I don’t know if this counts, but it’s becoming a thing that has become sacred in my routine. I have a 20 minute drive home from work everyday. I choose what songs I’m going to listen to with intention, and as a I drive home, I sing, listen, and just allow myself to release the things I’ve unconsciously picked up during the day. Any stress, any drama, I try my best to leave behind me, and just to have 20 minutes fully in myself. My drive has become a sacred time. I refuse to call anyone or do anything other than have my time to check in with myself. And then I come home, and I live with my partner, and we figure out what fun thing we’re going to do for the night. But that 20 minute drive has become a precious ritual of self care. I’m normally someone who’s very scared to be alone, I don’t always have the best relationship with myself, so enjoying that drive everyday feels like a victory. And it wasn’t until I watched this video that I realized that taking time like that, making a ritual of checkin and self care, could be considering putting magic in the mundane. Thank you Frankie for always broadening my perspective.
I really relate to this. I've started to wake up earlier for work so I have plenty of time to shower, do my makeup, and have my coffee (stirred with intent!) sitting out on the balcony. The sun isn't up when I wake up, but the birds are, and their songs lend me the energy to get through my morning shift. The 15 minute drive to work gives me time to fully clear my mind, along with listening and singing to music to get my vocal chords warmed up for conversation with people (I'm not great at talking and have a hard time speaking sometimes, so this really helps).
Music is insanely powerful, that’s why it can be an amazing tool, but like a hammer can be used to build, it can also destroy. It’s probably safer to meditate without it but it can guide you in a certain direction if needed
I’m really happy that you basically validated active meditation. I’m an athlete and the only time I have a clear enough head to meditate is when I’m swimming. I dunno, just thank you ^.^
@@ChaoticWitchAunt yea I have a lot of trouble sleeping and with night terrors mainly cause I have adhd and it’s a side affect of my medication but I do guided meditation before I sleep because it helps my brain focus and just centre my mind in to ok I need to relax and sleep mode
i never heard or active meditation but i absolutely used to do it everyday when biking to college. it was a moment to wake up, connect, breath. I miss it a lot now with covid (my bike is on my college dorm)
Things I do often/daily: light candles/clean my room cook (my ancestors love when I cook for myself) take my medication sing/hum/write/create share books with spirits/deities/ancestors by reading it to them (usually small excerpts I think they would like)
This really spoke to me, sometimes i forgot how much certain ancestors of mine love me and want to make aure i am doing ok, taking my meds, doing my card pulls, but reading bits to them? Thats wonderful, i love it!
I love that idea. I'm tracing my family tree and I feel very connected to my ancestors of 200 years ago. I can see that there are many strong women in my bloodline who lost their husbands at a young age and ran pubs and shops alone whilst bringing up their children. I often think about them but I never thought of reading to them. It seems a wonderful way of remembering and sharing with them. Thank you. Blessed be 🌛🌕🌜x
A few of the witchy things that I do that you didn't mention are: 1. I have a straw broom that I have enchanted and carved my name into. I use it with intention to cleanse my home each time. 2. I make my own household cleaners with 50/50 white vinegar and water and add 12 to 15 drops of essential oil. I often use lavender and sage so that it's a perfect magical cleansing spray. I keep a piece of quartz inside the bottle as well. I often just use it to spray my curtains and pillows to make them smell really good. 3. When my house is smelling kind of stale and stinky I will put white vinegar into cups and place one in each room for half an hour to fully cleanse the air. The vinegar absorbs all nasty smells and you can pour them right down the drain. It works really well if you cook fish or burn popcorn. 4. I add a cup of white vinegar to every single one of my laundry loads and it helps to brighten my clothes while also being a generational remedy to avoid using bleach which is very caustic to our energy and clothing. I always begin each load by saying blessed be and pressing the start button. It sounds silly but I feel it's very important to cleanse our clothes as well as our minds and bodies. We spend every day in these garments and they should be properly taken care of.
Yes I would absolutely love a video on how to charm jewellery and stuff, I’ve been trying to figure it out but I’m still struggling on it and I rlly want to do it!!!
@@emilypowell9663 You can check both Hearthwitch's & Mama Squirrel's channels out for beginning information ss well I have a ring that I charmed as a protection ring I chanted a invokation to a deity who is associated with protection.. For his spiritto come into the stone that is in the ring for protection..
Sometimes I forget that it’s MY own practice and MY own ritual. Because I moved and I’m in a totally different environment and setting I had to change how I did literally everything. It finally hit me that there is no right or wrong way to do things. Whatever feels right to you is the right way.
I do a daily practice of silence. I think people underestimate doing nothing for at least 5 minutes a day how refreshing it is. No phone, no devices, just me and the silence for a few moments each day. I started doing this to help alleviate anxiety, stress and overwhelm I was dealing with its lowered my blood pressure, helps me get restful sleep and over all makes me a better witch so I HIGHLY recommend adding at least 5 minutes a day of nothing.
i absolutely love reading but i wish reading could be a low-energy activity for me it takes a lot of effort to sit down and just read especially on days where my depression is bad
Audio books helps with that and I started physically reading things I know I like so for me it is sci-fi, fantasy young adult books haha I have a really hard time finishing books but I just tell myself before bed I will read 1 chapter in bed. That helps me to actually do it
This really warmed my heart. As I'm in recovery from trauma and ptsd. It feels like your body and mind is working against you. Thank you for helping me get the hope of winning my every day back
Oh, l know this feeling, I think small, simple daily ‘rituals’ and self care can be really important and useful in grounding ourselves and to learn to re-appreciate small moments that make our days worthwhile and help us to cope - good luck with your journey X
Cray cat nerd here: my favorite grounding method thus far is brushing my cat. I take my time and baby talk to him while I spray him down with water (to wash out the pollen from his fur) and brush him out. He has terrible allergies so all of this is a must to keep him from itching and sneezing. It also is our "thang" and i do it for about 15 mins a day.
