True a witch can not fly. The best we can do is a working to help us get a really good deal on airline tickets. It's not as flashy, but it's still useful.
😂🥰
one of the comments under the actual video, said that what he meant was that the witches would put herbs on a broom and ‘ride’ it and ‘fly’ meaning they’d get high from the effects of the herbs by ‘riding’ or rubbing their va*ina on the broom
OMFGs LMFAO Yes!! Everyone wonders how I get such good deals!
Incorrect lol. I see your broom and raise you Astral projection! 😁
Okay, may I ask what working can help me get good deals on airline tickets? I’m going to need a vacation after my work slows down XD.
It’s crazy that people are so inclined to speak to “ Jesus “ but praying to a deity like Hecate is considered fairy tale? 😂
I probably will get punished (by the deity or by the believers) but I usually use his name in curses and to show obvious mocking contempt when I got cornered by these very people.
The only thing I can say that they were right about is that he actually existed but other than that there’s no proof at all
like at least yalls deities actually respond, thats one of the reasons im starting to stray to paganism (im a baby witch and im leaning toward paganism but its hard because i never had any bad experiences with the church or christianity, i actually have a lot of good memories and have had a really nice time like youth group or church camp so its hard to leave that behind)
I find it weird when people think the Judeo Christian God doesn't respond, when christianity is having a relationship with him. He talks, he responds, he gives personal messages, he answers prayers. I think people who don't get a response from God is because they are not tapping into the spiritual side, because He says when you pray, pray in the spirit. A relationship is a two way street, just like pagans can communicate with the spirit world and their deities so can Christians but most Christians don't know how and that's the sad part.
Exactly. I was forced into Christianity and I think it’s pretty weird
"Dont give the devil credit for my work"
I am 100% using that line from now on!!
I'd buy a t shirt with "Don't Give The Devil Credit For My Working" on it
Gift ideas for that special witch in your life:
-Cool empty jars
-Cool empty jars
-Cool empty jars
-Cool empty jars
-Cool empty jars
-Cool empty jars
-Cool empty jars
You forgot shiny stones and crystals and candles, but most importantly cool empty jars.
… Y E S
Candles, candles, candles, candles
Don't forget pretty rocks and feathers and cool stick and acorns and cedar cones
Tarot cards, Books
I really appreciate the “you don’t have to look a certain way to be a witch” sentiment. I feel like I often fall into the Instagram trap of “witchy aesthetic” when in reality, it doesn’t matter how I dress. I’m still a witch.
Yes!!! I wear regular clothes, I’m a warlock, most of us men within witchcraft think we all wear black, that’s quite nice and all but I like to wear normal clothes most likely suits or just regular denim clothes lol
Yeah I recently got into witchcraft and I was Honeslty scared that darkness was a huge pet of it bc I pretty much only wear pink stuff, obnoxious platform shoes, or overalls lmao
I know right just because I wear baggy clothes people think I wear all black and chains or something idk witches can be anybody watch charmed lol some of the things may not be real but they didn’t look like the witches u hear of 😂
@@wolepyro9779 - Right! Or Bewitched. Or Sabrina (90s). Or Witches of East End. Or Wizards of Waverly Place. Or A Discovery of Witches. Witchy Aesthetic looks fun, but also expensive lol. I'd rather look like an earthy chick who shops at a thrift store, than to have to go all "dark glam" 😁
VERY true!!! i have a friend who has the i guess "stereotypical" witch look: dyed hair, black lipstick, lots of crystals, pagan symbol jewelry. then i also knew someone who dressed "sporty". then there's me who like's wearing formal and street clothing. witches don't have "look" nor do other groups of people we might think
y’all can’t tell me I was the only one making potions and doing spells in my garden or a forest with water, sticks and leaves 👀
i was totally doing the same thing! i’d pull berries off of trees/bushes, find sticks and leaves and add water. it was one of my favorite things to do. ✨
My whole childhood! Everyone called it "playing kitchen" or making "mud pies". I just went along with it. 😉
I dug in dirt, I mixed water in and I always would just put stuff together and mix hahah
It was one of my favourite practices as a child i loved that
I was always doing things like this as a kid.
Fully seeded dandelion heads: We, as kids, actually called them "wishes" . Oh and one of the basics in folk knowledge that my mentor in traditional witchcraft taught me is that when the dandelion is still yellow you can rub that on a mosquito bite to make the itch stop.
Thank you that will be useful.
My late Grandma used to make dandelion wine.
In my country kids usually call it "grandfather hairs"
that last part would've been useful back in the times I went camping or fishing as a kid. couldn't stop itching because of mosquito bites. it's a good thing the pests don't carry Malaria where I live but they would still eat me alive.
