When I was around 18 I went to a meditation retreat in upstate NY and was so struck by the powerful & angelic vibe of the woman who owned the space. She had been a High Priestess and many other things, and she told me "It doesn't matter who you're praying to, as long as you pray." It's been 9 years & I still think of it regularly
You had me at doing nothing! When you said it I just felt so represented. My altar is partly thought of as a cathedral inspiring this awe of being in a space large enough for all of you. This is doing nothing at its most healing. Thank you for the beautiful glimpse into another traveller's path. :)
Nuno Atalaia I have a picture of the inside of a local cathedral at the center of my altar for this very purpose! 🌟It is a wondrous feeling.. simply allowing oneself to be in the space.
I love that you started with “nothing”. I am a big fan of doing nothing at the altar. I sit, I drink tea, I light some incense and I just *be* for a while. Occasionally I do find myself spontaneously pottering, or singing, or humming, or just chatting randomly to my deities, but not always. It makes me feel incredibly centred and definitely does create a sense of locking in to my witchiness and my practice.
For me personally I have noticed (since I am German) that the German word for "prayer" (Gebet) is very connected to Christianity in my mind so it feels weird to use it BUT the first time I heard the word "pray" was in "Eat. Pray. Love" and I love that movie and so it never had any negative connotation and the first time I heard the word "prayer" was within a pagan context and so it sounds like something exciting to me and not like weird church stuff, which is what I associate with the German word "Gebet". So maybe for people who speak more than one language try using a word in your other language(s) and see how that feels.
My top ten altar-side activities. 1. Speak to my late brother and nephew. 2. Storytelling; telling my brother and nephew some sort of story. 3. Practice the ocarina (a recent thing). 4. Put on the altar lights (I can't have candles in the flat). 5. Clean and dust, polish the shiny stuff and rearrange. 6. Decorate with new stuff and remove old stuff that feels stale. 7. Meditate. 8. Study. 9. Cleanse. 10. Stand still and sense the atmosphere and mood of the world around me.
Oh I loved hearing all about what you do at your altar. You are fascinating Kelly and helped me to save my life. It has taken just over a year but I am no longer on medication for my depression and I have so much to be grateful for. Thank you and blessed be.
Lesa Fowers congrats babe! I took depression pills(generic Zoloft) for awhile and I do feel they helped but I didn’t like some of the physical side effects I was recieving so I stopped taking them
You're brilliant and you are my superhero. Thank you for sharing all of your grand knowledge with us. And yes, we use "pottering about" in the US, but it's an old term my Irish gran used. I use because I learned it from her. Blessings
In the Midwest US, depending on the area, some will call it fussing as well. I noticed that term is used among the more senior generations. Like, "Mom stop fussing over that Christmas tree. The ornament placement is just fine."
Thanks for teaching me the phrase "pottering about". My mom does that all the time, she just walks around and turns decorations a slightly different way, and I honestly never quite understood. But it makes sense now! I'll potter about more myself now. ;)
love that " you dont need to go and witch you can go and sit there" i often sit at mine and just think or space and think that i should be "doing something" but often just sit its nice to just be sometimes.
I'm so excited for the book of mirrors video! Your journaling and art witch videos are my personal favorite. I would love to see a video on scripting as well.
This is an awesome video, something about it feels like you were tapping into a new energy here.. it just felt like more. :) I would love to see a few vids honestly. 1. Chanting, how you found it / what you use it for / favorite chants. 2. Scripting. 3. Daily pages. Loved the video!!
I would love more videos on your altar practice & how you have witched your way through hard times in life. For sure on chronic pain and comparing yourself to other witches on social media and how you chase the witchy blues away. Thank u :) lovely video. Blessed be . Lol I love the way u hm and them drink out of your cup :)
I think it was very interesting to hear about different aspects of magickal/manifesting workings that I don't normally hear about such as the scripting. I had to chuckle when you did the Ong Namo Guru Dev chant and then afterwards said " Fuckin' luv it!" :D I always love seeing your quirky and unique accessories like the necklace you were wearing in this video and I love the whimsical pattern on your blouse. The deities you work with are interesting. I don't normally don't see or hear much about working with either of them but in my earlier days I used to work with Mary. I did the rosary prayers and I even wore a scapular. So from my early days with these practices I don't find it odd to see when a person incorporates Mary or other Christian elements into their magickal practices and workings even if others might. And having the mirror on your altar reminded me of how I used to keep a small mirror on my altar to reflect the negative away. I had forgotten I used to do that!
