A Witch Reacts║ I Spent a Day with a Manifesting Witch

[@HearthWitch]

Apparently "Interesting" was the word of the day 😂

[@ruthgarcia2954]

Hello Hearth! I wanted you to know I appreciate your content and presence. I'm going to ask you for some advice, but please don't feel pressured or obligated to answer. Well, here goes! I have been casually studying witchcraft for about a year as the topic has consistently recurred in my life and honestly I found it interesting. However, I am hesitant to do any workings because I don't want anything negative to be attracted to my energy. (And I be unable to do anything about it) So, here's the problem. I'm going to be moving relatively soon and I want to cleanse the new space but I'm concerned that an attempt might for lack of better words, poke the bear but not drive it away. (if there were anything malicious/negative) So, any advice about that specific situation or generally how to move forward with my craft? Feel free to ask questions or for more detail.

[@officert5147]

@@ruthgarcia2954 hiya- I know I am not Hearth but if you'd like, I'll offer my two cents. I think that if witchcraft calls to you, you should go for it. Please don't worry, there is no cosmic force waiting to pounce on you the second you start. I was intimidated when I first started. But as you get more comfortable, it will not seem so uncertain. Learning how to do magical workings is a great way to build your confidence. Now as for cleansing a new space, it is important to also claim your space. If you want to clean out a place energetically, and you are worried about an unfriendly entity sticking around and getting cross with you, the key is confidence. A half-hearted cleansing is a poor one. When you clear the energy of a place, you must then replace the empty space with something, or whatever you got rid of may just mosey right back in. Be polite, but firm in your conviction that this is Your Space, and You decide what kind of energy is allowed in. I suggest looking into home protection work. Look into warding and shielding, new home cleansings amd blessings, that sort of thing. Of course this is only one perspective. But hopefully it gave you something to think about :)

Mary we meet sister witch. I have been a witch for 18 years. and of course as a witch I know that we are always learning. Love your channel and I plan on watching more. Also wanted to let you know that the chronicle hat or also known as The witches hat actually has a purpose. It is used in a ceremony called The cone of power. Now you don't necessarily need a witch's hat to perform the cone of power, but it helps you visualize and concentrate on that cone of power coming down from the heavens/universe and then up from the Earth and both heaven and Earth meet in the middle of yo, such as the saying goes as above So below and as below so above. Keep on doing what you do. And always keep leaning. Sending Much Love! Blessed Be Sister Witch PS I am learning from you!

[@KestralWolfe]

I'll be honest here; I came into this video already angry from the intro. I was both angry, and had a growing feeling of superiority, the "Hah! She's not a REAL witch, she's a poseur, an Instagram faker!". That was intensely unfair, cruel, and wrong of me. It is clear that this being is sincere in her work, and her practices work for her. Sure, some of it looks... odd, but it's /her/ practice, and it very clearly makes her very happy. It is very clearly her being true to her inner self. She seems 'childish' to some of our eyes, but all she's doing is giving in to that child-self inside of her that looks at the world through open, wondering eyes. That's child-like, not childish. I felt it when she spoke of walking around asleep for so long. I walked through nightmares when I was a child, trying not to see, trying to suppress what I felt, because according to my parents' religion it was wrong and evil. Emotional/physical response to magical work is common, and it is (usually) a very good release, or tool to help work deeper.

[@ThePeculiarBrunette]

This!! I love your honesty here! I felt exactly the same and I definitely had to check my ego. After I did so, I was so happy that she has been able to find a practice that brings her joy and happiness. Who am I to judge her and what works best for her? :)

I get this reaction a lot with other witches, I don’t look and fit the aesthetic of a witch. Every time I share my practice on social media there are always witches who try to put me down. I wish some witches were more understanding. There is not a right or wrong way to practice this craft

[@Lucretciela]

Don't feel bad, Hearth, I'm a witch, and I live within a 1/2 mile proximity from this woman, and I've also never heard of her.

[@autumnkate280]

She's pretty amazing. i've watched a good portion of her videos so have a good feel for her. She's a growing channel 10k plus subscribers, plus 17k or so on instagram. She has a thriving magical coaching practise with some outstanding testimonials. It's quite a niche area as not everyone considers having a witch as their coach and she doesn't hide that that's where she's coming from. I think her subscriber rates would be through the roof if she was more mainstream. She's done an awful lot of shadow work and it's paid off.

