft and at the same time am willing to give myself the time to learn and to grow.

I just can’t find a way to visualize without getting uncomfortable or awkward. I’ve decided to take a break from witchcraft in general for a few months, and I’m just getting back into it now, since it is spring and I actually have motivation to do anything at all. Changed my practice from trying to cast spells, over to manifesting in general ways rather than making it difficult for me. I’m making smaller steps for myself and I feel better than I have before. I’m actually making progress rather than being stuck at the same spot. Even though I’m behind, I’m making a better practice for myself, and I can feel comfortable in my practice. I just want people to know that there are ways to personalize your practice based on your needs. It’s your practice, and you can do it in your way.

      Start out with one crystal from a metaphysical shop. One that will hopefully suit your needs! Keep collecting them over time based on what you need for what you're working on and you'll have a collection of crystals from all of those projects. As for the not real part, that's just for you to figure out! Intention is so much in all types of witchcraft. If you want to continue down these types of craft paths (crystal paths), you would need to research them on your own and find out if this type of witchcraft is truly for you. And remember that it's totally ok if it isn't! Some people can't keep up with certain lifestyles because they are busy or they can't find the motivation. But please, please, please remember to do research on the types of crystals that you would be buying and if they would go together with your spellwork.

      Do some research on crystals and semiprecious stones. Start with ones that interest you. Research fake stones. After a while you begin to recognize stones that are dyed, or cracked with heat treatment. Stones also have a certain feel to them. When you've handled them for long enough, you can start recognizing resin or glass pieces by weight, temperature, and coloration.

    Came here to be annoyed by new-age female """witchcraft"""
    But there's a peaceful energy in this video, and I like your aesthetics, and I listened for a bit and came out with some new knowledge.
    Now I like you. I guess I shouldn't shoot people down just because they're associated with a group I dislike, everyone has things you can learn.

    I recently decided I was interested in witchcraft or druidry for its mindfulness and intention. Your channel has been the best I’ve found so far. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi there! I'm a 13 year old girl :) I'm a beginner witch (Baby witch) and a lot of people say I'm too young to be in the craft, And that witches are evil and or dont exist. I do well with charms, herbs, crystals and potions and sometimes spell casting I think... I really like how open and nice you are, I hope I'm welcome here as a witch despite my age. :) I also do not know what type of witch I am, Does anyone have any ideas?

    I don’t know if this is just one of the phases in life but I’ve always admired witches and I love mixing random things, idk if I want to become a witch or not. But it’s interesting..
