Baby Witch Tip - Find something simple that really interests you and start there. Candle Magic, Tarot, Growing Herbs or things that don't take up a lot of time or money. Simple things will give you great results if you put true intention in them. Also, HAVE FUN!!!
What if you've found several simple things that interest you (in my case, just about everything you've mentioned- candle magic, tarot, oracle, herbs, cooking, etc. etc., but have so little money that you struggle to start your practice or find resources? (Well, I stumbled across a few great blogs, some history, and this channel, but the more, the better, you know?)
@@justyourdailydoseofdisappo805 in my personal experience you don't need money to start as you can make or find almost anything yourself - as for resources, I would look into public libraries and anything online. Hope that helps 💚
@@Thewitchescookery Thank you so much! I have been doing as much research as I can online as of recent, but sometimes it feels like you need to invest money into the work, you know? Your reply really helps, though! Do you have any tips on how to actually practice spells, since I can't necessarily afford any particular materials?
@@justyourdailydoseofdisappo805 i do most my spells with only pen and paper. In basically any of my vlogs I always show 1 to 3 spell or ritual ideas and I. have some videos on DIY witchcraft supplies :)
"magic without the mundane doesn't work" - how true! You won't be able to become a concert pianist, if you don't practice enough every day. Magic will help you fulfil your potential, but we have to do the active part and then give magic the chance to work. 🌸 Thank you for keeping our feet on the ground and keeping it real!
this confuses me, i didn’t know what the word “mundane” meant so i googled it and the definition was “dull, uninterested, non spiritual, of this earth”
I'm a starter witch but I'm male, and 45 years old. I sometimes feel like I have no business being a witch due to gender and age. It feels like witches are only young, female and beautiful like you, at least from what I see online. But I'll continue to do what feels right for me. Great video! I learned about you through Alwyn Oak and her forest journeys and DIY lol! I am now a subscriber of yours as well.
You most definitely have a place in the witchcraft community - regardless of age and gender. There are many people like you out there (even if they might not present themselves online) ☺️❤️ welcome to the channel and I do hope you find many videos you enjoy!
I'm also 45 and just started to get into witchcraft. I been interested since I was a teenager but never did anything. Now I am. You are never too old start something. Men can be witches there called warlocks. 😊
I'm 69 years old and have to live with my elderly parents that are devoted "christians". So I have my own bedroom. I started my first altar without instructions. I am not allowed to be a witch so I do it in secret. I was out in their backyard that has a lot of trees and a brook. I went across the bridge and something drew my attention to my feet. There was about 4 very large acorns. First thing I thought was they were a gift from Mother Earth and I thanked her. I the found a few oak leaves that were attached to a little twig. I found other things. I decided I would put them on my chester drawers next to my TV that I don't watch. It has a black screen. I had bought a ghost that sings trick or treat and flashes different colors. I put that up there too. I had made and painted a piece of foam of a pumpkin and put it behind the ghost. To me that is a way to acknowledge the fall and Halloween. Then I asked my mother if I could buy a Jack-o-Lantern and put it on the front porch. She said yes. I almost passed out from holding my breath thinking she was going to give me a lecture on witchcraft being evil. The pumpkin is ceramic. Then I bought a couple of pomegranates and a real small pumpkin for making a pumpkin latte. All these things are my altar. And me crossing my fingers. So, in my situation I have to put my altar in my bedroom. My mother thinks I'm just decorating for fall. I just don't know what to do other than look at it and enjoy the season.
You're such a helpful, down to earth, practical person. You've really made witchcraft accessible to me, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that!
Same here...baby here so I'm getting a lot of knowledge from her...I do feel my own path as an herbalist...I'm green all the way an just som good tips here n there will not hurt anyone 😎🤗🤗🤗 an yes yesssss hav fun!!!
I love that you mentioned "you can go outside and find a stick that you like and decide it's your wand" because I literally walked past a stick one day and felt suuuuuper drawn to it for some reason, it had never happened before, so I picked it up and carried it with me all day then brought it home and wondered if I could use it as a wand lmao
That first tip is pure gold! I'm the type to overprepare for everything, and my witchy practice is no different. So much reading, so little actual ✨ practice ✨... thanks for this reminder to jump in and actually do stuff. Also, I'm relatively new to your community so I just feel the need to say again that I love your videos! A perfect blend of information + aesthetics + humour + realness. Thank you for all the work you put into your content!
I am so happy this served you as a good reminder ☺️ it is so easy to get overwhelmed with all the information to forget the actual practice! Also: thanks so, so much for your sweet words - you are so kind 💕
I agree! I've had an interest in witchcraft for a while and have just recently made an effort to get into it all, and I can't help but feel like I need to know everything before attempting a spell- I also feel like I need to spend money on materials before beginning, but I'm a broke minor who can't do so yet. That tip helps, but I'll have to figure out how to work around my shortcomings.
I love your approach. When I first took up the craft as a 14yo baby, I was so put off by the dogma and people I met in Wiccan AOL chats (lol I’m old) and I never really had anyone to differentiate WITCH from WICCAN. I’ve been living a green witch’s life for decades afraid to use the word because I thought it had to be attached to well... basically another church/religion full of rules, creepy men (my experience), and stuff I didn’t like/believe. I’m a little bummed I let those mean adults in the 90s run me away from a term I’ve always had in my heart. ✨💜 Thanks for all you do!
I am so sorry to hear that this happened to you! I can totally understand it though - when I started out (in the early 2000s) the online community was mainly veeeery traditional Wicca with a lot of unpleasant gatekeeper's and it wasn't as open-minded and 'you do you' as it is today. But so happy you are back on your personal path and finding your way 💚🌼☺️
I have found doing daily "mundane" work builds the magic throughout the week. By the weekend, when I actually have time to focus on my practice for longer periods of time, I feel as if my magical energies have increased. If I don't do anything during the week I find the energies are harder to build up, as if I have lost touch. My daughter has also commented on the difference, "the house doesn't feel as magical mom".
I find it so cool that your daughter can pick up on that! 💚 Very interesting way to work your magic too - and to fill your house with constant good energies ☺️🌷
@@TheGothicMother She moves energy easily for her age. She seems to be more on the healing side of things. We have weekly/daily lessons on herbs and the elements around us. We will be out for a walk and I will ask what does the wind tell you, can you smell the rain coming? My mother taught me now I teach her.
I’ve been a witch for 6 months now and this is by far the best and most real ‘tips for baby witches’ type video I’ve seen. And I have seen a lot of them. I’m a new sub now! You have such a realistic and refreshing viewpoint and I really appreciate your common sense, acceptance and honesty. You also make me laugh! Thank you and as a newer green witch I’m psyched to dive into all of your existing videos and see future ones soon!
