around 9-10 minutes you say it took YEARS. I want to thank you so much for this. I've been a witch for years. And for most of it I've kicked myself in the butt over not being a "real" witch or that I'm not good at it cause so many people say how much they've done, how easy it is to communicate with deities and spirits and they were doing stuff in a year or 2 and it made me feel awful. I've just started to redo everything and found your page.

Omg that Alice idea is so funny, cool, cute and imaginative. I love the term "Servitor Workshop" 😂🤣

I personally feel that imagination is super powerful. Imagination is the key to being intuitive to being receptive to psychic messages. It’s like a gateway. This is why children are so receptive to spirit because their imagination is very vast.

This was fantastic ladies!! Thank you. For people who have trouble meditating at first I recommend an exercise called sitting. You literally sit for 10 minutes a day. It's ok for your mind to wander all over, it's about the dedication of sitting each day. Then you can branch out with being more disciplined in thought. Thanks again! Loved this!!

Loki has come to me in my astral experiences as well! We don’t work together, he just likes to have fun lol

As an Extreme Astral~Surfer, I was really hoping for something more informative from the Norse Witch with her stating her expertise on Astral Travels in relation to her Magical practices .... This video was interesting as far as the sharing of personal experiences.

It's pretty amazing that you two know each other! I don't know any other Wizards or Witches IRL. It is just as well because I like to practice alone. I want to try to go the astral realm there at least once in my studies.

People do have the answers to some of these big questions regarding reality. The truth is just extremely unpopular. People have died for spreading the truth. People have survived and gone on to heal people but still have to be careful how much they share. After discovering astrology and occultism, I was dumb founded to find that the truth is often simple but not easy for us to grasp. Weirder than you can think. There are alot of people living today that are so surprised that they are her to embody the truth and not just speaking

I love that first question a lot and it got me thinking about what my own personal definition was. It was so interesting hearing the differences, but also noticing myself having differences as well, so I sat down and let myself impulsively type, and here's what I came up with. Like you both said, nobody knows what the astral realm truly is. Nobody can come to an agreement fully, but that's because it's not something measurable we can study. There is no scientific backing, and yet, we see people who claim to have traversed the astral realm who have had very real experiences and very real results for their frame of reference. I think this in and of itself proves that belief really can be a powerful tool, because if you believe in it, it will manifest in your reality in some way shape or form. As for how it manifests in my reality, I believe that the astral realm includes all of the parts of our world that we as humans can't touch. The astral is less of a space above or below us, and more like a separate part of the space we occupy that we just can't perceive normally. You can think of it like types of light. We have our visible light spectrum, but outside of that are other types of light too. Bees, shrimp, and numerous other animals can see these other types, but we as humans just can't naturally. Doesn't mean they don't exist, we just may need a little help from other tools to see them. Same goes for the astral. None of it includes anything tangible or measurable, so we need to bridge the gap and get as close as possible to the intangible to interact with it. This is why people use their imagination, dreams, and meditation, because things like that are the closest to the astral that we can get naturally, so it helps us perceive it better even if we ourselves are stuck in the material world. There are many different parts of the astral realm, but I see them less like levels or sections, and more just.. a meshed together amalgamation? lmaoo Basically, all parts exist simultaneously together and occupy the same space, but it's too hard for us to wrap our heads around that since our physical world can't work that way. So instead, we compartmentalize it. When we traverse the astral, our brains separate out the different parts and only focus on one at a time so it can be more easily understood, giving us the perception of different levels and such. It's a malleable space restricted only by the energy that flows within it, not bound by any laws of physics or science, so anything and everything can be possible within that realm. It's such a complicated topic, but I enjoy questions that get me thinking about things like that! Anyway, sorry for the rambling, I just thought it'd be fun to answer lol

I think what you call your inner temple is your version of my (usually outdoors) heartspace. 💖💚💙

I find it depressing when young people refer to themselves as ‘old’ 😫🤣 apart from that, I really enjoyed this video, I absolutely love the Alice reference, don’t know why I never made that link before, it’s so obviously an astral journey! ❤

I love Nordic mythology and would love to learn more about practices and witchcraft in that tradition. 💖💖💖

This has been extremely helpful for one who is very analytical and a skeptic when it comes to the world of "imagination". Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights on this topic 🙏💜

Hah! "Do your meditation!" must be the new "Eat your vegetables!" 😂

Thank both of you for great content! 💜💫

This was so informative and so fun

I was already subscribed to both of your channels, so it was fun to see both of you together!

