Tips for Beginning in Your Craft

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ค. 2024
- I filmed this video in 2020. I then only edited it last year, and I've sat on it since November. Why? Because I sat on it thinking, "Do people really need this video again?" But I thought about it, ran it across all my friends, and figured, yeah, we do. It never hurts to go over basics again, and it also never hurts to have a better, new and improved version of something that many people stated that they felt helped them so much early on.
Hopefully, it's still helpful. Best of luck~

This was wonderful, Thank you so much... 😌😌😌💫💫💫🪄🐉🧚♀️🧡
Yes! ❤ One DOES need to revisit the basics now & again. Great Masters practiced the basics often; to remember our source, and to know ourselves better. 😁
Yes we do need this video! 😍😍😍
I really am so happy and grateful you posted this now, I actually kinda started researching in 2020, but I loved having this video now. Especially with how beautifully crafted it is and how much artistry and hard work you put into it. I feel like you are creating stuff that is brand new and will inspire people to create more and more :)
Thanks Olivia! This was a really helpful video that I even watched twice to get as much out of it as possible. Lovely video!
I've been practicing witchcraft for 17 years but I'm still interested in tips for beginners. I always learn something new with other practitioners and with myself. That's the beauty of this path.
I agree! Beginners have a fresh perspective, which can be very helpful. It is always beneficial to hear a different point of view, or see a different way. Magick is no place for stagnation!
I’ve been practicing for nearly 20 years as well and I agree : )
Same!
3rd that same here!!
Yes!! I feel like I never stop learning! It's a continuous craft that never stops bringing something new ❤️🙏🏻
Olivia: I´m not a professional...
Also Olivia: Procedes to freaking Nuke a poor spirit in a table at Green Witch´s house
😂😂
Hey! That spirit was terrifying Annabel! “Poor spirit” my ass. 🤣🤣
Bahahaha
Did you even watch the video ?
Have you ever lived in a Haunted house ?
She didn't say she didn't know what she was doing, she said she wasn't a professional! She said she doesn't do spells for money. If you look up the definition you will see what I mean.
I also do not do spells for money because it is not my profession.. but I will help people when I can.
“Science chases fact.” -My husband’s go to phrase to explain things not yet backed by empirical scientific data.
Science is essentially the scientific method.
I've been practicing since I was 14, I'm 30 now. I can pretty comfortably call myself not a beginner, however sometimes these videos are a nice reminder to keep ourselves grounded, or on what beginning practitioners need to hear from a studied witch like myself.
Also it was *beautiful* so always worth the watch.
Hello!! Fifteen year old aspiring witch here- I just wanted to say that it's so lovely to hear this? All the witches I meet online always seem to be in their 20s to 30s, and it does sometimes make me feel small, so just knowing that someone did start at fourteen, and then did keep the craft is just... Very reassuring. Wishing you an enjoyable day
@@dmitreeeee sksk I'm also 15, and wanted to be a witch
Any time I feel less witchy, all I need to do is watch one of your videos. They inspire me, and make me feel more magickal. Thx Olivia.
I’m new to the practice and I used the term “baby witch” to a priest of a coven and he said “no you’re not helpless you’re not a baby, you’re just new.” And that totally hit me. I learned that term online and I realized I have been keeping my socializing with witches digital. Now that I’m finally opening up in person it’s so different! That’s one of my biggest tips is find like minded people and learn from each other! Talk to them in person and raise your energy and theirs it’s so life changing. Thank you for this video, I found it at the perfect time
I hate the term baby witch. No one here are babies, young maybe, but not babies. If you're new to practicing say you're new, but don't call yourself a baby. The only baby witches are those babies being raised in the craft.
@@andreasmith6330 how I wish I could meet some like minded people. It would be so exciting to be with others who live it and wouldn't mind a new witch in the mix.
