    Oh my how I have learnt that rule "be silent in your craft"!!!
    Yes I agree I would never do a working, talk about a working illustrate a working etc that I wish to manifest.
    It always saddens me how people can be so negative about others, even other witches So onwards I strive in silence and build slowly in those whom I trust. Great content. ❤

    I have a friend who is a high priestess. I asked her how long it took her to achieve that. She was a member of a strong coven. She said it took her 19 years to get initiated to that level. She said it was extremely hard and demanding. There is no substitute for that. Seems that people are going for shortcuts now and that is not good. Many people are doing it now, not out of genuine interest but out of egotism. I don’t know the effects of doing this with witchcraft. In ceremonial magic that can be very dangerous especially with Enochian. If you are going to learn a craft, any craft you should try and go the distance and not use shortcuts. Everyone needs to learn, but learn the right ways and techniques. Thank you for the video! Great job!

    • @satori2890

      Enochian, as a Practioner myself is By Far the most difficult and dangerous form of Magick. It takes years to even by competent at.

      I have been working with the Fair Folk, Faeries, Sidhe since the day of my birth.
      I have been attacked by these egotistical shot cut using selfish negative people portraying themselves as witches/lightworkers.
      I have been attacked based on skin color, beliefs, for being born. Each one failed.
      Latest attack by these egotistical people (who are everywhere) this female warlock got dragged into a fairy portal made of insence ash. I took two pictures.

      I bought a book from another TH-cams site, she was a known artist 🎨 and a author.
      Enochian Magick was the book..I liked it, a little tiny, and more Enochian Dream magick... I found it very",Void" style

      people are practicing witchcraft out of ego will learn a hard lesson. I think a spiritual journey of trying to destroy ego and doing shadow work is essential if you're going to be a witch. A white witch anyway

    If I had to make a list of favorite WitchTube creators you would be on the top of the list because your knowledge is vast and yet you are humble enough to admit when you don't know something but can still direct people to good books that lead to the answer. In that way I feel you have become a quasi-coven leader to many who would otherwise be lost in the vast ocean of fake information or stuck in an environment that they don't fit in with.🌹🌺🌻💐🐝

    Excellent as always, Hearth! I'd love to have a "pretty" and esthetically pleasing practice, but that is not always possible, lol. My main altar (and my diety altars, to a lesser degree) is a chaotic hot mess at the moment. I'm always chasing stray herbs and dripping wax around my work space 🤦‍♀️ Plus, I have to be a little slap dash with things. My partner humors me, but he's not someone I would do a working in front of, or even talk about it with. And we live in an apartment with my adult son (he's also aware that I'm a practitioner, but not the details), so long spans of complete privacy aren't easy to come by. Fast and ugly is the only way sometimes! 😄 As I've grown in my practice, I feel far less bothered by it. 📚

I am a 40-somthing practitioner who has been following your content since 2019 when i first began my journey in learning about all things witchy and magical. Your videos have been so educational and were instrumental in the steps I took as I was learning early on. I value hearing your thoughts on these topics too. Ok, back to the video!

  • @greenwoman3424
    @greenwoman3424 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    📚📚📚 Always enjoy hearing your thoughts on things, Hearth. I actually prefer the longer and more in depth content format of you tube videos, blog posts ( oh how I miss the time when blogs were at their height, before social media took over), books, and if we are so lucky, person to person conversations. Out of curiosity, do you recall that first book you found at a library? I was in my early thirties, it was 2009 and the first one I checked out was Green Witchcraft by Ann Moura.
    Hope Spring is unfolding beautifully for you!

    Hearth, after listening to you waffle for over an hour, I could never think of you as anything other than a real person. You may have a computer like brain, but you bring the human element to everything you do. You did a great job on editing this one down, I thought it was going to be the length of a live stream. 😉

    You look so gorgeous here! I’m about 3 years into the craft and about 6 years into my spiritual path and I’ve always thought people are too naive when it comes to spiritual stuff. I’ve always had the notion that I’m just at the beginning and know close to nothing when you think about all there’s to learn.

I will help out someone if they are searching but I will also tell them keep looking to you find what makes you comfortable. My way is NOT the only way. & even though I've been doing this for 49 years I'm still learning. You never stop learning! Anyone who sais they know everything n done most...RUN!