@@mikeyunovapix7181 maybe ur blood is sweeter then others, my sister has the same problem
Its great how it shows how witchcraft is also personal, some people do shut up workings with cow tongues, while I won’t use anything from animals, especially dead animals, in my practice. It’s all about what feels right for you.
the only thing from an animal I use is cat fur lovingly removed from her brush 😂
i use fur ( from brushess) and reptile shed (: to make necklaces.
@@meow4264 I use a projector to watch my favorite hekate music video and unfortunately my favorite playlist of latin songs got deleted from youtube.
@@meow4264 woah, I haven’t don’t any witchcraft with fur, what do you use it for?
I use my ferrets fur from brushing him and is claw trimmings in replace of cat fur and claws
Witches are like crows and magpies we LOVE shiny things!!! 💖
I love crows!! I have a crow tattoo
Do rocks at the bottom of creeks count as shiny things? xD
Yep
@@brianwagner7357 for me it do, i have a problem whit rocks and things of glass, is like the cave of a dragon jeje
Is it just me or am I just a dumb witch for not liking shiny things? Hurts my eyes-
mystic Dylan strikes again!!!! WE STAN!!! I hope he sees this, we love you Dylan!! also "don't give the devil credit for my work" should be on a tshirt!!
I would totally buy them
ooh 100th like
I would buy three of those shirts with that saying
I'm going to make a shirt that says that one day. 😁
I’m making one on a website so I can wear it
My first spell was a rain spell.
We were having drought, I found an app by accident. Tried a rain spell.
Less than 2 minutes later, it started raining.
Drop the app👀
eyy my second spell was a rain spell, my first one was a sigil for anxiety which works p well
I think once, my sports house did witchcraft accidentally. It was hot day, we had marching with small drums, and we jokingly mimicked the wind summoning drumming (those without drums jumped to the beat) and voila, a strong breeze came and cooled us down.
We did not win the march, though. It was too coincidental, thus I believed we did summoned the wind for a short time.
There's many instances I noticed wind summonings too, not that I am the one wishing for it.
Yo drop the app
My first spell was a rain spell too, my area was also in a drought. And I found a very simple rain spell online, performed it after school and the next morning it was raining, but also lightning and thunder
A binding type spell was my big "aha" moment too! I cast a spell to sever my connection with someone who was extremely unhealthy for me to be with and the literal moment I had finished casting it -- I got a phone call from them. After that conversation, they were out of my life, and I was free.
That was awesome!!
Good for you!
I freaking love Anthony Padilla, he is such a good interviewer and truly takes the time to understand the interviewee's way of life. Especially when it comes to marginalized communities and showing the world who they truly are despite what the media might say about them. Suffice to say, he's freaking awesome 😊
Funny thing, it seems to be in times of need that people turn more to witchcraft and with the troubled times we are living in this year so far... I'm thinking we are in the start of another boost in the beginners again.
Witch baby boom lol
Can confirm, one of the baby witches who just started her journey a month ago
I started my journey about a month ago. I’m part of the baby witch boom.
Unfortunately, some only seek witchcraft because it's "trendy or to have power over others"
@@jaxthewolf4572 Personally I was always a pretty spiritual person, but I never knew there was a name for some of my beliefs until this year so that's why I started
Before the Vid:
Why am I feeling like this is going to make me want to bite onto spinning grindstone?
After the vid: Wow! I actually learned a lot! It's good to know that not all "I TaLkEd 2 a WiTcH" vids are cringey. Thanks for the spotlight! 😁
🌒🌕🌘
Another one she did a reaction video to was actually good as well. I think it was a year or so ago!
“So yeah, we have imagination, like everyone does”
*cries in Aphantasia*
Haha 100% agree with people believing more than they will admit. I have so many friends who don't believe in it who will send me messages or ask me if I can do anything to help them in various situations. They don't believe in it until they need it. :P
My boyfriend says he doesn't believe in it. That is until he wants me to do a working for him (usually for money) and he's blown away at the results. Then he goes back to not believing in it, then rinse and repeat. Lol
I think the first time I realized even setting your intentions/thoughts/energy towards a malice intent can do harm was when I was in 9th grade. I didn't know much about witchcraft or anything related to it at the time so I didn't see any harm in what my friends and I were doing. Everyday on the way up from lunch to our science class we would "wish" at 11:11am that something would happen to our teacher so that she wouldn't be in school/teaching (we didn't like her since she was a bit mean and a very harsh grader). Anyways again none of us saw any harm in what we were doing so everyday all 11-12 of us would wish for this for months straight everyday even on weekends🤦🏼♀️. One day we came into class and were so happy we had a sub. Then the next day we had a sub too and were still happy like yay she's not here thinking maybe she was on vacation or something, but this went on for over 2 weeks and we started wondering what happened to her. Turns out she developed cancer and was out getting chemo treatments and almost died. I don't know if what we did contributed to this in any way, but she was out for the rest of the year and came back the next year without any hair, very slim/frail, and a completely different person and teacher, much nicer and a very easy grader perhaps because she was tired I'm not sure. Anyways I can never be sure that what we did had any impact on her horrible situation, but it was definitely enough to scare me away from ever doing any sort of negative magic or even directing negative intents towards any person because you never know what harm that can cause someone else and in my eyes no one deserves that.
