As my mother says "A black cat crossing your path just means the cat is going somewhere. "
Your mother sounds like a wise lady!
One thing I see so often in my witchy groups is "I saw a crow today, what does that mean? I heard they're bad omens!" Well, it means you live in a place where crows also live. I see a crow, I get excited because it means I got to see a crow! Hell yeah crows!
😂💖yes!
Crows are amazing! I love having so many in my area.
Agreed! I used to live in a place where a murder of crows would swarm outside my window ❤
Love - That one more suitable
I’ve heard people say similar things about ravens. Where I live there are crows, ravens, mourning doves, vultures, and red tail hawks. I see the red tail hawks and ravens the most. The mourning doves stop by every now and then. Sometimes I’ll see crows fighting a red tail hawk, but I don’t see the crows often. If I’m lucky, I’ll see a vulture flying every once in awhile.
"don't get on your high horse just because you're spiritual". yes!!!
*sips tea aggressively*
I knew a woman who was, as my family calls it: a spiritualist christian. She found jesus/god in everything she did. Once she told me how she found angel wing feathers on things, including a spoon she was putting in the silverware drawer. She sees it as god and I saw it as, your house is dusty as hell because you have three children and a lazy husband. if anything its a sign you need to clean.
LOL please tell me you told her that
Dust collects from not being used. Busy places are straight up dirty- not dusty.
I'm so glad you mentioned the subconscious. I definitely took everything as a sign my first year when everything was new and magical. What I've found to be true for me since then is that the patterns I notice and the things that stand out to me usually say a lot more about my internal world than anything magical or coincidentally mundane. Seeing a hawk and a raven chasing each other in circles might not have been a sign from elsewhere to dump a toxic friend, but the fact that that's how I interpreted it told me I needed to explore that feeling. Having a lot of jewelry break could be a crossing, or it could be stress and self sabotage creeping out in clumsiness and carelessness. I always pay attention when something sticks out to me, but it's usually me trying to tell myself something. It doesn't have to be magical to be valuable.
This is so true and you said it beautifully.
I agree! 💜
I love this!
"It doesn't have to be magical to be valuable" is SO important and true!!!!!
Paying attention to what sticks out is EXACTLY it... If everything is a sign then, nothing is a sign.
When I watch you, it makes me feel like it's autumn... I don't know why 😅 I love autumn by the way.
Blessed be
That's probably one of the best compliments I've ever gotten!! Thank you!!
That is definitely an awesome compliment! 💜
I’ve been trying to figure it out. It seems like she has a lot of good mixes of warm and cool tones, along with having nature in the background and things we associate with fall. It’s such a nice vibe
I like being a non-special NPC, someone else can be “chosen” XD
People tend to forget that 99 percent of the world is filled with NPC's. Odds are you are one. As such explore it and master it. :)
“Consistency, patterns, divination “ yes yes yes! I agree so much!
"spilled hot sauce on your favorite pants" personal story?
I like the rule of three.
1 is an accident
2 is a coincidence
3 is a sign.
Would have saved me a few chains. Turns out my pentagram REALLY doesn't like metal.
Mundane magick is more powerful than people like to believe.
Yeah, in Taoism, we have a saying: Power is not in the mystic.
@@seven7upndown241 That is psychology. Belief is a powerful thing.
just before i started my witchy journey, i began seeing moths everywhere. they would land close to me, on my window, on my computer, on my room. EVERYWHERE. seeing moths are not something you usually pay attention to, unless it happens frequently. so if i did, that tells you how many times it would happen.
and then i started having weird "déja vu" dreams about the stupidest things, like someone telling me something important at work or going to get money on the ATM. very mundane things, but premonitions nonetheless. this would happen three to four times a week.
that was when we had a family reunion and my relatives mentioned that my great grandmother was a witch, and maybe that was her way of saying i was ready. I've been practicing for years now!
you just gave me goose bumps
Gonna be honest I see moths everywhere ;w; they scare me
@@allnatty3407 if it's something recurrent you could 1. be living near a nest or 2. be a target of a person that passed on
Yeah. Some things ARE signs.
I have that friend. She always thinks someone is out for her and Im like "dude maybe your teenage kids are just crappy drivers." She thinks all this little things mean something.
