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!
@@Ayat_AliI listen to her shows. Plenty of info there and A Calmness thats magnetic. I JUST became a witch Myself. I m a 40 yr Xchristian and just find this.way of life FITTING for.me. Loving Earth, Mushroom Foraging, gathering edibles from nature and Creating Sustanance from them.. Its The closeness To the Earth that draws me
Speaking of "beautiful", has anybody else noticed that witches tend to look YEARS younger than they actually are as contrasted to the general population?
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 personally do not have Ehler's Danlos. I have the illness Endometriosis though and I understand how isolating having an illness can be. I am currently a "baby witch" or a beginner in witchcraft. I'm glad this made you feel seen and heard. 💗
I am also a witch with ehlers Danlos and my gp is progressing everyday. It feels good to be reminded I'm not alone because in the world outside of the internet I was by myself.
I HAVE A FEEDING TUBE TOO!!! I actually have two, one in my stomach and one in my small intestine. I KNEW there was a reason I felt drawn to your videos!! You go girl!!
your films bring all the hygge, cozy vibes! I left my fast, hustling life in NYC to move to the French countryside a few years ago and now create slow living films of my life in France. I started my channel a month ago and was so inspired by your channel and Fairyland Cottage! We need more wholesome artistry on youtube :) Thank you for sharing your light with us.
Oh that sounds interesting -i will have to check you out! I'm a big fairyland cottage fan too and I also just moved back to the countryside and started my channel 😆
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 !
Out of all the other Witchy TH-camrs I've watched, you're my favourite. Your lifestyle was something I've always wanted to live before I've learned about the Magick part. Your videos are very relaxing and informative, and I find that I take your words to heart, so thank you for living the life you enjoy.
I am a student naturopath and herbalist with a chronic illness which has been really isolating, so your videos are providing me with so much comfort, joy and inspiration. Thank you!
...And she plays Skyrim, too. *Girl crush* I can imagine you as the sort of player who has to stop and harvest each herb you pass. You should try the Dragonage series, as well. ;) On another note, every one of your videos is an essential dose of peacefulness for me, thank you for sharing so much of yourself with all of us. xox
What a fabulous Q & A! It was nice to get to learn a bit about you 💕 Q: Do you live in your cottage alone, or with family? Q: Would you ever do a cottage tour? Thanks for sharing your gifts with us 💕
It's incredible, how I "met" your channel just when I was strongly feeling that I need to find a way to live more in the present, with intention/intuition and generally more true to myself and in my own pace. Thank you for everything you do!
I have Crohn's disease and I completely understand the whole my stomach sucks at it's job thing. I'm sorry you're having to deal with such a difficult disease. Thank you for sharing.
I love how calming this video is, you're really inspiring me to live a more "green" life in small ways. 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! Edit: a word
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 find it very interesting that people would get mad about honey being used. 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.
You are an amazing, courageous, authentic, creative, inspiring lady and I am so happy to have "met" you online, through a very dear friend. Thank you so much for all you share, wonderful! With love and blessings, Susan XXX
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
I appreciate your level headed grasp of witchcraft. Not a common thing to find online. Most channels are a lot of teenage "witches" playing at being experts. I can hear your conviction for practicing the craft in your voice. Blessed be!
I have just had a significant whole body feeling of warmth and connection that I am on the right path. Once you mentioned your EDS... I also have hEDS. The sign was significant. 💛
I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you've gotten judged for not being vegan - the idea of it is nice, but it's just not practical for everyone. I personally have greatly reduced the amount of animal products I eat, and certain non-food animal products I buy, but I will never be vegan.
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. 🥺😔
i used to be vegan but sadly had to go back to eating meat (oddly enough, for health reasons lol). it's not my favorite thing, but it is what it is and i always remember to live in gratitude while eating my meals. i never understood the judgment surrounding people's personal diets. the hostility in some communities surrounding the ways and what we eat is so strange.
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.
