I just got admonished by a, “friend “, the other evening about everything I need to clear out and clean up since my husband passed 2 years ago. I live out in the woods all alone and love it. My husband built our home and his life is still here and I still speak with him everyday. I love the messes! Your greeting the elements each morning is going to become a part of my day. Thank you for being you and sharing.
You must have the patience of a saint 😂 I’d have told them to sod off and not come round again if they’re that bothered by it! It’s 5 years today since my dad passed and I’m still working my way through all of his stuff, he kept his nan and grandads stuff, his great aunts and his mom and dads stuff and his own so we are absolutely swamped with stuff! But your house sounds idyllic! A house in the woods that your beloved built himself! Wow! That sounds like heaven! No wonder you want to keep it how it was and no one has the right to tell you that’s wrong 😭💔 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm Sooo glad to have found you and your "mess" ! I've struggled with this, because I've read in many places that we have to keep our space and lives clean and tidy to keep the negative energy away. Well, my knees are bone on bone and I'm waiting for replacement surgery on both. I can barely stand to perform spells or make oils, etc. So I have been extremely sensitive to my mess and what or if the negative energy is affecting me. You have helped me realize that it just doesn't fucking matter!! What a freeing revelation! Blessed be 🤗. I am now a new subscriber and will look for your playlist. ❤
Blessed be! We are free to be ourselves. That can look different for all of us at different stages. It's OK. I hope your knee replacement comes soon ❤️🌻❤️
⭐⭐⭐As a crone myself, I love seeing you come into what will be the best years of your life, especially with this knowledge of divine messiness as it swirls around us all.
Thank you so much for helping your feather baby so much and not giving up on her 🥹🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️ I have hens and I use a herb blend in their bedding that they can safely eat but also makes them feel safe and calm and protected and also repels pests but I really want to use more remedies and spellwork to heal my babies, I would love if you would share some of your animal healing witchery if you wanted to that is obviously 🥰❤❤❤❤⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have never felt more understood! I'm so overwhelmed on my messy farm, my pumpkin fields are full of weeds, I' got myself into a waddle fence project and have trees and sticks EVERYWHERE LOL, I always wanted to be a gentle, organized sister but it just isn't realistic for me! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING so candid! I am a DIRTY ,GRUBBY FARM WITCH ;) 🌟 🌟 🌟
I’m so glad you talked about this. Creating space for more acceptance of what is and to BE. Nature is not organized and neat yet she is so beautiful and powerful. She is. And so are we. We are her and she is us. Humanity has only constructed separation. I let the weeds grow in my garden too. It encourages the balance of life and protects my garden plants from imbalances and pests. I’ve let my trees go without trimming. I’m letting the land rest and be since I have arrived. It’s been pinched, poked and proded too long. No one enjoys a relationship like that. So huzzah! More power to you 🥰
I’m another messy Witch! And I love myself as I am. (I’m organized messy.) Messy leads to creative inspiration. It has worked for me since I “became” a Witch 42 years ago 🤗
"A star-shaped peg" that's so cool! Watching nature is how I (finally) came to have an iota of understanding about gods, goddesses and where I fit in the circle. As always, thank you for sharing your perspective :) ⭐⭐⭐
I'm totally shabby, love it! I was always so concerned about having a Better Homes and Gardens space when the kids were growing up that I have forgotten for years to enjoy what I have. Forget trying to be perfect now, I'm all done with that. Love your channel, you are real, raw and unapologetic about being your amazing self. Thank you ❤
I did the same thing when the kids were young. It was exhausting. But then one day I realized that the house would be dirty the next day. There would always be cleaning to do, and they're always is.
As a new witch, I've struggled with comparing myself with others and their practice. I've finally decided I am me, not them, and I do the best I can with what I have and what I know, but always strive to learn and better my practice. But it's hard sometimes.
Same here. I recently had an invasion by numerous armies of ants, and then several instances where rain leaked into my apartment on a historic ranch. I had had to pack and store my altar, crystals, incense, etc and now can't find anything. I'm thinking I want to cull about 75% of my magical items. But, I care about where they go and I don't just want to throw things away. I would love to do a giveaway but don't know where to start.
I completely agree with you - I've never been a 'type a' overly neat person - honestly when things are too organized and 'neat' I don't feel comfortable and I feel 'trapped' somewhat!! When you showed your farm I was like - it's beautiful and natural and I didn't see any o fhte 'mess' you mentioned that others might see - def nature has no straight lines - love that! To add to that - I tend to like more 'raw' Youttube vids versus the overdone / polished ones - b'c the raw ones tend to be more effective and real in my opinion:) All that's to say - thank you for pointing this 'my mess isn't a mess' idea - agree 100%!!!