Oh and a few months into the next school year I was in a ski accident that damaged my neck and part of my brain and led to me being incredibly sick; Hashimotos hypothyroditis, adrenal issues, PCOS, POTS, and other things. This led to me being out of school for the rest of the year and homebound for the next 2 years.. Flash forward 3 years to present day and I'm starting to feel normal again but I missed pretty much all of my high school years and first year of college, times and experiences that I'll never get back/get to experience. I am Wiccan now (have been practicing and learning for the past 4 years) and 100% believe in the Threeefold Law/ The Rule of Three and adhere to the wiccan rede. Even if all of this is unrelated or just coincidental there's always the chance that it isn't and I don't want to risk anything like this ever happening again.
I had a similar experience, there was a kid who was mean to my friends and just generally disrespectful so I put a killing curse on him in 8th grade thinking none of my spells had worked before so this one won’t work either, then about a month or two later he got in a car accident, he broke his leg and was in a coma for a couple of weeks, I still don’t know if I had anything to do with it but I don’t do many hexes anymore.... then about a few months after that I started getting bad rashes and getting extremely sick around my period, for a couple of years we tried to figure out what was going on and it turns out that I have lupus and now I have stage 1 kidney disease because of it... I don’t know if any of this has to do with that spell but now I always warn my baby witch friends about the dangers of hexing
@@tank7456 Just a note; curse and hex are two different kinds of spells. Hexes are for minor annoyances, and usually fall off in a short period of time. Curses are much more severe, and can affect full bloodlines.
U are channeling choas magick
@@ryanmiller5308 ...and? (Also, it's chaos*)
I think being, "born a witch," is less about genealogy, and more saying like a spiritual destiny. It's part of you.
Kudos to Anthony for letting his interview subjects be themselves, and for an edit that doesn't cherry-pick to say, "Oh, I did this to get views, all their beliefs are nonsense" -- and kudos to you for presenting the video in a way that doesn't take away from his channel. Brava! (I also want to reassure you that you have a perfectly lovely nose that suits your face quite nicely.)
We do tend to like shiny things!! I swear many of us are crows/ravens/magpies in human suits. LOL :D
accurate! i see a crystal or even just a shiny rock and i simply can't resist
true, i went on a nature walk the other day and came back with a few pretty leaves, 2 nice sticks, a couple feathers, some acorn tops, an acorn, some dead plant that looked witchy, some rocks, and some clove like deadass
True!
True. Shiny stuff is just the best
True, I have a huge collection of just shinny things😂
This is so great! My great grandmother on my dads side was a Strega. And when she came to the US from Italy in 1903, she brought her practice with her.
@susanrodriguez my sister & I am the last 3/5 of 3 generations of Zagovor Vedaks ( well,I'm the only one who actually is practicing) ....
Starting with my Grandmother's niece ....ending with myself
On the front of superstitions beginner secret witchcraft. He loves me, He loves me not with the flower is a form of divination. I have not seen that a whole lot in today's youth, but 30 years ago when I was a kid, all the little girls would pick flowers and torture the poor things to see if their crush liked them. Do young people still do this, kinda 30 years outa the loop?
Hi! Not sure about all country’s haha, but I’m from Australia, I was born in 2000 and we used to that to flowers a lot when we were kids
Oh omg i'm a baby witch and i used to do that but with "will i be a fashion designer, will i be a fashion designer not?" Because i really wanted to become a fashion designer HAHDHGAGSHAHDHHSAHAHHA
I did this as a kid and I was born in 2002 :’).
Late reply, but I use to teach Preschool and I can confirm that yes that is still done today
I had a Mario ds game as a kid where this was one of the mini games and it was pretty much all I played. I was obsessed (but I never had anyone in mind which was probably a tell about my gayness)
Them: I don’t believe in all that magick stuff
Also them: trying to hide crystals and candles behind there back
Are you wiccan? Becuse you spelld magic with ck
Anthonys video is what introduced me to real witchcraft and what inspired me to start learning
SAME!
Same. And I’m sooo glad. I feel like I found a part of myself finally that was missing and waiting for me
That’s great, if you want to look into Wicca or just more educational content on witches I reccomend harmony nices enchanted endeavours series on TH-cam :)
OMG SAME
Hey I just came out to friends that I’m pagan
Slytherin Hufflepuff congrats! I hope they’re being good to you! o/
I’m so proud of you!!
