How to start practicing Witchcraft

[@jaylink1234]

Been doing witchcraft for years I am glad you said many people only want the idea of being a witch. It's a craft that has to be studied and learned and performed.

[@lazr9672]

Have you ever thought about who’s really behind that stuff?

[@The11Jade]

Have you?

[@floristfindspeace]

@@lazr9672 yourself. i would say witchcraft is equal parts placebo effect, and the unknown. i believe we have the ability to tap into our potential, and with intention and action, we can create whatever outcome we wish to see.

[@delightfvul]

Dyk any spells that actually work?

[@vanille6607]

Hi everyone, I started getting interested in witchcraft a few months ago. I studied it, read a lot about it, but never took the time to practice. I was never feeling motivated enough, always felt tired, exhausted before starting it. I finally gathered some salt, put it in jars and placed them in my apartment. I then lit up some incense and wandered around, filling the flat up with a thick, scented smoke, then sat down and thought about ptotecting my house, and getting strengh to finally practice. I felt better in an instant. It felt as if I just woke up from a wonderful nap, I feel amazing. I'm just sitting here on the floor in my smokey living room, typing this because I felt the need to share it. Sending lots of love to my witch sisters, brothers and person 🌙

[@ErikHeimdallr]

My wife and I are Green Witches, but are also very eclectic. As a Male Witch I'm hoping you can address the role of Male Witches and how rewarding it can be for both husband and wife to practice the Craft. It took we Male Witches many years to get even people practicing the Old Ways to stop calling us "Warlocks." I look forward to learning from you and exchanging ideas. Blessed Be.

Hi Everyone, I finally decided that I was a witch a few months ago. Since admitting that and finally accepting the fact that I am pagan (I was raised strict southern Baptist convention) I have been much happier. I just started my Book of Shadows a few months ago. I made my own little travel altar and made my own wand from a fallen branch the tree I always park by gave me. I still have a lot to learn, which is why I am so grateful for Ella and this community.

[@0fficialselena__90]

I'm so happy for you! I wish you the absolute best on your journey! As a little kid, I didn't realize that most of the things I do were already Witchcraft plus Ive realized how happy I truly was back then besides my toxic Christian family and all the childhood and religious trauma I have. I would make my own potions setting intentions, connecting with plants and animals, loving herbs, being more spiritual, connecting with the moon, collecting sea shells, making things out of sticks rocks, acorns, doing my daily rituals along with so much more! I'd love to reconnect with myself again so I've been getting books on stuff I'm interested which I'm more of dark magic, green witchcraft, sea witchcraft and lunar witchcraft so I'm starting my book of shadows to take notes taking it one step at a time.

[@bartelskids]

@@0fficialselena__90 Thank you! I wish you the best on your journey.

[@jkey3835]

Do you think a book called the “Book of shadows” is going to make you happy? You should really consider therapy.

[@stephthornhill4350]

I’m so happy you’ve found witchcraft so fulfilling! I also was raised souther Baptist convention and it wasn’t until recently that I learned I could be a Christian witch. I’ve felt so at peace with my newfound faith lifestyle.

[@kriswallace4454]

Thank you! I am just making my decision now. Just talked with my husband about it again..but with deliberate intent. Your words meant so much to me!

[@ama6021]

When i was 11 I remember imagining (amost everyday before sleep) a bubble that grew from me, to my room and to my house, with the intend of protecting my and my house against "bad things and people", or also imagining a bubble around me to not being called in class like "with this the teachers dont see me, and they wont call me" theu actually did not and now i am realizing this was a little bit of witchcraft, and i did not even realize it

[@evara_920]

can uhhh explain it more deeply ? plz

[@ama6021]

@evara_920 there isn't actually more, I just imagined these bubbles around me and say somethings like "the teachers won't see me/ won't call me" ecc. Idk if it matter, but It was usually a pink/purple bubble

[@willneverletgo2408]

I love how simple you explain everything. I'm very new to the craft. I can get overwhelmed so easily.

