    There are a couple of things that I want to say here. First, I can’t imagine the difficulties and challenges that you face with your illness and I appreciate you sharing with your viewers a glimpse of that part of yourself. Second, I have been a practicing green witch for over almost 35 years, and just want to say, that I love to see the younger generation’s fresh new take on the different ways that they practice. You have created for yourself a gentle and beautiful pathway. Third, I really enjoy your videos; absolutely gorgeous, calming, and I can tell you are putting your heart and soul into these videos. Keep it up girl, you are doing fabulous. Blessed Be. ❤️

      As a new green witch (I've only been practicing for about six months), I love your comment. Annie is amazing and is one of my prominent influences in pursuing this path. I admire your experience, and, if I may ask, what inspired you to choose the path of the green witch almost 35 years ago? Blessed be!

    Seeing another witch with Ehlers-Danlos talking, even a little bit, about the challenges of shared food and dislocations got me emotional. I so rarely see other people who live this way. It's an illness that excels at making you feel isolated, and this made me feel very seen and understood. So much love and support to you 🖤

    I dont struggle withthe same disorder as you but as someone who has struggled with anorexia and now has IBS, I completely relate to the inability to experience food the same way others do. the feeling of sitting at a table and not being able to join in with the festivities is a horrible one. thank you for having your struggle because I'm sure you have helped many people.
    I also wanted to say that I'm sorry if you've recieved any judgement for not being vegan. I'm fortunate enough that I can be vegan but I know that it really is not a suitable diet for everyone and should not be forced onto others. I'm glad you've found a way to interact and work with food that brings you joy and is healthy for you.
    I was I introduced to you by a friend because I'm curious about witchcraft and I absolutely adore your channel, you have such a calming energy and are so passionate and dedicated to your practice. thank you for sharing all this knowledge !

    Also, thank you for sharing your experience about your condition. I like how you shared that you still try to share in meals with others despite your condition. I've never heard of it before, but I can vaguely relate as I have a condition that makes my bowels reject a lot of food groups that other people can eat. Sometimes it is hard to share meals with others because there are a lot of things that hurt me and are present in many foods. Hearing your experience put that into perspective for me but also gave me ideas on how I can still enjoy meals with others that I may not be able to eat myself. Thank you! Blessed be!

    I have always been curious but raised Baptist and Methodist. I was finding myself in a crisis of ‘faith’ in the mid-‘80s and cried out in my mind “if there really is a God, just give me a sign.” After a while I realized I was getting an answer form the trees around me, “We’ve always been right here.”
    So, Druid? I quickly resolved to take a serious look into witchcraft, which I have always been interested in. This finally felt like “home.”

I am a beekeeper myself and honestly my babies are happy, and I always do what is best for them in terms of harvesting, or not harvesting, or feeding, and if you want honey that comes from beekeepers who do the same, just buy honey at like a farmer's market, where you can get it straight from a local beekeeper.

    I haven’t played a single game other than Skyrim in years honestly 😅😂 and thank you for all of the videos you make, watching you always reminds me to recognize the magick in the things that surround me every day. I live in a city, I have very little access to nature, and I rarely get to see the moon or stars - it often frustrates me because I feel like I am so distant from nature that it hinders my ability to practice and connect with the beautiful energies I share this planet with. But I cannot take for granted the things I do have - my little family of plants and cats in my home, the trees and birds outside my window, access to dried herbs, my kitchen, and my own spirit. Thank you for helping me appreciate the little things around me

    I want to call you "Honey". Please know it is not coming from a patronizing place, but from a loving one. SO, Honey, Thank you so much for your beautiful transparency and your lovely offerings on both of your channel's. What you just shared with us was powerful, and you did it without any projection or attachment to the victim archetype. Not a small thing. You are so wise beyond your years. I am a green/hedge/kitchen witch, and an herbalist - both for over 30 years (and in many ways, even since I was a young child). I follow less and less dogma (none, really) as I begin to step into my crone years, but I still love a simple, alive, moment-to-moment practice. It has all become a very creative and present moment way of life. And I love watching your videos! They delight my inner child and inspire me to play. How lovely to connect with so many more sisters. Sending much healing light to your very strong body/mind/spirit. Many blessings, Amara

