A little tip for broom closet witches: the best way to hide your altar from prying eyes/parents, is to give it a fairy garden aesthetic/look. and if people ask what it is, just tell them it's an aesthetic/decor thing. that's what I do.
I keep mine in a cupboard with some stuff crystals and sigils to ward parents away. Very, very new to the craft so I'm not sure how well it will work but so far it's working I think. Also similarly, I've planned to call it my aesthetic crystal collection since my makeshift altar is mostly crystals, which my parents know I like anyways. If they ask why it's hidden in a cupboard, I'll just say it's because some of them fade in sunlight (which is true!).
@Nightcore Midnight• Alters don't have to be very big, I personally keep mine in a chest that's no longer than my forearm. I've seen a lot of little alters in tins smaller than your hand for travel. Whatever space you can spare is enough. I like to make a lot of art that incorporates sigils, and nature for my craft. There are tons of little things that can be easily hidden if you look around and think about it. It is your craft, whatever works works. :)
I was active-duty Marine Corps for four years; let me tell you, having to share a barracks-room with two other guys, or a squad-bay aboard a ship with fifty or sixty, didn't leave space for a lot of fancy tools. I wound up applying a lesson from Basic to my spellwork: Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome. There was a particular spell midway through my first deployment where I used a camo bandanna as the altar-cloth, the elements were represented by an MRE salt-packet, a Zippo lighter, a bottle of water, and a lit Marlboro Red stuck filter-down in the sand. My cauldron (at times also used for scrying, eating, drinking, and heating water to shave with in the field-) was a blue enameled-tin coffee mug I bought at my first MOS school.
I was paying attention I swear, but then I started looking around at my surroundings while still listening to the video, and then when you paused and said, "Ma'am?" I panicked a little. 😂
Tools: - Use herbs you have at home - Tealight candles - Pen and Paper - Color Magick - Mirrors - Bowls of water - Jars - Journals, Sketchbooks, old binders - Old fabric (charm bags, spell dolls) - Dirt, sticks and flowers - Salt - Printers - Yarn, String, cords (knot magic) - Dollar Store (Candles, bowls, boxes) - Craft store (string, needles, paint, threads) - Air Dry clay (candle holders, incense trays and puppets) - tiny jars - tiny candles
Almost every store is dangerous for crafty people, whether it be witchcraft, art, or otherwise. I cant walk into any store without thinking of how i could use something for a multitude of things. Tis why i opt to leave most of my money at home so i dont go broke lol
Michals, stop and shop, dollar store, Lowe’s. Those places are good for getting things like candles, herbs, pots, little bottles, salt, things for travel altars, jars, journals and sketchbooks, string/twine, plants, and other things good for witchcraft
if i recommend buying anything, a simple tarot deck ended up being essential to my journey. other than that, I carved my own wand out of wood I collected (respectfully), made my own runes out of pebbles I found, I collected beautiful stones from the ground from all over the world when I traveled and now I use them, and of course tealights are a great cheap thing. my journal also functions as my grimoire
Where the idea that you had to have so many fancy tools to practice Witchcraft came from I have no idea. Witchcraft is based in nature and has always been. Our ancestors didn't have a super store to run out to get an ornate alter cover or a jewel encrusted athame. They used what they had or made it. You really don't need a single tool to practice. If you can't practice in the open not using obvious tools is your safest bet. Thank you Olivia for stressing this point. It is one I try to get across all the time to new witchies and a few old crones as well.
Tracy Puydak I completely agree with you comment. It’s so tiering hearing all the “you need this and that tool in order to practice xyz”. It’s so nice to read a comment such as yours with emphasis placed on nature and simplicity. So refreshing!
Tracy Puydak I completely agree. Unfortunatly, we live in the age of consumerism. Adds teach us from a Young age, that if we get X we’ll be happy. And if we get Y we’ll be more desirable. When baby witches start their journey They Are still in This mindset and Think They need to raid an occult store in order to be accepted and qualified as a witch. But guess what: This ain’t Hogwarts. We Got No supply list.
@@katrinepetersen2566 we don't know each other , but your comment was spot on perfect . Nobody knows when they walk into my apartment that I am a witch. Instead they see various decorative items around my house that I had commissioned from Tribal Artist who create their wares the way our Ancestors would have done. So even though I am Wiccan I guess my rituals at first glance appear to be a Chickasaw culturally. I do speak Chickasaw and when I cast my circle I do so in my Tribal language. I have started changing into Traditional Tribal Elder Ceremonial or Stomp Dance attire when stepping into a ritual state of mind. I have taken recipes for different food dishes served at various times of the year and working out the kinks on creating a full Wheel of Year Sabbat recipe book. It just dawned on me that I sound like I am creating an Eclectic Tradition based on my Tribal ancestry. Chicka-Wicca anyone ? Who doesn't want to wear turtle shell rattles on their feet while shuffling around dancing in a big ass circle ? Not that different than Wiccan Traditions I have come across over the years. So I have devoted over 25yrs of study of my culture because I was not permitted to know anything about my Native Heritage . Blessed Be or in Chickasaw "Chokmah" which means "Travel in Light" .
I've been practicing witchcraft for over 14 years now and I'm so happy to see someone explain how simple it can be to started and how magic is truly all around us in everyday objects
Good news (please read this)🙏🏻 ghost and spirits are real, angels and demons are real, GOD IS REAL!! God loves us so much that He sent his Son Jesus into the world to died for our sins, he was buried and raised to Life again on the third days. No one is perfect, we all have sinned against God, and deserves to be punished in Hell for eternity because of our sins, but Jesus already paid the price for us on the cross. God is offering the gift of Salvation and forgiveness of sins to anyone who repent of their sins and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only way to Salvation. Accept Jesus today before is too late, God bless you!
Can I just say, because this seems like the right place to mention it, I have found so many useful, witchy shit at my local Goodwill. Olivia is absolutely right that you don't need to go out any buy expensive, aesthetic stuff for your practice. But if you go out and look, you can find vintage stuff like candle holders, incense burners, jars and who knows what else at garage sales and thrift stores. I just found a vintage sugar bowl that looks like a little cauldron for $2! Sorry to brag, but look in thrift stores. Thank you for your time.