I was so excited to see this collab on my homepage! 😁 I love the content both of you make 💜

Great video folks - really enjoyed it

This was an interesting and informative video! I love it!❤

This was immensely helpful. Thank you

Super psyched for this video! I’ve been wanting to learn more about the astral! Also it was so great to see the Norse Witch!

Thank you for this discussion. I have a similar style for journey work. I was glad to hear that others have questioned the things I see.

I loved this!!!

Exceptional video. Loved the interaction and discussion between the both of you. Love both of your channels.

Loved loved LOVED! We need more of Ivy and Bente!!!

So great to see both of you together!!😊Such a treat! Two of my favorite content creators and magical practitioners❤LOVE your channels😍💕

This is great. I recently came across The Norse Witch’s channel and I really like her content. It’s interesting

Loveliest Ivy, I just want to say thank you. Because you opened my eyes. The interview on Norse Witch channel you explained chaos magic so good that my brain 🤯...I realized what I am into and it gave me such a great liberating and releasing feeling of happines. At the 15th minute I got my eyes wide open and had my big AHA moment. Great channel and finest educational craft you share. My dearest apprecitation.

I loved getting to hear you guys together!!! Before I started meditation I ONLY went into the astral through lucid dreaming, and it definitely feels different depending on what brain wave you're in!!

That was fantastic Ivy 🎉❤🤘🏻🥳 That actually helped me alot. I struggle to find a quiet & peaceful place (I have a 3 year old 😂) But I definitely feel i have more tools to put them into action. Thanks for the informative video, to both witches present....Yous were fab🤘🏻🧛‍♀️🦇🔮🕯🍷🌛🌝🌜

Huzzah! Double crossover episodes 😂❤ I'm excited!!

THANK YOU BOTH!

I've only had a few experiences with the astral and I firmly believe that everyone will have a completely different experience altogether should they ever encounter it. It's likely that the astral realm projects an image that'll suit it's visitor and that it could be a blank slate when not in use. I think it's perhaps the most fascinating subject. Even what could lie beyond the astral is another interesting topic too! This was a really awesome video discussion! 🤘🍎🐍

Yes, this was a great video - I've been practicing astral travel and dreamwork for years, and it's still def a challenge - especially when life is really busy and overwhelming - which lol with two lil ones and work, home, spiritual practice, trying to keep up with creating content on YT and I, and just life - it generally is most of the time 😂. But it's the long game for sure. I found it a lot easier to practice these as a child, accidentally and wilfully, and it often happened, but def as an adult it is much more challenging and exhausting too. I need more sleep on following days. What you discuss regarding the layers really resonates for me also - certainly in terms of where you go (upper, middle or lower world) and how (as in the form or lack thereof you inhabit), as well as layers of depths and experiences; sometimes it's visceral and very raw feeling, and other times extremely vivid in a visual way. I also often find in the liminal hypnogogic state I experience a lot of clairaudience as well, which can be distracting and disturbing, but occasionally some important or significant messages do come through. I think it's a case of practicing astral work when you can, but also I think people can get easily fixated on it or spend too much time in the astral as well. Def a balance. Great talk Ivy and Bente 😊Xx

this may be my favorite video with the Norse Witch! -thank you both for taking the time to tackle such a difficult subject. i used to be able to Dream and Astral until i had to begin taking medications. (and i know that Astral Travel is not necessarily connected to Sleep, but i DO think it is connected with the Ability to Dream.) i posted a question below asking ppl, so i don't know what others may yet say. i can still do some meditation, daydreaming, and imagination, but with limited ability. also energy work is difficult, which is why i rely on so many candles. So hey Ivy, anything in your Psycho-Pharmacological Studies mention this? -sorry for double-dipping in this post, but this topic has driven me nuts for years....

Hello. Just recently subscribed to both y’all channel as I was researching about magick money bowl spells a month or so ago. I really enjoyed this vid so well. 🧙‍♀️ 😃Ime more so in the middle between a beginner and beginning of intermediate magickian. All these things talked about are the most fascinating and fun part of magickal arts. I have several positive comments but will break them down in separate comments at later time as I have multiple exciting things to say.

Ahhh! I’m so happy to see these collaborations you’ve been doing lately girl! I’ve been doing a lot of Rosicrucian studying lately which talks deeply about this topic. ironically you always drop videos that sort of correlate with my current studies. How would you compare Astral world/lucid dreaming versus the internal and external subconscious? Aside from Jungian theory with the definition? Or is it essentially the same to you?

whoohoo love you ladies.