Honestly, go at your own pace. Formulate your practice to what works for you, not anyone else. Don't compare your practice and spirituality to anyone else's, and spend some time seeking out practitioners with similar struggles if you need extra inspiration!
Do what you can when you can, no one practice is the same. I have ADHD and sometimes don't have spoons. Also, rituals and spells do not need to be complex and ceremonial. My most common daily rituals are active meditation and grounding( often with my toddler) and stirring intention into drinks or food. Are there days I do more, yes, but some days that's all I've got in me to handle especially as a new educator this year too. You got this!💜
I struggle to keep my space nice when I'm depressed. You can carve out a bit of space as a sanctuary, maybe a comfy chair and enough space around it to put a drink. You can make it as simple or special as you want. Doesn't matter if it's tiny, once you have it you can start expanding it. I've got mine from just an armchair to half my living room.
😂😂😂 I've been told multiple times by the spirits that I need to drink more water and right before you said drink more water I did. 😂😂💀 I felt called out because I have been asking for help to drink more water 💀
Wow, what you said about food poisoning you really hit me hard, I've never thought about it like that. I was diagnosed with celiac almost 2 years ago now and I've definitely been struggling with my relationship with food... it's just so validating to know other people are going through the same types of things you are.
I'm not a celiac but I have my fair share of allergies and its frustrating, a local burger place added tomatoes on my go to order without telling about the changes ( I was lucky that I always check what I eat)
I've found that if I'm in 'negative' spoons that day, active meditation (if your body is up to it) can give me a few sppoms back, which really helps. Sending love to all my fellow witches, and I hope my fellow chronically ill witches find new and fulfilling ways to manage their day to day! 🥰 🥰 🥰
Hearing all the little ways I can incorporate magic into my daily mundane practices is so encouraging. I tend to forget to do anything because I used to approach magic with this "it has to be completely separate from everything else" mentality. Thankfully, I've outgrown that for the most part. I've realized that magic is a personal thing and there's no "wrong way" to do it. (Not saying that there aren't rules and guidelines. Just saying there's no right or wrong way to inherently practice.) A thing I've kinda picked up in cleansing myself (spiritually as well as physically) in the shower. I imagine the suds represent any stagnant/yucky energy I've picked up through out the day and I watch just disappear down the drain. I also charm my clothes with intention. And if I'm feeling really in need of it I'll draw a sigil on myself or on paper to carry around for the day.
I just wanna say, I freaking love that you veil. I don't see a lot of people veiling and I like that you give that visibility. I would love to watch a video of you talking about this ♥️♥️♥️ Anyway, thanks for making all of this content!
I cannot express how refreshed I am to find a fellow witch who believes in mental health practices and the value therein. Witchcraft has immensely deep roots in mental health and understanding the self to understand others and be the best steward to the world we live in. I love your energy and how easily you can explain the facets of witchcraft in an easily digestible way. Blessings to you, love! I personally am an apothecary and have a focus on the sciences an physical health. Growing up with a mother in nursing really gave me an intense respect for the body and how to care for it. I love personalizing tea for each individual to best help them through illness or alleviate their symptoms of chronic disease.
I believe I'm lowkey connected with the stars and when they are visible, I will get this special feeling and if I notice it, it is time for sitting in the window (if not possible or if there is too many ppl outside sit/ lay down right down on the floor) and look at the stars. It's pretty much a meditation, and I usually start with music and take the headphones out after a while.
would you make a video on your relationships with your plant allies & how you built that connection? It’s something I’m super interested in but i don’t know much about it !
I want a daily practice. I crave that stability 🥺 I hope I can work up to it. My mental health gets in the way of so much but I'm working on simplifying my life and hope to be the witch I dream of soon. This video is so inspirational and aspirational! Thank you 💜 stay safe, frankie. We need your kind spirit
@@donna6686 i am a witch and you tried saying all witches follow the same path, and that’s not true. and you act like we all believe in the same things when we DONT
I have to say it, your takes on practicing as a spoony witch and neurodivergent witch has been so refreshing. So much when I started studying years ago that held me back was the expectation in so many books and teachers and other practitioners for a strict daily practice made me feel like such a failure. I have horrible chronic back issues, ADHD, chronic fatigue and my craft for years had to take a back burner. And now I feel like that's okay! It took me so long to realize that my practice is MINE and won't look like everyone else's and it will look different every day and some days and times would be better than others. Hearing a witch I look up to so much validate that for me has been LIFE CHANGING. So thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Quick Bro Tip: Think very carefully about how much focus you put on rings. It can absolutely go south very quickly. In this heat I did just see two hobbits go by, after all. #sauron #frodolives #existentialism #notallfoxes
Interesting video, thank you! I have memorised some tips from you for the future) And you are very beautiful)) As for my daily practices, I make short prays before eating in my head (like "Thank you for this great food, let it serve to my body and mind for the best") and fill the food with imaginary light. I also take some protection talismans with me and surround myself with the white imaginary sphere or mantle, especially at the crowded places like underground. If I need more protection, besides I use protective mudras like "Shambala's shild" (nobody actually notices it but it really helps me). Also if I take some medicines, I additionally fill the water or the medicine itself with healing intention.