I work for GW and I have found TONS of tools, alter supplies, books and even clothes! It's my FAVORITE place to find my witchy desires next to nature of course!
Ah, yes, the dollar store... my SO really dislikes going to the dollar store with me bc I *ALWAYS* find things I can use. It's never a short trip when I rock into a dollar store, lol
I loved this video because this is what I am telling people ALL THE TIME, for like the first six month of exploring witchcraft I only used birthday candles, a bowl of water/earth and a feather I found and people don't realise how great it worked and won't believe me when I tell them about that!
i'm really looking into and researching witchcraft, but i haven't started out yet. do you have any tips for beginners? the craft is really calling to me but i have no clue where to start and this comment seems like a reliable source :))
@@scarletbrigham1498 personally I started with tea magick and sigil magick! you can easily look up information on the internet how u can do these, but all u rly need are tea and a few already existing ingredients in your home for tea magick, and just paper and pen for sigil magick
I love this video. I personally only use tools that I have. Magick is not for tge rich people, it should not get expensive. It should enhance your mind to communicate with the subconscious mind.
I use salt to cast my circles a lot! I just sprinkle it around the perimeter of where I want my circle to be and visualize its energy springing up as it falls to the ground and forming a protective sphere around me. Then when I take the circle down, I just sweep it up as I see the energy returning to it and throw it outside (away from plants) to return its energy to the earth.
As a baby witch, I love the simplicity of this. I've been fighting against being overwhelmed and I've really been focused on trying to take my time and let myself naturally gravitate towards my interests instead of diving in head first into a million different things. A lot of these ideas were super creative and as someone who strives to be Zero Waste and eco-friendly I LOVE the idea of using what you have. Thank you so much for this!
Nice find! I've been on the lookout for one. Wish I had the granite one my mom had when I was a child....but my brother was the executor of her estate, and he either sold it or kept it, I really don't know.
As a cashier at Michael’s craft store I totally recognized certain items and which aisle they’re in haha! I’m sure you can imagine the daily struggles I have not to buy something every time I go to work.
I worked at Michael's, twice, and a smaller arts and crafts/framing shop back in the '80s. Although I was guilted out of my interest in all things magick at that time (by my now ex and a few others) those stores got huge chunks of my paycheck back, lol. Now, at this point in my life, as a photographer, and coming back home to my true self, creating things and delving back into witchcraft, I would SO love to be working at Michael's again. I dearly miss custom framing, plus-- craft supplies, as well as "craft" supplies, haha! The nearest Michael's to me is too far away to make the wage worth the drive.
“Looking through a witchy lense” Is a rlly go way of convaying that point, and that is really good advice because when I first started I was like “I don’t have any witchy stuff” but once I REALLY started looking I found TONS of stuff
Me too, i was trying to download this because I'm on the train when she yelled and I really responded im trying to download you hold on... Like who does that XD
I read that egg shells are used in peace and protection spells, so I've started keeping all of my egg shells. I dry them and mix them with chalk to put sigils of peace and protection warding under my doormat! Also, At hobby lobby i found some great candle holders in the shape of the tetragramaton, which For me is very powerful and i use it all the time in sigils,.. sooo i was glad to find a candle holder in that shape. 😍😍😍
Hey! Love your channel! My R.E teacher has asked me to bring in some of my 'wiccan-y' things as an example of different religions. I get to show it next week and I am so exited to finally have my religion praised instead of ridiculed (Like it usually is in my school) ! 😆
@@stanbp2835 I took my mini altar (it's in a little tin) and my runes, I also explained about other things like my book of shadows and why i didn't bring it. Hope this answers your question! 🙂
nope nope nope i will not do a mirror spell. i come from a family of mediums, and i don’t like the vibration i get from mirrors. i have two in my whole house and that is plenty😂
I don’t like mirrors either, always have got bad vibes from them as long as I can remember especially when I actually have witnessed stuff come out of them on 2 occasions! I only got 1 mirror which is plenty for me.
whenever I take a shower I flip. I can’t deal with mirrors. I have 2 In my bathroom and I pull back the curtain every 5 seconds because I feel like somethings in the mirror.
@@caitlincagney4965 can you make a cover with cardboard or something the size of the mirror with a rubber band or strechy hair tie at each corner to cover?
For some reason I always feel a bad energy when I turn on my shower, and I just feel like running out of my bathroom and waiting in my bedroom until that energy goes away. Idk if its my paranoia or if a spirit decided to be in my shower whenever i start it. I do have a mirror in my bathroom as well, im hoping its not a portal for spirits now.
My husband asked "how you gonna be witch if you're afraid of mirrors?" 😂 scrying is for people who don't have anxiety and visual processing issues/visual disturbances. I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one drawn to this path who is afraid of mirrors.
TH-cam has suggested your channel and videos so many times but I didn't want to check them out at first because everyone does their videos different and because of that, it's hard for me to find multiple witches on youtube if that makes sense. However, yesterday I was putting together a witchy jewelry charm hanger thing and wanted some noise in the background. I tried this video for the fun of it (plus who doesn't love budget-friendly witchy life hacks?) and I now love your channel.
“ Introverted but willing to talk to plants” I’m gonna use that at Thanksgiving if someone’s willing to talk to me 😆 Thank you so much for this video I am a baby witch and you have really helped guide me through the beginning of this wonderful path.
I love thrift stores. I've found alot of witchy things in them. Candle sconces, candles, glass bottles and little covered glass bowls, large old rigid spined books....the possibilities are endless lol.
I Made Runes out of air dry clay! When I Started to read about different things used in the practice, I thought "I bet I can just make some runes of my own right now" and put my energy into them as I Sculpted and painted them. I don't know if I could have as good of a connection with cheaply brought runes so I made my own for cheaper.
When I was much younger and first starting out all the books I read made it seem like you had to buy all of this stuff and it was really disheartening to my 12 year old self lol .Thank you for being an encouraging force for the young ones/ beginning witches. ♥️
I recently discovered you and I love your channel 😊 I've been practicing for three years and use most of the things you said, but I never had the idea of the votive christian candles!! What a great idea! Absolutely going to use them now!
