As a witch for over 20 years my best advice is-If you're tired or sick, don't do it. As a beginner witch I often forced myself to do spells and rituals when I didn't feel well or was exhausted and I always felt worse afterwards. If you're feeling rough, put that spell off for another day or forget the full moon ritual and curl up with a book instead. Self-care is a ritual in itself.

[@ellietaylor6940]

Likewise, not claiming to be an expert - even many years in my practice is constantly evolving - but things I would tell my seventeen year old self if I could: 1. Don't be afraid of the quiet patches - there's times when the powers that be, your deities / energies / however you frame them seem to be intense as f**k, and others where you're getting nothing. They haven't deserted you, things aren't always loud and showy. Learning to hear the silence, sit with yourself, reflect is spiritual practice too. 2. You don't need the trappings - are there beautiful tools out there, hell yes. Do you need to survive on toast so you can buy them all, no. I've seen people's lovingly found driftwood stick channel more energy than a fancy-pants carved wand. Use what calls to you, not what you think you should. 3. Don't be afraid of going with your gut - much of the literature I read when first starting out was Wiccan, it was more widely available. Cunningham, De Grandis, Anderson, Eason, Farrar, Green, Beth...all solid authors. I still own books by them and and the language and passion is still something I take from them. Did my gut sit completely comfortably with the structure of Wicca...not really. I love seeing how kitchen / green / folk practices are so much easier to find resources on now, but back then I sometimes thought I was at fault for feeling like I didn't quite fit the mould. Your practice is intensely personal. Trust your gut if it tells you to keep looking, you'll find what fits. 4. Deities don't mind when you wobble - you're a work in progress! I've fallen in and out of the broom-closet so many times over the years, I've freaked out, backed off, returned to church attendance because it was "easier" for other people to accept that sort of faith (I was raised Catholic). All of which was viewed by my personal deities in the energy of what I can only describe as an exasperated but loving raised eyebrow. Its only now, not far from hitting forty, that I've finally reached openly proud and steady practice. Neither of my deities are of the easy variety and both seem to view dark night of the soul sort of wobbling as something of a rite of passage. No deity is going to slam the door in your face just because you needed to work through shit before committing. 5. Speaking of deities, it doesn't always have to be a full pantheon of the same tradition. My female deity is Celtic (Irish line) and my male deity is Norse. (Which eventually made perfect sense as it turns out that while my paternal line is of Irish origin, we descend from Dublin Viking settlers - I honestly didn't see that coming, lol). Go with what calls to you. And if that means working with general energies not specific deities, that's fine too! (Damn, that turned into a mini essay...sorry guys!)

[@MythicGirl2210]

Thank you for this comment tho I've only been practicing for a few months and only just recently learned about deities so this definitely made it a bit more clear:)

[@FilippaSkog]

The 1 and 4 ones are so true. There will be times in life that are just extremely mundane, and periods when magic is on your mind and in your everyday life 24/7. The slumps are ok. Necessary even, if you ask me. It’s healthy to get some rest sometimes, even from the really good things. And, like you, I had a few years when I lost my way due to some seriously destructive relationships in my early adulthood. When I came back I was nervous about astral journeying and calling the goddess whom have been like a mother to me all my life. I was scared she wouldn’t be very happy with me and maybe even have abandoned me. She hadn’t. In fact, she met me with open arms and a big smile and told me ”Oh you silly goose, I was here all along and I knew you’d come back. I’ve missed you.” Like any good mother!

[@cherylh1807]

Thanks for sharing this! I agree! It’s a lot easier to find information nowadays than before. Almost every single book was based on Wicca. I remember being a young teen going to the bookstore to copy information from those books because I couldn’t possibly come home with one. Lol 😂

[@rubberducky893]

Thank you. Honestly, I was afraid that my deities won't work with me because that I was stumbling and clumsy. I was so excited, that I literally jumped head first in open sea (don't recommend, please study first). I wish I could have studied first and learned more. Do I regret it, absolutely not. I first started this with curiosity and a slight hunger for something positive in my life, now after a couple weeks later, I'm having fun. Learning and growing everyday. 😊

Divination with a pendulum was actually what made me believe in witchcraft. In June my mum’s favourite cat ran off while we were on holiday and she used a rose quartz pendulum to find where he was. We had a big divination session to find out and my aunt and I went foraging for a spell. My aunt wrote my mum an incantation for Bastet and she brought Groot back ten minutes after the prayer was read.

