⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Such an interesting conversation! I could listen for many more hours to the both of you! 🥰

Ah that was absolutely beautiful and rich. I identified with it so much and it really touched my dark witchy heart

AHHHHH so lush, thank you so much for this, Lee! Here's the noise generator I mentioned around 1:26:00 <3

Yay, you posted! 🎉❤ Listening to this while working on my magical journal ✨📓

I wish you would come back to YT and share on your craft right now. I love listening to you. You always seem to spark a yes in me and we are so like minded ❤

This was a great chat, Lee! Thank you for sharing your questions with us. xo, Aurora

I love this line of conversation. Thank you! So interesting.

Fascinating info on this word. Cool.

Thank you for the lesson. Very helpful

I just want you to know this video helped me tremendously with some good habit-bulding practices, specifically at the 14min mark on how to go about deciding what room to focus on each day, and how to incorporate magic with the mundane! Tyvm for all you do and all you've inspired, I hope you keep being awesome.

Watching and then adding to watch later to watch again in a few months ❤

Nice

I'm new to the witchy path and have just discovered your channel. What a delight you are. I love your grounded, thoughtful and intelligent content. Good luck with your studies.

I just stumbled onto this video and I am so glad I did, thank you for sharing! so much practical and informative stuff here, really enjoyed the way you approached the concept of altars and “witch’s stead”, I’m going to use this idea going forward xx

I loved this! 🥰❤️ this is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I’m so glad it popped up on my recommendations! You and your wife seem/sound really lovely! I’m also from the UK, I’m in Staffordshire, I inherited my house from my Nan and grandad and then my dad, we were the first family here, as the house was built for the local miners in the 50’s and one couple lived here for a year when it was first built but made a huge mess then moved out and my family has had it since and we’ve never had a break in even though our neighbours have and even when there’s been like an electrical issue that could have been horrific and burnt the house down etc it’s been luckily kept from doing that until we’ve found it and can get it fixed, so I think we must have a lovely protective little house spirit, I’ve been trying to connect to it lately, so I think that’s why this videos popped up for me now 🥰❤️ thank you for sharing! ❤xxxxx

Nice.

Most excellent! I can't remember how long ago became a subscriber, but I love listening to you. You have a sensible view of the Craft, and I always enjoy watching. I've been a Witch for going on 24 years now. While I've been a Solitary Witch for the majority of that time, I am still hoping to connect with more local witches when we move next June. A witch is never too old to learn something new (I'm 59), but at some point along the journey, I became interested in sharing my own knowledge to help those looking to learn in a coven/group setting. Since you already share on TH-cam, I wonder if you will ever think differently about covens when you reach my stage in the game. Don't know if I'll be around to witness that, since you seem fairly young as things go. But where ever you end up, I do feel you are going to have an amazing journey. Peace & Blessings!

So happy to see a new video from you, Lee! Really interesting questions. I've written them down to think about more later.

I am so glad TH-cam suggested you to me Lee! Good to find another non binary witch! Loved your video on the books, you're the only one I heard mentioning Witches Sl*ts Feminists and I'm so glad cause I think yes! Witchcraft should go hand in hand with activism and I'm surprised when it doesn't for some. Thank you so much for sharing your work with us! Also yay another UK witchtuber!!! 👋🏽🧙🏽

Thanks, this gave me a lot of prompts to think about for myself I know videos about intermediate practice never gets the level of engagement that beginner content does, but it is really, really valued by that smaller audience, so thank you (Not that this wouldn't be useful for beginners. But in terms of the algorithm)

Oh Lee, I celebrate YOU and your dedication to doing the proverbial good work and thinking big thinks and letting us come along for the ride 🖤 This is a magnificent example of self examination & an invaluable template for us to do our own reflections that might hone our practices. Thank you SO much for this 🖤

So many books I haven't seen recommended! :o Though I do have a different Ellen Dugan book, Seasons of Witchery, I found at a library book sale. I almost thought it was the same one as the first you showed of hers, so I had to go check, and turns out it was just the same author! XD I also really like this one, Backwoods Witchcraft, I'm about halfway through it and it just seems really good to me, I don't see a lot of people recommending that one. XDa Great video! <3

Really insightful - been stagnant in my own craft and this was great motivation.