This is the earliest I’ve ever been to a video, and I just came here to say the vibe in this video is immaculate. Especially saying “hello” to what I can only assume was a crow or raven
I grew up in a spiritual household and I've been practicing witchcraft for about a year and a half. I wouldn't call myself a beginner witch but i am definitely still at the beginning of my witchcraft journey. This video was a lovely reminder as to why i started practicing in the first place. This video is truly magical and fills me with so much wonder.
This was such a beautiful video! In this, it is easy to see how much you love your craft, magick, and the Earth. I love seeing how your artistry has developed as well with filming. Take care & enjoy the snow! 🥀🖤
i turn 60 this year....came out of the "broom closet " last year...have felt the stir since childhood, was always the weird kid that picked up bones, rocks, feathers, etc...after living a lifetime with the organized religious yoke on me, after an awakening, Im back on the path i always felt / knew. So much to learn, understand, practice...these videos are a tremendous help & support. Family and most friends don't understand , but oh well....
I. LOVE. YOUR. COAT! 😍 and I do in every video I see it in lol. I hopped off your videos in the beginning for a while because, well, I was young and dumb and rushing into it and felt like your videos weren’t what I was looking for (though I was still subscribed I just didn’t watch as often). Now, as my own craft has grown and I realize where I was…approaching it all wrong, I’ve found my way back to your videos and really appreciate them for what I should have in the first place. Thank you. Also, I love how your cinematography and editing has changed and grown as well. Your content is wonderful.
I actually was just checking TH-cam for something to watch and then you Uploaded
Perfect timing
Girl I everything you said about science and magic is on point! I’m working on a science major and I am constantly making connections between what I learn in class an in my practice. 🥰 this is probably my favorite video so far.
I'm a crone so I been practicing for years. I learn something new everyday and that is the beauty of witchcraft I do believe...We never stop learning..I have to agree with writing everything down..In the past I never did this and I have many regrets. We didn't have all the resources that there are now. We just learned by trial and error. Right!! We didn't have all the places to get our tools..I guess this is why I don't use so many of them. I mainly just use myself and my intention..I have always loved herbs..I make oils for a shop in our town..I truely love my job..I love helping people by crafting so many things. Making oils just come natural to me. It has taken years for me to put my knowledge to work for me and everyone else who buys them.
Olivia, THIS WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO! Thank you so much for sharing this. I loved the crow cameos in the background. 😂 Phenomenal tips and advice. Thank you! ❤
When you talk about magick being science that we don't understand yet, I immediately think of the placebo effect. I know many people use it as a way to discount the effects of drugs and treatments, but witchcraft fully embraces the importance of one's mindset. Other than that it exists, the field of psychology hasn't really established how it works, only that it can be surprisingly strong (sometimes as strong as morphine in studies on pain).
Love that the crow/raven came by. They are part of my spirit totem and they always comes when im on the right path.
thank you olivia
This video is poetry: Beautiful, conveying truth, shifting us into a better space. 💎 Thank you.
I think "refreshing" some of the older videos is very needed across TH-cam. I think "refreshing" videos, especially beginner videos, shows how creators evolve and have more relevant information and experience to share! I love this type of content!
the council of little people inside my brain that make dumb choices and ruin my life has decided you are my comfort person now.
Loved this !!! Some practitioners get mad when I say a witch is a witch no matter the gender. They call male witches “warlocks” and they’re two different things. Some don’t understand. And even correct me.
A psychic once told me I was a wizard in a past life but idk I don't like pointy hats lol...I do have tons of energy pouring out of my hands though and I just starting learning tarot and crystal healing. I also have played around with magic for 10 years so maybe I was 😆 I like anything mystical...nothing is real, but your experience is!
I seen a lot of Annabel Margret/The Green Witch channeled into the cinematography. Absolutely stunning. Well done Miss 💖
It's the drone shots that sold it! hehehe
@@TheWitchOfWonderlust it was an absolutely fantastic video. I sent it to everyone LOL I'm excited for your next one!