You have given me HOPE!!!! Oh Hexa, I am mess, and I have constantly fought it my entire life. Growing up with abuse, trauma & having to take of me from a very young age (as well as siblings & cousins), I HAD to be 'perfect': organized, in control of things to keep myself safe, etc., etc... I am so TIRED. I want to be myself, be me. I'm 53 & I'm trying to still figure out who I am. The only time I have felt even remotely myself is when I embrace my magickal me. Even if it is just the tiniest action, I feel more me than I ever have. You put things into words & expression that I have always felt but couldn't express myself. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I love your videos!!!💚🤎🧡💛💜❤ --Tess🌟🌟🌟
✨️✨️✨️ Great topic! Messy is creative, inspiring, and happy! I love my messy witchiness. No pressure. I also found that when I quit my last job 10yrs ago, I was finally free to be me. No more donning a mask every day. Now, I don't G.A.S. what anyone thinks of me. They can just mind their own damn business😊 I love seeing your farm, April. It makes me miss the farm I had, but yours sparks lovely memories for me. Peace and love, Lindsey.
🌟🌟🌟can't wait till mosquitos season is up so i can sort of clean up the messy flower gardens which never look like they have been weeded (and plant more lol) but watching this I can now say that I am not alone in my organized chaotic mess, and can be assured that there are others like me out there😂thank you for sharing
I freaking love it …’ dirty grubby farm witch’ 😂 ‘ here’s my sticks and rocks’ my first thought is this isn’t messy! This is organically grown magic! lol I love it such a wholesome video, magic is really in the flow and even in the brick wall we bump against from time to time. I think magic really does have to be down to earth! What a video thank you! 🌿☕💛⭐🌿
procrastination and "mess" as well as perfectionism and OCD cleaning can all be signs of unhealed trauma or coping mechanisms. It is all about our perspectives and how we feel about it, also self-care and a solid daily practice help to keep the eyes on the prize :) sending unconditional love and infinite compassion, acceptance, safety, health, peace and joy!
Thank you for the reminder. I too am very messy at times but I am a Virgo and also crave order. Makes for an interesting brain! I have let go of so much perfection and 'right way' thinking in my crone years. I too let Mother Nature do her magic in my gardens and right now the beautiful golden rod she planted is looking amazing. The joe pie weed too.
Thanks. So much on Internet says ya can't be messy or it brings chaotic negative energy and do a daily practice. Can't do it everyday wen ya working 5 twelve hour night shifts a week. I luv my witchy clutter it's what I feel comfortable with.
I do believe that too much mess can be chaotic and bring certain energies, but being overly controlling and clean can ALSO bring energies that aren't the best! It's about balance, isn't it? Unreal expectations strangled me for years. 😊
This is a great message ⭐️⭐️⭐️I think the majority of us can and Do relate. Messy or authentic? Two sides of the same coin? I'm loving your inspiration. Thank you❤
I love this and all of your recent videos, well I love your content in general😂. I love the feeling free to create within the messiness and chaos of life and not having it be a specific way. Thanks for being open and sharing this ⭐⭐⭐
Thank you for opening the door to "messiness" and bringing to the forefront of my mind that I am no different. It's OK to not have straight lines, rooms filled with books, rocks and sticks. There's no such thing as perfection. Diving into the bowl of primordial soup with grace (beef pho) please with all its dirtiness and floaty bit goodness one can enjoy and not feel judged, for I am ME and you are YOU and together we are GREAT ❤ ps open up a retreat on your beautiful property, so we can all come and enjoy it, love from Down Under
Perfectly imperfect. I loved this and laughed so hard at your piles of books & decks. If only my unique sister witches out there could see my desk right now. YiKes! It's over run by books, plants, decks, papers & bits for journals, etc. It's a hot magical mess, it is ME. Thank you so much for the absolutely lovely video! ✨✨✨
✨️what you said about primordial soup reminded me that we are all made from the same elements as the stars! Talk about a connection to the universe! Thank you for the beautiful video!
