tips that can be hidden: before starting anywhere ask yourself what is your motivation? if it's for looking cool, hun it won't work. now we shall commence... 1. get plants- they are great spiritual allies 2. work meditation- when you start reaching out dieties or whatever you prefer you will realize how important meditaiton is 3. go to power spots- natural are built places with strong energies ex: woods. forests. rivers. lakes. grassroads. mountains. parks. cemeteries. graveyards. - try to feel the different energies from these different places- it's refreshing/purifying to meditate at the woods or by the lake- most magic you will be involved with is local so you need to know whats locally available to you- make sure your safe!- these places are also great for rituals 4. sigils 5. charge items - you can charge literally anything with the intention you have in my mind ex: charging jewelery for confidence or foods ex: make tea and when you stir put intention into your beverage 6. knot magic- set intentions with each stitch when you look at it you will be reminded of that power you put into it- you can even do this with tying your shoes 7. essential oils 8. crystals - you can charge with energy if you want, but they already come the earth with every specific energies so you can incorporate them into your practice- you don't need alot just the basics i.e clear quartz, selenite, amethyst, tourmaline a little gem of each of those is good 9. bath magick- aster has a vid about this! - make an herbal mixture to wash your body and bring a certain energy onto your body tips for new witches: 1. read as much as possible - do you research on magick and witchcraft- aster has a free pdf for beginners!!and video for books for new witches! 2. learn protection- spells can be dangerous if not done properly so be prepared and protected. better to be safe than sorry. search for things you can put in your house, or that you can wear for protection.also don't be an asshole, that's the best protection :) 3. take your time- it can be overwhelming, but calm down you have your entire life for learning you won't be super skilled at everything it's going take time ( yearss) so enjoy the ride and have fun experiencing. its about building abilities to layer and complement each other. - you can't write an essay without learning how to use letters. 4. don't be afraid to explore-forget societal taboos, you're not going insane you're welcoming the spirtual into your life. when you talk to it, it talks back :)- mistakes are apart of the process, it's through mistakes that we learn 5. don't be concerned with labels- your path will unfold for you naturally, you don't need to look for it. tips for grimoires and altars you're practice is not how it looks, though it is fun it's not about that. you don't need all those things- it's about the power and energy that your manipulating there. as long as it's effective it's fine. 1. don't start out spending so much money on tools. don't buy everything you see on social media- you need to get to know you practice and get to know what you need so you have a solid understanding of what's needed- you don't need altars at the very beginning think about this when/if you start working spirits- although you can have a little space to practice, that is not an altar 2. do have some kind of journal- document/ write everything down you experience- aster has a link in her description!!
I get that. There are several things I already do that has caused my boyfriend to ask me if I'm a witch, and not in a joking way, but seriously ask me, and it's real sweet because he makes sure I know he would be fine with it lol... Anyway, I got sidetracked😅... My point is that I tell him no. It's not that I'm hiding anything, but rather that I'm not sure I qualify. I feel as though I haven't done enough to deserve to say I'm a witch, if that makes sense. I know there aren't necessarily qualifications, because it's different for everyone, but for some reason I find it difficult to believe I'm deserving of the title.
20 years practicing African Science. Magic is very diverse. You never know what type of practitioner you are going to be until you "become." Some Fly, others disappear, others heal, other shape shift, other turn things into gold, others bring rain, other see into the future or the past. Others talk with spirits, Other talk to plants. Others talk to animals. Others have the ability to speak and their words move mountains, mesmerize masses of people. Others sing and steal our hearts. We all have magic in us, unfortunately we usually don't recognize it. You may already have the gift, however, you desire something else. I had a certain gift from birth, which people thought was amazing, however, I hated it. I did not appreciate it. I was looking for something else. I spent years looking for easy magic. The type where you snap your fingers and stuff happens, until it finally downed on me, that my magic was specific to me. Once I embraced my ability, then my life changed for ever. Know Thy Self!! Thank you for the video.
I’m a newbie, only about a week into learning. There’s so much to learn! Thank you for breaking down the basics and sharing resources. I really appreciate it!