Yay! How did it go?
❤️
Yay! 💜
i’m a baby witch and i’m so glad to be entering a community that is so amazing and vastly different from person to person with their practice.
Hello baby witch of the past! I'm a baby witch of the future (to you)... are you a witch in the present? 😊
Hahahahaha Dylan is my bloody spirit animal 😂 so I had something similar! I was already 10 years into my path as this moment happened to me last year. There was a bully in our mothers group just a disgusting type that pitted the mothers against each other and had a queen bee complex. After the final straw of her spreading rumours about our family amongst the kindy kids I went straight home, photocopied her latest photo and wrote a petition on the back. I bound it in 3 meters of black ribbon SCREAMING at it that I’m binding her and her toxicity. The next week her family had moved SCHOOLS and she had been at our school already for 7 years! I couldn’t BELIEVE it because I still consider myself a studier and the occasional practitioner.
You screamed and raged at her during the spell. That can add a ton of oomph
The thing about binding spells is so true! When I was a beginner, I tried to hex a girl who was bullying a friend of mine in school (don't do this kids, dark magic is not for beginners, I was dumb) and I poured so much rage into the spell that two weeks later the girl moved away and we never saw her again. That was the "oh shit, I'm a f*cking witch" moment for me
As a male, telling people I'm a Sea Witch usually gets me the "oh, you're like Ursulas cousin"
Gee thanks Disney!
Disney got The Slavic Moon Goddess Ursula confused with a Sea Hag
I LOVE that you promote that it's perfectly okay to not be all about "Love and Light." That's one of the most frustrating and infuriating things about the witchy and spiritual communities. I really enjoyed your reaction of this video!! I really resonated with many things you said :) and I fully agree!!! I would've loved for it to have been much longer, I wanted to see the witches do their thing 😭
I really loved Anthonys Video! I think he asked the right questions to debunk the most annoying misconceptions about witchcraft. Absolutely amazing choice of witches to interview! The video was so funny and entertaining but also so informational and real. I send this interview to my non-witchy friends because it was a great way to start a conversation about witchcraft and my practice. Highly recommend the video. Anthony Padilla just doesn't disappoint, his interviewing skills are off the scale.
I'm a white witch, and I dont do love spells or dark magic and things like that (because I believe in the rule of 3 and karma), but I also dont discourage people who do. I respect all witches and what they believe.
Off-topic but I love ur username
Dylan is one of my favorite witches, he ALWAYS uses the cow tongue spell as an example and I LOOOOVE IT. Y’all should check out his podcast! “The Witch and The Medium” it’s so great
I'm always really glad when I hear people talking about non-female representation in witchcraft. Both myself and my friend who practice witchcraft fall into the Non-binary spectrum, and it's just.... really nice to see some non-female representation. As a genderfluid/Trans-man.... I'm always so happy to see male witches in videos C:
I also really liked the fact you talked about inherent witches. I've only recently fully started identifying as a witch and really incorporated witchcraft into my life, but.... I've always had a draw to it. Witchcraft just.... feels so natural and right, and it made me really realize that I was probably always meant for this path.
Finally: I 👏 STAN 👏 TRATIONAL 👏 WITCHCRAFT!!! Like, I personally don't do hexes and curses and magic like this, just because I'm still very new, and I'd rather learn about it and really understand this type of magic before getting my hands in on all of it. HOWEVER!!! I admire people who are so confidence and really understand this type of magick: it's powerful and (if done incorrectly) it can be dangerous. I want to be that level of confidence in my practice and I want to be that level of knowledgeably one day, so I want to learn more and more about it from people who actually do it.
I love all of this!! I agree there needs to be more representation outside of just women witches, and I think in time there will be for sure. Many of the witchy groups I'm in on Discord have a strong LGBTQIA presence and are incredibly friendly and welcoming to the full spectrum of gender identity, many even with dedicated channels for chatting together about LGBTQIA subjects etc. I think many are still pretty new to the craft and I hope as they gain experience and more begin their journey in witchcraft that soon there will be a greater presence of non-binary, male and other identities within witchcraft and therefore on TH-cam etc. If you're not already on Discord and in some of the witchy groups there, I highly recommend it.
i have a non binary witch friend, they actually kind of unintentionally gave me the push to start, another one of my friends is a witch too so technically we could start a coven but were all baby witches
Daniel, I'm a GenderQueer Stormbringer
I appreciate Anthony’s videos...they feel like parody interviews but they’re always so genuine. If more interviews were like his, maybe people would learn so much more. I also love “reaction” videos with experts reacting to other creators; I always learn so much more. Great video! Thank you!
i've always been pretty interested in witchcraft/magick, ever since i was a kid, and i've had friends who practiced. i'm also a fan of anthony's work. it was this exact interview that made me want to get back into spell work. i think he did an amazing job here and it's so nice to see that everyone agrees.