Yes❤🎉love this topic ! The astral realm is still a mystery to me despite spending as much time as I spend there. Imagination is the new reality

So I love guided meditations as well as just a free flow non-guided meditation journey. I also remember my dreams almost every night and have had a few of them weirdly predict the future. But I have experienced something very different on a couple occasions where I actually left my physical body and I have been trying to figure out how to do it again. When I was a teenager I slept on the top bunkbed and I had orange christmas lights on my ceiling above me so everything was illuminated. I remember I was very thirsty and reluctantly decided to get up for some water. I didnt like walking about the house at night alone because it was haunted and I was creeped out by that at the time. When I sat up and went to climb down off the top bunk, to my surprise I softly floated down through the air! I looked around my room and everything was as it should be and I felt as if I were awake and alert. I got excited to explore and reached for the doorknob to exit my room when I was suddenly startled by this entity of a crow (weird, I know) that was a round black blur of flapping wings and claw. It flapped frantically in my freakin face cawing loudly. I could even feel the feathers on my face and bones in its wings as it hit me. I flailed my arms in a panic and popped right back into my body. I sat up in bed, my heart pounding and the room was that vacuum, pin drop, dead silence. I looked around and everything in my room was exactly as it was. The same rumpled dirty shirt laying in the exact same way on the floor, it felt nothing like a dream. I think whatever that was might have wanted to prevent me from exploring my own creepy haunted house? I can only speculate. It didnt feel negative, but it did scare the crap out of me at the time as I think it intended to. I think the key is to slip into that twilight phase where you enter sleep paralysis but keep your mind aware enough to try to sit up or roll out of your body. I almost did it again last year but weirdly the sound of my own snoring scared me back into my body. 😅I didnt know it was coming from me as I was starting to sit up and I thought it was the sound of something else breathing in the room and I let my imagination get the best of me. Next time, no fear. Any tips on how to leave the body in that fashion to travel the astral?

I know this is out of context but she is really, really pretty!

Amazing! My 2 favorite Witches! I have finally gotten myself to meditate. When I meditate I do use a tea containing Damiana. I like to begin with waking up my solar plexus and when I feel my entire body get warm, I like to release my astral body. I love caverns and I go to my limestone rock cavern under the Earth. We actually have a lot of caves and caverns where I live and we have a well where our water comes from a limestone cavern. So far I have torches in my cavern, a limestone throne, and a special pool of healing water that I use to wash with and to drink from. I see my cavern as my healing place. After hearing what you both had to say, I think I would like to have a library in my cavern. I will work on that. Thank you both for sharing your experiences with meditation and astral travel!

I love the Norse witch ❤ I’ve been wanting to work with mugwort for dreaming

I do not think I have ever clicked on a video this fast! There are so many similarities in the general aspect of how ya'll do it to how I do it, it makes me laugh 😂. I hated meditation for the longest but it layed the ground work. However it wasnt until diving into shamanism that the astral work became "easy". Then the more astral work I did the more my dreams changed and eventually lucid dreaming became an accessible tool. I think the body scan meditation is a great one. All body focused/centered meditations are going to really ground you and allow that trance state to come much much easier in my opinion I need to go check out the Norse Witch!

Love Alice in Wonderland. Great idea,Thanks, Ivy❤

Thankyou for a great video Michael Raduga has a great book called The Phase which details another non-meditation method for astral/obe besides lucid dreaming which he calls the indirect method. This is also what I believe Robert Monroe was hinting at in his third book also

I found this fascinating. This is the first time I have heard the expression "inner temple" but aside from a few minor details The Norse Witch has hers laid out the same way as mine, including a stone altar, bench in my case, sitting next to a Lake, a underground lake in my case, at the center where I go to sink deeper into the meditation. From there I go and see Spirits I have already met with in their own littlw domains, or ask to see a new one, and follow the tug of witch way that is. Well usually *laughs* The newest Spirit I have met kind of...slid me off my bench and dragged me down i to the lake, then theough the bottom of the lake, I was confused and reset myself back on the bench, where it happened again, so I reset. The THRID time it happened, I was like "whelp, lets see who is trying to get my attention!" And just went with it.

love!! u should do an episode with mint faery if u haven't already!!