You can cast a circle, but it's fully up to you! I don't tend to use circles often in my practice, but rather keep objects near me that I associate with protection.
hi i’d really love a vid on medium stuff, specifically how to protect yourself if your clairsenses (? is that the word?) are starting to kick in and you get a lil spooked. i am hearing things, and sometimes not sure if it’s someone trying to communicate or if it’s mEnTaL iLlNeSs innit, ykno 😅 anyway would love to seen your perspective on that and love u u are great!!
I love how you do very chill and relaxing but also very interesting and educating video. Also I can feel the amazing energy from you, that confidence you have and that radiates from you. And the earrings, gorgeous but protective at the same time. What I do for example I workout and exercise and put it like a meditation/connecting with my body and my shadow. When I go out I always stop and try to feel the energy of the nature, its always amazing. I also recently started with shadow work, its INTENSE but it really helps me realize what needs healing and also set boundaries etc.. every morning and every night I draw sigils/runes/signs on my face with a cream and rub it into my skin. there are more but yes, I hope you have a great day, Blessed Be🥀✨
Ooooo I’m early to a video and not a live! This was awesome since I often forget to do my witchy stuff and being in a home where it is difficult to practice so this was nice
I too am on the floor. Craft is simply seeing the connection in all things. There are many daily ways to do that. Really like your channel. I just found it.
My daily practice during zero spoon periods of my life are sleeping with crystals or other spiritual tools near my bed and anointing myself with a protective oil before leaving the house (on the days that I leave the house). Meditation has become crucial for me too, but I try and vary the way I do it depending on my energy levels… so meditation for me can be as “straightforward” as washing the dishes or as elaborate as performing energy work or astral travel. It’s more about re-establishing connection than going through any motions. I loved this video and love your continual emphasis on building a sustainable practice!
Daily Tarot card readings, daily journaling, showering with intention, listening to music with intention, spending time with loved ones and checking in on them :)
Every day I try to light a candle or incense to spirit. It doesn’t have to be a specific deity or anything, just a simple dedication to the universe/elements/whatever you feel needs thanks or dedication. It’s simple and I think it builds a relationship between you and spirit even if you aren’t directly communicating with them
For the past few full moons I had a list of things planned, and I had a low spoon each time. Researching is my favorite low spoon daily practice, because even if I have no energy to do anything, reading or watching a video even is very easy. Even if you read like a paragraph, it’s still something.
Other witchy drink tips: ✏ I draw a sigil into my mug with honey, condensed milk, syrups, etc, then pour my drink and stir that sigil's intention in. 🍵 As a kitchen witch I also have certain ingredients pre-charmed for quick and effortless magick later, this is like lavender honey or rose sugar, it's easier to make than you think. Flavoured salts are also good for food. 🧘♂️ I actually ground with tea, my job is to think of nothing but the experience of my tea, the focus on all the senses on my tea for in the mug and even inside myself. If I do this with my sleepy tea I get so relaxed and ready for bed.
@@lesleconsdechoses4635 Hi, it's super simple, get dried food grade rose petals, grind them into a powder (you use a spice grinder, coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle your choice) and then mix the powder into a jar of sugar. I try to go about a 1:3 rose to sugar ratio as rose is a strong taste but you go by your open taste. For when and how to add intention, that's up to you, but I recommend visualising the intent while grinding in a mortar and pestle or to tell the rose what your intent is before mixing in clockwise. I also like to label my sugar and add a sigil to the label.
What you said about repairing your relationship with food really hit for me. I dont have celiac, but I'm a type 1 diabetic. Through finding my spirituality and embracing it, it's strangely helped me take back control over my body even though that wasnt really even my goal starting out. You might not be able to control the curve balls your body throws at you, but you can certainly control how you respond.
something thats super easy to do is at night when youre going around and checking to make sure doors are all locked you can take a second to visualize any negative energy or spirit or whatever that isnt wanted going out the door and locking it can be like a mini ward to keep it out :) its a super simple way of connecting the mundane to the magickal and kind of helped me understand how to make magickal connections on your own cuz locking the door is a mundane material activity to keep things and people from coming into your home but when you add that visualization youre taking that lock that already has that connection in your brain of safety or protection and making it a spiritual representation of keeping out unwanted energy
grounding is my go to thing for about, everything. i’m actually very glad you talked about that. i have adhd and sever gad, and learning to ground myself saved me from a lot of things
I relate so much Frankie. I can’t survive without a routine but I also have a hard time sticking to it because I hate structure and love spontaneity but I barely get anything done without a routine. My practice has been very hazy because I haven’t been doing much due to mental illness but I feel calmer now and feel more able to practice. So thank you for this I definitely need to ground more because I’m overstimulated easily
Great video. I just started watching videos on witch craft that pop up in my feed. So far videos that are on the natural way or instinctual are popping up. Which helps me to understand why I do what I do. I didn’t know that I was enchanting my jewelry or my coffee. Or the glamour with my skin care. It really has opened my mind that in essence we are all practicing witches we just put a different label on it. I look forward to more videos.