Same! Especially the point in the video that sometimes you can feel called to being a witch like some people feel "called" to be a nun. I feel like I was a really witchy child. I even tried to start a coven in my 3rd grade class at Catholic school.
I'm not wiccan but I do believe in what goes around comes around
For me, the best part about being a witch is that I can unironically say the phrase "I will hex everyone in this room!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
P.S. I'm still new to all of this. So no, I don't have the means to hex everyone in a room.... for now :>>>
@@jellygremlin583yearsago5 keep studying and you can do it, I believe in you!
Its interesting to me because I pretended when I was a child that I was studying spells in school. I also looked at the moon a lot. I realized later on that some traditions at Christmas were pagan before Christianity.
Especially the Christmas tree,it screams Pagan.
yay ! i’ve been waiting for this since i watched this from anthony :D
As someone who discovered he was a Sea Witch, I used to hold my breath underwater for an exceptional amount of times! They said I was a natural swimmer, later I found I was a Natural Sea Witch.
THANK YOU for mentioning that some witches work with the Christian God. I get so much backlash for saying I’m a witch, but I work with God. Some people just cannot differentiate between Wicca/Satanism/Paganism and witchcraft. Yes, there are witches who follow those religions, but witchcraft is solely a practice. For example, one thing I want to start doing is anyone who needs to be prayed for with their consent, or comes to me to pray for them, I make poppets and stuff them with herbs that align with the specific goal of the prayer, with a piece of paper that has their name on it, along with something personal (piece of jewelry, hair, etc.) and I pray over that until they get their answer. Witchcraft for me is a way to take my intentions, subconscious thoughts, etc and use the tools as a physical manifestation to direct it.
I've always loved Anthony Padilla. he's so respectful to every group he talks to, and he goes into the interviews with an open mind. he's a great person to watch if you want to learn about a certain group.
I love how this really normalizes witches, and how the video and you hammer in that the majority of witches are normal looking people with normal jobs and lives outside of their practice! I’m a normal looking lady about to be a teacher, with a normal life & marriage, and I’m also a witch! We’re just people with less common spiritual beliefs, just dudes, bros, gals, & pals. Like anyone else
Whilst we do not tend to use the term wizard it’s more than ‘Harry potter bullshit’ it comes from Anglo Saxon meaning wise one and was sometimes used in regards to the cunning folk.
Warlock is also actually a bit more complex but pagan books have defined these as such :)
This is good just little bumps along the way :)
I totally agree the calling element though I admit I feel witchcraft is a specific branch of magic not just a synonym for magic
I remember as a child seeing a silver pentagram necklace and falling in love with it. I never got it, but I had been searching for my religion since then. I was partially raised by my hardcore Christian babysitter, so I thought that the pentagram was associated with Satanism and started looking there. As soon as I found Wicca, I felt at peace. Listening to the music and practicing worship has even brought me down from panic attacks
Silver wards away Evil,and the Pentagram is not evil in itself.
Just going to say my experience with kinda knowing i was meant for this path. Ive always questioned christianity more than the other kids because were i live it is very Christian dominated. And of course as a kid you learn about the old gods, and in elementary school my teacher said, after reading a book about the Greek Gods, "Who think this is real?" i was the only one to put my hand up and said "God doesn't make any sense to me, but this feels more right for me." and EVERYONE in the room popped off on me as a kid and called me devil worshipper and how i needed jesus and i just needed to read he bible more... then oh boy when i would draw pentacles they would scream that even more so i had no friends and now even in Highschool going to be a senior some of them still think im a crazy evil satanist... but at least now i know im not insane because i shoved it all into a box because i thought something was wrong with me until i found more people like me online and now im here ^-^
When i was in Secondary school my grandma bought me a bunch of pictures of Fairys, they were all different and were in companion of an animal
I love them a lot! They were the size of tarot cards (At the time i didnt know anything about Witchcraft,tarot nor anything of that)
I made a design at the back of them, took them to school and "read" the future to my classmates
Until one day a teacher realize and took them away from me and told me that what i was doing was SATANIC and WITCH STUFF
Also a classmate complain that i said something horrible was going to happen at home, and yes, her mother was robbed with a gun 2 days after i gave him a read
I started studying Celtic and Fairy Wicca and i just found myself!
I love mystic Dylon. I love it when Olivia (the witch of wonderlust here on TH-cam and Instagram) does videos with them. And I'm a male witch and ive tried forever to find more male witches.
Anthony’s videos are so incredible. I wish I could write intros for my essays as well as he can for his videos lol
Banishing spells would have been so useful in highschool!
i love anthony’s interviews, but this one had me so happy and wanting more. I’m so happy you reacted to it! really wanted to hear ur opinion on it!
