Putting the "Craft" in Witchcraft with Marshall Witch of Southern Light

[@KhaoticSgath]

I LOVE to see you two together, there's something special between you two, a connection, a something that makes me smile everytime, something that makes me feel relax. Marshall is a really great guy, talented, strong you're lucky to have him as a friend as much as he's lucky to have you as a friend too. You two are inspiring, charming, powerful. Thank you you two for being two great souls and for both of your channel that inspires us everytime. Much love from France.

[@TheWitchOfWonderlust]

This is so sweet, thank you.

[@Anneitia]

I completely agree! This video made me so much better, more relaxed, and most definitely inspired to continue my craft! Really hope you two decide to do more videos together ❤

[@lindasmithers9994]

Hello Marshall, that is a great idea, about "the nails" at a crossroads. I never thought of it that way. You're right the "telephone poles" are covered with thousands of nails.

[@aynapaisley]

This vlog was so much more inspirational and practical than I initially expected. Thank you for so much valuable information

[@ariasrichard8398]

What he's talking about in the beginning around 4:45 is called Subjective Synthesis, and it's the basis behind why grimoire magic works at all. The systems in those books are constructed according to the way the creators believed the world to work. The closer a person's Work is to the way they believe the world works, the more potent and effective it is.

[@lisemzarate4029]

Great convos, lots of validation for a self teaching new practitioner who has zero access to other witches in person. Appreciate both of you so much 💜🦄

[@guapodesperado2822]

You two have so much amazingly synergistic energy together. You are truly blessed to have found each other in this life.

[@WitchyArtist23]

You guys have helped me so much during my witchcraft journey and I just wanted to say thank you I found the path that speaks to me and you have taught me so much you're the best Olivia 💚💚

[@colorfulhag5144]

Also back to making small grimoires it would be fun to just eventually have a library of magickal tomes and texts of all the knowledge you have amassed over the years, also you could have like a charmed moment just searching through mountains of books to find this one spell.

[@shaycarter2602]

YES! Perfect thing for me to unwind to after work 💜 thank you guys, love your conversations.

[@pattijones13]

Both of you are wonderful to watch. I have watched this video SOO many times. I, too, have those journals that are "to pretty to mess up" and watching this video always inspires me so much to break into those pretty books and create that book of shadows/grimoire. You are both so creative and have made the most beautiful books! Big thank you to Marshall for sharing contents of his own book and I just love how much heart he has put into the creation of it. I can really tell you both adore your craft and it really is an inspiration to us all. Any time I feel creatively stuck, I watch this video and it all comes rushing back. Thank you both! Hopefully there will be more videos of you together in the future!

[@crystalwaddell6176]

I love you two ❤️ Beautiful souls resonating awesome energy ✨️

[@autumndavis4670]

I love listening to another southern witch talk about working with nature and the specific land available to us. 💜

[@cherieheyn6553]

The message I took from this , is let it flow. Don't hold it back. Don't keep it inside, Let It Flow!!! What Inspiration. Brilliant!

[@themakuachronicles]

Aw y’all are so beautiful! 🌹Thank you for sharing your special time together with us!

[@DrkThistleWitch]

I love the energy of this video so much!!!

[@ClaudiaDCD]

Grimoires are so intimidating because I'm trying to make it perfect and aesthetic, but I love how the scrapbooking version allows for petitions to be like typed really nicely, or fixes pasted on top, or even (a fav idea in my head) to have annotations of how the spell went and what to do to make it better. Loved this talk and the petitions read aloud are so beautifully written!!

[@Nilisa]

this video feels so comfortable to watch, perfect for autumn

[@CardsCo.]

This was hands down my favorite collab since Arabian Conjure...I love and adore both you and Marshall and I also just started a new BOS of my own and got some really great ideas thanks so much loved this video💖💖

[@echodragon6]

Both your grimoires and practices inspire me so so much right now, I've been stuck with my practice for month now and this video gives me so much motivation

[@MerColCor]

I love your channel so much. I have been in such a rut with my practice and been getting back into things!! I always come back to your channel when I need inspiration or re-learning some tips and tricks I've learned since following you for so long. Keep up the awesome work!!!❤️

[@sapphiccselkie]

This is exactly the kind of thing I’ve been looking for recently omg! Thank you!

[@colorfulhag5144]

17:07 they are also absolutely delicious! They’re called lemon clovers for a reason.

[@tyson7687]

This was an amazing watch!!! I loved everything. Total star of the show is the yorkie.