Great video, as always ❤ It's funny, I'm also using Duolingo to learn Latin for witchcraft purposes! I'm not very far into it yet, though. I don't know what your progress is, but have you found it helpful yet when encountering Latin phrases and such?

Zero croaks😂

Inspirational parting words, thank you

Hi, are you able to separate Wicca from Witchcraft and indicate books discussing the practice of pure Witchcraft without the New Age influences/Wicca?

Yay, exciting!

❤❤❤

HI LEE 🥰🥰🥰

Yaaaaay, you're back!! ❤❤❤ I've missed your presence so much, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the things you've got cooking. As for suggestions, how do you fix your spells when you mess up? Do you chuck the whole thing out and start over, do you tinker until it's right? Does it depend on the kind of spell which decision to make? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it ❤

There was a section about book writing in this video that I'm a bit confused about. Were you saying Thorn Mooney shouldn't have written her book? Or were you just generally saying that some people shouldn't write books? Or did I just miss the point of that section? Academia is full of things we often say "shouldn't have been written" for various reasons, such as, content is hateful or exclusive, or repetitive or just not new information, or the information is just not true. There are plenty of books written that were intended for the bible that fit in all these categories, but didn't make it in. The Wendigoon channel has a whole video on those books. However that does not mean they should have not been written. I think sometimes we view as writing differently in the present than how we see writing from a historical perspective. If you feel that your opinion is repetitive, say it anyway. That's how we learn. It is up to the reader whether they find it useful. I'm not much than a high school graduate, but as higher education is too expensive I learn on my own. I think that publication companies have to do a better job at vetting their authors for sure, because hate should not be spread. But if and when it does, we use them examples of what not do. We have done that historically and I think that we forget that we are making history. So let's remember that witchcraft books are still a growing organism learning to climb its way into a mature adult version of witchy publications. Like you said we have to critique our behaviors, and in order to do that we have to have things to critique. I think part of this spiritual path is about allowing people to grow. That's just my note about academia. I hope that makes sense.

We would love to work with you!

I’ve really been loving your videos and your energy. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching

Thank goodness I'm not the only one that believes that there's non binary dieties

Book list at 18:03 - Casting A Queer Circle: Non-Binary Witchcraft by Thista Minai - Queer Magic Power Beyond Binaries by Lee Harrington & Tai Fenix Kulystin - Queer Magic: LGBT+ Spirituality and Culture from Around the World by Thomás Prower - Witchcraft and the Gay Counterculture by Arthur Evans - Queering Your Craft: Witchcraft from the Margins by Cassandra Snow - Outside the Charmed Circle: Exploring Gender & Sexuality in Magical Practice by Misha Magdalene Can’t wait to pick up some of these!

Nice list! I highly recommend 'A Witch's Guide to Spellcraft' and 'By Rust of Nail and Prick of Thorn', both by Althaea Sebastiani. Those books really made me to work on my witchy skills. Also, a special mention to 'Practical Magic' by Nancy B. Watson

This video was so lovely. Thank you for sharing not only your tips but your story.

I've been called a dyke and a bloke a few times, especially when young (shaved head and boots etc.). Fortunately I am not uncomfortable with being viewed as an outsider type. Did one of those gender quiz things recently for the hell of it. Came out as 65% 'masculine'. Whatever that's supposed to mean. I guess I'm not Barbie? I know the main image of the sexy witch in floaty clothes and vampy makeup is out there in TV land, but literally none of the female Witch's I know personally are girly types. Dionysus is one of my favourite godds, perhaps because he's not a typical male deity. As for masculine / feminine, I avoid these terms entirely in my Craft, as they're way to loaded with modern Western assumptions. I look at polarity in a more cosmic way - as in creation / destruction, right / left, projective / receptive. Polarity is useful for energy work. As are spectrums of energy (as in colours etc.) But we need to look at them from a 'what's useful' / 'what works' perspective.

