Revisiting the Basics of Cleansing 

ah yes the purple candle, the forever mystery in the lore of chaoticwitchaunt

thank you so much for recognizing neudrodivergent witches! i have ADHD and hoo boy is it hard to cleanse routinely

I honestly love the idea of this series. This is a really cool way to look back on how far you've come, and what you've learned to do in a better way, this series is great, It's a great idea for everyone to do what Frankie is doing, looking back on what we used to think, looking at how our thoughts and beliefs have changed.

Your reaction to “high vibrational” made me actually laugh out loud. The look on your face was priceless.

"I think Myhrr is okay... Myhrr is vulnerable, everything is f*cked!" this got a chortle out of me. Thank you.

"Everything is fucked!" Is sadly something I said frequently while finishing up my environmental conservation degree 😩

the polar opposite reactions to this video and the basics of protection video is sending me lmaoo; also yes please, a video on your process with lent/typically churchy stuff would be so interesting! (....and if you wanted to drop that shampoo brand I wouldn't mind, from one dry scalp person to another 👉👈)

I also have a chronic illness, Lupus and Fibro, so this video and what you said, made me feel better. I have been shamed for not showering every single day. P.S. Love your shirt in the younger video. I ride a Harley Trike.

Thank you for talking about the chronic illness bit! I haven't fully practiced in weeks and I'll wait until I'm ok to do so. I plan on doing a big house cleansing soon when I have the energy/am in the mood. To be fair, I've been into this for 6 years more or less and I've only taken baby steps. I've had moments where I didn't want to practice and moments of hyperfixiations. I like it that way, I don't need to rush, I've felt a lot of changes in my life and built some valuable experiences. I've also learned to be kinder to myself and my body.

there's nobody else i'd rather stop my Netflix binge for~

I grew up using white sage because my grandma was Native American and I didn't know it was endangered honestly until I really started watching your videos and tik tok's. Thank you for highlighting in this video just how many common incense items are actually endangered, I will definitely be more diligent in researching the endangered statuses going forward.

ok it's Florence and The Machine yeah?

When you got to the dance cleansing thing I was like" that's a thing???" I've been doing that without even realizing! I love it. ❤

I love this series! It shows the revolution of your journey and mind! 🥰

The _huge_ air quotes around "healthy" was so funny to me. Mostly because it's so relatable.

I’m adding your spells for change to my “want to read” list! Def have to look into that soon

In a single half hour, I found out *all* my favorite incenses come from endangered or vulnerable species. 😔

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who can't clean as much as you actually need to 😅 And thank you for mentioning both physical and emotional health reasons for not being able to do it as you want ❤️

The difficulty when talking about resins is that often resins of different plants of different conservation status will be sold under the same name. "Frankincense" refers to resins of a few species of trees. At least one of those species is currently endangered, but others are doing ok. Right now a more commonly used species boswellia sacra is considered "near threatened" (the "step" below "least concern" and two above "endangered") due to unsustainable harvesting practices, but there is some work being done to protect it. Other species that yield less resin are doing ok, but also aren't typically being used for resin. As for dragon's blood, it also comes from a few species of tree, which makes it difficult to classify. The dragon's blood tree, Dracaena cinnabari, is considered "vulnerable" which is the classifcation between "near threatened" and "endangered," again due to deforestation and other human activity. Dracaena draco is just plain ol' "endangered."

My second child is 1 year old now. And I'm keeping my babies very close to me the younger they are. Which means that I haven't been able to clean or cleanse a lot and I've been really see value in both things. One thing is, I actually enjoy the benefits of cleaning and cleansing so much more. Plus, I don't think that a clean space is the most important thing in the world. 😁 I keep my chills even if it is cluttered, messy or sometimes dirty. But I'm also looking forward to having more time. Well that was rambling. I love how you evolved, Frankie. Watching this series of yours is a very valuable addition to my day. Looking forward to seeing more of this in the future. ✨👀

omg we need the name of the artist

"To cleanse- to clean it so what's the backfire of that?" This made me remember the times I remind myself to clean my area on a specific day then end up not doing it because either: 1, tired from whatever things that I had to do from night before or the past days or 2, just decided i wanna be a lazy instead and dedicate it to a 'me' day😆

Oooo I would LOVE a video on resources and things to consider in terms of ethically sourced materials. Im def gonna have to look into endangered herbs and incense!!