[@kellhalla5301]

I love the combination of energy's you both bring to the craft. I am always excited when I see a video with both of you. I've been witching since I was 12....some 36 years now. I had a BOS that was destroyed by some one when I was 27. I started a new one in 2013 and I then pulled it to pieces to create a junk journal style grimoire, so I love the content of this video and can not talk enough about the power of the style of these kind of grimoire's or BOS. The fact you can keep layering your practice as you grow is so powerful. There are some amazing junk journalist out there who make stunning books and teach us seasoned witches a thing or two 😉💫📖. Thank you for your amazing content. And for the sake of the Goddess more of this combo you two are a powerhouse 🙌🏻 Keep up the magic. ❤🕯💎🕊📖🦉🔮🧿🎨☕

[@FylaStarr]

Something about the energy when you two get together is so fun. Thank you for posting.

[@Joliada87]

I'm obsessed with this video lol I love watching you two together. Your authentic friendship shines through and you compliment each other so much. I took away a LOT of inspiration from this. I'm an art witch and love junk journaling everything haha All of the other "crafty" tips to get creative with your craft was so helpful! Thank you both 🤗

[@bleu.honey88]

Please do more videos with marshal. I love him so much! I love that he's so knowledgeable, creative, and clearly passionate about his craft. Its clear he's a natural teacher ❤

[@TheWitchOfEnchantment]

What a lovely refreshing video. I enjoy you both so much ❤️

[@pluckysongs]

I loved listening to this while working on my junk journal style book of shadows! I want to just sit and work on my books with you both all the time.

[@lindasmithers9994]

I'm so happy to see this Collaboration. 2 great witches. "A boatload" of new ideas. Thank you both so much.

[@andromeda1515]

31:05 i did a similar thing with a spell candle. It was meant for sleep and it works fine but I also use it as like an environment energy shifter type thing. I just light it when I need up light upliftingness. Its like a warm energetic hug, its great for anti anxiety

[@aislinncase4773]

PLEASE, PLEASE DO A GRIMOIRE / BOOK OF SHADOWS SERIES!!! This is one of my absolute favorite topics and I can never find enough information/inspiration!

[@thedeepminded1]

The ability to improvise is a gift in my opinion and comes with age & practice. Fresh plant material is my preference as well. Loved this vid we always have something to learn and to stay reachable and teachable is a must for all practitioners. I am definitely subscribing now :)

[@ceresuziel5089]

Impossible not to hear Shreck's voice saying ''magick is about layers''

[@colorfulhag5144]

18:21 you can also use ground shedded lizard skin for speed.

[@HighAsHeckPriestess]

I bought a standard composition book for a very specific working in progress. Basically it's all the things that normally go in a grimoire (spell ingredients, tarot, blasé) but also notes for the mundane stuff relevant to it (budgeting for the week, appointments, memos for daily activities). The magic isn't in the spell itself but the book. It works as long as I use it as a planner first and foremost, with magical notes in the margins I don't use the sky for spells much. Obviously major transits and lunar phases, if I have time, I will. But I craft my spells to work as long as they're near me (light and easy to carry, usually foot track dust or perfume oil) because I'm always moving around

[@HighAsHeckPriestess]

Update: I'm not homeless anymore. I decided to move my grimoire to my old trusty dusty trapper keeper. Plenty of room in there.

[@BreathingMagic]

Awesome video! Love the concept of layering.😃❤️🦄 The way Marshall uses words is so beautiful and poetic! If he ever publishes a poem collection or something of that nature, I'd totally buy it. Might even be inspired to draw some illustrations. 🎨

[@mustardpotatoes]

Oh my goodness I love him! The permission he grants with each topic they discuss is so comforting as a baby witch

[@GramaSagefeather]

Love you and Marshall sharing together. You have given such a rich collection of useful andcreative information. Love the nature based information and poetry offerings. I feel like I've drunk at the spring rain of blessings.

[@anaackerman1377]

This was so awesome to watch, really inspiring and encouraging for me as I'm just learning about witchcraft, thank you both for sharing❤

[@katiel3264]

I LOVED this video! Great vibes and lokv the crafts, I actually journaled for the first time in MONTHS while watching!

[@jenniferpoitras9473]

I totally love the collaborations with Marshall. He has such a great inner knowledge and so creative with how he incorporates things. Thank you for doing these and I want more! Lol

[@elmar_kritzinger]

Everything Marshall said about the Cicadas is so beautiful!

[@jast.1613]

Listening to you two bounce ideas & experiences with each other is so amazing, informative & inspiring. Cicadas are one of my favorite songs of summer. It's a connection sound for me. Marshall, your puppies are ADORABLE. Love y'all's energy together!!!

[@JaviManuel-qo4kd]

OBSESSED with this video, you guys are so perfect together! Thank you!