    I like the mini-media literacy class! I love what you said about short-form content and how people should make the effort to do their own research and confirm for themselves if it's accurate or relevant. I'm a media professional in my daily life so it's nice to see people online say this. It's sad that it has to be said, but reminders are always GOOD. :)

    You look especially beautiful today, there’s something about your hair and makeup that just suits you so well to my opinion 👌🏼 obviously the channel is about the content but I do appreciate the aesthetics of the background and I can see your dedication and your work through these details as well. In general, thanks a lot, I’m very much alone in my path and you’ve helped me a lot throughout the years especially with your massive q&a’s those I absolutely adore. I’d love to hear someday that you have a course or something like that, since I believe it’s important not only have systematic and structured studies but also have someone you trust supervising you, especially when you want to go to the root of all things. Appreciate all your work, you’re a superhuman to me trying to get everything done ❤️

    Thank you Hearth, for always including everyone!! Although I don't have mobility issues myself... I find that it gets overlooked, often in witchcraft, particularly. Also, "armchair witch" I heard a TH-camr mention that once, and I was mortified because I felt like that's what I was doing. I really put myself down about it, so thank you for making me feel better about that. I've not watched the whole video yet, but I felt I had to mention how much we appreciate you for always including all groups of people and for not pretending that you have it together allll of the time! It's so refreshing. ❤

    I like to think of witchcraft studies like trying to complete your bachelors, masters, or PhD in college. You need at least 4-6 years of study/labs/internships to get those degrees. It just makes sense to me to approach studying the craft in that way.

You have given me a much better understanding of what it is and is not. Also given me invaluable advice on where to start and what the basics are and how to go about practicing them to get a good basics to start with before going into it too fast and too soon and too far before knowing and doing the groundwork first. I really had no idea where to even start before watching you. You are very knowledgeable and I like how you speak and your vibe.

    I have been watching you since 2020 when it started my magical journey. Because of you, I have learned to do my research and follow my personal path. I have watched other creators from tik tok and TH-cam where they give their knowledge but it comes from a place of "my way or the highway" attitude. You are right witchcraft is very nuanced. It took me 2 years into my craft for me to really find my strong point. I love your channel. Thank you for everything you do

    @MemoryAmethyst 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Your answers show a strong maturity and a real appreciation of the craft. In answer to to the Why would anyone expect a witch to do courses for free it comes from the days before the internet when we did everything in person and the old Gard stated that charging for craft was wrong. ( It’s been decades since I heard this but it might of come from Doreen valiente?) I was one of those who went through the “Year and a day per degree” school of thought so I entirely understand your frustration with the “ I’ve been here for ten minutes, why isn’t it working?”. Well done, young lady.

    📖📚 I loved the part you mentioned towards the end, that it's very important to talk about certain aspects - even if it might throw some people off - because it would create more safety. (Like working with demons, etc.)
    I personally have found the online witchcraft community about 5 years ago but I still very much consider myself a beginner. I also don't live in a country where there are a lot of witches or covens or anything. While I have read a few books, I do get a lot of my information from TH-cam creators. And I would be very interested to learn about blood and sex magic, but if nobody talks about it it's very hard to know where and how to start.

    📚 this was such a great take for this tag! I wasn’t sure if you would participate because you’ve mentioned in other videos that you don’t really watch witchy TH-cam so this was a wonderful surprise to see in my feed! 💕

    Although I understand the reasons behind not making this or other videos 4 hours, still I find myself wondering what you said in the other 3 hours that I missed. I have found in being present for your live streams, that are generally about that long, that they are filled with important and useful information for the entirety of the stream. This was a great video giving lots to think about. I’m so glad that I discovered you because you have been instrumental in helping me learn and grow my practice.

    📚📚 📚📚 adding extra books, because your content is unceasingly valuable as ever. long-form is my preferred format of receiving information, so don't ever think you're saying "too much"; far from it, honestly. there's a major reason why you're amongst the very small, a literal handful, amount of practitioners i do subscribe to. thank you so much.~

    Hello! First, I wanted to say I love your content and I've been a quiet follower of yours for years. Your videos on energy manipulation helped me astral project for the first time in 2022.
    Second, I would love to see more content of yours regarding "taboo" topics that you've mentioned. I see you have a pattern, and I would be 100% interested if you were to have class-style videos, how-to's, etc. I know each practice is very individualized and unique, however I have personally found that we share a lot of views and techniques on magical practice. I'm certain many of your followers agree and would love to see you post more adult/taboo topics you would be willing to share your experience on.