Girl you're a life saver im a baby witch and literally worry so mych if I can't get supplies because I don't want to turn heads since there are people in my household that wouldn't approve of witchcraft but you're literally the best thank you so much❤️
After I put my sigil on my 7 day glass candle when it's done, I put it in a brown paper bag and break it and thank my Archangels. It is complete. Thanks for sharing. Your sister Sag Peace, Be safe
Loveee this video! 💙 I have a book for daily spells & it usually calls for a bunch of foreign objects/ plants that are sooooo hard to find; THIS IS WHEN I IMPROVISE. I either use something similar or I completely use my mind & the spells are just as powerful, if not more. To anyone struggling w/ lack of tools, I’m here to tell you using your mind works wonders ✨💫
THANK YOU! As a baby witch on a tight budget this video was invaluable. I went into a New Age store yesterday and nearly had a stroke looking at the prices on some things.
I'm a crafty witch and I love to go into new age stores for inspiration! I take pictures of things that inspire me, and if ever questioned (never have been) I would say I'm taking the picture for someone who wants one of (whatever item). Completely true! That someone is me. 😏🤣
Thrift store is far more rewarding. Then it can feel like things find you over time as your practice gently evolves. That along with handmade from natural materials & finds feels (to me) more authentic & better for the earth. And honors the idea of genius loci. Never wanted to be a store bought witch - but rather a folk practitioner. Our ancestors didn’t visit stores for their craft after all. It also keeps your home from screaming “witch!” unless you want it to. 😂 I do fall for the occasional book or tarot/card deck though. 💗
I’ve got the killer combo of being poor (at least I need to buy all personal things with my own money), young, and secret. What would you recommend I do to get supplies?
DIY, plants, recycle, pieces of fabric, stones found around, jars bottles boxes (you can even make boxes or sachets out of rolls of paper). Pinterest! Colours. Do sigils. Guided meditation on youtube. Subscribe to a library or download books. Save the papers that have only been used on one side to make your dirty grimoire. Who says you can't make an offering to your deities or guides or something? Gift them a drawing. A sloppy poem.
Another good place to find little jars, coloured ribbons and candles etc is ali express, just be careful when reading how big the jars are and pay attention to how many "mls" of liquid it can hold. There are ones that are 0.5/0.7mls and that's about the size of a fingernail! So read carefully and look at the reviews for picture references. Personally I'd say smallest I would get would be 10mls it would hold very small amounts of flowers and small amounts spices and herbs. Ideally I like 20ml ones (not to small or too big) which will hold a decent amount without needing to be topped up too often but are small enough to fit a lot of them on a shelf or in a box. Hope this helps Others that want cheap and cute small jars, that aren't too small! #wonderlustcoven
I love my travel alter! It's a small hello kitty lunch plastic box that I've filled with some of my magick tools and crystals and things. It's silly, but I love it
May I suggest Sculpy, a clay that can be hardened on a regular home oven. And Thrift shops are great places to score some magical things. Also, putting some sand/salt in a bowl make it into a odd sized candle holder instantly. Great ideas here. Thank you.
I just want to say this video is everything. I’ve been seeing a lot of you tubers say things like “you need to” or “you have to” but you’re keeping things very subjective and over all general and I love that. Witchcraft is subjective and in the end you go with what feels right in your heart and that’s like the general vibe in this video so go you !!! Also I just love your attitude and your energy!! Blessed Yule!!💙🌙🌊
I really love this video. Ive been wiccan since nov 2014, but i can only afford books because i can afford to buy one since I love reading and I need to ALOT of research for everything. This video brings nothing but sweet relief. Thank you so much! 😊 Blessed be, sister
Tip for broom closet and new witches; writing your intent around the wick of the candle before burning it is an easy spell that takes a few seconds and a pencil. I use it all the time when I'm too lazy to cast a spell. When the wax melts the words, the spell is done.
If you like yogurt, particularly Oui yogurt, wash and save the jars. Initially, I'd saved them for little sipping glasses for Irish crème, etc. Then I realized, they make GREAT candle holders for tapers or chime candles!
I’m so glad I watched this video. I live in a very small apartment and have been getting into witchcraft and I’ve been so overwhelmed trying to figure out everything I need. It’s so important to use the stuff you already have! I’m going to create a mini altar now :) thank you so much!
I needed this haha. I don't have to hide the fact that I am practicing, but this girl is definitely on a budget lol. I've been looking into everything for about a month now, and I have like 200 dollars worth of online shopping carts filled up with things I have found via various vendors/websites. I can probably afford maybeeee 1/2. x) This was helpful, thank youuuu.
A little tip: if you have nothing to burn in your sage or other incense, just use a shell! I found a beautiful incense shell on a online shop, but then I remembered that when I was little, I used to collect them :) so I use one now 😇😁
I see that this is a three-year-old video but I have to tell you you made my whole night! It's exactly what I needed and it makes me feel very empowered to go forward trusting my intuition! I have always been "witchy" but wanting to really learn and grown and focus!
Our elder witches who were forced to stay in the broom closet did not have the internet to buy the tools, they did not have a specialty store they could go to. They used what they had and were good at what they did.
I enjoy this so much. I’ve been collecting different tools for almost thirty years and my very first tool was a TAROT deck and a pentacle necklace when I was a teenager and over time I came into various tools at thrift stores including a beautiful set of brass and walnut candleholders and even black glass plates and a besom at a Thrift store for super cheap and they cleanse super easy as most of these items are not used for Magick by anyone before. I used to draw pictures of tools I didn’t have and just visualized these tools in my possession and I waited patiently for them to come into my life. Using different cards from a TAROT deck for the four elements also really works.