Oh! You responded! How lovely! Yes! And even then, my two year old finds his way in there and has broken so many crystals. Lol. I keep dangerous things up high. Lol. My other two LOVE to learn and participate but I let it be their choice always and never anything dangerous. :). Mostly just cleansing and pulling cards and making stuff. I love your videos. Thank you for being a blessing to the community.
I do always try to respond (as long as the demon lets me hihi) 😄 oh I feel you! Mine doesn't break things but he has taken a liking to my rune stones and loves to stuff them behind the couch pillows 🙄 so cool that your older kids are so interested! 💚
I've always had an interest in witchcraft but I haven't started practicing. I'm so glad I found your channel. It's inspiring me again! Thanks for all your videos :)
I want to thank you for all you do and your honesty. I am born onto witchcraft. My first tarot deck was when I was about 9yrs old. My grandmother had her alter as do I in my meditation room. I consider myself a healing and cookery witch. I came to earth this life to serve and heal. Best to you and your family.
I love the gentleness of Wicca it’s so peaceful but I’m not for rules so I like the idea of spiritual beliefs separate from practicing witchcraft so you can believe whatever you want or not believe anything at all
Also the connection with the natural world and of course the holidays are lovely 😊 but just like you, I am non for rules either hihi and having spiritual freedom does feel too good 💚
I particularly like the don’t fall for a scam! People ask me all the time to be their mentor and I never agree as you need to be with someone, and actually want to help them personally - well that I what I think.
I love this. I have much the same thinking. Magic for me is often best when kept simple. I started my path with Wicca, but looking back at my childhood, I was walking a Fae way long before that. I can remember at 5 feeling very connected to nature and all things in it. Now at 50 I'm ready to settle into my Crone stage and my mystical and elemental magical side. I love doing work with the elements associated with the Zodiac. I think what beginner witches need to know is that witchcraft is a journey that can evolve over time and will probably take them to interesting places. I may have started Wiccan and with Moon worship, but my journey had me including Toaism, Norse and Christian in my practices. This has helped me keep things balanced throughout the changes in my life. I love that the grimoire I use most is my main cookbook which has not only my favourite recipes, but some handed down from my mom.
Thank you! I'm still pretty new and I'm trying to filter all the massive amounts of information to make sure I'm trying to do everything correctly and educating myself enough. I've watched many of these advice videos and I have to say all your advice is so refreshing. Thank you so much for this video!
So happy to hear you found it refreshing 🥰 and it can be soooo overwhelming in the beginning with all the flood of information (and misinformation) out there!
I started past Beltane, start at a later age than many witches and the advantage is life experience. Like that, there is already this “I do what feels right”-attitude. So that also means I am not obliging anything to myself and so I am a witch but without defining myself as such or such witch. So yes I agree with you a lot 😊 and safety is very important, especially fire and poisonous plants. This last section I prefer to wait 😅 you are funny 😄
As always you offer sound, no-nonsense advice in your own unique way! Thankyou... and your videos are so beautifully filmed... I don’t know how you do it but I’m grateful for your time and energy 💜
I’ve been slowly learning and been into working with witchcraft for years but I finally feel ready to start my path but I have zero idea what do or how to do anything. There’s so much information now. This video is great.
I like the whole “you experience your witchcraft yourself”. I think if you come to this naturally -like most do - you already have it in you to succeed. As I’ve gotten older I think it gets easier too. Life lessons and wisdom helps to become your true self. Just try what feels right and makes you happy.
This is an excellent video for anyone starting out! My thoughts: I think we should, as a community, consider retiring the term “baby witch.” We are capable people who are trying to tap into our inner power to manifest what we want. Maybe the term “beginner witch” would be more helpful for people to develop that mindset?
Thank you so much 💚 100% agree with the terminology. That is why I had put my thoughts on it in the description. I much prefer beginner or just simply witch - as we all are continuously learning. However, one look into Google and TH-cam SEO shows that this term is what beginners search for most 😄 so for the sake of this video being found by many beginner witches I caved hihi
@@Thewitchescookery I didn’t even notice that in the description. 🤦♀️ But it definitely wasn’t a shot at you. It’s everywhere and nobody really talks about why it’s not good language. I hope it’s something that goes away eventually! Good point about us constantly learning. ❤️
Oh don't worry! I was actually really happy you brought it up and that I am not the only one with this pet peeve hahah I first stumbled across it when I started looking into the English speaking witch community last year and I found it quite strange 😄 in German we just call a beginner witch a 'young / new witch'. I think eventually this term will disappear as people get more and more aware of the words and descriptors they use.
You are so refreshing! How real you are is so nice to see in a online world where “perfection “ is what people think they have to portray. Bravo! The tips are wonderful as well 😁
Ok, I love all of this, but I've got to tell this story somewhere (since you mentioned it). Not much on wands, but i love art, and was kind of thinking about carving one. Still unsure, I was outside with my kids in the woods and just thought, "Well, if I'm 'meant' to have a wand it'll show up." A second later i looked down and found the most perfect, already dried cedar stick. It was the perfect size and soft to carve. It even had a little notch where my thumb sat perfectly. So yeah, i picked it up. 😆
I’m so glad you said the part about how magic won’t work if you won’t get your hands dirty and do the work for something. I’m brand new to this and at the beginning stages of learning anything about it and was seriously wondering how effective doing a spell could be without doing anything else to help yourself. I was ready to dismiss it until you explained what it’s purpose is and that you still have to work for things. It sounds like it’s almost setting your mind to something and doing a ritual that gives that idea power inside of yourself to accomplish it. I like that, now I get it. You’re the first person to explain it in a way that gives me hope it can help me and for me to not feel silly doing it. It’s almost like self care, in a way. It’s taking care of yourself mentally to focus on a goal and believing you can do it. Very helpful. I get it now, thank you. I am so burnt out on religious maneuvering in the world for power and control over the population that I’m turning agnostic. I’m seeing them for who they really are and I don’t like the harm they do in the world to women or certain marginalized groups. I need a new path of my own making. One I have control over, and my own autonomy. This is looking better and better to me and I really appreciate your guidance on the subject. You just made me a believer. Because if it was always me and my own power that I have to believe in-that can only be a very good thing for me in every way possible. This has been the best and most helpful video that I have seen full of common sense and wisdom.
Our home is over 100 years old and while digging in the back garden, I found a very old mason jar that had been used as a spell jar. It was full of ancient rotten material... and we totally broke it with a shovel... then spent a ton of time picking it out of the ground to keep our kids away from it... so yeah. Don’t bury glass people.
Thank you so much for this! I had kind of dabbled in witchcraft in the past but I feel ready to commit to it properly now. I was put off because I have quite a severe chronic illness that leaves me bedbound - meaning there's a lot I can't do. Thankfully I'm most interested in divination, and arts and crafts magick. Which are things I can do from my bed! I am really enjoying your videos! They're fun and easy to understand and I think you have a really warm and welcoming vibe 🙂
I appreciate alot of what you said! Especially the part about not needing to go out and buy a bunch of witchy aesthetic stuff, cause I struggle with my inner capitalist, and I'll see everything someone else has on their alter or whatnot and I'll convince myself I can't be a real witch until I own all of this witchy stuff! Reminding myself that's not necessary is def a thing for me!