Love to hear about the lent stuff

It's worth looking into what you can find growing locally to work with as far as plants. I'm a big fan of spruce for cleansing/protection.

I recently started using floor washes for cleansing and warding. I boil my herbs, let them cool, strain the liquid into a jar, add a dash of florida water and then add the potion to my mop water, to spray bottles (for cleansing doors, mirrors, windows, objects), and sometimes to my bath water 🙂 and if you still want the effect of a floor cleanse but you have carpet, sprinkle herbs all over your carpet and then vacuum them up 🙂 depending what herbs you use, it can also deodorize your carpet! A LAST NOTE: YOU CAN STORE THE DRIED HERBS IN JARS, BUT ONCE YOU MAKE A FLOOR/BATH/SPRAY WASH ITS GOOD PRACTICE TO USE IT IMMEDIATELY!! YOU ARE ESSENTIALLY MAKING A TEA/HERBAL INFUSION AND IT WILL GO RANCID! I have stored excess in my fridge but I used it within days! 🙂✨ Also, rosemary hair rinses help with hair growth/loss and dandruff! It's a herbalism secret, but rosemary is also a protection herb!

I’m not gonna judge you for cleaning sheets irregularly. It takes extra spoons (for me personally, & that I often don’t have), & there was a time where I didn’t change my sheets for 6 months. I get it

30:52 "EVERYTHING IS FUCKED....damn" I was cackling at this lmao

Glad that this looks like it's becoming a series

You said high vibrational is not the right term, and that you don't like that type of terminology but you didn't explain why that term is not the correct one. Could you explain further? If not, it's ok, thank you!!

such a humble & wholesome series💖

The band’s gotta be Florence and the Machine?? And yes Queen, we would love to know more about the shampoo💓

Every witch I've met: Sound cleanse with ~bells~ or ~bowls~ Me:.....-bangs some pots and pans together- "EVERYTHING IS FUCKED" I feel this....I feel this so much drop the churchy-witch routine, I was raised Russian orthodox and sometimes I'm still drawn to it

Is the band Florence and the machine she’s mine

White copal resin is okay right? I buy my sage from a company that grows it on private land sustainably 🤷‍♀️ I only use it occasionally and typically choose to use cedar (which is slightly safer for cats which I have). Rosemary is also great 🙂

I enjoy using chicory, pine, and Queen Anne’s lace. All three are naturalized/weeds in my area and so they can be gathered super super easily for me to make bundles for burning and smudging. The pine also smells so good.

This reminds me of the billie eilish interviews that she does every year and you watch how she grows and changes and it’s really cool. It’s so underrated how good it can be to go back and watch how you grew, see what you’ve learned since then. I love this! ❤️

I plan to grow my own incense. Maybe this would help with the endangered incense. I didn't realize that they are becoming extinct. ❤

my tarot cards let me know they needed cleansing when they didnt cooperate with shuffling and they were so difficult to shuffle but now that ive cleansed them they started to cooperate again

i would really love to hear your thoughts on easter and how you’re celebrating it for your practice! i don’t really include it in my own but my family celebrated easter and i’d love to add my own spin to celebrating with them❤️

17:20 is it Fleetwood Mac? For some reason I remember associating you with them lmao

no bcz i remember seeing that video and when you mentioned sea salt shampoo my face legit was 👁👄👁 because from my experience i knew it'd dry hair the tf out 😭

Purple candle, back for another guest appearance 😂 maybe young Frankie used purple to associate as psychic/spiritual protection? That is the only possible connection I can think of. 🤷

you are amazing. so sweet and kind. i’ve learned a lot from you the past couple years even before even started my craft

also yes to seeing how you celebrate the holidays without going to mass ^_^

can i ask what’s wrong with high/low vibrations? i don’t really use the terminology myself but ik it’s controversial? i just wanna know why

You can also use rosemary, tjärved sticks, and cinnamon sticks to smoke cleanse. If you can’t smoke cleanse I would recommend getting a diffuser and putting lemon essential oil and clary sage or rosemary essential oils.