I ordered a tarot deck that comes with a pendulum and divining table cloth, it'll arrive tomorrow. I'm so excited. I'm currently homeless so I don't have a place to keeps a lot of things. I plan on making a traveling altar and I can download PDF files of books on my phone, I can't carry many in my backpack. I did find four candles randomly yesterday in a crown Royal bag on the side of the road so I'm definitely going to be using those. I'm excited to get my baby witch study on. Blessed be 🌹
Clicking on thumbs up before watching because I know it will be a good video, because it's yours HAHAHA (I was re-watching your candle magick video with Dylan when the notification came)
Stopped by the side of the road, jumped out and was back in the truck again in two minutes with a great bow of cedar. It took me longer to talk to the tree and ask permission than anything else. Dryed it out for a couple of weeks and cut it into threeish inch pieces, flattened one side and use them to burn my rune blessings onto. I burn with an old "cut" nail and they work amazingly well! Haven't lost a patient yet... Spending money if you are tight is actually contraproductive... in my grandiose opinion...lol As always, great show Ollie, you are the postergirl... Please dont be offended by that, I just mean that your vibes are so increadibly inspiring. Thank You. Amiste
So i am very new and i don't know what to do yet and i have to say that the witch/wicca community is one of the nicest i have ever met. Everybody is so eager to help and so respectful my heart is full. The whole community is so versatile which made all of you so understanding, i already feel at home by your sides, bless all of you.
Such great and practical suggestions. I just wanted to add that when sourcing ingredients, to factor in carbon miles and ethical sources. Salt is under scrutiny right now due to the over mining and high carbon miles of Himalayan Pink salt. That said, you’ve provided a very quirky, budget friendly selection of hands on crafty items. Beautiful job. Big love to you beautiful soul 🖤🧙🏼♀️🧿😘
You know, you're right! I went to my pantry and found whatever I needed! There was plenty of frankincense, myrrh, dragon's blood, mandrake--you know, come to think of it, I have quite a pantry! Maybe I should start a store or something. But seriously, you should work with what you have--or can afford! I would however spend a bit more and get sea salt as you can use it to make bath salts to prepare yourself for spells.
you don't need them but most find it a good way to enter that mindset that you do need. I don't need them but, honesty, I do find them comforting. I love correspondence, even though I know I don't need them. Tools and everything else that are the "trappings" of the art, as long as you don't use them as a crutch can be exciting and helpful to set the mood. I really enjoy watching your channel.
i found this one candle at target for 3$ with a great holden in it so when i’m done burning the candle i’ll wash the wax out of the holder, cleanser it, and us it as a cauldron!
Ive incorporated your videos into my daily studies. Forever ive been into this stuff but never really dug deep until now. I had to get over my fear and learn somethings first. Thank you so much!
I love your channel. I watched it a couple of years ago, I think, but kind of "fell off the wagon", so to speak. Now that im trying to get back into things, I keep being drawn here. Thank you.
I have to come back to thank you Olivia. Air dry clay is legit one of the best things that happened to my life and i got to learn of it from you. May you alwayd be blessed you beautiful soul.
A very good friend of mine made me a “mint tin” travel alter about 6 or 7 years ago and I have kept it locked away. She has since passed from our world from cancer so it is truly a special item to me. I am the only prescription in my family. It is time to reconnect with it. December 21st is tomorrow; I think Yule is a wonderful way to do so. She placed many little items within to represent what is needed and I greatly appreciate her for doing so. Thank you for sharing your world with us. I really enjoy all that I have seen. Your work rewards me and I thank you for it. ☀️🤘🏻🌀🙏🏻🌙
Thanks for mentioning spice traders teas! Your channel is wonderful and informative. Spice traders can be contacted directly through Facebook for anyone with questions about teas.

I was active-duty Marine Corps for four years; let me tell you, having to share a barracks-room with two other guys, or a squad-bay aboard a ship with fifty or sixty, didn't leave space for a lot of fancy tools. I wound up applying a lesson from Basic to my spellwork: Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome. There was a particular spell midway through my first deployment where I used a camo bandanna as the altar-cloth, the elements were represented by an MRE salt-packet, a Zippo lighter, a bottle of water, and a lit Marlboro Red stuck filter-down in the sand.

It's perfect, isn't it? 😍 Greetings to you and your plant friends! Happy growing! 🌱
They sell those message boards at five below with enough letters to write that or pretty much anything you want 🖤👌
I just want one that says introverted but willing to talk about tea.
I need one that says introverted but willing to talk about Oregon, music, and Sarah Winchester
Meeeee too 😋
People need to realize that the practice of witchcraft is very old and they didn't use all this fancy tools that are sold today . So no worries.
Oh yeah
Huh
I love this the most. I'm so fascinated by the ancient ones
Craft store =witchcraft store
But yes dollar stores ,art shops, are dangerous for us 😁👍
100%!!!
It is! It's dangerous to me as a witch, and an artist lol.
yes
Almost every store is dangerous for crafty people, whether it be witchcraft, art, or otherwise. I cant walk into any store without thinking of how i could use something for a multitude of things. Tis why i opt to leave most of my money at home so i dont go broke lol
Michals, stop and shop, dollar store, Lowe’s. Those places are good for getting things like candles, herbs, pots, little bottles, salt, things for travel altars, jars, journals and sketchbooks, string/twine, plants, and other things good for witchcraft
"Salt is Witchcraft" sound like something that should be put on a shirt.
Yes. We need that
Less Worshipping Satan, More Candles and Pretty Rocks
That would be awesome on a shirt

Robin's are very symbolic to me so your presence here is an omen that I've ended up in the right place 🐦
What are wands used for?
Where the idea that you had to have so many fancy tools to practice Witchcraft came from I have no idea. Witchcraft is based in nature and has always been. Our ancestors didn't have a super store to run out to get an ornate alter cover or a jewel encrusted athame. They used what they had or made it. You really don't need a single tool to practice. If you can't practice in the open not using obvious tools is your safest bet. Thank you Olivia for stressing this point. It is one I try to get across all the time to new witchies and a few old crones as well.
Tracy Puydak I completely agree with you comment. It’s so tiering hearing all the “you need this and that tool in order to practice xyz”. It’s so nice to read a comment such as yours with emphasis placed on nature and simplicity. So refreshing!