This is so beautiful. I've only just come across your channel this morning and immediately subscribed (I already follow you on tiktok so I recognised you!) and everything you said is right for me. I think sometimes we feel we need permission to feel that things are 'right', but I'm coming to be comfortable with trusting my instincts and being led by my ancestors and what is known to me subconsciously. A lot of what I do is 'made up', but I definitely have daily practice. It's early in the morning here, and I've literally just come inside, where I sat with nature, watched the mist and the dew, and my little slug friend who makes his journey from the moss at the side of the house to the dewy grass each day, closed my eyes and connected with the elements, listened to the birds chittering. The cat came to join me and did his own little morning wander, before we came back in together and I drank my coffee. I started doing this for mental health reasons, but it's most definitely part of me as a witch and a pagan. 🍃
Would wow wow! As per usual, this video came at a perfect time. My daily practice has pretty much dissolved due to work, family emergencies, moving (signed the lease on my first apartment!!!) etc. and I’ve been feeling a lot of guilt. This a video reminded me of something my therapist always emphasizes, which is: ‘Should’ thoughts are distorted thinking- ‘should’ according to whom? Is it a ‘real’ standard, such as a law, or a different, irrelevant, influence? You are what you are and that’s okay; you do not have to be anything else. Anywho, gonna gonna start focusing on intentions in every day things ☺️
Love this! Would you ever consider doing a video about your experiences working with the Morrigan? She’s a deity I’d eventually like to work with, so I would find your experiences really helpful x
I love consciously drawing for grounding, as well as meditation and breathing exercises. I love to walk in nature and connect to all my senses. Connecting to myself, inner child and nature is very powerful for me. Tarot and Oracle cards are great tools to understand us better, interpret and help with clarity. Singing and Chanting and dancing is also great to connect to the moment. Thank you for your video, it inspires me to also share what helps for me. :)) Life is not easy and Inner work is not easy as well, but being on this path knowing everyone has their own unique individual way, and this is ok, we are in this together. This helps me to relax and not rush.
My form of daily practice is wearing Lord Lucifer's sigil and jewelry that connects me to my ancestors. Because of the crazy schedule and currently being very low on spoons, it's pretty much the only thing I have strength for. Yet I am beyond grateful for their understanding. I get signs every now and then (confirmed through tarot) that make me appreciate their presence in my life even more. Thank you for this video, so many great ways to incorporate magical into mundane🖤
I have manifested your video !! ...creating my little practice for improvement reason but also looking to find my witchy practices...thank you for the video...I’m learning tarot and want to learn about all our sabbats....
I enchant my tea, I cover my hair (when I can) as a form of vail I light candles to speak to and pray to my deities I pray to my deities when I cant find things! I have an ongoing ritual candle where I will light it for a while everyday and will add a few herbs to the dish in accordance to what I need that day. Cleaning my house… Consulting my oracle cards I carry my favorite rocks I check the moon I also usually have my favorite bone in my pocket
I benefit greatly from tapping myself on my arms or legs when I’m around large amounts of people and feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from myself 💜🪨
I work with my crystals daily (personal collection & my inventory for my small business) - I always envision white light around me, sometimes I take a deep breath while envisioning breathing in that white light. I like to practice working with my own energy, mostly giving energy. I work with tarot, read a lot of various books, lots of candles and tea hahah.
Something I try to do every day is pull a tarot card (I’m a beginner) and write down how I feel about the card, What it means to me, etc. Then at night, I go and cross check what the guidebook says about that card and write down that as well. When I’m done with that, I go to my manifestation journal, and write down a whole page of things I’m grateful for. Showing gratitude to the universe will allow more positive things to come in ❤️
This video is such a great help for me, I have some mental health problems and I am often too exhausted too keep up with the same kind of daily practice as other TH-camrs I've seen. Makes me feel validated in that I can only do "small" things every day.
I’d absolutely love more information about updates resources for Italian (or even european) folk magic and where to get started looking at prehellenic gods etc and I’d love a jewellery video as it’s something I’ve been doing with varying degrees of success.
My big ones lately..... Writing in my journal Reading. Some fiction and some non. Might be a few pages and taking notes if needed. Petting my sister's cat Curling up under the Sherpa blanket
thank you so much for you channel! as a newer practitioner it has really helped and guided me. something i’ve started doing is just taking a moment to thank apollo (eventually they’ll be more but this is what works for me now) every morning.
I literally did a video about mundane items I witch with a few weeks ago and definitely touch on some of the same topics in that video. Biggest takeaway tho from my vid is the caveat that the most important for me is energy work and grounding which actually doesn’t require any items but myself and mother earth. I also have a folk magic practice - I’m based in Devon in England so heavily influenced by the native plants and trees and the spirits of place. 😊
I don’t know if this counts, but it’s becoming a thing that has become sacred in my routine. I have a 20 minute drive home from work everyday. I choose what songs I’m going to listen to with intention, and as a I drive home, I sing, listen, and just allow myself to release the things I’ve unconsciously picked up during the day. Any stress, any drama, I try my best to leave behind me, and just to have 20 minutes fully in myself. My drive has become a sacred time. I refuse to call anyone or do anything other than have my time to check in with myself. And then I come home, and I live with my partner, and we figure out what fun thing we’re going to do for the night. But that 20 minute drive has become a precious ritual of self care. I’m normally someone who’s very scared to be alone, I don’t always have the best relationship with myself, so enjoying that drive everyday feels like a victory. And it wasn’t until I watched this video that I realized that taking time like that, making a ritual of checkin and self care, could be considering putting magic in the mundane. Thank you Frankie for always broadening my perspective.

Absolutely!! Active meditation is one of my favorite things, since I tend to fall asleep while doing "typical" meditation.

A form of my daily practice is just lighting a candle. That's it
There's studies that the act of lighting one candle decreases stress! I need to get into this. Thank you!
I light two tea light candles morning or night in honor of Hekate. It’s very soothing and helps with intentions.
