Greetings! Ordained Zen Buddhist Priest and authorized Dharma-teacher here. While many contemporary concepts found within New Age and Neo-Pagan movements do indeed originate from Buddhist thought, I find it hard to make the case that manifestations are one of them. For example, the quote in this video attributed to The Buddha is a common yet incorrect translation of the first verse of the Dhammapada. A correct translation would be "Mind precedes all mental states." It has nothing to do with how our reality is created, but rather to show how our different mental states are interconnected with each other. Other than that, great video as always!
I think the purest spell I’ve ever done was a healing spell for someone who deliberately wronged me. I realized that it wasn’t really “me” that was the problem. This person was sick and desperate, which is somewhere I’ve also been. So far as I can tell, it worked.
also, congrats on the us edition of the book! i have the uk edition (loved the book so much) and i'm so tempted to get the us edition too because the cover looks so beautiful 😭
I saw your book in the thumbnail yesterday and when I got home today, my grandma had bought it for me! I hadn't even asked, and at first I hadn't realised it was yours!
“Out of the heart the mouth speaks n abundance” I was told this so many times by my mother to state Yaya don’t say things u don’t want to happen or the opposite state things u only want to happen
Love your content so much, your journey is so interesting! We’ve seen you grow in your craft and I’m so excited to see where you’re going next hahaha You helped me SO much orienting myself as a baby witch (like understanding the importance of personal and house protection). Thank you so much and may the Universe bless you!
Just finished my US edition of spells for change and it is just wonderful!! Well researched, So clearly written and easy to understand, such a good foundation for building your craft
I’m in the uk and got your book and binge read it! It’s so well written and easy to understand. I’m new to all this and it was so helpful and beginner friendly. Really hope you write more in the future. X
Would love to see this as a series, more about how spellcrafting changes based on the intention. Is there a different approach to spellcraft when the magick is baneful vs healing, attractive vs repulsive etc etc. One thing I’ve been wondering as well is whether there is a sequence of actions that is more powerful than another. Additionally, what does the calling on outside energies (spirites, deities, etc) actually look like. I think a walk through would be very helpful for new practitioners because it gives them a walkthrough to follow to get into the motions. PS, I love your book! A lot of great things I got from it as an experienced witch so thank you for your contributions :D
This is a great video! It's very informative and helpful to listen to you about your process. Just a side note though, it would be nice if influencers and practitioners from cultures would try to pronounce names and terms from other cultures (especially those that have been colonised and appropriated by the white west) correctly. I'm from India, it would be so refreshing to hear someone pronounce BUDDHA correctly; it isn't 'Booda' it's pronounced BU-DD-AAH. 🙈
I thank the goddess for leading me to this video, because I have been struggling with my spell work, and didn't have a clue why. A lot of what was said in this video did resonate, and helped me put into words what was wrong, particularly with the emotions and feeling slighted, and I thank you for that. Sometimes, we just need to go back to the basics! Thanks again, and may your journey be fruitful.
I didnt even get a notif 😭 I just saw the ig post and looked up the time and realized it was supposed to be uploaded now. The speed at which I came here 🏃♀️
Hi Frankie, wow I really enjoyed this video. Spells require a lot of responsibility and I haven’t heard any other creator really touch on that as well as you did. I would really like to know how you decide what to say during spells (besides prayers), or if you even do so at all. 💗
Great question! I usually like to state intentions directly, or do chants. I like a lot of repetitive talking - so if I say a prayer, I say it 3-9 times, and same with stating intention or the chant/rhyme for a spell!
