You're really SPOILING us with the amount of witchy videos at the moment, Kelly-Ann, and I'd like to say THANK YOU. Your video uploads always make my day. I was a patron and will be again; just juggling funds, and so I'm grateful for all this content you share for free on KZbin. Means a great deal. Totally awesome. ❤

@@pollyrussell4762 🥹🥹🥹🥹 Thanks doll, glad you appreciate the effort x

[@lunawinter2606]

Thank you for talking about red flags when people don’t ask you questions. This is something I’ve really been noticing lately. I wasn’t sure if I was just being sensitive or selfish. Your video is a great affirmation that I need to trust my instincts.

[@theVonnieness]

Writing yourself an encouraging letter for confidence really hit the spot for me. Ive been meaning to have a heavy "talk" with myself and thought writing would do best. This confirms it. Thank you for all the tips!

[@Grimalkins]

I’m one of those people who gets emotionally dumped on. These days I try to hesitate and really ask myself “what would happen if I asked this person for help in a time of real need? What would they say if I asked them to hold space for me in the way they always expect me to do for them?” The answers have frequently been heartbreaking, but it’s a tough life lesson I needed to learn. I’m chronically ill and I do not owe these people a massive sacrifice of energy in a way that is detrimental to my fragile health when they are outraged at the expectation that maybe it should be a two-way street. Being a doormat doesn’t call love or loyalty to me. It doesn’t result in me being valued, it just repeats trauma that I claim to have moved on from. As for a talisman, I have a sigil tattooed on my hand that represents my grandfather’s love for me. That man loved me unconditionally and had my back, no matter what. He loved me the way I should love myself, and to honour his memory I need to learn to love myself that way. Whatever I reach for, I see it, and feel his love. Massive instant confidence boost. I visibly grow a couple of inches whenever I see it.

[@kelly-annmaddox]

I'm sorry you've had the experience of realising that some people wouldn't be there for you. A few of the closer 'friends' that I put so much time, energy and love into were fucking useless to me when my brother died. They treated me like I had leprosy. They couldn't handle it, and honestly I am glad I found out. It makes you very clear-headed about where you're putting your attention. ❤ Your grandad sounds like a legend. I'm so glad you had the experience of being loved by such a wonderful human being. X

[@Grimalkins]

@ Yes, I have had similar experiences. I walked away from a twenty year one way friendship last year. I suddenly got the courage in the middle of a night out with her, and just got up and walked away. I must have looked like I’d lost my mind. It was strange but fabulous, and a sense of lightness and healing started almost instantly when I allowed myself to stop wanting her to be a better person than she is. As for my Pop, he was my human. I am still grieving, but slowly I am realising that my heart is still full of him, and I carry him around with me, fortifying me. I miss him so much it tears me to shreds, but also - how incredible a thing it is to be loved and understood, even if it is just by one family member, he more than made up for it.

[@JaytheBee]

Not me doing a tarot reading for myself this morning about a friendship/friend group that's not how I like it to be and then you uploading this! Are you spying on me Ms Maddox?? 👀

I haven’t even finished watching this yet, but I’m pretty sure this video is exactly what I was just needing! The synchronicities your channel gives me! I love you so much thank you for all that you give us!

🥹💖😍 Thank you!! this made me smile 😊

[@antwanzhane_mawayd]

interesting... as someone who is autistic,, I've just sorta threw in the rag on socializing and having friends - never really considered magick tho _surprisingly_

[@kelly-annmaddox]

Ahh there are many things we don't think of magick to help us with. ❤ People with autism should have friends. It makes me sad that neurodivergent people struggle. It needs to be more understood. My bestie has autism and he is literally the most incredible human being, and so are you, darling. ❤

*badger enters the chat* someone mention my name? 🫡🤭🦡 ​@kelly-annmaddox

[@ventusheart5733]

I always urge people to not be afraid to invoke/evoke concepts, ideas and certains styles/atmosphere as you mention for Freddy Mercury and Punk. They are dynamics that are shared by so many people, their egregores are constanty fed and i'm sure some ancestors still represent those ideas in other plans. By calling them, we keep the spirit alive.

[@joeyclay2445]

I think it's funny you mention that you invoke Freddie Mercury, because when I need some power, confidence, or self-assurance, I always think "what would Kelly-Ann do/say?", and in a way I'm tapping into that wonderful energy. I don't mean to put any pressure on you with that, because obviously nobody's perfect in how they handle things like performing and speaking (Freddie Mercury included haha), but that's definitely something I say to help myself handle a challenging/unpleasent situation that's connected to public speaking or defending myself, or standing up for what's right.

[@activistwitch]

I never thought about defining .y green and red flags before but this has definitely made me want to pick up my journal and define stuff! I love that you get into Freddie Mercury energy before Spalding in public! I've dedicated / enchanted a necklace to Venus / Aphrodite Nd when I wear it I literally ask her to "give me the gift of the gab" and honestly, looking back at my teens and 20s wher ei was afraid ilof being noticed and how now I just take any chance there's definitely been growth there. I am watching this video and taking down notes!!! Thank you so so so much Kelly Ann!!! Edit: honestly I remember at the beginning of my practice wanting to follow everything step by step from a book and then the more I got I to it the more I realised when I make a ritual / spell from scratch those are the ones that work best because they are made beginning to end by me for me. I understand especially beginners wanting to follow a hard technique given to them but truly: trust yourself!!! Yay #witchesforpalestine !!! 🙌🏽❤

[@dontnoable]