Same . I reduced my consumption of animal products but will probably never be vegan , I lean more towards vegetarianism. Veganism is a beautiful path but it doesn't work for everyone 💜
You’ve put a lot of things into perspective for me, with irritable bowel syndrome and a strict low fodmap diet I have to stick to to function “normally” without any symptoms. Your optimism and faith is inspiring and I love that you found a way to, to a degree, take part in social activities revolving around food through making it, despite not being able to eat it.
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.
I'm sending you positive thoughts, feelings and vibes. I don't have EDS but know several people IRL and online who do. I do have some other chronic health conditions and as someone said above, it can make you feel isolated. But it's lovely channels like this that can give us a connection with others and share and feel not so alone. Blessed be.
For me it's helpful to know others have bodies that do what mine does. 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.
I live in a pretty urban area, so honestly, my favorite part of Skyrim and Oblivion is just traveling aimlessly across fields and mountains as soft ambient music plays in the background. Such a good way to unwind and de-stress. I'm really glad to have found your videos as well.🌼
I’m so glad that I found you up here. Life’s challenges aren’t preventing you from helping others. May you feel well, and continue your path with this contagious energy that pulls so many to you. You are a blessing and a bright light.
I have advanced rheumatoid disease and i have gastroparesis too. I got sick at 14 and im 35 now so its been a long road. Its very hard bc i feel the same way about food. I love to cook and create and inject love and magic into my meals for my family. Even though i cant eat it. I just want to take a moment to let you know that someone understands. All my love and support. 💙
New fan for life here! ❤ Thank you so much for sharing and being real. You are an amazing and inspiring human. Now I’m going to go check out herbalist school! I had no idea they existed. ❤
I have Ehlers Danlos and GP as well - thank you for sharing how it affects you and your practice. Im kinda just starting out figuring out my path in witchcraft and seeing others living with what i live with makes me feel more at home. Thank you
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.
Annabel, you are truly very courageous. ❤️ It's so inspiring to see you overcome so many obstacles in your life and still be so calm and peaceful. 👍 Keep up the good work. ✔️💟💕🌟💯♾️💛
WoW this is somthing new for me. I am a empath, a child of god. Mother Earth is my energy, as a empath I give others my energy and nature is my energy. It’s cool seeing how others use nature and life.
I have hEDS too! I don't have a tube but I do have an ileostomy. It was really... validating to see another person with a medical intervention who I admire for making great, relaxing videos which I turn to in my dark times. Thank you!
Beautiful! Thank you for your calming presence and willingness to share your life and practices with all of us. I would love to see more Q&As in the future!
I can't imagine the suffering you experience from your illness. You are strong and brave! Thank you for honoring us by sharing that intimate part of your life. And - yay for Skyrim! lol love that someone asked about that
Wow Annie I've recently discovered you & I'm in absolute awe of you. You've arrived at a perfect time for me. What a beautiful soul you are. Your art is absolutely stunning. And the messages you share nourish everyone they reach. You have quickly become an important part of my calming rituals to help me manage my anxiety & wet my fix of nature, witchy ways & see reminded that truly lovely, authentic people exist. Your voice & energy really soothes my soul. I'm so sorry for all your struggles you have faced. Thank you for sharing your truth & ring courageously vulnerable. You have created a safe space here & I applaud you for how you've risen up, reclaimed your life & cultivated your magical powers to not only benefit yourself but all of us too. Your followers seem so lovely from the messages I've seen. Thank you for the gifts you share! I can't wait to follow & support your journey from here. Sending love & light to you 💖
My father-in-law, a close friend, and a co-worker all have Ehlers-Danlos, so I'm sending a lot of love and light your way. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for this video, I had another bad therapy session today, I'm even thinking of quitting and finding a new therapist and the stress of that idea has been gnawing at me. It's lovely to sit and watch this video and feel like I'm safe again
Ty for your story. I'm sitting here in the dumps with chronic pain and I'm watching you with such grace and positive attitude about your condition that it makes me want to do better about my attitude. We each have our hurdles but we're not defined by them right?! Was vegan for 5 years until I found out I was pernicious anemic so don't feel bad or have to justify to critics. You're doing whats best for YOU!
