Dark Academia Witch Crafts || a cozy autumn night 🍂🌙🕯

This is not meant to be an informational video about witchcraft at all! It’s just a fun couple of nights I spent making crafts that are cute and look a little witchy. It doesn’t represent my practice in any way really. I just wanted to make some decor for the season and relax 🫖
A documentation of two autumn nights that I spent making dark academia and witchy crafts. I thought I would share it with you in the hope that it will give off the immaculate fall vibes you deserve!
If you have any suggestions for more autumn videos you think I should make, let me know in the comments!
I'm Veda (pronounced Vey-duh), a witch, artist, and writer... sometimes. ✨

The phrenology box in the background is a decoration I bought from Michael's this year simply because I thought it looked cool. It is incredibly upsetting to find out that phrenology has been used SOO problematically in history. It is something I was uneducated about, and even when I tried to research why it was problematic, I struggled to find useful information. I shouldn't have bought it since I knew nothing about the topic besides the fact that it's a pseudoscience and it's mostly used as decor nowadays. I'm beyond upset with myself for purchasing it and putting it in the background. I was debating deleting this video because I can't stand to think of this mistake, but I'm not sure if that's the best solution. I just want to apologize for displaying it and seeming like I support something like that. I don't, and I wish I could undo it. But I am grateful to the few people who informed me about its history in the comments. I'm really sorry.

What is wrong with it? I looked it up and didn't find anything wrong. Could you or someone else here educate me, please?

[@Daniel-oj4zx]

Whats wrong with it ..?

[@absv444]

@@MarieGarrett. Phrenology was used to justify slavery. The pseudoscience was created as a means to predict the traits of people based on the shape and bumps of the brain. Certain traits of the brain would mean that the individual lacked intelligence and had extremely violent tendencies. Racists would say that African brains were shaped differently, thus backing up the justification of slavery. They used phrenology to label slaves as too mentally incompetent to have their own freedom and that they were violent people who would harm if set free. Veda is correct: there are almost no resources online describing the disgusting mentality behind phrenology. I learned about the horrors behind it in a college history course. Thank you for addressing this, Veda. I understand why you wouldn't know the intent behind phrenology because there is no information at easy access, but I can't believe they would sell that in stores!

[@MarieGarrett.]

@@absv444 my gosh, I had no idea! Thank you for informing me so efficiently.

[@Lady-Jane1]

So, I’ve now learned about phrenology and eugenics, I had not heard of them before. Thank you for being the bringer of that knowledge. We all lack the knowledge until it is brought to our attention; I’m glad that you have left the video up, it allows the lessons to be shared. Blessings to you.

[@Sailorsweetpeach]

I loved the way the ritual oil came out and want to say If you’re not a witch, you can always tweak the ritual oil recipe to be used as a pretty body oil.

[@olivia_vermast]

Yes😌😌💛

[@angelinawebb7320]

That's such a good idea! I'm going to do that, I have a bottle that I can use.

[@ceilingbees2427]

@ariola granola you think to yourself “do I want to be a witch” or “do I feel called to witchcraft” and if yes you do some googling and studying! Even if your answer is no it’s always good to look into it more, maybe you’re called by something you’ve not heard of yet! There’s lots of wonderful witches online but for a beginner I would highly recommend “The witch of wonderlust” here on KZbin for a start!

[@MsLyriah]

I thought you were going to stain the books for a moment and my heart dropped haha. I love your ideas, though. Very creative!

[@lavo8535]

literally same ahaha, I sat there saying out loud.. "oh no, what are you doing?!"

[@sammybearco]

Same!

[@-lovecassy_333]

I love to tea dye and coffee stain old book pages and use them as pages for my personal junk journals I make for myself. I just find it more sentimental having a book I love inside a journal I handmade myself and will be documenting my life.

[@Thanatoastt]

Dark academia, Virginia Woolf, and Witchcraft 🍂 This video is just *chef's kiss*

[@dindranew.6808]

And a reference to Vita Sackville-West!

[@PucKitt]

I’d suggest for in the little envelope that you write hopes for the future, things you desire to happen, goals, etc. It gives that element of fun when you get to open them after you’ve forgotten. Maybe even add a picture or something small and a “don’t open til” label to.

[@angelinawebb7320]

This is a very good idea, I've written letters to my future self before. I'm going to do this today.

[@ina5779]

I don't understand how you don't have loads of subscribers. Your content is always so beautiful and entertaining. Keep up the good work :)

[@vedacorvus]

That’s so sweet! Thank you 🖤✨

[@CadeD679]

I just subscribed!