Tracy Puydak I completely agree. Unfortunatly, we live in the age of consumerism. Adds teach us from a Young age, that if we get X we’ll be happy. And if we get Y we’ll be more desirable. When baby witches start their journey They Are still in This mindset and Think They need to raid an occult store in order to be accepted and qualified as a witch. But guess what: This ain’t Hogwarts. We Got No supply list.
@@katrinepetersen2566 we don't know each other , but your comment was spot on perfect . Nobody knows when they walk into my apartment that I am a witch.
Instead they see various decorative items around my house that I had commissioned from Tribal Artist who create their wares the way our Ancestors would have done. So even though I am Wiccan I guess my rituals at first glance appear to be a Chickasaw culturally. I do speak Chickasaw and when I cast my circle I do so in my Tribal language. I have started changing into Traditional Tribal Elder Ceremonial or Stomp Dance attire when stepping into a ritual state of mind. I have taken recipes for different food dishes served at various times of the year and working out the kinks on creating a full Wheel of Year Sabbat recipe book.
It just dawned on me that I sound like I am creating an Eclectic Tradition based on my Tribal ancestry. Chicka-Wicca anyone ? Who doesn't want to wear turtle shell rattles on their feet while shuffling around dancing in a big ass circle ?
Not that different than Wiccan Traditions I have come across over the years. So I have devoted over 25yrs of study of my culture because I was not permitted to know anything about my Native Heritage .
Blessed Be or in Chickasaw "Chokmah" which means "Travel in Light" .
Right!!?!I I've always collected from Nature. THE BEST Energy...❤
this was more recent with the rise of pagan/witch shops . i believe Maxine Sanders first athame was a poker.
I've been practicing witchcraft for over 14 years now and I'm so happy to see someone explain how simple it can be to started and how magic is truly all around us in everyday objects
Good news (please read this)🙏🏻
ghost and spirits are real,
angels and demons are real,
GOD IS REAL!!
God loves us so much that He sent his Son Jesus into the world to died for our sins, he was buried and raised to Life again on the third days.
No one is perfect, we all have sinned against God, and deserves to be punished in Hell for eternity because of our sins, but Jesus already paid the price for us on the cross. God is offering the gift of Salvation and forgiveness of sins to anyone who repent of their sins and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only way to Salvation. Accept Jesus today before is too late, God bless you!
Can I just say, because this seems like the right place to mention it, I have found so many useful, witchy shit at my local Goodwill. Olivia is absolutely right that you don't need to go out any buy expensive, aesthetic stuff for your practice. But if you go out and look, you can find vintage stuff like candle holders, incense burners, jars and who knows what else at garage sales and thrift stores. I just found a vintage sugar bowl that looks like a little cauldron for $2! Sorry to brag, but look in thrift stores. Thank you for your time.
Samantha Hurst thrift stores are where I’ve found most of my things as well. I also found a really pretty jar washed up on the beach!
Yesss! I found a small bronze cauldron at Goodwill once!
Yaaaas, second hand for the win!
I work for GW and I have found TONS of tools, alter supplies, books and even clothes! It's my FAVORITE place to find my witchy desires next to nature of course!
I've gotten so many things from thrift stores. Very dangerous for me. Lol
Ah, yes, the dollar store... my SO really dislikes going to the dollar store with me bc I *ALWAYS* find things I can use. It's never a short trip when I rock into a dollar store, lol
Tell SO to make trip shorter by helping you find cool stuff, when SO is done looking for self.
I put my old candles in the freezer, and the wax comes right out! I crack it and put it in the wax warmer so i get use of it :)
Great idea
That’s a great idea! I’m going to have to do that next time I’ve used up most of a candle
Good idea! Thanks for sharing

:( Awh man.....well, you can still see shades of the colors! :)
I loved this video because this is what I am telling people ALL THE TIME, for like the first six month of exploring witchcraft I only used birthday candles, a bowl of water/earth and a feather I found and people don't realise how great it worked and won't believe me when I tell them about that!
Wow what a great idea. Birthday candles. Too cool.
i'm really looking into and researching witchcraft, but i haven't started out yet. do you have any tips for beginners? the craft is really calling to me but i have no clue where to start and this comment seems like a reliable source :))
Scarlet Brigham l
@@scarletbrigham1498 personally I started with tea magick and sigil magick! you can easily look up information on the internet how u can do these, but all u rly need are tea and a few already existing ingredients in your home for tea magick, and just paper and pen for sigil magick
@@scarletbrigham1498 however there's no rule in starting though, u can start wherever u feel fit
“The craft store is a very dangerous place for me”
WHAT A MOOD
I went in there for ONE THING last week and suddenly I spent 50 bucks before I could stop myself.
I love this video. I personally only use tools that I have. Magick is not for tge rich people, it should not get expensive. It should enhance your mind to communicate with the subconscious mind.
the rich people do it, they are way better at it too which is why the world is as it is
Some people use the craft to get rich. It’s for your personal betterment. Use it as you will. It’s YOUR craft after all.
Magick is for EVERYONE, just because they're rich and you're not doesnt mean you have to diss rich people.
I think they meant it’s not only for the rich people, it doesn’t have to get expensive.
Shanae Smith yes, I don’t think she meant anything negative.
“Salt IS witchcraft”
Honestly though 😂
i havent really done any witchcraft but i see people cleanse there area before casting a circle by putting salt water around the place xD
So true !
I use salt to cast my circles a lot! I just sprinkle it around the perimeter of where I want my circle to be and visualize its energy springing up as it falls to the ground and forming a protective sphere around me. Then when I take the circle down, I just sweep it up as I see the energy returning to it and throw it outside (away from plants) to return its energy to the earth.
ah talaga? 😂 ang corny non ah 🤣
Me, cleansing my room w self-made black salt by throwing it around: *Hells yeah!*
As a baby witch, I love the simplicity of this. I've been fighting against being overwhelmed and I've really been focused on trying to take my time and let myself naturally gravitate towards my interests instead of diving in head first into a million different things. A lot of these ideas were super creative and as someone who strives to be Zero Waste and eco-friendly I LOVE the idea of using what you have. Thank you so much for this!
