My Favorite Thrift Store Witchy Finds

[@jeremyharshman3073]

I'm always finding things for my wife to use in her practice: large cast iron cauldrons, railroad spikes, silver candleholders shaped like a floating lily flower, hand-carved book holders, and a few antique containers - one of which had her maiden name and year of birth on. We are always going to markets to see what we can find.

[@johnadamski4012]

🌲🍀🐾Hand carved book holders I've seen'em. I like woodcarving myself it's a relaxing journey🐾🍀🌲.

[@11cassie29]

Regarding the container with her maiden name on it - That is really neat!!

[@PlantedinVenus]

Thrift finds are the best! The energy stored in them is so powerful sometimes and when you're called to them, it's such a cool feeling.

[@TheGreenWitch]

Right! It's incredible!

[@samanthadelic]

Something my godmother taught me is to check thrift stores for candles before anywhere else they almost always have them unused for cheap ~ Thrifting is my literal favorite thing

[@jasminegibbs8334]

My most recent find was a full set of Norse runes. They had only been on the shelf for an hour when I came along

[@wellokbut]

I’ve never caught one of Annie’s videos this close to posting! Annie, you’re the best and inspiring so many witches! Much love!

[@willa.johnson4424]

I love how your mom keeps an eye out for cool finds for you. My mom does this as well for me. Such lovely finds.

[@kaysee2428]

My dad looks out for cool stuff for me at thrift shops. Recently, he found this absolutely beautiful herb grinder. Thrifting is my favorite thing to do when hanging out with my dad.

[@CalHut]

It's my Birthday today, I been getting lots of witchy things.

[@pay1370]

you can wipe of the rust of your caulrons with oil the same way you would season a cast iron pan!

[@TheGreenWitch]

ooo thank you! I will have to try that!

[@BiggerinRealLife]

“Simple and old and useful” = life goals. 😂

Haha really truly

Grimm's snoring has only enhanced an experience that is otherwise unimprovable, haha!

[@traceym2511]

I love thrifting for tools! My questions for for myself when I want something are: do I already have something that I can use? Can I wild craft it? Can I thrift it? Can I buy it from the person who made it? Can I buy it from a small local shop? I love your videos. So helpful! ❤️

[@TheGreenWitch]

that's a great line of questions to go through!

[@thlydd]

I enjoyed thrifting too even before I practiced. There's just so much interesting things you can find and I love wondering where some of the items come from and there's a lot of old things you go "OMG I remember this as a kid!"

[@dsgm10]

I love seeing other people's collections. I really hope you do more of them.

[@jackhaggerty1066]

We all hope and pray your recovery from sickness is a sure and steady progress.

i honestly love that you're a witch with dogs!! i have a dog and always feel like witches should have cats and it discourages me from practicing but seeing you also have dogs really inspires me

[@sallieschuetz1796]

Every witch needs a caldron…..so cute!

[@TheVioletMaze]

Thanks for this inspiration to find things at a thrift store. And please make more videos of your thrifty finds! Get well soon!

[@glendacox6540]

Omg….I too have these old bits! Old is better imo….my home is filled with old,old,old☮️☮️☮️ I’d love to see more of your vintage treasures!💖💖💖

[@sandramariesolander]

I just had to come back here because right after watching your video, I happened across a post in the marketplace for a cobalt blue crystal ball and vintage brass stand! The brass stand consists of three koi fish tail up holding a cobalt blue Glass ball with bubbles inside the glass. Words alone cannot express the beauty of this and I am just ecstatic to have run across this. The owner bought it in an antique shop; it was to be used as part of props for a Halloween House contest last October in the Irvington neighborhood, in Indianapolis. Since they no longer had any use for it, they posted it and I happened to run across it 2 hours later quite by accident! I had just recently bought my daughter an Onyx sphere and brass stand, and had silently wished I could find one for myself. The 0racles heard and granted my wish! And cobalt glass is HUGE in my life. Namaste!

[@only_aster1450]

I didn’t think your videos could get any more soothing but the sound of a snoring dog is just all the more comforting to me 🥹 he’s so peaceful and calm, it makes me feel the same

[@georginataylor3802]

loved this, yes would like to see more of your witchy finds ❤

[@MoonWitch77]

Thrift shop finds are my favourite !!! The best place to find ritual tools and supplies. I have found so many antique treasures at thrift stores that I absolutely love !!!

[@paulbroken-shield5159]

Thrift stores and flea markets are great places to find little gems.