[@laylalightwood7751]

livewireOr Witchcraft has absolutely nothing to do with the devil, God or church in the first place. It's not related whatsoever. Many witch (not all, as some do) don't believe in God in the first place. Witchcraft is a practice that deals with energies and nature. It's giving yourself a little nudge, some luck or protection or love. You still have to put effort in. Why would witches "souls be fractured into fragments, open gates of hell and portals for demons to travel"? Many witches, since they craft is strongly connected to it, care deeply about nature. They take better of it then many Christians and yet the Earth is God's creation. Why would people who are doing good (or just minding their own business and no effecting anyone) be sent to Hell, just like that? The whole reason witches are strongly associated with the devil when they have nothing to do with them at all, is because the Catholic Church (before it began to split) blamed everything they didn't understand on witches. Woman dies after seeming perfectly fine the day before? A witch must have cursed her!! (when in reality she died of a heart attack).

[@lukedylon3971]

Here is a personal tip: Do, or at the very least - research - Shadow Work. Work on yourself! Intentions come from our emotional guidance system and if you are unconscious of your hidden intentions you could start a spell and see it blow up in your face. Casting out of unconscious trauma is what I have heard termed as a blind spell. Your craft is essentially going to plug you into the universe and here is a truth that may help save some time - You are an extension of the universe. If you start to consciously contribute with the craft then you had best be ready to see yourself be changed by each spell and piece of knowledge you obtain. If you have any hope at navigating the energy that creates worlds consciously - you had best know yourself as deeply as you can. My first intentional protection spell I summoned nature - as a whole. YUP, and did she answer YUUUUUUPPPP!!!!! swarms of biting insects protected me and my home. At first, I was like this AMAZING and then I was like THIS IS TERRRIFYINNGGG AND OVER JUICED!!! I was so afraid of my circumstances I channeled all that fear into a spell that I ended up having to undo because I entered into it blindly. Always listen to your deeper truths. The best way to decipher this chaotic wild and beautiful universe is to decipher the self. this way you can translate the symbology and not only have your foot in the nonphysical world but see where you walk it.

People PLEASE stop bringing the bible in here, cuz no one has the same beliefs, so please respect that. Also, from what i've gathered so far about witchcraft (i'm a beginner at this) it's energy-based, mostly innofencive (depends on how you use it of course, there are evil witches and wizards out there). It is a belief just like yours, you believe in God, i believe in nature, the power of crystals, of the Moon and energy. Also, while you say we will go to hell, I'll let you remember that Jesus said to love everyone, and look at you: you're spreading hate, and your ancestors burned innocent people because of that hate. So please, if you want to be a good person, stop hating, stop believing that you're always right. Please.

[@DownBadAutistic]

I'm a "Christian" (raised in the word but starting to lean away after discovering I'm pansexual) and I find the craft really interesting!! I agree with you, just because you believe "Witches burn in hell" doesn't mean you need to spread negativity. In fact, from my research, it's against the Bible to hate people because of who they are as well!! Don't correct me if I'm wrong, any Christians reading this. I've never read a Bible in my life and don't plan to. Sorry not sorry! :)

[@reelan1036]

I grew up in a very Christian society but let me tell you, in my culture so many people still believe in witch craft even after 333 years of Spanish colonization but they don't really call it witch craft here because it's mostly for warding off bad energy and illness so the term witch craft is for the evil kind of dabbling with magic. It's sad that they still believe witch craft is ALL "demonic" which is what they are brainwashed to believe but they ironically still sought out the help of healer witches lol

In the middle of the spell w/both my daughters participating, one of them farted & of course they both giggled then they were concerned they “messed up.” I told them that the Goddess(es) loves & blesses all things even farts so it’s perfectly ok to do so; I did suggest they quietly say “pardon me” for having farted but hey no harm no foul. That one actually made me lol, say right on, & yep I’m subbing! Keep on keeping on. Thnx for the content sister.🌀