Its still a step away from the mundane, if thats what you can do, then thats what you can do!
A few of the witchy things that I do that you didn't mention are:
1. I have a straw broom that I have enchanted and carved my name into. I use it with intention to cleanse my home each time.
2. I make my own household cleaners with 50/50 white vinegar and water and add 12 to 15 drops of essential oil. I often use lavender and sage so that it's a perfect magical cleansing spray. I keep a piece of quartz inside the bottle as well. I often just use it to spray my curtains and pillows to make them smell really good.
3. When my house is smelling kind of stale and stinky I will put white vinegar into cups and place one in each room for half an hour to fully cleanse the air. The vinegar absorbs all nasty smells and you can pour them right down the drain. It works really well if you cook fish or burn popcorn.
4. I add a cup of white vinegar to every single one of my laundry loads and it helps to brighten my clothes while also being a generational remedy to avoid using bleach which is very caustic to our energy and clothing. I always begin each load by saying blessed be and pressing the start button. It sounds silly but I feel it's very important to cleanse our clothes as well as our minds and bodies. We spend every day in these garments and they should be properly taken care of.
I infused my white vinegar with citrus peels before I mix with water, EO, and a drop of dish soap. I love how bright and happy it smells. 💕

it takes a lot of effort to sit down and just read especially on days where my depression is bad
I listen to lots of audio books because sitting can be so so hard.
Audio books helps with that and I started physically reading things I know I like so for me it is sci-fi, fantasy young adult books haha I have a really hard time finishing books but I just tell myself before bed I will read 1 chapter in bed. That helps me to actually do it
Just try for half hour a day - that can still rack up 50+ books a year and is so good for your stress levels/blood pressure etc
This really warmed my heart. As I'm in recovery from trauma and ptsd. It feels like your body and mind is working against you. Thank you for helping me get the hope of winning my every day back
Bright blessings, Soul! You will get through it. And you will be so amazingly strong for it.
Oh, l know this feeling, I think small, simple daily ‘rituals’ and self care can be really important and useful in grounding ourselves and to learn to re-appreciate small moments that make our days worthwhile and help us to cope - good luck with your journey X
That ment so much to me, thank you
Me who has hardcore disassociation/dispersonalization: ah yes, grounding /lh
SAME grounding can be so hard but necessary.
i would love to know how to enchant / charm jewelry! i wear so much everyday & i would love to incorporate it into my practice.

Hey Sally the Editor! Thanks for including the Brazilian meme in the video, we love and appreciate it! 🖤🤣
Just finished a prayer with aphrodite then this comes up
Cray cat nerd here: my favorite grounding method thus far is brushing my cat. I take my time and baby talk to him while I spray him down with water (to wash out the pollen from his fur) and brush him out. He has terrible allergies so all of this is a must to keep him from itching and sneezing. It also is our "thang" and i do it for about 15 mins a day.
The only question i can think of is if u have an advice or anything for beginner witches who struggle with mental illness beside the shadow work ?
Honestly, go at your own pace. Formulate your practice to what works for you, not anyone else. Don't compare your practice and spirituality to anyone else's, and spend some time seeking out practitioners with similar struggles if you need extra inspiration!
@@ChaoticWitchAunt thank u so much 💚💚💚
Do what you can when you can, no one practice is the same. I have ADHD and sometimes don't have spoons. Also, rituals and spells do not need to be complex and ceremonial. My most common daily rituals are active meditation and grounding( often with my toddler) and stirring intention into drinks or food. Are there days I do more, yes, but some days that's all I've got in me to handle especially as a new educator this year too. You got this!💜
@@bookwyrmn thank u sm 💚💚💚
I struggle to keep my space nice when I'm depressed. You can carve out a bit of space as a sanctuary, maybe a comfy chair and enough space around it to put a drink. You can make it as simple or special as you want. Doesn't matter if it's tiny, once you have it you can start expanding it. I've got mine from just an armchair to half my living room.
😂😂😂 I've been told multiple times by the spirits that I need to drink more water and right before you said drink more water I did. 😂😂💀
I felt called out because I have been asking for help to drink more water 💀
Giant 75 oz jugs! Or gallon sized. I get 10 cups a water a day and easily tracked.
sometimes i put salt on my tongue not to much and then i down water because its very salty.
I literally bought Honoring Your Ancestors yesterday. I’m taking this as a sign from mine lol
Wow, what you said about food poisoning you really hit me hard, I've never thought about it like that. I was diagnosed with celiac almost 2 years ago now and I've definitely been struggling with my relationship with food... it's just so validating to know other people are going through the same types of things you are.
I'm not a celiac but I have my fair share of allergies and its frustrating, a local burger place added tomatoes on my go to order without telling about the changes ( I was lucky that I always check what I eat)
My sister has celiac and the food poisoning reference gave me a light bulb moment for sure! 😦💡
I've found that if I'm in 'negative' spoons that day, active meditation (if your body is up to it) can give me a few sppoms back, which really helps. Sending love to all my fellow witches, and I hope my fellow chronically ill witches find new and fulfilling ways to manage their day to day! 🥰 🥰 🥰
Hearing all the little ways I can incorporate magic into my daily mundane practices is so encouraging. I tend to forget to do anything because I used to approach magic with this "it has to be completely separate from everything else" mentality. Thankfully, I've outgrown that for the most part. I've realized that magic is a personal thing and there's no "wrong way" to do it. (Not saying that there aren't rules and guidelines. Just saying there's no right or wrong way to inherently practice.)