      As someone with the goal of being vegan:
      I've been working towards it from eating like a normal Texan for like six years. It's a different journey for everyone and anything helps. I hate that so many people in my community take the severity of the issue and run with it. It might be a problem but it's unrealistic to expect anyone to be educated, sustainably healthy, or to go cold turkey when there is so much gatekeeping and shaming within the extreme parts of the community. It flushes out all of the ACTUALLY useful and very immediately actionable info when the TH-cam feed is all Instagram vegans that eat less than 1400 calories a day and extremists that call meat eaters out instead of being kind. 🥺😔

    • @Red-fg9qr

      More than being vegan or not, it's how you eat your meals, if it's animal based atleast make sure the animals you're consuming were treated correctly and were killed with the least pain possible. Sure you won't know if a pig was treated correctly because a pig is not kosher, however when it's a cow if it says Kosher then you're making sure the animal was treated correctly.
      If you're eating eggs, atleast make sure you're getting them from a local farmer and not mass produced ones.
      As you all know, intention matters.
      If someone wants to be vegan, great job, I respect it. If someone doesn't want to be vegan, I respect it too. You do you.

    I randomly stumbled across this video and first off, you’re so freaking beautiful, I’m literally gay screaming. (Well, in my head, it’s like, 5:30am right now.) Secondly, I haven’t seen any creator so far with EDS, and that totally took me off guard, and I had looked down to peel a sticker off of my laptop and my head snapped right back up as soon as I heard that. I’m currently dealing with a huge health decline due to EDS.
    I’m currently diagnosed with type three, but I’m in the process of getting my diagnosis changed due to my heart condition and the fact my stomach has recently decided to hate doing the job of keeping stomach acid… In my stomach… where it belongs. I’ve had three hospitalizations this year already since it causes my esophagus to bleed rapidly and I vomit blood.
    It’s taken so much of my life away. I was lucky enough to spend three healthy months with my newborn daughter and she was a year old before I reached a point of being able to be at home for more than two or three weeks before going right back to the hospital for months at a time, and right now, I’ve hit my longest time yet at almost four months at home. My daughter turned three this year and attempting to raise her from a hospital bed is just… It’s hard. It’s hard, but I did it in the end, and now, fingers crossed, I’m on the way up, and not down.
    It’s kinda messed me up in a weird way, but for some reason, just hearing someone else is dealing with similar issues, with the same condition, was just… Healing… In a way? I don’t really know how to describe it. I hit subscribe right away, and thank you for sharing that part of you, and I’m sending all of my positive thoughts, feelings, and vibes right your way.

      It's a trapeze walk trying to keep everything going to the point that life can be kinda normal. I did a lot of trial and err back in mostly in the 90's and lived according to what worked to keep quality of life normal. Now my silly habits have snazy labels like paleo, fodmap, whole 30. It's a tight rope to walk and hard, sad decisions along the way.

    For those who are interested in Herbalism, I work as a homework reviewer for Rosemary Gladstar. Her books are amazing and she has a beginner book out that would be a good place to start. Becoming an Herbalist 27 years ago was life-changing for me and also led me to the path of Paganism. You'll be amazed how many of those wild weeds growing in your yard are fantastic medicine. As a former librarian, once libraries are open again, ask them for different plant id books and herbal medicine books and find the ones you like the most. I'm learning a lot about gastroparesis since my daughter's boyfriend has it-- linked to his Type 1 diabetes.

    you for your witchy teachings and vibe, but I have seriously appreciated

    This was a beautiful video, thank you for sharing your Q and A here on youtube. I am a vegan but everything that you said I completely understand and agree with. You are doing what you need to do in your life, which is perfectly fine. Also, you are incredibly lucky your parents and family supported you when they found out you are a witch. I am a secular Zen Buddhist and when my family found out I was ridiculed, bullied and ignored as if I didn't even exist. It was a difficult thing to go through, but I became stronger and learned a lot through all that. It makes me happy to hear other families are more supportive though.