[@barlow949]

I remember playing with small cauldrons just like those when I was a kid. My grandparents had bought an old house and they had been left behind by the previous owners. They're probably long gone by now, but wow core memory unlocked

[@Kira_Martel]

Yes yes yes, love this video. 💚 I much prefer the loved and worn-in feel of antique and secondhand items, it feels so much better than the raw, fresh, almost painful feeling of something new. I really enjoy thrifting and antiquing, being on the lookout for a hidden treasure, and I've often eyed some of the items in your videos wondering about their stories. It's hard to pick favorites, but some of my beloved finds include my own tiny cauldron, a few small cabinets that I keep my tinctures in, many an interesting basket, and a set of blue-and-white ceramic measuring cups with a heart in the handle that I got specifically for making medicine and healing food. I would love for this to become a little series. Some of my favorite things of yours that pop up in your videos are your various ceramic bowls and cups. All the little hand painted mugs and bowls with unique shapes and spouts. They have such a great feel to them and I would love to know a little more about their origin, their journey, and how they found their way into your home.

[@dodiekoehler5256]

Great video. I love thrifting. One of my favorite finds is a set of hand made wooden candle holders. Blessings dear Annie.

[@linsileemoonwillow7922]

This was a very cool video and I hope to see more goodies you find in thrift stores. :)

[@lewisnapton8399]

You have the most gentle spirit. I am so glad I found your videos.

[@jonathanrenfro7126]

One of my best finds is an antique solid brass mortar and pestle at Goodwill. I was extremely excited because it was something that I had always wanted.

[@danielleking3880]

I thrift just about everything. Candles and holders and little oil lamps. brass and cast iron cauldrons, crystals and holders, statues and idols, shells and windchimes. Offering bowls and cups. I've even found two tarot decks, unopened, with the books for them. My faviorate is a crystal ball and stand, simalar to yours in size but the ball is a globe of the earth. and a whole collection of stone and wooden eggs just in time for all the spring festivities this year. A majority of my altar set up is thrifted items. I think most of my house is done in boho shabby thrifted sheek

[@Sugarcreekphotos]

Some of my most recent finds were a double prism pendulum with a crescent moon and full sun in gold and a chakra stone prism. Plus a scarf that shows the phases of the moon with flowers and plants on it. It is gorgeous!

[@DollyKauionalani]

I LOVE thrift store finds! I go Goodwill hunting every pay day. My favorite find so far is this really old antique purple candle holder. My favorite used find over all is an old chef's kitchen table that was by the dumpster at my apartments. A little TLC and it is the perfect altar table!

[@karenborden6032]

Like you I so adore the thrill of walking through an old barn, antique shoppe or thrift store. I never have an agenda and I never know what treasures I will find. It's akin to walking on the seashore and finding a perfectly smooth rock or a seashell gem and if your lucky some sea glass will shine thru the sand at just the right time. I was just browsing Pinterest and after watching this video put in a search for small cast iron cauldrons. My Oh My they are so cute in all their shapes and sizes. I'm already thinking of what I can put in them...

[@athenageislinger6081]

Perfecting timing to watch with my breakfast 🌱

[@monicabooth2812]

I always get heart-eyes when I see your iron shears! They're so beautiful and it's hard to find ones just like it nowadays. I wonder if you could take them to a blacksmith or someone who professionally sharpens knives and scissors to get that edge back! My favourite thrift store find is definitely a first edition copy of Green Witchcraft by Ann Moura :)

[@vikkicantwell2237]

Crystal ball is a sweet find and if you don’t use for what might be intended, it would make for some very creative photography… 🔮

[@koo8400]

[@ladywytch129]

You have found some amazing things! I'm always in the thrift stores, or perusing yard sales. I don't have many "new" items in my practice because I appreciate the energy in found items!

[@FilippaSkog]

I have a small collection of antique copper and brass cauldrons which I LOVE. It’s one of my favourite pastimes, finding beautiful antique witchy things in thrift shops. I’m a bit of a minimalist though, so I don’t use a lot of tools, but I always manage to find new good homes for the things I find and don’t end up using.

[@Scrubbysmomma]

I've been waiting to hear about these iron scales for years!!! YAY!!!!

[@YourPainting1]

The crystal ball was captivating

[@jessicaperez-beardsley8283]

Please keep sharing your witchy thrifty finds! I found a dollhouse China hutch that had shelves for what was probably intended for thimbles and instead I put my crystals in the little spaces 😀

Snoring so cute 🥰 My brother is the best at witchy finds 😊 xx

[@SunshineDawn7]

I am sorry you have been sick Annie 😟I really hope you are feeling better. I loved this video 🥰 one of my favorite things to do is thrifting for Witchy things. I just love all your finds. Many times i wondered where you found that crystal ball. Your Mom is so nice 😊you are really Blessed to have a Mom like that. I found two copper cauldrons in a thrift shop one small and one a little bigger. Kind of like you but mine were copper 😊I have found lots of really cool cast iron candle holders. Lots of great candles, little pottery bowls. I have never found a deck of Tarot cards though. I am still looking lol. I have been meaning to mention that your haunted table you bought looks like it may have come out of a Catholic Church. Glad you and Olivia were able to get rid of whatever came along with it. I once bought an evil eye bracelet that came along with something really bad feeling. Every time i put it on i felt awful so i would take it off and i would feel fine. It was really strange seeing as it was an evil eye and all. It felt like someone put a curse on it. It took me a few tries before ridding it of whatever evil was on it. Scary stuff ! Anyway, I love you so much and hope you start feeling great again ! XOXOXO💚💚

[@prajaktakhedkar5087]

Hey , you can always apply oil on all your rusted iron stuff. Keep them for a few days. Then take off the oil from them with tissue paper and all the rust will be gone

[@ljshaw8516]

Excellent video. Thrifting is such a Hug to Mother Earth. Sorry that you were sick. I have many physical challenges so I get it. Be Blessed my dear. And take care of you.

