Hello, Occultists! I am not answering any more questions at this time. (I am all tapped out from part 1 and part 2 of this wonderful Q&A session!) If you have additional questions, please feel free to leave them for my next Q&A in the future. 🖤
Ok just gotta say that as someone with the attention span of a 4 year old the fact that I can sit thru - even look forward to extended (honestly thats anything over 20 minutes to me)- videos from your channel is a fiat accompli in and of itself. Congrats on growing so fast🙌
i saw “part 1” and got SO EXCITED!! two parts?? we’re so spoiled. hearing about your personal beliefs in more depth and in all their complexity is SO interesting, gives me so much to think about.
I really love that your videos are backed by research, no concrete opinions, open ended for others to explore and the way you convey its not academic but brief and warm. I'm so blessed to have your videos as a guide in my Witchcraft journey. Tons of gratitude 💜
Thank you for answering my question about servitors. I was confident that you would have considered the issue I raised, and sure enough you have done in such depth that you've eased my mind on the subject. Thank you, too, for associating servitors with dogs and wolves. That speaks powerfully to me, as one of my power animal spirits is Wolf and because in this world I'm a dog person. My rescue dog and familiar, Blaze, an American Bulldog/European Mastiff, is passing over from this world right now, and although I'm grieving my loss of him in this form I have every confidence that he and I will maintain our strong connection in some way. Early this morning, during what will probably be our last dream together before he passes, we flew over lands and coast and a vast forest where we landed on its edge and entered its cool green beauty. Thank you again, Ivy. I'm sure you can imagine how powerfully this association you draw between servitors and dogs is affecting me.
Ah, I'm so glad you resonated with the wolf pack analogy! I am so sorry about your rescue dog passing. That is such a painful experience. Wishing you lots of healing during this time and a painful pass for your sweet boy 🖤
Love it as usual!!! Thank you!! And also the other part of your pup is more than likely Border Collie! Pet groomer for 25 years! I have a pack of 6 rescues😊I also work with dogs no one else can touch.. And it’s all because of energy work. No muzzles no restraints all will and energy! I so appreciate you also for being a furrescue mom!! You rock! 🖤💀🐺
You're always so thoughtful and easily present topics and their applications both in & out of religious aspects. Fantastic job, Ivy! I look forward to the next part. A vid on Dragon magic would be awesome & has my vote when you have the time, energy, & urge. 💜
Can't wait for the invisibility video! And loved the doggie protection magick idea!! And "balance your life" GREAT ADVICE! I need to take that to heart.
Yes, exactly. It is almost impossible to find content for intermediate/advanced and adventurous practitioners. My growth in these areas has always been self/Spirited-directed, and I'm learning to be okay with that. Mentorship and community? Not so much at this level. I'm a pretty good coach or teacher, but I'm not even finding students willing to go the distance, put in the commitment, and embrace the freedom. That's not what they expect.
The way i think of the difference between the feel of a spirit and the feel of a god, is a spirit is like putting your hand near a candle flame, a god feels like putting your hand in sunlight. The spirit/candle feels much stronger and more intense, but by comparison, is a tiny energy compared to the energy of a god/the sun, which feels light, but is incomprehensibly vast compared to the spirit/candle.
Congratulations - and thank you for such wonderfully thought-provoking discussion! I love giving these Q&A videos a re-listen too when I am feeling stagnant in my own practice as a way to inspire me. Both you and Kelly-Ann Maddox have been such an inspiration for me lately and hearing your unique perspective on different practices is always appreciated
I just want to say that your perspective, specifically on skepticism and overall the unimportance of knowing "the truth," has really changed my life for the better. I was an on and off witch, but what kept getting me was feeling stupid or childish for ever thinking it was anything more than me playing pretend. But the truth is, my magickal workings have more pros than cons, and absolutely nobody can/ will know the truth. So why not just believe what has helped me heal the most? Thank you for posting all this wonderful information on your page for free.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. It truly made my evening and I'm glad you are feeling inspired to keep going, despite not knowing the ultimate truth!