I recently found out that I unknowingly manifested my best friend into my life. I drew a picture of her onto my arm with makeup months before I actually met her... I didn't even know why I drew on my arm, sometimes I just do that when I'm bored and I completely forgot about it until I found a picture I took of it. Recently I have actually been manifesting a lot of smaller things and it really got me interested in witchcraft and I think your Video was a good start thank you💕

[@autumngalix4616]

The more I learn about witchcraft the more I realize I've been doing it my whole life without knowing. Also I've been using myself as a battery and I am exhausted lol. Chanting/humming and symbols have always been my go-to so I want to work in herbs and crystals so I'm not always so drained. Upon learning about witchcraft and my connection with it, I better understand myself and my spiritual needs. I am going through a journey of self discovery and spirituality. My connection to the world and the place I choose to be in it. Recently I've been struggling with my religion, as what I was taught about my religion isn't exactly true. With this revelation I have been learning about the divide between what other people believe, what I believe, and the historical context that these beliefs are based on. Witchcraft has helped me feel a little more in control and feels like a refreshing break. I've been avoiding witchcraft because I wasn't sure what it was about, but I always felt connected to it. I'm glad I finally dipped my toes in. It really feels like something I've been doing all along. From wishing on dandelions, to making chants (what I now know are spells, like some of them even work!!), to dream divination (I've been doing this since I was five), and even using my own art to change my life around in ways I previously didn't understand. Some of these things I learned, some of these were innate. It's almost like I had deprived myself of water and now I'm lapping it up. I still find it hard sometimes but it feels natural.

I was dating this guy for about a year until recently he left me because of my depression and anxiety, but when I was with him I completely fell out of my craft, my love for that kind of thing. Now that he's gone I've decided to move because its too emotional for me to stay in the place we shared, I love watching your videos because it inspires me to do what I love, and im ready to find my way back to my practice

[@MsNursenice]

Hey coffee bean. Sorry to hear of your recent unfortunate dating encounter. I don't know you or details of your situation obviously, and I'm not some kind of shrink or love guru nut job. But as I read your post I felt compelled to give you some words of encouragement (I hope :). First, I believe you're in the right place because I feel like Olivia is an amazing person. She radiates with positive energy, and seems like she has a heart as big and true blue as the Colorado sky. She is a huge inspiration in my life too. (The force is strong in that one :) Second, those who don't have depression anxiety do not understand. They somehow think it's something predictable and controllable. Like you're choosing to be depressed and feel physically and mentally exhausted making you want to hibernate away from the world. I've been asked "why can't you just snap out of it?". Well because it doesn't work that way! Far from it in fact. Many people aren't equipped to be in a relationship with someone who does suffer with it. And, if your partner couldn't love all of you including the "dark parts", well maybe you weren't with the right partner after all? Third, and the thing that struck me the most, was what you said about seemingly putting something you love to do on the back burner while you were together. Now, in retrospect do you think maybe you were trying to change who you are to be the person he thought you should be? I think that would be enough to depress and cause anxiety for anyone. Never let anyone dull your shine! Personally, I think you're on the right track by answering the goddess' call. Walk your path. Find what calls to your heart and soul. We each have our own individualized and personal journey to make. She'll be beside you where ever you feel lead to go. The path I walk in the craft helps me stay grounded and centered. I've been able to face my true self and find my inner strength. It helps me stand on my own and be a stronger, more powerful woman and boosts my self esteem. I hope this helps and blessed be my coven mate :)

[@chrisny12]

