I also was raised in a Christian home but was always in love with nature, celtic history, and magick...oddly enough i think Tolkien literature was the beginning for me...and it was what started my feeling about trees and runes and bigger picture sacredness...and my father instilled love of mystery in nature like the fae...as i got older i realized that some of this is real and true and sacred and goes beyond mythology and entertainment and is a way of celebrating creator/spirit/mother Gaia and nature and magick. ❤

[@EmbracingMagick]

Ahhh love your story, thank you for sharing with us! Yessss, it is such an amazing realisation isn't it! ❤

I am pretty new to this, just started an active journey last Sept. but I know without a doubt I’ve always been a witch. And yes, it started in childhood with seeing visions and spirits and being discouraged & told lies that it wasn’t real, I was wrong. So there’s where the doubting myself began. I was weird. I was the weird one in my entire family (I thought then). So I carried on like children are “supposed to”. Then in high school, I became best friends with someone whose mother read tarot. People came to her, secretly. I was sooooooo intrigued❗️. Also I wanted, desired, to spend time at their house because it felt so good. They had old everything. My attraction to old furniture & things started in elementary school when my class would go to a certain museum every year. I’d be mesmerized by this one display that had the old primitives and I’d stand and stare with a KNOWING that I’d been alive during that time. So, the first time I entered my friends house, I felt like I was home. Then I met another teacher at 19, but my life took a turn into the darkness of addiction for quite a few years. Once that was over, I then met more and more people and the most impactful was being introduced to indigenous (N. American) spiritual practices. Again, I felt at home. And believe me, witchcraft practice and indigenous practices are so, so closely related❗️. And that led me to the present today, when I told you all my whole story‼️. I apologize. Discovering your podcasts has been a gift bc I live a very isolated life. I have to edit who I share with. Thank goodness, 2 of my 3 children, husband and some friends get it. Thank you for all 3 of you. 🦋🦋🦋🦋

[@EmbracingMagick]

Awwww lovely to hear your story, thank you for sharing with us! Can totally relate to that feeling of being the ‘weird’ one but then again who wants to be normal 😉 Thanks for joining in on this journey with us, we’re grateful to have you here! ♥️

[@user-if5km6yr9t]

Just loving the chat and the genuine laughter ❤

[@EmbracingMagick]

Thanks so much! ❤️

[@tammyflores7510]

I just found your podcast today. It is wonderful. I am binge watching your other episodes now and looking forward to the next one. I believe the Clair name you are looking for is clairolfactance. The sense of clear smelling

[@EmbracingMagick]

Aww thanks Tammy, glad you're liking it! & Thank you, yes, that's it!

[@veronicanowell]

Spicy Toni! 😂❤ Oh you 3 absolutely kill me! I'm watching this while hubby's zoned into the "Tour de whatever" on TV and you 3 are making me giggle all way through. And a bit teary eyed too because your all so relatable. Best decision joining the Coven ever! Love you all ❤

[@EmbracingMagick]

Haha Spicy Toni! Awww lots of love to you Veronica, glad you enjoyed the first episode! xx

[@beckyboots4045]

🎉 Congratulations on your first episode! Throughly enjoyed this and looking forward to the next ones ❤

[@EmbracingMagick]

Thanks so much!! So glad you enjoyed it!! 😊

[@RubyRouge-zj8uw]

What a nice episode to start off with! 😁I've been atheist all my life, but discovered "witchcraft" as a umbrella term of practices last year and I've been back-and-forth about starting down that path myself. I do like that some practices appear to align nicely with the values and rituals I developed following a therapeutic journey I started in my early 20s following a rough patch in my mental and physical health. I appreciated how you all touched upon some of the interwoven topics of wellbeing, community, misinformation, and research, so I look forward to seeing what else you talk about in this podcast! 👍

[@EmbracingMagick]

Glad you enjoyed it Ruby! It’s such a wonderful journey, finding all the things that resonate with you and light you up isn’t it! ♥️

[@DivinationwithEggs]

I love how I can listen to this while in the beginning of my own witchcraft journey. Like I’ll have you playing in the background while doing my own little study

[@EmbracingMagick]

Aww that's so amazing to hear! :) Hope you're enjoying it!

[@fernward8764]

Loved this! 🥰 Lots of cackle out loud moments and it was lovely listening to you all and hearing your stories. I cant wait for the next one! ✨

[@EmbracingMagick]

Aww thanks Fern! :) xx

[@kathleenroberts7972]

Clairolfaction is the psychic sense of smell. When I enter my house if i smell nag champa I know a spirit is there waiting to chat. Intresting that so many of us witches are recovering catholics.

[@EmbracingMagick]

Yeah it is super interesting isnt it!!

[@deyaniragomez7169]

I have had this experience too o.o I really don't know how to approach that type of situation tho. I just say thank you for visiting xD

[@SarahWilkinson-ko3gx]

Just listened to this and absolutely love it. Thank you x

[@EmbracingMagick]

Awww thank youuuu ♥️🫶🏼🥰

[@candaceseitz7689]

Ive always been one since i was young. It became strongrr for me because the craft saved my life. My ex abused me for many years and witchcraft gave me light, happiness, and the craft was waiting for me.

[@EmbracingMagick]

So sorry to hear this happened to you ❤️ I’m glad you’ve found so much happiness through witchcraft ✨

[@GinaMichelle33rpm]

I like that you touched on the crab mentality of societal “norms” and our yearn to disassociate from it.

[@EmbracingMagick]

♥️♥️

[@LavenderHazelwood]

re: 10:35 I can relate. I see so many similarities between theatre practice and witchcraft practice. I grew up doing theatre and found witchcraft to be something that synthesized many of my interests. I came to it as an adult after experiencing multiple deaths in my life and needed a way to stay connected to them but also to myself. Your coven sounds lovely.

[@EmbracingMagick]

Thank you so much for sharing! Your path sounds very similar to our lovely Lizzy 🥰 Thank you, we are very grateful to have such lovely members in our coven! Thanks, there are so many clairs, hard to remember them all xx

[@asyiaullah3359]

I love these ❤ I can't wait until you can do another

[@EmbracingMagick]

Thank you so much ♥️♥️ Latest episode is up!! Xx

Aww amazing Julie! 🖤

[@catherineallen4661]

Loved this, it really resonated with me. Looking forward to the next one 😊

[@EmbracingMagick]

yay! next one is coming very soon! :)

[@AjTheOracle0_0]

As a baby witch who started practiceing like maybe about a month ago just listening to this episode alone made me feel so comfortable with calling myself a witch. Also it is really reasureing to see that I don't have to figure out everything all at once like what type of witch am I? Or, what type of spellwork do I specifically wanna focus on? In short this podcast really did wonders for me so quickly in just a single episode. I will deffinitely be sticking around🖤

[@EmbracingMagick]

Awww that’s so amazing!! So glad it made you feel that way! Absolutely, it’s your journey and you don’t have to have everything all figured out right away! Everyone is on their own unique path and that’s what’s so beautiful! Glad to have you here! ♥️

[@Siaan_Kellie]