You've been a huge inspiration in creating my practice. I think a part of it is that you also love Skyrim! (The Dragon Age series is another love of mine!)
I know that you've moved away from speaking about your chronic illness in more recent videos, and I completely respect that. I just wanted to thank you for sharing what you have with us about your EDS. I followed you for your witchy teachings and vibe, but I have seriously appreciated the guidance, as someone newly diagnosed with hEDS. My ring splints have helped with subluxations and pain, and I have begun trying to manage my symptoms with the help of herbal allies. Many thanks and well wishes! Can't wait for your next videos.
your answer about paths is so spot on! ive been doing witchcraft for several years and i still cant, and dont think i could ever choose one specific realm to work in.
I love how you manage and stay positive despite the condition.. I suffer from herniated disk and the emotional/mental part was the most difficult. But spiritualism made me see it in a different light and that is what I see in you. I love that you are open with it ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your personal self with us. I myself have an auto immune disease that causes lots of gastric and arthritis issue. I had it all my life so, I understand the roller coaster of the good and bad days and weirdness you mentioned. It’s great to see someone so vibrant and full of love, that I’m sure struggles to maintain on a regular basis.
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.
Ohh thank you for this! I am a relatively new follower of your peaceful, very informative, videos, and have wondered a few of these things myself. Sweetheart I want to tell you I love you for the quiet sweet spirit you are. I am sorry you've got so much to deal with, physically. Glad you've got it all handled beautifully. I've been through one stroke and have a pof in my heart, so I'm on blood thinners forever. I'm just beginning my herbal journey. I feel like it would help a ton with my mental state and keeping busy, to begin making natural remedies. Thank you for this information. Blessing, Shan.
watching this video was lovely. You have such a lovely warm, calm and kind aura. Keep doing what you are doing. I had a good friend with EDS who sadly passed away. She was just as lovely and strong as you! I have another friend who also has it. Thank you for being so open. I know it's not easy. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
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.
Just one more spoonie (chronic illness) voice chiming in to tell you that your choices are valid. No one should shame you for your food choices and no one should assume to know your particular circumstances. Love and Light.
I find watching your TH-cam is super comforting. I am a baby witch so to speak and I absolutely love how you break everything down super simple. Thank you so much!
I already loved your videos, but now that I know you have GP/ED, I love you even more! I have Crohn's. For the first month after my diagnosis I was on TPN. Since we're nerds, we called it Ketracel White. Lol
You are beautiful, amazing and incredibly strong woman. I admire you and what you do, and wish you all the luck and health in this world. Blessed be 🙏🏻💚💚💚
What a lovely video - it felt so nice getting to know you a little better through this q&a and I’m so grateful to be able to enjoy some quiet time with you via this platform. Keep up the beautiful work!
The insight into your soul, your spirit, your heart, your story...I’m inspired and moved by your journey and I just wanted to share that! Excited to keep learning and following! Blessings to you always!
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!"
@Myth Tree I was trying very hard not to be rude, I apologise if you took it that way. The way I read your comment was that you didn't believe that the condition existed. I have never been on a plant based diet. But I do apologise you took my response as rude. 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've been binge watching trying to understand why she calls herself a witch. It seems like a BEAUTIFUL aesthetically pleasing cooking with herbs/herbalism channel 👀
You too? I thought the same dear, a herbalist, but i did not want to hurt her feelings. 🤭 She seems so tender. I am, a medium, with medium ancestors and one of the strongest black witches, in the family, in europe. Its serious work, and not particulary sweet nor herbaling. Its, not what she portayes. Love Jasmina 🖤
@@jasmina5445 well it shouldn't hurt her feelings. Hope not because she's lovely & the channel is beautiful. Just doesn't seem like a witch, more of just an herbalist 😊 Blessings
Baby witch here. Leaning into green witchery because I've always been into nature worship and even follow the ideals of Cernunnos, the Stag Lord. Your videos calm me and make me see that my progress in self-discovery, no matter how small right now, is something worth working towards. Thank you for being here! Love from the Philippines!