Do you consider yourself to be a good person? Most people do. However, most of us differ as to the definition of "good." The Bible says that God is good, and the Ten Commandments are His standard of goodness. So, we will look at God's Law . . . With a tender conscience, ask yourself if you have obeyed the following: You shall have no other gods before Me. (Have you always loved God above all else?) You shall not make yourself an idol. (Have you made a god in your mind that you're more comfortable with, a god to suit yourself?) You shall not take God's name in vain. (Have you ever used God's holy Name as a cuss word?) Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy. Honor your father and mother. You shall not murder. (God considers hatred to be as murder). You shall not commit adultery. ("Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart" Matthew 5:27-28; this also includes sex before marriage). You shall not steal. (Have you ever stolen anything? the value of the item is irrelevant). You shall not lie. (Have you lied even once? Including answering these questions). You shall not covet. (Have you ever jealously desired what belongs to others?) The Bible says that God will punish all murderers, rapists, thieves, liars, adulterers, etc. He will even judge our words and thoughts. On Judgment Day, will you be found to be guilty or innocent of breaking His commandments? Perhaps you think that God is good, and will therefore overlook your sins. But it is His goodness that will make sure that murderers, rapists, thieves, liars, etc. receive justice. He would be a corrupt Judge if He turned a blind eye to injustice. Have you kept the Commandments? The Bible says that the Law is perfect. It commands you to be perfect (Matthew 5:48). Are you perfect (in thought, word, and deed)? Will you make it to Heaven? You may say that you are still good, but God says you're not (see Psalm 14:2-3). So one of you is lying, and the Scriptures tell us that it is impossible for God to lie. Remember that all liars will be cast into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 21:8). God's Law demands justice, and the penalty for sinning against Him is death and Hell. Listen carefully if you want to live. God Himself made a way where His justice and His goodness could meet. We broke the Law, but He became a man to pay the fine. Jesus suffered and died on the cross to satisfy the Law. God can forgive us and grant us the gift of everlasting life! But you may still think that you can (from now on) keep the Ten Commandments. But isn't it true that the best of us have lied, stolen, lusted, hated, failed to love God above all else, and failed to love our neighbor as ourselves? How can we then, live a "good" life if we have already sinned against God? At best we are reformed liars and thieves . . . but still Lawbreakers. Think of it this way - would you sell one of your eyes for a million dollars? Would you sell both for $50 million? I'm sure you wouldn't. Your eyes are priceless, yet they are merely the windows of your soul. What then must your life (soul) be worth? With these thoughts in mind, what would be a fair price to pay for everlasting life? It is utterly without price. Yet, if we trust in our own goodness to enter Heaven, we are saying to God, "I should enter Heaven because I have done good - I have earned my way in." Imagine if you wanted to give me a brand new (very expensive) car, but I said, "I can't take it! I feel embarrassed receiving such a gift . . . here's 10 cents for it." I'm sure you would be very insulted by such a pathetic offer of payment. Besides, if I pay for it, it is no longer a gift, it's a purchase . . . it's mine by right. When we talk of entering Heaven by being good, by trying to keep the Ten Commandments etc., we are tossing God 10 cents of "self-righteousness," which is a terrible insult to Him, in the light of His sacrifice. The only thing we can do is humble ourselves, repent of our sins, and receive the gift by trusting Jesus Christ alone. Almighty God demonstrated how much He loves you when Jesus suffered for you on the cross. If you want to trust in your own goodness, then you are saying His agonizing death on the cross was in vain. The Bible says, "For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." You cannot earn a gift. When Jesus said to "believe" on Him, He was saying we should have faith in Him, in the same way you would trust a parachute to save you when you jump from a plane. You don't merely believe in the parachute - you put it on. Please don't "jump" without Jesus. If you die in your sins there is no second chance. God will give you justice, and you will end up in Hell forever. Any troubles you have at present are dwarfed by the trouble you are in with your Creator. His wrath abides upon you (John 3:36). God doesn't want you to go to Hell. Neither do you want to go there, so confess your sins to God right now, put your trust in Jesus to save you, and you will pass from death to life. Then read the Bible daily and obey what you read. (See John 14:21). Your obedience to God is the proof of your love. Have faith in God, He will never fail you. Pray something like this: "Dear God, today I turn away from all of my sins (name them). This day I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. He is the only way for me to be saved. He is 'The way, the truth, and the life.'" Please forgive me, change my heart, and grant me Your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."

So we cant believe their interpretation as gospel, they're mere human beings and they're often quite problematic.