Love the video, your home and land are beautiful. Thanks your sharing this. I am a messy witch and I know this. I call my home a chaotic slightly outside organized mess/clutter. I am also artistic, so loads,of craft supplies. Plus starting a small business in the side. Then there is my dried herbs, essential oils, and all my witch stuff I've accumulated since 98'. I need a big farm house. I also have my gardening on my patio area and next to my townhouse. I am comfortable with my stuff and not always picture perfect. Little clutter is good for you, lol. 🌱🌺🐓🐱⭐🌟⭐🌈💧
I’m messy too and dealing with the frustration that comes from that. Hearing and seeing this video has helped me to understand I don’t have to be perfect. The turning of the wheel is the magic and my focus needs to be there! Blessed be
💫🌟Thank you so much for this amazing video! I feel so much better about my “messy” magick! I tried to conform & do things like I thought was “right” but I don’t always have time for that so I thought oh well I’m a free spirit & I will do it my way! It’s nice to see someone else do that too and have it work! ✨⭐️
I love your breath and elemental practice! What a good reminder first thing. I will definitely be giving this a try. I'm never great at every day rituals, but this is so small, but powerful, I look forward to incorporating it into my practice.
I just keep doing it when it comes to mind. It's becoming more frequent with time. And it keeps my practice evolving as my greeting to the elements change.
Your witchy space looks very much like mine. ❤ And the piles, oh my the piles! At the moment, I have a pile of BOS sheets, papers to sort through, many baskets of dried plants and boxes/bins of magickal projects I want to do, and let’s not forget the stacks of books. When will they be tackled? When the time is right; slowly and with intention.
Enjoyed the video, and I always love to see your farm and surrounding nature. You, like all of nature, are perfect just the way you are. I'm glad to see you are easing in to giving up the artificial You Tube-vers and are leading others into the organic nature of the craft. Blessings!
⭐️⭐️⭐️love this video! I never have the “right” timing for anything, either. Though I’m quite sure that my ancestors didn’t give as much of a fig about that as ritualized spellcraft would like us to believe. Your cat in the background: why does she keep walking back and forth all the time? This is a great spot to hang out!
Wonderful insight, nature is very orderly, rhythmic and flows always in sync in a natural way, humans have minds to order and want things to be lined up, straight and "organized", this has its place just as does the awareness and appreciation of the "chaotic" beauty and harmony of the natural world
Thank you so much for this video. As a hearth and green witch, I often feel so crooked in my craft. I remember saying out loud that I want my existence to be almost as an old tree in a forest. Ever since I said that I've been challenged with understanding what that meant and I am learning to accept it. Nature is not straight lines and constructs. I have a new appreciation for my craft now that I have a better understanding of it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️Thank you, thank you 🙏🏻 I love the pristine, perfect videos of other Witchy folk, but oh my goodness - I’m so excited when you release a video. A Druid and messy Witch here, I just needed this reminder. My office, art room and many a cupboard look just like this. My tree’s and herb’s are running wild and unkempt in my garden… Absolutely, nature is not orderly - She is fabulous and like me cannot work in ordered straight lines. I have also started to greet the Earth beneath, the Sky above and the Waters around my shores as part of my morning practice. I’d love to know how you and others choose/discover your Goddess, whether you find her by researching or if it’s more of a spiritual calling of her reaching out to you at this time or both? Blessings 💚
✨✨✨I love your farm! I just left my messy farm. Felt like I couldn’t keep up with it. No longer had the strength to clear out the brambles and bittersweet that insisted they be a part of the land. The new family who bought it is clearing out everything. Gone are a lot of my beloved plant allies. Yes, it will look less messy but I liked my mess much better. Our home was nestled more cozily into the woods. The house now seems so exposed. But it’s their house now and so be it. I felt like the land gave me permission to leave and I asked it to bring the right new owners - ones who would love it like I did - so I need to leave it at that. As I was packing up to leave (a long process of clearing myself in many ways), I realized that the lesson for me that I had missed was that I had been fighting nature rather than fully embracing it. And perhaps my biggest problem was that I was wanting to control too many of the spaces. Living there showed me the power of nature and the natural world. That things grow where they want to grow and some plants are more insistent than others and the landscape is ever-changing as some plants move in and others move out. It is all so glorious and I miss the connection and privacy I had there, but I am blooming where I am planted and figuring out things in this new more-ordered, but still-to-be “messed” with space. This winter I will plan a tiny garden space full of deer-resistant herbal and native plants and hopefully one special fruiting tree. Meanwhile, I am finding plant allies in the spaces around me. I will be a forager now. A much better fit for who I am. Thanks for putting out these videos. So much of this one resonated, from the grass in my old gardens to the wanting to have things perfect in my books (I don’t do tons of spells but I am creating rituals and have a bunch of herbal recipes) to healing a chicken whose back was torn open (pre discovering magic but post becoming an herbalist and raw honey was involved in her treatments).