This video made me very happy. This is because you're one of the few content creators I watch frequently with Jessica Kellegren Fozard also being one and knowing you have ehlers danlos just like me honestly makes me feel so happy. I've always looked up to your lifestyle. To know that you handle somewhat of the same struggles I do just makes me feel more hopeful that one day I'll be able to achieve that type of lifestyle.
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.
oh my god you are my most favorite person on the entire planet ever! I cannot tell you how much I absolutely adore you and your tip! That is the one thing I have despised the most about this entire situation! and I could never find a way to make it go faster until now! You have just saved me so much of my future time! Thank You! You are so beyond 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
Oh my god I have EDS as well! I also have POTS/MCAS... wow it’s so comforting that there’s another witch out there dealing with it too. I feel so guilty because I love the idea of being completely dependent on earth healing but it’s not a choice for me and my port has changed and saved my life so many times. Learning to be okay with that and focus on what I love anyways ❤️
I am crying because you are so young and peaceful and full of life in your videos and the baking video I watched was so pretty and looked yummy (but I can't have all that sugar) and then now I just heard you say you can't eat. I'm sorry isn't the right word because you aren't sad. I don't know how to say it- I feel bummed for you on that one issue, but duh to me because it hasn't stopped you in any way that I have seen in all the videos I've been watching. You are very strong and I know you will inspire so many people who have illnesses as well as inspire people regarding flowers, art, baking... THANK YOU, stay safe, take care. You rock!
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. ❤️
Hi, I am a newbie to witchcraft andi ws just wondering if you had any tips or helpful information :)))
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 🖤
Same. I’m a fellow zebra and practitioner.
Also a fellow zebra witch here. I feel the same.
I personally do not have Ehler's Danlos. I have the illness Endometriosis though and I understand how isolating having an illness can be. I am currently a "baby witch" or a beginner in witchcraft. I'm glad this made you feel seen and heard. 💗
Same here. Yep eds makes you solitary. Only severly injured or other chronically ill people get it.
I am also a witch with ehlers Danlos and my gp is progressing everyday. It feels good to be reminded I'm not alone because in the world outside of the internet I was by myself.
She mentions Skyrim:
Attentive listening with happy squeals
praise talos !

What is skyrim?

You have such a softness about your energy! Very much like grass swaying in the wind 🤍
Aww 💗 yes that describes her perfectly
Andrea Cathalina indeed!
I HAVE A FEEDING TUBE TOO!!! I actually have two, one in my stomach and one in my small intestine. I KNEW there was a reason I felt drawn to your videos!! You go girl!!
your films bring all the hygge, cozy vibes! I left my fast, hustling life in NYC to move to the French countryside a few years ago and now create slow living films of my life in France. I started my channel a month ago and was so inspired by your channel and Fairyland Cottage! We need more wholesome artistry on youtube :) Thank you for sharing your light with us.
You might check out Girl in Calico, she has a beautiful channel too.
@@janreichard3324 LOVE Girl in Calico! Just discovered her a few weeks ago!
Oh that sounds interesting -i will have to check you out! I'm a big fairyland cottage fan too and I also just moved back to the countryside and started my channel 😆
@@Thewitchescookery how wonderful!! LOVE your channel! My husband also loves your channel as well!
i can’t wait till i move out to london to study and then settle in the british countryside
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 !
Out of all the other Witchy TH-camrs I've watched, you're my favourite. Your lifestyle was something I've always wanted to live before I've learned about the Magick part. Your videos are very relaxing and informative, and I find that I take your words to heart, so thank you for living the life you enjoy.
the video: *calm and very cozy*
me when i see the upload: *s c r e a m i n g i n 5 d i f f e r e n t l a n g u a g e s*
Your answer about making the food in order to be part of the communal experience was so beautiful ❤
Blessed be, Bex!