These are some thing that I have learned over my years of study and practice 1. You don’t need to celebrate every single pagan holiday every year- you may want to but it’s not always practical to have a full on celebration for it especially if you’re going solo and potentially have memory issues it can be pretty hard to do that 2. You don’t need to worry about finding your deity or pantheon- when it’s time they’ll let you know and that experiences don’t people’s experiences with deities one general is personal just be open to it but don’t try to make it happen too fast 3. You can work with many pantheons if you wish- you don’t have to stick to just one, I’ve communicated with deities from the Norse, Greek, and Egyptian pantheons and certain members of each have helped me with various things since my beginnings 4. Seriously you don’t need all the fancy tools- find and make your own when you can if you want them with things that call out to you personally, they’ll often be more attuned to you that way 5. Things get weird and the deities are often not super serious all the time- seriously a lot of the deities love a good party and just joy and happiness and fun 6. As she said write things down- it really does help as you go through it and grow in your practice to look back on those things and maybe make notes in a different color in your notebook 7. Yes use two different books for writing things down- one you can make as pretty as you want the other you can add in little notes in the margins or whatever with like taking notes for school or whatever and it can be messy 8. Don’t be afraid to use technology to help with your craft- there are apps for helping identify local plants, there are tarot apps (I use the witches tarot), there are apps to help with stones, there are apps that you can use as a digital book of shadows (I have one called Wicca plus even though I’m not Wiccan it works for me and you can edit and add things to it and pictures), there’s apps to help you with moon phases, and just all sorts of witchy apps that can help you out don’t be afraid to use them okay

For me, I started getting into all this as a way of reconnecting with my family traditions, but I'm literally a scientist. I may be an "applied" scientist, but that's still a scientist. So when I'm going through all this stuff I keep catching my self feeling silly because it's woo woo. I would have told myself to just vibe with it, don't try to classify it all using the paradigms we use in the natural sciences. It's like how classical physics with big stuff acts completely different than quantum physics with tiny junk, they're different paradigms. It's not "science" because you can't really replicate everything exactly the same or disprove things the same way, but that doesn't mean it's not real. Like, it doesn't have to be "factual" to be "real". Science has zero factual proof that a money bowl spell will do anything, but I did one and it worked/is working. A whole bunch of stuff like that has happened to me and I can debunk it and dismiss it as coincidence real easy, but if I do that it makes it less useful. Like, is this sigil on my notebook helping me concentrate because of magic or because it reminds me to get my junk done? It doesn't really matter, because at the end of the day, it works. So when you're first starting out you really got to be able to put aside rules that don't apply and stop trying to judge it by those rules. A soccer ref isn't in charge of a basketball game, and Magic is the basketball game. Also, fun fact, after I started getting into this stuff deeper and I finally started getting out of the broom closet with some of my other scientist friends it turned out that a bunch of them were into "woo woo" stuff too and was afraid to tell anyone because they didn't want to be judged. A geologist friend said there's no scientific way that crystals have special powers, but she loves crystal magic because they feel different to her and they make her happy. It turned out that the majority of my STEM friends were just waiting for the opportunity to talk about magic and were all about it and that my friends in fields that weren't attached to the sciences were less likely to be into it. So if any of yall find yourself saying "whats with all these ghosts, I'm a scientist dang it!" that might be why they're talking to you lol.

[@GLamoRousCooKie]

I don't get this thing with science vs. Meta-physical at all. I'm in science as well, I'm a med student. And I'm starting to get into witchcraft. I know plenty of people who are religious yet they're scientists. Science and religion or spiritualism aren't exclusive, they're two COMPLETELY different things. And that's excluding the fact that you don't even need to be religious or spiritual to practice witchcraft. I actually think most scientists are curious about the meta-physical. Seems like you've come to find out the same thing.