I'm very excited for you and your book! You seem to be doing wonderful, and I hope that continues on for you on 2022! Also the water reminder was very much needed, my coffee with no food/water at 2pm is a very bad habit :/
I’d love if you were able to speak on witchcraft and studying. I know In the later parts of my degree when things were reaching their head, my practices really faltered. And now whilst trying to build and release three projects, time just gets away. There have been a few cases where I’ve been able to do particular things (like work out offering for Freya). But other parts I find little to no energy really remaining to do other workings. What was/is your experience with this? X
I'm not trying to put you on a teaching pedestal or anything since you're not obligated to, but any informational video is something i really love! I know a lot of witchcraft is learning on our own- very trial and error before success- however, for certain topics (Like spellcrafting!) getting the information from online where one can't be too sure if it's trend-hopping and appropriation, OR if its lived experience and true insight! I would absolutely watch a series on like basic topics 101. even if its the very bone-dry information that you learned in the beginning. spirital beings (forms of helpful spirits, harmful spirits, and the different ways they work) would be one of the main topics i would deep dive in. however, without access to books and with pop media loving to ramp up spiritual encounters, i don't know where and who to trust. either way, much love! i'm so excited to support you in the future :)
Bought book yet to read but I feel it will be awesome like your channel. When I get books I like I tend not to read straight away because all the hype.
I'm curious what spell crafting has to offer that I couldn't get from just law of attraction or manifestation techniques like the ones I get from Neville Goddard and Abraham Hicks.
hi, ive been getting serious downloads about positive stuff,that god measures everything and thats how much he loves you i want you to know that and will add more when i can
Hey I love your channel and have been watching for a long time now, and I have started working with Persephone, but I can only find one take from her mythology and that one is mainly focused on her mother. Can you do a video on Persephone?
Heya Frankie, loved the vid, will definitely be looking for a copy of your book to buy, is your podcast available on spotify by any chance? Was also wondering if you (or anyone else) knew of any books containing or building on subject matters covered in "of blood and bones" by kate frueler x
So one question, is it normal to have a Super loud ringing in your ear while a shot of energy goes down your back while asleep or meditating? (Also I love your videos 😀)
I'm a new practitioner, Canadian-Italian with a tiny bit of Native decent, and would LOVE some book recommendations. Beginner, intermediate level but the more the merrier! I love reading aha
Hi frankie, I was wondering if you could add to your 'working with deties' series and do a video on Apollo? (I believe you've worked with him, i think?) He was my first deity and it would be cool to see how his behavior changes between his worshippers.
Wow I am a little scared that you can actually hex people, wouldn't want to get on your bad side!! But on a completely unrelated topic, apparently your view on affirming as if it is happening now is something Neville Goddard talks about. He's a very popular new age author from the 1950s and has a pretty big following on reddit and youtube. I'm actually hoping to get good at manifesting by following his advice, its just really hard for me to believe that my thoughts are really making a difference and I struggle to stay consistent. After a few days I feel like it isn't working and give up. I think I understand the principle - act as if, or pretend as if, its happening now. But the struggle is that you get little to no confirmation that anything is happening or that you're doing it right, so it can be demoralizing. I have read many, many success stories on Neville's forums however, and am trying hard to keep up with affirmations. Present tense, keep repeating, try to believe it as if it were real. I'll keep trying. But from my readings, you don't really need any stones or ingredients. Its all just mental power.
I think a good way to do this would be through divination. Do you have any particular deities that you are interested in? It definitely wouldn't hurt to do some tarot readings to see if you both are a good fit for each other.
I've just listened to it by Books and Broomsticks. I think its fun and interesting to listen to, bc they have different perspective on things and acknowledge the historical background.
