So good to hear you speaking about crystals and the harm mining them makes.The people who are exploited. It breaks my heart to see how cheap they are on Internet. How many "witches" pushing the story that we NEED 100 specific crystals.When I was young we had an understanding not to buy crystals. I have been given many that are beautiful. But I don't engage with the grab everything "witchy" one can buy.Bear in mind what our ancestors used;being Irish I doubt they were using Brazilian amethyst! ❤
I was fortunate enough to spend summers with my granny in western North Carolina (in the US) which is the source of many natural gemstones. We used to find them easily on her property & she was very knowledgeable about gemstones, herbs & local Appalachian folklore. . She passed several years ago. I treasure the stones I have & use them often in my craft because they are my connection to her.
💯 I never understood the obsession with this - and especially practices harming nature or others,wl while one follows a path of nature spirituality 🤨 if I use stones, then it is the ones I find around here 😊
I knew from a early age that I was different because I was so connected to the earth. I spent my youth almost every day in the forests of West Virginia. My soul is very close to nature, knowing is just knowing.
Terry Pratchett is by far my favourite author. Excellent suggestion! My favourites (so far) are Reaper Man, Wyrd Sisters, Lords and Ladies, and A Hat Full of Sky. I am currently reading Wintersmith. He certainly had a brilliant view of witchcraft among so many other topics. Much love to you and yours.
Thank you for making this video, Bex. My practice really seems to mirror your own. I try not to get hung up on any specifics but just let my intuition guide my practice. Like you said, it should feel natural and good to you. Love from Michigan, USA❤
While not being a witch or of witchy persuasion, much of what you say and share resonates with me. I love hearing all the folklore and traditions, plus I love when you cook up your delicious food. I love seeing the beautiful scenery around where you live. I definitely love Terry Pratchett's books and love that you enjoy them too. Thank you for sharing your time with us.
I've really been trying to focus on my self care and getting in touch with nature. I take my pup on a walk every morning, and I've been making sure to so it bare foot. I've been sitting and listening to the wind through the leaves and the birds, the different sounds of the city around me...😊 it's helped me a lot in my practice. ❤ thank you for speaking on this. It doesn't have to be perfect or one way.
The channel brings so much joy to me and I’m sure others as well. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your content. It has made me comfortable reconnecting with my spritual self❤
More people should learn about the fact that the rusty old folklore books contain much, much more witchcraft fun stuff than any other new witchy book, no matter how profound and praised! Also - leave it to the Germans to describe and categorise stuff! This is one aspect, which makes me trully regret not learning that language. And, of course, thanks for the shoutout! 🥰
I was so chuffed when I heard you say that Terry Pratchet inspired you. That's exactly what happened to me. As soon as I started reading the witch ones I knew that I wanted to be like Granny Weatherwax. Sadly I think I'm more like Nanny Ogg, lol, but it got me back to paganism again, which I'd been into when much younger. I loved hearing your Q & A, Bex. You also inspire me and I feel energised by the ideas you give me. Thank you. :)
I have a witchcraft channel, but I don’t only post about witchcraft I also post about personal growth and creativity (digital art and music etc), but because you asked I figured that I could comment about it :) Cozy video as always! Thank you ❤
Oh my goodness. I love that you mention the witches from Terry Pratchett. I'm actually doing some writing currently about Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax and them being one of my principal witch inspiration. They are so practical and they roll up their sleeves but also can travel through the mind of a crow. Love it. Also agree wholeheartedly with your stance on crystals. Well done for sharing this important reminder. I'm hoping I can have the courage to film for my channel soon ☀️
Witchcraft has opened my eyes to awareness and self love. It is helping me practice being the person I want to be, that is how I know I'm a witch. Lovely video! ❤ I love your energy so much. ✨
Wonderful video! This inspired me to read more folk tales and weave it into my practice. My materal grandfather and grandmother were french Canadian and scottish, respectively.
I loved the down to earth realness of this Bex! Lol 😂 eek for the shameless self plug but I have a channel as well and so thank u for the green light to shout about that 🙏 ✨ And the Jacob Grimm recommendation; I have Dutch ancestry and struggle to find accurate folklore so this is great. ❤ thank u and blessings Xxx
Like Aurora said it is hard to self promote. I've had a channel for a couple of years as an adjunct to teaching about witchcraft. I'm defintely in the crone phase and since at heart I'm a teacher, doing RU-vid gives me another way to share my accumulated wisdom on witchy spirituality, magical practices and spells. I rely a lot on seasonal magic, moon phases, herbs, ancestral magic and folklore. Bex your videos are always beautiful. And I love hearing you share your personal views in a Q & A.
@@Thewitchescookery Deepest thanks doll, having to cancel going to my Sewing class today for all the coughing. Not happy about that. May have to do the same for Creative Writing on Tuesday too. I have a Journaling session on Thursday too. Already missed a few due to a trip to see family & friends, 1st -8th July. Fingers crossed it will shift soon. B.B. XXX XXX
I love the Terry Pratchett Discworld and Tiffany Aching books! It's so great to hear about others who enjoy his books. Love your videos, too! Thanks for brightening our days!