As a fellow chaote, it felt very reassuring to not and go "same" to most of these - but done at the alter in very different capacities and angles. When you pointed it out, I have noticed I sometimes fall out of practice due to feeling the pressure of not "doing" anything while there. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Kelly I struggle with mental health issues.. often.. I’m struggling in life currently right now. Your personality helps me so much. I don’t really have any friends to hang out with and it’s like having a friend in my room I can relate to.. I’m emotionally mentally drained.. just drained.
Yes, a special video on scripting and another one on mirror work, please! Also, thank you for demystifying the time spent at the altar and infusing it with a beautiful, everyday sacredness and joy. It might help me deal with a dilemma I am facing at the moment - due to severe chronic back pain, I cannot sit on the floor for long, so a month and a half ago I bought a beautiful writing table, built high shelves on top of it, filled them with my Goddess "stuff", decorated it elaborately, created a multi-level altar that still takes my breath away - and never sat at it for one minute. I am still looking at it and admiring it from afar, notebooks and incense aon it ready, and yet - a ritual while sitting on a chair? A circle around a table, while sitting AT the table? "No, no, no, very unwitchy", my mind screams. I just cannot break through this idea that it is not a "proper" altar, or a "proper" circle, or a "proper" ritual. (I literally started to cry out of shere frustration now...) Maybe this video can help me to finally sit at my lovely Hecatean realm tonight, and build my own way of working at it, of finally feeling it's sanctity. Honestly, it wouldn't be the first time KellyAnne has turned my understanding of magick upside down and helped me make it more joyfull and more personal... Blessed be! (Any similar experiences, ideas and suggestions are more than welcome!)
Ooo your chant begins on the note B! I love that note…it’s a super comforting tone for me but also uplifting…more on the dark/inner world side of the spectrum…music nerd moment!😄🌷🎶✨
This video in particular was very useful for me. I have a growing collection of various precious Stones and Crystals and feathers and am quite an introvert love to get lost in the world of Journaling.
Much Gratitude thank you. Especially enjoyed the doing nothing at altar space. I love this video as it fired up my immagination, clarified my own activities and increased my options. Blessings.
Oooh, yes please, a video from you on scripting. And morning pages too, can't wait! So synchonistic that you're going to talk about that, because I actually did morning pages every day through September, just because, and I found it quite cathartic.
We use 'pottering' in Australia, I usually use it when I'm talking about 'pottering about the house', sort of doing little jobs here and there but nothing in particular. This was a wonderful video, made even more so by that necklace! Thank you for sharing :)
I LOVE just sit in a front of my altar and chill! I'm smiling to all those pretty stuff that I have 🖤 I also like to potter around? This is how I should say it? Sorry English is not my first language 😅 I also love to paint in my sacred space! BB 🖤
Yes puttering! I do this all the time at my altar and around my house. My favorite way to relax is to sit and do that kind of nothing at my altar. Loved this video. 💜
I absolutely love my altar I adore my altar and I find myself sitting at my altar doing nothing, i love hiw my alter feels and makes me feel, , i also may move my stones around my little gnomes, my little mushroom i made, and yes a short meditation i have carved the earth elements in my alter, and some other symbols
Most beautiful chanting! My favorite kundalini chant, currently doing my Kundalini YTT and my heart chakra IMMEDIATELY opened when you chanted Kelly- Ann
Love this so much!! Would absolutely love to hear more on your practices of scripting and mirror work. I'm very curious about the links between mirror work for self love/shadow work & scrying/spell craft.
I just found your channel yesterday and watched you all day while I was at work. Between billing insurance companies, I was copiously taking notes! I love how you teach and explain things. Then I found out your a Sag too! No wonder I felt so connected! LOVE your channel!!!