I love that you have a new space to be "messed" with! I feel that someday I will be in the same position of leaving this place 😢 Until then, I look forward to the adventure of my mess. PS I have beea and thought about honey, but was worried about ants! It's been terrible this year...
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Your videos have helped me a lot recently to reconnect with my own magical nature. Your channels are deeply inspiring, thank you for being willing to share part of your magical practice with us, it really makes a difference. Thank you very, very much!!_ from Brazil! ❤😊
🌟🌠✴️ I love this! I can totally relate to the messiness. As an artist/crafty person, I accept the fact that we can never be tidy minimalists. 😆 I love your morning breath ritual for the elements and actually took a deep breath upon seeing the picture of the Sun and then the pink rose. 🌸 I love animals and have a few Oracle Card decks that feature animals. I connect to Spirit Animals in that way, but I would like to try guided meditations, as well as studying them in life and through books. I used to feel closer to animals when we had several pets. I hope to reconnect with animals in a tangible way again. ❤🩷🤍
Take a moment to imagine the fur of a past pet in your hands. The way it feels when you run you fingers down their backs. May that stir your connection. I connect with birds a lot. The good news is they keep themselves and you can find them year round!
As I age, I get neater and more organized. I can’t stand having everything in my face and reminding me to take care of it. I clean as I go and put things away before I go to bed and do a quick vacuum. Everything is much easier for me to keep up when I don’t let things get out of control. Everything has its place and if it doesn’t have a place, it goes into storage or to a thrift store or sold. I have multiple white boards and write everything down and the 2 minute chores get done now that I would quickly forget about before. I have anxiety and having clutter and unfinished projects stresses me out so keeping things under control is so wonderful and relaxing and I have more time to relax. Your branches on the ground can be dealt with easily by taking a wheelbarrow with you while pruning and wheeling it away and not leaving a pile behind. It is really about taking care of yourself when you keep things up because it is so easy for everything to get totally out of control and overwhelming.
Thank you! It's always good to know we are in good company as messy witches! Fortunately, my very neat husband has gotten used to my stacks of books and herbs drying all over the house, etc! It is who I am! I have gotten away from an early morning breath and blessing ... thank you for reminding me of that! Life truly is so magickal if we just remember to take time to notice. Looking forward to your new offerings! Stay messy! ✨️✨️✨️
⭐️🌟🌠 I love the spaciousness and wildness of your trees and farm, and the dense clusters of flowers, even the half-mown lawn. The arch was magical, an invitation to the liminal. All of it is organically beautiful. Your home and your magic space illustrates an active witch and TH-cam creator. I follow another witch who demonstrated a few candle spells. There was spilled wax on the altar cloth, shavings where she carved the candle, oil all over hands and herbs all over the altar cloth. The altar was arranged intuitively, not perfectly. She reminded her viewers that real magic is messy and TH-cam magic is staged to be asthetically pleasing. I've worked with a particular deity and a small number of spirit animals. I've had sightings of some of the animals in the wild, but I am in one of those "dark night of the soul" periods and there hasn't been any connection. This too shall pass.
I am a neuro spicy mixed media artist and would much rather do fun things that feed my soul than dust and vacuum and sometimes (the majority of the time) I do just that! I have a sister that is the total opposite in all the ways and has to have her all gray, black and White House completely spotless before she does anything else. I love my “messy” creative full of life life!! Thank u for this!! 😊
Thank you for this beautiful, honest sharing, thoroughly enjoyed every bit! Because my blog is "Barefoot on the Gaia Path" you can probably guess that I'm right there with you among the no-straight-lines and exquisite-layers-of-imperfection that grace our lives in every moment. Blessings! ⭐⭐⭐
Magick meeting social media meeting self development meeting lifestyle (meeting 90's tv witches) indeed created a huge association between things that can co exist and be linked together but its not an absolute way. I always think of people in that past that just used spoken charms, maybe some little bags or poppets for their craft while hugely praying Jesus, Mary and the Saints for good harvest and health etc. We tend to think magick should be impressive/aesthetic/ceremonial like.... But folk magick history kinda highly how the extraordinary wasnt so detached from the ordinary.