Yes zero waste witchessss that would be a powerful coven lol
It's like I'm sitting in a coffee shop talking with her and it makes learning new stuff easier
Yes indeed
"Don't eat things you find."
-My three year old slowly looks at his handful of wood sorrel questioningly, but then continues to eat it. 😂
I literally ate random plants at school with my two friends and we pretended they were magical little did i know i would become a witch :)
@@hazel1815 hehe
Found a large mortar and pestle for $7 today at goodwill
I use stuff that came in my cocktail kit 😄
I have a granite mortor and pestal
Nice find! I've been on the lookout for one. Wish I had the granite one my mom had when I was a child....but my brother was the executor of her estate, and he either sold it or kept it, I really don't know.
“Salt is magic”. Literally my life
Honestly true.
(My Mother always puts salt and extra herbs in random places to confuse me. It confuses me. A lot.)

Boxes: **chuckles** *im in danger*
Oh good i started witchcraft literally yesterday i wasnt to sure on what to do on my first spell so i put it in a box xD
Same. I went to the closet where I stash gift wrap and boxes, after she said that, and my mind got to thinking....😂
As a cashier at Michael’s craft store I totally recognized certain items and which aisle they’re in haha! I’m sure you can imagine the daily struggles I have not to buy something every time I go to work.
I worked at Michael's, twice, and a smaller arts and crafts/framing shop back in the '80s. Although I was guilted out of my interest in all things magick at that time (by my now ex and a few others) those stores got huge chunks of my paycheck back, lol.
Now, at this point in my life, as a photographer, and coming back home to my true self, creating things and delving back into witchcraft, I would SO love to be working at Michael's again. I dearly miss custom framing, plus-- craft supplies, as well as "craft" supplies, haha!
The nearest Michael's to me is too far away to make the wage worth the drive.
Someone should make a Facebook group so we can all talk and share ideas
Most are sadly just a LOT of drama.
That's true
Yes a wonder love 💗 fan Meet & Greet Group is an amazing idea 💡😀👍 that would be Olivia’s Covern I think 💭
I never thought to look for printable tarot cards! Thanks for the tips!
yea i didnt think of that either.
not much point now that i have tarrot cards but whatever
you could even glue them to the back of flyers
Emily Bristow my moms first and favorite set of tarot cards is printed :)
“Looking through a witchy lense” Is a rlly go way of convaying that point, and that is really good advice because when I first started I was like “I don’t have any witchy stuff” but once I REALLY started looking I found TONS of stuff
God, I was just about to look at some of the comments and then I heard "Ma'am." And shot back up like "I WAS LISTENING!"

I read that egg shells are used in peace and protection spells, so I've started keeping all of my egg shells. I dry them and mix them with chalk to put sigils of peace and protection warding under my doormat!
Also, At hobby lobby i found some great candle holders in the shape of the tetragramaton, which For me is very powerful and i use it all the time in sigils,.. sooo i was glad to find a candle holder in that shape. 😍😍😍
Hey! Love your channel! My R.E teacher has asked me to bring in some of my 'wiccan-y' things as an example of different religions. I get to show it next week and I am so exited to finally have my religion praised instead of ridiculed (Like it usually is in my school) ! 😆
Hey! May i ask what you showed?
@@stanbp2835 I took my mini altar (it's in a little tin) and my runes, I also explained about other things like my book of shadows and why i didn't bring it. Hope this answers your question! 🙂

nope nope nope i will not do a mirror spell. i come from a family of mediums, and i don’t like the vibration i get from mirrors. i have two in my whole house and that is plenty😂
I don’t like mirrors either, always have got bad vibes from them as long as I can remember especially when I actually have witnessed stuff come out of them on 2 occasions! I only got 1 mirror which is plenty for me.
whenever I take a shower I flip. I can’t deal with mirrors. I have 2 In my bathroom and I pull back the curtain every 5 seconds because I feel like somethings in the mirror.
@@caitlincagney4965 can you make a cover with cardboard or something the size of the mirror with a rubber band or strechy hair tie at each corner to cover?
For some reason I always feel a bad energy when I turn on my shower, and I just feel like running out of my bathroom and waiting in my bedroom until that energy goes away. Idk if its my paranoia or if a spirit decided to be in my shower whenever i start it. I do have a mirror in my bathroom as well, im hoping its not a portal for spirits now.
My husband asked "how you gonna be witch if you're afraid of mirrors?" 😂 scrying is for people who don't have anxiety and visual processing issues/visual disturbances. I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one drawn to this path who is afraid of mirrors.
TH-cam has suggested your channel and videos so many times but I didn't want to check them out at first because everyone does their videos different and because of that, it's hard for me to find multiple witches on youtube if that makes sense. However, yesterday I was putting together a witchy jewelry charm hanger thing and wanted some noise in the background. I tried this video for the fun of it (plus who doesn't love budget-friendly witchy life hacks?) and I now love your channel.
“ Introverted but willing to talk to plants”
I’m gonna use that at Thanksgiving if someone’s willing to talk to me 😆
Thank you so much for this video I am a baby witch and you have really helped guide me through the beginning of this wonderful path.
I love thrift stores. I've found alot of witchy things in them. Candle sconces, candles, glass bottles and little covered glass bowls, large old rigid spined books....the possibilities are endless lol.
I Made Runes out of air dry clay! When I Started to read about different things used in the practice, I thought "I bet I can just make some runes of my own right now" and put my energy into them as I Sculpted and painted them. I don't know if I could have as good of a connection with cheaply brought runes so I made my own for cheaper.
I noticed your element symbol mobile in another video and it inspired me to make my own air symbol with lilac branches from my yard ☺️
I'm so jealous. That seems like it would be soooo pretty!!
When I was much younger and first starting out all the books I read made it seem like you had to buy all of this stuff and it was really disheartening to my 12 year old self lol .Thank you for being an encouraging force for the young ones/ beginning witches. ♥️
i fell down a hole of your videos, i cant get out, and im not complaining :)
I love how you take the “secret witches” into consideration💓

I recently discovered you and I love your channel 😊 I've been practicing for three years and use most of the things you said, but I never had the idea of the votive christian candles!! What a great idea! Absolutely going to use them now!