[@gammyeme]

I call myself a make do witch. Or a frugal witch. I started out setting up all the bells and whistles on my alter, but have pared down to a handful of crystals, a candle, my cards and inscense. It's all about what works for you. I use a day planner to write down my readings, and a giant notebook as a book of shadows . Each with it's own special pen (I just lije the way they write. They're not pretty). I use KZbin a lot, read recommended books or authors, Google a lot and learn daily.

[@atheistmando4976]

For me, I started looking into witchcraft to understand further phenomenon. While the material world which we all concieve is something i'm attach to. The immaterial are things far more phenomenal that I wish to understand. I have a psychologist that aids me in mental issues, and so far no symptoms tied to hallucinations are noted. But I do think that due to my constant depression, it has made me more vulnerable and less bitter in imagining the probability of something being out there.

[@Sillelittleepicfan]

I've been wanting to be a witch to reconnect with my ancestors (native American) my family is Christian they would be very against me being a witch so as a teenager who legally has to live with their parents seeing this kinda of stuff makes me very happy. Blessed be. (I saw this on another comment sorry if I'm not supposed to do this)

[@Alice-mv9pj]

I've been practicing on and off for more than 20 years... Coming back after a while, this is very helpful to reconnect❤ thank you.

[@PhoenixDaNerdette]

I am an Eclectic who I live in the city. There are some restriction that can prevent me from from being in nature. But my neighborhood isn't too safe. There is a park with a lagoon. But there are alot of wild geese, and we are told to be careful, due to crime. Also, our building doesn't have a backyard where one is allowed to plant gardens. I incorporate green/kitchen elements in my practice. I work with herbs that I purchase through metaphysical stores that I support. However, I am planning doing indoor garden, by planting some herbs that I connect with: Sage, Rosemary, Basil, and Flowers like Lavender and Chamomile.

[@cma.ksiezycowa]

Hi Ella! I've been watching you for a while and i'm soo happy you're making this series, can't wait for new videos! Btw i would love to see you talking about mental health and witchcraft in this series. Idk if that's something you feel you can cover, just a suggestion. I was thinking tips to make your practice accessible when you're struggling with mental illness (i could use some lol), how witchcraft can help in your life but also when it's time for professional help. I've been reading about witchraft for a 1,5 years and just recently did my first ritual. I guess i'm struggling with feeling i'm a fake, cuz i don't believe some things most witches do. I'm not drawn to spells, tarot or deities. For me it's more taking care of and doing things for my family and friends through hearth witchcraft, but not in a sense that "if i add this specific ingridient, this person will feel this specific way", it's more about the energy you give and just the act of caring. So idk if you can even call that witchcraft. Besides that i'm also interested in making natural remedies for mental and physical health issues, connecting more to nature and implementing parts of slavic folk culture and tradition into my life. I also feel some sort of connection to the moon. Sorry for this ling comment, i just needed to vent, don't expect you to answer

[@megandrew5662]

Thank you so so so much Ella! You're videos and your book have helped me so much.

[@jenesisescobar4264]

Hi Ella! It’s very nice to meet you 😊👋🏽. This video helped a lot thank you so much ❤

[@LynnLBE]

I have only begun to learn as do September 2023, so I’m very new.

[@Jann.x]

I just got back into witchcraft after a whole series of rabbits holes i practice green + kitchen witchcraft I’m falling back in love w my life just off the simple tasks im so glad i went thur everything I did because at the end of the day everything is connected w oneness❤️🙏🏾✨ and I absolutely love moving w intention vs just vibes and no type of conscious intent!

[@Uhbritt]

I am trying to learn this!! I want intention not just vibes

[@delightfvul]

Dyk any spells that actually work?

[@Jann.x]

@@Uhbritt I learn it’s not going to happen over night some days I slip back into just vibes but key to moving w intention for me is slowing down and actually having self compassion for myself and enjoying the little moments once you slow day moving w intention is automatic!!!