I'm so glad I found you. I'm learning so much. I started late in life, finally finding my true path in this confusing world. I have never been so at peace as I am now
I just realized my mom is a green witch, she uses moon circles and all, and is really good at healing people by touching them (Chiropractice?). When I first talked to her about Wicca and modern day witches, she told me to stop looking at it because I dont have the capacity to understand it and implied that it's "dangerous" On the other hand, my mom's favorite aunt is also a witch, with a room dedicated to practice and all. She's also my favorite
You are wonderful & so very grounded. To this old lady “witchcraft” is, above all, folk tradition. Practiced by individuals in their own way for centuries. I’m chuffed to see such practices returning and even the term “witch” safely embraced in some places. It gives hope that the power of religious misogyny may, ever so slowly, be waning.
That IS wonderful advice, thank you!!! ❤️❤️ I really thought that there IS lack of legitimacy when you don't go through some sort of initiation. In thé meantime, my inner self has been screaming at me not to bother with it. You just confirmed my gut feeling 😊. Thank you from a little village in Burgundy ❤
I really fell in love with your videos :) And I really needed to hear some of the things that you mentioned. I'm a beginner practitioner and I struggle with my path a lot. I used to identify as an atheist and not at all a spiritual person. Witchcraft slowly is helping me to look after myself better, connect to nature, and I absolutely love it. But it has a dark side for me as well. I find that I'm trying to match witches from TH-cam or Ticktok. One I'm not there yet, two it puts a lot of doubt into me. I constantly think "Am I doing this right?" You know, Am I doing protection bags right? And I doing cleansing right? Do I need to say things? Ect. I have at least 15 recommended books on my TBR list because I thought I could not try anything before reading them all. I'm just not sure of anything, because I also cannot sense any energies around me, so I never know if things are working or not. Sorry for the rant, I really needed to get this off my chest. I love your spider plant, I cannot wait to watch mine grow so big :) I had mine since it was a tiny sprout with only 4 tiny leaves :)
I am so happy to hear that! 💚 I am actually an atheist / agnostic witch too - so I always say I am semi-spiritual 😄 but yes, totally agree that witchcraft is such a valuable tool for self-care and connection with the natural world 💚 to be honest, in my opinion, there is no right or wrong in witchcraft when it comes to any practice. I think everyone has to find their own way and just follow what feels right for them. I do believe witchcraft mainly happens in your head, feelings and imagination and is not necessarily something that you feel from 'outside' ☺️ therefor (at least for me), you can't really compare two witches as everybody will know what works for them best eventually. As for 'feeling energy' - I would try grounding / visualization exercises or suggestive meditation that revolve around energy work ☺️
This is my favourite video of yours so far Bex, hands down, no question, absolutely. This is life advice at the highest level. Have you thought of doing podcasts?
Ich finde deinen Kanal echt megaaaa🥰 & finde dein Englisch echt top😅 War ein bisschen stolz, dass ich aus deinem Englisch raus hören konnte das du auch deutsch bist haha 😊
Ha I'm so proud of myself for being able to read most of this. I've been learning German so i get excited when i can read something. This is such a happy bonus to this already wonderful channel.
@@Thewitchescookery Dein deutscher Akzent macht dich noch charmanter als ohnehin schon. 💚 (Und danke das du dich bei meinen Kommentar vorhin an mich erinnert hast, und woher ich komme. 😊) You are a very wonderful and wise witch! Can't wait for your next videos! 😉
I have made most of my Witchy objects. Those that are beyond my skills I have purchased or the occasional rare gifted item to treasure . Go to a craft store , you'll find most anything needed or wanted there. I spend a small fortune at my local craft store mostly on candle making stuff. I like to make my own so I can add herbs and stones into the liquid wax and let it cool that way.
Oh thank you so much!! I saw you commented before but when I clicked on the notification the comment was gone as I think TH-cam classified it as spam 🙄 just wanted to let you know that I saw it and will be checking out your video tonight ☺️💚
@@ThewitchescookeryYou are very Welcome!! Oh that is strange thank you for letting me know. Thank you for checking out my video later tonight! Blessed be!🍃🌿💚🌿🍃
Love these tips! Any suggestions for baby witches practicing in the closet? Waiting for others to go to bed for moon rituals for example does not necessarily put me in the right headspace 😆. I’m just frustrated and going outside is not an option either, 😔 . You are a blessing and thank you. Adore your content.
Oh I can imagine how hard it must be to practice in secret! But it is not impossible ☺️ I did make a video on that a while ago, I think it is called being a witch in secret or something similar
You mentioned several times Chaos Magick - can you make a video about the topic? Or did you already make one, that I am not aware of? Thank you - great video, love what you do here on TH-cam! Blessings
You are so AWESOME! So much Good and Fun information here. Thank you for all you do for all of us! You are Truly an Inspiration to Everyone who watches you!
Bekommst gleich ein Like drei Sekunden drin. Einfach weil ich total gerne mithöre. Deine Videos helfen total. Habe so viel mehr gelernt als aus zig Büchern. Viele Grüße aus England 💚
I just found you and I am a new witch and this helped so much cause I've been reading and studying for a good few years. My issue was trying to figure out where to start my journey on witchcraft but this made so much more sense thank you for making this video it helps soo much 💜
Well done - the mundane as you say is action in the third dimension - so if you want to make it show up HERE in the 3-D on Earth than you better take some physical action or your triangle won't manifest it:))!!
Love your channel as a former Catholic I appreciate your personalized approach. I am researching my family history and ancestry linking me to Scandinavia and England &Northwestern Europe. I would love to explore and incorporate elements according to my roots. I look forward to more of your content and thank you for the great tips.-Mindy
Thank you for your words of encouragement 🙏. Yes, I agree, so much information can leave a beginner overwhelmed. I'm entering my sixth month and loving every minute. Thank you for your inspiration 🙏 Blessed be. 🙌
Your channel is wonderful! Can you please do a video about casting circles?! Is it necessary? Why do we do it, how elaborate or simple they be etc.. I want to start doing magic but want to be protected before I start. I’m so confused on when and how to cast a circle. Thank You!!!