It's always a good day when I can catch up on Kelly-Ann videos! Truly loved this. So inspiring! Also, doing "nothing" at my altar is my favourite way to spend time. 💖
Oh I love just sitting at my altar. I feel like I am completely and truly myself there, unjudged, just as me and accepted entirely as I am. I never tweak my altar actually, I mean apart from totally changing it. I don't really just move bits about. Hmmmm! I feel like I would definitely be hung up on the "what ifs" if I tried scripting. Very interested in a video about it though. Definitely something I'd like to try. Loved this video, I'm working on making my practice a bigger part of my life so this was all very useful. Thank you.
Feel like pottering or doing nothing is so present and really increases my intuition. The amount of times I’ve received a message after a lazy or zen moment is fantastic.
Hello Kelly-Ann. Thank you so much for sharing this video. I loved seeing/listening to your chanting. I would love to see a video on scripting and also about the cross over of magick and manifesting. Yes I would also love to see a video on mirror work. I tried mirror work and I had planned to write myself a poem about all the things that I love about myself, but somehow after looking at myself in the mirror, the poem that came out was about what I was afraid of. Most definitely I can't wait to see a video on your past BoM. Many blessings on your day 😊
Just started watching this and 'you don't need to witch, just go and sit' is so powerful, really! I had a similar experience just the other day! Doing nothing, sitting at the altar and watching incense smoke curls. Those moments felt so important. Made me happy to hear you mention it too 💖
Just discovered your site a few days ago and I'm really enjoying. Perhaps because you're so totally different from me. (I'm an 80 year old ex hippy) and yet your ideas are so clear. I've been "pottering" with the occult since my mom gave me some Swami Vivakananda books when i was thirteen, but it was always about meditating, elevating my spirit etc. (Getting high actually) never about magik! Oh my god no! Thats egoist. Skria, heavy karma! Well I'm into magik since about six months ago. Shit! I havent had this much fun since i discovered acid back in '72. I'm definitely a big fan of yours. God/s bless.
I would absolutely love more information on scripting. I truly appreciate your videos - as a solitary witch its is so comforting to know someone else has similar practices . This is truly the most honest video about altars - thank you 💚
Thank you for posting this! I’ve often wondered about your current regular/daily practices. 😊 Also thank you for all the links to the other videos, very helpful. 👌🏼 I would love to hear more about scripting, mirror work, other rambly journal excerpts , etc!! 🤩 It sounds like it would be so much fun! 🌈🦄🔮🌟 Much love, Kelly Ann! 💋💞☀️ Have a great rest of your day. 🙏🏼
Scripting video would be amazing. ❤ I like that it not only helps to get clear on what you want, but also enables you to take more conscious action to get what you want.
What a lovely video! Thank you for making this, it had a wonderful impact on me. I'm still sort of putting myself back together from the hullabaloo of the last couple years, but this definitely inspired me to have a more open attitude with myself about how I incorporate magick into my daily life. After our most recent move back to Iowa (USA) from Michigan, I don't have the place or resources for an altar at this time... so I very much appreciated that you said you can do any of these things without having an altar as well. I'm very excited about trying scripting, I've never heard it called that before but I'm glad to have a framework to wrap around that activity, and a little more structure in my mind at least to dedicate some more time to it. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into collecting these ideas and of course everything you do, you are such a gift to the community and a treasure for our time. Thanks so much for this.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, I would love to see more of your thoughts on scripting, mirror work, and scrying. I'm very intrigued by all of those activities!
This video is wonderful & a thing of beauty Kelly-Ann 😍 I keep a mirror on my altar on & off... I also have done scripting & would love to see you do vids on those things. Thanks for continuing to do what you do 💕
I listened to this while stretching! I’m finding it hard to stretch long enough to actually feel a difference and I stopped just as you wrapped up this video. So thanks for that lol ✨💛
prayer. absolutely. i'm a pantheist and i absolutely pray. i also chant ("ohm shani ohm"). i can't, actually, sit at my altar (thank you r/a) so it's on my dresser. i use the marziano tarot specifically for minerva readings.