I am a student naturopath and herbalist with a chronic illness which has been really isolating, so your videos are providing me with so much comfort, joy and inspiration. Thank you!
...And she plays Skyrim, too. *Girl crush* I can imagine you as the sort of player who has to stop and harvest each herb you pass. You should try the Dragonage series, as well. ;)
On another note, every one of your videos is an essential dose of peacefulness for me, thank you for sharing so much of yourself with all of us. xox
What a fabulous Q & A!
It was nice to get to learn a bit about you 💕
Q: Do you live in your cottage alone, or with family?
Q: Would you ever do a cottage tour?
Thanks for sharing your gifts with us 💕
It's incredible, how I "met" your channel just when I was strongly feeling that I need to find a way to live more in the present, with intention/intuition and generally more true to myself and in my own pace. Thank you for everything you do!
I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome too! thank you for sharing that with us.
I have Crohn's disease and I completely understand the whole my stomach sucks at it's job thing. I'm sorry you're having to deal with such a difficult disease. Thank you for sharing.
I love how calming this video is, you're really inspiring me to live a more "green" life in small ways.
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!
Edit: a word
The vocabulary this woman uses is so uplifting and makes me want to learn more about what comes up on my own path in life
I will eat double for you... omg. I cant imagen not being able to eat food! It's a little heart breaking. You deal with it so gracefully
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 find it very interesting that people would get mad about honey being used. 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 must say that your condition and story about it really broke my heart. You're amazing, and I respect you for being you despite it!
You are an amazing, courageous, authentic, creative, inspiring lady and I am so happy to have "met" you online, through a very dear friend. Thank you so much for all you share, wonderful! With love and blessings, Susan XXX
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
I appreciate your level headed grasp of witchcraft. Not a common thing to find online. Most channels are a lot of teenage "witches" playing at being experts. I can hear your conviction for practicing the craft in your voice. Blessed be!
I have just had a significant whole body feeling of warmth and connection that I am on the right path. Once you mentioned your EDS... I also have hEDS. The sign was significant. 💛
I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you've gotten judged for not being vegan - the idea of it is nice, but it's just not practical for everyone. I personally have greatly reduced the amount of animal products I eat, and certain non-food animal products I buy, but I will never be vegan.
Same for me, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one...
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. 🥺😔
i used to be vegan but sadly had to go back to eating meat (oddly enough, for health reasons lol). it's not my favorite thing, but it is what it is and i always remember to live in gratitude while eating my meals. i never understood the judgment surrounding people's personal diets. the hostility in some communities surrounding the ways and what we eat is so strange.
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.
Same . I reduced my consumption of animal products but will probably never be vegan , I lean more towards vegetarianism. Veganism is a beautiful path but it doesn't work for everyone 💜
You’ve put a lot of things into perspective for me, with irritable bowel syndrome and a strict low fodmap diet I have to stick to to function “normally” without any symptoms. Your optimism and faith is inspiring and I love that you found a way to, to a degree, take part in social activities revolving around food through making it, despite not being able to eat it.
Garden tour? HOUSE TOUR??? Clothing making diy?
I just love watching videos about witches and witchcraft I feel a sense of peace and calm and happiness .
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.
I'm sending you positive thoughts, feelings and vibes. I don't have EDS but know several people IRL and online who do. I do have some other chronic health conditions and as someone said above, it can make you feel isolated. But it's lovely channels like this that can give us a connection with others and share and feel not so alone. Blessed be.
For me it's helpful to know others have bodies that do what mine does.
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.
