Hey everyone :) just wanted to quickly say that the dream catcher that is in the background was gifted to me by an initiated shaman ❤️ As I already received a few questions on it, I just wanted to clarify that real quick 😁

[@rosiec8571]

Hi! I'm new to this so I'm going to be very active on your videos haha!

[@LittleMissEmoGurl]

A shaman still had no business giving you that, it's part of Ojibwe culture. you probably should have looked into native American and first nation creators if you wanted a dream catcher

[@silasrose8540]

@@LittleMissEmoGurl I'm Ojibwe and I have no issue with people having dreamcatchers or burning sage as long as they give thanks to the culture and people who gave it to them.

[@kimikosmith7071]

Silas Rose my aunt got me a dream catcher from Bali and I think when I had it up I had nightmares and sleep paralysis. Do you know if there's a reason for it?

[@silasrose8540]

@@kimikosmith7071 Not sure, dreamcatchers usually don't work from my experience unless it's made from someone who's been making them for a long time. The string pattern matters too, if there's a hole in the middle it means it should work, if there isn't then it's just decor.

1. Read/Research as much as you can 2. Write everything down 3. Take your time, you won't learn everything in a week 4.Join a group/community (Discord, Reddit, Insta, etc.) 5. Make sure you double-check what you read, people make mistakes 6.Know the difference between Wicca and witchcraft 7. Wicca is a religion, it's not for everyone. 8. Protection is important (Physically, Mentally, Spiritually, etc.) 9. Don't worry about fancy tools and/or altars, tools are optional 10. You can substitute any tools you want (a chopstick instead of a wand, white candle instead of and another candle color, etc.) 11. It's okay if you miss a full moon or Sabbats, you're still a witch. 12.Practice meditation, intuition, mindfulness (You don't need to sit criss cross with candles next to you and have an empty mind to meditate, just do something that makes you stop thinking about the world and just feel) 13. Spells shouldn't be your first option for every obstacle in life 14. Spells don't always work immediately, give it time 15. You are still a witch/Wiccan even if you don't practice daily Bonus tip: Nature is your best friend (If you are feeling down take a walk or sit outside or just connect to nature) Sorry if this was inaccurate, I tried lol. Enjoy!

[@frostbelle2205]

hey! 16 too and a baby witch (dw you totally arent late at all), but i’ve got a couple tips: first, think about what you’re drawn to. there’s so much info out there and it can be overwhelming, so pick an area you’re really interested in and learn all you can. do you like plants? candles? the ocean? astrology? personally i’m into runes, herbalism, and crystals, and i read a lot of forums, online wikis, and managed to cop a book on runes. if you have a library card, see if they have any ebooks (they especially seem to have ones on “home remedies”; you can learn a lot about herbal properties in those). dont forget to write everything down! if you’re worried about your family seeing it, do it in your notes app, but i personally think you retain more if you write by hand. nothing fancy, just a binder and some loose leaf. finally, don’t rush into spells until you feel confident that you are ready, and keep it simple until you build up stamina. hope this helps! :)

[@cassie8569]

3:30 - read as much as you can - look into history, paths, where it comes from, what it actually is. this is for better experience and you can use books, videos and websites. 5:45 - write everything down - one of the ways for the brain to hold onto the information and you will be able to look back at ur start ~ a book of shadows 6:30 - take ur time - don’t be overwhelmed take ur time and concentrate as best as possible don’t feel like ur missing out on anything it’s normal to feel intimidated you won’t learn everything in a week it will take time. you will always be learning 8:36 - ask questions and join communities from people - facebook/instagram/reddit is a good way to find people to talk to and you can learn from them 10:05 - dont take everything online real - double check or even triple check if u need we are humans and all make mistakes 11:17 - make sure u know the difference between witchcraft and wicca - understand that wicca is a religion so treat it with respect and be open minded 11:57 - wicca is not for everyone - there is plenty more paths this contains rules and beliefs which may not a line with u 12:30 - protect urself - make sure u understand how to protect urself and to make sure u have your boundaries in place i apologize i didn’t finish this but i hope it helps a few people who are watching and need a smaller definition, love the video btw

I appreciate your videos so much I started being drawn to Wicca almost 15 or 16 years ago when I was in high school. I even have a little “self dedication” page written when I was a teen which I just rediscovered a while ago and it made me smile. Over the years I have researched my little butt off and have come to the conclusion that Wicca no longer suits me and I am now just practicing witchcraft, without the religious aspect. It warmed my heart to hear you say that “maybe Wicca was simply the stepping stone to find the path you are meant to be on” because for me it was Blessed evening!