I hear ya on binding spells. I had awesome success with one I did several years ago.
A note on the word, "warlock"... I think that's an iffy term that there is much debate around. Yes, the common understanding is that it means "oath breaker", but the history there is suspect, and I do know many people in the magical community are attempting to "take back" the term. Storm Faerywolf uses the term and wrote a pretty good article about it not too long ago (I'm sure you could Google it, I don't have a link lol).
The video was ok. I wish there was one of these "I spent time with real Witches" videos that actually went more *in depth*... maybe a multiple-part series, ya know? When they're so short like this though, I feel like it causes a lot of confusion (ie the whole "Threefold Law" thing). I'm sure it was confusing to the viewers when the Strega Witch (with the Wiccan influence) was talking about how your actions come back three-fold, and then in another scene, the other two Witches are talking about hexes and the like, ya know? I can imagine that someone completely new to Witchcraft would be confused by that.
Awesome reaction, Hearth! :-)
Naww, worlock etymology was done years ago, thats why we know it means oath breaker today.
Its like ethnic groups wanting to "take back" racial slurs.
🤦🏾♂️😂
Hey, this is not true whole video, you can go to his Chanel to see the whole thing. I see what you’re saying though it would be cool if he lengthened out the videos a little more, but he’s hugely popular and really is trying to introduce topics to mainstream populations. If I like and want to know more about witchcraft I’d watch an hour on it but if I only like Anthony and don’t care about witches I might not watch that. Idk he has a lot of topics im sure algorithm wise the length is important
"And wizard is just some Harry Potter bullshit" Oml I love him 😂😂😂
"I'm not all love and light 💁♀️"
It is funny that you talk about the importance of non-female representation being rare and important because I know two witches in real life, one being male, the other, trans. Representation is super important and these witches are amazing people that don't fit the insta-mold.
Dylan's really out here teaching the kind of magick I wish would have been on Tumblr when I was a teenager.
I’ve been having a pretty normal day which turned awful all of a sudden and then I saw that you posted, and I instantly felt better, even though I’m only a few minutes in as I’m writing this. From the bottom of my heart - thanks ❤️
I just made a rune necklace and a steel wand few weeks ago. There was this blacksmithing thing and I was so glad to do it. I really love how both turned out. :)
I will be honest I am not a Wiccan but when I have gone out side of the rule of three it would come back to bite me when I was younger. So I am thinking the law of three is based on the persons soul contract and their divine path that they choose pre earth life. Omg yessss everybody ALWAYS comes to me when they need my witchy skills....I am like oh now you will come to me when you should have come to me in the beginning.
I loved this video! It is such a great and positive thing to see us represented in this way!
I love your comment about us liking shiny things. You got that right! I have too many crystal bracelets...and I love all of them too much. I have always loved Anthony. He's so open-minded and is so good at getting multiple views on a topic. I wish we had more people like him who are willing to be open and listen to another side of things. He's a good role model for those who want to learn more.
people really be out here like "witchcraft isn't real" but wont give you a lock of their hair and their birth time
The metaphysical and supernatural are very real,I know it is. I dated a witch,she was a very sweet and intelligent woman. Unfortunately,she moved to London,England.
I have always been untreated in witchcraft even when I was A child thank you for sharing and helping the ones that want to practice for the first time.
Same thing happen to me. My dad had been trying to sell this house he built for years. So one time when my dad and I visited the house to water the plants, I drew some sigils on the house's walls and doors for it to get sold quick. A week later, a family rent it (at least we get some money from the renting). That's the moment I knew it.
Seen Anthony’s video a few times and it never get old. Absolutely love it.
Why do witches wear so much jewelry? Mostly we just like shiney things! Haha! I died.
