The hand statue would make a super cool candle holder. Especially if you let the wax drip between the fingers. You are killing it with these videos! ❤️
I loving going to thrift stores for my witchy finds! I would use the hand as a candleholder. The wax melting through the fingers would look really cool. Or use it an a offering holder.
Isn't thrifting the best?? Great ideas!! I love the idea of using it for an offering holder, but I think I'll take your advice and use it as a candle holder instead. Love the dripping wax idea. Thank you!
The first bowl gives me absolute water vibes! like the splash when you drop something in water! I think it might look really cool to place it on an led coaster thingy and depending on the element, light it from below in blue, red, green etc! So pretty! I also love that the first three bowls represent fire (as it gives you that energy), water and earth!
OHHHH that coaster idea is such a good idea!! 🖤🖤 And, what a great observation... I didn't even realize the bowls were representing water, earth, and fire until reading your comment! Genius. Thank you!! 🙏
Best witchy haul ever!!! Amazing! Favorite was the sea shell bowl! Also the hand could hold a spell that is for drawing things to you. You could use it symbolically as part of the spell, or having it hold a mojo bag, or petition.
That large wooden bowl is lined w capiz shells. I just bought one from Ross a few days ago! It's only about half the size of yours & I paid $15!! (felt a little guilty, like I was splurging 🙄) I looked up 'capiz lined wood bowl' and wow.. that huge size runs over $80! So that's amazing. & now I feel better. That black hand you could hang on the wall as a hat or scarf holder..Ike in Willy Wonka.. 😀 ...or for back scratching. 😁
THANK YOU!! For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what the heck that bowl was lined with. So thank you for that 😆 I loveeee your idea for the black hand to hang scarves. How cute!! And LOL at the back scratcher comment 😂😂😂
Be careful putting glass of any kind in windows. They magnify the sun and cause fires. Enjoyed your purchases. We have small charity shops here in ireland. I'd love to have the big shops you have.
Thrifty hauls are the best! I love not knowing what you can find / reuse in a 'charity shop,' that's what we call them here in UK. I live in Scotland & there are some very cheap shops about.
Right??? Thrift shops are the best! I had no idea they were called charity shops in the UK, but that definitely makes much more sense than what we call them in the US. 😆 Love it!
I was able to find the most amazing bell today! It’s crystal and has a singing bird carved into it. I love that because the bell ringing reminds me of a bird singing. It’s such an amazing connection to nature. Thank you so much for encouraging me to go thrifting for witchy items! 💜
I love love thrifting. I sad not more people do it. I hardly buy things from stores or websites anymore. I have found so many lovely often vintage items to use on my altar. Bowls, table clothes, cups, tealight and candle holders, books, old paper, plates, ect. It's great to recycle items and have one gorgeous vintage looking altar space.
I really should learn to identify rocks and crystals. I live literally across the street from a river with tons of beautiful, colorful rocks all over it. I'd love to know what I'm looking at!
The wooden bowl is amazing. I have a similar one that I actually found in the woods on long abandoned property. The green bottle would be great for love related work. Green is the color of the heart chakra after all 😊 I think the 2 brown ceramics are ramekins.
And great haul btw!!! I prefer getting my ritual items secondhand. Once I’ve cleared it, I think the energy is much better than new, mass produced items. (Not that some of the things I get secondhand aren’t mass produced but knowing that I saved something from the landfill is always a great feeling)
Oh, I completely agree. It seems items that have been on this Earth a bit longer hold more power than mass produced trinkets made yesterday. A quick cleanse and it's ready to go!
I would love to go dig/find crystals with my partner! I'm in South Florida though, so I have no idea what's possible here. I was just thinking about how I want an Amethyst to assist with our home protection & Feng Shui, & they played your video. How lovely to be able to go get your own, it must make it feel even more special bringing it into your home with the memory tied to it. I mostly relate to your viewpoint in practicing, I came at it from studying the mind & psychology as well. Refreshing to find someone else who does, glad you made a channel.