I live in a pretty urban area, so honestly, my favorite part of Skyrim and Oblivion is just traveling aimlessly across fields and mountains as soft ambient music plays in the background. Such a good way to unwind and de-stress. I'm really glad to have found your videos as well.🌼
I’m so glad that I found you up here. Life’s challenges aren’t preventing you from helping others. May you feel well, and continue your path with this contagious energy that pulls so many to you. You are a blessing and a bright light.
I have advanced rheumatoid disease and i have gastroparesis too. I got sick at 14 and im 35 now so its been a long road. Its very hard bc i feel the same way about food. I love to cook and create and inject love and magic into my meals for my family. Even though i cant eat it. I just want to take a moment to let you know that someone understands. All my love and support. 💙
Do you believe in fairies? Have you worked with them or found one?
New fan for life here! ❤ Thank you so much for sharing and being real. You are an amazing and inspiring human. Now I’m going to go check out herbalist school! I had no idea they existed. ❤
I have Ehlers Danlos and GP as well - thank you for sharing how it affects you and your practice. Im kinda just starting out figuring out my path in witchcraft and seeing others living with what i live with makes me feel more at home. Thank you
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.
Gale LaScala I highly recommend Rosemary Gladstar’s teachings on herbalism! “The God Mother of American Herbalism”!
@@TheKatherine1958 absolutely. Rosemary is a wonderful teacher. I live working for her. She's such a gentle, generous soul.
Annabel, you are truly very courageous. ❤️ It's so inspiring to see you overcome so many obstacles in your life and still be so calm and peaceful. 👍 Keep up the good work. ✔️💟💕🌟💯♾️💛
WoW this is somthing new for me. I am a empath, a child of god. Mother Earth is my energy, as a empath I give others my energy and nature is my energy. It’s cool seeing how others use nature and life.
Who would've thought that being a witch could be such a beautiful thing. It seems so peaceful ❤
I have hEDS too! I don't have a tube but I do have an ileostomy. It was really... validating to see another person with a medical intervention who I admire for making great, relaxing videos which I turn to in my dark times. Thank you!
Beautiful! Thank you for your calming presence and willingness to share your life and practices with all of us. I would love to see more Q&As in the future!
I love the calming atmosphere you bring to my day while watching your videos, thank you!! 💚🌱
You are a remarkable human being with such gentleness and fortitude. Thank you for putting yourself out there.
I’m so sorry about your illness. Sending all the love and good vibes to you💖✨✨✨✨✨
You have such a beautiful energy! I'm honestly so touched simply by your existence on this Earth. Thank you for coming down here!
I can't imagine the suffering you experience from your illness. You are strong and brave! Thank you for honoring us by sharing that intimate part of your life. And - yay for Skyrim! lol love that someone asked about that
Wow Annie I've recently discovered you & I'm in absolute awe of you. You've arrived at a perfect time for me. What a beautiful soul you are. Your art is absolutely stunning. And the messages you share nourish everyone they reach. You have quickly become an important part of my calming rituals to help me manage my anxiety & wet my fix of nature, witchy ways & see reminded that truly lovely, authentic people exist. Your voice & energy really soothes my soul. I'm so sorry for all your struggles you have faced. Thank you for sharing your truth & ring courageously vulnerable. You have created a safe space here & I applaud you for how you've risen up, reclaimed your life & cultivated your magical powers to not only benefit yourself but all of us too. Your followers seem so lovely from the messages I've seen. Thank you for the gifts you share! I can't wait to follow & support your journey from here. Sending love & light to you 💖
My sister has the same set up for her button. And the exact same feeding pump. It's so cool to see other people that have similar things.
My father-in-law, a close friend, and a co-worker all have Ehlers-Danlos, so I'm sending a lot of love and light your way. Thank you so much for sharing.
I do love the natural light in your videos! It’s a much warmer vibe!