I legitimately love listening/watching your videos while I'm cleaning and getting stuff done around the house.

One thing tho…. frankincense, Myrrh erc are resins. So I would think you won’t cut down the tree to get it. Doesn’t it get collected? So I would guess that the use of resin has nothing to do with the trees being endangered 🤨

Could snapping be a useful method of sound cleansing? I don't have any bells but I do have fingers that can snap so I figure it could work, right?

Styrax Benzoin and camphor - easy to produce, abundant, materials that can be used to smoke cleanse.

I remember watching that video and going "Why is she saying all this and recommending sandalwood and frankincense?!" wondering if I was wrongly informed. Basically, resin trees are over-harvested. That's the rule of thumb to use when wondering about ethical sourcing, if you can't search something real quick.

yes about the easter video!! as another italian witch, i’d love to hear how you implement it into your practice. amazing video!!

Maybe instead of back fired you gotta do it again maybe more elbow grease 🤷🏾‍♀️

I just used black salt on a room that was formerly inhabited by a friend and let it set before vacuuming. Whole new space

Ok but I literally watched this entire video hours ago and commented

I can’t burn candles or incense regularly cause of my pet rats very sensitive respiratory symptoms so charges waters of all kinds are my go to, spraying them, cleaning with them, drinking them (not the rain waters tho cause those can be bad to drink), etc. it’s all great:)

Do y’all remember that trend going around asking what three items would be used to summon you? I think I’d use a purple candle and sleigh bells as two of those items 😂😂😂

If I buy a smudge kit, but I don't use it for smudging just smoke cleansing as I don't have ties to smudgings history, would that still be wrong, or is it ok to buy the kit seperate yourself from the white sage and smudging title

I love rosemary water rinses for hair health and cleansing!

"Get your incense from the dollar store, babe!" ~Frankie, 2022

Idk if you dropped the shampoo name but I’d love to know. I have the same problem with my skin/scalp 😅

I thought that it’s bad that I clean my sheets every two weeks instead of every week and now I feel better about myself 😂

I don’t have my glasses on and I started up this video and I thought for a second that you shaved your head and I was actually so for it

PLEASE name drop the shampoo my scalp is so dry all the time

I think it's fleetwood mac Btw looove your videoss

Last comment, promise - sandalwood is endangered BUT I buy sandalwood essential oil from Plant Therapy, if you get the Australian, it is Indian sandalwood grown in Australia privately where it grows better and is nurtured 😊 I still use sparingly but I support the nurturing of endangered plants other places if done ethically

Idk why there are no likes or any comments but hiiiii. Me over here casually chilling while working on a return to sender spell cause my mom do be hexed✌🏽

Great video! Sorry I was curious to know more about the cultural appropriation problem: I hear a lot about it but I never really understood it. Even when talking about magick methods: aren't all (especially the traditional ones), in a certain way, taken from other cultures and customs? For example, I am Italian and I live in Italy but let's say I want to create a witch bottle that is part of british folk magick. So is this a case of cultural appropriation or not? Forgive my confusion on the subject

As someone that is going into conservation as a career (graduating in May, and did a job spell to try and get a job lined up before hand but we'll see) everything is definitely f*cked and its not gonna get better with global warming 😀 rip to everything

The other day I was thinking if a prayer I say before cleansing could backfire, and the prayer says "keep sickness and evil away from me" and that very day I cleanse I got the flu. I was confused, but I guess it kind of "needed to happen", cause I let go off perfection and let myself rest which I really needed.

Funny you said both selenite and dancing, lately I've been dancing with a selenite wand, it works very well :) And personally, the way I look at it, any being who enters my space consents to being cleansed and transmuted. I'm gonna do lightwork on you, if you don't like it GTFO! 😅

Love this video. I love your video's. I have been watching you for a while, and Olivia, Annabel, etc.... You all have been so great helping me with my awakening. I would so LOVE to have you as a mentor. I just found out that I am 49% Irish, so wanting to look into Irish Folk Magic. I have never veiled, but I really am interested in that for protection....