But every time a sabbath went by I felt this insane amount of guilt for not celebrating it (usually because I had to work and was not allowed to take time off).

this is kinda hard for me to share online but i really want some help and advice from people. obviously my name is audrey and i’m 16 years old. i live in a strict roman catholic household and feel guilty in a way for being interested in wicca. i have struggled with severe depression and anxiety for the past 3-4 years and have been to countless rehabs and mental facilities. i have been through so much therapy and medications and my mom makes me speak to her catholic friends about my struggles. i was just in a mental facility after attempting suicide from jan 22 until april 2. after that i did a partial program (full days of therapy except you get to live at home). while there, i met this holistic therapist and something she did really drew me in. she showed us pictures and i picked one and the description was so accurate, and none of the other descriptions of other pictures were that precise. i have always felt what i called “vibes” (sounds cliche) from people. it’s like a sixth sense where i knew something “good” or “bad” was going to happen and i was almost always right. i am a very empathetic person as well, to the point where sometimes my heart literally aches and hurts for the person. recently i’ve felt a lot of rebellion towards my controlling parents but i also have found comfort in knowing that i don’t HAVE to be catholic, i can do what i feel is right for me. which is where i discovered Wicca. i just need advice as to how and where to start, i feel sooo overwhelmed with everything and i just don’t know where to begin. if someone could respond to this, or you could dm me on instagram for a more private chat, that would be very appreciated and kind. my instagram is @audreyconrad. so if anyone can help, please do

[@PiscisChic]

I grew up Roman Catholic. I remember praying the Rosary 📿 but exclusively the Virgin Mary part of it. Now I understand that was The Goddess guiding me towards her through the representation of a Holy woman. As a person suffering with both depression and anxiety the only thing i can tell you is to gather strength from those sad/crazy/manic feelings. Those strong emotions can teach you a lot about yourself re trauma and recovery. Best of luck!

[@audreyc9699]

VickaOwO thank you so so much, i appreciate this long reply a lot. it’s super helpful and i’ll go look up your insta. it means a lot to know that there are complete strangers out there whom are willing to share their experiences and advice and it gives me hope ❤️

[@bethwaller1789]

You sound like me when I was your age. I am 72, now. If there is one thing I can give you, it is this: you will survive this. Trust your feelings and don't let anyone else tell you who you are or who you're supposed to be. Where to start? Read, learn, talk to people, and hang on! Your day will come. Be at peace, knowing that.

[@morningmayan]

Such a great vid! I write magic books but I always tell people but go find other experts - and check your gut!

I can’t believe people make videos like this helping others and nasty others dislike the videos that shows how evil people can be. Edit: hey I just realized your hair is the most beautiful hair I’ve ever seen ☺️😊

My mother is a witch and I really want to get into wicca but I'm like- 12 and I want to make a happiness spell jar thing by myself without asking my mom for things... because that's embarrassing for some reason- uhhhhhhhhhh yeah

[@sparklingserindajrc]

I've been doing witchcraft since July and its so interesting!! Don't worry I am doing my research and will continue my craft until I move out of my house and finally have a proper alter 😊

[@simcorvus4559]

When you talk about knowing how to be able to protect yourself from spirits/beings with negative intentions... how do you do that? Could you make a video on that? I dont know what to even type in in order to research this.

[@EllaHarrison]

Yes I am making a series on protection on my channel :) if you are curious about researching, the best thing to read up on would be “spiritual protection” and “cleansing negative energy”

[@simcorvus4559]

[@rosiec8571]

Hi! I just wanted to say thank you for making this video! I'm just starting to do some research on witches and witchcraft, and it's nice to watch videos rather than to read books!

[@ashleylourenco9439]

is there a type of witch attracted to fire and that type of element? I feel like maybe that is me if it isn't water, but then again I barely know what the types are.

[@LoreEclectic]

Yep! Fire witch is a thing! You could study flame reading if it interests you or research sun deities

[@xxzzz7467]

Laura Francis and water which too?

[@LoreEclectic]

@@xxzzz7467 Yep! I don't practice much with water aside from using the element in spells but I believe water witch is more of an umbrella term and some witches prefer to say swamp witch, river witch, sea witch depending on their local body of water or what they feel most connected to

[@xxzzz7467]

Laura Francis omg That’s so cool bc I love water and the sea since I can remember so maybe This is Something for me

[@LoreEclectic]

@@xxzzz7467 That's wonderful! If you're interested you could try some casual witchery by making sun or moon water! You can use it for plants, to drink, to make tea with, to wash your face ect. Sun water is for growth creativity courage strength and physical healing it's made by holding water directly up to the sun in a clear bottle or jar and letting it pass through. Then moon water is for manifesting, cleansing, protection, blessings and psychological healing. That's made by leaving it in a on your windowsill for the moon to touch at night. Try it next full moon, on the second! And since you feel drawn to water witchcraft you can possibly collect some shells and sea water as well

i have a real bad struggle with my mental health, and as much as i love my practice, its difficult to keep it a constant in my life, i end up going through ebbs and flows of inspiration and depression. So i just want to thank you for tips that i can easily incorporate and try to weave into my routines and habits, just as little bits of mindfulness and reminders, it means a lot to me. Hope you have a wonderful day/night

I'm 12 and I want to start witchcraft (green witch) but I don't know where to begin and i'm very overwhelmed does anybody have ant tips or pointers on how to start please