Thank you so much! Personally I never cast circles (or any kind of protection for that matter) and in my experience / to my knowledge it is mainly done in the Wiccan tradition but I will put it on my to-film list to do a video on different ideas for protection 🙂
Brilliant video, really enjoyed it. I don’t use moon water much at all, haven’t found a proper use for it beyond my cleansing spray. But it’s so useful for that, so I keep making it. 😂
I am so happy to hear that ☺️💚 I do really like the idea of moon water and I do actually really enjoy making magic cleaner - but alas I have a brain like a sieve, so I would definitely forget that I have water bottles sitting outside 😄
Hello! I know this video has been out a while but I had to comment. I have been on "a path", not sure what path exactly, since I was 12. I am now a crone I guess. Old, elderly, gets a senior discount, etc. 😁 I am not sure what I do is called exactly. I consider myself a sipper. A sip of candles, a sip of tarot, etc. I clicked here to see your viewpoints. Very enjoyable to watch 💙 I have studied for decades and it never gets stale or boring. I look forward to watching your other videos! 🐲😁
I totally agree with mundane with magick is important. But we also have to remember when we talk about it that we might not be being mindful of disabled people like “if you’re not hustling, if you’re not trying to get a job”. Many disabled people can’t work, after all.
Don’t want to be preachy, just it’s a sticky topic for me as a disabled witch- for a sec I wondered whether I shouldn’t bother doing money spells, ya know?
Absolutely agree - we always have to see everything in relation to our abilities and restrictions - this was just one example that mundane and magick have to match. So if someone is unable to work in a classic sense of the word (due to disability or maybe some sort of mental health struggles), there are other ways to combine magick and mundane to make a money charm work ☺️ For example by filling out all the paperwork to collect unemployment / government aid / etc. So definitely bother with the money spells ☺️💪💪 I think they can be a great aid and motivator!
I love you soo much!!!You are so down to Earth and ha e great sense of humour and very simple accessible tips and advice for craft.I have been laughing all throughout this video,well done ,Espoo calling out all snobs on the topic.Keep doing great things ❤️

Im semi new semi not to this art and spiritual journey and honestly i noticed I struggle more with my mental health when i don’t practice so im trying to get more in touch with everything one for personal beliefs but two to help with my mental well being ❤ thank you
Thank you you really do explain things and make everything feel and be ok and all roads are ok so long as it's ok for you instead of thinking if your doing things right thank you
They are so dreamy - it is by Nicolette Ceccoli! I have the link underneath the video (when you click on 'my favourite witchy things') - there is also a similar oracle deck linked there by a German author 😍
Hi there! I love your down to earth videos. I do have one request, could you use more neutral music set at a lower volume? I am hard of hearing and I have trouble hearing human voice over other sounds. I would use the TH-cam captions but they're actually awful example saying someone said "turtle" but they actually said "total“
"Is that an English thing?.... IT IS!" I love your videos! Super informative, and funny. I love the casual, one on one, feel in the videos. Keep up the amazing work.
Ah, the all "the most common is the anglo-cetlic witchcraft" and wicca thing is something that don't really speak to me at all! Today I read a preview of a book that might be translated as "The Slavic Witch" and it was pointing out this too - you could have similar beliefs/events in various places, so why do I need to stick to wicca in my witchcraft, if I'm not really tied with it by family roots or anything? And since I'm really intrested in my heritage I guess I would rather stick to slavic beliefs then 😊
Absolutely agree with you 😊 personally I do austro-bavarian folk witchcraft as this is my culture. But a lot of people don't seem to be aware that the mainstream witchcraft they read about online is so heavily influenced by the anglo-celtic and Wiccan teachings. Which is really sad I think, because a lot of folks don't even realize how much tradition and witchcrfat there is to discover in their own culture and roots ☺️
I needed to see this video. You said so many things that resonate with me, my life, and my current situation. I hope you have a wonderful day. Blessed be.
Hey there!!! Ur Channel is really helping me learn about witchcraft- im a baby witch and i have a question what do u do when u feel nothing.for some reason i feel very attracted to witchcraft especially something to do with nature- and i feel so comfortable around nature - but when i did protection spell i felt nothing what do i do also!! Is Washing ur floor with salt can protect me from bad energy, or people who are with negative energy?
I definitely think I found your channel for a purpose. I'm a spiritual atheist and I always practice out of intuition. I like to have some inspiration but I find certain rules to how you should do witchcraft highly irritating Im so glad I found your channel! I'm going to binge watch all of your videos now.😂😍
Do you think you could do a video on Brujería (i’m trying to learn about witchcraft from Latin America, since i’m Puerto Rican and Mexican), i would like to learn about it more, but i haven’t been able to find many available sources. I’ve heard it’s a closed practice but no one elaborates on that, does it have to be taught to you by a blood-relative? Or is simply being from the region/having ancestors from there or who practiced it but didn’t teach you enough? Also if anyone knows about witchcraft originating specifically from Puerto Rico would you mind telling me about it?
Actual practice!! As a teacher, I am more focused on the learning than the DOING. Gotta change that. How do you get different camera angles, like close ups, if you’re filming alone?? I’m very new to filming.
It is so easy to get swept up in the theory, but I always found learning my doing to stick better 😄 it is all filmed from one angle, I just zoom in and out with my editing program ☺️
Where did u get your flower poster ?!?!?! I love it I'm new on this channel, but so far [ 3-4 video in] i relate too all your video as a green witch myself !!! 🌿🌿
U r awesome, u made my day! Tank u so much forr being & posting this original video. After all ur words like no rules and use ur own intuition for starting witchcraft, all i believe and all i feel, all those witch powers...just became more free. IFEEL MORE FREE than i was before saw this video! THANKS THANKS THANKS once again! Sending good wishes and love for U ;)
Baby Witch Tip - Find something simple that really interests you and start there. Candle Magic, Tarot, Growing Herbs or things that don't take up a lot of time or money. Simple things will give you great results if you put true intention in them. Also, HAVE FUN!!!
Definitely an awesome tip! 💚

this confuses me, i didn’t know what the word “mundane” meant so i googled it and the definition was “dull, uninterested, non spiritual, of this earth”
I'm a starter witch but I'm male, and 45 years old. I sometimes feel like I have no business being a witch due to gender and age. It feels like witches are only young, female and beautiful like you, at least from what I see online. But I'll continue to do what feels right for me. Great video! I learned about you through Alwyn Oak and her forest journeys and DIY lol! I am now a subscriber of yours as well.
You most definitely have a place in the witchcraft community - regardless of age and gender. There are many people like you out there (even if they might not present themselves online) ☺️❤️ welcome to the channel and I do hope you find many videos you enjoy!
If you do magic then you’re a witch, period 😃😄
I think it’s cool that you found something knew that you like. Not many people do that at your age 😁
Finding yourself at any age is the best thing ever, it feels good do it , the older the wiser!