[@Domo716]

Love seeing you and the witch of Southern Light together. This video was SO inspiring ❤ Blessed be 🎃

[@roseyherber]

Thank you both so much for this wonderful video. I love all of your videos Olivia, you capture such a beautiful view of the world, and it always brightens my spirit. Marshall, the way you have crafted your praxis (new word for me, love the meaning!) is just inspiring, and I love how openly you discuss how you created it around your land and your beliefs, with little bits taken from here and there. This whole video really spoke to me and I feel like I've had one of those veil lifting moments where suddenly I can see more. Plus the inspiration for the grimoire/junk journal has been awesome, I have been feeling a little stuck with mine, and this has just filled up my creativity bank. I'm on my second watch through, I'm making inks from flowers and herbs in my garden, I'm sticking things in my journal to cover over bits I didn't like and using all of the washi tape I've collected over time. I'm having SO much fun. Love to you both ✨💚

[@pixiedustthemakerofmagic2339]

This gets my creative juices flowing!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@shickeyhils]

This was freaking awesome!!!❤

[@sandyflores2656]

I love it when my interests cross paths. Junk journaling is something I love to do. Watching this just gave me the idea of using my coffee dyed paper for petitions. I don't know why it never occurred to me before that the coffee would add an extra oomph!

[@leslycruz5247]

Looooveeeee how Marshall explained the cicadas! Moving from place to place forces me to adapt to the spirits of the new lands, and the first time I heard them, they gave me the chills! Soooo much wisdom!!!

[@robertdurrant]

Coming back and watching this after having devoured and LOVING Marshall's book is SO cool to see. Being able to read the stories that inform a lot of his anecdotes here was amazing!

[@judy8593]

Love! Love! Love this! I loved everything about this video. Thank you.

[@sophiadaswaldmaedchen]

This conversation was so wonderful! I loved how you always came back to point of what magic really is - intention, giving small things a personal meaning any connecting with nature that is around you. Thank you for uploading this, it was so inspiring and calming to watch.

[@marys4863]

Thank you for sharing your visit, I feel I learned so much. Because sometimes it does feel like work.

[@ossaobscura]

My mind is blown! So many amazing ideas that I will definitely be using. Thank you both for sharing.

[@DaveMiller2]

I had to stop the video to comment on how educational and informative this video is. I'll have to watch it more than once because there is so much in it. Well done Olivia and Marshall. My only complaint is that the video has made me think about so many things my mind is swimming in ideas.

[@HomesteadHomie_]

I Would love to hear more about how you use animal bones in your practice!! The mention of roadkill collecting is so interesting and I would love to hear your take on it!!

[@jinxminx55]

so cool, the crossroads nails. I have a photo in my instagram of a telephone pole with tons of nails and staples in it - it's spellwork, really. people are putting up those signs with hopes that what is lost will be found or that someone will contact them to do a job. love that.

[@KeelyTheHeretic]

This was definitely one of my favorite videos of your's ❤️ The two of you gave me tons of the inspiration I've needed.

[@erinblu8551]

This collaboration is such a salve to my heart and I hope you guys do more!

[@Seoyull38]

This is such a cute and sweet friendship! 🥰🥰 Makes my heart warm

[@MadameAskenDunn]

Hi Olivia, I only watch you sporadically, but I found this video especially helpful! And not for the craftiness, which was fun, but for the discussion of advanced witches vs beginners. It was an aha! moment for me and gave me a goal of how to learn to think! It will help me a lot. Thank you! and it was fun watching you and Marshall together.

[@goth00000]

You two are amazing. Its great to learn new things on the craft, sometimes from different perspectives. Thank you both 💜💜

[@dash12cam]

Such a rich and organic conversation, thank you I learned a bunch

[@trippyhippyart]

This is one of my all time fav witchy videos. More with marshall plz !!! Love a crafty cunning witch ♡

[@Danibug727]

Your Song of the Cicada gave me chills... I don't know why but it just felt so right.

[@bellammmp]

Oh my goodness I fell in love with you both immediately!! Loved the video and all the awesome tips. Subscribed and now must binge!

[@_Moonlight92]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

[@saltyaphrodite]

Just wanted to say the aesthetic of your videos is always spot on.

[@phoenixmode6909]

Some of the background music you've been using lately is absolutely awesome. I adore the particular track you used on this one! Late '30s and '40s big band and swing are some of my favorites....this one sounds like something from the early '40s. 🥰

[@rickylu7200]

Most excellent, bravo and we want more with you two!

[@msmeowdetroit]

You two are adorable! Marshall has the most warm, beautiful smile. You brought me joy today. Thank you.

[@kayceejay1488]

Love you both!! Great video and great vibes!

[@SeleneFR]

Loved this. Marshall, you are such a refreshing voice 💜

[@PantheraTheFeralwoodWitch]

You both are so wonderfully creative in your practices, its really inspiring to see you both bouncing off eachother and to get ideas for my own practice!! Thank you both so much for this!!