This is a little weird, but I watch people's mouths when they talk (partially because I have trouble hearing sometimes), and it's absolutely delightful to watch you talk! You always wear lovely lipstick, you're very expressive, and I never have trouble understanding what you're saying because you enunciate very clearly. :) Thank you
It is good to see this. Love to connect with someone who is like-minded. Your enthusiasm about spirituality is palpable so thank you for that. The bit about scripting sounds interesting and it would be nice to know more about how you do it. Thank you for sharing.
Oh wow what an awesome necklace ♡♡ love your vids so much ! You bring me back to center and I'm going through a chaotic time and I havent had time to "in depth witch" and this totally rationalized my meditative coffee sipping and magical baths. Even though I didnt do a huge ritual and circle it's still valid. ♡♡ blessings to you and a merry samhain darling.
Pretty book beautiful alter. I sit at my alter and do nothing too. Inspiring video. Do more on scripting please, but only if you feel fully inspired. Do a riff on mirror work too please. Thanks again for your wisdom
Oh, I love your videos! You have the most amazing way of saying, “I have these doubts too, and this is why they’re bullshit, this is why you should ignore those doubts about xyz.” Please give us more details about SCRIPTING and also Mirror work! Thank you for your beautiful videos!
This was so inspiring and exactly when I needed it!! Thank you so much, Kelly Ann. Also, very excited about both your videos on morning pages and your past Books of Mirrors. ☺️
Very useful video! Lately I more often found myself sitting and staring at my altair and just admiring, how beautiful and neat it is. It's pretty easy to do, since it's right next to my working zone, so I can see it from my usual seat. Of cause, I prey at my altair too. And do some Lenormand spreads. Unfortunately, it's not big enough to much anything else there, but I feel, watching my altair is already my favorite way to use it (:
I'd love a video on scripting! Especially in the context of the intersection of magick/LOA. The same goes for mirror work. I've always had a hard time sticking to morning pages - so I'm excited to hear more about your experience! Such a lovely video - thanks Kelly-Ann! :)
I loved this! Thank you 🙏🏻 I am the queen of pottering 😄 and I am so grateful that, as well as sharing a fantastic list of witchy activities (the chanting was beautiful), you opened with not doing, “just” being ❤️
I'm so glad other people love to just sit and do nothing at their altars! It's a very important nothing in my opinion. I find cleaning my altar extremely meditative (and often when I'm just sitting I end up cleaning because cat hair and incense dust make for rather sneezy meditations). I'd love to hear more on scripting - the idea makes my writer-brain's ears perk up and go "Barooo?"
Yes please to video on meditation and scripting and any others u mention as I’m only half way through lol. Love love love this video 💗 thank u for sharing
When you said "it all sounds very narcissistic, doesn't it, darling?" and sipped your tea.. I fell in love with you a little bit! LoL
Oh I did, as well 🖤🖤🖤
Yassssss , she is theeeee best !!
Same!!!! She is a whole damn mood! 😂
Yes! Same 🖤
When I was around 18 I went to a meditation retreat in upstate NY and was so struck by the powerful & angelic vibe of the woman who owned the space. She had been a High Priestess and many other things, and she told me "It doesn't matter who you're praying to, as long as you pray." It's been 9 years & I still think of it regularly
May I ask where you were, specifically? I’m upstate NY (about an hr from the city) & super curious about this place..🖤✨🖤
@@lilithsmedicinalmoon2084 It was called Foundation of Light, in Ithaca NY. Check it out!
Just my two cents, but I'd love to see a video about mirror work in particular, as well as one about scripting.
You had me at doing nothing!
When you said it I just felt so represented. My altar is partly thought of as a cathedral inspiring this awe of being in a space large enough for all of you. This is doing nothing at its most healing.
Thank you for the beautiful glimpse into another traveller's path. :)
Nuno Atalaia I have a picture of the inside of a local cathedral at the center of my altar for this very purpose! 🌟It is a wondrous feeling.. simply allowing oneself to be in the space.