This video is really wonderful. Friendship break ups have really taken it out of me and I've turned hermit to a big extent for sure. This video reminds me that there are other possibilities! Also Freddie 👊

[@Amber_Aquarius]

Wow 🙌🏾 I must be in alignment. I was just thinking about this topic yesterday and here’s your video. 🥳

[@kelly-annmaddox]

Perfect! I love it when I make a video at the exact right time for someone. ❤

[@tinkabell1400]

​@@kelly-annmaddoxHi Miss Kelly ❤I'm afraid my ADHD and autism makes me over share and emotional trauma dumping or so I'm told I really don't mean to I'm sorry for being that way so now for the past few years I've just been a hermit and don't talk to anyone now anyhow I hope you're ok if you ever wanna talk I'm here ok I've journaled screamed crying 😭 Punch things when I'm angry cry when I get flashbacks of childhood trauma trigger warning I was SA R worded and abuse mentally emotionally physically beating since infancy toddler Hood early childhood pre early mid teens and even in adulthood by family members elementary and middle school peers and exes sorry that's why I don't connect with anyone anymore and instead I tend to just hermit but if you need to chat about your issues I'm here ok dearie I ❤u 😊

[@songbirdstargazercrone3256]

Thank you for that love language. Calling out colonization and war criminals is the only thing that keeps me healing. The other part of my love language is wanting everyone to have safe spaces for their continued healing while trying not to feel buried in societal judgment all day long. You’ve made so many good suggestions for people to take their first steps for diving into their own psyche and roots if they dare 💕✨💖

[@janusofthiswitchscorner727]

Loved the evocation part! My "spirit animal" is Cher. Specifically Cher in Love Hurts. That's my confidence evocation moment. ❤

[@pollyrussell4762]

She's my anima anyway. Axl Rose is my animus....for better and worse!😅

[@mccreewilliams7480]

Yes! I love writing sigils on my body. I usually draw them where I can casually touch them (over my clothes) naturally. I've drawn one on my hip bone before a party with a lot of people I didn't know and if I put my hands on my hips, I could "feel" it. Or for a job interview I drew one on my lower arm. I was seated and had one arm over the other in my lap to feel the sigil. I also incorporated my jewelry box into my alter space, I don't have a lot. That way I can charge up a necklace when I need power or protection, it's my favorite!

[@Grey_Chaote]

I'm an ex-bartender with autism and ADHD, I have a very difficult time socializing with new people especially if the conversations are "surface level ". However, I am also one of those people that everybody tends to come to, as you mentioned, for advice and healing. (Whether it is conscious or not.) When it comes to starting conversations with new people, something I learned in my bartending days, is to ask them about themselves. One trick I came to understand, is that everybody likes to talk about themselves. It also gives me an ability to find something to relate to so that I could perhaps maintain conversation with that person. If they start going "too deep too fast" and begin over explaining or making me feel like we are in a therapy session, I have set up "cues" with my partner for them to recognize, for example itching my nose a little bit more often, or if I start swaying back-and-forth, they know to come "save me ". I know not everybody has somebody they could do that with, and that sense that's when I would pull up my phone and act like I had to call my daughter really quick and excuse myself but tell them that I enjoyed our conversation very much and would love to perhaps continue sometime, that way they don't feel to dismissed. ❤

[@Grey_Chaote]

As well, I really enjoyed your "invocation "suggestion (sorry if I misspelled that 😂) I definitely might utilize it next time I'm social

[@sweetbbyrage]

[@nataliasegal8674]

Feeling exhausted after socializing sounds so familiar to me and having to eat too much food and have tons of rest! Yes! I feel like it's because I need a protection shield of some sort around me and also just the simple fact of having to set and enforce boundaries with people better.

[@nataliasegal8674]

Also, evoking the energy of Siouxsie is next level goth.

[@nataliasegal8674]

Also, worth saying that some people seem super loving at first and it's actually a red flag when people tell me how much they love me when they don't know me because it seems like they have poor boundaries or they're trying to tell me what I want to hear to get something from me. I think it's really a matter of discernment like you say though, because some people really are loving by nature towards people in their communities and not trying to use the L word to manipulate me or others. :) I guess it depends, but I guess it's more if I just met someone or started talking to someone out in the wild and they obviously don't know me at all and we're not part of the same crowd, then it's a good idea to be careful. I am only saying this because a lot of witchy and new age folks seem to have poor boundaries where I live at least...like everyone in that group overshares and people use others often and it's just super toxic, with lots of toxic positivity....kind of like: "I love you so much, but like OMG don't talk about your dead grandma because it's bad vibes haha!"

You know, this is some real $#!+. It’s great advice for a man. I know this because I have literally done some of these things (or similar). I wear my Thor’s Hammer for confidence - even at work! You rock, Kelly. I’m glad Seraphina Nightingale on KZbin told me about you back in the days when she was Midwest Witch. What a great video right here - it’s like unwrapping an early Yule gift - and it will be the gift that keeps on giving because I’ve learned a lot and have this bounty of stuff to try that I haven’t tried before! It feels like you’re talking to many women as your target audience - but as a straight guy with some awesome heathenistic values, I really feel more confident when I watch you vids - totally awesome & much respect from USA 🤘

[@kelly-annmaddox]

Yessss, Thor's hammer for confidence. 💕 I am delighted to have men in my audience. I want my work to be accessible to all regardless of gender, so it means a lot when I see that it works for different people. In my book, 'Witch in Darkness', I instructed the illustrator to draw a man with tats and a beard because I wanted to nod to the many men in my audience and make them feel included in my message. 😏☺️