[@nairbvel]

The background sounds of your videos are familiar to anyone who owns (or has owned, or has lived with) dogs... so it's kinda nice to hear. Back when my family was in Europe, I picked up a collection of resin gargoyles(!) for a pittance at a flea market. They're scattered around my house, and there are a couple that I've identified as being copies of actual gargoyles on Notre Dame cathedral. Most of my other collections are interesting rocks, sticks, or feathers I found on the ground... :-)

[@barbarajeandixon6809]

I have been very lucky. I have found quite a few witchcraft books, some candle sticks and a deck of Steampunk tarot cards in the box --with all cards and book, a gorgeous hand blown wine glass in burgundy and purple to use as my chalice (in a pair, in case I break one!), a lot of beautiful carved wooden boxes to keep my tarot cards herbs, incense, and other smalls. I love looking to see what I can re-purpose for my witchy needs!

[@xJadeWolfxx]

I only have a few pieces I managed to find at thrift places, the area I am in is one where quality second hand is found at antique stores which are more money than true thrift stores or new. But when I have time I always peek through, you never know what will stand out. My favorite is a silver metal dish/basket thing that I use to hold my smoke bundle and a little antique silver owl that turned out to be one half of a salt and pepper shaker. I repainted it's eyes and now its a beautiful blind owl figure for my ancestor altar (my great grandmother collected owls according to my mom).

[@maplegrove7]

I do a balance of buying things from end of the season sales, antiques, yard sales and Good Will Stores or something similar.

I love second hand finds. I rarely purchased new items until a few years ago and spent many years using hand made or thrifted items. My favorite find is this large silver serving bowl I use to collect rain or to scry in.

The little cauldron is a smelting pot and sometimes they were used for lead. I burn incense in mine too!

One of my fav finds was at our local thrift and it was a small hand carved trinket bowl with a lid that twists to lock. I use it for rings 💜

I found a cool wood mortar and pestle all carved with animals on it. I use it exclusively for grinding up my eggshells. I also found a plated ornate vessel with handles on each side. I use that for offerings or to hold extra crystals I might not currently be using

[@AppalachianGrace]

I've always loved antique shops and thrift stores! Just be careful with the small cast iron kettles. I collect cast iron and I found out that many of those small kettles were used to melt lead. Just a little heads up!

[@johnadamski4012]

🌲🍀🐾 a very good point to warn everyone about, thanks. 🐾🍀🌲.

[@BelindaTN]

good point. This same warning can be applied to any cast iron. Many old cast iron cooking pans and pots have been used for many things that would be toxic to ingest or inhale. Also some years ago it was popular to decorate homes with old cast iron. Since they were being used as decore, they were often painted black. So some old cast iron has has been painted as well as used for all kinds of things outside the kitchen. I cook with cast iron skillets, but they either came to me new or I got them from people that i knew only used them for cooking. Like my mother, grandmother and other women that used them for cooking. So I know the history of my antique cast iron.

[@carlygreen8605]

What a great idea for a video!! I much prefer the energy of second items, they feel more... worn in? I'm way more attracted to items that haven't been marketed as witchy, for some reason it feels more practical. If you do another video like this then what about thrifted altar items? Or thrifted wearable items

I was surprised when I went through both my mom and grandmothers estate to find some amazing witchy finds hidden in their things. My grandmother had cast iron cauldrons and my mom had some great options similar to your silver cup. I find that flea markets and estate sales have so many awesome options and the old stuff really was built to last generations

[@davcox100]

Love the iron shears Annie. Why don’t you get a whetstone and have a go at sharpening your shears. There’s plenty of instructions on KZbin on how to sharpen knives and shears. I’m sure they’ll sharpen beautifully.

[@TheGreenWitch]

I should! I will go look into that now! Thank you

[@Kira_Martel]

You could even use water or oil (depending on the kind of stone you get) that's been infused with herbs or an intention. And the waning of the moon is always best for the sharpest blade. ✨

[@teresastorms3774]

Wow, I absolutely LOVE seeing the things people find at thrift stores, antique malls, etc! Please show us more! I'm new to the Craft, but so far my two favorite finds at an estate sale were a brass bell and a really neat glass pitcher with an insert for ice...but I use it to make gem elixirs. The insert is perfect for crystals and herbs to infuse their energy into the water without actually being IN the water.