I'm also 45 and just started to get into witchcraft. I been interested since I was a teenager but never did anything. Now I am. You are never too old start something. Men can be witches there called warlocks. 😊
@@Thewitchescookery ❤
I'm 69 years old and have to live with my elderly parents that are devoted "christians". So I have my own bedroom. I started my first altar without instructions. I am not allowed to be a witch so I do it in secret. I was out in their backyard that has a lot of trees and a brook. I went across the bridge and something drew my attention to my feet. There was about 4 very large acorns. First thing I thought was they were a gift from Mother Earth and I thanked her. I the found a few oak leaves that were attached to a little twig. I found other things. I decided I would put them on my chester drawers next to my TV that I don't watch. It has a black screen. I had bought a ghost that sings trick or treat and flashes different colors. I put that up there too. I had made and painted a piece of foam of a pumpkin and put it behind the ghost. To me that is a way to acknowledge the fall and Halloween. Then I asked my mother if I could buy a Jack-o-Lantern and put it on the front porch. She said yes. I almost passed out from holding my breath thinking she was going to give me a lecture on witchcraft being evil. The pumpkin is ceramic. Then I bought a couple of pomegranates and a real small pumpkin for making a pumpkin latte. All these things are my altar. And me crossing my fingers. So, in my situation I have to put my altar in my bedroom. My mother thinks I'm just decorating for fall. I just don't know what to do other than look at it and enjoy the season.
I'm curious, how are you doing 2 years later?
Are you not a little mature to be talking about being ruled by your parents!OWN IT!
You're such a helpful, down to earth, practical person. You've really made witchcraft accessible to me, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that!
💕 I am so, so happy to read this and that witchcraft became accessible to you ☺️ thank you for your kind words
Same here...baby here so I'm getting a lot of knowledge from her...I do feel my own path as an herbalist...I'm green all the way an just som good tips here n there will not hurt anyone 😎🤗🤗🤗 an yes yesssss hav fun!!!
You are realy beautiful 💗
I love that you mentioned "you can go outside and find a stick that you like and decide it's your wand" because I literally walked past a stick one day and felt suuuuuper drawn to it for some reason, it had never happened before, so I picked it up and carried it with me all day then brought it home and wondered if I could use it as a wand lmao
That first tip is pure gold! I'm the type to overprepare for everything, and my witchy practice is no different. So much reading, so little actual ✨ practice ✨... thanks for this reminder to jump in and actually do stuff.
Also, I'm relatively new to your community so I just feel the need to say again that I love your videos! A perfect blend of information + aesthetics + humour + realness. Thank you for all the work you put into your content!
I am so happy this served you as a good reminder ☺️ it is so easy to get overwhelmed with all the information to forget the actual practice! Also: thanks so, so much for your sweet words - you are so kind 💕
I agree! I've had an interest in witchcraft for a while and have just recently made an effort to get into it all, and I can't help but feel like I need to know everything before attempting a spell- I also feel like I need to spend money on materials before beginning, but I'm a broke minor who can't do so yet. That tip helps, but I'll have to figure out how to work around my shortcomings.
I do the same thing. Can you tell me where you started. Anything in particular?
I love your approach. When I first took up the craft as a 14yo baby, I was so put off by the dogma and people I met in Wiccan AOL chats (lol I’m old) and I never really had anyone to differentiate WITCH from WICCAN. I’ve been living a green witch’s life for decades afraid to use the word because I thought it had to be attached to well... basically another church/religion full of rules, creepy men (my experience), and stuff I didn’t like/believe.
I’m a little bummed I let those mean adults in the 90s run me away from a term I’ve always had in my heart. ✨💜 Thanks for all you do!
Aaaand at 18:00 you talk about exactly this!
I am so sorry to hear that this happened to you! I can totally understand it though - when I started out (in the early 2000s) the online community was mainly veeeery traditional Wicca with a lot of unpleasant gatekeeper's and it wasn't as open-minded and 'you do you' as it is today. But so happy you are back on your personal path and finding your way 💚🌼☺️
@@Thewitchescookery yes exactly, like I didn’t escape Catholicism just to have some other frowning people tell me how to live. 😅
I have found doing daily "mundane" work builds the magic throughout the week. By the weekend, when I actually have time to focus on my practice for longer periods of time, I feel as if my magical energies have increased. If I don't do anything during the week I find the energies are harder to build up, as if I have lost touch. My daughter has also commented on the difference, "the house doesn't feel as magical mom".
I find it so cool that your daughter can pick up on that! 💚 Very interesting way to work your magic too - and to fill your house with constant good energies ☺️🌷
Ohh, you have a real baby witch!! She'll go far I think if she can feel it already.
@@TheGothicMother She moves energy easily for her age. She seems to be more on the healing side of things. We have weekly/daily lessons on herbs and the elements around us. We will be out for a walk and I will ask what does the wind tell you, can you smell the rain coming? My mother taught me now I teach her.
I’ve been a witch for 6 months now and this is by far the best and most real ‘tips for baby witches’ type video I’ve seen. And I have seen a lot of them. I’m a new sub now! You have such a realistic and refreshing viewpoint and I really appreciate your common sense, acceptance and honesty. You also make me laugh! Thank you and as a newer green witch I’m psyched to dive into all of your existing videos and see future ones soon!
I have been so confused for so long about many things and se cleared things up for me.
“Tiny little demon kids”... haha.... exactly what I call them and why my altar is in my room. XD
Ahahah same! Love my tiny little demon but everything has to be kept out of reach 🤣
Oh! You responded! How lovely! Yes! And even then, my two year old finds his way in there and has broken so many crystals. Lol. I keep dangerous things up high. Lol. My other two LOVE to learn and participate but I let it be their choice always and never anything dangerous. :). Mostly just cleansing and pulling cards and making stuff. I love your videos. Thank you for being a blessing to the community.
I do always try to respond (as long as the demon lets me hihi) 😄 oh I feel you! Mine doesn't break things but he has taken a liking to my rune stones and loves to stuff them behind the couch pillows 🙄 so cool that your older kids are so interested! 💚
Same here!
Absolutely same 🤣
I've always had an interest in witchcraft but I haven't started practicing. I'm so glad I found your channel. It's inspiring me again! Thanks for all your videos :)
I have known I was a witch for years, but NEVER tried anything because of my faith. BUT YOU have shown me different. THANK YOU!!❤
I want to thank you for all you do and your honesty. I am born onto witchcraft. My first tarot deck was when I was about 9yrs old. My grandmother had her alter as do I in my meditation room. I consider myself a healing and cookery witch. I came to earth this life to serve and heal. Best to you and your family.
That is a wonderful purpose to be alive 💚 thank you for sharing your story ☺️ and many blessings to you and your loved ones
I love the gentleness of Wicca it’s so peaceful but I’m not for rules so I like the idea of spiritual beliefs separate from practicing witchcraft so you can believe whatever you want or not believe anything at all
Also the connection with the natural world and of course the holidays are lovely 😊 but just like you, I am non for rules either hihi and having spiritual freedom does feel too good 💚
I particularly like the don’t fall for a scam! People ask me all the time to be their mentor and I never agree as you need to be with someone, and actually want to help them personally - well that I what I think.