[@lucysour]

I don't have any real issue with Sky or Mia, but I would like to point out that manifesting is deeply situational. Mia has a business, so manifesting for her is selling magical guidance to other people. Again, this is totally fine, but looking at only successful people as proof of manifesting is flawed. For every young, beautiful, white witch with a successful platform, there are many other witches who don't fit into those categories that will have a harder time manifesting success similar to Mia's. It's like how our society tends to only look at olympic gold medalists and say, "Wow, they wanted it so bad they tried their hardest, and they succeeded!" As if there aren't legions of other dedicated athletes also trying their best. Hopefully I'm getting my point across without sounding salty. On another note, honestly I'd love to spend a day at Mia's house, it looks awesome.

[@MrsDaedalus_]

Thank you for pointing that out! I'm a witch as well, who has a business, but I'm Chinese and from my observations of some business groups on Facebook with a spiritual twist mostly white women that fits into these categories in our community do exceptionally well. It is harder for other witches of colour, who fit or fits not in these categories to do as well as them. A lot of the people, who would invest into their services will be people who has the privilege to do that. I mean good for them, but I don't know...it has taken the community over. And from knowing where I came from, I would never in my life charge an insane amount for money for my services not without having options for people who can't invest in themselves up to 25k due to personal issues or are students who need to pay off student loan.

[@kiram.3619]

Thank you for putting this into words. I couldn't help but feel sceptical, while on the same time feeling like she was genuine in what she said. So I was really confused. But your words cleared things up. She can be genuine, while at the same time not being representative of a wide variety of people. She is herself and that is enough, she doesn't need to represent some sense of normalcy / average :)

[@hanayaoliveira1988]

i have a lot of conflit with ppl beliefs in regards of this topic. It is wrong to think that ppl that are opressed by our system dont get what they disire because 'they dont want it enough' and i also do not feel as this truth spiritualy. I reject reincarnation as an explanation as well, i just think it is cruel to nurturish this biliefs. Recently i am thinking that, as Heart said, magick takes a lot of time and effort, and also requires having acess to knowloge. For exemple, most of my readings are in english, and most brazilians dont have the posibilities i have because of the language barrier. I could overcome them, but not for deserving/wanting/fighting for it. Yes, i belive in manifestation by disire and intention alone, but we live in a society that dont allow a bunch of ppl to belive they can do it. It is cruel and inhumany to say some random superficial Coach discouse to explain poverty or inequality, as if anyone could overcome their financial, mental and psycological blockege like that, without any type of training or any knowloge or a reason to belief in it. The individual mind can shape reality, but reality can also shape our mind and make magick veryyy hard to manifest.

I've tried watching that video twice. I have a hard time getting past the "Ima gonna greet you at the door in a stereotypical witch hat" immediately followed by "I'm a self-appointed ambassador for witchcraft." Also, I'm not the best-read person in the world, but the first time I heard of this "legend" was when the video popped up in my YT feed.... she seems to be very much into looking a certain way, presenting a very specific wealthy hipster vibe that just rubs me the wrong way. I'll try to watch it again in the next few days, then come back and watch your reaction.

[@Saturnarium]

I watched that video also and I was a bit puzzled. If I could give an advice to people learning witchcraft is to not to be fooled by beautiful aesthetics, some of the most powerful witches out there do not want to look like one, because having the identity concealed actually helps having control over the astral forms we project. Just my two cents. Having said that, I think the witch in the video does have some good explanations and I believe she must have manifested a number of things with her magic, the only thing that confuses me is the need to show off the witchiness like that, this would totally ruin my practice but that's just me. I love that hat so much though....