    I know this video is older but your videos are a kind of “comfort show” for me. I watch them all the time. I recently went though a pretty hard time and I didn’t work for a year... I have a job interview this week. It’s not the big fancy career I was doing before I had to quit working but... it’s a part time job at a retail store to start getting me back around people.
    Seeing how awesome you are and how calm you are has helped me more than you know. I’m chaotic and anxious a lot and learning how to stop and breathe through your videos as an inspiration has really helped. At least to us, you make the things you go through seem like learning experiences and just that method of dealing and that way of thinking really is valuable. I’ve identified as a witch for 11 years but I’ve never had the ability to focus and breathe and ground myself.
    Idk if you ever feel exhausted from what you do (even though I’m sure you love it) but I wanted to let you know how much you’ve changed my life. I know that sounds corny but I’m serious.
    I’m really nervous about this week and being around the world again but I’m being more positive and I’m sure I’ll be okay. Thanks for teaching me how to be better, even if you didn’t know you did.

    You mentioning EDS made my mind lowkey scream in excitement that someone within the witch community that I watch also has it. My diagnosis isn't 100% confirmed, as in I haven't had the genetic testing done yet because the world is insane, but my geneticist does strongly believe I have it. I don't know why my brain got so excited at that, probably more due to me being sleep deprived, lol. But I do feel your EDS struggle.

      @Myth Tree I... I honestly don't want to be rude here, but don't ever tell someone that their disease or condition doesn't exist. Honestly, I do not have the words to respond to this. But it is a condition. A condition that is present from birth. A condition that causes a lot of suffering.
      Please refrain from telling people you don't believe their condition exists, because not only does it make a person who already suffers on a daily basis feel horrible, but honestly it helps aiding in the abelist mindset of "oh, you're just doing something wrong, If you do xyz you'll be cured!"

I am very often told my diagnosis' don't exist from people who don't know any better, and I do apologise I took your comment that way if that is not what you intended.

    I know this may be the stupidest comment but I’m a nurse and regularly use that exact feeding bag and pump for my patients. If you ever get annoyed with how long it takes to prime the bag with the pump, you can hold down the teal rubber on the cassette of the feeding bag and push the formula through the tubing. Takes like five seconds over the minute it takes with priming it with the pump. Idk thought it might be helpful.

      The Green Witch I’m glad it was helpful!! Also realized it might be confusing but when I said hold down the real rubber, a better wording is pinching the teal tubing on the cassette together. It might take a couple tries to get it to work, especially on a new feeding bag since they are pretty stiff but it does work.

    Ah! I got surprised by the Skyrim question but in the most positive way possible. If you liked Skyrim (oh and so did I!) you might want to learn about the Witcher 3 game. The Witcher universe started with books (which I highly recommend to read if you can/want). The first 2 witcher games are a little old and clunky but you don't absolutely need to play them before you play Witcher 3. It helps but it's not absolutely necessary. I personally only played Witcher 3 and it was great. You might get a similar peaceful vibe from the environments there too ;)

    I feel really drawn to your channel and your personality. I'm going through a hard time atm with health worries and I bought some things today to help me on a spiritual level like a good luck spell talisman and some crystals for healing and protection. I've always had an affinity with nature and I'm very interested in Witchcraft and Wicca and all of those types of things. I've not really ever delved into it much but I feel that I'm in need of positive energy and more enlightenment in my life. I'm not religious but I would say I'm most connected to things like Buddhism, Paganism and Wiccan philosophies. I'm really enjoying ur channel very much and I think this could be the start of something for me. I'm from the UK and I'm fortunate to be close to a place that is deep routed in Wicca and Witchcraft history which is The New Forest (I'm sure most witches knows of this place given its history) I would like to meet people who are interested in the same things and I've always had this yearning to be a part of something for myself and with others. I really feel this could be my path and I'm very grateful to have found your channel. You seem like a very kind and down to earth soul and I feel very relaxed by your videos which is what I need atm so thank you. I will look forward to watching more of your videos and figuring out the right path for myself : ) (I wrote this b4 I saw about the EDS and I just wanted to say that I really admire how open and honest u have been about it, Its very eye opening and I'm sure you are helping lots of people with your channel for many different reasons by sharing parts of your life story with us