I've been so unbelievably spiritually overwhelmed. I don't want to say lost, but confused as to where I stand. One thing I know is I am drawn to nature. Im drawn to using what the earth has to offer to move me spiritually and to keep me healthy and well. I feel nature and the gifts of nature will guide me in every way. I feel connected to it and I feel rituals and procedures will help me significantly with how much I'm dealing fogabd cognitive disfunction. But at the same time, organizing this is causing overwhelm. I know it's the way i need to overcome all my spiritual overwhelm...I need this journey. Thank you for your guidance
Just wanted to add in that meditation is an awesome and vital thing to learn. But be aware of the people around you if you're trying to keep your practice private or secret. At least in the USA some more extreme parents and roommates get really uncomfortable if they find out your meditating. I'm speaking from experience, I did practice mediation when I was still living with my family. It was long before I picked up witchcraft, but I would still get a stern warning about how meditation lets the devil in. It's not extremely common now for me to meet people that think like that, but still, it does happen.
Omg really? There's people who get uncomfortable about meditation?? I had no idea 😱 it always sounded like something so innocent to me, that it didn't even cross my mind that some people could see it as something negative!
@@asterperpetua Yes, where I am from a lot of people see you as delulu if you do meditation or at least smile at you and think "Oh bless them. They actually think that's going to help." So I can also see some parents being ashamed of their children meditating and therefore not allowing them to or at least belittling/laughing at them. Which I also think is sad but we as human beings are still very much behind and immature in most parts.
I'm a man and I've had many friends growing up who delved in witchcraft/wicca and I simply listened no shaming ever I know this world is bigger than just us humans. So I want to understand more and learn to cleanse and protect myself and my family that alone would be great with this knowledge.
Being an eclectic witch is a great way to start your journey as it opens the paths to many different types of witchcraft. If you wish, further in your journey you can select a certain type of witchcraft, or stay an eclectic so that you have magickal freedom :) I'm personally staying an eclectic witch, I love being able to incorporate all types of magick into my life.
i have heard the call for witchcraft and since i started meditating, i started doing intuitively some of the things enlisted. Thank you so much for all this wonderful information!
Knot magic: I crochet, and partway through a blanket I learned about knot magic, and started reciting something to reclaim my power. It feels powerful now that I finished ❤
I have been interested in practicing since i was a child. I only started really practicing recently though. I do paranormal investigation as a hobby. I realized to really get the most of it, spirit work would really help. This led me to folk magic. I still stumble quite a bit, but your videos have really been helping me to figure out what aspects i need to improve upon. And im getting good results.
Oh paranormal investigation? That is so cool! But yeah, spirit work would most definitely help with your investigations. And I'm flattered to know that my videos help you somehow 🥲 Thank you for being here! ✨🖤 And good luck in your adventures ghost hunting! 👻
I have been collecting information since 2020/2021.. and its 2024 now. I don't know what I'm really waiting for. I did just finally go through every single tarot card lol I don't really know what I want out of my practice except that I want to be more whole.
I love this video and found it very inspiring for beginning my practice (gonna watch your book rec video next!), but as a girl from a HEAVILY Evangelical family, I found the section on "subtle witchcraft" inadvertently humorous. My mom keeps abreast of everything "new age" and "occult", and many of the things you mention (like meditation or decorating with crystals) would be VERY suspicious to her 😂😂 But we persist!
thank you for posting this! it was very informative and helpful! there’s so much to learn and i love watching these types of videos and taking notes on them!
Ive watched loads of videos for beginners and yours is hands down the best one ive encountered. You are down to earth and relatable. Cant wait to check out the rest of your channel!!
I'm just now finding you. I normally don't comment but you have a true gift that cake to me. Im 50 have researched for years I know I'm different I have been slowly accepting the differences and feel drawn to a good to help me and you popped up. Thank you.
I have been practicing on and off and in the broom closet for many years. I am stepping out of the broom closet these days. It was nice to come across your channel.
I started practicing right around the time you posted this video but only just saw it now. I want to be a witch because it makes me happy. I'm glad you mentioned getting plants as the first thing to do because it's exactly what I did primarily being a green/hedge practitioner. As someone who's being doing it for a while but still new I agree it's totally a lot of study but I don't think anyone would have a problem if you go a little crazy and try a spell or ritual. It's all part of learning and my opinion is that we learn better by doing the thing.
