How to be a Witch in the City | Tips and Tricks for city witches

[@MrsLadyLiberty]

I live in my SUV, so I'm a travel witch. For tonights full moon I'll be by the ocean. My altar changes depending on where I am and then I return what I've gathered back to where I collected it.

[@wren1019]

i think it's important that one doesn't try to force a place to be like someplace else. for example, one shouldn't try to make the city "act" like the country. if one is in the city, one should work with the city as it is. just my opinion (i say this as someone who is a cottage witch who lives in the suburbs! heh heh). there is so much magic everywhere!

[@Thewitchescookery]

Absolutely agree! The city holds soooo much magic in itself that can't be found somewhere else ✨🦋 I always love city magick and especially finding those magical power places there

Being resourceful and creative with what we have on had is such a staple in being a practitioner. Well said.

Mexico city! Not at all close to living in a cozy cottage in the middle of the woods, but actually by watching your videos when you go to the forest makes me feel like I’m there too.

[@Thewitchescookery]

I always wanted to visit there - must be quite the busy energy too! So happy to hear you are with me on my forests walks 😄🌿🦋

[@anabelenmanonsuarez8431]

Also Mexico City :)

I LOVE el DF! Lots of magical places despite it being so urban. Have you been on the rooftop tour of the big Cathedral - we separated from the tour guide and had some very mystical air element adventures up there. Plus, so much to connect with the ancient ancestors there!

[@dodiekoehler5256]

I live in a small rural town. Its about a mile square. Population around 1100. Our home sits on a large corner lot. We have a huge backyard. I feel lucky I can light my fire ring whenever I want. But summers are just TOO HOT! We have enough room for any kind of gardening. I prefer to do my working intentions either within my home or in my backyard. We have lived in our home for 40 years now. So there is a lot of strength and love within its walls. My maternal grandmother came from Germany when she was 16 years old. She lived to be 99 and 1/2 years old. I love listening to you. Your accent is much like hers was. 😊❤❤

[@nancyc5922]

Ahhh the city ! St.Lin, Quebec Canada. The city I can handle for a certain amount of time, then the chaos begins to break through, so its limited time spent there. Before going to the city, my home gets a good cleaning and cooling to be a calm, stress and chaos free space when I arrive back home, scented with clove, star anis, cinnamon and citrus. Most days when I am at home, clove incense burns at my back door.

[@Brynja24]

I live in the city of Bonn, Germany. We have a little balcony and we grow many plants and flowers there. Also I think, Bonn is not a typical city. It doesn't seem so busy, crowded and "grey" like many other cities. It indeed is very green and the old buildings you can find everywhere adds to the wonderful charisma. As a witch, I really feel home here. Nature is not very far away, just a walk or a shorter bus trip and you have the Rhine or the forest, where I can relax, ground myself and meditate.

[@nohelanikh6788]

I love your point about strengthening your shields. I’m one of those people who find the city draining.

[@Thewitchescookery]

It definitely helps to have that protective magick in place 🙂✨🌇

I live in New Jersey US by the Atlantic Ocean and the pine barrens in a single family home it’s old and comfy.

[@Thewitchescookery]

Every time you describe your home or the surroundings I can just picture it 😍 (no idea if it looks like what I have in mind, but what I see in my mind is beautiful 😄)

[@hearthandbesom]

Ooh, Jersey witch, too! And yes, Bex, that area is delightful and relaxing (unless you’re stuck in summer beach traffic 😂)

[@bridgetteresa5050]

Your videos have the magical dual effect of both teaching me new ways to look at my craft, and also making me get my morning coffee all over myself because I laugh so hard at your silly bits. 😆😊😆 We are currently in a rural area, but will be moving to a more urban area in the coming months. This gives me much food for thought on how to continue my practicecin that new environment ❤

[@Thewitchescookery]

Oh I am so please to read that ❤️ thank you! Moving to a new environment is always a challenge but I hope it will hold many new discoveries and new experiences in your practice for you too ☺️

I once taught a class on the quarters and only allowed them to use food items from the kitchen. After the circle we ate the quarters! It was very energetic!

