I LOVE to see you two together, there's something special between you two, a connection, a something that makes me smile everytime, something that makes me feel relax. Marshall is a really great guy, talented, strong you're lucky to have him as a friend as much as he's lucky to have you as a friend too. You two are inspiring, charming, powerful. Thank you you two for being two great souls and for both of your channel that inspires us everytime. Much love from France.
I completely agree! This video made me so much better, more relaxed, and most definitely inspired to continue my craft! Really hope you two decide to do more videos together ❤
Hello Marshall, that is a great idea, about "the nails" at a crossroads. I never thought of it that way. You're right the "telephone poles" are covered with thousands of nails.
What he's talking about in the beginning around 4:45 is called Subjective Synthesis, and it's the basis behind why grimoire magic works at all. The systems in those books are constructed according to the way the creators believed the world to work. The closer a person's Work is to the way they believe the world works, the more potent and effective it is.
Great convos, lots of validation for a self teaching new practitioner who has zero access to other witches in person. Appreciate both of you so much 💜🦄
Also back to making small grimoires it would be fun to just eventually have a library of magickal tomes and texts of all the knowledge you have amassed over the years, also you could have like a charmed moment just searching through mountains of books to find this one spell.
PLEASE, PLEASE DO A GRIMOIRE / BOOK OF SHADOWS SERIES!!! This is one of my absolute favorite topics and I can never find enough information/inspiration!
Both of you are wonderful to watch. I have watched this video SOO many times. I, too, have those journals that are "to pretty to mess up" and watching this video always inspires me so much to break into those pretty books and create that book of shadows/grimoire. You are both so creative and have made the most beautiful books! Big thank you to Marshall for sharing contents of his own book and I just love how much heart he has put into the creation of it. I can really tell you both adore your craft and it really is an inspiration to us all. Any time I feel creatively stuck, I watch this video and it all comes rushing back. Thank you both! Hopefully there will be more videos of you together in the future!
You guys have helped me so much during my witchcraft journey and I just wanted to say thank you I found the path that speaks to me and you have taught me so much you're the best Olivia 💚💚
I love the combination of energy's you both bring to the craft. I am always excited when I see a video with both of you. I've been witching since I was 12....some 36 years now. I had a BOS that was destroyed by some one when I was 27. I started a new one in 2013 and I then pulled it to pieces to create a junk journal style grimoire, so I love the content of this video and can not talk enough about the power of the style of these kind of grimoire's or BOS. The fact you can keep layering your practice as you grow is so powerful. There are some amazing junk journalist out there who make stunning books and teach us seasoned witches a thing or two 😉💫📖. Thank you for your amazing content. And for the sake of the Goddess more of this combo you two are a powerhouse 🙌🏻 Keep up the magic. ❤🕯💎🕊📖🦉🔮🧿🎨☕
Grimoires are so intimidating because I'm trying to make it perfect and aesthetic, but I love how the scrapbooking version allows for petitions to be like typed really nicely, or fixes pasted on top, or even (a fav idea in my head) to have annotations of how the spell went and what to do to make it better. Loved this talk and the petitions read aloud are so beautifully written!!
Another tip for coffin nails - If all you can get your hands on are nails that COULD be used on coffins but have not yet been, an alternative would be to keep a jar of graveyard dirt and let the nails soak in the dirt for certain period of time (use your own methodology to determine how long). Another method is to use graveyard dirt to grow certain herbs/flowers/plants (extra mojo in them that way too, but use discernment) and simply press the nails into the dirt being used, and retrieve them after a certain amount of time. Hope that was handy for some of you.
Awesome video! Love the concept of layering.😃❤️🦄 The way Marshall uses words is so beautiful and poetic! If he ever publishes a poem collection or something of that nature, I'd totally buy it. Might even be inspired to draw some illustrations. 🎨
I bought a standard composition book for a very specific working in progress. Basically it's all the things that normally go in a grimoire (spell ingredients, tarot, blasé) but also notes for the mundane stuff relevant to it (budgeting for the week, appointments, memos for daily activities). The magic isn't in the spell itself but the book. It works as long as I use it as a planner first and foremost, with magical notes in the margins I don't use the sky for spells much. Obviously major transits and lunar phases, if I have time, I will. But I craft my spells to work as long as they're near me (light and easy to carry, usually foot track dust or perfume oil) because I'm always moving around
This was hands down my favorite collab since Arabian Conjure...I love and adore both you and Marshall and I also just started a new BOS of my own and got some really great ideas thanks so much loved this video💖💖
The ability to improvise is a gift in my opinion and comes with age & practice. Fresh plant material is my preference as well. Loved this vid we always have something to learn and to stay reachable and teachable is a must for all practitioners. I am definitely subscribing now :)
Love you and Marshall sharing together. You have given such a rich collection of useful andcreative information. Love the nature based information and poetry offerings. I feel like I've drunk at the spring rain of blessings.
I'm obsessed with this video lol I love watching you two together. Your authentic friendship shines through and you compliment each other so much. I took away a LOT of inspiration from this. I'm an art witch and love junk journaling everything haha All of the other "crafty" tips to get creative with your craft was so helpful! Thank you both 🤗