I find myself agreeing with you and identifying so deeply with the way you approach manifestation, spells, mantras and practise. I always felt a bit lost and like a bit of a dilettant because I have a very secular approach. Thank you for representing a craft that isn't seen very often.
There is a fun movie called Simply Irresistible and what happens to surrounding people When her tears fall into her Batter while she is cooking...even the kids can watch this one!!!
I'm a 7 as well. I am a happy person and tend to focus on the good things happening rather than the tiresome things happening in my life. I find negative people very draining so i tend to avoid them. Your videos are brilliant and always positive x
Why is promoting my channel so hard and uncomfortable!? Ack! Here goes though: I too have a channel if anyone here is looking for new content :) xo, Aurora
I love your channel! It’s also worth noting-Aurora also uses their channel to help animal rescues and causes and spread awareness. 😻 Yet another reason to sub if you haven’t already!
I am a recent follower, and i love your content - thank you! From the first video of yours i saw though, i have a question - your hair looks so healthy in every video, i have to know your hair care tips! ✨
Oh thank you so much 😅 I usually try and avoid washing my hair too much. So only every 3-4 days. As I have natural Wales and curls I use a curl Shampoo and a tooooon of Conditioner 😄 and that is about it
hi 👋 Holistic Witch here !!! Free Meditations Weekly, including my latest Lilith Series , a great way to dip your toe into Deity work and improve self-image . As well as Witchcraft and Occult in Pop Culture, recently delving into the mythology in Helluva Boss
I love the romantic ‘tax break’ wedding! You’re such a practical witch! I don’t think it matters when you love your family! I’ve been married 27 years and wish I hadn’t bothered until I was in my forties when I finally fell in love with my husband! 😂
I haven't uploaded anything yet, but this is my channel if anyone wants to follow in advance 😅! ❤ Also thank you so much for sharing your practice with us, and giving your wise advice! Your videos really help to ground me.
I really like Trixie from youtube.com/@thespiritualsorceress?si=AzTb4mfVZEq5Zkta They are so adorable and love gardening! They are a very relaxing witchcraft channel ❤
Hey i am really sorry for being kinda late with this question but i am a wizard (like, male witch) and i am working on some witchy projects to make like songs and lullabys with magical qualities like ones that make you be able to lure people or animals to you, and drinkable potions that give you boosts of health stuff like energy to run faster. Now is that witchcraft cuz some people told me i am not a wizard (i am calling myself wizard cuz i'm male) and that i have no idea in the practice. I just want to make witchcraft more than What it is. How are us witches and wizards gonna be respected and not seen negatively if we are not advancing our practice? Well main question is: Am i doing witchcraft or something else
@@beauty_potion_ Are you saying in form of a joke or in form of genuine need. also the lullaby thing is cuz i found a lullaby that whenever i whisper it slowly in the woods near my home possums and rabbits come by. there was once a time i whispered it at my garden and a racoon jumped on me from the trash so i guess it works
German, English and Dutch fluently. Spanish I can understand complete but have the grammar of a toddler 🤣 some other languages I can understand fairy well (Italian, Polish, Swedish)
Darf ich fragen wie du dich beschreibst abseits von RU-vid, statt das Wort Hexe zu verwenden? Weil ich mag den Begriff auch nicht so gern verwenden für mich weil 1. es sehr fiktional klingt, 2. Hexe eher mehr für Frauen verwendet wird hab ich das Gefühl (aber Hexer würd ich auch ungern verwenden) und 3. Ich denke dass viele Leute darüber lachen wenn man den Begriff verwendet. Deshalb wollte ich dich mal fragen, wie du es stattdessen erklärst? :) Ich hab mich mal als Paganist oder Naturgläubiger bezeichnet, da ich viel in Richtung Natur arbeite (ähnlich wie auch Druiden), deshalb fand ich es auch sehr passend.
Versteh dich da voll in allen deinen Punkten. Also ich geb dem Ganzen eigentlich gar keinen Namen - ich umschreib einfach meistens die Sachen die ich gerne mach 😄 und die Leute wissen dann schon von selber in welche Schublade in Ihrerm Gehirn sie mich am ehesten stecken 😅
Well I don't think witchcraft is anything new to me because I was born in a family that did witchcraft maybe they were witchcraft in the 1800s I don't know maybe I was in this life I had deja Vu before but I'm interested I mean I'm in good spells not bad spells I don't want to do evil on anybody enhance myself spirit I guess spiritually❤❤❤
Hey! A BRAND NEW witchy channel here! I am posting my first video soon! And it will be about BIBLIOMANCY DIVINATION WITH COMICS! Just wanted to give myself a shout out since you said it's okay! ❤
I wish. But sadly he needs to be ready and then find good people to help and support him on that journey. Please take care of your own mental health and wellbeing during this trying time ❤
You are absolutely delightful, even when you are sharing a not so good period of time in your Life. Your authenticity and straight-forwardness brings The Craft out of all that crazy theatrical/dogmatic hoopla and shows how the Craft has been in all our lives and continues to be practiced in the mundane and simple. Thank my dear, for just being You and sharing your Wisdoms, foibles, and family life while promoting a realistic example of what Witchcrafting can be. ❤️ Carry on.