Holy shit i follow you both lol
Girl you're a life saver im a baby witch and literally worry so mych if I can't get supplies because I don't want to turn heads since there are people in my household that wouldn't approve of witchcraft but you're literally the best thank you so much❤️

I USE THAT EXACT SAME AIRDRY CLAY ALL THE TIME
I AM SO HAPPY
After I put my sigil on my 7 day glass candle when it's done, I put it in a brown paper bag and break it and thank my Archangels. It is complete.
Thanks for sharing. Your sister Sag Peace, Be safe
Loveee this video! 💙
I have a book for daily spells & it usually calls for a bunch of foreign objects/ plants that are sooooo hard to find; THIS IS WHEN I IMPROVISE. I either use something similar or I completely use my mind & the spells are just as powerful, if not more. To anyone struggling w/ lack of tools, I’m here to tell you using your mind works wonders ✨💫
Kendra Elaine what is the book called?
Sometimes I use something to represent the thing I cant find. Like a picture of it, or I draw a picture.
That's because intention is everything when it comes to magick.
THANK YOU! As a baby witch on a tight budget this video was invaluable. I went into a New Age store yesterday and nearly had a stroke looking at the prices on some things.
I'm a crafty witch and I love to go into new age stores for inspiration! I take pictures of things that inspire me, and if ever questioned (never have been) I would say I'm taking the picture for someone who wants one of (whatever item). Completely true! That someone is me. 😏🤣
Thrift store is far more rewarding. Then it can feel like things find you over time as your practice gently evolves. That along with handmade from natural materials & finds feels (to me) more authentic & better for the earth. And honors the idea of genius loci. Never wanted to be a store bought witch - but rather a folk practitioner. Our ancestors didn’t visit stores for their craft after all. It also keeps your home from screaming “witch!” unless you want it to. 😂 I do fall for the occasional book or tarot/card deck though. 💗
I’ve got the killer combo of being poor (at least I need to buy all personal things with my own money), young, and secret. What would you recommend I do to get supplies?
Dollar store. You can get just about anything you need. Even if your poor. Try to save up like 5 to 10 dollars then go shop. Have fun!!! Blessed be.
me too, young, closeted witch and also poor akskskdk
Omg same!
DIY, plants, recycle, pieces of fabric, stones found around, jars bottles boxes (you can even make boxes or sachets out of rolls of paper). Pinterest! Colours. Do sigils. Guided meditation on youtube. Subscribe to a library or download books. Save the papers that have only been used on one side to make your dirty grimoire. Who says you can't make an offering to your deities or guides or something? Gift them a drawing. A sloppy poem.
Another good place to find little jars, coloured ribbons and candles etc is ali express, just be careful when reading how big the jars are and pay attention to how many "mls" of liquid it can hold.
There are ones that are 0.5/0.7mls and that's about the size of a fingernail! So read carefully and look at the reviews for picture references. Personally I'd say smallest I would get would be 10mls it would hold very small amounts of flowers and small amounts spices and herbs. Ideally I like 20ml ones (not to small or too big) which will hold a decent amount without needing to be topped up too often but are small enough to fit a lot of them on a shelf or in a box.
Hope this helps Others that want cheap and cute small jars, that aren't too small! #wonderlustcoven
Omg I googled the bloodberry tea and learned that I can infuse rum with tea. 🤯 Seriously, this is the best idea ever, and u are my new BFF.
And Olivia and Dylan mentioned that eyeliner writes directly ON the candle!!! Love this tip!
Ps: thrift stores have so many good cheap things that you can work with.
FR I found most of my candle holders/candles and here and there’s for my altar for like literally $3 at goodwill!!
I love my travel alter! It's a small hello kitty lunch plastic box that I've filled with some of my magick tools and crystals and things. It's silly, but I love it
I have a junk Grimoire too!!! It's a smol one and really pretty, then I have this big one that has a privacy sigil on it
That air dry clay or even salt or cinnamon clay also makes great handmade runes
Why didn't I think of that. I just ordered some runes because I got tired of waiting for ideas on how to make them.
May I suggest Sculpy, a clay that can be hardened on a regular home oven. And Thrift shops are great places to score some magical things. Also, putting some sand/salt in a bowl make it into a odd sized candle holder instantly. Great ideas here. Thank you.
I just want to say this video is everything. I’ve been seeing a lot of you tubers say things like “you need to” or “you have to” but you’re keeping things very subjective and over all general and I love that. Witchcraft is subjective and in the end you go with what feels right in your heart and that’s like the general vibe in this video so go you !!! Also I just love your attitude and your energy!! Blessed Yule!!💙🌙🌊
I really love this video. Ive been wiccan since nov 2014, but i can only afford books because i can afford to buy one since I love reading and I need to ALOT of research for everything. This video brings nothing but sweet relief. Thank you so much! 😊 Blessed be, sister
Tip for broom closet and new witches; writing your intent around the wick of the candle before burning it is an easy spell that takes a few seconds and a pencil. I use it all the time when I'm too lazy to cast a spell. When the wax melts the words, the spell is done.
Very helpful, would deffo love to see a video on dolls and stuff, thats sounds pretty cool x
Seconded! Dolls, please!
Thirded! Is that even a word? 😂😂😂
If you like yogurt, particularly Oui yogurt, wash and save the jars. Initially, I'd saved them for little sipping glasses for Irish crème, etc. Then I realized, they make GREAT candle holders for tapers or chime candles!
I’m so glad I watched this video. I live in a very small apartment and have been getting into witchcraft and I’ve been so overwhelmed trying to figure out everything I need. It’s so important to use the stuff you already have! I’m going to create a mini altar now :) thank you so much!
Craft stores for little bottles and fairly cheap wooden boxes....my favorite.
Great video...you covered a lot !
I needed this haha. I don't have to hide the fact that I am practicing, but this girl is definitely on a budget lol. I've been looking into everything for about a month now, and I have like 200 dollars worth of online shopping carts filled up with things I have found via various vendors/websites. I can probably afford maybeeee 1/2. x) This was helpful, thank youuuu.