Please do more videos with marshal. I love him so much! I love that he's so knowledgeable, creative, and clearly passionate about his craft. Its clear he's a natural teacher ❤
Both your grimoires and practices inspire me so so much right now, I've been stuck with my practice for month now and this video gives me so much motivation
I love it when my interests cross paths. Junk journaling is something I love to do. Watching this just gave me the idea of using my coffee dyed paper for petitions. I don't know why it never occurred to me before that the coffee would add an extra oomph!
As a Floridian, I always say if I hear Cicadas it’s going to be hot. Haven’t hear them lately so you can tell the wheel is turning. Listening to you too makes me want to go out to the swamp like I use too.
i just recently created a craft journal about me. What I believe, my craft, my thoughts. I event put in different routines that I like to do from all walks of life. It's something that I hope to pass down to my daughter when I'm at the end of my time so she would understand who I am. It's also to help me remember who I am as well or if my believes or routines change...again.
I Would love to hear more about how you use animal bones in your practice!! The mention of roadkill collecting is so interesting and I would love to hear your take on it!!
I love your channel so much. I have been in such a rut with my practice and been getting back into things!! I always come back to your channel when I need inspiration or re-learning some tips and tricks I've learned since following you for so long. Keep up the awesome work!!!❤️
I had to stop the video to comment on how educational and informative this video is. I'll have to watch it more than once because there is so much in it. Well done Olivia and Marshall. My only complaint is that the video has made me think about so many things my mind is swimming in ideas.
I totally love the collaborations with Marshall. He has such a great inner knowledge and so creative with how he incorporates things. Thank you for doing these and I want more! Lol
Looooveeeee how Marshall explained the cicadas! Moving from place to place forces me to adapt to the spirits of the new lands, and the first time I heard them, they gave me the chills! Soooo much wisdom!!!
Coming back and watching this after having devoured and LOVING Marshall's book is SO cool to see. Being able to read the stories that inform a lot of his anecdotes here was amazing!
31:05 i did a similar thing with a spell candle. It was meant for sleep and it works fine but I also use it as like an environment energy shifter type thing. I just light it when I need up light upliftingness. Its like a warm energetic hug, its great for anti anxiety
Listening to you two bounce ideas & experiences with each other is so amazing, informative & inspiring. Cicadas are one of my favorite songs of summer. It's a connection sound for me. Marshall, your puppies are ADORABLE. Love y'all's energy together!!!
Thank you both so much for this wonderful video. I love all of your videos Olivia, you capture such a beautiful view of the world, and it always brightens my spirit. Marshall, the way you have crafted your praxis (new word for me, love the meaning!) is just inspiring, and I love how openly you discuss how you created it around your land and your beliefs, with little bits taken from here and there. This whole video really spoke to me and I feel like I've had one of those veil lifting moments where suddenly I can see more. Plus the inspiration for the grimoire/junk journal has been awesome, I have been feeling a little stuck with mine, and this has just filled up my creativity bank. I'm on my second watch through, I'm making inks from flowers and herbs in my garden, I'm sticking things in my journal to cover over bits I didn't like and using all of the washi tape I've collected over time. I'm having SO much fun. Love to you both ✨💚
so cool, the crossroads nails. I have a photo in my instagram of a telephone pole with tons of nails and staples in it - it's spellwork, really. people are putting up those signs with hopes that what is lost will be found or that someone will contact them to do a job. love that.
This conversation was so wonderful! I loved how you always came back to point of what magic really is - intention, giving small things a personal meaning any connecting with nature that is around you. Thank you for uploading this, it was so inspiring and calming to watch.
Hi Olivia, I only watch you sporadically, but I found this video especially helpful! And not for the craftiness, which was fun, but for the discussion of advanced witches vs beginners. It was an aha! moment for me and gave me a goal of how to learn to think! It will help me a lot. Thank you! and it was fun watching you and Marshall together.
Love seeing youtubers getting together to hang out seeing the sights of the area their visiting and doing crafty stuff. Really Enjoyed this video as always.
I've had multiple cicadas emerge in my yard this year. It's so magical watching them hatch and transform and then hearing them sing later on. It's a great grounding sound for me to focus on.
Your videos with Marshall are some of my favorite. The content comes with so much knowledge. The passion behind your practice is relatable and easy to understand. I'm always inspired by your conversations. Thanks for making and sharing these videos.
You both are so wonderfully creative in your practices, its really inspiring to see you both bouncing off eachother and to get ideas for my own practice!! Thank you both so much for this!!
Some of the background music you've been using lately is absolutely awesome. I adore the particular track you used on this one! Late '30s and '40s big band and swing are some of my favorites....this one sounds like something from the early '40s. 🥰
I LOVE to see you two together, there's something special between you two, a connection, a something that makes me smile everytime, something that makes me feel relax. Marshall is a really great guy, talented, strong you're lucky to have him as a friend as much as he's lucky to have you as a friend too. You two are inspiring, charming, powerful.

