What Witch Am I?: Different Witchcraft Paths | Embracing Magick Podcast #4

[@AmandaJuneHagarty]

As a gardener I would like to inform you that gardening is primarily about setting intentions, experimenting, failing and trying again. For example you could set an intention in the spring to try to set up a pleasant space to enjoy and work on your skill of growing strawberries. And then you do whatever you need to do to set up the space, try a few types of strawberries in a few different places in your yard, to try different locations or sun exposure and trying out different fertilizers, etc. and then at the end of the year take a look at the progress you made as well as what worked and what didn't. So when you say you are a bad gardener that's not necessarily the case if you mean your plants don't thrive or produce a big harvest.maybe your tomatoes weren't all that productive, but you really figured out those strawberries and made a nice green space to sit in and relax, so you nailed it. Gardening is doing. Gardening is failing. Gardening is brushing the dirt off and doing again.

[@EmbracingMagick]

That is such a beautiful way at looking at it, thank you so much for sharing xxx

[@NicoleACottageWitch]

This was fun. I tend to use cottage witch to encompass gardening, foraging, herbalism, cooking, crafting, and all sorts of things around my home. Lately, though, I’ve been doing a lot of journeying/hedgeriding and that’s been quite the adventure.

[@EmbracingMagick]

Awww love this! ♥️

[@antoniaa.7228]

Hi! I would say hearth witchcraft is not exactly kitchen witchcraft (even though they can very well be overlapped). People can be home oriented but not well into cooking. I would describe hearth witchcraft also as creating comforting spaces by mystifying domestic chores, working with decor, building ambiance, even dabbling in feng shui. A little bit like creating a sense of sanctuary (building home) wherever you are (maybe even on the go). Greetings!

[@EmbracingMagick]

Ooooh yes, love this!! xx

[@alisonnields6200]

Oh wow yes Ancestral Witch! I never really knew what to call it until now. Learning about my ancestors and feeling a sense of connection with them has always been a huge part of my life. Wow that completely opened my eyes! Thank you and many blessings 💜

[@EmbracingMagick]

Aww that’s amazing Alison! Thank you so much xxxx

[@GinaMichelle33rpm]

What wonderful conversation. I am an Ancestral Witch with a big lean to Green. How thankful I am to my Ancestors to have led me to your podcast! I look forward to future productions!

[@EmbracingMagick]

Ah amazing! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰

[@MagicallyUnexpectedwithClare]

What an amazing conversation, Thank you. I don’t know what type of Witch I am? I suppose I’m a Craft Witch as sewing, knitting, crochet, & more is my super power so that might be a new type of Witch. I’m learning a lot about plants and trying to look after my garden so a bit of Green Witch in there too. But I also like the idea of being a Earth Witch, being the guardian of my little piece of the earth, or trying too, working full time doesn’t give you enough time to do all the things I feel called to do. Thanks again

[@EmbracingMagick]

Awwww we love the idea of an Earth Witch too ♥️♥️

[@iluvlaughinghard]

Yes craft witch ! Spinning like a spider 😍

[@carmenmonroe7]

Scorpio is fiery as well as water. The ancient ruler is Mars...so it is fiery. Like Aquarius is an air sign, but is also the water bearer, so it's got a watery essence to it. The Band is "Earth, Wind and Fire", and awesome group!

[@EmbracingMagick]

Oooohh yess! Love this Carmen! I'm more fiery than I thought haha 😉

Ahhh yes, we will certainly put it on our list! Thank you ♥️♥️

[@dylanmagoiofthethalasso4032]

This is my first episode/ video I have seen from you! I'm excited to see what's coming up in your future! I absolutely can NOT stand "Baby Witch"!!! UGH!!! There's a part of me that doesn't want to be on YT or the internet because I have a fear of accidentally spreading misinformation because I HATE misinformation. I have been working on reclaiming the word "prayer" too. Christians don't own the word "prayer". I'm glad that there's a sun witch in the group. I use the sun more than the moon. I think the sun is CRIMINALLY underrated. I also think the moon is overrated...take my witch card 😂🤣😂🤣 I have never felt like spirit was an element. I say that I'm an eclectic witch, I incorporate the sun, rain/storms, art; drawing; painting, crystals, moon, planets, very rarely I use plants.

[@sunblest]

Thank you, I've spent a long time working out why I am the way I am and this helped me finally work it out after being around lots of different ideas/people that didn't really "fit" who I am until now.

[@EmbracingMagick]

Ah wow that's amazing!! ❤

[@brereton_]

thoroughly enjoyed this

[@EmbracingMagick]

Thank you 🙌🏼

[@annag9873]

I haven't finished any of your podcasts but I'm enjoying the conversations. I really hope this is just the beginning. Please don't give up after a few episodes 😢 A little advice about growing plants, Start small with hard to kill plants. Last years I finally grew a tomato plant but only got maybe 10 small cherry tomatoes. This year's I'm acting like I'm an expert in container gardening. I have 2 tomatoes, 2 sweet peppers and a few herbs.