I love this. I have much the same thinking. Magic for me is often best when kept simple. I started my path with Wicca, but looking back at my childhood, I was walking a Fae way long before that. I can remember at 5 feeling very connected to nature and all things in it. Now at 50 I'm ready to settle into my Crone stage and my mystical and elemental magical side. I love doing work with the elements associated with the Zodiac. I think what beginner witches need to know is that witchcraft is a journey that can evolve over time and will probably take them to interesting places. I may have started Wiccan and with Moon worship, but my journey had me including Toaism, Norse and Christian in my practices. This has helped me keep things balanced throughout the changes in my life. I love that the grimoire I use most is my main cookbook which has not only my favourite recipes, but some handed down from my mom.
I am in love with your recording set up. The bricks and plants are all beautiful and have such a peaceful balance along side the warm lighting 💙
Thank you! I'm still pretty new and I'm trying to filter all the massive amounts of information to make sure I'm trying to do everything correctly and educating myself enough. I've watched many of these advice videos and I have to say all your advice is so refreshing. Thank you so much for this video!
So happy to hear you found it refreshing 🥰 and it can be soooo overwhelming in the beginning with all the flood of information (and misinformation) out there!
I started past Beltane, start at a later age than many witches and the advantage is life experience. Like that, there is already this “I do what feels right”-attitude. So that also means I am not obliging anything to myself and so I am a witch but without defining myself as such or such witch. So yes I agree with you a lot 😊 and safety is very important, especially fire and poisonous plants. This last section I prefer to wait 😅 you are funny 😄
As always you offer sound, no-nonsense advice in your own unique way! Thankyou... and your videos are so beautifully filmed... I don’t know how you do it but I’m grateful for your time and energy 💜
Thank you so much for this lovely comment 🌷💚 so happy you enjoy the videos!
I’ve been slowly learning and been into working with witchcraft for years but I finally feel ready to start my path but I have zero idea what do or how to do anything. There’s so much information now. This video is great.
💚💚💚
You totally nailed it by saying " do what you feel is right. "
Thanks 💕 I feel that is my main mantra in witchcraft hihi
I like the whole “you experience your witchcraft yourself”. I think if you come to this naturally -like most do - you already have it in you to succeed. As I’ve gotten older I think it gets easier too. Life lessons and wisdom helps to become your true self. Just try what feels right and makes you happy.
This is an excellent video for anyone starting out!
My thoughts: I think we should, as a community, consider retiring the term “baby witch.” We are capable people who are trying to tap into our inner power to manifest what we want. Maybe the term “beginner witch” would be more helpful for people to develop that mindset?
Thank you so much 💚 100% agree with the terminology. That is why I had put my thoughts on it in the description. I much prefer beginner or just simply witch - as we all are continuously learning. However, one look into Google and TH-cam SEO shows that this term is what beginners search for most 😄 so for the sake of this video being found by many beginner witches I caved hihi
@@Thewitchescookery I didn’t even notice that in the description. 🤦♀️ But it definitely wasn’t a shot at you. It’s everywhere and nobody really talks about why it’s not good language. I hope it’s something that goes away eventually! Good point about us constantly learning. ❤️
Oh don't worry! I was actually really happy you brought it up and that I am not the only one with this pet peeve hahah I first stumbled across it when I started looking into the English speaking witch community last year and I found it quite strange 😄 in German we just call a beginner witch a 'young / new witch'. I think eventually this term will disappear as people get more and more aware of the words and descriptors they use.
Love this lady so much. She ALWAYS makes me laugh and leaves me feeling good about life.
💕 you are so sweet to leave this lovely comment - thank you and have a wonderful day ☺️🌼
You are so refreshing! How real you are is so nice to see in a online world where “perfection “ is what people think they have to portray. Bravo! The tips are wonderful as well 😁
Thanks so much for taking the time and leaving such a sweet comment ☺️ and glad you enjoyed the tips! Have a magical day 🌷
Ok, I love all of this, but I've got to tell this story somewhere (since you mentioned it). Not much on wands, but i love art, and was kind of thinking about carving one. Still unsure, I was outside with my kids in the woods and just thought, "Well, if I'm 'meant' to have a wand it'll show up." A second later i looked down and found the most perfect, already dried cedar stick. It was the perfect size and soft to carve. It even had a little notch where my thumb sat perfectly. So yeah, i picked it up. 😆
I’m so glad you said the part about how magic won’t work if you won’t get your hands dirty and do the work for something. I’m brand new to this and at the beginning stages of learning anything about it and was seriously wondering how effective doing a spell could be without doing anything else to help yourself. I was ready to dismiss it until you explained what it’s purpose is and that you still have to work for things. It sounds like it’s almost setting your mind to something and doing a ritual that gives that idea power inside of yourself to accomplish it. I like that, now I get it. You’re the first person to explain it in a way that gives me hope it can help me and for me to not feel silly doing it. It’s almost like self care, in a way. It’s taking care of yourself mentally to focus on a goal and believing you can do it. Very helpful. I get it now, thank you. I am so burnt out on religious maneuvering in the world for power and control over the population that I’m turning agnostic. I’m seeing them for who they really are and I don’t like the harm they do in the world to women or certain marginalized groups. I need a new path of my own making. One I have control over, and my own autonomy. This is looking better and better to me and I really appreciate your guidance on the subject. You just made me a believer. Because if it was always me and my own power that I have to believe in-that can only be a very good thing for me in every way possible. This has been the best and most helpful video that I have seen full of common sense and wisdom.
Our home is over 100 years old and while digging in the back garden, I found a very old mason jar that had been used as a spell jar. It was full of ancient rotten material... and we totally broke it with a shovel... then spent a ton of time picking it out of the ground to keep our kids away from it... so yeah. Don’t bury glass people.
wow that sounds fascinating (and gross hihi)! Yes, definitely don't burry glass bottles. And so glad your kids didn't get into it! 🌼💚
Thank you so much for this! I had kind of dabbled in witchcraft in the past but I feel ready to commit to it properly now. I was put off because I have quite a severe chronic illness that leaves me bedbound - meaning there's a lot I can't do. Thankfully I'm most interested in divination, and arts and crafts magick. Which are things I can do from my bed! I am really enjoying your videos! They're fun and easy to understand and I think you have a really warm and welcoming vibe 🙂
New favorite witchcraft channel 💕 So calming, accessible, and inspiring ✨
💚☺️ ohhh thank you! I feel very honoured. So happy you enjoy the videos
I stumbled upon your page after casting a guidance spell and I'm so happy I found you. You are like the witch mom I've always wanted.
I appreciate alot of what you said! Especially the part about not needing to go out and buy a bunch of witchy aesthetic stuff, cause I struggle with my inner capitalist, and I'll see everything someone else has on their alter or whatnot and I'll convince myself I can't be a real witch until I own all of this witchy stuff! Reminding myself that's not necessary is def a thing for me!