[@kiram.3619]

The aimlessness is the worst. I was i this state and for me it wasn't as bad when I was a child, maybe because of school etc. as good milestones and fewer expectations. Now I'm studying and it got so much worse, I wondered if it was worth standing up in the morning. I personally came to realize that I am a Lesbian and that I was (subconsciously) always imagining my future with some man and deeply unhappy. So yeah, now I'm imagining my future with a woman and I finally feel like I want to arrive there (in my future) eventually :) I wish you the best of luck to find your truth as well and that you can begin with a daydream of a future that you'd want. Maybe there is something you never questioned about yourself, because "it's normal to..." or "everyone feels...". I thought, because those are peoples dreams and values, those should be my dreams and values. And having these expectations for myself was killing me, because I knew deep down that if I pursue these "dreams" I'd be unhappy. So I didn't want to pursue them, I tried to but it made me feel horrible. I never had a sense of getting closer to "my" goal or to achieve anything from the beginning. And in the end, when it got worse, I felt like there was no goal / no happiness for me, so I should just stop reaching. Because however I reach, it's painful and it's not worth the pain. But that's obvious now. It's painful to run into a wall and never reach a goal, not even perceive it, because it's actually opposite to where I'm facing. I was afraid and confused. But I am not anymore. Even without taking the first step, my confusion and fear is gone, because now I'm facing the possibility to dream (my real own dream). I don't even know jet how it'll look exactly and what I want beside a very general idea. Still I know THAT I want things, that I can want things. And I hope you find that too. I believe in you, and it's worth it. The security of pre-dreamed dreams is nothing compared to the security of knowing that what "you" "want" is what YOU really WANT.

Every single nook and cranny is filled with goodies and oh so well organized and has its own home! This is how I feel listening to you speak. Thank you!

[@TarotEstelarRebe]

Hearth thank you for mentioning that people shouldn't blame themselves for the bad things that are done to them. Sometimes in Law of Attraction communities and similar there is this idea that we create the good and the bad (the last one to become a lesson). Recently I had that train of thought about how I created my own separation and even blamed myself for it and many other non-related issues that have left scars in my mind. I was feeling guilty until I realized that those events could or could not be all my fault but I need to heal instead of feeling responsible for everything and then becoming miserable.

Then she literally offers 50 percent off her get rich quick programme where she claims anyone can manifest their dreams including wealth. I dunno there's something icky about paying someone to tell you how to get rich?

I hear you, but people go to teachers to learn, teachers get paid, they go to doctors to heal, doctors get paid, they go to therapist to heal, therapist get paid, other careers don't share their knowledge for free, we all have a lifestyle to maintain.

[@BellBookandCandle13]

the sex magic manifestation exercise looks like some Kundalini techniques. She mentioned she does yoga and I expect she incorporates some other Eastern practices for health and well being as well as manifestation into her craft so it's a great alternative technique to use especially if one isn't comfortable with either doing sex magic with a partner or with themselves it's taking the energy of that but applying it in a way that is a lot like how we direct energy towards our spells when we build up the energy then direct it to what we are manifesting, via dancing or drumming or some physical activity where we build the energy and release it.

ew the thing she said at the end, I have C-PTSD, mostly from early childhood. I can’t believe what some people think being a victim is.... I’ve am a victim of life events that were done to me, when I couldn’t do anything to change the situation, but I’m also a winner because I have so much greatness in me - some related and some unrelated to the fact that I also still suffer from those things that I’ve fallen victim to years and years later. it’s ok to feel that you’re a victim, it doesn’t have to hold you back.

It was really interesting! Most Peculiars loved her and felt she seemed sweet, genuine, and said it motivated them to get more in touch with the energy around them. Others said they couldn't even finish it because they felt it was over the top and targets only women who look like her. (Which obviously she is gorgeous). Several Peculiars felt that it was another example of how crones can be left out and not included in the community.

I love that you touched on the idea that there's no law that says you can't start with the "manifestation" mainstream stuff that's floating around now and then be drawn to witchcraft from there - that's literally what happened to me. I feel like many people turn their nose up at that stuff, and if practiced genuinely, it's another form of spirituality and magic that resonates with people, and can indeed be right for some people who aren't comfortable with the "witchier" aspects (I'm sorry I don't know what else to call it). Always love to get your expansion, insight and fact-checking on those witchy videos as they pop up! Thanks!

A lot of this stuff fascinates me because I've grown up feeling like I was wrong or incomplete.

I'd internalised all the "this will make you stronger" "everything happens for a reason" and the feeling that I must be doing it to myself somehow.

Sometimes bad things happen and they don't make you better or stronger, they just change your course.

Oh my god, this was such a powerful video. I've never cried from one of your reaction videos! And thank you for your comments, it was just as powerful as observing such an interesting practice. Thank you so so much for this discussion!