You’ve got some moves girl! I’ve lived in cities (Wash. DC, New York etc), but I was raised in the Midwest and the south of the US in the country and that’s where I am now, near the sea. My fav seasons…cool, cold, cool….summer humidity makes me melt…..and then of course….stinky!

Greetings from Edmonton, capital of Alberta! It's a bigger city but we are lucky enough to live by a ravine and surrounded by nature also from our own yards. When I travel (for work) I connect with the urban energy and nature too, I remember my magical moments in parks in Madrid, Sevilla, Malaga or Paris and Strasbourg! Regards

[@janneserojas]

Lovely video. I am a Green witch in Brooklyn, I grew up in NYC so it's all I know, and have been practicing for 33yrs. My goal since I was young was having an apt in close proximity to one of our two large parks that have a lake and wildlife, and near the beaches and when I made that happen it was perfect. I also have a little garden on the roof of my building and have a lot of plants inside my apt. I have used the pot of earth technique many times when I need to bury something, and foraging in my park, mugwort is super invasive in North Eastern US so there is plenty. I also recommend a window box if your building allows it. Shielding practice is a must in NYC as an empath it can be overwhelming especially on the subway, and now because of COVID you can feel everyone's anxiety so it's super important to practice this. Thanks for sharing your tips.

[@Thewitchescookery]

So wonderful that you were able to get your space next to some nature and great tip for the window box! 🌿☺️💚 - I can imagine living in such a big city with so much hectic and stressful energy going on can be quite draining at points - but Yaih for good shielding and grounding techniques ✨

[@chrystalbliske9512]

My practices and celebrations change a bit from when I live in the country in our mountain home or in our city home near the shore. Using the energies around us there so much that can be done no matter where we live!! OH! And if you go on vacation to the country you can always energies from there as well and vice versa lol so excited about shifting my energy and thought process right after Lughnasadh by moving living locations and enjoying the way life flows faster even though it's cooler weather in the city.

[@yvonneloveland4214]

I live in IL of the United States in a rural area. However I love your views on the different ways to connect. I just think you have such a wonderful energy blessings to you 🌻

[@marieamelieforrer472]

I am in the city but I really want to go to the country, I am in Paris and this city gives me so much anxiety I have wanted to leave ever since I started living there 3 years ago. Horrible. It is a beautiful city with many shops and cools places to go to but I don't even shop so ... I only order online. I am glad you have this video, it is going to come in handy since I am not able to leave yet.

[@LavenderHazelwood]

I'm in Los Angeles, California. I always find relief from the chaos when I can go to a high place and look down at the city below. I usually find these spots in the big parks/hiking areas. I don't envy you in Spain in the Summer months. It's sooooooo beastly hot! And yes, I have been in your shoes in Spain and ducked into a nice cool church to get out of the sweltering heat. The peace and cool has been sleep-inducing on several occasions, jeje. -Aurora

[@lizhadley3803]

I live in a suburbia area of Maryland in the USA. We have a historic downtown area nearby, but it's not "urban." Parts of our county are very rural with farmland and state parks. I would like to move a little further out in the county to have some land for privacy and gardening.

[@KnitFit1]

I live in Los Angeles in the U.S. and we barely have seasons out here so it's easy to feel disconnected from nature. But we can go play in the ocean anytime so it kinda balances. Botanical gardens are wonderful you can really get a different sense of the energy from different garden sections. The classes can be wonderful too. It's also fun to pull a Batman or a Spiderman and go to the top floor of a tall building and look out over the city. that way you can connect with the energy of the city without being overwhelmed by it. Sometimes it's even easier to ground from high up because you can visually see the earth and nature surrounding the area and supporting it.