All of this was really well said. I've been a witch for almost 20 years now, and I'm still seeing witches that have been around longer than me jumping the magical gun all the time.
The "Chose One" is my LEAST favorite trope of all time. I wish it wasn't as big a thing as it is!
Yeah especially because the “chosen one” is usually chosen to beat a big bad guy when- if he’s so big and bad it should be multiple people teaming up together to take him down. As many people as you can get realistically.
Though I do think everyone has a purpose in life wether it’s just leading a beautiful life of love or being a lawyer for the underserved or being a witch. If you’re chosen to be a witch well congrats on finding your purpose, everyone has a job and purpose and I don’t think being chosen to be a witch equates to you being Harry Potter or Merlin.
Yes! It makes me feel inferior because I wasn't chosen so that must mean that my life sucks lol
You worded this in such a wonderful and concise way! We have to accept that a lot of things just exist without any sort of special meaning to them.
What's happened to me almost two times now, is I would spot a word that I've NEVER seen or heard of before, and I would learn the definition. Then, as the day goes on, I end up watching something on TV or visiting friends, and in one day, I would hear the exact word two or more times!! I'm not saying that means anything, but this video reminded me of those times!
Lol, I'm too forgetful to recognize patterns. When something wants to talk to me it bangs me straight on the head and goes "hey, I'm here ya know!"
I had a period of time where I would get dreams about my teeth falling out. I read about symbolism in dreams but couldn't connect the symbolism (something about lying or hiding important things from others) with any major part of my life... Turned out my subconscious was just telling me that it was time for a visit to the dentist and the dreams stopped after that visit :P
Omg YES thank you, I’d watched all your videos already a few weeks back and missed seeing these types of videos! Happy to see you :)
I've been practicing for 18 years and much of what you say is still applicable. YES divination is the equalizer of discernment. I will say that the more immersed you get into the practice the more common and reliable these things do become.
I like how grounded you seem while expressing this message. I do love the your channel and cant wait for more! thanks
TW mental health:
I try to be very very careful looking for signs because I use to do that when I had psychotic attacks 5 years ago. I prefer to miss something out because I wasn't paying attention that to enter in that kind of dynamic again. It's not fun, I can promise.
So be careful, and take care of yourselves 💜
Yup, I had the same thing when I experienced psychosis. I was convinced nearly everything had a secondary, subconscious meaning and kept asking my sister "is this a test?" ... Deffos would rather stay more oblivious than fall into thinking like that again. Huzzah for meds that make sure to keep me on this side of sanity! XD
Thank you, Olivia. Common sense is so refreshing.
Thank you so much. I think this is most helpful for beginners. We all have those early moments when we are like... IS it?! So grateful for your words... I’ve struggled with a friend lately who needed to hear this. Share-worthy, as always!
I’ve only been practicing for a year, but over that time, one of the first and biggest lessons I’ve learned in is that obsessing over things is pretty much never good for magic, just like it isn’t good for you in the mundane.
I can’t agree with you more! Some Facebook groups I belong to make me shake my head....and then I’ll answer accordingly and politely. I’ve seen other bash and be really REALLY cruel to newbies - it’s so incredibly wrong for anyone to judge or act this way towards others. I understand their excitement, as we were all there at one point or another. May be all be happy. May we all be blessed with kindness. May we all be healthy. 💕❤️💕
I actually got a sign that I confirmed through tarot. Earlier I was talking to Thor and giving offerings then I go upstairs to play video games. Nearly the whole time , I switch to another game and a few minutes in it rains again.
We are playing the "How many times can I click on the like button?"-Game :D
I'm not completely new to the witchy world, I have spent a whole lot of time like lingering on the edge if you want to call it that, but I never had a term or could point out what I was looking for.
Spirituality and alternative stuff in general is a thing in my familiy BUT whenever someone stumbled about something new I have always found myself being like: Wow, okay, calm down, the "normal" world has not just vanished because you found a new perspective on it ...
For me it sometimes was really hard to talk to people about spiritual things because I am kind of guided by logic (sorry for weird expressions here, I struggle to point it out in German as well, using English does not make it any better xD).