For me it just came naturally and since I was young...5,6,7 and it was interesting to watch my daughter, without any encouragement, never even saw me do anything, but started to practice on her own quite young which at that point I had to step in and warn her to be careful and teach her that from now on everything she says or thinks will have power behind it, so she needs to control herself, her moods, thoughts and words.
First I was like “nice choice of music, I love Trevor kowalski” and I realized that he makes music for epedemic classical. Also great fucking video
IM ACTUALLY CRYING THIS VIDEO IS NOT ONLY INFORMATIVE BUT SO BEAUTIFUL OMGAAAAASHHHHHHH
I love the snow, the music and vibe of this video.
Thank you so much! Great great video! Much love for you beautiful being! ❤️
Yes! This video is great, in so many ways. I have an obsession with combining science or more specifically, quantum physics, with sacred geometry and energy frequencies and patterns to create a greater understanding of how magick actually works. My goal in my TH-cam channel is going to be to try to put into words the interconnectedness of our multidimensional reality that we are of. Thank you for being inspiring in your videos.
I'm a 15 year practitioner & really enjoyed this, thank you. Well done.
I,m doing , awe connecting to my angels and guides, plus ancestors moving slowly, with my craft .
Hi Olivia! I just wanted to reach out to you and just give you a huge thank you! I am a new baby witch and your videos on TH-cam have helped me so much. I just turn your videos on relax and take notes. Your energy is so beautiful and it's like you are in my bedroom with me teaching me while a learn so many new things. Again thank you so much for being such a beautiful person! Blessed be!
The background & scenery was breathtaking. Looks like you made a crow friend too. Lol.
Really glad you decided to upload the video.
I love you! Most people tell beginners not to try spells. You are like spells for dummies! You make me feel like it is possible for me to try. Thank you so much! Just use what you have! I love that!
You have a very intense gaze... I feel like you are holding my soul in your eyes. I love it. 💚
the moment when the raven/crow caws after you said "hello"... 🥺🖤
Olivia this video in winter nature is completely magical with the bird we are waiting for, what a beautiful synchronicity🌲🌿🌻
This was a beautiful video. Thank you for your tips. I like the fact that you tell people you don’t need “fancy things” to practice. Being resourceful makes so much more sense. Your videos are awesome. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
I absolutely loved this video! I can definitely see how far you've come, you're so much more confident now. I love it!
Thank you!!!! "Magic is undiscovered science!" Yes I'm not alone!!!
hi, i read the pinned comment and i’d just like to thank you for publishing this video
I’m mesmerized by you.and how cool was the crow saying hi!
I am Wiccan and I absolutely LOVE it! I want to know everything I can about all the different things around us. I'm a knowledge spunge and love to learn!
this video is so aesthetically beautiful i can't stop watching it
Thank you so much for this. You're amazing for doing this. I am 35, lost. I have it in my blood from my ancestors but due to the other religion practiced in my home growing up I was not allowed to do what I felt I wanted to. Wicca is considered the devils work in my family. Few years later..married a person who slowly prevented me from practicing. I haven't had much support. My grandma passed before she could teach me. Thanks for this. I've been so lost and been guided to so many wrong places(I get feelings). You explain everything so well here. Thanks young lady
Lovely. I seem to bump into your videos now and again, at specific moments. Old High Priestess and educator here, now very sick, and needing healing energy from others. Your thoughts are practically evolved, and evolving, and I find your introspection and acceptance of growth encouraging, with your online coven appropriately named. Please continue on your path, and may it be blessed.
Absolutely beautiful!! I'm so glad you finally decided to release it.
Great video Olivia :) This is THE video every beginner needs. Many beginner videos are "How to", "What to buy" or "What to read" videos..and those are awesome videos for new practioners . However, THIS video speaks to the self doubt and feelings of confusion that a beginner often has. I remember when I started on my path I thought I was doing it all wrong and comparing myself to others. I couldn't afford all the fancy tools. I didn't live in a nicely wooded area where I could sit under a huge tree and journal. It made me very discouraged. With tons of information at your fingertips. It’s important to know that everything you need is right where you are and what works for you is what's best. Blessings
Thank you, Olivia! I think so much of this is advice for all of us no matter where on the path we are. To recenter is so important sometimes! With so many distractions in the world, it's important to remember what we started for and where we are going
This is beautiful. I'm not new to the craft but, it was a wonderful reminder on how to be in the craft. I'm so glad you decided to share.