I completely understand what you mean! I've been hugely skeptical all my life and I am a scientist too (or at least, I want to be) but lately, I've been feeling a calling(?)IF YOU CAN CALL IT THAT(????) to the more spiritual aspects of life. I always knew my mom had a spiritual connection and I'm getting a similar thing as well (like...we keep finding cards randomly. Doesn't matter the country. Usually, something happens right after and now I'm like MAAAAYBE the two are connected). Ok waffle over anyway yey science and woo woo stuff

[@Seithman1974]

As a witch who has been honing his Craft for a little over twenty years and still has plenty to learn, I really appreciated this video. I think you've given some excellent advice. One thing I'd add to your fifth point ("Intention is important, but not everything") is that sometime, planning a magical working (my preferred term for spellwork) is that the process often clarifies one's intention, which makes for effective magic. Sometimes, the careful consideration of the working itself can lead to massive revisions of one's intention as one gains clarity about what one is ultimately trying to accomplish and possible alternatives to achieve it.

So I desperately did a money/fortune spell out of desperation. I had a friend help me out one night because I needed help really bad. The day after I passed an exam that failed 5 times previously that I needed to pass for a job and then 30 mins later I got offered 2 jobs. I was in disbelief. I now make more money than I ever have before. There was so much energy going into it and the ingredients I used helped. I am So into this. I’m very excited.

[@user-fl5mp3he5r]

around 8 months ago i started to get into witchcraft and spirituality. i've always been interested in witchcraft and spirituality ever since i was little. i liked reading, and i started to believe. i never said this out loud, because it sounded silly to me and i come from a pretty religious family, but i still believed anyway. so 8 months ago i started researching and doing small practices, i didn't remember why, but after 2-3 months i fell out of it. i guess i was too caught up with other stuff, and if i recall correctly i was also afraid it'd backfire. i didn't want to be caught by my family (i still live with them because my uni is in the same town). so i stopped doing practices until last october-november. i went through a hard time and spirituality was what helped me. it wasn't intentional, though. just like other people who had a hard time, i tried to find an answer, an explanation, anything to solve my problems. so i got tarot readings. did they solve my problems? not exactly, but they made me reflect. i did a lot of self-reflections, and recently i realized that i tried too hard to do things the same way other people do them instead of choosing to do them in a way that i'm comfortable with. i came in terms with that, and now here i am, trying to fall back in! this video makes me feel more confident in restarting and picking up things where i left it. at this point i'm just blabbering and what i say might not make sense but thank you so much for this. ❤

[@wbc5058]

What do you mean by backfire? Does casting spell or any ritual has back fire?

[@justabugge]

waldy I’m a very new witch (been one for a year) and from what I know, spells (particularly ones of malicious intent or meant to drive out negative things) can be done incorrectly or without proper safeguards and this can cause a “backfire” of sorts. For example, if you were doing a curse, but didn’t guard yourself and cleanse your space afterwards, you could end up receiving residual bad stuff from your curse. And your space could be tainted. I’m no expert at all though I’m 100% only in the research phase rn and the most spell work I’ve done is just a small spell an elder witch showed me to help my girlfriend calm down before doing something stressful and I’ve also done altars n such. So only small things. So yeah take my words with a grain of salt ^^

[@justabugge]

@@brolyx1316 hi! Thanks for reaching out, but I’m not experienced enough yet to feel comfortable doing spellwork for anything other than personal and household warding. I’m slowly working on more serious spells, but with witchcraft, the best thing to do is to learn about the plants animals and general world around you, medicinal properties of natural ingredients and why they work, magical properties of of those same things, the history of witchcraft, etc, then learn warding and protection, then small scale personal spells (ie prosperity, luck, etc.), and slowly build towards more intensive spells. This process should take a few years, in my opinion. I wish I was at a level of skill and knowledge to help you right now, but sadly, I’m not and the last thing I’d want to do is mistakenly bungle a spell and harm you or myself, as that’s an easy thing to do. I wish you the absolute best of luck, and I hope whatever is troubling you will resolve or stop troubling you. Remember, you are mighty, as we all are, and you can control how you perceive your world. You deserve to be happy and prosperous. Good luck!!

I do rpe (religion philosophy and ethics) at school and the main premise is leaning about different contrasting beliefs and writing about them etc. I often have to speak from a Christian point of view even though I'm not Christian and honestly it is sooo important and interesting. Through learning about it I spotted things I didn't agree with which strengthened my own belief and I also saw strengths in there arguments and weaknesses in my own which helps me understand others beliefs . If more people did this without judgement even on a small individual level I think the world would be a much more accepting place.
