Learned and informative,thanks.❤

I'm sorry, but no one's time, disability or mental health status should give them moral pass to support someone who oppresses people in an even worse way than they're experiecing (and then the environmental impact as well!) for '5 mins of feeling good about themselves'. We need to start having communities to help these people, so that they don't feel morally 'justified' to exploit people born into worse circumstances than them, and can lean on their communities instead.

So agree on Psychic Witch! Definitely a long term marriage that one 😅

What is this white female statue you have in the back? I have the same one gifted to me by my grandmother from Sicily and I never knew who it was.

You are doing amazing with these videos and everything even while struggling with sickness❤️‍🩹 make sure to take care of yourself and rest when you need it🫶💕

This is so great, I really hope other people join in!!

Happy Mabon, Blessed Contents.

You are a Peacefully Great Person. I am proud of how you advocate for change and peace in witchcraft community and world events. You are very Phenomenal.

Personally my Ancestor Work is Doing Cleaning with the intention to honour my ancestors and Howling to honour the witches who came before me in history and in myths, legends such as Baba yaga.

Thank you. I really enjoyed this.

I love sitting and listening to your videos! It feels like a relative telling you life stories!!

You have the best t-shirt collection!

I love this! Big agree about Psychic Witch, a lot of books become "trendy" unjustifiably, but for that one it's deserved. I like his other witchcraft book too, Mastering Magick, and I have been recommending that one for beginners more lately, I feel like it covers more ground. It's awesome to see new and in a way "secular" (I guess, not affiliated with any specific religion) books on witchcraft being so thorough and accessible! I started with Wicca-based books in the 90s/00s, and that was almost all that was available (especially before we could order books online easily). Books that actually go into the origins of the practices they describe are like a leap forward, and I'm so glad they exist! 💖

Love this!!❤

Thank you for the insight! ❤

I have to admit I never do protections during spells and have rarely ever cast a circle, and when I did, I did it without calling any spirits (just "drawing" the circle with my hands) because spirits and psychicness are not part of my practice (even though I'm into some kind of animism). But I like this about today's witchcraft, that different perspectives and practices can go alongside each other (with of course credit being given in books to specific origins and traditions!). Ariana Carrasca's book sounds so good though. It's on my wishlist since you did the review in the other video. 🙂

I love this Tag! I am going to be adding books to my wish list for sure! I have already picked up Spellcraft and Spellwork from my local store on your recommendation! Thank you for another great video! 🌠

Questions most witchcraft content never addresses: 1) Where is this information from? 2) What reason do I have to believe any of this?

Books for beginner and no mention of Scott Cunningham. Times change, time flies :D

This is a great idea! Snog- psychic witch by mat auryn (I haven't finished it, it seems amazing but one sentence in the introduction concerned me about dodging gates of closed practices but I could have misunderstood it. Snog - Yoga for Witches. Incredible book so far. Marry - Marshall WSL 's book Cunning Words. It's so creative and unique and really builds on itself. I'm really enjoying it. Marry - Plant Witchery by Juliet Diaz. SO packed with wisdom. A great resource. Marry - A Spell In The Wild by Alice Tarbuck. This is a beautiful book. Really recommend. Hex - HedgeWitch by Rae Beth because it again doesn't explain where aspects of the practice come from and uses unverified information from history. Also very Wicca flavoured without saying so. I still think I'll get some value from this book for sure no hate to Rae Beth. Also just a lil calling in that you used the word insane and insanity a lot, which is ableist language (I know very commonplace but figured as the activist witch you may wish to be called in to be a better ally) Great video! My reading list is so long but one day I'll get around to it all!

I love your channel! Activism? Witchcraft? Made by a queer person? All of this combines into one of my favorite vibes. Thank you!

Count me in. I have long ago 8th Gg grandpa born in Piedmonte Italy. Sardina in my DNA on my dad's side.

This was awesome! I definitely want to buy the first book, I have the second and (sigh) third books you mentioned. I discovered witchcraft during the pandemic and Thr Modern Guide to Witchcraft is one of the first I bought. I read through it once, and occasionally use the spell section for inspiration to write my own spells. It was at the very beginning of my journey, and I didn’t know better. I’m autistic too. I’ve read Psychic Witch from cover to cover, but have yet to start the exercises because of some nebulous fear I haven’t worked through yet. I’ve been inspired by Hex the Patriarchy and Rebel Witch more recently.

Thank you for another great video - and thank you for the best hashtag for a theme ever 😁