I am becoming more interested in getting to know Odin. He has been traveling in the background of my pracrice for a while. ❤

Ive always liked meditation, I was a natural! Funnily enough, as Ive had more training, it has become harder 😂 because I start thinking about it.

I love your collabs! It took me forever to watch this cuz it triggered meditation snippets (that's the only way I can explain it) in me. I do have a question ... so I'm clairaudient. What I'm wondering is ... could listening to ambient music, nature sounds, drumming, etc., actually hinder my ability to get messages? The possibility only occurred to me while I was listening to this. Thank you both for sharing your experiences. I do watch Bente's channel as well so I'll watch that video tomorrow. Many blessings to you both! ❤

My first experiences were as a child, many of The times resulted in projective catalepsy (sleep paralysis) and when I did project it would be in my bedroom, but I do feel like there are many techniques for accessing the astral realm and or projecting the consciousness outside of the physical body to travel to other realms as well. A book that I have found very valuable that goes into not only the experiences of out of body travel but the science of it as well (Projections of the Consciousness: A Diary of Out-of-Body Experiences by Waldo Vieira).

Hi ladies thank you for your work! I have a question…i started practicing witchcraft twenty years ago but I’ve been very distanced over the years. Long story short, heartbreak lead to spiritual awakening, my whole life has changed blah blah blah. I listen to binaural beats or native drumming at night, and I also have epilepsy. In the past couple years I’ve started sleep walking? Usually it’s accompanied by a nocturnal seizure and I wake up in strange places covered in bruises. Last week I burned mugwort for my first time, and I woke up to my apartment thrown around- specifically the books “ moon magic” “ complete book of witchcraft “ and another book I can’t remember… I had bruises and my body was shot, feeling like I had experienced a seizure. I’ve had them my whole life this ain’t my first rodeo… but like what the fuuuudge is happening to me? Edit: my neurologist suggested I see a sleep specialist. I’ve asked the doctors, they don’t have any answers.

Ivey What you just said about knowing things about people and how they are feeling but not knowing how to express it well girl I’m 48 and I consider myself a practitioner of folk magik or herbal magik if you prefer but nevertheless you made the hairs stand up on my neck i haven’t heard anyone else say that the way you did it resonated with me in a big way I have been trying to find any information on it I would love to learn more about it

Very interesting! My 11 year old son is able to lucid dream and yes, I’d be lying if I said I was not jealous😂 I will wake him For school in the morning and he will tell me that he was in the best dream to let him go back to sleep, and by golly he is able to jump back in that dream 🤯

Need help. I did sit and worked on meditation fully 5 times and each time something happened that I couldn’t control or explain.u head grew heavy and I looked up at the ceiling/sky and I couldn’t move or control it. I wasn’t scare but a little worried- should I be worried?

What book is it that they mentioned about inner work ?

What about people who cant visualise, like me. What do you do then? I meditate everyday for around 15mins, now slowly building up the time.

Paul & Syann Hamden are mediums who feel that the astral is like the collective unconscious of humankind. In my own trips i have mainly been in the real time zone & seldom have any interactions. Does anyone else fi d it hard to read any writing in the o b e state? PS loved your conversation 🎉🎉

Wow I didn’t know mine was so different I get in Alfa state sitting up and go to a beach and my spirit animal shows up she is a orca I swim out to her when I touch her I begin to breath under water and she takes me down so deep in the ocean that there is a surface below then we surface I swim to shore thank her blow her a kiss she leaves I walk to a ticki hut that has my four Astro guardians standing there and I speak to the one that guards where I want to go and they they open the portal I asked for.

i am commenting here really early in the video, like a few minutes: DOES ANYBODY ELSE NOT DREAM? i think one of my problems with Astral stuff is that i cannot even Dream. doctor-prescribed pharmaceuticals i have to take cause me to black out when i fall asleep, and next thing i know, i wake up hours later. it's probably like actually dying-you never even know you passed out-there is nothing, not even a dream, to account for that time. MILLIONS are on these medications, but i've never heard anyone except myself talk about this. YES, i can still imagine, "daydream," during waking-hours, but not sleeping.

🕊🦇🔥🔥😊

yes I forget the Theta cuz i fall asleep lol

Are they any good devices available to the public that can reliably tell you what brainwave state you are in besides an EEG machine at a hospital?

Let me smoke sthg and revisit the video. Where was the advice for beginners? Hahahahaha. It was a wee bit too thick for us newbies. 😢