Hello Ivy! I am older, but new to the occult world (in the last 3 years). I have been practicing most of my life, but just didn’t know it was within the occult areas of study and practice. To go deeper into what I just thought was the right thing for me to do and realize there are others like me is heaven! You are interesting and obviously well read and educated; thank you for your insights and sharing it all with us. I don’t have a lot of people that I can share my thoughts with, watching your videos helps fill that void. THANK YOU!
This is such a good video! Your stuff is so helpful! :) I think the best way to work with Gods is to ask them if they want a relationship. For example I asked for an Egyptian God to come forward to work with me. I got a sign in a tarot reading. I work with Sekhmet now, a healer. Her energy really helps me. Some people in the Norse world would call me a sinner, but I don't care. What Sekhmet can provide is what I need, and the Gods I made a blood oath to have never struck me down! Gods are powerful. They send messages, just listen and you will hear them! ❤
I love the gorilla video! I use it sometimes when speaking to groups to illustrate how easy it is to miss things visually. The 2 groups pass a basketball to each other in a circle. You ask the audience to count the number of times the people in “white” shirts catch the ball. During that time, the gorilla enters the circle, pounds his chest and walks away. I offer $50 cash to the audience for the “correct” pass count 😂. No one sees the gorilla! Lol, it’s very very interesting to see what you see especially when you focus, your intentions…. Very interesting!! Love your channel ❤ thank you!
ahhh i love finally finding other pantheists!!! part of my belief is that i believe the universe/cosmos is God. i dont believe any God made the universe because i believe the universe made US i see it as God! it took me awhile to find the words for that. i’m glad you’re finding your beliefs :) it’s sooo comforting to hear someone else out there say everything around them is divine
For the spirit and ghost stuff in this video; I always see misinformation or perhaps just a misunderstanding of ghosts or contacting them in ghost-hunting videos and there's also a lot of fear and hate towards witches when it comes to those videos as well. I think I would love to see a ghost-hunting show or youtube channel with witches in it. I think it would just be so cool and interesting to see that type of content from a witch's point of view instead of people fearing them. Also, the potential antics of a bunch of witches hanging out together is also welcome and funny. If ANYONE knows of something like this that already exists I would love to hear about it because I haven't been able to find anything. If there is nothing like this that already exists I hope someone sees this and is inspired to do itttttttt.
Great video, I appreciate you talking about atheism and deities and the gorilla. Ive been struggling with "non-belief" while working with deities, and half of my practice is me having that battle anytime I want to do a working. You've helped me reframe it.
You're one of the few people on this Earth where I'm like YES. THAT. TOTALLY AGREE. It's so satisfying to hear your responses and really resonating with them. You're amazing. That is all. Appreciate your time and energy. 🫶
Congratulations again honey! I really enjoyed this thank you so much for pushing through the fatigue to record it I thoroughly enjoyed it! The more I listen to you the more I'm sure me and my husband are chaos magicians naturally because of our beliefs it makes me excited to learn how to use those beliefs in my magical life! Your dogs are so cute too xx
Absolutely superb video 🌟 so much info here that I know I will be coming back to time & again. Thank you so much Ivy. You are able to verbalise so much of what is bouncing around in my mind, you help me immensely
Just got to this one - I enjoy hearing your input and experiences on answering the questions. I would really love a video on the Quija boards. I have a collection of them and really want to use one but I am overcoming a bad experience as a child. I know I know I am over it just waiting for the right time to make it a positive experience. I would love a video by you. Thank you 😊 ❤
Thank you so much ivy....that was a lot of knowledge and scope to explore more.i love the fact that you dont insist and thrust your opinions on others rather just express in a way that is open ended for us to think it over as per our beliefs❤
I've really, really loved your videos. I've been binging them all. I am grateful for the knowledge you've passed on to me. Also, I apologize for e-mailing you for clarification on one of your videos. I got excited and it was my first video from you, and I later that night watched the one where you speak about boundaries. I am sorry for crossing one, I respect your boundaries.
For bringing in more fun, I try to incorporate things that bring me joy into whatever magic I’m doing. For example, I love plants, so a lot of my work centers around plants (e.g., herbal teas and salves for self spells, wreaths and swags for protection, researching the correspondences of plants that grow around me and meditating with their spirits). It feels like I’m playing and having fun!