I have been a witch since year 2000. My struggle is I live a small apartment where is my husband and my struggle is trying to find somewhere to create sacred space and to have an altar and such.😊
It’s probably my ADHD that contributes to my messiness. However, I get on these cleaning binges…I recently stayed up all night cleaning and rearranging. It made my head feel better. Although, it is exhausting at nearly 52. I am happy with the rearrangement and the sweeping/vacuuming. It gets the Chi flowing in a way where I can breath a little deeper. All the rest…well, I try to remind myself to fill in the cracks (my imperfections) with gold - like a beautiful Ming vase that was broken and restored with gold. Idk, the image works for me. Not being so hard on myself to conform to societal norms has always been a challenge in my head. I just learned they now call ADHD people Neuro-divergent! What does that even mean?? lol. 😂 Whatever it means, I know that I am beautiful and brilliant, creative, and can solve just about any puzzle/problem when I hyper-focus. Se la vi. F the norm. I like me 🫶🏼
I'm in no way a polished put together witch. I've also gotten to the point where I'm letting go of even aiming for order and ritual. I do what feels right in the moment.
“Things don’t come in straight rows in nature.” 👏👏👏👏👏👏
And I'm so glad they don't!
"I'm not messy, I'm just not a straight line" I needed to hear that! Thank you! Brilliant video!
I'm so glad. Apparently I needed to say it out loud for myself! 😂
Piles of--- yes!! I have them everywhere! 😂❤😂
Decks, books, crystals, rocks , sticks, and such. Chuckle
The best!

Every time I declutter to make things look fine I can't find my things after that and use a huge amount of time to look after it.. 🤭😔

Thanks. So much on Internet says ya can't be messy or it brings chaotic negative energy and do a daily practice. Can't do it everyday wen ya working 5 twelve hour night shifts a week. I luv my witchy clutter it's what I feel comfortable with.
I do believe that too much mess can be chaotic and bring certain energies, but being overly controlling and clean can ALSO bring energies that aren't the best! It's about balance, isn't it?
Unreal expectations strangled me for years. 😊
That is so me!!!! Trying to be perfect. Thank you for showing me how to be ME!! 🤩
I'm so glad that resonated with you!
This is a great message ⭐️⭐️⭐️I think the majority of us can and Do relate. Messy or authentic? Two sides of the same coin? I'm loving your inspiration. Thank you❤
I believe they are two sides of the same coin
I love this and all of your recent videos, well I love your content in general😂. I love the feeling free to create within the messiness and chaos of life and not having it be a specific way. Thanks for being open and sharing this ⭐⭐⭐
Yay! Thank you!
😊 I was meant to find your channel today ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am so glad ☺️
I love that phrase "There are no straight lines" !! ❤❤❤
So forget about trying to be perfect, and just Beeeee
Quirky is good. Let us all be our own shade of excellent, not perfect. The just-right-amount of ourselves.
Thank you for opening the door to "messiness" and bringing to the forefront of my mind that I am no different. It's OK to not have straight lines, rooms filled with books, rocks and sticks. There's no such thing as perfection.
Diving into the bowl of primordial soup with grace (beef pho) please with all its dirtiness and floaty bit goodness one can enjoy and not feel judged, for I am ME and you are YOU and together we are GREAT ❤ ps open up a retreat on your beautiful property, so we can all come and enjoy it, love from Down Under
Life is tastier without someone else's idea of perfection!
Perfectly imperfect. I loved this and laughed so hard at your piles of books & decks. If only my unique sister witches out there could see my desk right now. YiKes! It's over run by books, plants, decks, papers & bits for journals, etc. It's a hot magical mess, it is ME. Thank you so much for the absolutely lovely video! ✨✨✨
Great minds...
✨️what you said about primordial soup reminded me that we are all made from the same elements as the stars! Talk about a connection to the universe! Thank you for the beautiful video!
So true! Our connection physically to the stars and everything we see is so deep and real.
Love your authenticity.
You are always so encouraging ☺️
Yes definitely messy and intuitive but its right for me ✨
Exactly!! 💯
🌟🌟🌟That was awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it🌿💚🌿
Love the video, your home and land are beautiful. Thanks your sharing this. I am a messy witch and I know this. I call my home a chaotic slightly outside organized mess/clutter. I am also artistic, so loads,of craft supplies. Plus starting a small business in the side. Then there is my dried herbs, essential oils, and all my witch stuff I've accumulated since 98'. I need a big farm house. I also have my gardening on my patio area and next to my townhouse. I am comfortable with my stuff and not always picture perfect. Little clutter is good for you, lol. 🌱🌺🐓🐱⭐🌟⭐🌈💧
Yes, the herbs, the decks, the rocks, the books, and endless craft supplies. I love all of that at my fingertips!