I think your right. No modern book on Witchcraft should introduce people to pieces and parts of a hodgepodge like that without giving references for where it came from, so a witch can learn more. I don't think that a modern witch choosing to practice like that is problematic though, just the book. A modern witch who practices like that has done a lot of research (hopefully) and knows where things came from, and has learned their craft through a lot of hard work. At least in my experience. But that's not how you are supposed to teach it to the next generation. You're supposed to teach the fundamentals and guide the new witch safely through the learning process. Seems like that "Hex" book of yours is trying to appeal to those "I want everything now, super easy, without a lot of work" new witches. I'm not sure that the book didn't actually do you a favor and teach you a lesson though. 😊 I find it hard to put a book in any of these categories because no book is perfect, and all books are precious. Or at least they are in a society that doesn't rely on oral knowledge. To me everybook has some value, some place. But I am also a book-a-holic. I read books to expand my brain. And even the worst ones will have something of value to give. At the very least my brain might flag something in the book as nonsense that I need to figure out, sending me down a rabbit hole of more books and information until I have tracked down the real dirt I needed to know. That said, I have one that I will warn people about. The book has some value, but the entire thing is based on a founder who was "initiated" (sexually) into his craft when he was a preteen by an older woman he met in the woods. And I just find that a morally repugnant thing to be the basis of a whole Tradition. Also there were a lot of other problematic elements to the book. However there were parts of it that "made me think" as I read. And that's one of the main things I seek in books. Most of it made me think "ew, no this is wrong" lol. But it still did make me think and I feel like I expanded my philosophical knowledge simply by my rejection of the books principles. The book is called "Betwixt and Between" by Storm Faerywolf. And I never finished it. I am now torn. Because destroying a book is an anathema to me. But I also don't want to keep it and I don't want to send it out into the world to spread its poison more lol. I will probably eventually put it in my recycling bin tho. I won't put any other books in any other category tho because to me there is a time and place for many different books to enter ones life and there are books that are for some, and not for others. The very first book I ever read about Witchcraft was in the 1980s called "Witchcraft the Old Religion" by Dr Leo Martello. I don't practice Italian Witchcraft and I never did, but it was an amazing read that I needed at the time because I needed to know what Witchcraft was, and the first sentence of the book opened up my entire universe and set me on the path to where I am now. I also really dislike when people bash Silver Ravewolf books. I mean she was never my idol but she wrote books at a time when there really were not a lot of books available. And the mass appeal of her books was one of the only ways to get published back then. I think that anyone who didn't live through the 80s and 90s as a witch struggling to find their path and who they were, has no business bashing Silver Ravewolf and her early books. If you want to recommend other better modern books, fine, but recognize the privilege we have in our current times and appreciate what we have, without bashing someone for doing what they had to before we had the privileges we have today. I am still learning about who you are as a TH-camr/witch. And I hadn't realized until now, how big into Ceremonial Magick you are. I am more of an earthy, nature witch who learns about mesolithic hunter gathered and early Celtic and Slavic customs and art and traditions and just kind of absorbs it all into my brain as I go. I did start in Wicca and have called plenty of guardians in the past, but over the decades I have moved away from that into a more loosey goosey practice of my own creation. I don't cast circles too much any more. Mostly I bless spaces and call upon deities. But I cast so many circles over the emyears, I am not sure that I can say that I am not energetically creating them stilll lol. Anyway I love your channel. Keep making your videos. You make me think. And as I mentit, I love thinking.

This is a fun idea!!

Avoid Stephen A. Flowers/Edred Thorsson. He was a huge racist and probably is in the Afterlife. It sucks in Heathenry, but it's crucial to check the authors for racist ideologies, because it's huuuge in that community. In witchcraft, there's so many people appropriating from Hoodoo, from making poppets and gris-gris bags to many oils (van van, come to me, road opening, etc).

Also silence isn't the only form of meditation I love journeying which is when someone talks you through a story or takes you to meet a god or goddess! Also yoga nidra is a meditation for sleep or walking meditation there are hundreds of different kinds! So yeah I can't sit in silence either but try different types because there is something for everyone to help us calm and let our thoughts ease xx

I cannot use pendulum either I always thought it was because I don't have much feelings in my hands I love charm reading though xx

This is an interesting conversation. The points comes from fear. Men can and do rape women (and vice versa). That fear is real. But trans people also face dangers for being who they are. Women have suffered since birth for being women. But that doesn't take away the suffereing that trans go through. I'm struggling with this one. Neither side should dismiss the fear of the other side. Thank you for making me think.

I've been thinking about the issue of finding using pendulums difficult. I personally like using pendulums, but quite a few people I've known over the years had found it difficult, or didn't like it - and often because of the issue of this relying on small body movements. As a result, something I've thought about over the years is: could throwing a die/dice be used as an alternative? I've never tried it (no need for myself, and no-one else was interested), so didn't post about it until now as it was this morning that I remembered I used to use three coins to cast Yi Jing oracles when I was younger, so ... maybe? If "the Universe" can act quickly enough to affect a coin oracle, could it act quickly enough to affect thrown die/dice? It would be necessary to define/test a system (e.g., even numbers for yes, odd for no, etc) Anyway, just a thought

Rosemary is one of my favourite herbs as well! I planted some outside my home this year and it’s thriving :) I would love to see how you use the Tesco rosemary to create bundles for fumigating your home

Ive worked with aphrodites for a few years now and I actually just started putting bees on her altar aswell!! They are pollinaters of flowers and live in a matriarchal society serving the queen, their empress. Drones are all female aswell, the ones who do the pollinating, which is a very sexual act, it is how flowers reproduce and how they make the sweetest honey. I didnt think that deeply about it until I started writing it out but im glad I did 😂❤

Loved and very much resonated with some of what you said! 💖

Yay! More Witchy Queer Content Creators! I am a little late to the video but I really enjoyed this interview! 🌷🌻🌹