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question! It’s relieving that someone feels the SAME. EXACT. WAY I do about the quick fixes. I feel bad for getting frustrated but it’s hard to hide it 😂 thank you so much!
i just started watching but wanted to say you have inspired me so much to start my own witchy/spiritual youtube channel! currently am working on a pick a card video but i am embarrassingly awkward on camera, also 10/10 doggo!!
☺congratulations lovely! so exciting! Ive had this vid in my watchlist with your vlog for ages and finally getting to watch whilst I potter. 🥰 Sheeba is sooooo cute 💜 Xxxx
Your idea of death has some similarities with Dual aspect monism theory. I love hearing different perspectives of afterlife🖤🌙 physics, psychology and philosophy are so interesting when you connect the dots between them in my opinion 🌿🌸
As I see it, there's continuity between our physical selves, our psychological selves, the collective unconscious, realms of spirit. No inside/outside, ultimately. All alive with spirit. Your psyche and your deities are one anyway. So, it does not matter. It all works, on all levels, forever.
I'm so excited to listen to a RU-vidr that has similar beliefs as me! I'm only an hour through but this conversation has been really energizing and validating. Also, if you want to throw another possible label to being atheist-animist-pantheist-polytheist... the concept of panentheism may resonate!
I so appreciate your beautiful mind Ivy and your ability to communicate so much information in a way that is easy to understand and relate to. I end up watching some of yout videos over and over again, this will definitely be one of those. I am learning so much from you about spirits because I have always been a little scared but that hasnt stopped them from entering my spaces from time to time. Seeing it happen to you during this video made me realize that it doesnt have to be scary. Thank you also to everyone that submitted these great questions but most of all thank you for your genuine and sincere responses and all the hard work you do to bring these celebratory milestone videos! Congratulations Ivy for the growth and success of your channel 🥹🥰🙏🏼💕
I really loved this! You are so authentic and that is rare. I appreciate all the in depth explanations you go into. Your content is a breath of fresh air. ❤
Thank you sooooo much for answering my query! THis was a fantastic format because I watched the entire video and WOW I learnt so much !!! Your explaination reasonated with me especially I am more of a soft polythenisian! Thank you Ivy! Love your channel and truly grateful for all the effort you put in for each of your videos! Lots and lots of love and gratitude-All the way from India !!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
You put in words exactly what I also feel is right to me. Exactly that. Also when you were talking about the frustration how some want a quick fix. and think witchcraft is all about quick abracadabra’s and a magic wand and problem solved…. Ugh! When I saw on Etsy that people actually sell this kind of spellwork to people I was like: whaaaaaaat? Seriously ? That’s wrong for so many reasons… The moment when you felt the emotions… It’s something you triggered with this spirit maybe with what you said about ancestors so probably an ancestor. Like something you said touched them deeply 🥰 Loved part 1, curious about part 2 😊
@@IvyTheOccultist it wasn’t me who asked the question for the show, so that honour goes to someone else :-) but I felt like this too and wanted you all to know we are many thinking the same way (that’s good) and I wanted to let everyone know I saw people selling this kind of practice on Etsy. I see witchcraft as a way of empowering ourselves and helping others but this is not the way obviously 🙄 My boyfriend has the same problem of people not doing business in an honest way in his profession and pretty much destroys the beauty of his line of work too. I mean… sadly it’s everywhere. I don’t think we can do anything else except for handling things the right way ourselves. One day we will be vindicated and it will be our turn to thrive ;-)
we have the exact same beliefs regarding death and energies and the collective pool. im so happy that you were able to put it into words for others. because when ive tried, i dont make sense and i sound crazy apparently lmfao XD.
Loved meeting your new pup! Always appreciate your perspective, Ivy. It's helpful to have another point of view to consider. Inspired to revisit some books I haven't read in a while and your linked videos. Looking forward to Part II!
I'm still new to working with deities. But from my limited experience, whether or not you should work with more than one at a time really seems to be up to your relationship with them. Some deities seem fine with you working with more than one. While others feel like they really want to be the soul focus.