I'm sure there's lots to find in Florida!! There's at least 1 or 2 crystals you can find in each state. I've never been to Florida though so I have zero advice on where to start there. 🤣 Thank you so much for your kind words and I'm so glad you made it to my video! 🤗
@@IvyTheOccultist I hope you consider creating a Patreon in the future. Binged several videos today and really enjoyed your content and viewpoint. I understand if you don't care to make Amazon affiliate links for all your book recommendations (not wanting to support them), so another way for viewers to support the value you bring would be great!
@@BellaRigelOrion thank you so much for saying that. You truly made my day!! I would love to make educational videos full time and you are absolutely right. I hate linking Amazon because I don't want to support that giant corporation 🤣 I'm not sure about Patreon yet, but I am hoping that I can teach classes at some point outside of RU-vid. I just started this channel in January and had no idea it would grow this fast within 2 months! So we'll definitely see what happens. Thank you for being such a kind, wonderful person! 🤗
@@IvyTheOccultist Several RU-vidrs I support swear by Patreon helping them go full time. One sculptor I support teaches classes there, another herbalist has a higher pay tier for workshops. The ability to put classes up & also do live streams there is great. Plus the different pay tiers can help people who want to support a little, but can't afford a higher tier course, a way to give back to you. Though you may have looked into it and decided it's not for you, so I may be going on so I'll stop here! Lol. Really excited by the diversity of your knowledge and your open approach, you're a natural teacher and I can see success in it for you!
@@BellaRigelOrion I know absolutely nothing about Patreon so this was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!! It sounds like an excellent platform for the courses I'd love to put together. Ahh, this is fantastic. Thank you, truly. 🙏 I'll definitely be looking into it. Feel free to reach out anytime, witchy friend! 🤗
I was in a store that sold witch balls, which were explained on the tags. The ones they called witch balls had internal branches of glass inside, which trapped bad spirits like a dream catcher. The ones that were multicoloured they called friendship balls, because all the different personalities of those who are part of your life are represented by all the different colours and are what makes life beautiful.
I know what that hand would be amazing for, an extremely large crystal ball like the one I have that I can’t find a holder like that for, Lol? Im actually jealous of all the goodies you found! Please let me know if you really can’t find a place for that hand? I think I’ve now been looking for four years for a hand like that? Not sure where you’re finding all this stuff but we don’t have pieces like these where I am? Hope you have all kinds of fun with your new pieces cause you definitely scored. Btw I’m thrilled to find your channel I think cause I can relate to a lot of your illness/empathic issues as I have fibromyalgia as well as being an empath & a few other things. Blessed Be
Okay so I thought the hand would be perfect for a large crystal as well! But unfortunately, the thumb sits lower than the fingers so when I put a large crystal in there it just rolls out... 😂 Kind of a bummer. If it actually held anything properly then I'd just send it to you! And thank you so much for your kindness. Also, I'm glad we can relate to one another! 😊❤️
Definitely trying a sphere!! The ones I have now are a bit too small and they just roll right out. 😂 But a big beautiful crystal sphere would look great!
You found the most amazing things!! The hand would be stunning with crystals and gems overflowing the hand. The shell and wood bowl are mind blowing! The jasper!! Omg and witches balls! How did you find all those treasures? Or did they find you? Great magical conjuring!
Haha thank you so much!!! I go thrifting a lot and most times I don't find anything... It just happened to be a really good day! Love when that happens. ❤️❤️
@@IvyTheOccultist once I almost had a panic attack because I had an odd number of dollar bills in my wallet and the guy I was seeing at the time pulled out his wallet and gave me a dollar bill so it would be an even number
@@IvyTheOccultist yeah that was at the beginning of our relationship unfortunately he became the worst guy I ever met and now Im stuck with him being part of my life because we share a child but Im happy I have my sweet little one
@@SamNicholson1214 nooooo, I'm so sorry!!! I have so many friends in similar positions... hopefully you are able to co-parent well enough to make it work. Ugh. That's always the story, isn't it? How frustrating..