I have been looking for a kind of spirituality which speaks to this logical part and does not feel like I have to put that part of me away for the practice. It's been quite hard sometimes to talk about spiritual things, even though my family is very open to this, because there was this very effect you just discribed: EVERYTHING was spiritual. Like physical and chemical laws and everything else around us had just vanished - even though we're talking about people who literally studied sience here.
I know that I myself can get carried away sometimes. As you said that is pobably quite normal. But I am like jumping around right now because I see you (and other witches) talking about the fact that there is a completely mundane part of our world and it is literally the part that is far better seen. I feel like I finally found people who understand my struggle with being mundane and spiritual at the same time and never really being able to adress that because most people would just not want to see one or the other.
Well, that came out as a wall of text. Sorry about that. I just had to get my thoughts out because I am SO happy to have found the door to what I was looking for.
As I said I am still kind of new to the witchy world so there is probably a lot more to discover. But for me it feels a little like coming home right now.
So thank you for doing this video and pointing out the (for some of us probably a little harsh) truth that being spiritual does not mean to be chosen or to be above the mundane part of the world we're living in.
Thank you
Loved this video. I remember when I was younger and I definitely went through the “it’s a sign” phase and even the “perhaps I am chosen” phase as well. I think many of us have gone through this and I know sometimes hearing these truths can really suck, but we all need to understand that sometimes that cloud just looked that way because we interpreted it that way, or that cat looked at us because it acknowledged another being in its presence and not because Freyja was trying to tell us she wanted our shiny new necklace ...so yeah I get what you are saying and thank you for sharing. This is a great video for just about anyone that is considering what is or is not possibly “a sign” 😊 Cheers!
You said “magic is not a fix for everything.” I agree, but I think even mundane problems can benefit from magical energy as a booster alongside mundane solutions.
This video just made me subscribe, and I loved this so so much! For a couple of years I was caught up in "everything is a sign", "I am on this spiritual mission because of x,y,z", and "I have to do this and that to be a lightworker" and completely forgot myself and forgot to come back to the mundane. When I finally had the breakthrough of, "this is bulls*t, I'm having a human experience and I am suppose to be here" it was lovely and I fell in love with the mundane all over again.
This is a must. A message so simple and poignant at the same time that we only dont see it if we dont really care. Very enlighting. Thank you. As a matter of fact, i'm going to save this video to watch it later once and again. This absolut truth ran through my spine. 💜💜💜💜
Great topic and good advice. Another way to put this is: "Don't be so spiritually minded that you are of no earthly use". Thanks for keeping it straight and simple.
I was obsessed with signs for a month or so, in my opinion it is really normal to do so when you are new to all this. But then you find the balance, and it's really satisfying!
I would like to say: i have specific things ive learnt to look out for from the paranormal, and its sort of like my spirit guides know what im looking for now, so thats how i get signs. If i see angel numbers and it just catches my eye, i cant look away or i keep thinking about it, i look it up asap. If i have weird dreams (cause i invited them to manifest) i record them as soon as i can and then interpret as i go. Also, i use the rule of 3 for attention grabbing, if i see it 3 or more times im like "OOP- gotta blast!". Had more tips but ofc the Queen covered it already~ 💛💛💛💛 love and light babes.
Love me some angel numbers! I've had numbers thrown at me for weeks now and right in the midst of feeling drawn into a legitimate path of witchcraft. Now its like an avalanche of confirmations left and right. Its quite glorious!
@@choosejoy93 yes!! Im glad!! Ive been getting a lot of financial abundance signs and this job i manifested, through COVID has been supporting me and i just got a raise!! The universe is really something 💕
And “ PHYSICAL LIFE is so everyday and ordinary”. We need to remember that. 🌷😊🌷
Thank you for this! I feel like this definitely needed to be said and I feel like I’ve seen this a lot as well when I scroll through social media.
Thank you, seriously. In this video, you clearly & thoroughly explained concepts that I knew I felt strongly about but couldn't quite vocalize myself or organize within my own mind. It also helped ease some of the apprehension I had about trying to interpret things for myself in the future & what precisely to do about it. Glad I watched this, I appreciated it.
Thank you for putting this out there 🙏🏻
Yes! I love how practical you are in your approach 🙏💜
THANK YOU! I’m new and even I understand that! I’m so glad that there are people like u to guide baby witches like me😊
Superb video Olivia! Thank you!