I think I’ve been a witch my whole life without realising it too. When I was a child I had a lot of weird experiences to this day I can’t understand. And there are little things that I do which would be considered witchcraft. I haven’t done a lot of research, I’ve heard of Wicca, paganism etc. But I’ve never looked further into it. I did my first spell this year without realising. I was running a bath the night before a job interview. I was really looking forward to it. I put hemp, coconut and lime bath salts in my bath, lit a few green candles, washed my hair with green apple shampoo, used a salt scrub with is the same as the bath salts and basically visualised the bad luck washing away and being cleansed by the water. When they water went down the plug I visualised the bad luck going down the drain. Then asked the universe for new luck, not even good luck but just new as I will make the luck with what my intentions are. So the next day I went to this interview, I want to add I am really shy especially when it’s anything official. A job in a nursery is pretty official. So I go in and the manager says go find some kids and we will see how you do. I asked her if I could do a creative activity with the children because it’s were I am most comfortable. If anyone has ever worked with children, it is so awkward to go up to a group and sit with them and join in their game. 1- they don’t want you to ruin their fun, 2- they don’t know me yet, I am a complete stranger. If I have something fun to do they will come to me, can I just say this is by far my best interview yet I loved the whole hour which felt like ten minutes. So I decided to grab some toy dinosaurs and dip their feet in paint and the kids can paint a picture using the dinosaurs. About five kids instantly walk over the minute they see the paint, which I knew would happen because a lot of kids love crafty stuff. Anyway I made sure to talk to all the kids and just do my job essentially, I was so nervous because I hadn’t been in a nursery for over a year and had been teaching children English online. So anyway when I finished the interview the manager told me that one of the kids that I was working with is extremely shy and only goes to a few members of staff, and I had her talking away. I completely brought this little girl out of her shell and it really warmed my heart because that’s why I do my job. So I go to my parents in laws who we had been living with but only recently just moved out. Was waiting for my father in law to get home so I could tell him how it went. After I told him the whole story I said “ I think I got the job” I got a email from the manager saying they’d love to have me join the team and I was over the moon, then covid happened and they could only offer me certain hours which would have paid my travel there and home so it wasn’t beneficial to me and my family. My partners business can offer more money for less hours so I had to turn the job down. But like I said, I have no idea what I’m doing. I did a healing candle spell for my partner last week, we recently just had our car completely get written off. It’s not road worthy anymore. Which has put us in a financial position. We need a car otherwise we cannot work. My partner and I have had a tough few years. He needed to be able to get through this time without losing hope. Not in us just in life. It’s been really hard on us, last week he crashed the quad bike at work a few days before that his brother was in a crash, two years ago nearly we lost his uncle in law. Our car constantly eating our savings because it’s 15 years old and is just finished. Or go back to 3 years ago (nearly) him leaving the army getting an amazing job 27,000 a year!!! And the company going bankrupt after six months of him joining. That’s why we moved in with his parents and I left my nursery job that I had been in for four years. I have always been the optimist and been able to say we are okay but this week has been hard. We just bought a new car today ( second hand but new to us) with the help of my parents in law. We had to take a small loan. But we are fortunate to have what we have and be able to live comfortably. It’s our 5 year anniversary this month on the 19th and on the 25th we go on a little get away with the rest of the fam 🥰
Omg Hearth...i really loved this..im so proud to b a witch..i love how true knowledge of it is betrayed and ur reaction was amazing.. I love ur videos..u rock
A banishing spell is how I got "back" into and opened up to practicing. Within 2 weeks my abusive partner got himself arrested. Plus everything went smoothly and in my favor: moving away, getting legal protection, him staying away once released etc.
That was my "Holy sh*t I'm a witch!" moment. 😊
I was born on Halloween and everything about nature, the elements, energy manipulation etc makes sense to me. I have always been interested in the esoteric. Hollywood placed witchcraft into a box and I only recently realized I've been practicing witchcraft for years and years now and just not labelling it as such, to me it's either meditation, or cleansing, or praying, didn't know there was a term for all of those rituals put together. Nice video :)
tbh I like that he starts his video with 2 extreme options - he's presenting the current (wrong) opposing arguments, rather than the final one which he gets to by the end which is balanced and encompasses what he's learned.
I had an argument with my mom the other day about witchcraft. She thinks it's all evil and dangerous. Guess I'll keep that part of myself hidden for now.
But, interestingly enough, I've always been drawn to witchcraft. I just only recently stopped denying myself the want to study.
One point to be made on the difference between candle/fire magick and birthday candle rituals. we do not blow candles out to make wishes You should NEVER blow candles out in magickal workings (the idea behind this being that you are using one element to cancel out another) either use a candle snuffer to extinguish the flame if it is an ongoing rite over a period of time (eg: a lunar cycle etc) generally they are left to burn themselves out. As an aside that probably explains a lot of 'urban exploration' videos where people go to remote locations and find the aftermath of a rite where the candles are still burning with no-one around (which can be kinda spooky agreed) If you find your self in a similar situation DO NOT touch anything and just go (unless it is an obvious fire hazard).
Yeah I did a freezer spell to block person from my life next time I saw him he RAN...no joke...he never spoke to me til I removed it from freezer about a year...lol
They are great little workings, freezer spells.
I liked how he filmed it, however, I felt like some witches were taking the piss, or they were labeling certain practices as specifically witchcraft, when it’s bigger than that.
Maybe I’m too judgmental, however, that’s kind of how I felt.
Idk but I respect him for not making fun of the witches he interviewed. He's one of my favorite TH-camrs.
My "aha!" spell wasn't a binding, but a communication uncrossing. Someone I'd been close with and I had developed some baggage and stopped being able to have unforced conversation. I did a candle spell, and the next day we spontaneously talked for HOURS.