I think you're voice is just so relaxing and everything about you're videos is just so relaxing and they also very helpful at least to me
Awe that is beautiful how you look at your struggles, and make them your own powers
Thank you for this video, I had another bad therapy session today, I'm even thinking of quitting and finding a new therapist and the stress of that idea has been gnawing at me. It's lovely to sit and watch this video and feel like I'm safe again
I hope you find a peaceful space for yourself really soon and all goes well in your therapist search 💕
@@catobrien837 Thank you ❤
Ty for your story. I'm sitting here in the dumps with chronic pain and I'm watching you with such grace and positive attitude about your condition that it makes me want to do better about my attitude. We each have our hurdles but we're not defined by them right?! Was vegan for 5 years until I found out I was pernicious anemic so don't feel bad or have to justify to critics. You're doing whats best for YOU!
You've been a huge inspiration in creating my practice. I think a part of it is that you also love Skyrim! (The Dragon Age series is another love of mine!)
I am binge watching your videos today... I need their peace and serenity❤,thank you
Inspiring and beautiful video, so calming and just amazing, I love your energy, think you so much for this! God bless you.
I know that you've moved away from speaking about your chronic illness
in more recent videos, and I completely respect that. I just wanted to
thank you for sharing what you have with us about your EDS. I followed
you for your witchy teachings and vibe, but I have seriously appreciated
the guidance, as someone newly diagnosed with hEDS. My ring splints
have helped with subluxations and pain, and I have begun trying to
manage my symptoms with the help of herbal allies. Many thanks and well
wishes! Can't wait for your next videos.
your answer about paths is so spot on! ive been doing witchcraft for several years and i still cant, and dont think i could ever choose one specific realm to work in.
You are a very strong maiden witch and I love you for it! Blessed be!
I have EDS too. And I’m a Witch as well. I’m glad I found you!
💚✌🏼-Samantha
Oh! And I’m also hyper mobile. One of my daughters wears ring splints too! Lol.. funny.
Small world!
I love how you manage and stay positive despite the condition.. I suffer from herniated disk and the emotional/mental part was the most difficult. But spiritualism made me see it in a different light and that is what I see in you. I love that you are open with it ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your personal self with us. I myself have an auto immune disease that causes lots of gastric and arthritis issue. I had it all my life so, I understand the roller coaster of the good and bad days and weirdness you mentioned. It’s great to see someone so vibrant and full of love, that I’m sure struggles to maintain on a regular basis.
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.
Ohh thank you for this! I am a relatively new follower of your peaceful, very informative, videos, and have wondered a few of these things myself. Sweetheart I want to tell you I love you for the quiet sweet spirit you are. I am sorry you've got so much to deal with, physically. Glad you've got it all handled beautifully. I've been through one stroke and have a pof in my heart, so I'm on blood thinners forever. I'm just beginning my herbal journey. I feel like it would help a ton with my mental state and keeping busy, to begin making natural remedies. Thank you for this information. Blessing, Shan.
A beautiful video, you have given me much to think about, regarding reconnection to the land and life ❤️🙏❤️
Managing sleep problems, that's just what I need. Insomniac here, running on an hour of sleep last night.
watching this video was lovely. You have such a lovely warm, calm and kind aura. Keep doing what you are doing. I had a good friend with EDS who sadly passed away. She was just as lovely and strong as you! I have another friend who also has it. Thank you for being so open. I know it's not easy. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
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.
Just one more spoonie (chronic illness) voice chiming in to tell you that your choices are valid. No one should shame you for your food choices and no one should assume to know your particular circumstances. Love and Light.
I find watching your TH-cam is super comforting. I am a baby witch so to speak and I absolutely love how you break everything down super simple. Thank you so much!
Hey there! I too have EDS too. I've found that regularly consuming peppermint and ginger for my stomach issues helps. You're definitely not alone. 💚
I already loved your videos, but now that I know you have GP/ED, I love you even more! I have Crohn's. For the first month after my diagnosis I was on TPN. Since we're nerds, we called it Ketracel White. Lol
You are beautiful, amazing and incredibly strong woman. I admire you and what you do, and wish you all the luck and health in this world. Blessed be 🙏🏻💚💚💚
What a lovely video - it felt so nice getting to know you a little better through this q&a and I’m so grateful to be able to enjoy some quiet time with you via this platform. Keep up the beautiful work!