Ok I finally finished watching this - was watching it a bit at a time each day Loooovee itttt 🎶 Thank you for all the great information and stay awesome 👏🏼
What you were saying about summoning your grandparents I was thinking something very similar recently liked your accessing a file of their Consciousness on the Akasha hard drive
Congrats on 20k! I'm still watching but I had to chime in a thought that came up when you were talking about your belief in 1 collective energy, but then other distinct energies within that energy. The way you describe it makes a lot of sense and kind of reminds me of how the physical world works already. Even just the human body is made up of separate distinct cells, but then all together they form a whole. Really cool to think about how that pattern in the physical world would hold true in the spiritual as well.
I am so glad you're resonating with this and that I'm not the only one who feels this way... because I totally agree with the analogy of the human body!
Loved the Q&A...just brilliant!!! You answered so many questions that were at the back of my mind but got buried with other stuff... thank you so much...I can literally feel the effort and energy you put into this video❤❤ a biiiiiig thank you girl❤❤❤
This was awesome! Thank you for answering my question. We think/ believe /whatever alike in so many ways, no wonder I relate to you so well. Congratulations on the new member of your family. ❤Your new pup is gorgeous, and looks related to your first pup. (I'm terrible remembering names, lol!) I would look at breeds whose tails curl up, like spitz, akita, etc., in figuring out the mixed part of the breed. Love you, Ivy, Peace! ✌️❤️🪄🃏🕯🔮🐕🐕🐈⬛🐈🎶👻🌟🙋♀️❤️
For those interested in Ouija or spirit boards I would recommend checking out Karen A. Dahlman's work. She has a RU-vid channel and books on the subject.
Your separation on definition between deities and spirits is like the difference between Aedra "God's" "Subtle, but Powerful" and Daedra "God's who kept their power before the creation of the world, acting more like daemons with a physical impact by pacts with mortals" from The Elder Scrolls Series.
About the dog breed, it looks a LOT like a border collie. I'm no expert on dog breeds, I just happen to have seen quite a few photos of border collies because I'm writing one in my book, and that's what your dog looks like. Also, maybe a husky? Not much to go on there, huskies are just the only other breeds I've seen with bright blue eyes. It seems like all tye other dogs have brown or black eyes
1. In regard of servitors: I love how your view is different from mine and how this views are complimentary. I view servitors as programs - some are simple, like pong game, some sophisticated like ChatGPT. Some people already talks about AI in terms of "who" rather than "what". I think it's up to practitioner to decide where they see line between smart program and concious entity, but when in doubt I'll say it's better treat program as concious entity than vice versa. 2. Taking vowels works in some languages but won't in others. Taking vowels in my native language makes no sense at all, mostly changes meaning of word, while not reducing much of the lenght XD (my language is already consonant clusterf00k). So I don't. It never had any negative effect :) 3. Thank you for answering my questions, I think the same, but I had some doubts and started to spiral into overanalyzing as I have tendency to that and I needed second opinion ^^. Also I encountered one PIE entity and it scared living sh1t out of me (its energy is so raw I still have shivers) 4. I love working with spirit board + pendulum (pendulum swinging towards particular letter rather than using planchette). Best advice I've got from someone: just set boundaries, those on the other side are more familiar with concept of "consent" than our society :)
I totally associate Chaos with Quantum Field ( Definitely an Intelligent Thing, from which Mental Intelligence, and Emotional Intelligence, should be always working together)... And totally agree with what you said about some Scientists, just stuck in the Repetitions of the Same Knowledge..., Exercising Their Grate Skills of Memory, but where is the Energy, and Skill of Creativity ????... So, they are holding back the Evidences that True Science Holds in it Self... Science has to be Open to all Possibilities... Actually the Witch Cauldron ( Laboratory, Experimentation with a Well/ Healthy integration of Intentions, and the rest of Energetic Ingredients ).... WICH is what the Witch Cauldron is meant to Do too... ... If they are not...what kind of Scientific Investigation, or use of Science they are then Doing... ¿¿¿¿¡¡¡¡ 👀!!!! ????... Definitely the Answer has been popping up ever since... Money has invaded their patterns of action, and while they are getting money of whatever practice, they are used to forgetting about practicing "True Science"...👎😳... Damaging everything in this Planet at all Levels of Social Structures, and Areas of Life...✨
Oh no my user is so embarrassing 🙈 I created that email account when I was in middle school/had a koreaboo phase. Why did RU-vid change it to where it's your handle name? 🤧 (very understandable you wouldn't read some of ours lmao) Saving this video for later, when I have time to watch it all 💕 also congrats on the big milestone!