That wasn't my first successful spell, but it was the first one to work that quickly that spectacularly. It was galvanizing.
What you said about the mamby-pamby stuff really resonated. I'm very new to the craft but I already felt like a lot of witches in the online groups I've joined really push the rule of 3 (which I personally don't think makes sense, given the laws of nature) and I was starting to feel a bit left out or even wicked somehow for being drawn to 'darker' workings. I found it upsetting when someone asked for assistance with a hex to be told by 50+ people to not do it because of the rule of 3 :(
I love Dylan’s sense of humor. He had me chuckling. 😂
I believe in the reed of “harm ne none and do what you will”, “the rule of three” and “karma”. I’m into tarot’s, crystals, candle magic and herbal prayers and cleansing. I’ve been very sensitive with people energy and get a lot of dejavú before it happens.
This is the video that started my craft! I love how respectful he was!
Blessed be Lady Hearth. I just wanted to say that even though we are as we are, I don't really have a term or label for what we tend to do, traditionally. I am also a witch, but that term has been so stigmatized, but if a term so be applied, I guess I prefer the term scholar of the arcane. Silly, but it works. Anyway, love and light to thee Lady Hearth. May Cerridwen smile upon thee always. So more it be. 🧙
i really respect anthony for doing enough research to be respectful and understand the history of witchcraft but left enough lack of knowledge to be able to learn from the people he interviewed
One more thing so happy you are like one of the few witches that is real and raw. You are honest. Thankyou!
First off, you look so pretty! I also love mystic Dylan and love the witch and the medium on podcast and TH-cam. He’s so knowledgeable! Your honesty is refreshing!
As far as the one lady saying that she always was a witch, it's probably like someone naturally finding it pleasing to speak in a rhythmic fashion with certain pitches that are pleasing to the ear and someone being a singer. Someone could naturally pick up on some of the things that might be classified as witchcraft and then might come to the realization that the stuff they always did could be described as witchcraft.
Hearth: they just disappeared. (Pause)
Me: ehm... disappeared-disappeared?
Hearth: they're still around but
Me: ok cool. 😂
Great video, great thoughts, great laughs. Love the authenticity of everyone included. Not just like you mentioned the typical love nd money spells etc nowadays. Thanks. 😊
I've done a number of spells and rituals and had them come to full fruition pretty quickly. Binding someone from doing harm, calling someone's as yet unknown true love to them, revealing the truth about a person and their intentions, among other things.
Please please please do a video about everyday things people do that is witchcraft like blowing out the candles and touch wood. That would be so interesting 💕✨
Wiccans: The Catholics of the Witch world (Folks think Catholic with 'Christian' and 'Wicca' with Witchcraft even though they're not the same things at all)
Catholicism is technically a type of Christianity
Spot on, thank you! Carmi
😂💁🏾♂️
That's funny because I was just thinking about how the term "Christian Witch" is really interesting because growing up Catholic, "Christian" usually meant Protestant to me. A lot of the Christian witch literature I've read also seems more influenced by Protestant traditions or Jehovah's Witnesses and I've been having a hard time finding one written by a Catholic.
As always I learned so much from this video you explain things so well and yes I love the representation Anthony chose to interview that was wonderful to see xx
A binding spell was my "I'm a witch" moment too, but only after i stopped the spell. That was solid proof for me.
To me, my moment I started to believe in witchcraft blew my mind. We played some kind of board game and I was wishing for the right number on my dice. I got the right number. Tried it again, again, again. It always worked, as long as I did it in silence. That opened my eyes, and scared me tbh.
I have always wanted to be a witch and have always been drawn to "witchy" things and just last night ive decided to stop beating around the bush and become a witch but im so overwhelmed with what path i can take or where to start. If anyone has suggestions or advice please leave a reply. Thank yo I for reading please have a great day/night.
I'm in the same boat ;w;
Gotta love Anthony! Great video Hearth, as always!
So glad you made another react video! I just watched all your other ones and I loved listening to you explain everything. Looking forward to this one!
I am wiccan who happens to be a witch. I was taught that wicca and witch craft are two separate things. A wiccan doesnt automatically practice witchcraft just like someone who practices witchcraft isnt automatically wiccan. I started to practice wicca and witchcraft at an early age, but my own mother knew right away once I was able to verbalize my thoughts and feelings that I was just that. She always called me a "natural born witch" simply to say she watched the witch in me my entire life. I believe we all really are, but some are conditioned to close out that part of themselves in certain ways, though it will always be there regardless. Those are my beliefs on that.
This young woman's goth make up is the best I've seen yet. It's pale with dark accents but it's not excessive. It looks great, very tasteful. I'd use this as a starting model for my own look.
anthony is such a good interviewer i love him
