What is a "Mind Witch?" || Interview with Jessi Huntenburg

[@ScarletRavenswood]

What are your thoughts on the "mind witch" idea? Is there a particular witchcraft path that you follow?

[@jameslew2804]

Honestly? I don't subscribe to it. We worry way too much about this "What kind of Witch are you" stuff.

[@DjLatral]

I can really relate to her idea here. It gets so confusing trying to say "oh I am an eclectic solitary witch kind of, except I see deities as architypes to channell in a panthiestic world even though I mostly use magic as an internal optimization tool bla bla bla it gets so tiring I'd rather just say it's my own thing. Also all the connotations of saying either witch wizard warlock sorcerer or practitioner, it's all so tiring but I keep having to try in order to connect with like minded people. Is it a belief based practice I'm using or a religion...oh it's so much but I'm trying to do the research I really am

[@Liam-nf1dp]

It reminds me of this video I saw earlier today. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZbUcoGFf653ZqM If I have a particular path i guess i would be a Chaos Pagan, which seems very similar to the mind witch idea.

[@madisonb.3856]

I am a combination of a kitchen witch and a green witch🪴🫖

[@SpiritOfTwilight]

After I was introduced to the idea by Jessi on her channel, it all made sense to me. I consider myself eclectic between Buddhism and Mind Witch

[@damienhartley7298]

I am a witch period.

[@zoevd4072]

I feel like this chat was my permission slip to come out of the witch closet :) Thank you for the inspiring words and encouragement!

[@PixelKnight93]

Go for it! It was the best thing I've ever done and the most scary.

[@kaeladensford]

Philosophical witch here.

[@SunflowerSea234]

I'd love to know what you mean by that. I minored in philosophy in college.

[@switchjim]

This is correct idea. Shadow work improves self. conscious understanding of self. self is a real part of nature and the energy that is all ... the modern world for so many is online, and too is the real of the mechanism ... web or woods, the reality is in developing real perception of that universal love that permeates everything.

I loved when Jessi posted her Mind Witch video; it was the first video of hers I stumbled upon and I love that you two came together for these videos. The two of you are different and have different audiences, and I love that y'all are willing to share your thoughts, perspectives, and experiences, showing the common ground and beautiful differences between all of us. I believe the need to classify ourselves comes from trying to understand ourselves using the tools of our external world and also to find like minded individuals. Like Jessi, I don't quite fit any of the "usual" classifications and I've felt lost in the past because of it. It's like never having my name on a souvenir keychain. No one is trying to exclude those of us whos names aren't on the keychains, there's just such a variety in the world. Trying to find the people or place(s) your heart is longing for is difficult with the world as big as it is. As humans we try to make things as simple as possible by condensing and limiting the definitions we use, to our detriment. We have a bad habit of denying things we don't personally agree with, and then we become upset when someone tries to deny our own personal reasons/thought process/ideology. The greatest thing about yours and Jessi's videos is y'all are setting the example on how to have different opinions and thoughts without attacking each other or insisting that one way is "right" over the other. The only right or wrong we have to worry about is as simple as it gets: Are we acting out of Love? If the answer is Yes, then we're doing "it", Life, right, and if we answer No, we're doing it wrong. We are not acting out of Love when we judge another person for being different than ourselves. You two ladies are wonderful role models and are beautiful examples of acting with Love. ♥♥♥

[@ScarletRavenswood]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment!

[@carmenfischer7947]

❤💛💚🔥🧙‍♀️Love and light for You

[@aprilmatilda7743]

Finally, I'm able to identify with a witchcraft type!!! I love this!

[@SpiritOfTwilight]

I am screaming like a little girl!!!!! I love you both soooooo much!!!!!

[@KevinHinds-e4j]

Hi, thank you for sharing these profound concepts. My name is Kevin Hinds. I live in Kingston, the capital of the island of Jamaica. It has been my ardent desire for some time now to win the Super Lotto Jackpot here in my country. Thank you for any help you give me to this end. Hugs and kisses.

[@brandwhitlock6816]

Fascinating. Definitely food for thought. Thanks to you both for this video.

[@ScarletRavenswood]

Glad you liked it :)

[@marssinclair2644]

YES THIS IS HOW I FEEEEEL

[@aprilmatilda7743]

You two together are magickal

[@HighPriestessAngelique]

I personally enjoy ritual, spell work & holding circle with my sisters. I’m in my head enough, lol 😂 *Let me out* ❤️🥰❤️ 🔥 Blessed be 🔥

[@ScarletRavenswood]

Yes, I definitely miss doing spellwork & ritual with others. :)

[@HighPriestessAngelique]

@@ScarletRavenswood if I were there I’d be more than happy to join you under the moonlight for bonfire, wine & shenanigans. ❤️

[@waynewatts8736]

Thought, will manifesting! 🖖

[@mutedspace]

this video was so validating, thank you!