As a Grey witch, I love that you spoke on this! The idea of separation is the illusion. Also, remaining mindful of cultural practices is always advised 🥰
I love remake of videos, thanks for sharing it with us. The way you exist on the internet inspires me to be better in so many ways
Thank you so much for making this!! Your videos are always so beautiful and help me to feel calm and grounded as well as helping me along in my craft. Thank you!
Love the updated video and info, thank you!
I just watched this right after watching the original. I needed it. Thank you
I loved this one! Thank you so much for taking the time, effort and patience to explain the magic of the world as you see it. I really resonate with the way you talk about the practice since that first version of this video and it feels like you helped me opening the door of my own path. I'll be forever grateful.
You look so happy! Thank you for this video! I feel like I’m ready to start!
Olivia this is an absolutely beautiful video full of really good and sound advice. I'm glad you've posted this and I hope many more witches see this as everything you said really made sense and resonated with me. Thank you lovely lady, you're an inspiration to my craft.
Everything about this video is just so beautiful and magical.
I am awstruck! This is such a beautiful episode ♡ I've been watching some of the first videos you posted and this could not have come at a better time. It is snowy here in Texas and this is the perfect pairing! Thank you for always reminding us to be open minded and to never lose our curiosity. I feel those traits are so rewarding and I hope we all do!
I loved the simplicity of the video. I also loved the way the birds seem to want to connect to your presence.
This video is gorgeous and so helpful, thank you!
Yay more study material I love it💚 and I’m so glad you address labels! It seriously stresses me out to where I don’t want to talk with many people about it because I feel I have choose a title of witch when I just want to learn and practice what calls to me.
Beautiful video! I appreciated how you touched on things that most videos don’t; the scientific aspects, how your practice will change the longer you work at it, and taking it all with a grain of salt. I will be sharing this with others. Thanks so much for posting this, I love it. 💖
Olivia you have come SO FAR! I’m so happy I stumbled across your moon water video a few years back your outlook is HEALING. Please know you’ve helped SO many of us find our way. I hope your plans are manifesting on a harmonious path. Blessings from Australia ✨💙🐨
This video is a chamber of so precious knowledge. Thank you Olivia^^
BEAUTIFUL short film! I've always enjoyed your work but wow! This one is a step above the rest. Way to go sister!
Olivia you're such an inspiration like truly ❤️ thank you for even taking the time to redo this because even though I've been trying to gather stuff and figure out where to learn I still got overwhelmed and needed a where to begin 😅
I love this so much, I always learn something new from you. Thank you so much for sharing what you have learned and encouraging me to continue on my magickal path of practice 🌈🍄❄️
I LOVED this video. It’s so beautifully done, and exactly the information I think so many newbies need. Stay safe!
I'm so glad you remade this video. The first one helped me significantly and this one did just the same
I’m only two years into my practice… and I’m so glad I found your channel. This video was much needed. 🌻
I remember watching your original video and it was very informative and very well done but I also believe that it was necessary for you to make this video not so much as a remake but more of a update of progress in your talents and also because it was beautiful. You have grown so much in the past few years and I enjoy your content always thank you very much
Thank you for this video, Olivia. I have been practicing for over a year now, but have felt somewhat lacking on motivation after a spell that took a lot of preparation and effort didn't work out. After watching this video and some introspection, I feel excited to continue down my path. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I can't explain how on point it was to exactly what I needed
This is the best introduction I've ever seen! ALL THIS, from how science doesn't take the magic away to your crow friend :D Thank you. Not to mention beautifully done
Thank you. I've haven't practiced in way too many years. Recently I've thinking about getting back into it, it just seems like a point in my life where it would be beneficial, and this video I think is a sign to take some initiative and do it.