[@elisaalgaranaz5175]

I enjoyed your video. Always love to witness your generosity in love, acceptance and understanding, I admire your ability to catch issues that need to be addressed or expanded on. I don't doubt that she is practicing her craft. I do see that she's also integrating a lot of other ideologies into it that seem to be getting banqueted as witchcraft. Not that that is a bad thing, but it can make things confusing for a beginner. I might be wrong...is just what I took away from it all. In all honesty, I like your approach and style of informing, teaching and sharing knowledge on the subject.

[@julievanarends3702]

I love that she included her very raw reaction to this initiation. Wonderful!

[@lbrent82]

Hello Hearth🖤 I love Skye’s channel and I’m glad it caused me to stumble across yours. As someone with a strong academic and clinical background in mental health who is just recently diving into my spiritual magical side, I have to say I REALLY appreciate the way you approached this video. You paused and clarified somethings that I thought were so spot on and you did it in such a supportive, non judgmental way. Thank you for this video. 🖤

[@Kiara-ld6mi]

I remember the first time I ever heard Tibetan singing bowls, a lady was playing them to raise the listeners vibrations, and I felt a weird swirling, warm feeling in my abdomen, almost a healing sensation, and after the video stopped I cried hysterically.

[@katiemarston6072]

Watching this shook something in me, I cried a lot. I’m having counselling for anxiety atm and realising I need to use my magick in conjunction with that to heal myself.

[@thecosywitch]

Yes I was hoping this would be a hearth reacts!

[@purplepebble3479]

“I was sleepwalking through my life” ABSOLUTELY.

[@sarahkynast5648]

Love how you’re not judgmental of Mia and you reviewed her video pretty objectively and were very positive. ✨

[@cindys6775]

I'm a 46 year old witch, that learned from my grandmother at a very early age, I've never had a "witches hat".

[@Naranylla]

That's interesting, I tried doing some research on it a while back but only found an obscure reference to medieval witchcraft. Although I guess what really matters is what the symbol means to the person.

[@RobinKay75]

I'm 45 and I've never had one either.

[@MaryStrause]

I've been able to work with Mia personally, and she gets into the symbology of the witch's hat, and how the pointedness of the hat works as a kind of "channel" from your crown chakra to reach the divine/higher powers of the universe and your highest self. It's made me wear my hat with more purpose.

[@AlexAlex-zm9jy]

@I O For what? Especially since it adds nothing to your practice, is completely pointless and makes you look like a poser. It is as if Miss America wore the crown every day to prove something.

[@kiram.3619]

@@AlexAlex-zm9jy Please don't be so rude. Symbols aren't universal. If it doesn't mean anything to you, that's fine. If the same symbol means something to someone else, that's fine too. Besides, while I understand your perspective of thinking it makes her look like a poser, there is also the idea of reclaiming stereotypical symbols for the witches themselves instead of their portrayal in movies or Halloween or stuff. If for example Christians would be suppressed for 200 years and their cross symbol would only appear in their stereotypical depictions; Then Christians began to emerge again. Would they be posers for wearing the cross? Especially if their parents didn't wear it (due to stigmatisations), would that change anything? And should it change anything?

[@Zullala]

I really want to manifest an apartment or house for rent that's only $600 a month with no roommates 😭! I'll wear 10 pointy hates if it'll help increase my focus!

[@abigailcross624]

I had already seen this video so it was 'interesting' (see what I did there?) to hear you views on it. While I've always been attracted to spirituality, witchcraft, meditation and all other things outside of 'normal' life as seen by society trained adults I had lost it for a long time and only recently found myself again. I am now, at the age of 42 entering the world of witchcraft instead of just being interested (which I know I would have a long time ago had I have not been caged by the people in my life). I believe in law of attraction as the meeting point of traditional science and magical practice, that makes sense to me, so I guess that is where I am starting my journey but I am open to all that follows. I just wanted to say that since finding you, your channel is now my starting point when I want to learn about something then take it from there so thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your content, it is appreciated more than I can say 🖖💙

[@judycarpenter8547]

You are one of my heroines. At the age of 76 I need it boiled down to the basics.