I need to thank you SO MUCH Aster. Your work is so crucial and helpful and if an insane quality, you deserve so many more followers and YES PLEASE MEDITATION because even as a seasoned witch I still don't know what it should be other than me not doing stuff for a while😅
Grown-ass man watching this, being happy that I don't have to _explain myself_ to anybody ever again when it comes to deciding what my next thing is, which at the moment is magick Shout out to all the girls and boys who do not have such luxury, I believe in you Thank you, Aster; I am not very inspired by plants and parks, so staring at a cucumber or talking to a tree is probably not the way to go for me rn, but meditation - that might be it. I have heard so many times how essential it is, but I didn't yet make it my daily practice, it's been one of those "i should try that one day" type of ideas. Gonna start today. Blessed be, or whatever, lol
Meditation is important, and I hope that you can find a nice routine to practice it consistently - that's a real challenge. Thank you for your comment! 🤍
I've been practicing for about six years now (I turn 24 on the 22nd), this was helpful even with the experience I have. My whole mental state and even identity has changed quite recently with my practice. It feels as if I've been cutting away at the bs in my work. I gravitate towards minimalism and so this is a wonderful review of foundational work that can be done without any tools or complexities, so thank you for this. It's inspiring and just what I needed as I'm looking to revamp my foundations and processes. Love your content!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments on the videos of the channel 🤍 your preference matters a lot to me, and I'm super happy to ne helpful to you!
I am so grateful for finding your channel! I love how you deliver the knowledge. I started on this path a little over 2 years at the age of 38. Ive learned so much & done so much reach but with a really busy schedule I& a big family I never get alone time to actually practice as much is like. My entire life I felt like something was wrong with me because I wasn’t religious like everyone around me never had a calling until I started going to this spiritual path. I finally found my way. Again thank you❤
I’m really new to this as well. I have always felt like I was different and maybe kinda strange, somehow out of nowhere, I started thinking witchcraft. I have so much to learn, I’m kinda in the closet and don’t have the time to spend on it like I want . But I’m learning and will continue to work at it. I love this video, it helps
I started my Magickal Journey this year on Jan 1st. I want to learn how to use the Hypersigil since I like to write stories. I like to work at night and by myself. Nobody else in my family but me and my dogs know I'm a Wizard in training now lol I have much to learn!
i'm young and i still live with my family so practicing is really hard. i've only started taking it seriously yesterday, but i've always wanted to start. i already have a lot of crystals because they were trending and i thought they looked nice but now i can get more and it wouldn't be suspicious at all! i put a bunch of spices and herbs into ziplock bags when my parents were gone and took them to my room. i also brought candles and other things. i asked my mom for incense and i said it was to make my room smell nice which actually worked. i also have a website where i can download books for free to research and that helps a lot! i'm looking forward to the journey ahead of me and i hope my family will be more accepting in the future
It was only really a few days ago that I got into it. I never understood why people my age were so obsessed with crystals and stuff, so I decided to do some research on it. Which then led me into witching and protection spells. I have quite a fear of the unknown, so as of now, I’m just doing some research into it. I’m really interested in this, I have euphoric feeling whenever I think about it. I feel like it might be my calling. I’ve always been interested in spirits and such, as daft as it sounds I never knew there were still witches to the modern day. So yeah! I think I’m a beginner witch. And I’m just gonna start with meditation and researching
I appreciate that you said to protect yourself when going out to power spots. As someone with a “s” assaulted/murdered woman in my family who “just took a walk in nature for exercise after dinner”-you cannot (I can’t stress this enough) CANNOT be too careful. Luck favors the prepared. If you can’t find someone to go with you then at least take pepper spray and a knife of some kind. My female relative never thought she’d be picked off and die that day being attacked by three men, I’m quite sure. They were never caught, by the way. Testing determined there were three of them if you know what I imply. It destroyed her family and it became generational trauma that affected the kids of her kids and so on and so forth. My daughter never left the house without a pepper spray key chain hanging on a cord around her neck, as well as a basic knowledge of self defense moves (available on RU-vid if people can’t take classes). We practiced them at home. And it literally saved her from a violent attack by a young man that had been sexually harassing her at a later date-so it’s very wise for everyone to know how to do self defense maneuvers. It may save your life at some point. Who knows what would have happened to my daughter if she hadn’t been taught these from a young age.