Just learning that you love Skyrim probably makes you my new favorite witch youtuber!
As someone who works in the game design industry, hearing you gush about skyrim (even though I didnt work on that game) it made me smile.
More Q+A's please. It's so much fun learning more about you and your craft.
I think the natural light is an important aspect of the beautiful aesthetic of your videos. Thank you for sharing, blessed be.
The insight into your soul, your spirit, your heart, your story...I’m inspired and moved by your journey and I just wanted to share that! Excited to keep learning and following! Blessings to you always!
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!"
@Myth Tree I was trying very hard not to be rude, I apologise if you took it that way. The way I read your comment was that you didn't believe that the condition existed. I have never been on a plant based diet. But I do apologise you took my response as rude. 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've been binge watching trying to understand why she calls herself a witch. It seems like a BEAUTIFUL aesthetically pleasing cooking with herbs/herbalism channel 👀
You too? I thought the same dear, a herbalist, but i did not want to hurt her feelings. 🤭 She seems so tender.
I am, a medium, with medium ancestors and one of the strongest black witches, in the family, in europe. Its serious work, and not particulary sweet nor herbaling. Its, not what she portayes.
Love Jasmina 🖤
@@jasmina5445 well it shouldn't hurt her feelings. Hope not because she's lovely & the channel is beautiful. Just doesn't seem like a witch, more of just an herbalist 😊 Blessings
Baby witch here. Leaning into green witchery because I've always been into nature worship and even follow the ideals of Cernunnos, the Stag Lord. Your videos calm me and make me see that my progress in self-discovery, no matter how small right now, is something worth working towards. Thank you for being here! Love from the Philippines!
A little bit of everything. Just perfect. Thank you for your peaceful light and for sharing it with all of us. 💜
OMG Skyrim is my favorite game as well! It's inspired me to follow my Wiccan path, and to add Norse/Viking influences into it
This video made me very happy. This is because you're one of the few content creators I watch frequently with Jessica Kellegren Fozard also being one and knowing you have ehlers danlos just like me honestly makes me feel so happy. I've always looked up to your lifestyle. To know that you handle somewhat of the same struggles I do just makes me feel more hopeful that one day I'll be able to achieve that type of lifestyle.
I was recently diagnosed with EDS. Thank you for sharing that you have it.
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.
oh my god you are my most favorite person on the entire planet ever! I cannot tell you how much I absolutely adore you and your tip! That is the one thing I have despised the most about this entire situation! and I could never find a way to make it go faster until now! You have just saved me so much of my future time! Thank You! You are so beyond 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.
Thank you so much, I really cannot tell you how much I appreciate it!
Another lovely video! Would love any q&a or anything else. It is truly the highlight of my day when you post a new video. 🌸🌹🌺🌷🌻
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
I have heard about Ehlers Danlos syndrome and I know that it's very painful, I wish you to deal with this in comfort and warmth for the longest time
Oh my god I have EDS as well! I also have POTS/MCAS... wow it’s so comforting that there’s another witch out there dealing with it too. I feel so guilty because I love the idea of being completely dependent on earth healing but it’s not a choice for me and my port has changed and saved my life so many times. Learning to be okay with that and focus on what I love anyways ❤️
I am crying because you are so young and peaceful and full of life in your videos and the baking video I watched was so pretty and looked yummy (but I can't have all that sugar) and then now I just heard you say you can't eat. I'm sorry isn't the right word because you aren't sad. I don't know how to say it- I feel bummed for you on that one issue, but duh to me because it hasn't stopped you in any way that I have seen in all the videos I've been watching. You are very strong and I know you will inspire so many people who have illnesses as well as inspire people regarding flowers, art, baking... THANK YOU, stay safe, take care. You rock!
you made me cry, I am so sorry to hear about your condition :( I love your videos
