A Witchcraft Charm

[@MissFreyja]

This very much reminds me of my dad, not necessarily the creation of a charm, he may have done that but it was never shared with the rest of the family. The bringing back of such prizes as a rams horn, or a birds skull or a beautiful shell or a sea whittled branch. There is so much beauty in this world, even if we see it only after death or destruction, something has been left behind to say 'I was here" and has as much value in death as the being did in life. Thank you for sharing parts of yourself and thank you to the cat for sharing a part of itself also! I hope winter is mending what was broken and that you are indulging in rest and warmth and good food and company Arith, and of course I expend that to all who read this comment too.

I do stuff like this all the time. And I give them as gifts. My uncle calls them talismans. I just make everything I do up as I go along. It produces pieces that are, to me, very powerful and meaningful. You are a really really awesome person

[@annikee5925]

Don't let the bastards get you down. Happy Yule and blessings for the new year. 🎄

[@ArithHärger]

Same, my friend. Many blessings and happy celebrations! Be well! :D

[@poolguyunfiltered2850]

Thank you so much for sharing more of yourself with us, Arith. I understand what you mean about understanding malicious acts in order to combat them. A swords man must know how he will be attacked in order to understand the parry. We have to understand the nature of malicious energies in order to craft things that will mitigate their effects. Your trap is very beautiful, and I love the thought and care that is put into it. I think so many get so caught up in ritual that they miss the intent that is put into craft: Asking permission, limiting what you take and when, using the time in between to imbue purpose into what you are creating. Thank you so much for this small lesson:)

Over the recent years, it seems SO many (now commercialized 'modern fads' ) supplies I've looked in to, time & time again I discover various issues with sourcing & global supply chains. Everything from Palo Santo to Frankencense, Sage, mining of many crystals and gems, etc, etc. In the past, I've worked for several busy metaphysical retail shops FULL of these items for retail sale. To 'practice' anything, I just don't believe we need exotic, endangered, nefariously sourced 'magical' supplies but can do just fine with available, local &/or indigenous items available. I fell in love with the aroma of crushed leaves from indigenous plants growing on my property. I'm learning how to preserve &/or extract fragrance from them. After a storm, I gathered clumps of fresh, green pine needles that had blown off the trees and spent hours braiding and weaving them. I've saved stones found on my property or on walks. We really do not need to support the unsavory effects and profiteering of many 'exotic' supplies which have now become 'fads'. Things that made sense in the old ways, but don't translate to true Earth Stewardship and respect of nature on a now global, large demand scale.

[@Sheepdog1314]

it's true, the way they mine crystals in horrifying. Huge holes are blown into the mother to retrieve some material that is squandered. The earth no longer makes this. Seeing asian countries making the gemstone material into crap like smiley faces hurts. Same with precious metals.

[@SandySez]

@@Sheepdog1314 yes, and there's a lot of horrid & tyrannical business practices behind the sourcing and trade of Sandalwood, Frankincense, Palo Santo, etc.

[@Sheepdog1314]

I have been making charms since I was very young. I give them away, and sometimes I won't explain what they are, or what they are for, because people get freaked out. Years ago friends and co-workers went to war overseas, I gave each a beaded bear claw (I can legally have them, and gift them in some states in the US) - and they all came back unharmed and with stories to tell. Same with animal teeth, gem stones and plant material, like Rue and Rowan. I often disguise the magic by carving an object out of the sacred material, like a spoon or bowl. All positive energy - my germanic ancestors approve

[@ThePlantArk]

I have indoor /outdoor cats and I kept hearing the meow I was running around calling my cats but it was yours hahah I just had the best laugh today you got me kitty

[@ArithHärger]

Hehehe :P while I was editing the video, and also when I was writing the subtitles, I also kept hearing the meow-meows from the video and I was tricked multiple times. This time it was Sól, she wanted attention. She doesn't like closed doors lol. Best wishes! Thank you for watching! :D

[@jackietripp1716]

the internet gives toxic people the opportunity to attack anyone! You do great work and lots of people appreciate you! Also Im a fellow Leo too, perhaps we are just subject to bully's~ I try to ignore them. :)

[@arizonaraven419]

Love it “The Shit I do” 😂

[@VulneraSanenturNew92]

Needs to be Arith's merch😂🤘

[@josakeller1104]

Ok it’s def time to put the snail shell chime together..🤣🙌thx for the creation motivation I LOVE the way you layered those shells🫶

[@cyberbeeny]

I luv hearing your witchcraft journey

[@antsquirly7654]

Solstice Blessings, Arith.

[@ArithHärger]

Thank you my friend, and to you too and yours.

[@ernamoller175]

So sad that certain people are so quick to judge and to jump to conclusions. Thank you for sharing a part of yourself. Be well my friend. Greetings from South Africa...as always.

[@jonathan-wh4pg]

Your videos are awesome Arith forget the goofy haters . All of them jealous

[@Lusjifer]

Thanks for sharing :) I love the aesthetic of it. I always prefer when things are able to blend in and aren't too easy to notice.

[@ArithHärger]

Very true. I like it when things are simpler, more subtle and also serve as decoration :p

[@AmaraBee]

I’m pausing 4 minutes into your video (having not yet watched the rest) because I’m compelled to say- first and foremost, I’ve been watching your content for years and I truly enjoy and appreciate your insight. I have typed and deleted many sentences in this comment because I have much to say, however know the comment box is not the place for a thesis on human behavior. (Seems I’m a wordy btch 😂) Please know, that throughout all of the chaos and vitriol, there are ones that listen and learn, and look forward to your offerings. Keep doing, because you’re doing great, my friend. Now….onto the rest of the vid! 🌸

[@arizonaraven419]

There is so much more to Arith! Love to hear more. You’re a sweet young man 😊

[@ThePlantArk]

I collect snail shells too the charm you made is nice .the shells work well with bells too

[@ArithHärger]

Yes, like bells as well! I forgot to say I keep this one on the door handle, from the inside.