[@talkingcrow]

Hearth. I’m a big fan of yours, and I really enjoy Sky Life’s investment in curiosity. Thank you for all that you do. ❤

[@rigelb9025]

I had a slight bicycle mishap yesterday, so your ''Stay safe you guys'' blessing at the end really hit home with me this morning. :)

[@Starry_Tones]

Hi I'm early so I wanna tell you how much I love your videos. It feels so nice to be part of such a kind and interesting community 😌

[@jessicalarsen7094]

I did my own tarot card reading and manifested about paying off debts . In my tarot card it told me I will embrace my own new path in life , with work. Then the next day it lead me to a path I didn’t think I would ever pursue. Making my own jewelry. Led me down a rabbit hole and now I’m learning to make my own and sell them . It’s truly amazing !! Blessed be ♥️♥️

[@truthinlifetarot]

I cried twice during this. Thanks for sharing it!

[@inchw0rm]

the trance stuff i thought was awesome, there have been times where i thought it looked crazy too and even now theres a part of me that thinks its odd just bc im so not used to seeing it, but i think its beautiful! it really is similar to the type of release you can have from sex and i think its great that we are able to reach that feeling in other ways if we want to, even just watching them do it and how she cried after felt like a release for me! ive tried something like that about 5 years ago with some witches i knew back then and maybe ill try it again when i have a safe space to do it in:)

[@nerdmaid1240]

This is a great video and a great reaction. I remember having an extreme emotional response when I had crystal therapy for the first time. Someone I knew wanted to practise before she offered it to strangers and it shocked both of us how I reacted immediately afterwards.

[@aquamarinedream4505]

I watched this video a few days ago. I love seeing other people’s practices!

[@mesawoods7026]

I want to know if anyone here ever saw the fay as a child? I want to say I did, but I don't remember it. I just remember waking up one day and knowing there was a fairy 🧚‍♀️ that lived in my backyard. (I live in the country so my "backyard" is 3 acres) I started building homes for him to live in.

[@rosemariemastro-watanabe2000]

Whatever Makes Her Happy, That's how I look at it!

[@Koinoexiste]

omg I am so early I didnt even notice :D I love you very very much hearth 💖

[@stephenelic6508]

I really respect that manifesting witch. The way she practices is very different to me, and I’m sure to many people... but When you sit and listen to someone’s story, to someone’s narrative, it is a beautiful thing. I really connected to that narrative she was describing. She is a sweet soul. May the Goddess bring her joy and love in her Craft 🌹🌞🌒🌈

[@momzillainnova]

I just found your channel and I believe this is the second or third video Ive watched. THis was a really great example of what a first "real" experience with manifestation can look like. I became very ill with Covid 19 in late March of 2020. It was an extremely traumatic time for me, I was hospitilized three times and was eventually diagnosed with long haul syndrome with neurological side effects as a result of Covid 19. I spend almost the entire year from March 2020 to March 2021 alone with the exception of my husband and daughter (who are SAINTS BTW!) and it lead me to begin some serious shadow work. Man, I wasnt ready for the emotional roller coaster that ensued. I turned 50 and "thought" these were things that I had resolved through therapy and years of it at that. I really encourage anyone who had a traumatic childhood to look into shadow work even if they are not interested in witch craft. We are all worthy of healing our inner child....

[@sarahs5340]

She’s a New Age, prosperity witch, but beware: Life is a dance and there is give and take with natural cycles. Beware, you are not the reason for your victimization and should not ever, ever take responsibility for the abusive behaviors of other people or systems that promote abusive practices.

[@lacuna_matata_9261]

I cried when I watched the original video it was so raw and emotional at a few points I could literally feel it love both of these videos 💚💚

[@Dance_poetry_nature]

Hearth, I know this has NOTHING to do with what you are talking about, but I just have to say that I think you are just so beautiful. I think your energy is very comforting. Thank you for doing this video. I love learning about witchcraft and magick. I feel it deep within my ancestry, and I have learned my great grandmother on my mom's side, practiced her whole life. My mom has practiced since she was very young before even knowing what she was doing, until later on in life. I feel very blessed I was born through such a wonderful and magical woman. She has taught me some bits of what she practices. I vibe very much with it. I just really enjoy learning what else is out there.... So sorry for the word vomit. I'm passionate about this. 💜

[@lukasmorrow8255]

Although I have varied opinions on the video, as an asexual person I actually *really* appreciate the way sex magic was talked about/used here! It was very different from what I would initially think of and a process of breath-release that would be much more comfortable for people who may be interested in this type of magic, but not physical acts.