I love that you started with “nothing”. I am a big fan of doing nothing at the altar. I sit, I drink tea, I light some incense and I just *be* for a while. Occasionally I do find myself spontaneously pottering, or singing, or humming, or just chatting randomly to my deities, but not always. It makes me feel incredibly centred and definitely does create a sense of locking in to my witchiness and my practice.
For me personally I have noticed (since I am German) that the German word for "prayer" (Gebet) is very connected to Christianity in my mind so it feels weird to use it BUT the first time I heard the word "pray" was in "Eat.

Ich denke genauso wie du. Ich bin brasilianerin. Hier ist "Oração" das Wort für "Gebet". Danke für den Tipp. :)
My top ten altar-side activities.
1. Speak to my late brother and nephew.
2. Storytelling; telling my brother and nephew some sort of story.
3. Practice the ocarina (a recent thing).
4. Put on the altar lights (I can't have candles in the flat).
5. Clean and dust, polish the shiny stuff and rearrange.
6. Decorate with new stuff and remove old stuff that feels stale.
7. Meditate.
8. Study.
9. Cleanse.
10. Stand still and sense the atmosphere and mood of the world around me.
LOVE this list 📝 💘

Still watching the video, but I wanted to comment that I would love to see a video on scripting.
You're brilliant and you are my superhero. Thank you for sharing all of your grand knowledge with us. And yes, we use "pottering about" in the US, but it's an old term my Irish gran used. I use because I learned it from her. Blessings
In the US midwest, we say puttering around the house and it means exactly what you described.
MsAmian yesssssss!!! I putter all the time...!!
We call it pottering in Scotland
In the Midwest US, depending on the area, some will call it fussing as well. I noticed that term is used among the more senior generations. Like, "Mom stop fussing over that Christmas tree. The ornament placement is just fine."
I live in the Appalachia region and we say this as well.
We putter on the west coast of the US as well
Thanks for teaching me the phrase "pottering about". My mom does that all the time, she just walks around and turns decorations a slightly different way, and I honestly never quite understood. But it makes sense now! I'll potter about more myself now. ;)

Oh gosh, this video got me all excited and it's only 7 AM! Thank you
Thank you for posting this! I’ve often wondered about your current regular/daily practices. 😊 Also thank you for all the links to the other videos, very helpful. 👌🏼 I would love to hear more about scripting, mirror work, other rambly journal excerpts , etc!! 🤩 It sounds like it would be so much fun! 🌈🦄🔮🌟 Much love, Kelly Ann! 💋💞☀️ Have a great rest of your day. 🙏🏼
Scripting video would be amazing. ❤ I like that it not only helps to get clear on what you want, but also enables you to take more conscious action to get what you want.
What a lovely video! Thank you for making this, it had a wonderful impact on me. I'm still sort of putting myself back together from the hullabaloo of the last couple years, but this definitely inspired me to have a more open attitude with myself about how I incorporate magick into my daily life. After our most recent move back to Iowa (USA) from Michigan, I don't have the place or resources for an altar at this time... so I very much appreciated that you said you can do any of these things without having an altar as well. I'm very excited about trying scripting, I've never heard it called that before but I'm glad to have a framework to wrap around that activity, and a little more structure in my mind at least to dedicate some more time to it. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into collecting these ideas and of course everything you do, you are such a gift to the community and a treasure for our time. Thanks so much for this.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, I would love to see more of your thoughts on scripting, mirror work, and scrying. I'm very intrigued by all of those activities!
You are looking so beautiful and radiant in this video! Love your content! 🌞🌙✨♥️
This video is wonderful & a thing of beauty Kelly-Ann 😍 I keep a mirror on my altar on & off... I also have done scripting & would love to see you do vids on those things. Thanks for continuing to do what you do 💕
This is one of my favorites. Such a blessing to have you, such a wonderful resource in life
Loved (absolutely LOVED) your thoughts on prayer.
I listened to this while stretching! I’m finding it hard to stretch long enough to actually feel a difference and I stopped just as you wrapped up this video. So thanks for that lol ✨💛
Yes! A Mirror work video would be fabulous. I'm here for it.