[@maplegrove7]

Love seeing youtubers getting together to hang out seeing the sights of the area their visiting and doing crafty stuff. Really Enjoyed this video as always.

[@carmaterra2275]

Love you both so much my craft has blossomed far more because of both of you mostly in small ways ... the excitement or when I need more excitement about a topic because i want to do x y c I've often gone to your socials to bring myself back a bit . Sometimes.. to Focus myself because there's so much out there... my adhd has a love / hate relationship w the amount of witchy content out on the internet .

[@HuntRyan1989]

I never comment on videos but just had to say I SUPER enjoyed this. I really hope you both do more. Also, there is a different video you created with Marshall wherein he explained how he came across his first witchy book. It really resonated with me because I had the same experience with the exact same book. I lost the book years ago and couldn’t remember the title or author. So, with Marshall telling his story, I realised it was the same book and will be ordering it today. It gave me such strong feelings of nostalgia and reaffirmed how much of a mystery the craft is and how drawn I am to it. Thank you x

[@finasworld9056]

I have no words for how much I loved this video..... Thank you for making this video..... xoxo

[@Mikksterx]

Your videos with Marshall are some of my favorite. The content comes with so much knowledge. The passion behind your practice is relatable and easy to understand. I'm always inspired by your conversations. Thanks for making and sharing these videos.

[@veronica.theswamphag]

I always absolutely love listening to the two of you talk, just wish I could teleport to hang with you 😇

[@joonaysan]

YAS! Such a great video, thank you! ♥Please more of this. I love love love it when art meets witchcraft and vice versa! Also, Marshall is such an adorable and down to earth person.

[@marelisaromero4986]

I love this! Fantastic ideas and so informative!

[@Sconnie13]

i just recently created a craft journal about me. What I believe, my craft, my thoughts. I event put in different routines that I like to do from all walks of life. It's something that I hope to pass down to my daughter when I'm at the end of my time so she would understand who I am. It's also to help me remember who I am as well or if my believes or routines change...again.

[@gailfairweather1515]

I really like this video about substituting things and using what you have.

[@coopermcshane9308]

Another tip for coffin nails - If all you can get your hands on are nails that COULD be used on coffins but have not yet been, an alternative would be to keep a jar of graveyard dirt and let the nails soak in the dirt for certain period of time (use your own methodology to determine how long). Another method is to use graveyard dirt to grow certain herbs/flowers/plants (extra mojo in them that way too, but use discernment) and simply press the nails into the dirt being used, and retrieve them after a certain amount of time. Hope that was handy for some of you.

[@jennivee3887]

I love you both! What an awesome collaboration! ❤️

[@PinkieJoJo]

I love this. I’m not a very crafty person so I’m finding it hard to really do much yet with my practice other than reading, watching videos, and writing my thoughts down. I’m one of those people that cannot even drawn a stick figure very well.

[@Phoenix02531]

Very much needed to hear the thing about narrative magic. I'm all about stories and this is getting remembered!

[@amberjstaples]

I've had multiple cicadas emerge in my yard this year. It's so magical watching them hatch and transform and then hearing them sing later on. It's a great grounding sound for me to focus on.

[@paperstorycraft]

As a Floridian, I always say if I hear Cicadas it’s going to be hot. Haven’t hear them lately so you can tell the wheel is turning. Listening to you too makes me want to go out to the swamp like I use too.

[@SirtenlySurprized]

This was an incredible video, thanks so much to both of you 🖤🖤🖤

[@MargaretMajerowski]

Love seeing this!!! My grimoires have usually been junk journals ❤️❤️❤️

[@HennaHuu]

Absolutely loved this, and all the nice little tips to carry with me and make my own. :)

[@occultmama]

I’m seriously loving this guys! I started my Grimoire and I know to start I was worried about getting it perfect, but I feel relieved that it doesn’t have to be! 🙏 Thank you so much for your cunning ideas

[@idunablack2592]

I have a junk binder xD I love it! It's so fun to craft pages and I can rearrange them however I want hehe

[@jenniferschildt6635]

It’s finally raining here in PA, so I had time to relax and savor this video. I had plans to head out for some thrifting, but now I’m inspired to play with some collage pages. Interesting to hear how you each do your “brain dumps.” Mine is more like yours- scribblings on legal pads. Thank you both for sharing!

[@felinamaes9201]

Can you do a video on where you get the pieces in your lovely wardrobe? Im just in love with your aesthetic. You always look so classy, fresh and mysterious. 🖤🖤🖤

[@MelissaZ3]

I feel so seen I write all my signs and insights into my notes app 🤩 one day I will have it in a physical form. I enjoyed this video and learned new things to adapt into my practice. Thank you 🙏☺️