[@Thewitchescookery]

I had the same feeling when I lived in Spain - especially since I grew up with having the four seasons, but having a beach must be wonderful! And I absolutely looooove your tip about the looking for places high up for grounding!! 🌇☺️

[@skeingamepodcast5993]

I live on a sailboat on Vancouver Island, but I'm babysitting my friend's cottage while she's out on a sailing trip. I'm loving being with her chickens and turkeys and playing in her gardens. I'm especially enjoying her bathtub too lol. I do have a little herb garden on my boat and lots of other plants. They really make me happy and taking care of them is part of my morning ritual.

I recently came across your channel and I'm loving you!! Your just the best at what you do and have inspired me so very much! I've always been closeted about my craft and it's been a very personal journey. I recently turned 40 and have had a renewal and awakening in my life. You are the perfect guide for the next chapter on my journey of witchcraft. You have so many wonderful tips, idea's, and perspectives on witchcraft and how to practice. I like you consider myself a green/ kitchen witch and never really realized that I was already putting intentions into my craft until you opened my eye's to it. "I have always collected little stones, sticks, pinecone, berries, leaves, etc." I'm in Colorado USA and have Germanic/Celtic roots in my ancestry so your type of witchcraft speaks deeply to my soul. ✨

[@oldcrone]

I live in a city. I go for a walk under the moonlight. I enjoy dining out and trying different cuisine. I enjoy shopping and decorating my home. I have a sewing room where I sew quilts and wall hangings and I am learning how to make stuffed animals. My life is quite full as a city witch. I go to a quilting guild meeting with other women and they put together a big quilt show every year. I get out to the country sometimes. Life is what you make it.💝

I'm a suburban witch who only has enough room in their backyard to grow a couple herbs and a couple veggies haha. I love to incorporate my veggies and herbs (and any weeds I forage while pulling haha... Its amazing how many weeds can pop up in such a tiny backyard) into my kitchen witchery, and I like to dry my herbs and some flowers to use all year round! That reminds me, i missed the window for roses.... I need to go harvest my lavender hahaha

[@RobinCurrie]

Thank you. I live in the city. My neighbors enjoy seeing my pots of herbs, watching me gathering early in the morning when I need something, and they sometimes ask me questions after seeing my spells happening on my steps in my small cast iron cauldron.

[@Greye13]

Bex, you have such a bubbly personality and it's a joy to watch your videos. I live in the U.S., in Denver. Unfortunately, I live in the city center and while we have a lot parks here, there's just always too many people for me (I have social anxiety). Luckily, my apartment has a balcony so I can make myself a place outdoors at least. We're not allowed to hang things - including plants - but I can have a chair, small table, and some non-hanging plants. The street noise is a bit much, but at least it affords a mild form of privacy. I much prefer the open country, which I'm planning on returning to in another 2-3 years. For other city dwellers - or actually for anybody - I have found there are other ways to invoke a spell or work magic and not a soul will suspect anything. I do a lot of different types of needlework - crochet/knitting, tatting, cross stitch, hand sewing, and so on. These things are basically just another form of knotwork, so while you're sitting there working on something, you just focus/will your magical intent into every stitch/knot you make. You can do this at home, or you can keep it small and take it with you wherever you go. It will work for macrame, basic craft making, drawing, painting, those wildflowers -or other natural objects - you find while walking, etc. Everyone else will think you're just "crafting" 😆 for fun, Lol. Oh, and if you're sitting on a wooden bench, near a tree, rocks, or whatever, just knock on that wood and ask those spirits to assist in your magic. Just remember to release and thank them when you're done. Go ahead and let your imagination get creative. Anyway, I wanted to share this because I do this quite often and the needlework helps pass the time on public transit. 🙂 Many blessings to everyone.

[@fayeangel4323]

what a lovely energy you have! i was born in Alabama, but now am living in the city of Lisboa. In Alabama i grew up next a wonderful forest with flowing creeks, thunderously tall trees and boulders. it gave me a gateway to always be able to return to this nature of my heart. In Lisboa there are wonderful pockets of nature everywhere and the city is kissing the Tejo river. the water holds such magnetism. thank you for presence.