This was an absolutely fantastic video, and seeing stuff like this over and over again helps me build my foundation in witchcraft more solidly.
But I also have to say, I'm absolutely jealous of the setting you chose to record this video in. The forest with its trees, the almost-frozen river, the mountains, and the weather gently snowing without being too harsh, and the bird that arrived to contribute their own commentary.
It feels like there's almost no places like this where I live anymore, that haven't been claimed as private land.
I absolutely ADORE this video!!!
I am just now exploring this journey that I have felt called to for years. This video helped me ALOT...thank you for choosing to post it.
Thank you so much for this beautiful and impactful video. Going to share this for sure!
Thank you for this perspective! It has been very helpful.
Excellent video, Magickal as it gets . Chefs kiss!
Wow. A stunningly beautiful video, and the single best commentary I've seen. A classic work. Thank you.
Simply beautiful! Thank you. So very much. Your perspective is so balanced and truly precious. It helped.
Thanks for this info again,glad to see your back ,your looking well,it's a lifetime journey a magikal life always learning ,blessed be
I want to say that I love when you do videos like this it reminds me that your videos helped me find my practice and belief. I am not a witch or Wiccan but you did help me find animism and I know am a theurgist, it fits with what I was looking for in my life and you are right I started to see the world much much differently after a week so i must say thank you.
This helps me understand more than I knew before. Thank you for taking time to help others. Blessed be 🕯️🙏🏼
❤ Lovely! Thank you for enriching our lives.
May your light continue to shine brightly. ❤
This is a beautiful video. Thank you Olivia. I hope you're having a great Imbolc ❤
I absolutely love your videos! You are so enjoyable to listen to. Blessings.
thank you - made my day...I always looked at magic as "manipulating energy"....
It's all one and ruled by the universal laws once these are understood truly...youre unlimited to the dreams you can manifest into fruition! Gratitude and love for the balance and seeking perspectives from every single person, place, experience or being for there is ALWAYS a piece of gold to grow your soul. Children often understand that we should be in awe and wonder of all unknown and newly encountered experience and view. We all have gifts to offer in some form or another
"Just because we're able to explain something shouldn't make it any less magickal."
For a while now, some jaded part of me has held me back from learning things in general (very uncharacteristic of me) because it believed I "would lose that magical feeling of wonderment" for whatever it was. I now firmly believe I was drawn here to hear that. Learning is what keeps the magickal feeling alive.
Thank you and looking forward to learning from you.
Love the coat!!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I needed to hear some type of advice because I've been so confused. The feelings inside me overwhelm me because I am anxious and yearning to learn my craft but it has been very confusing and mind-boggling and I end up with more questions than answers at the end then I did in the beginning. You have made things a lot more clearer for me. Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
normally i do not comment on any videos but i have to say that i am so in love with your videos, you share so much of your experiences and i have honestly learned a lot as a beginner from your videos. i just wanted to say thank you for your work. you are truly a beautiful person! blessed be!
Wow how i love your teachings and the beauty of you videos and I got such a giggle when you acknowledged the birds
For me I have always loved magic and fantasy but because of mainstream media I thought witches are mainly bad.
But I always kind of knew I was a witch.
A subconscious voice or well my faery companion telling me I will find out in the right time when I am at my lowest.
Which happened last year.
Now I remember how I used magic to heal from mental wounds. And to be strong and independent. And I still do that now while also trying to help people.
And I always worked with fairies/faeries/spirits/mythological creatures and nature.
But I also always did Lucid dreaming/ outer body experiences (but I am very sceptic of the outer body experience part) and I like to work with divination.
Now I am celebrating Imbolc. all these years I always wondered why I used to feel so powerful and happy in around this time (and around Ostara). why could I sense the spring coming while it was still snowing outside?
With witchcraft everything starts making sense.
You are amazing. Thank you Olivia.