This! Right here, this! I feel like it's so easy to feel "negative" or "paranoid" feelings that can cause unease or fear- as practitioners we should take note as you said, but embrace them and move forward. Being aware and positive is the most constructive thing we can do! Thank you for putting it out there!
For me I have always done the magpie counting rhyme, even befor I was a witch. So me in the middle of the path on may way to school trying to count how many magpies were on the aldi roof
Thankyou for this, it’s good to be reminded that consistency is important. I’ve never thought about it like that before! 👏🏻
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!!!! We all needed this I feel like blessings sister 🙏🏽🖤
This is amazing I have so many friends who could benefit from this no fluff video love it such great work xxx
Thank you for the simplicity that you bring.
*this is a good video...consistency of signs is confirmation for me*
What’s funny is I just had a dream about meeting a spirit last night and was looking into if it meant anything. I’ll keep my eye out in case anything else happens because I’m still a beginner. Thanks for the advice! ❤️
The past several days I’ve been seeing 4’s everywhere. Everyday at 4:44pm I look at the time. My gas tank was $24.44. Spent $44 at the laundromat. It’s very comforting.
The way I see it, we are each of us, are special, in our own enchanting way 😊
Another amazing video so many of us grew up with the chosen one stories and assume the same but it’s so important to stay grounded xx
I was taught this same advice from my Aunty when I first started learning this path, it’s nice to know there are others that feel the same way, very informative 💜
Love this video!!! Thank you! Love and Light 🔮🌞💕🧿
I love how you keep it real. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much! This is amazing information and as someone just dipping there toes in to Wicca and Magical work, this was really eye opening to me ❤️❤️❤️ Love love Love your videos!!!
This was very informative for a beginner! Thank you so much! I love your videos.
This is an excellent video!
I agree 100%. Take note, research, wait and see how things progress. It’s okay that the universe isn’t constantly calling out to you. It’s okay to notice tiny details and connect synchronicities from them. You have to make the call on how much faith/power you put behind your signs. Biggest thing I think you can take away from this video: If the universe wants you to know something, it WILL make it known.
I love your videos. You are very well spoken, professional and down to earth. You are very knowledgeable and you dont seem to judge anyone. You are a great teacher! I just wanted you to know that.
First video I’ve had the pleasure of seeing: thank you!! It’s always a good reminder to realize that everyone experiences the mundane, and I appreciated many different points you brought up. I really like your voice on this platform and I will be coming back to watch more! And I’ll be sending this to others! Some tough love in this video 💓
Yay i have been waiting for this all week
Thank you for sharing, this was very helpful because I have always wondered how to tell if something was truly reaching out to me.
This one is by far one of the most informative videos a beginner can watch. I did find it interesting how you pointed out consistency (bc I've been experiencing that, even though I've been practicing almost a year now), but the way you described everything was outstanding. Thank you so much! 😁👍
You explained it perfectly! I had a friend ages ago who was a Native American elder, and he had a saying, “Sometimes a bird’s just a bird.” I’m behind on your video’s, I’ll have to catch up, but this was great!
I was writing about omens and signs in my book of shadows and this was super helpful! Thank you!
Wow! Amazing. Thank you for this. Clarity.
Thank you for this video! I feel like this topic isn't discussed enough, especially in such a calm manner.
🙌🩵🙏 thank you for the honesty. 🙌
Omg thankyou so much for this video I've been searching for something like this
Yeeeesssss. I see this so frequently. I think it is so important to keep ourselves grounded mentally sometimes. I also see a lot of "Have I been hexed!?" questions. Most likely, the answer is no.
I just want to say you have helped me so much and thank you
Difficult topic, but so so necessary. I learned a lot! Thank you so much ❤︎
Great counsel, you are amazing. Your videos show your strong capabilities and energy.
Very useful vidéo
Thank you Olivia ♥️
Yes!!! Thank you for this video!! I love the way you explain things too!! My brother has a friend just starting off and she thinks almost everything is a sign, and this is a really really good explanation about them and what to do if it is one. Great video!