Yes to the video about mirror work!
prayer. absolutely. i'm a pantheist and i absolutely pray. i also chant ("ohm shani ohm"). i can't, actually, sit at my altar (thank you r/a) so it's on my dresser. i use the marziano tarot specifically for minerva readings.
This is a little weird, but I watch people's mouths when they talk (partially because I have trouble hearing sometimes), and it's absolutely delightful to watch you talk! You always wear lovely lipstick, you're very expressive, and I never have trouble understanding what you're saying because you enunciate very clearly. :) Thank you
It is good to see this. Love to connect with someone who is like-minded. Your enthusiasm about spirituality is palpable so thank you for that. The bit about scripting sounds interesting and it would be nice to know more about how you do it. Thank you for sharing.
Oh wow what an awesome necklace ♡♡ love your vids so much ! You bring me back to center and I'm going through a chaotic time and I havent had time to "in depth witch" and this totally rationalized my meditative coffee sipping and magical baths. Even though I didnt do a huge ritual and circle it's still valid. ♡♡ blessings to you and a merry samhain darling.
I am the first “Like”! What luck!🍀
I appreciate all the video links you provide for us! Thank you!😀
Fantastic video and loved the lip gloss! Yes to a video on scripting; yes to a video on daily pages; just YES! Really inspiring words - thank you.
Pretty book beautiful alter. I sit at my alter and do nothing too. Inspiring video. Do more on scripting please, but only if you feel fully inspired. Do a riff on mirror work too please. Thanks again for your wisdom
Oh, I love your videos! You have the most amazing way of saying, “I have these doubts too, and this is why they’re bullshit, this is why you should ignore those doubts about xyz.”
Please give us more details about SCRIPTING and also Mirror work! Thank you for your beautiful videos!
Puttering is commonly used in the Appalachian/southern region of the US. I putter around nearly every day!
This was so inspiring and exactly when I needed it!! Thank you so much, Kelly Ann. Also, very excited about both your videos on morning pages and your past Books of Mirrors. ☺️
Your videos always seem to me like coincidences. That's absolutely what I needed, thank you very much!
Very useful video! Lately I more often found myself sitting and staring at my altair and just admiring, how beautiful and neat it is. It's pretty easy to do, since it's right next to my working zone, so I can see it from my usual seat. Of cause, I prey at my altair too. And do some Lenormand spreads. Unfortunately, it's not big enough to much anything else there, but I feel, watching my altair is already my favorite way to use it (:
Brilliant and beautiful. Thank you, I took lots of notes.
I’ve started to feel that prayer is like tuning an instrument…we’re tuning our instrument to the Divine…
I'd love a video on scripting! Especially in the context of the intersection of magick/LOA. The same goes for mirror work. I've always had a hard time sticking to morning pages - so I'm excited to hear more about your experience! Such a lovely video - thanks Kelly-Ann! :)
I loved this! Thank you 🙏🏻
I am the queen of pottering 😄 and I am so grateful that, as well as sharing a fantastic list of witchy activities (the chanting was beautiful), you opened with not doing, “just” being ❤️
Oooh your chanting gave me goosies! Thank you for another gorgeous video. 🦋 Definitely want to hear more about scripting!
Definitely super interested in mirror work and how you personally approach it. Loved this glimpse into your witchy world, Kelly-Ann! 💜🖤
I'm so glad other people love to just sit and do nothing at their altars! It's a very important nothing in my opinion. I find cleaning my altar extremely meditative (and often when I'm just sitting I end up cleaning because cat hair and incense dust make for rather sneezy meditations). I'd love to hear more on scripting - the idea makes my writer-brain's ears perk up and go "Barooo?"
Yes please to video on meditation and scripting and any others u mention as I’m only half way through lol. Love love love this video 💗 thank u for sharing
great decks and goodies here!
I would definitely love more about scripting please xx
Fantastic video thank you so much. I would love an in depth video about scripting xxx
I just have to say I love the ring you have on your left middle finger. It is gorgeous!
This is great, you do all the same things as I do at my altar and I also have a central mirror as it's a 19th C dresser =] x
I loved this one! Yes to all the videos you say you might make if we are interested. We are! Lol thank you for this Kelly.
Excellent, great energy.