I'm so glad I found you. I'm learning so much. I started late in life, finally finding my true path in this confusing world. I have never been so at peace as I am now
I just realized my mom is a green witch, she uses moon circles and all, and is really good at healing people by touching them (Chiropractice?). When I first talked to her about Wicca and modern day witches, she told me to stop looking at it because I dont have the capacity to understand it and implied that it's "dangerous"
On the other hand, my mom's favorite aunt is also a witch, with a room dedicated to practice and all. She's also my favorite
You are wonderful & so very grounded. To this old lady “witchcraft” is, above all, folk tradition. Practiced by individuals in their own way for centuries. I’m chuffed to see such practices returning and even the term “witch” safely embraced in some places. It gives hope that the power of religious misogyny may, ever so slowly, be waning.
That IS wonderful advice, thank you!!! ❤️❤️ I really thought that there IS lack of legitimacy when you don't go through some sort of initiation. In thé meantime, my inner self has been screaming at me not to bother with it. You just confirmed my gut feeling 😊. Thank you from a little village in Burgundy ❤
I really fell in love with your videos :) And I really needed to hear some of the things that you mentioned. I'm a beginner practitioner and I struggle with my path a lot. I used to identify as an atheist and not at all a spiritual person. Witchcraft slowly is helping me to look after myself better, connect to nature, and I absolutely love it. But it has a dark side for me as well. I find that I'm trying to match witches from TH-cam or Ticktok. One I'm not there yet, two it puts a lot of doubt into me. I constantly think "Am I doing this right?" You know, Am I doing protection bags right? And I doing cleansing right? Do I need to say things? Ect. I have at least 15 recommended books on my TBR list because I thought I could not try anything before reading them all. I'm just not sure of anything, because I also cannot sense any energies around me, so I never know if things are working or not. Sorry for the rant, I really needed to get this off my chest. I love your spider plant, I cannot wait to watch mine grow so big :) I had mine since it was a tiny sprout with only 4 tiny leaves :)
I am so happy to hear that! 💚 I am actually an atheist / agnostic witch too - so I always say I am semi-spiritual 😄 but yes, totally agree that witchcraft is such a valuable tool for self-care and connection with the natural world 💚 to be honest, in my opinion, there is no right or wrong in witchcraft when it comes to any practice. I think everyone has to find their own way and just follow what feels right for them. I do believe witchcraft mainly happens in your head, feelings and imagination and is not necessarily something that you feel from 'outside' ☺️ therefor (at least for me), you can't really compare two witches as everybody will know what works for them best eventually. As for 'feeling energy' - I would try grounding / visualization exercises or suggestive meditation that revolve around energy work ☺️
This is my favourite video of yours so far Bex, hands down, no question, absolutely. This is life advice at the highest level. Have you thought of doing podcasts?
💚☺️ you are awesome as always!! I actually do have a sexy little podcast but it isn't witchcraft / cooking related hihi
Thank you so much! I was so nervous about doing something wrong and accidentally doing something bad instead of good, and you helped so much
Ich finde deinen Kanal echt megaaaa🥰 & finde dein Englisch echt top😅 War ein bisschen stolz, dass ich aus deinem Englisch raus hören konnte das du auch deutsch bist haha 😊
Oooooh vielen lieben Dank!! 💚 Und ja hihi dee Deutsche Akzent ist seeehr anhänglich - ich werd ihn einfach nicht los 😄
Ha I'm so proud of myself for being able to read most of this. I've been learning German so i get excited when i can read something. This is such a happy bonus to this already wonderful channel.
Yaih hahah glad you enjoy a little German on the side 😄💚
@@Thewitchescookery Dein deutscher Akzent macht dich noch charmanter als ohnehin schon. 💚 (Und danke das du dich bei meinen Kommentar vorhin an mich erinnert hast, und woher ich komme. 😊) You are a very wonderful and wise witch! Can't wait for your next videos! 😉
I have made most of my Witchy objects. Those that are beyond my skills I have purchased or the occasional rare gifted item to treasure . Go to a craft store , you'll find most anything needed or wanted there. I spend a small fortune at my local craft store mostly on candle making stuff. I like to make my own so I can add herbs and stones into the liquid wax and let it cool that way.
I love when you post! You are so happy and full of life! Calming! Blessed be!🍃🌿💚🌿🍃
Oh thank you so much!! I saw you commented before but when I clicked on the notification the comment was gone as I think TH-cam classified it as spam 🙄 just wanted to let you know that I saw it and will be checking out your video tonight ☺️💚
@@ThewitchescookeryYou are very Welcome!! Oh that is strange thank you for letting me know. Thank you for checking out my video later tonight! Blessed be!🍃🌿💚🌿🍃
Love these tips! Any suggestions for baby witches practicing in the closet? Waiting for others to go to bed for moon rituals for example does not necessarily put me in the right headspace 😆. I’m just frustrated and going outside is not an option either, 😔 . You are a blessing and thank you. Adore your content.
Oh I can imagine how hard it must be to practice in secret! But it is not impossible ☺️ I did make a video on that a while ago, I think it is called being a witch in secret or something similar
@@Thewitchescookery 🙏, you’re the best! I’ll find it 😘
You mentioned several times Chaos Magick - can you make a video about the topic? Or did you already make one, that I am not aware of? Thank you - great video, love what you do here on TH-cam! Blessings
I haven't made one yet but I will definitely put it on my to-film-list! Thanks for the inspiration ☺️

I just found you and I am a new witch and this helped so much cause I've been reading and studying for a good few years. My issue was trying to figure out where to start my journey on witchcraft but this made so much more sense thank you for making this video it helps soo much 💜
Well done - the mundane as you say is action in the third dimension - so if you want to make it show up HERE in the 3-D on Earth than you better take some physical action or your triangle won't manifest it:))!!
7:06 I am grateful for this, as I am trying to carve my own path and develop my own methods regarding magic in general.
If you do want to try your first spell I recommend doing a protection spell!
Love your channel as a former Catholic I appreciate your personalized approach. I am researching my family history and ancestry linking me to Scandinavia and England &Northwestern Europe. I would love to explore and incorporate elements according to my roots.
I look forward to more of your content and thank you for the great tips.-Mindy

I'm not a baby witch but I still really enjoyed this video🥰
I am so glad to hear that ❤️
Your channel is wonderful! Can you please do a video about casting circles?! Is it necessary? Why do we do it, how elaborate or simple they be etc.. I want to start doing magic but want to be protected before I start. I’m so confused on when and how to cast a circle. Thank You!!!
Thank you so much! Personally I never cast circles (or any kind of protection for that matter) and in my experience / to my knowledge it is mainly done in the Wiccan tradition but I will put it on my to-film list to do a video on different ideas for protection 🙂
@@Thewitchescookery thank you for answering back! That’s good to know! I’m not Wiccan so that makes me feel better to know it’s not a necessity!