A little tip: if you have nothing to burn in your sage or other incense, just use a shell! I found a beautiful incense shell on a online shop, but then I remembered that when I was little, I used to collect them :) so I use one now 😇😁
I see that this is a three-year-old video but I have to tell you you made my whole night! It's exactly what I needed and it makes me feel very empowered to go forward trusting my intuition! I have always been "witchy" but wanting to really learn and grown and focus!
The universe bring what you need when you need it! I just discovered it tonight and it was the perfect thing!

Our elder witches who were forced to stay in the broom closet did not have the internet to buy the tools, they did not have a specialty store they could go to. They used what they had and were good at what they did.
This is exactly what I need for that late night uni assignment grind
I enjoy this so much. I’ve been collecting different tools for almost thirty years and my very first tool was a TAROT deck and a pentacle necklace when I was a teenager and over time I came into various tools at thrift stores including a beautiful set of brass and walnut candleholders and even black glass plates and a besom at a Thrift store for super cheap and they cleanse super easy as most of these items are not used for Magick by anyone before. I used to draw pictures of tools I didn’t have and just visualized these tools in my possession and I waited patiently for them to come into my life. Using different cards from a TAROT deck for the four elements also really works.
A bag of scrap fabric "will help you sew much" I love your videos, ma'am. Keep up the awesomeness
I ordered a tarot deck that comes with a pendulum and divining table cloth, it'll arrive tomorrow. I'm so excited. I'm currently homeless so I don't have a place to keeps a lot of things. I plan on making a traveling altar and I can download PDF files of books on my phone, I can't carry many in my backpack. I did find four candles randomly yesterday in a crown Royal bag on the side of the road so I'm definitely going to be using those. I'm excited to get my baby witch study on.
Blessed be 🌹
Clicking on thumbs up before watching because I know it will be a good video, because it's yours HAHAHA (I was re-watching your candle magick video with Dylan when the notification came)
I have so many freaking candles that I don't even know where to put most of them XD
Miyusake Onichan hello hi
Stopped by the side of the road, jumped out and was back in the truck again in two minutes with a great bow of cedar. It took me longer to talk to the tree and ask permission than anything else. Dryed it out for a couple of weeks and cut it into threeish inch pieces, flattened one side and use them to burn my rune blessings onto. I burn with an old "cut" nail and they work amazingly well! Haven't lost a patient yet... Spending money if you are tight is actually contraproductive... in my grandiose opinion...lol
As always, great show Ollie, you are the postergirl... Please dont be offended by that, I just mean that your vibes are so increadibly inspiring. Thank You.

Thrifting has gotten me some awesome stuff as well. I got this beautiful crystal looking tiny glass bowl thing that I use for tealight spells
So i am very new and i don't know what to do yet and i have to say that the witch/wicca community is one of the nicest i have ever met. Everybody is so eager to help and so respectful my heart is full. The whole community is so versatile which made all of you so understanding, i already feel at home by your sides, bless all of you.
Such great and practical suggestions. I just wanted to add that when sourcing ingredients, to factor in carbon miles and ethical sources. Salt is under scrutiny right now due to the over mining and high carbon miles of Himalayan Pink salt. That said, you’ve provided a very quirky, budget friendly selection of hands on crafty items. Beautiful job.
Big love to you beautiful soul 🖤🧙🏼♀️🧿😘
I’ve never partaken in witchcraft and TH-cam’s just like
*your a wizard, Harry!*
When you said "things that I use in my craft" I thought you said "that I use in Minecraft" lmao
Also I have found a ton of witchy things at thrift stores and garage sales. Also your greatest tool is you-your heart, your mind and your hands!
You know, you're right! I went to my pantry and found whatever I needed! There was plenty of frankincense, myrrh, dragon's blood, mandrake--you know, come to think of it, I have quite a pantry! Maybe I should start a store or something. But seriously, you should work with what you have--or can afford! I would however spend
a bit more and get sea salt as you can use it to make bath salts to prepare yourself for spells.
you don't need them but most find it a good way to enter that mindset that you do need. I don't need them but, honesty, I do find them comforting. I love correspondence, even though I know I don't need them. Tools and everything else that are the "trappings" of the art, as long as you don't use them as a crutch can be exciting and helpful to set the mood. I really enjoy watching your channel.
I really love your videos olivia, there so helpful, especially to a beginner that isn't quite sure where to start
i found this one candle at target for 3$ with a great holden in it so when i’m done burning the candle i’ll wash the wax out of the holder, cleanser it, and us it as a cauldron!
Ive incorporated your videos into my daily studies. Forever ive been into this stuff but never really dug deep until now. I had to get over my fear and learn somethings first. Thank you so much!
I love your channel. I watched it a couple of years ago, I think, but kind of "fell off the wagon", so to speak. Now that im trying to get back into things, I keep being drawn here. Thank you.
The clay idea is amazing!! I’ve been wanting a rune set but I wasn’t sure what to make it from. Now I know!! Lol thank you so much for sharing 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I have to come back to thank you Olivia. Air dry clay is legit one of the best things that happened to my life and i got to learn of it from you. May you alwayd be blessed you beautiful soul.
This is a big relief I was so worried I needed to go get crazy items that are expensive and hard to find so thank you 🙏
All a witch NEEDS is themselves and knowledge of HOW witchcraft works at its core. Everything else is just icing on the cake.
I love this!! I’m such a fan of the dollar store/goodwill etc for my witchy things. Air dry clay is next on my list!!
A very good friend of mine made me a “mint tin” travel alter about 6 or 7 years ago and I have kept it locked away. She has since passed from our world from cancer so it is truly a special item to me. I am the only prescription in my family. It is time to reconnect with it. December 21st is tomorrow; I think Yule is a wonderful way to do so. She placed many little items within to represent what is needed and I greatly appreciate her for doing so. Thank you for sharing your world with us. I really enjoy all that I have seen. Your work rewards me and I thank you for it.

I’d love to learn more about Offerings. The air dried clays bowls are beyond charming. 🌹💜👍.