Your ego needs to be very strong to practise seriously. It will have to endure the challenges of potential inflation, and especially shadow possession, when working with others; especially if you have a lot of learning behind you. Strength of ego is needed to endure the expansive mental and psychic states that arise from doing the work, so you can come back centred and stable. The ego unit, personality / identity, is important for navigating the world, interacting with others, and our basic lived reality. It's not all of us or who we can be, but it has its job and its an important one. Being silly, daft, playful, mischevious, not taking your personal BS too seriously, keeps the ego working in a healthy way. My best teachers have been filled with laughter.

Yay! You're back! You've been missed!

so glad this video exists. i should be upfront (and also apologise in advance in case my autistic bluntness comes out too much in what follows) and say that i don't believe in witchcraft as anything other than a psychological tool, i don't believe in ANY form of magic including "energy". i'm adjacent to the neopagan and witchy community, as my personal beliefs fall under naturalistic paganism, specifically atheopaganism (a particular denomination). i like watching grimoire tours and altar tours and videos about practices people do because i can take inspiration from it - a sigil to "protect yourself from other people's negative energy" can be turned into a sigil to remind myself that other's negative thoughts and assumptions about me don't need to affect my self worth, or even via the open label placebo effect to make me FEEL protected. i believe people are truly having the experiences they claim to have, but i disagree with them about the cause. given that, it bothers me a great deal to see people claiming they can heal someone's depression via waving their hands in front of a screen (as relaxing as those movements can be, admittedly!) - if you just pay them £50. to see people selling "charged" or "enchanted" items for a much higher price than those items would otherwise be worth, to see people talk about pineal gland calcification and the third eye (and then of course try to sell you courses on how to "decalcify" your pineal gland)... absolutely none of it has scientific basis. i don't understand why "people often find this practice relaxing", for example, or "this oil smells citrussy and that tends to help you focus" isn't enough. maybe that sounds mean - if you (general you) truly believe in evil spirits that need to be banished, then that's your business. but it's not verifiable, so it's dishonest imo to make people pay for that service or to scare them into paying for it. i truly have no issue with 90% of the witchy youtubers i watch, who say "i believe in x, here are my practices around it" - it's just when money is involved, or anything else that can bring harm to someone eg by messing with their mental health, that i have an issue with it. and all it takes, really, is what you're talking about - the critical thinking. if you think critically and come to the conclusion that spirits exist and energy work is possible, then cool! but usually that critical thinking will then lead you to understand that most people who want you to pay a lot of money for it... probably aren't legit. belief in magic, like religion actually, is really really easy to take advantage of. i think something i would add to your (very good) list of red flags is "if i flipped this around and make it about christianity, would it sound bad?" eg "your ancestors have a message for you, you need to pay me to understand it" -> "god gave me a message for you, but you need to give more to the church to prove you have the spiritual gifts to truly understand." "if you don't do protection magic every day then negative energy or evil spirits will harm you" -> "if you don't pray every day then satan can tempt you to sin" etc etc

These sticky notes are giving me life

I so enjoyed every minute of this and you made me chuckle. I've noticed "discernment" is an often banded about term. It's difficult enough for a more experienced witch to practice it let alone a newcomer who might lack the advantage of experience and is likely bombarded with sources of info. As older practitioner, I do think we have have a responsibility- at least to encourage gnosis. Perhaps it's a bit of an occupational hazard because magickal practitioners already have a more unconventional worldview in which they are open to ideas that are not acceptable to mainstream, making discernment even more problematic.

Woohoo, you're back!

I loved this Lee, so well said. Thank you!

Oh heeey Lee! Great to see ya! And excited to hear your thoughts on this topic