[@EmbracingMagick]

Hi Anna, This is just the beginning, don't worry! We don't plan to stop anytime soon! Thanks for the growing tips ❤

Thanks Veronica ❤

[@tammyflores7510]

As a new witch I always felt I needed to find my specific title or label that my practice fit in I guess as a form of self validation. Through the years I have just become comfortable with witch. I love the thought of reclaiming the word witch . However there have been times where I have been ask to describe my personal practice and I think for me I’m most comfortable with a traditional liminal witch

[@EmbracingMagick]

Yes, it is such a powerful reclaim! 🖤

[@charleekimball6551]

I finally got time to catch up on your videos. This has been one of my favorites. I'm Scorpio Rising, Cancer Moon and Sun. Loved this

[@fairyforests]

Love your podcast. I have been through a lot of phases in my witchcraft journey. I started as a wiccan as a preteen, I've labeled myself as a kitchen witch, lunar witch, green witch, hedge witch, shadow witch. I'm diving deeper into dream magic, I'm ♋ sun , moon ♋, and rising Scorpio. Wiccans do dive deep into nature and the elements. I've not heard of hedge row(American sorry) or lial witchcraft before.

[@EmbracingMagick]

Ahhh amazing!! I am really interested in dream magick too! I am ♋️ sun and ♏️ moon xxxx

[@katebarker1983]

I absolutely love this channel!❤ Thank you! I am a solitary elemental witch.

Loving the podcast. Yall seem very approachable and sweet. Very informative, refreshing, and funny!

[@EmbracingMagick]

Aww thanks Teena! ♥

[@scorpion_witch]

Omg! Im dying 🤣🤣🤣 I originally thought hedge witchcraft had to do with actual hedges too! Cheers! 😅

[@EmbracingMagick]

hahaha! I'm glad I'm not the only one!! 🤣

[@Occultwithjo]

My gosh just got to Toni talking about sleep paralysis and the spiders.. for 20 years I was plagued with it.. only started to lessen after a mushroom ceremony

[@steph5630]

Chaos magic, hoodoo, voodoo, spirit work. There's just so much out there! It was foretold to me that I had the potential to be a hedge witch (I also thought it meant literal hedge for ages). I think most people are eclectic and every practice is unique. Folk magic is very cool, there's also folk catholicism (ChaoticWitchAunt on KZbin did a fantastic video covering it which I found really interesting!)

[@EmbracingMagick]

That’s very interesting!! will deffo check that out, I think that would probably be quite relevant to my ancestry! Thank you for sharing xxx

[@jenniferleftwich7]

What's a fascinating conversation I love this, so I am just entering my Eclectic pagan journey, solitary practitioner. with a little southern folk magic, in the mountains of North Carolina in the US, small town , it's known as the" Bible belt ". My ancestors are Celtic British and German, and elements that I love to work with is fire one of my favorite elements to work with, even though I'm a water sign

[@EmbracingMagick]

Amazing!! ❤️ I enjoy a bit of fire too, also a water sign! Xx

[@AmandaJuneHagarty]

I'm a Celtic inspired witchy pagan nowadays. And I don't mean Irish when I say Celtic. I just men general Celtic, like some of my work delves into the beliefs of the Gauls and some from the British Isles. I only recently discovered I am 1/4 Ukrainian and so I've actually been exploring Scythian beliefs. And I just have a real passion for anything mesolithic and copper age that I can learn about and connect to my practice. I get what your saying about Wicca because I have left it behind myself. But most of us, at least me and my fellow Gen Xers, probably started as Wiccan. And in fact, more modern practices could even be said to have started with Wicca even though they aren't Wicca, because the growth of Wicca has led to where we are today. So I think I have a certain respect for Wicca in a kind of "ancestral" way, just like I respect ancient Celtic practices. Wicca can be looked at a modern foundation for the newer modern Witches and Pagans. The basic tenet that should be consistent throughout our every style or flavor we have in our practice, is that we don't tell each other people how to Witch and we respect our differences. Everything else is really just window dressing. Or the way we choose to connect with the universe.

[@EmbracingMagick]

Absolutely! Every practise is different and it’s a very personal journey! I started off with Wicca too and moved away from it as well - we are constantly learning and evolving and that’s the beauty of it all 🖤

[@slatergrey7682]

From an Elemental/Enegry witch to the Solar witch in our coven. Fire will always flicker for you, but try water/prisms you'd be surpised how it changes and charges the solar energy.

@@EmbracingMagick yayayaya 😍

[@LavenderHazelwood]

Yes, I hate the phrase 'baby witch'. It feels so menial. It's apologetic and witchcraft is about harnessing your own skills and power and using them well. It just doesn't add up energetically.

[@EmbracingMagick]

Yesssss, you’re so right!!