[@joysunday1749]

Thank you 👍😄♥️

[@annitendo]

I loved what Jessi said about that she's excited about how the craft evolves and changes, especially with new generations learning about the craft. And that reminded me, as a mind witch I wanted to know if she is familiar with "shifting". Gen Z kids on tiktok are talking about this kind of astral projection where they shift into alternate universes where their favourite TV shows/movies are real and they spend months in those worlds. There are a lot of videos here on youtube of teenagers reporting their experiences at Hogwarts for example. I am fascinated by this, it seems like those kids came up with it on their own. I would love your thoughts on this as a mind witch

[@heatherk569]

Fascinating to watch you two beautiful witches chat ♡♡

[@rustybrooke9459]

WoW! Scarlet what a beautifly awesome video! I'm very happy for both of you! I enjoyed every moment! I liked when Jessi was speaking about focus, perhaps channeling energy? , views on Deity, have you ever heard of soft and hard polytheism? Jessi's conversation about Chaos Magic (that I'd like to lean more about?) Your conversation concerning creators, innovators, and imitators. Jessi's involvement and experience with a single focus group, and a diverse group of people. Your and Jessi's conversation on transformation your experiences. I saw a video from the Witch of Wonderlust and the Green Witch. I really really like to see the socialization and conversations of happy like minded people, and it would be nice to see more of. Scarlet, you have been part of my Book of Shadow and are one of the originals, I also added Jessi Huntenburg about 3 month ago. Thank You both for the education. Rusty.

[@barbararivera2380]

I like what she says about how spells work. Thank you. Great interview. Jessi, with your coven, could you help manifest our country (USA) coming together politically? Thank you

[@guarddog318]

Witchcraft is first and foremost "of the mind". All the trappings that go along with it are really nothing more than points of focus. And once you learn enough, you don't even need those. ( Though they are still handy at times. ) In fact, I would say that all those trappings are probably more important to the people you might be doing work for, more than anything... sort of a way to get other minds involved with the process. By the way, I've been practicing for over 40 years, and can use most any technique or method anyone could speak of, with whatever tools are typical for that practice... but I can also do the same things without any object or ritual at all. One other thing: I don't work with "archetypes". My belief is that those deities, spirits, or whatever you'd care to call them are individuals. Maybe they are or were once real people who became something else, or maybe they were created or born just as they are. I don't know. But I always treat them as an individual, and a real person or personality. For instance, I see Hel as a one-of-a-kind person, not the Germanic equivalent of something from some other pantheon. And so far, that has gotten me further than doing otherwise ever did. I hope that makes sense. Also, I firmly believe there are rules or laws governing this stuff, and that people can't simply make it up as they go along, or worse yet, as they WANT it to be. I think it takes a lot of study, and a lot of trial and error to figure out what's needed to get things to work as desired. And that there has to be an understanding of what a person is doing, and WHY it either works or doesn't. ( Understanding at least as far as the process goes. ) It's like physics; you may not completely understand the laws of physics, but you still have to obey them in anything you do. The same is true for magic and witchcraft.

[@robyndismon394]

Yes you can make it up as u go along. I've done it enough times 2 know it 2 be a very palpable and powerful possibility. I would think that there are specific guidelines 2 help aid and direct ones focus but one size cannot and will not ever fit all. To me that's the beauty. What can I create if I try something entirely different? Have yet 2 be disappointed bcz I am always learning. My focus is 2 remain curious all the while respecting those who have come b4 me.

[@islandgirl8311]

Never this early

[@galadriel9127]

I was a minute bevore I google what an mind witch is😂🤔

[@Namratiug]

wut

[@grizzlyaddams3606]

Interesting how she's a, "mind witch" but still describes her spell work as a physical thing. "Like lighting a fire under..." Very female to be so attached. Things aren't really like that with my mind magic. Much more, well, lets say, best unsaid and unfelt. Extremely masculine.

[@alabaster2163]

Ok kids you do not need to pick just 1 path. You can have multiple or all or none. Make your own.. Dont get pigeon holed because it's on youtube. And pych doesn't mean mind it means something else. That should be first red flag. She doesn't even know what she is. 🙃

[@alexboyd1639]

You guys would run if you ever dealt with direct forces. Don't mean to be devil's advocate, get back to Christ. You are not even close to getting near the mark of proclaiming to be witches. Even a 7 yr.old can summon or perform divination as second nature. You perhaps need to find yourselves, for one thing if you match your energy comparatively you may not even be a flicker to someone else. Anyway if your good we will know...A mind witch can genuinely manifest without aid.

[@gabrielleangelica1977]

Yay, Christianity is so Pagan! 🗿