wow,okay, im gonna lay it down with the soul mate stuff, i talk to many people some living and some deceased , right now i cant think cause your video is playing in the background,stink, multitasking, ill never meet my soulmate and weve had better sex then anyting i could ever dream of, ha, what else do i have to say , ha ha ha , love you , god is good
Manifestations, manipulation, and money spells. Hoo boy. First, i see the word manifestation as another word for creating or willing into reality. Manifesting love or a good job or health or etc. You are manifesting by putting not only your energies but also your intentions and feelings as well as your time and work and effort and actions, all of it to manifest or create into your life whatever youre trying to achieve and get. So for me i tend to ise the word create or Create, rather than manifest. Second. Manipulation. This word has sugh an ugly connotation. Kind of like well people manipulate and use each other for their own personal gain. Doesnt matter if it ends up ruining the other person. So it makes me wonder, whenever people use the word "manipulate or manipulating and using the elements and energies". It makes me wonder about those people and whether theyre out to control and use the elemental energies, without care if the energies end up being used and fizzled out at the end of the spell. Kind of like a battery. Are people going about manipulating and using up all of these elemental energies until those energies are used up and dried up and gone? Manipulating and controlling and being mean and deceptive and shady with the elemental energies, thereby twisting and deforming all of those elemental energies? Thats typically my underlying question whenever people mention "manipulating" the energies. Similarly like when people manipulate and use other people, and then throw them away like trash. Id like to use the word working with the energies, and for positive and good help and benefit. Not just for me but also for all as well. Not to use and control the energies for the sake of controlling other people and then throw them away, but to protect me and my family from anything or anyone who would be a threat to me and my own. I dont go out of my way to step on other people in order to get to the top, and i dont use magic that way either. Who in their right mind would even want to fight to be on top? Just like the kids game "king of the hill" where everyone scrambles to be on the hill, once there, now they gotta fight others off and down who are trying to climb up themselves. So not only do you have to fight and struggle to get to the top, now you gotta fight and struggle to stay on top. What a waste of time and energy, of course its gonna be exhausting for anyone whos on top and tries to stay there. For me personally, i stay on the ground and live my own life in peace and quiet, without needless and wasteful fighting. So. When i say i dont go out of my way to fight to be on top, i also dont do this using spells or magic. Its such a waste of work, time and effort. Lol. I simply live my life as peaceful and healthy and happy as i can, to live and survive. And i use and work with energies not to manipulate others to get to the top, but to protect myself and my family against anyone else who wants to hurt or kill or destroy us. Survive and live my life in peace and health and happiness, and protect and take out anyone who goes about trying to harm or kill or destroy us. You know, like people trying to break into our home or steal our stuff, or trying to rape me or kill us. Protect me and my family from people going about directly threatening our lives. Heh. Lastly. Money spells and money bowls. I keep telling everyone, dont do them. Money spells and money bowls, especially if theyre strong, will complety fuck and destroy your life. And possibly anyone else involved or close to you. The question is: do you want to survive and live a good and healthy and alive and safe and happy life? Or do you want to use money spells and money bowls and live a filthy rich bit miserable and dangerous and sick and twisted life? Heh.

You helped me SO much orienting myself as a baby witch (like understanding the importance of personal and house protection). Thank you so much and may the Universe bless you!
Just finished my US edition of spells for change and it is just wonderful!! Well researched, So clearly written and easy to understand, such a good foundation for building your craft
I would love to see a video on how to do a spell like you were talking about to manifest a romantic partner.
I’m in the uk and got your book and binge read it! It’s so well written and easy to understand. I’m new to all this and it was so helpful and beginner friendly. Really hope you write more in the future. X

I've been practicing for several years, like four years, and benefitted from this video. I'd totally watch more specifics
I'm at work right now, but can't wait to watch when I get home! Rock on Aunt! You always have good info
I pre ordered mine!!! Can't wait to learn and share the knowledge around me, Thank you!
I didnt even get a notif 😭 I just saw the ig post and looked up the time and realized it was supposed to be uploaded now. The speed at which I came here 🏃♀️
I feel like a great book rec for this video is "spellcrafting" I think a lot of what you covered is also discussed in the chapter on ethics.
This got me on how I practice spell work and how it fits with my blend of magical practice with Buddhism. Thank you. Congratulations on the book.
Hi Frankie, wow I really enjoyed this video. Spells require a lot of responsibility and I haven’t heard any other creator really touch on that as well as you did.

@@ChaoticWitchAunt I find that chanting/repeating rhymed really helps me to raise more energy and pour it into my spells.
I would love to hear more about your spell crafting! Thank you for sharing 🥰
There are some great ideas in this video I'm so grateful thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Just ordered your book. Can't wait to dive in. I like you.
would love to see future vids regarding more specifics of spellcrafting. congrats on the book. ♡
I'm very excited for you and your book! You seem to be doing wonderful, and I hope that continues on for you on 2022! Also the water reminder was very much needed, my coffee with no food/water at 2pm is a very bad habit :/

This was awesome. I really appreciate the candidness of "I bought this spell candle and then realized that I wasn't ready to do this spell".