I like your reaction to your self..shows how much you have grown in your craft!!!

hate to ruin the perfect 69 comments but I'd love a video on Lent and Easter. i'm in the middle of a transition from roman catholicism to folk catholicism myself

here again to say that rue water can cause gut issues when ingested. obviously you’re not intending to drink the water but if you dont thoroughly wash your hands after you may have gut issues and as coeliacs that can make it worse i dont wanna sound controlling, especially since rue water works so well for you, but please thoroughly wash your body after and minimise directly touching it as skin can absorb too

What are we using to cleanse right now?

WHATS THE SULFUR SHAMPOO 💳💥💥💥

I stg if the artist you mentioned at 17:23 is Hozier

am I the only one who wants to know about the shampoo? xD

First!!

I use sage out of my garden, is that okay ?

i heard from multiple sources that burying your items in the ground cleanses them but others said it charges them. which one is it? cleanse, charge, or both?

also is it bad to cleanse everyday?

is sleeping at last the musician?

I love this series so damn much! Thank you for posting:) My scalp needs you to share that brand!!!

is it fleetwood mac ?

I do have to work on my cleansing routine….. thanks for sharing and reminding others :) have a beautiful day!

you are so cuuuuuuuuuuuuute

dgkfhdksjfgh that NOISE of laughter you made at the "high vibrational" comment; same noise I make tbh

Hey! What did you say you used for your dry skin? Awesome video btw. My practice has simplified significantly over the last two years, it’s refreshing to see people re-evaluate their practices as well!

I know this is kind of random, but I thought you might want to check veil shop out. Its called Wrapunzel and its run by Jewish women and they are also on youtube and they show off some really cool veiling styles.

Are you a chaos witch and how did you know that you were a chaos switch I'm asking because I think I might be I practice witchcraft have for years I've been eclectic but it seems like every time I go anywhere there's just nothing but chaos and my house is not very clean and everybody's like how are you supposed to pray to the goddess in a dirty house and I'm like I don't know I think I'm like just chaotic can you help me

Yo, can you drop the name of that dandruff shampoo bestie? Mine doesn’t work anymore 😭

I live in a polluted and crowded area. I often feel overwhelmed but I'm aware of it. I hate going back home and not having a shower and clean clothes. The pandemic only made it worse 😆 It takes so little and it makes me feel physically clean not just "intentionally clean". I think that water takes off dirt from outside and it can have a cleansing effect on etheric body, too. I can add salt or herbs with an intention, but I don't feel it as a witch's must do. Veiling also gave me a big help, even if I'm not understood, I don't care. I cannot think of putting my hair on my pillow without washing it. Having very long hair I go out uncovered only when I'm sure I will wash it later and I still need to be in a mood for it.

have you ever used curly hair conditioner or products for your scalp because curly hair is usually very dry to it might work.

Frankie, thank you so much for your videos,. I am learning so much from you!!

What do I do if I already purchased white sage ? I would assume just use it up and dont buy it again but I feel so guilty every time I yse it

Tip for people who use drugstore shampoo/conditioner. Suave has a Rosemary Mint set in their professionals line. It's somewhere under $5 a bottle, I wanna say it was $3 last I checked but that was a good year and a half ago because I have short hair and wash roughly weekly (it is seperate shampoo and conditioner and not the cheapest of the drugstore options so I get it's not in everyone's budget) and while it's not the greatest for your hair, it's a decent drugstore option with some added cleansing and protective oils. I'll admit I'm saving up to switch off of it because my scalp doesn't love it and I like to dye my hair (it has all the stuff they say is bad for unicorn hair), but it's a decent way to add extra witchiness to things you're already doing (obviously it depends on hair type, whether you have the spoons to wash your hair in that way, etc.) But yeah, things like that exist. I've also tried the Loreal EverPure color safe stuff that has a rosemary option (with the actual oil), so yeah various brands have things along that line. I'm basically saying, you can get various hygiene products that are cleansing or protective either through oils or fragrance that works with your intent and are a nice low energy way to add to things you're already probably doing.

hi sweetie i’ve just started veiling and i’m at such a loss trying to find any, i absolutely love yours and i’d love to know if you’d mind sharing ❤️