You’re adorable…. It resonates with me to not beat myself up when I “feel” I’m doing this right. It’s what works for me. Love it
Love...down to earth advice and freeing... great suggestions
❤️ thank you, lovely!
Brilliant video, really enjoyed it. I don’t use moon water much at all, haven’t found a proper use for it beyond my cleansing spray. But it’s so useful for that, so I keep making it. 😂
I am so happy to hear that ☺️💚 I do really like the idea of moon water and I do actually really enjoy making magic cleaner - but alas I have a brain like a sieve, so I would definitely forget that I have water bottles sitting outside 😄
@@Thewitchescookery I honestly have to set an alarm. 😂
Hahaha I feel you! I have alarms for everything 🤣
Hello! I know this video has been out a while but I had to comment. I have been on "a path", not sure what path exactly, since I was 12. I am now a crone I guess. Old, elderly, gets a senior discount, etc. 😁 I am not sure what I do is called exactly. I consider myself a sipper. A sip of candles, a sip of tarot, etc. I clicked here to see your viewpoints. Very enjoyable to watch 💙 I have studied for decades and it never gets stale or boring. I look forward to watching your other videos! 🐲😁
❤Thank you for all your help 💜 now i can move forward knowing that i don't need to know everything! 🧡 And not be afraid of making mistakes! 💙
Beginner witch here and this has become my favorite channel. Thanks for gifting us with your knowledge and suggestions.❤
That's such a sweet comment! Thanks so much 🧡🦋 glad you enjoy the content
I totally agree with mundane with magick is important. But we also have to remember when we talk about it that we might not be being mindful of disabled people like “if you’re not hustling, if you’re not trying to get a job”. Many disabled people can’t work, after all.
Don’t want to be preachy, just it’s a sticky topic for me as a disabled witch- for a sec I wondered whether I shouldn’t bother doing money spells, ya know?
Absolutely agree - we always have to see everything in relation to our abilities and restrictions - this was just one example that mundane and magick have to match. So if someone is unable to work in a classic sense of the word (due to disability or maybe some sort of mental health struggles), there are other ways to combine magick and mundane to make a money charm work ☺️ For example by filling out all the paperwork to collect unemployment / government aid / etc. So definitely bother with the money spells ☺️💪💪 I think they can be a great aid and motivator!
I love you soo much!!!You are so down to Earth and ha e great sense of humour and very simple accessible tips and advice for craft.I have been laughing all throughout this video,well done ,Espoo calling out all snobs on the topic.Keep doing great things ❤️

Hi there! I love your down to earth videos. I do have one request, could you use more neutral music set at a lower volume? I am hard of hearing and I have trouble hearing human voice over other sounds. I would use the TH-cam captions but they're actually awful example saying someone said "turtle" but they actually said "total“
"Is that an English thing?.... IT IS!" I love your videos! Super informative, and funny. I love the casual, one on one, feel in the videos. Keep up the amazing work.
This video is giving me, among other things, a renewed appreciation for how I've decorated my tiny living space... :)
The one about the rules is so true and hearing you say it made me really good about not following everything i hear. Thanks!!
Ah, the all "the most common is the anglo-cetlic witchcraft" and wicca thing is something that don't really speak to me at all! Today I read a preview of a book that might be translated as "The Slavic Witch" and it was pointing out this too - you could have similar beliefs/events in various places, so why do I need to stick to wicca in my witchcraft, if I'm not really tied with it by family roots or anything? And since I'm really intrested in my heritage I guess I would rather stick to slavic beliefs then 😊
Absolutely agree with you 😊 personally I do austro-bavarian folk witchcraft as this is my culture. But a lot of people don't seem to be aware that the mainstream witchcraft they read about online is so heavily influenced by the anglo-celtic and Wiccan teachings. Which is really sad I think, because a lot of folks don't even realize how much tradition and witchcrfat there is to discover in their own culture and roots ☺️
I've slowly began to get back into witchcraft so thank you so much
Loved this video as well. Do you have a video on candles by chance ?
Thanks so much, Mariah! I don't have a specific candle magick video yet but I will put it on my to-film-list ☺️
I needed to see this video. You said so many things that resonate with me, my life, and my current situation. I hope you have a wonderful day. Blessed be.
I really want to become a green witch, and your video was much better than many other websites that i read :D
Hey there!!! Ur Channel is really helping me learn about witchcraft- im a baby witch and i have a question what do u do when u feel nothing.for some reason i feel very attracted to witchcraft especially something to do with nature- and i feel so comfortable around nature - but when i did protection spell i felt nothing what do i do also!! Is Washing ur floor with salt can protect me from bad energy, or people who are with negative energy?
Watched several of your videos in the past week! Cant get enough, I f'ing luv u! Lol
"Tiny little demon kids" yes! Yes i did have those.
das video hat mir echt super geholfen um ohne Sorgen mit allem zu starten :) danke dir 💕
Freut mich sehr ❣️
I definitely think I found your channel for a purpose. I'm a spiritual atheist and I always practice out of intuition. I like to have some inspiration but I find certain rules to how you should do witchcraft highly irritating
Im so glad I found your channel!
I'm going to binge watch all of your videos now.😂😍
These tips are so great, and freeing! Thank you!!!
So happy to hear you think so ☺️🌼
Do you think you could do a video on Brujería (i’m trying to learn about witchcraft from Latin America, since i’m Puerto Rican and Mexican), i would like to learn about it more, but i haven’t been able to find many available sources.
I’ve heard it’s a closed practice but no one elaborates on that, does it have to be taught to you by a blood-relative? Or is simply being from the region/having ancestors from there or who practiced it but didn’t teach you enough?
Also if anyone knows about witchcraft originating specifically from Puerto Rico would you mind telling me about it?
Actual practice!! As a teacher, I am more focused on the learning than the DOING. Gotta change that. How do you get different camera angles, like close ups, if you’re filming alone?? I’m very new to filming.
It is so easy to get swept up in the theory, but I always found learning my doing to stick better 😄 it is all filmed from one angle, I just zoom in and out with my editing program ☺️
Where did u get your flower poster ?!?!?! I love it
I'm new on this channel, but so far [ 3-4 video in] i relate too all your video as a green witch myself !!! 🌿🌿
The poster is vintage poster art by Cavallini :) they have some really lovely things! And thaaaank you - I am so glad you enjoy the videos so far!
Very helpful! Sidenote, this is the first video I heard a mention of atheist witches and I appreciate it!
Great video that simplifies it all
Thanks so much - happy to hear you enjoyed it! 🙂
I really really love listening to you. So calming 😊😊
Thank you so much 😀 I usually hate my own voice after listening to it over and over while editing these videos hihi