This vlog was so much more inspirational and practical than I initially expected. Thank you for so much valuable information

You two have so much amazingly synergistic energy together. You are truly blessed to have found each other in this life.
I love listening to another southern witch talk about working with nature and the specific land available to us. 💜
The message I took from this , is let it flow. Don't hold it back. Don't keep it inside, Let It Flow!!! What Inspiration. Brilliant!
Also back to making small grimoires it would be fun to just eventually have a library of magickal tomes and texts of all the knowledge you have amassed over the years, also you could have like a charmed moment just searching through mountains of books to find this one spell.

This was an amazing watch!!! I loved everything. Total star of the show is the yorkie.
this video feels so comfortable to watch, perfect for autumn
YES! Perfect thing for me to unwind to after work 💜 thank you guys, love your conversations.
I'm so happy to see this Collaboration. 2 great witches. "A boatload" of new ideas. Thank you both so much.

This was freaking awesome!!!❤
17:07 they are also absolutely delicious! They’re called lemon clovers for a reason.
I love the energy of this video so much!!!
Aw y’all are so beautiful! 🌹Thank you for sharing your special time together with us!
Everything Marshall said about the Cicadas is so beautiful!
I love you both, and this conversation! Can we also take a moment to appreciate that red dress!
I bought a standard composition book for a very specific working in progress. Basically it's all the things that normally go in a grimoire (spell ingredients, tarot, blasé) but also notes for the mundane stuff relevant to it (budgeting for the week, appointments, memos for daily activities). The magic isn't in the spell itself but the book. It works as long as I use it as a planner first and foremost, with magical notes in the margins

Update: I'm not homeless anymore. I decided to move my grimoire to my old trusty dusty trapper keeper. Plenty of room in there.
I love the way he shows up in his craft. LOOVVVEEE male witches!
Your Song of the Cicada gave me chills... I don't know why but it just felt so right.
This was hands down my favorite collab since Arabian Conjure...I love and adore both you and Marshall and I also just started a new BOS of my own and got some really great ideas thanks so much loved this video💖💖
The ability to improvise is a gift in my opinion and comes with age & practice. Fresh plant material is my preference as well. Loved this vid we always have something to learn and to stay reachable and teachable is a must for all practitioners. I am definitely subscribing now :)
This is exactly the kind of thing I’ve been looking for recently omg! Thank you!

Love seeing you and the witch of Southern Light together. This video was SO inspiring ❤ Blessed be 🎃
This is such a cute and sweet friendship! 🥰🥰 Makes my heart warm
I loved listening to this while working on my junk journal style book of shadows! I want to just sit and work on my books with you both all the time.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing
I love it when my interests cross paths. Junk journaling is something I love to do. Watching this just gave me the idea of using my coffee dyed paper for petitions. I don't know why it never occurred to me before that the coffee would add an extra oomph!
Something about the energy when you two get together is so fun. Thank you for posting.

i just recently created a craft journal about me. What I believe, my craft, my thoughts. I event put in different routines that I like to do from all walks of life.