[@zariahwilliams2910]

In today’s time people don’t look at every aspect of things. They’d rather watch couples, mukbangs, or things of that such

[@lydiasbookshopcafe3473]

I second this!

[@EmelieWaldken]

I'm usually not fond of videos of "easy witchy DIY" because they all seem the same and end up looking cheap, but yours were really nice. It's probably the fact that you used real "ingredients" and not papier mâché. Liked the little pentagram wreath, simple and pretty !

[@zelena3572]

Palmistry Tip: Take a dry washcloth and make it into a little mound. Since our hands are concave, flat prints don't work well, as you discovered. Set your paper over the washcloth and then make your print. The washcloth will push the paper up into the center of your hand. A rolled up sock might also work.

[@CadeD679]

I've been dark academic my entire life (42 years.) I just never knew it had a name! These videos are pure comfort!

[@chemicalleak5131]

i love the bg music its either got being chased in a haunted house vibes or graveyard in spring vibes or addams vibes and its just way more calming and interesting than like 90% of youtube video bg music

[@lxrxinbow5413]

When you were finishing the oil I thought you were going to push the flowers down with the incense AND YOU DID!

[@christinaerica3073]

Will you ever make a video about witchcraft? Or incorporate it into your vlogs more? I've been loving your content so much lately 🧡✨🧡✨

[@nommfourteen9312]

I just discovered your channel and I've never been more obsessed with someone's aesthetic! Wow.

[@dreamambience4553]

Honestly, your content makes me so happy. It's like a moment of peace in all my days

[@annemichelle6842]

I'm automatically reminded of RG Veda and spends the rest of the day watching vintage Manga. I appreciate the head cannon ... plus the crafts are super pretty x

[@pamcurrie7828]

Your cats are so cute and I absolutely love the idea with the candle and wine bottle. I am off to get some wine so that I can do it too.

[@KestralSabre]

Your handwriting is absolutely gorgeous, and all these ideas are so great!

[@Makberries]

Though I’m not necessarily into Dark Academia I thought watching little crafts and DIYs would be interesting and satisfying and omg it was!! Good content! Quality is amazing and you really showed details of each step which is helpful if I were to actually follow along!

[@hiraethhope2272]

I love how you added music from Cody High, they’re one of my favourites! Plus, I think I’ll save this video so I can try sometime. 😌✨

[@amanda5338]

im just binge watching your vidoes because your vibe is so calm, i love it

[@KBurns7]

I have been so into you and your videos since I found you. This one was relaxing and fun to watch and gave me a creativity boost.

[@lilirishgrl]

Very relaxing to watch you craft. Looking forward to seeing more of what you create. Thanks!

[@jpan7071]

Enjoyed watching this-that palmistry hand turned out beautiful.

[@koreighlee]

Love this video! I also have been really loving your music recs from your last video, they've been setting the mood really nicely in my home :)

[@gerdasalengaite3148]

This is so beautiful! Can’t wait for Halloween 🧡🖤🧡

[@vedacorvus]

Me too! I’m trying to savor every moment of fall 🍂

[@LorenaHill]

I just did the envelope craft and it turned out so cool! I love the vibe of your videos! 🤍

[@DeeVination]

The palmistry painting came out amazing.

[@hasti5915]

This the first time and first video I came across this is the vibes I love I am now gonna binge watch

[@dianaeatscheetos]

When you first started with your hand on the paper it reminded me of The Dark Brotherhood from The Elder Scrolls game. I was expecting to see you write "We know" lol All of these crafts are very beautiful!

[@melody_BP]

That's a great decoration idea for TES fans

[@angelinawebb7320]

Thank you this is exactly what I wanted to see!. I'm sad, because autumn is almost over here.. Today is the 29th of May.. I've done barely any autumn things that I wanted to do like play in the leaves in a town I like, but it's ok.. I still went to that town twice with my mum and I saw the falling leaves and my mum gave me a nice leaf which I will either keep in a box or put into my journal, I don't want to put it into my journal because then I can't bring it if I travel, but I won't be travelling to any other country anytime soon.. I also didn't make an autumn scrapbook like I wanted to, but I can still make some pages of the memories in my journal. Veda is such a nice name!. The crafts you did were so good! And the tiny envelope was very helpful because I need one for a tiny card I have and of course I can make my own! I don't know why I didn't think of that.. and I have been curious to know if I could use candle wax instead of wax melts to make a wax seal (which I think is what people do, I think I've seen it, but anyway..) And now I know that I can. You are very pretty and I love the whole aesthetic!. Dark academia is my new favourite aesthetic.