[@ThePlantArk]

@ArithHärger I would make them for the four corners of my porch as well it's a enclosed one so it would still be within and give me that added protection from the outside world in the four directions

[@arizonaraven419]

Absolutely love your feather collection. Gave me ideas 💡

[@MysticLia2469]

I enjoy your content, and it helps me with my own path.

[@morriganwitch]

I can relate to what you’re doing

[@2dazla8]

Arith, my dear friend, this video educates people about who you really are. If any of the naysayers have questions about your person, they only need to watch this. You are such a giving, caring and compassionate soul. I am honored to call you friend. Thank you for this video and sharing your charm with us 🖤 Much love to you and yours, and Blessed Yule.

[@Damon-z8e]

Good stuff for sure, thank you for this 😁

[@stefka9156]

Thanks Arith 😊

[@ArithHärger]

My pleasure. Thank you for watching!

[@RenVasTerul]

I appreciate you explaining animism so truthfully and talking people through how it connects veganism etc. Thank you ❤ Whenever someone asks me again what I believe in I can now link this video :D

[@ArithHärger]

Glad I could be of some help. Thank you for listening ad watching. Be well friend, and many blessings!

[@elizabethmurray5037]

Bravo! I still wish I was twenty years younger 😅

[@keenanarthur8381]

In my understanding of Mongolian and Siberian shamanism, white shamans work with the celestial realm in the branches of the world tree, and black shamans work with the infernal realm in the roots. White shamans do a lot of purification for magical power, and focus on healing and divination. Black shamans break taboos for power, and are warrior shamans who focus on offensive/defensive magic in wartime and politics and diplomacy in peacetime. If a particular curse is part of a shaman’s tribal duty (e.g. protecting the tribe from invaders by cursing the enemy) there’s less harmful blowback than when people throw curses around purely out of spite. In terms of defense, as soon as a particular ward is publicly known about it’s easier to bypass or alchemically alter the function of the ward - unless you ward your wards.

Hello from St.Louis, Missouri.

[@ArithHärger]

Hello friend!

[@quebruxariaeessa5403]

I love your content ❤

[@ArithHärger]

Thank you! Muito obrigado ☺️

[@coranova]

"My Leo part" 😂 I feel that, on a Leo cusp

[@DraugrVirduligr]

Aye, I have found that working with the Vaettir takes deep respect, which veganism tends to lend itself towards. And when we talk of Gandar, I've had a lot of luck with using a black sand trap too

[@agent3557]

I’d say don’t worry what others think. It’s sort of a risk you took becoming a public figure, people will be curious and also make other own stories. It comes with the territory you’re in. You aren’t doing anything wrong and you don’t owe anyone information you don’t want to share. Just shrug off the negativity and things that bother you. ❤

[@stewartthomas2642]

Love your stuff kick on love it ❤❤❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤍💯💥

[@awolpeace1781]

As long as you don't kill squirrels for rituals like Scottish people do I'd say your not too bad

[@ArithHärger]

This is the first time I hear of such a thing. Tell me more about it please. What's up with Scotts vs squirrels?

[@awolpeace1781]

@ArithHärger Oh, just some occultist creeps of Scottish heritage I had the misfortune of being placed in school with who had the notion of heretical practices were a form of being beyond us. Like all occultists, they thought they were more adult than the rest of us with their bullsh** nonsense; in the case I mentioned, it was animal cruelty.

[@wholeyghost7790]

[@jessicadumbrell5484]

If you caught something using this charm how would you deal with it? Genuine question, if maybe a silly one Love all your videos especially the more personal ones

[@ArithHärger]

Hello friend! Legitimate question, not silly at all. The easiest and safest thing to do is to bury it underground in a place you don't go often (or never return to) and make sure no one else does. Do not break it.

[@DachaMansur]

Palo Santo..."Hollywood" maybe...?🤔

[@BillieBoyd-ng2qv]

Brother, do you podcast 4 Yule ( heathen proper) or Winterblot/ solstice? Blessings.

[@TiwazGoudsnor]

Have you ever did CE5?? Salud, from a fellow shaman.

[@BillieBoyd-ng2qv]

Interesting! I think Ullr is god / patron of how u react (effect) 2 hardship. Centered r calm . Off course learn . Just my 2 cents. Your point bout suffering.

[@dianalunanuova]

I'm disappointed: you should have at least one "real" teeny-tiny skeleton in your collection! 😂 People are nosy and unable to mind their own business. Furthermore, coherence is not of this world and when they meet a coherent person, they do not recognize them, let alone understand them... I appreciate your patience, knowing how to wait two seasons to create a special item, it makes me think and rethink 😁 I always listen to you! What did you say? 😁😆😂 Thank you. 💚

[@Athelstan-f3j]

You aged quite a bit since the last video I saw of you, hope that you are doing alright

[@ArithHärger]

Last year (2023) was one of the worst years of my life (also 2018). It has been a very long 5 years of hardships and loads of mental and heart breaks. This year, however (2024) has been one of the best :D I hope you are doing well my friend.

[@sharonprince6364]

There r many unscrupulous people. ( unfortunately).

[@wren1019]

well, i think you are wonderful. thank you for this and thank you for all of the videos you share with all of us 🩵