I’m messy too and dealing with the frustration that comes from that. Hearing and seeing this video has helped me to understand I don’t have to be perfect. The turning of the wheel is the magic and my focus needs to be there! Blessed be
Blessed be Susan! I think the more understanding we give ourselves, the more we can shift into our power. ❤️✨❤️
Loved this video! ⭐🌟🌟
Thank you!!
💫🌟Thank you so much for this amazing video! I feel so much better about my “messy” magick! I tried to conform & do things like I thought was “right” but I don’t always have time for that so I thought oh well I’m a free spirit & I will do it my way! It’s nice to see someone else do that too and have it work! ✨⭐️
We all have our own way🌻🐒🍁🦥
I love your breath and elemental practice! What a good reminder first thing. I will definitely be giving this a try. I'm never great at every day rituals, but this is so small, but powerful, I look forward to incorporating it into my practice.
I just keep doing it when it comes to mind. It's becoming more frequent with time. And it keeps my practice evolving as my greeting to the elements change.
⭐🌟🌠 Messy here too! When you showed your piles of books and decks I related so much! Thanks for sharing your messy practice!
You are so welcome! 🤗
⭐⭐⭐ Such an important message. Thank you so much this video. 😍
So glad!
I adore your videos
I'm so glad! ☺️
❤joy🖤have a beautiful time❤️very helpful video
Thank you! You too!
Your witchy space looks very much like mine. ❤ And the piles, oh my the piles! At the moment, I have a pile of BOS sheets, papers to sort through, many baskets of dried plants and boxes/bins of magickal projects I want to do, and let’s not forget the stacks of books. When will they be tackled? When the time is right; slowly and with intention.
Indeed!!!
I do have plans to sort that room before Mabon. It will happen....
And yes the PILES of BOS sheets!
⭐️⭐️⭐️love how real you are!
Thanks!
OMG! Poor Emily! I'm so glad that she's mended....And thank you for the reminder that life is damn messy, but that's ok! xo, A
Oh my Goddess Aurora! This chicken and I are so bonded. I can't believe what a trooper she is.
Thanks for your prayers for her.
@@naturalwitchery You're her backbone to keep going.
Yes. Thanks
Welcome!
Enjoyed the video, and I always love to see your farm and surrounding nature. You, like all of nature, are perfect just the way you are. I'm glad to see you are easing in to giving up the artificial You Tube-vers and are leading others into the organic nature of the craft. Blessings!
Thanks Pamela. You have seen so many iterations of me in here, so that means a lot for me.
⭐️⭐️⭐️love this video! I never have the “right” timing for anything, either. Though I’m quite sure that my ancestors didn’t give as much of a fig about that as ritualized spellcraft would like us to believe.
Your cat in the background: why does she keep walking back and forth all the time? This is a great spot to hang out!
But we are making it happen!
Wonderful insight, nature is very orderly, rhythmic and flows always in sync in a natural way, humans have minds to order and want things to be lined up, straight and "organized", this has its place just as does the awareness and appreciation of the "chaotic" beauty and harmony of the natural world
Yes ❤️🌟❤️
⭐️⭐️⭐️ such a good video and perfect timing. Thank you 🙏 ❤
The universe is not always on time, never late
Just recently found you, i want to tell you that those words ring so true to me.
I'm so glad. Hope we can all feel a little more free in ourselves 🩵🌿🩵
⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am enjoying your videos a lot. Thank you so much April. Much love and many blessings! ❤❤❤
You are so welcome
Thank you so much for this video. As a hearth and green witch, I often feel so crooked in my craft. I remember saying out loud that I want my existence to be almost as an old tree in a forest. Ever since I said that I've been challenged with understanding what that meant and I am learning to accept it. Nature is not straight lines and constructs. I have a new appreciation for my craft now that I have a better understanding of it.
I visited grove of ancient yew trees in Wales. It was so profound to listen to them and feel the incredible connection they have to life! ❤️
⭐️⭐️⭐️Thank you, thank you 🙏🏻 I love the pristine, perfect videos of other Witchy folk, but oh my goodness - I’m so excited when you release a video. A Druid and messy Witch here, I just needed this reminder. My office, art room and many a cupboard look just like this. My tree’s and herb’s are running wild and unkempt in my garden… Absolutely, nature is not orderly - She is fabulous and like me cannot work in ordered straight lines. I have also started to greet the Earth beneath, the Sky above and the Waters around my shores as part of my morning practice.