[@staticforest1197]

I’ve been looking for a channel like this for so long! I love all the crafts

[@marnik89]

Realy love your feed! I love this vibe of witchcraft and dark academia combined.. and just to give you one more idea, as I make my own colored papers as well..instead of tea, you can use a mixture of water and coffee...it gives the paper a bit darker look than tea and smells great too... 🍂

[@hemmelgarndesigns]

Just found this and I’m definitely saving for future use! The ritual oil, letters, and wreaths were my favorites☺️ I have ideas to make 4 wreaths, one for each solstice, and hang them on my front door throughout the year. And for the letters I’m going to put in old live notes from my partner that I can reopen years from now❤️

[@Avalonsarrt]

I love your Palmistry hand so much. Im going to make one today. Cool video.

[@ellieamoe]

Ive been binging your videos like crazy. Theyre so good!! Also, still loving the hair

[@miam7263]

Okay the hand craft is absolutely amazing even though it didn’t come out as you imagined. You’re so talented!!!

[@cardioklepto]

Randomly found your channel and I am absolutely hooked! Beautiful videos.

[@evelyn36fudyh]

such a beautiful video! thank you for all of the dark academia content. you really inspire my videos! I've been trying to incorporate dark/light academia vibes and I'm so happy the cult has spread to youtube

[@jzoz418]

thank u! u inspired me to make some more dark academia themed deco for my room! it looks amazing :)

[@kathleenroberts7972]

Loved this! Love your kitty's! The palmistry hand so cool and I definitely will be making the wreaths. Learned something I didn't know as well.wouldnt have noticed I'd you didn't point it out. You can decoupage over the Michael's thing. No harm.

[@rikki2358]

I just have to say that this video is the reason why I stared practicing witchcraft and I am so grateful for it. Thank you🙏🏼

[@vedacorvus]

Amazing! Happy witching 🖤🔮

[@WatchJolene]

This is amazing. I subscribed after only a few minutes! That palmistry painting is amazing I love it and going to give it a try pretty soon!

[@thrice.center9658]

Love the pentagram wreath! So cute! (I can think of a few people who would definitely put this up for Christmas that might need an early present)

[@mocknroll1023]

LOVE this !! your videos are gorgeous and i love the mood you set and all the details you include

[@isihosena635]

The painted hand is so so beautiful and also the letters, wow :D Please make a video on how you learned to write the way you did on these letters!!!!!!

[@youraveragemusicperson2176]

This video was just on my recommended and so I checked out your channel and I love it! Subbed

[@DidiAphra]

This is so so cool! I'm so glad I found your channel because I love it. I'm curious to know what you do besides your channel that you can afford all these beautiful things! I'm a baby witch so I'm inspired by all these crafts you made and I'm looking forward to more witchy videos

[@BeverleyButterfly]

So much inspo!! 🖤I definitely need to try out the oil jar, I've only ever received them as gifts

[@vedacorvus]

Definitely! They are so fun to make and personalize 🥀✨

[@CoryNDavis]

You mentioned Virginia Woolf! Subscribed! Seriously though, I enjoyed this! I do lots of tea staining myself too. So useful to get that older look! Though I haven't strained in awhile. It's rainy time where I live so mold is out of control and I can't risk it until the sun comes back out xD

[@NotSObored188]

The cat at the end was everything 💓💓

[@ViridisArborem]

I'll be honest, the palmistry font gives me more St Trinian's vibes than Harry Potter vibes (Maybe I've just been watching too much St Trinian's recently) Loving all of the autumn themed content and so awesome to see some magickal crafts too!!!!

[@ghostmemeboi]

no one wants harry potter vibes

[@lucindanukari]

@@ghostmemeboi no💚

[@rolandaustria7926]

Maybe a cool font would be something like the Art Nouveau types.

I don’t think that font looked Harry Potterish, at all - so I agree with you, there!

[@elizabethbread4021]

@@ghostmemeboi why :(

[@YuliaAstrea]

The little letters are so cute, I’ve been trying to get into wax seals but its intimidating!

[@Alibaba0301]

I feel the same way!

[@archiemaee2titoy368]

Theyre really satisfying trust me i felt the same way but then my aunt gave me a set of it so i tried it and its really cool.

[@angelinawebb7320]

I just can't find one I want, my mum found a heart shaped one, but I didn't want that. I'd prefer a flower one or a leaf or both!. I haven't looked online though and there would definitely be some selling. I don't know, I might make my own somehow. Have you tired it yet? I've never tried using wax seals, but I really want to.