[@staceybaker4925]

Thankyou I have been reading researching witch craft for about 3 years but have been holding back on actually crafting a spell incase I do it wrong but maybe now I will just go for it what spells would you recommend for your first try ? Xxx

[@freyast2213]

Hi Ella, I saw your book in a store today. I was looking for a different one but then saw yours & considered getting it, I still might, does it come in paper back? I couldn’t find it in store & looked online & didn’t see it there either. Hard backs are just so big & usually cost more. Thx ☺️

[@robynsineadsheppard6480]

I am interested in Witchcraft or, as I prefer to call it, "Witch Crafts." I believe the latter term is more suited to my personality. "Witchcraft" seems to be more "woo-woo" and also has too much negativity attached to it. My interests are primarily in folk remedies, folk ways, and herbology. "Witch Crafts" seems a more practical description, as it relates to actual practices, rather than any semi-religious or philosophical beliefs.

[@swetachatterjee1891]

Please suggest some witchcraft books for Beginners. I want to learn it ❤❤❤❤

[@LynnLBE]

How do you begin to “work with” the spirits, elements, plants, etc. I hear the term but what does it actually consist of - how❓❓❓

[@vanessacuni2409]

I loved your video. Thank you

[@JustAnotherTravelingGirl]

Totally random, but I have 4 cats and regardless of where i put my altar, after returning from work they have always destroyed it. So my question… how to keep my kitties out of altar space?

[@Ann963]

Maybe have an altar box for the small items, and part of your ritual would be setting out and putting away the pieces. Or literally develop a travel altar, like the bare minimum you would want to take in a shoe box or something. I’ve even seen an altoid box altar for backpacking! 😂 You could also test different oils and spices to scent your altar with distasteful (to cats). Common repellents that work for most cats include cinnamon, cloves, pepper, and citrus.

[@Homesteader71]

I think you might have meant the connection to nature is critical rather than trivial 😊 I'm new to your channel and enjoying your videos!

[@semnome-mj2fx]

I recommend you to read pdf books, not doing spells that can leave a smell, like something with fire, start hiding your grimoire, meditating a lot, having your time and do NOT force yourself. The knowledge will come with time.

[@vanesabryan]

How can I buy books on witchcraft as a broom closeted witch?

[@0fficialselena__90]

Audio books are good of even downloading books on your phone, tablet or computer to read is also good.

[@EllaHarrison]

Scribd is my favourite for reading books digitally they have a big selection of witchy books! But another good way is to read non-witchcraft books such as books on herbalism, ethnobotany, anthropology of religion or ritual for example :)

[@kriswallace4454]

ME TOO!!! Thanks for being there too!

[@xXHanna84Xx]

Finally a new video! 😊

[@destinygrebstad4553]

So how do i pick a starting point because i want to learn about everything. I want all the information 😅

[@EllaHarrison]

I get that and honestly that’s going to continue even after 10 years! 😅 Honestly the best is to figure out the witchcraft in your own region, culture and ancestry and see what is already there! That will be a good starting point 😁

[@captain_pennsylvania]

You said to connect with nature. Everyone always talks about flowers, grass, and plants. I've recently moved to the desert. How can i connect with nature here?

[@EllaHarrison]

You still have nature! The earth below you, various plants, the spirit of the wind, any specific animal that you find fascinating I personally work a lot with earth/dirt as it’s almost like ‘the flesh’ of earth, it has so much energy and the spirit of a place

[@captain_pennsylvania]

[@erkascazuchi8443]

my opinion...what the very basic you need to be a witch or anything like that is....an ability to control ur desires (especially 7 deadly sins) and a strong faith/belief in the supreme entity that protects you,..which i find it very difficult

[@Ann963]

How do you relate the definition of a witch to avoiding the 7 deadly sins and theism? (Please correct me if I misunderstood you.) Is that a Wiccan thing? A Catholic thing? (Genuinely asking😊)