YAS! I struggle with this! Also, I received that tea from a friend this past holiday season and I really like it. Sans the decaf.... Thanks Olivia! I really enjoy your content and I hope you continue to produce things you love! 💜
That is very wise. We all want to feel special and attended to. Practical first... Appreciate this alot! 🎇
This was really informative! I love your “educational” videos no matter how long or short they may be, they’re always so meaningful. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
You're so level-headed. You make very good points on your topics of conversation, and your advice is very wise! 🧙♀️🙂
Thank you, for posting this! 🙂 I have tried too explain this to, so many people.
thank you for this 🖤
I personally try to look at the "long game," which is just another way of saying what you said.. Basically not taking every incident as a sign, but looking at pattetns. I came into this practice with a lot of skepticism and I don't have the energy to analyze every single thing.
Good realistic sense ... what a sip of great tea
I suffered from this issue a while back. A lot of the spiritual gurus I was following at the time were the type to jump to conclusions. I started realizing the more intent I was placing into something, the more it made sense to me. If I asked for a sign, I would wait to see it consistently, so the fact that you're mentioning it in this video just kind of supports the notion that it helps when your spirits and guides know exactly what you're looking for. Sometimes they're specific, sometimes they're not. You really have to focus on it and consider what it was you were asking for at the time (because at least personally- i tend to forget!!! :'D).
I once had a pretty super focused sign: I was wondering what path to take next in my life, and was just kind of dreaming and wondering, without any real intention to it. That day, I kept getting the numbers 333 pop up in random places (I like numerology, and just didn't think much of it other than I was surrounded by some nice energy that day). Then I went for some errand runs, got to doing my laundry, and as I leave for my car, right outside the door of the laundromat, some broken branches made up the symbol for the rune Algiz (which has three branches pointing upward) caught my attention rather vividly. I looked it up and recognized it as one of the runes I used in combination with several others as a mark on my arm to represent "The Protected Path." And so figured I was being protected while I figured my own way out. :) And that was the end of it (on that way day, anyway).
It was very magical in its own way, albeit rather mundane way to end my day, no less. :)
Thank you for this. I really appreciate hearing this. "We are spirit in body having a human experience!" I have heard this so often lately! Apparently I need to hear it :).
I've been reading Cheerios wrong all this time? Darn it! Thanks, I needed to hear this! I am going to share this with my daughter as well.
Honestly I’m just starting out and I think I’ve been searching for signs due to everyone online asking what things mean and saying they saw signs and you might have just stopped me from going down a dark path losing touch with reality by reminding me this so thank you so much !!
It’s good to know that it’s not the norm to see signs!
Thank you for helping our lost people
Wonderful! Thank you for this. Going to stick it in the arsenal for the occasional rewatch. Also, sharing... everywhere! x
Thank you Olivia for being grounded and logical as always. This reminds me of a section of Laura Tempest Zakroff's "Weave the Liminal".
The Harney and Sons Paris tea is the absolute best store-bought tea in the market!
exactly what what meant to be seen
Thank you, this video is really helpfull
Very cool, and necessary. Thank you for reminding those who look too fsr into things. Well done. 😁❤😁❤
Question for anyone who’s comfortable answering!
I’ve been exploring herbalism / witchcraft and my spirituality for a few weeks. Mostly just a lot of reading and research, I haven’t done much spell work because I want to make sure I know how to be safe first - but I have been using herbs to cleanse my space and craft teas, burning incense and connecting with nature.
A few days ago I was peacefully dreaming around sunrise and was woken up by what sounded like somebody in my room, inhaling deeply over and over. I live alone with my cats, it sounded way too close for it to be something I was hearing from outside, and I was wide awake. I felt very uncomfortable. Eventually it stopped, and I immediately saged my entire apartment.
I haven’t had any experiences like this in the entire year that I’ve lived here. Part of me feels like my practice and increasing my spiritual awareness may have invited something / someone into my room. Is this normal, does this just happen sometimes, or is this some indication that I did something wrong without taking enough precaution?
Haha yes. I remember initially getting excited at every little thing but quickly learned to chill.
I woke up and within a few hours I either said, heard, & read the word 'mundane' like 4 different times in completely unrelated things.
It's not a common word for me so I got up to do some mundane things I had been putting off like laundry & dishes. Searched the word on UA-cam & here I am lol chilling & cleaning.
Wow. Thanks the video. A love it. 😊🤗