A thing I've kinda picked up in cleansing myself (spiritually as well as physically) in the shower. I imagine the suds represent any stagnant/yucky energy I've picked up through out the day and I watch just disappear down the drain.
I also charm my clothes with intention. And if I'm feeling really in need of it I'll draw a sigil on myself or on paper to carry around for the day.
YES please make a video on cleansing and charming jewlery
I just wanna say, I freaking love that you veil. I don't see a lot of people veiling and I like that you give that visibility. I would love to watch a video of you talking about this ♥️♥️♥️ Anyway, thanks for making all of this content!
I cannot express how refreshed I am to find a fellow witch who believes in mental health practices and the value therein. Witchcraft has immensely deep roots in mental health and understanding the self to understand others and be the best steward to the world we live in. I love your energy and how easily you can explain the facets of witchcraft in an easily digestible way. Blessings to you, love!
I personally am an apothecary and have a focus on the sciences an physical health. Growing up with a mother in nursing really gave me an intense respect for the body and how to care for it. I love personalizing tea for each individual to best help them through illness or alleviate their symptoms of chronic disease.
I believe I'm lowkey connected with the stars and when they are visible, I will get this special feeling and if I notice it, it is time for sitting in the window (if not possible or if there is too many ppl outside sit/ lay down right down on the floor) and look at the stars. It's pretty much a meditation, and I usually start with music and take the headphones out after a while.
would you make a video on your relationships with your plant allies & how you built that connection? It’s something I’m super interested in but i don’t know much about it !
I want a daily practice. I crave that stability 🥺 I hope I can work up to it. My mental health gets in the way of so much but I'm working on simplifying my life and hope to be the witch I dream of soon. This video is so inspirational and aspirational! Thank you 💜 stay safe, frankie. We need your kind spirit
@@donna6686 not everyone follows christianity:))
@@donna6686 well most witches don’t believe in the christian satan or hell anyways, so how can we go to a place we don’t believe.
@@donna6686 i don’t believe in heaven or hell. and you can not tell me what i believe. wake up little sheep
@@donna6686 plus not all witches follow the same path :)) please stop spouting absolute garbage and lies
@@donna6686 i am a witch and you tried saying all witches follow the same path, and that’s not true. and you act like we all believe in the same things when we DONT
I have to say it, your takes on practicing as a spoony witch and neurodivergent witch has been so refreshing. So much when I started studying years ago that held me back was the expectation in so many books and teachers and other practitioners for a strict daily practice made me feel like such a failure. I have horrible chronic back issues, ADHD, chronic fatigue and my craft for years had to take a back burner. And now I feel like that's okay! It took me so long to realize that my practice is MINE and won't look like everyone else's and it will look different every day and some days and times would be better than others. Hearing a witch I look up to so much validate that for me has been LIFE CHANGING. So thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Quick Bro Tip: Think very carefully about how much focus you put on rings. It can absolutely go south very quickly. In this heat I did just see two hobbits go by, after all. #sauron #frodolives #existentialism #notallfoxes
Hahahahaha
Would love a video on enchanting and charming 🙂🌼!
Noted!
Interesting video, thank you! I have memorised some tips from you for the future) And you are very beautiful)) As for my daily practices, I make short prays before eating in my head (like "Thank you for this great food, let it serve to my body and mind for the best") and fill the food with imaginary light. I also take some protection talismans with me and surround myself with the white imaginary sphere or mantle, especially at the crowded places like underground. If I need more protection, besides I use protective mudras like "Shambala's shild" (nobody actually notices it but it really helps me). Also if I take some medicines, I additionally fill the water or the medicine itself with healing intention.
Would you recommend doing a protection circle or something like that when you're doing glamour magic for protection, for instance?
You can cast a circle, but it's fully up to you! I don't tend to use circles often in my practice, but rather keep objects near me that I associate with protection.
hi i’d really love a vid on medium stuff, specifically how to protect yourself if your clairsenses (? is that the word?) are starting to kick in and you get a lil spooked. i am hearing things, and sometimes not sure if it’s someone trying to communicate or if it’s mEnTaL iLlNeSs innit, ykno 😅 anyway would love to seen your perspective on that and love u u are great!!
I love how you do very chill and relaxing but also very interesting and educating video. Also I can feel the amazing energy from you, that confidence you have and that radiates from you. And the earrings, gorgeous but protective at the same time.
What I do for example I workout and exercise and put it like a meditation/connecting with my body and my shadow. When I go out I always stop and try to feel the energy of the nature, its always amazing. I also recently started with shadow work, its INTENSE but it really helps me realize what needs healing and also set boundaries etc.. every morning and every night I draw sigils/runes/signs on my face with a cream and rub it into my skin. there are more but yes, I hope you have a great day, Blessed Be🥀✨
It would be really nice to see a video about charging jewelry
Ooooo I’m early to a video and not a live! This was awesome since I often forget to do my witchy stuff and being in a home where it is difficult to practice so this was nice
I too am on the floor. Craft is simply seeing the connection in all things. There are many daily ways to do that. Really like your channel. I just found it.
My daily practice during zero spoon periods of my life are sleeping with crystals or other spiritual tools near my bed and anointing myself with a protective oil before leaving the house (on the days that I leave the house). Meditation has become crucial for me too, but I try and vary the way I do it depending on my energy levels… so meditation for me can be as “straightforward” as washing the dishes or as elaborate as performing energy work or astral travel. It’s more about re-establishing connection than going through any motions.
I loved this video and love your continual emphasis on building a sustainable practice!