Currently I am a white magic wiccan. I am a second degree wiccan....only two months into !! I did learn from you though that I need to learn patience...and to stay away from campy harry potter people....the ones that WANT to practice....but end up just wanting to profit off of you...sell you crystals...books...etc.. .oh well....life is a journey and I am here for the ride !!!
Hello, new to your channel. I think that people get hexes simply because everyone has haters. You can be super nice and people still attack you. You don't even have to leave your house and you can still be attacked. Therefore, protection is important even being 'nice.' Also, when the video is in regular speed, I can hear your accent. But when I speed the video up to #2, you actually sound like me! I'm a USA citizen from Kansas City, Missouri! In fact, at 1.5 and 1.75 speed, you speak like a Midwesterner and I can no longer hear any accent.
Been practicing since 2020 and my practice is pretty much chaos magick. That's the simplest way to describe it. My practice is mostly sigils and energy work. But you can take that pretty far, hyper sigils, servitors, all stemmed from learning about sigils. But anyway in practice it's eclectic witchcraft that I do. But I definitely love chaos magick and have been studying it a lot.
I had two instances of unexplainable when I first started. The first is that I fell asleep in my bed, quite normal to do...lol, and then it felt like someone forcefully pushed my right arm down. That caused me to wake up and my first thought was how my arm was up in order for it to be pushed in the first place? The second thing is that I have felt like I've heard a male voice, twice. And I've heard, and my dog has heard noises in my house that started after I put up cinnamon brooms above my two doors. I'm not new in my journey, but I'm new in the last few weeks in EMBRACING my spiritual connection and gifts!
eu comecei a me interessar por bruxaria no início desse ano, inicialmente como último recurso, por me sentir desamparada, perdida, sem direção. sentir aquela sede de conhecimento e de conexão com todas as coisas sem ter uma base sólida de teoria ou um guia, sem uma única tradição familiar, só um monte de vertentes diferentes e práticas desconexas, sei lá, é muito estranho. dito tudo isso, seus vídeos têm me ajudado muito no processo! muito sucesso pra vc e obrigada por compartilhar esse conhecimento.
A bruxaria realmente pode ajudar mto a gente a retomar o nosso poder pessoal. Qnd a gente começa a estudar sobre magia eu sei que é mta informação ao memso tempo lol mas aos poucos vc vai encontrando o seu ritmo e o seu caminho. Fico mto feliz que meus vídeos tem te ajudado, é pra isso que estou aqui! Grande bjo, e bem vinda! 🤍
I have done meditation 🧘♂️ and do candle and kitchen magic. My alter is small and I do cleanse my house with insense. A few people know about my magic. And they can't be quiet about this and they told others. I have been practicing for a few years

Question, I've been pondering on, is witch craft something that we have to do externally, like getting spells to work, it's an entity making it work? Or it's your own power. Because I don't want to relay on something outside me.
I just started I don't know much what I'm doing I bought this kit it got a lot of items for the witchcraft and I just don't know how to use it I want to learn that I need help please help me

I’ve had this strange connection with the moon and the occult ever since I was a kid……it comforts me when no one else did it gave me life when the sun drained me. Also prayer works just as good as meditation 🫶
7:55 can you imagine passing away and then some man that's chronically on tik tok comes and messes with your grave just because he wants to act like a "witch" just to feel included in others delusions? Couldn't be me.

BLESSED BE EARTH CHILD: I come bearing a warning that Lord Zatzer wishes for you to turn from the path that you are on! For by following foolish intentions where one must be bound by soul and heart to a being is not Wisdom! True wisdom comes from understanding, Understanding the thoughts of those around you, understanding the implications of ones actions to another. We cannot gain wisdom by simple blind belief, claiming that One who is Above all can aid us and tell us right from wrong. You must decide for yourself for you are given the Will and Freedom of Mind, a Mind that allows you to question and ask, to answer and Teach. Do not give into the false religions of this day and age where you are bound by the teachings of a single book, a book that you are forcibly taught merely by being born from the womb of the woman who was blessed to be called your mother. No! The truth is there is multiple answers! For to claim that your religion is true is to claim that there is a chance that you were merely not born into the proper religion to be saved. There is safety and love out there for you to find! Find it for yourself Earth Child. I pray my Lords words clear your mind of the false thoughts that you bear to waste your time on senseless things any longer!