[@evelynlara6014]

Hi! I’m literally in the same spot except I’m 13. I’d recommend find some plants that can grow in your room and connect with them. Care for them, talk to them, see what they like, and once you’re connected you can ask for their leaves to use in spell work. If you can’t have the plant in your room then keep it outside and visit them often. If you have any more questions I’m open 🙂

after more than 6 months of reading and researching this video really helped me get up and ready to start my Wiccan path. I remember watching this video before Summer Solstice and buying Raymond Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft and after reading, I fell in love and was completely happy with being a Wiccan. So thank you so much for helping me get started Ella :) may the Earth grant you much happiness and success in life 💖🌙 ✨

[@CrowsCupOfTea]

For anyone who doesn’t believe... I have a question Why did you click on the video?

[@taliskujim4736]

Ok I confess I can't believe in Witchcraft / magick that much but, -I like video games with magic. Some I played include Cotton Reboot, Deathsmiles, Sayurin the Witch's Magical Quest 1 and 2, Trails of Cold Steel 1-4. I also want to make magic-themed video games on my own sometime and thought videos like these on KZbin would give me ideas. 😅

[@taliskujim4736]

-I think my interest in Lucid dreaming also motivates me to watch videos like this on KZbin. I guess the Witchcraft practitioners here in the comments could benefit from trying lucid dreaming? 😅

[@taliskujim4736]

I'm also curious what the other non believers clicked on this video for. Have a nice day.

[@taliskujim4736]

Sorry I replied with many comments because if I combined them into 1 comment it gets deleted.

[@taliskujim4736]

Also, Im curious about Witchcraft practitioners. I don't just want to hear about them from staunch Christians. I've seen Jenny Weaver. Now I want to see other sides about magick.

[@veritybear9086]

My family tree is full of witches and high priestesses and I always had a feeling my mom was a witch, even more so when she ran away and I felt like she was never really gone. I could always read peoples energies, could always feel when someone liked me more than a friend or hated me, or when someone had harmful intentions and their energy was just pure evil. And I would hear random voices sometimes telling me to go inside or warning me. At first I thought I was just crazy growing up, until I started manifesting without knowing what it was yet and accidentally cursing people who had abused me in school and at home. I always felt more spiritual than religious, and felt out of place when my grandpa made me go to church as a kid. I didn’t feel any type of connection at all. My sisters and I would always talk about how we thought my mom was a witch. Well, now that I’ve found her she’s told me and reassured me that I’m not crazy, and that she used to practice until my awful and abusive, Christian biological dad didn’t let her. Then I started practicing while I lived with him in secret. I started doing it without even knowing I was a descendent yet, then one of my sisters took it on too without my influence as I had started doing it in secret and she’s loving it. She’s a green witch, but I don’t think she knows it yet. I’ve escaped from my dad, and have been with my mom learning more about myself and what I’m really capable of. I finally feel like I can be myself. My mother treated me horribly because my dad abused her before she ran away when I was 12, but now I know that she was just so filled with my dads negative energy and hatred it wasn’t her fault. My mom used to be apart of a coven and everything. All of my habits, connection to nature and animals, and being able to read energies and even predict deaths make so much more sense. I used to just be an atheist and not believe in anything because I cursed myself when I was depressed and lonely and suicidal, my dad made me hate myself. Now he says he’s no longer my dad, which I’m thankful for, because I’m finally free from the awful energy that he oozes. I’ve never felt more free and happy. Yes. Witches are real. And now I can fully believe in this art and heal my mental health at the age of 19.

[@-crystla446]

im 14 i don’t have anything yet so im doing some research since some of my older friends are witches i plan on starting doing more things when im 15-16 since i can get a car and job (even though im starting a small business soon) then i can drive to the small witch shop that’s 30 minutes away from me

what is your small business about? hehe

[@-crystla446]

xyce syew so you usually buy it wholesale like 100 for a certain price you can usually order up to 1000+ and then you have to make a logo and order eyelash cases, it’s a lottt of different kind. but i also want to sell other stuff im not sure on what though

Help needed! When I was little, I used to see these spirits/entities whatever they were in our home, and have nightmares about them every night. My mother told me after we moved from there that it had to have been haunted. As a teen, I would often see shadows and such. I've only ever told them to go away and leave me alone. I've closed that part of me off for a long time. But I often feel like I'm being followed by a shadow, being watched, and I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night sweating, and feeling a presence in the room. I don't really want to open myself up to it, but I want it to stop. What can I do about this?

It’s one of my priority videos 😁 I will try and film this asap 🙈

[@crimsonchaos6401]

Tips: Say you’ve taken interest in mythology, get some “pretty” crystals from somewhere, get those candles with saints/non witchy labels, Buy witchy books to go “learning the tactics of the enemy so you can convert them”, or go with a friend to these stores so you don’t have to buy them infront of parents. Use a separate Google account for witchy things/a google doc for your book of shadows.

For your book of shadows, id say use a school style notebook!