Daily Tarot card readings, daily journaling, showering with intention, listening to music with intention, spending time with loved ones and checking in on them :)
Every day I try to light a candle or incense to spirit. It doesn’t have to be a specific deity or anything, just a simple dedication to the universe/elements/whatever you feel needs thanks or dedication. It’s simple and I think it builds a relationship between you and spirit even if you aren’t directly communicating with them
I tend to talk to the animals I meet throughout the day like birds, squirrels, and bunnies
I’m loving this camera quality!!
thank you so much for saying that about celiac!! i have it too and i never thought about it that way, and i thought it was very interesting
Thumbs up if you actually waved to Sally! TYSM for another fantastic video, Frankie!
For the past few full moons I had a list of things planned, and I had a low spoon each time. Researching is my favorite low spoon daily practice, because even if I have no energy to do anything, reading or watching a video even is very easy. Even if you read like a paragraph, it’s still something.
Oh my gods; all of these spoke to my SOUL! From one chronically ill witch to another; thank you for this list! Brightest Blessings!
Other witchy drink tips:
✏ I draw a sigil into my mug with honey, condensed milk, syrups, etc, then pour my drink and stir that sigil's intention in.
🍵 As a kitchen witch I also have certain ingredients pre-charmed for quick and effortless magick later, this is like lavender honey or rose sugar, it's easier to make than you think. Flavoured salts are also good for food.
🧘♂️ I actually ground with tea, my job is to think of nothing but the experience of my tea, the focus on all the senses on my tea for in the mug and even inside myself. If I do this with my sleepy tea I get so relaxed and ready for bed.
Also, if you like having a wand you can have a special spoon that you embue with magick and turn into your beverage wand
Hi, fellow kitchen witch here ! I'm interested in your rose sugar recipe if you're okay sharing it 🙏
@@lesleconsdechoses4635 Hi, it's super simple, get dried food grade rose petals, grind them into a powder (you use a spice grinder, coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle your choice) and then mix the powder into a jar of sugar. I try to go about a 1:3 rose to sugar ratio as rose is a strong taste but you go by your open taste.
For when and how to add intention, that's up to you, but I recommend visualising the intent while grinding in a mortar and pestle or to tell the rose what your intent is before mixing in clockwise. I also like to label my sugar and add a sigil to the label.
Thanks a lot ❤️
What you said about repairing your relationship with food really hit for me. I dont have celiac, but I'm a type 1 diabetic. Through finding my spirituality and embracing it, it's strangely helped me take back control over my body even though that wasnt really even my goal starting out. You might not be able to control the curve balls your body throws at you, but you can certainly control how you respond.
something thats super easy to do is at night when youre going around and checking to make sure doors are all locked you can take a second to visualize any negative energy or spirit or whatever that isnt wanted going out the door and locking it can be like a mini ward to keep it out :) its a super simple way of connecting the mundane to the magickal and kind of helped me understand how to make magickal connections on your own
cuz locking the door is a mundane material activity to keep things and people from coming into your home but when you add that visualization youre taking that lock that already has that connection in your brain of safety or protection and making it a spiritual representation of keeping out unwanted energy
grounding is my go to thing for about, everything. i’m actually very glad you talked about that. i have adhd and sever gad, and learning to ground myself saved me from a lot of things
I do a daily Tarot one card draw. It gives me something to meditate with as well as help me remember the meanings of the cards!
i loved that you included spoon theory!
I relate so much Frankie. I can’t survive without a routine but I also have a hard time sticking to it because I hate structure and love spontaneity but I barely get anything done without a routine. My practice has been very hazy because I haven’t been doing much due to mental illness but I feel calmer now and feel more able to practice. So thank you for this I definitely need to ground more because I’m overstimulated easily
enchanting a drink in the morning with intent, yes!!!
Ohhh this is so helpful! I’m a beginner, and it’s been hard for me to figure out what to do daily to start my practice.
Great video. I just started watching videos on witch craft that pop up in my feed. So far videos that are on the natural way or instinctual are popping up. Which helps me to understand why I do what I do. I didn’t know that I was enchanting my jewelry or my coffee. Or the glamour with my skin care. It really has opened my mind that in essence we are all practicing witches we just put a different label on it. I look forward to more videos.
Can you do a video more in depth on how you interact with your deities or how you go about prayer/devotional practices? Love your videos!! 💕
@@donna6686 Thankyou for your unsolicited opinion. I’m glad Jesus works for you it’s just not my thing. 🤷🏻♀️
This is so beautiful. I've only just come across your channel this morning and immediately subscribed (I already follow you on tiktok so I recognised you!) and everything you said is right for me. I think sometimes we feel we need permission to feel that things are 'right', but I'm coming to be comfortable with trusting my instincts and being led by my ancestors and what is known to me subconsciously. A lot of what I do is 'made up', but I definitely have daily practice. It's early in the morning here, and I've literally just come inside, where I sat with nature, watched the mist and the dew, and my little slug friend who makes his journey from the moss at the side of the house to the dewy grass each day, closed my eyes and connected with the elements, listened to the birds chittering. The cat came to join me and did his own little morning wander, before we came back in together and I drank my coffee. I started doing this for mental health reasons, but it's most definitely part of me as a witch and a pagan. 🍃
I’m making sigils to put on my skin care now!
