Another interesting chat, my favourite topic is the worship of Nature spirits ! From early childhood I have had a love of everything in our natural world. I was collecting feathers, rocks and leaves when the others around me played with manufactured toys. I was making magickal faerie potions and cakes when the others were moving on telling me I was crazy. For myself, it was easy and felt right when I discovered my path. Thanks for your wisdom and letting people know there is more out there. Green blessings 💚🌱🐝💚
Beautiful ramble, thank you. I am really disconnected from Nature at the moment. It's been too long a winter, too bleak and too cold. Finally I am emerging, as far as the garden, but it's a start. I have been tending, and pruning, clearing and caring. My cherry tree needed some TLC, I've been clearing and making beds for new plans. It isn't much.. somewhere there are snowdrops.. I must go look for them, but for now, it's a welcome return to nature around me.
It's always a stretch at this time. Maybe this week you will find those snow drops. For now, may we each find our way back into nature in the small ways available 😀
I am closeted. I've only been getting into crystals and tarot/oracle decks within the past year or so. So many people still look at the term/title of 'witch' as being so negative and I wish it weren't. I brought my children up in a Christian church for 20 years. I left December 2019 and held a lot of anger and resentment . I finally worked through it all and have opened my mind to what else is out there. When I was in the church, it was like having blinders on and if you had relationships with anyone other than other Christians, it was so looked down upon. That church was seemingly the 'only and RIGHT' church and all others were misled and going to hell. I still love the Lord, just not the people inside the church. When I was a teenager, I purchased my first tarot deck, but something scared me and I threw it away. What I wouldn't give to STILL have that deck. All this to ask, how do I truly live the way I want to (loving my crystals, tarot, oracle, spells, etc...) and not feel like a disappointment to my family and others who still have such a negative connotation to witches and witchcraft? Side note, thank you for suggesting @tarotstache in a different video. I'm LOVING Gerald's videos. His live yesterday was the first time I've ever truly felt seen and heard. If you made it this far, I'm impressed. LOL Love and light to you. Love your videos!
I think radical self acceptance is key. That is not an overnight thing. I think Jesus is great and Holy Spirit still makes me laugh with her jokes; it's the institution I can do without. It has been a long road away from the church. I have only ONE friend from that time in my life, and she left too. I have found, as I move into loving who I am, that relationships that don't fit fall away, new doors open and my path becomes so rich that it is easier and easier to be this person OUT LOUD. Take it slow. Keep believing in your authentic expression and your RIGHT to be that person unapologetically. 💯 it will happen. Of course I made it to the end of your comment! Thanks for sharing and thanks for being here!
Thank you for the beautiful video! I’m just starting my practice and I’ve been finding some of the witchy books a little challenging and (occasionally) a little dogmatic even. It’s so wonderful to hear that everyone’s path is different - such a supportive message to hear at this stage of my journey. I have always felt connected with nature and for me there is nothing better or more calming than sitting with the great spirits of the trees.
This is a lovely video, thank you! You're wisdom definitely helps me. 💜 I have a few trees around my house that I've known since I was very young, two big oaks and one smaller tree, and I always make sure to give them special attention. I also have made it a habit to say goodnight to the moon, the earth, and the flora and fauna around whenever I get the mail at night or take out the trash and recycling. I would love a video on deity work! I've wanted to for a while now, but it's difficult to figure it out. Especially when I still have to keep it subtle with my family around. I hope the ones who are interested have patience with me 😆.
@@naturalwitchery Thank you, I appreciate that. It's definitely not easy, but I do my best to have little victories while I wait to be able to do more.
Awesome video April! Exactly the teachings I was looking for. I have SO MANY half read books that I couldn't find what I was looking for. I will turn to the magic inside me first. I can't wait for the deity video.
Hello I'm new to your channel, and glad I dropped in to listen to your words of wisdom , I agree with you wholeheartedly, It is a natural way of life to connect with all that is . I have a connection with Goddess Gaia, It's important to us all in many ways. I do talk to my garden to my local woodland nature reserve my garden animals birds spiders bugs, they are all there living their own ways appreciate that and we will appreciate life. Nice to have come across your videos. Look forward to seeing more Hugs and Vlessings to you. 💚🌹
Wonderful reminder. Thank you. Would love to hear your thoughts on the heartache that can result from tapping into nature. What to do with the despair. I think I’m a natural animist & this keeps me from connecting too deeply. 💗
I just found your page here!! And my jaw dropped when you said your name!! I am April!! ❤❤ Also, I know "the sparkles" that you are talking about!! I've seen them! 🎉❤❤
@naturalwitchery thank you Goddess. I am a Green Witch, a Cosmic Witch. An Ostara Witch. The Queen Persephone resides in Me. I walk and talk with the animals and trees. #BornInAprilNamedApril #PersephoneCameToMe #TaurusTribeStrong
I am an Elder Goddess and I thank you for your down to earth wisdom. When I first became aware of my magic I remember pointing out the "sparkles" to a friend and then realizing they didn't see them. This is the first time I have heard someone else refer to them. Thank you.
Such a beautiful, encouraging chat. Thank you.
I'm so glad!

And that childhood connection to nature must have stayed with you your whole life?!!

Love this, thank you. The plants and the trees brought me to this magickal path!
Yay 🐦🌸🐦
I loved this video… so cozy. ❤ I am a fellow tree toucher!

Guard your personal flame. Keep your love of nature and let your inner voice guide you.

Being in the broom closet isn't easy, but there are ways to be in your magick just the same. I'll try to remember to address this.