I’d love to know how you and others choose/discover your Goddess, whether you find her by researching or if it’s more of a spiritual calling of her reaching out to you at this time or both? Blessings 💚
Fellow druid here. Nature is my church
✨✨✨I love your farm! I just left my messy farm. Felt like I couldn’t keep up with it. No longer had the strength to clear out the brambles and bittersweet that insisted they be a part of the land. The new family who bought it is clearing out everything. Gone are a lot of my beloved plant allies. Yes, it will look less messy but I liked my mess much better. Our home was nestled more cozily into the woods. The house now seems so exposed. But it’s their house now and so be it. I felt like the land gave me permission to leave and I asked it to bring the right new owners - ones who would love it like I did - so I need to leave it at that.
As I was packing up to leave (a long process of clearing myself in many ways), I realized that the lesson for me that I had missed was that I had been fighting nature rather than fully embracing it. And perhaps my biggest problem was that I was wanting to control too many of the spaces. Living there showed me the power of nature and the natural world. That things grow where they want to grow and some plants are more insistent than others and the landscape is ever-changing as some plants move in and others move out. It is all so glorious and I miss the connection and privacy I had there, but I am blooming where I am planted and figuring out things in this new more-ordered, but still-to-be “messed” with space. This winter I will plan a tiny garden space full of deer-resistant herbal and native plants and hopefully one special fruiting tree. Meanwhile, I am finding plant allies in the spaces around me. I will be a forager now. A much better fit for who I am.
Thanks for putting out these videos. So much of this one resonated, from the grass in my old gardens to the wanting to have things perfect in my books (I don’t do tons of spells but I am creating rituals and have a bunch of herbal recipes) to healing a chicken whose back was torn open (pre discovering magic but post becoming an herbalist and raw honey was involved in her treatments).
I love that you have a new space to be "messed" with! I feel that someday I will be in the same position of leaving this place 😢
Until then, I look forward to the adventure of my mess.
PS I have beea and thought about honey, but was worried about ants! It's been terrible this year...
🌟🌟🌟 thank you. This video came at the right time and you say what I needed to hear.
So glad!
🌟🌟🌟 Looking forward to your new newsletter and ancestor course, love your videos, and love the new raw energy you are bringing to your content💖
Yay! Thank you!
@@naturalwitchery 💗💗💗
✨✨✨ Thank You April! So BEAUTIFUL mess you have! I'm amazed and grateful 💖
You are so welcome💝🌻💝
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Your videos have helped me a lot recently to reconnect with my own magical nature. Your channels are deeply inspiring, thank you for being willing to share part of your magical practice with us, it really makes a difference. Thank you very, very much!!_ from Brazil! ❤😊
I'm so glad to hear it 🤗
Outstanding content…. ❤
Thanks a ton🌻🌿🌻
🌟🌠✴️ I love this! I can totally relate to the messiness. As an artist/crafty person, I accept the fact that we can never be tidy minimalists. 😆 I love your morning breath ritual for the elements and actually took a deep breath upon seeing the picture of the Sun and then the pink rose. 🌸 I love animals and have a few Oracle Card decks that feature animals. I connect to Spirit Animals in that way, but I would like to try guided meditations, as well as studying them in life and through books. I used to feel closer to animals when we had several pets. I hope to reconnect with animals in a tangible way again. ❤🩷🤍
Take a moment to imagine the fur of a past pet in your hands. The way it feels when you run you fingers down their backs.
May that stir your connection.
I connect with birds a lot. The good news is they keep themselves and you can find them year round!
New sub ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️. Thanks for the reminder.
Fellow Aries?!!
Welcome to my little corner of the world. It's a mess and I still share it!
As I age, I get neater and more organized. I can’t stand having everything in my face and reminding me to take care of it. I clean as I go and put things away before I go to bed and do a quick vacuum. Everything is much easier for me to keep up when I don’t let things get out of control. Everything has its place and if it doesn’t have a place, it goes into storage or to a thrift store or sold. I have multiple white boards and write everything down and the 2 minute chores get done now that I would quickly forget about before. I have anxiety and having clutter and unfinished projects stresses me out so keeping things under control is so wonderful and relaxing and I have more time to relax. Your branches on the ground can be dealt with easily by taking a wheelbarrow with you while pruning and wheeling it away and not leaving a pile behind. It is really about taking care of yourself when you keep things up because it is so easy for everything to get totally out of control and overwhelming.
❤️
🌟🌟🌟 great video! Thank you! ✨
Thanks for watching!