I got two little heart shaped evil eye beads and put them on earrings as a form of protection, I love them
I’m writing a note to my spirit guide every night ❤️❤️
18 seconds in and I already love your energy
Would wow wow! As per usual, this video came at a perfect time. My daily practice has pretty much dissolved due to work, family emergencies, moving (signed the lease on my first apartment!!!) etc. and I’ve been feeling a lot of guilt. This a video reminded me of something my therapist always emphasizes, which is: ‘Should’ thoughts are distorted thinking- ‘should’ according to whom? Is it a ‘real’ standard, such as a law, or a different, irrelevant, influence? You are what you are and that’s okay; you do not have to be anything else. Anywho, gonna gonna start focusing on intentions in every day things ☺️
Also: practical magic is my FAVORITE movie oh my goodness its early 2000’s GOLD
My therapist has me try to say "could" instead of "should". Makes it more of a choice than an obligation
Love this! Would you ever consider doing a video about your experiences working with the Morrigan? She’s a deity I’d eventually like to work with, so I would find your experiences really helpful x
I'm actually starting a series next week talking about my experiences with each of the deities I've worked with!
Podcasts are part of my research ritual.
I love consciously drawing for grounding, as well as meditation and breathing exercises. I love to walk in nature and connect to all my senses. Connecting to myself, inner child and nature is very powerful for me. Tarot and Oracle cards are great tools to understand us better, interpret and help with clarity. Singing and Chanting and dancing is also great to connect to the moment.
Thank you for your video, it inspires me to also share what helps for me. :))
Life is not easy and Inner work is not easy as well, but being on this path knowing everyone has their own unique individual way, and this is ok, we are in this together. This helps me to relax and not rush.
Any tips for accepting words like "pray" when having religious issues from Christianity?
Consider an alternative word like conversing ! You're talking to your deities :)
My form of daily practice is wearing Lord Lucifer's sigil and jewelry that connects me to my ancestors.
Because of the crazy schedule and currently being very low on spoons, it's pretty much the only thing I have strength for. Yet I am beyond grateful for their understanding. I get signs every now and then (confirmed through tarot) that make me appreciate their presence in my life even more.
Thank you for this video, so many great ways to incorporate magical into mundane🖤
I recharge my tigers eye gauges every night 💖 they work wonders
I would personally love to see a whole video on cleansing and charming jewelry/wearables.
Yes yes yes, pleeeease make a whole video on enchanting daily objects!!
I would loveee a more detailed video on charming objects 💕
i journal daily as a form of meditation/ grounding and i “wash” the negative energy of the day of while showering
Thank you algorithm for leading me here. I needed to watch this
I have manifested your video !! ...creating my little practice for improvement reason but also looking to find my witchy practices...thank you for the video...I’m learning tarot and want to learn about all our sabbats....
Video on enchanting jewelry, please!
We appreciate all you do. New to the channel, definitely very helpful and good.
I enchant my tea,
I cover my hair (when I can) as a form of vail
I light candles to speak to and pray to my deities
I pray to my deities when I cant find things!
I have an ongoing ritual candle where I will light it for a while everyday and will add a few herbs to the dish in accordance to what I need that day.
Cleaning my house…
Consulting my oracle cards
I carry my favorite rocks
I check the moon
I also usually have my favorite bone in my pocket
I love your energy! Very calming. 🥰💜😀
I benefit greatly from tapping myself on my arms or legs when I’m around large amounts of people and feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from myself 💜🪨
I love doing butterfly taps! You tap between one arm and the other. It always grounds me.
I work with my crystals daily (personal collection & my inventory for my small business) - I always envision white light around me, sometimes I take a deep breath while envisioning breathing in that white light. I like to practice working with my own energy, mostly giving energy. I work with tarot, read a lot of various books, lots of candles and tea hahah.
Love your channel. Thank you for your help along our paths! Blessed be!
I would love to learn more about the enchanting/charming of items!!
I’m always up for book recommendations!
I discovered your channel today and it's one of those "as if" moments, as I literally half an hour got a diagnosis of Coeliac disease.
Thank you for your videos! I'm a witch myself and your videos help and inspire me!
Something I try to do every day is pull a tarot card (I’m a beginner) and write down how I feel about the card, What it means to me, etc.
Then at night, I go and cross check what the guidebook says about that card and write down that as well.
When I’m done with that, I go to my manifestation journal, and write down a whole page of things I’m grateful for. Showing gratitude to the universe will allow more positive things to come in ❤️
Girl you look fire in this video 🔥❤️
a video on enchanting jewelry and other objects would be so awesome!!!
praise post notifs 🙏🙏
This video is such a great help for me, I have some mental health problems and I am often too exhausted too keep up with the same kind of daily practice as other TH-camrs I've seen. Makes me feel validated in that I can only do "small" things every day.
I’d absolutely love more information about updates resources for Italian (or even european) folk magic and where to get started looking at prehellenic gods etc and I’d love a jewellery video as it’s something I’ve been doing with varying degrees of success.
My big ones lately.....
Writing in my journal
Reading. Some fiction and some non. Might be a few pages and taking notes if needed.

I like the practice of 'Enchanting your Drinks'. Coffee and Tea are made with Water, which (allegedly) holds Memory.
Please do a jewelry charming in-depth video!!
thank you so much for you channel! as a newer practitioner it has really helped and guided me. something i’ve started doing is just taking a moment to thank apollo (eventually they’ll be more but this is what works for me now) every morning.
I literally did a video about mundane items I witch with a few weeks ago and definitely touch on some of the same topics in that video. Biggest takeaway tho from my vid is the caveat that the most important for me is energy work and grounding which actually doesn’t require any items but myself and mother earth. I also have a folk magic practice - I’m based in Devon in England so heavily influenced by the native plants and trees and the spirits of place. 😊
Part of my daily practice is cleansing my room.