[@RubyRouge-zj8uw]

If I were to start leaning towards any witchery type, it would likely be a greener, environmental-based variety because it would align best with my interests, values, and passions personally and professionally (while I also make sure I don't fall down any rabbit holes of pseudoscience or cultural appropriation).💚I was raised to be a skeptic and I'm curious by nature, so I do wonder about what, how, and why people practice elements like astrology, divination, crystal work, tarot, and more.

[@EmbracingMagick]

Ah amazing, we love a green witch! 🌿

[@kimberlywilliams8887]

Would you be willing to discuss more of what a word witch is? I am excited to learn more about what that means/looks like in practice. It was mentioned at 10:08 briefly but not really expanded on later. I appreciate this podcast so much!

[@mariansmith7694]

I'm a solitary green witch.

[@EmbracingMagick]

🥰♥️

[@caitgallegos7285]

I get the occasional sleep paralysis episode (I'm strange in that I find it fascinating while it's happening because I'm usually aware of it and still get all the hallmarks of it) and can't stand lucid dreaming. Mostly because I'd much rather see where my brain goes. My dreams are more fun that way 😊 I've never thought of it, but maybe I'll explore more hedgecraft considering how intense my dreaming life is

[@cathyhaupt8027]

I listened, but didn't watch the first two episodes that came up for me. I imagined Steph as black, and Toni as older, Lizzy looks somewhat how I imagined her only in my mind she was blond. I'm just saying it because if you believe in past lives then it might have some significance to you. I really enjoy listening to the three of you, and I like the format and the pace.

[@EmbracingMagick]

Haha how interesting!! I have looked into past lives before, find it super fascinating! Aww thank you, glad you like it! xx

[@iluvlaughinghard]

I'm herthe witch for sure and I think think I'm much more an intuative healing witch , know exactly what someone needs to hear or what they need to express , giving them space to find a part of themselves too much fixed ritual is too stifling for me or stressful with all the different steps wish I could go to and be part of a convern but I'm mostly housebound which is heart breaking 😢

Hii, I'm an Icelandic witch and I would love to connect with you guys, I'm a year into my practise and I'm taking it quite slowly but I love the history of witchcraft and especially history of Icelandic witches, and I hold my ancestral line very close to me because I feel so connected with them when I practise witchcraft

[@EmbracingMagick]

Aww amazing! Are there any books you can recommend any books on Icelandic witchcraft?

Hello beautiful Ladies 🌹, I never enjoyed labels. If you're a Witch, that's it, thar's deep and enough ✨. Where you want to dive all in can even change during your lifetime, as all things in life, that's completely normal 🦋. For example, you can be in to some aspects on you 20's (green witch e.g.) and in your 40's feeling yourself much more a hearth witch. Everything is ever changing, don't stick to labels, dive deep in your craft and what resonates. Be true to yourself and the craft and don't bother what others say/think. Love this podcast so rich, funny and free 🍀🌞🌛, take care beautiful ladies ✨🔥🍀🦋✨🙏🏼💖🌹🍁🧙🏼‍♀️

[@EmbracingMagick]

Oh we absolutely agree, It's completely totally fine not to label yourself, be free and call yourself whatever you want, or not at all. I think this was just a conversation around the types of witchcraft and perhaps what you might be drawn to and different parts of your life, I think we did address that this may change. Even in this episode, how we spoke about me being a Lunar Witch, I am deep in exploring my Ancestry at the moment and I feel a shift in my practise. Thank you lovely xx

[@ceciliap7197]

@@EmbracingMagickDear Steph 🍁, It's the rebel in me 😆🤣, (Moon in Aquarius 😆😜). Despite not enjoying labels, the conversation was as interesting as usual 😉, Amazing 🍁. It's so good that one allows oneself to be whatever one feels deep inside 💖🧙🏼‍♀️✨🙏🏼. It's being Daughter of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal (Freedom Day - 25th April), a revolution made with almost no shots fired, using Music as Coded messages and Carnations given to the soldiers to celebrate the end of dictatorship, finally Freedom 🌹.

I’m a Hedge Witch and I fell into it quite naturally. As a born Psychic Medium already, I was amazed that when I learned about Hedge Witchery/Hedge Riding & Divination I was like, I’ve already been doing all of this for most, if not all, of my life… so it was quite easy for me to fall into this practice bc I’ve already been doing it for YEARS. And I mean YEARS. It’s pretty cool to think that I was already a Witch without knowing that I was one. 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤

[@EmbracingMagick]

Oh awesome, that’s amazing!! 🖤🖤🖤✨✨✨

[@hannahsiktberg2173]

The hands is exactly right but also the observation of your body throughout the day the creative life helps with lucid dreaming I am a teacher and I lucid dream every night. Patricia Garfield who wrote creative dreaming has really resonated with me I think any witch should read it. I love this video and all the explanation of the many kinds of witches I also resonate with about three. 😊💫🪄🌝🙏

Thanks Hannah! My memory is awful, but I always remember snippets! Thank you so much for the book rec, I am deffo going to buy it! 🖤 Glad you liked the video, which three did you resonate with? xxx