Thank you! It's always good to know we are in good company as messy witches! Fortunately, my very neat husband has gotten used to my stacks of books and herbs drying all over the house, etc! It is who I am! I have gotten away from an early morning breath and blessing ... thank you for reminding me of that! Life truly is so magickal if we just remember to take time to notice. Looking forward to your new offerings! Stay messy! ✨️✨️✨️
My hubby is used to me too. It took some time, but....
I signed up!
🥰🥰🥰
⭐️🌟🌠 I love the spaciousness and wildness of your trees and farm, and the dense clusters of flowers, even the half-mown lawn. The arch was magical, an invitation to the liminal. All of it is organically beautiful.
Your home and your magic space illustrates an active witch and TH-cam creator. I follow another witch who demonstrated a few candle spells. There was spilled wax on the altar cloth, shavings where she carved the candle, oil all over hands and herbs all over the altar cloth. The altar was arranged intuitively, not perfectly. She reminded her viewers that real magic is messy and TH-cam magic is staged to be asthetically pleasing.
I've worked with a particular deity and a small number of spirit animals. I've had sightings of some of the animals in the wild, but I am in one of those "dark night of the soul" periods and there hasn't been any connection. This too shall pass.
💖💚💖
🌟🌟🌟 Wonderful video !!! I'm messy & really out of the boxes ! 😃 Thank you ❤️
Maybe we're all just out of the ordinary?
I am a neuro spicy mixed media artist and would much rather do fun things that feed my soul than dust and vacuum and sometimes (the majority of the time) I do just that! I have a sister that is the total opposite in all the ways and has to have her all gray, black and White House completely spotless before she does anything else. I love my “messy” creative full of life life!! Thank u for this!! 😊
✨✨✨😂
Thank you for this beautiful, honest sharing, thoroughly enjoyed every bit! Because my blog is "Barefoot on the Gaia Path" you can probably guess that I'm right there with you among the no-straight-lines and exquisite-layers-of-imperfection that grace our lives in every moment. Blessings! ⭐⭐⭐
I'll check it out!
Magick meeting social media meeting self development meeting lifestyle (meeting 90's tv witches) indeed created a huge association between things that can co exist and be linked together but its not an absolute way. I always think of people in that past that just used spoken charms, maybe some little bags or poppets for their craft while hugely praying Jesus, Mary and the Saints for good harvest and health etc. We tend to think magick should be impressive/aesthetic/ceremonial like.... But folk magick history kinda highly how the extraordinary wasnt so detached from the ordinary.
Yes! Real folk magic is born out of necessity and relationship with the land.
Keep it simple, I say!
Beautiful! Thank you!⭐🌟🌠
You are so welcome

I’m new here
Welcome! I hope to hear from you❤️
I have been a witch since year 2000. My struggle is I live a small apartment where is my husband and my struggle is trying to find somewhere to create sacred space and to have an altar and such.😊
How nice that you have a partner to practice with. ✨❤️✨
Thank you
You're welcome 🤗🤗🤗
It sure is!

⭐️⭐️⭐️just love you april. So want to do a vr to this ❤
yes do one - I so enjoy your message as well.
@@cynthiahamblin-perry5880 aww thank you ❤️❤️
I would love to hear you chime in on this! ❤️
I much prefer to see a "wild" garden than a manicured garden.
♥️♥️♥️
It’s probably my ADHD that contributes to my messiness. However, I get on these cleaning binges…I recently stayed up all night cleaning and rearranging. It made my head feel better. Although, it is exhausting at nearly 52. I am happy with the rearrangement and the sweeping/vacuuming. It gets the Chi flowing in a way where I can breath a little deeper. All the rest…well, I try to remind myself to fill in the cracks (my imperfections) with gold - like a beautiful Ming vase that was broken and restored with gold. Idk, the image works for me. Not being so hard on myself to conform to societal norms has always been a challenge in my head. I just learned they now call ADHD people Neuro-divergent! What does that even mean?? lol. 😂 Whatever it means, I know that I am beautiful and brilliant, creative, and can solve just about any puzzle/problem when I hyper-focus. Se la vi. F the norm. I like me 🫶🏼
Messi is good!
I'm in no way a polished put together witch. I've also gotten to the point where I'm letting go of even aiming for order and ritual. I do what feels right in the moment.
I feel the same. I love impromptu witching. Also, I'm so familiar with elements of ritual that it's easier now for me to weave them in the fly

I am totally disconnected from "he said she said." You can do that too.