    Hi. Just seeing this now. Thanks for sharing. I'm a talker too. I've taken from Spells of Magic, but never heard of it, so always took it with a grain of salt, but it seemed a good source, but I di d notice some people didn't know what they were talking about. . Now I know. thank you. I always wondered why it takes years. I often feet less then because I didn't achieve a high standard of knowlledge or an iniation. Yet I find it more comfortable.i love what you said about Tiktok videos vs. Long TH-cam ones. ❤

    I like your channel so much.
    I agree with a lot you have to say. So many people flock to witchcraft bc it's a fad and has been a fad for a while now. We can see this with the over emphasis on aesthetics and flowery practice/language vs. creators who are more rugged, not as neat or eloquent, less rigid or a little more rigid. And I want to be clear, aesthetics doesn't mean that a person isn't serious about their craft, but we must admit that we have a problem with boosting content that is mainly aesthetics, but turn around to complain about the "lack of substance".
    There will be times where learning about witchcraft will feel like attending a college lecture. Other times, it's like leading a group of Boy Scouts out into the woods and teach them about the great outdoors. And a few times, there will be times where you'll have to figure it out and fly by the seat of your pants.
    Witchcraft is a craft. You must pour time and energy into it, otherwise your skills may stagnate. I have other super unpopular opinions about practicing witchcraft that I know will get me booed so I keep them to myself. lol
    I thought about making my own YT videos but I cycle between people not being interested in what I have to say, and people being judgmental because I want to do content on less talked about subjects (necromancy, cursing, infernal spirits). If I see another spell jar, I'm gonna scream! My gripe with a lot of people on the internet (and sometimes IRL) is the fear mongering around certains spirits or concepts, ex. trickster spirits and demons. Why are the Goetic/infernal spirits considered the most dangerous kind of spirit to work with? People will say that bs, but turn around and be like, "how can I attract the fae into my garden?" MA'AM! lol

    This was a great video. I’m new to this - at least becoming part of the community, and I appreciate knowing how to look for the red flags, and understanding this better. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach. You’re one of the first people I watched. I tend to Like, but not Comment, but I’m trying to change that. Thanks again. Amazing Channel!

    This is why I love your channel so much. You are you, no fluff, no getting involved in social media drama in your posts, just good, useful information given by your sweet personality. I've never felt like your content is a grift, or put out there just for the algorithm/money. You have always encouraged us to find our own way, yet shared how you do it, or your experience/knowledge on a subject. ❤🪄🕯🔮🧿💐🙋‍♀️❤️📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚

    hearth,,,EVEN THOUGH I DONT FOLLOW WITCHERY .. I HAVE THE MOST RESPECT A PERSON COULD POSSIBLE GIVE TO SOMEONE LIKE U!!!! i have learned sooooo much from your videos. i am learning about divination aka pendulums. its videos like centering/ grounding/ your trip to glasenbury etc ....places that i most enjoy. i live in Maine ,U.S.A. and you have the most gorgous country!!! im a country girl at heart anyways... i LOVE HOW YOU GO IN DEPTH in ur videos and explain things out with your own point of view... I THINK we have "lost touch" with each other due to computers/ electronics. its impossible to "show feelings" through typing . i think thats where theirs a loop hole in computer socializion. ppl just throw their reactions out there..... not taking into account the recieving end...feeling go out the window aka baby with the bathwater .....they dont think twice..and its soo damm sad!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! for everything you do..!!!! i SOO APPRECIATE YOU AND THE EFFORTS YOU PUT INTO YOUR CONTENT!!! cant wait to see the next one !!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

    📚📜📖📓 I rather enjoy your honesty and approach on this subject. I feel like social media, and certain books, give us unrealistic expectations of living as a witch. It resonated when you said you only work with deities when you need to and not every single day. That perspective is important, because a lot of us have full time jobs and busy lives. Not to mention time for other interests besides occult related topics. I need my comics, books, music, and television shows as well!