[@ghostlevelzero7446]

You got it exactly: in a tiny apartment in the middle of downtown! But I also live across from a big park, and my city is really an urban forest so I live beneath giant trees that line the streets and sidewalks. It's a pretty unique location and I really like it. The seasons are a challenge, though, because they are offset. Although fall is beyond beautiful here, it doesn't start until November, so while everyone else seems to be bundling up and enjoying the chill in the air in September and October, I'm still in shorts and sandals.

[@adulterateddoctrine2878]

I live in a Vorstadt (I forgot the english name for this), so I don‘t really live in the city but I also don‘t have a forest near me. I live in a house with a garden and all, but i‘m a broom closet witch so I can only use my room.

This was so helpful!! I am re-listening and making notes 😅 Also since you asked, I am living in Utrecht, the Netherlands, it’s quite an old town (3800 years), so it’s a great idea to connect with history. I try to connect with nature via (a ton) of houseplants, & going regularly to farmers and buy fresh produce from their land. Also I try to be outside when the weather allows it, but it is still a city. Hopefully I can move away front the current apartment to a house where I can have a small garden without gawping neighbors 👀😅

[@chosengirl2000]

I'm pretty much in a suburb of Los Angeles...just south of LAX...in a group of cities called the "beach cities" but traffic and life gets in the way of us getting to the beach. I love being at the beach during early morning low tide...you can find so many cool things. We do have several thrift stores here but my favorite are yard sales...i even have an app that will show me on a local map the places where the is a yard sale going on.

Really needed this today, Bex. Absolutely sick to my stomach after having friends assaulted arriving to their chemo appointments yesterday by right wing fascist, covid denying anti-maskers and keep seeing the videos everywhere. The world is so ugly and broken right now, be it politics, human rights, climate crisis … I just can’t stop crying. It’s enough to make ya give up. Your videos help my overwhelming anxiety immensely and always make me wish I had a friend like you irl. You seem especially adept at seeing the bigger picture and grounding yourself. I need more of that … the rage just consumes me and it’s so hard to step out of it. Thank you for putting yourself out there. You’re an amazing teacher. Wish nothing but peace, love, and abundance to you and your beautiful family. 🖤👊

Way too hot! I am very lucky that I have a big back yard area to enjoy and connect to nature. When it is not so hot. HA!

[@diannenixon621]

Cindy I also live in Utah, at 103 you must be in the St George area. I live in the Salt Lake Valley and I believe it only got up to 93 😂. I live in one of the suburb cities(750,00 people) but my home is on a 5th of an acre, not huge but big enough that I have several gardens where I work daily (usually after 4pm as it cools down). I try to garden mindfully as I pull weeds, trim plants, deadhead roses or work on a new area I'm creating. So when city noise or crush of people bothers me, I'll take a drink and sit on my patio listening to my fountains and shut out external noise.

[@Thewitchescookery]

In my case is difficult to have my own space to practice witchcraft cause I live in a little apartment. I have some plants but generally I try to put my intentions in a special diary. I´m at the beginning of this wonderful path, your channel gives me inspiration.🥰

[@saraht6562]

Love it, Bex! My Ontario city has just over 400k people, which is enough to feel hectic at times. I’m very fortunate that I’ve been able to afford to buy a house with a good-sized yard, and I live right near a natural area so I get a fair amount of green space. Here and there I think about the city pollution and plants. But if I’m being honest with myself, everything I’m putting in my body is polluted. The farmers that grow our food have huge farms right off of major roads and highways, and there’s no way to avoid eating it unless I were to move into the deep country and grow everything myself. Which isn’t happening. 😂

[@RoundtheCauldron]