I would really love for you to create more spell crafting videos! Love from the Philippines. ❤️
Oh! I just bought Spells For Change a couple of days ago. I had no idea it was you! I will look forward to reading it..
Thank you for being awesome
I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS ALL THE TIME AND I BOUGHT THE BOOK LAST MONTH BUT I DIDNT EVEN KNOW YOU WERE THE AUTHOR ❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations on your new book❤ can't wait to read it.
Love this video! Very engaging. thanks!!! Congrats on your book! Cannot wait till it's available in Canada.
Bought book yet to read but I feel it will be awesome like your channel. When I get books I like I tend not to read straight away because all the hype.

first book i ever got couldn t ask for a better beginer book
So excited for the book to be released!
So I just bought your book for £4 on Amazon, and never have I been so pleased to live in the uk and not have to wait to get my hands on it 😂
I'm in Canada, any chance this may be an ebook at some point? I would love to get my hands on it :)
hi, ive been getting serious downloads about positive stuff,that god measures everything and thats how much he loves you i want you to know that and will add more when i can
I was about to watch the Stanley hotel video and the notification popped up 😅
I’m very interested in how you craft your spells. I hardly ever like the spells that I find in books, so I just wing it. 🦉😆🤞🏼🦇
Ooo so excited for the book!
hello, i'm a little confused on the books. on amazon there is a green version and a blue version. are they the same books or like vol. 1 and vol. 2?
Can you do a video on how to work with your big 3? Birhtchart reading and astrology videos would be a huuuge help if you have any info on the topic!
Hey I love your channel and have been watching for a long time now, and I have started working with Persephone, but I can only find one take from her mythology and that one is mainly focused on her mother. Can you do a video on Persephone?
So when making a spell how do you know if you should do a 7 day or or a simple chime ?
Preordered!!!
Why do you not veil any more?
Wow i interested what have you done with spellcrafting
love your vids❤️❤️❤️
Heya Frankie, loved the vid, will definitely be looking for a copy of your book to buy, is your podcast available on spotify by any chance?
Was also wondering if you (or anyone else) knew of any books containing or building on subject matters covered in "of blood and bones" by kate frueler x
are thier aany advice on what i should look up to find videos on witch craft rituals. i am not a witch but it seems intresting.
So one question, is it normal to have a Super loud ringing in your ear while a shot of energy goes down your back while asleep or meditating? (Also I love your videos 😀)
What's the difference between the US edition and the UK edition of your book?
Anyway we can get a Signed Copy? Maybe a Raffle or Lottery Giveaway? Looks good.
I'm a new practitioner, Canadian-Italian with a tiny bit of Native decent, and would LOVE some book recommendations. Beginner, intermediate level but the more the merrier! I love reading aha
I have a beginner book rec video up! I’ll be making the Intermediate book rec video soon!
Do you plan on getting it translated to other languages?
Hi frankie, I was wondering if you could add to your 'working with deties' series and do a video on Apollo? (I believe you've worked with him, i think?)
He was my first deity and it would be cool to see how his behavior changes between his worshippers.
they actually have a vid on artemis and apollo!
@@grapityapity oh nice, all i saw was artemis on the cover, so i thought it was just artemis. Ty
Sorry bout that frankie lol

Just ordered the UK edition because April seems “so far away”. LOL! How about a spell to discover which deity will work best for me?
I think a good way to do this would be through divination. Do you have any particular deities that you are interested in? It definitely wouldn't hurt to do some tarot readings to see if you both are a good fit for each other.
love spells? dangers and correct way to do them, manifesting a particular person or situation?
we just did a podcast episode on this!
I've just listened to it by Books and Broomsticks. I think its fun and interesting to listen to, bc they have different perspective on things and acknowledge the historical background.
Wait !! What???? Did you write spells for change???
13:30 then you should write more books 👀 me and my wallet are always ready haha
i plan on it! i want my books to mirror my growth as a practitioner & i have SO MANY ideas
wow,okay, im gonna lay it down with the soul mate stuff, i talk to many people some living and some deceased , right now i cant think cause your video is playing in the background,stink, multitasking, ill never meet my soulmate and weve had better sex then anyting i could ever dream of, ha, what else do i have to say , ha ha ha , love you , god is good