Wow! Your dog looks like a border collie. That’s a psychology experiment with the basketball gorilla. You are supposed to watch the basketball only not the people. They say keep track of who has the ball then the second round they say watch the players or something like that and you notice the gorilla.
this guurl is fukn smart man i watch her videos and im like dam im 42 and dont even know the shit she talks about, so there i go buying new audible books lmao
I really need some help for my son who's ex-girlfriend / baby mama is controlling him through curses and other things she's done and it's still doing and I just want to talk with you to see how can she be removed from his mind body and soul His thoughts plans and etc remove them all?
Hi if your son is having contact with the mother of his child for visitation rights etc it is going to be impossible to completely remove her from his thoughts etc which in turn allows her to access him with curses etc. If he doesn’t need to have any contact with her then an in-depth cord cutting could help. A strong binding spell to bind her negative behaviours that impact him sounds like a must for this situation either way. A quick freezer spell can reduce her influence a bit while you get the binding organised. Hope this helps
@@seekingvision Hi, thanks for reaching out to me on this matter. Yes depending on the cost to have a strong binding spell done, I may have to do that. They have 1 child together but they aren't in a relationship anymore but she's always inserting herself in our family functions & continues to hold on to him so he can't leave her. She doesn't love him at all just taking advantage of his kindness & always asking for money every day of the WK mainly which I can't seem to know why she does that. She has her own job & money so she shouldn't be doing that.
@@seekingvision Jane your comment helped me to decide what I can do for my son behind closed doors you know. ? She just had a baby#2 & claimed it to be his which I know by my intuitions that baby is another man's child since she likes to sleep around a lot. She's acting like if she holds in to him& don't let go, regardless of how she treats him, he will stay but it's not fair to him
@@msdatkinson I’m so glad I saw your comment. My youngest son has been growing through a similar situation for almost 10 years. He does need to have contact with her in order to organise visitation rites so it’s ongoing & will be until my grandson is old enough to make his own arrangements to see us all. When she is really playing up a quick freezer spell calms the situation down quite a bit. My main worry is that she will one day push my son too far & he will finally explode with anger & frustration so I actually do a lot of workings to help him to be resilient against her toxic energy. Things to foster a very calm & positive energy in his home. He is now in the habit of only reading her messages or speaking to her while he is outside so the energy doesn’t get into his home. And he has strong protection items around his doorways that I’ve created to collect the toxic energy off him as he steps back into his home….salt bowls, witch bells, crystal grids etc
Forgot to say my son’s ex had baby 2 with a new man then had baby 3 saying it was his but it turned out to be someone else’s & she has had baby 4 Sigh 😔 We aren’t even 💯 % sure that her first child is my sons but we decided as a family not to get DNA tests for him. It can be so draining for me, the toxicity of it all, so please do take care of your own needs. I really do have to remind myself that if I’m not at my strongest I can’t really help my son & grandson & this keeps me on track with my self care routines
Hello, thanks for this video. In the Gods section you mention a Doctor. I think I don't spell her name correctly cause I don't find her. Please, can you put here in the comments the link to her youtube channel? Thanks!
Your pool of energy is interesting, what would you say to connect someone with schizophrenia, hearing voices. Could this be actual pool voices, maybe the person is tethered to that pool still?
When I say this I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings but the idea that humans have where they can control other entities in the sense of slavery, like that question asked aboutis a very egocentric ideology to me. No hate to that person I understand where they're coming from. I just feel like because humans have done such horrible things to each other we assume that we're capable of controlling anyone or anything, and I just don't think that's true. I believe that it's more likely that a spirit, entity, demon Jiin, faye, whatever you want to think about is far more capable than humans give them credit for and that they will take jobs for their entertainment or because they like you.