I was attracted to this video, in particular as I live in an apartment, in Montreal, Canada. Since you asked us to share, I find my true self in the tiny pockets of semi-wild parks, trails, hedgerows, trackside ditches, and nature preserves. Luckily, Montreal has managed to hold on to reasonably sized chunks of wild spaces like: the Mount Royal trail, Bois-de-Liesse nature park, and large urban areas such as Angrignon and Verdun parks where I can feel a little bit more in touch with nature. However, still remaining aware that there is always the chance that someone will come around the trail bend as I'm frolicking about in my birthday suit (nude), or that the police will come to make me extinguish my campfire. As such, there are potential sources of natural materials and plants, but also the constant fear that you're being watched. Also, the elevated levels of pollution means that foraging is always riskier in the city than the countryside. Anyhow, you've been an amazing guide for me thus far and plan on watching MANY more of your videos. Thank you

I live in the city, not by choice, in a duplex with a large lot I flipped into a garden. It’s my refuge in this cement hellhole.

[@Thewitchescookery]

Hehe the cement hellhole 😄 that is awesome though! I always turned my balconies into tiny gardens too in order to at least have a bit of green around 💚

Enjoy your vids so much! You are so delightful! Thank you.

I live in Japan in a fairly urbanized area. I appreciate your tips. Luckily there are many many parks that I am lucky enough to enjoy.

Thank you for the wonderful video im a country witch and we do have to drive a ways for the metaphysical stores but that is ok because i am also green witch and i have endless wood and country to explore! love from louisiana 💜💜⚜️⚜️

So many great ideas, very invigorating. Thank you

[@hearthandbesom]

Hello 👋🏼 my fabulous friend!! 😘 Looks like you’re having a lovely time together (minus the sauna-esque weather). Thank you for taking the time & sharing with us. Your comment on foraging in the city made me chuckle thinking of my dear, robust Slovak Grandmother taking “slips” of plants 🤦‍♀️ from neighborhood greenery as we walked to the bus stop. 😂🤣

[@Thewitchescookery]

Hellooooo lovely! It is wonderful but incredibly hot and sticky haha ahhh my mom does the same 😅🌿

My apartment is a 10-minute bike ride from the downtown waterfront (in Florida). My absolute favorite spot to meditate is on top of the seawall, where I'm literally sitting right above the edge of the ocean.

[@JasminMoon]

New subscriber and so excited to have found your channel. I live in New York and so wish I had access to nature. Loved this video thank u✨

[@cappybara]

I'm moving from living on the edge of a forest (i live in New Zealand) to a big city in February for university so thank you so much for this video!! It's defo going to be weird to look out of my window and see cars instead of forest, but I'm excited for a new step and adventure, and this video gave me lots of ideas :)

[@judithlashbrook4684]

Hi, I live in the Brittany countryside and could never ever even consider moving back to a city (I managed to survive 5 years of hell in Paris) however your perspective on city witchcraft will undoubtedly help when I have to go for a short trips to the city. Thank you!

[@Thewitchescookery]

What a beautiful part of the world ❤️ I absolutely adore it! And yeees, Paris is definitely quite the exhausting city (even though it has enchanting corners and places too) ✨

Hi. Thanks for the ideas. I currently live in a small town in England, but I come from the capital of Poland. There's a lot more wild plants around here and the area is hilly and less polluted, so I like going on walks in nature here, but I admit, l am still a city girl :D I miss having a big balcony where I could grow plants and see the moon, the sun, and the city panorama. I think each place has a different energy, but there's always something nice to appreciate about it.

[@Thewitchescookery]

I so feel you! I too will be a city girl at heart, even though I very much enjoy living in the rural countryside now 😄 Warsaw is so beautiful too! I really loved living in Poland and much like in Germany, even if you live in a city, it is so easy to access nature close by 🌿

[@ingriduusitalo567]

I'm a city witch and I'm from Finland. Most cities here have some sort of forests, even the bigger cities have forests! I actually live in an apartment building that has a forest starting right from the building's backyard! And the wild foraging in a city for kitchen witchery wouldn't be a problem here either since the air quality is quite good during the foraging season! 😊

[@velvet_malkavian]

i need the nature around me. i live in a smal village in the west west germany, nearby the border to the netherlands. i live with my cat lilith in a woderful light flat on a farm. my neighbors are geese, cows and chickens :D i thing i am a herbal-kitchen-cottage witch.