[@atomicgirltv9313]

Hi Hearth! It's so nice to see your face today! Wanted to tell you, that because of your so well informed and well spoken content I have found a new perspective and direction in my own life. Thank you for that. You're amazing!!🌟I hope you are having a fabulos day.

[@shadowscalestudios]

I'm literally crying right now. Such a powerful story. I fully understand the feeling of despair and hitting your lowest point. When I finally started believing myself and in what I knew to be real I started working with Chaos Magick and things really started to change. Wonderful video, really needed to experience this.

[@sarahphobia]

I like how Sky Life has done multiple videos on this subject. Some of her sources are a bit iffy but it provides different perspectives which is valuable for her as she learns more and other people who watch her videos

[@JazzyJ96771]

I’ve seen the full video, I watched it a month or two ago, I just cannot watch the sex magick part as I find it cringe worthy even though I shouldn’t 😬, Idk what it is, but their sex magick just made me really uncomfortable 😣 I know sexuality is natural (in all its forms) but yeah

[@TICKLEMEEMO29]

SAMMEEEE I understood it a lot more after Hearth's video but definitely something I've never seen

[@raediance5523]

Same, Im on the ace spectrum and somewhere between sex repulsed and sex neutral. I just can't relate to it.

[@tpro1802]

I find that candle magic for money brings the fastest type of manifestation for me too. Maybe it's because the intent is always very clear. I dunno, but it's cool that that is your experience with it also

[@FFVison]

I have kind of avoided Instagram witches for the most part. I have looked around on KZbin and there were a few that I gather seem to only try to be witches because they like "that witch style" and seem a bit superficial. I remember looking at some of the suggested videos and some of them just didn't seem like I could learn much from them. BTW, Hearth, don't change your style. I love that you are who you are and seem to share my same taste in music (dig the Iron Maiden t-shirt).

[@aurabluestar6726]

I love your reaction videos. I'm not sure why but I tend to learn new things a lot easier from from this type of format. 😅😘

[@sweetspirit444]

This vid kept popping up in my recommended and not going to lie, I was nervous. I love Sky's channel and I had seen this vid before. I liked how.. strange?.. Mia is. I like that she's able to so shamelessly live her truth and her practice, even if not all of it is something I resonate with. I was so afraid that you were going to laugh or make fun of them so I put off watching this video forever. I am SO GLAD that you were polite and supportive and informative throughout the whole thing. I think your video was well made and your comments well put. I like you. New subscriber!

[@skarinblackraven9212]

Seeing the girl cry was very interesting. To it shows that she was really into what they were doing and she was genuinely giving it her all. It's nice to see what I think is an outsider truly want to know more and have a genuine interest.

[@1412mariLU]

Yeees 😃 I saw this video and immediately thought "I hope, Hearth is gonna do a reaction to that" because I wanted her to set some things straight that were said/done in the video.

[@Petalandfawn]

I’ve followed her for a while she’s has such a beautiful energy but yes she’s mentioned before that she wears her witches hat everyday bc it makes her feel good and proud and she wants people to know she’s a witch although yes we don’t wear those hats and it’s mostly in Halloween cartoons and such. But she wears it by choice not to mock witches. She’s talked about it in a podcast with Sahara Rose

[@BeverleyButterfly]

I absolutely love you reacting because I get to see how others work, but also you explain things so much that help me grow but at the same time things that you wouldn’t necessarily make a dedicated video for xx

[@cindycapozio]

I saw this video yesterday and was trying to tag you in it. Very interesting!

[@georgiasadowski3501]

I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD REACT TO THIS

[@moistsquish]

I really, relate to her style of witchcraft, its always how I approached it, in quite a logical, not so woo woo kinda way if you catch my drift . And extending witchcraft not just in spells but in your whole life .

[@hfortenberry]

Oooh okay! I was WONDERING about putting essential oils on their tongue like that! I was worried for their safety for a minute there. Thank you for clarifying what they ingested.

[@maggieomalley7861]

I'm really happy you explained the flower essence bc I was very curious about it!

[@stevenmcdowell530]

I was skeptical coming into the video but after watching it was interesting to say the least. Their is always something to learn everyday