It's also to help me remember who I am as well or if my believes or routines change...again.
I Would love to hear more about how you use animal bones in your practice!! The mention of roadkill collecting is so interesting and I would love to hear your take on it!!
Oh my goodness I love him! The permission he grants with each topic they discuss is so comforting as a baby witch
This gets my creative juices flowing!!!!!! Thank you!!!!
I love your channel so much. I have been in such a rut with my practice and been getting back into things!! I always come back to your channel when I need inspiration or re-learning some tips and tricks I've learned since following you for so long. Keep up the awesome work!!!❤️
Very much needed to hear the thing about narrative magic. I'm all about stories and this is getting remembered!
I had to stop the video to comment on how educational and informative this video is. I'll have to watch it more than once because there is so much in it. Well done Olivia and Marshall. My only complaint is that the video has made me think about so many things my mind is swimming in ideas.
OBSESSED with this video, you guys are so perfect together! Thank you!
Just wanted to say the aesthetic of your videos is always spot on.
Most excellent, bravo and we want more with you two!
the gift above the ancestor altar is just... perfection.
I always absolutely love listening to the two of you talk, just wish I could teleport to hang with you 😇
I totally love the collaborations with Marshall. He has such a great inner knowledge and so creative with how he incorporates things. Thank you for doing these and I want more! Lol
18:21 you can also use ground shedded lizard skin for speed.
This is one of my all time fav witchy videos. More with marshall plz !!! Love a crafty cunning witch ♡
Thank you for sharing your visit, I feel I learned so much. Because sometimes it does feel like work.
Looooveeeee how Marshall explained the cicadas! Moving from place to place forces me to adapt to the spirits of the new lands, and the first time I heard them, they gave me the chills! Soooo much wisdom!!!
My mind is blown! So many amazing ideas that I will definitely be using. Thank you both for sharing.

This collaboration is such a salve to my heart and I hope you guys do more!
I turn this on so often when I'm working on my spell book. 🌹
I LOVED this video! Great vibes and lokv the crafts, I actually journaled for the first time in MONTHS while watching!

Love! Love! Love this! I loved everything about this video. Thank you.
Impossible not to hear Shreck's voice saying ''magick is about layers''
You guys rock together. Thank you
Nice, another field trip :)
Its called witchcraft for a reason being a crafty witch creating new material and new potions is part of the craft
I love this! Fantastic ideas and so informative!
so cool, the crossroads nails. I have a photo in my instagram of a telephone pole with tons of nails and staples in it - it's spellwork, really. people are putting up those signs with hopes that what is lost will be found or that someone will contact them to do a job. love that.
Such a rich and organic conversation, thank you I learned a bunch
Love you both!! Great video and great vibes!
ok those puppies jumping around like cats is adorable!!!
Well that was a lovely cosy chat. You have inspired me. Pass the glue.
Wonderful! Thank you!!!!
You two are adorable! Marshall has the most warm, beautiful smile. You brought me joy today. Thank you.
I love you both! What an awesome collaboration! ❤️
This was so awesome to watch, really inspiring and encouraging for me as I'm just learning about witchcraft, thank you both for sharing❤
This conversation was so wonderful! I loved how you always came back to point of what magic really is - intention, giving small things a personal meaning any connecting with nature that is around you. Thank you for uploading this, it was so inspiring and calming to watch.
When you find cool stuff just mail it home from your visits. Saves room and if you find something larger it's great
Hi Olivia, I only watch you sporadically, but I found this video especially helpful! And not for the craftiness, which was fun, but for the discussion of advanced witches vs beginners. It was an aha! moment for me and gave me a goal of how to learn to think! It will help me a lot. Thank you! and it was fun watching you and Marshall together.
I really like this video about substituting things and using what you have.
Love seeing youtubers getting together to hang out seeing the sights of the area their visiting and doing crafty stuff. Really Enjoyed this video as always.
This was an incredible video, thanks so much to both of you 🖤🖤🖤
I've had multiple cicadas emerge in my yard this year. It's so magical watching them hatch and transform and then hearing them sing later on. It's a great grounding sound for me to focus on.
Omg two of my FAVES!!!! 🥰⚡️🙏🏽❤️🌹
I have no words for how much I loved this video..... Thank you for making this video..... xoxo
Love seeing this!!! My grimoires have usually been junk journals ❤️❤️❤️
You two are amazing. Its great to learn new things on the craft, sometimes from different perspectives. Thank you both 💜💜
Your videos with Marshall are some of my favorite. The content comes with so much knowledge. The passion behind your practice is relatable and easy to understand. I'm always inspired by your conversations. Thanks for making and sharing these videos.