[@Thewitchescookery]

Nature really is my therapy! I just need to see some green on a daily basis too 🙂 hihi love your neighbors! That sounds beautiful 🌿✨

[@franchfitgirl]

I’m in Wyoming! So I’m lucky enough to live in a small bumbling University town but only a short drive to the mountains around us. I really love your videos and this one helped inspire me even more :)

[@LairMistress]

I live in Seattle, Washington USA! It is an urban environment; but there are lots of urban gardens, P-patches, even wildlife like raccoons and possums running around. Of course, we also live on the coast; and Seattle is often associated with sea life like salmon and orcas... :)

[@claremiller9979]

Great advice for what is probably the largest witchy-inclined group in the world - rural witches are definitely the minority these days I think. I'm a suburban witch, very lucky to live near a river and have a backyard in southern Australia so at least I get the seasons and can grow veggies and herbs easily (except I often kill them, but I'm getting better). I used to live in the country as a kid and I still miss the stars, would love to move back one day for that reason alone.

[@ireallylovecilantro]

I live in the city but I love to travel. I think botanical gardens are an excellent way for a city witch to feel connected to nature if they can’t go further out.

[@Thewitchescookery]

City life is great and when you get out on travels you appreciate nature so much more ☺️💚

[@mrd6869]

Good video. When i lived in Mahattan,i was part of the Magick community there, which btw is HUGE. If you never visited Witchfest...its worth it. Anyway i found that my spells manifested faster in a city enviroment.Especially in New York. Im thinking with the amount of people & frantic energy,the universe has a million channels to use,to answer your request. Money magic was off the hook there...real fast manifesting times.

[@LilithLovewolfe]

Love this video! I did a similar one recently, although much less beautifully shot 😅 I live in Toronto Canada so a very busy city, but my hope is to one day live further out in nature. There are, however, many conveniences as you say to living in the city!

I'm just holding out for retirement when we can get out and be near the trees again. It's definitely an opportunity to learn all about protection magick and get some real practice with it!

I live in Washington DC, luckily I live right across from rock creek park, so I can easily connect with nature, and I have my own apartment so I love doing smoke cleansing and rituals when my baby is asleep…

Hello, I just discovered your channel and cannot stop! Do you hace any videos or recommendations on making geos and soap bars? Thank you

[@Thewitchescookery]

Not yet, but that is a great idea!! Might make this into a vlog

[@joejoe5673]

I live in Staten Island, NY and I purchase my fresh/dry herbs in supermarkets. I just dry my own fresh herbs at home. Please make a video on taking breaks from witchcraft and when to do so. My e energy has been low lately and I have not been practicing as much as I'd love to.

[@lenamaier4819]

I'm from Germany too and just moved from the north sea to Berlin so your video was very helpful and calming for me as I've been kinda lacking the nature here which almost made me loose my spirit and just accept that I'll just have to stick to a little kitchen magic. This video was truly inspiring thank you so much :) Might I ask which city you have been filming in? I would have never guessed that this was filmed here in Germany it looks absolutely stunning!

[@Thewitchescookery]

Oh I love the sea side - we always went on holiday to the North sea when I was a child ❤️ such beautiful nature! I can imagine it being a big change to live in Berlin now! Someone else commented some places in Berlin that are rich in nature - maybe you can check them out ☺️ this was filmed in Cordoba (southern Spain) - we are living with my partner's mom for the next 2-3 months because she broke her leg and needs some help getting chores done, etc.

[@Cernunnos_83]

Berlin City Witch here: Eastern Berlin is full of nature places. For example Buch with natural forests and Hellersdorf with much nature (and wild horses), the Tierpark and the "Gärten der Welt". And Brandenburg with a lot of beautiful nature places is near by. 🌳
