@Jonas Emmitt i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Another librarian here, in small-town Virginia. We are happy to help you find books on witchcraft, and I say this even as a librarian who works in the library at a Christian seminary. Librarians, by and large, are all about freedom of information for everybody and pretty radical inclusivity. Don't be afraid to talk to your librarian about your interests!
Maybe I've missed that you've said this, but in case it wasn't mentioned: a lot of the older books about Magic(k) are easily found online in pdf form. I prefer having a tangible book I might scribble some notes in and underline the important stuff, but it sure helped me get familiar with a lot of basics just reading them online.
Another idea that is not free, but it's something everyone spends money on anyway: food. Being mindful of what we take into our bodies is healthier for our bodies, advances our relationship with the world/nature/agri-ecosystems, and improves our mindset for magical work. Paying attention to whether caffeine leaves you jumpy, or meat leaves you zombified is something to consider before a ritual. Is it easier to do meditation on an empty stomach, or after breakfast. That kind of thing. And in time, people can start cooking magically, if that avenue is available to them. Just because someone can't afford to burn copal doesn't mean they couldn't add dill to their roasted potatoes. With intent.
As a librarian I can confiirm we have seen wierder stuff. Remember that if you have a confirmation of low income many librarys will have a cheaper membership rate. (also please dont eat soup in the library, thanks)
@@Scraparella My local library is free for people who live within the city limits, because part of our property taxes funds the library. For people who live in the same county, but not within the city limits (for example some people who live 2 miles from where I am in the city) the library card fee is $60 a year. I would expect there would be similar situations in other places in the US.
Great suggestions!!! And I concur, most librarians are generally really cool and laid back about witchcraft, I live in the Bible Belt, and I know a witch who researched all her books at the public library.
With the library option, most local libraries have an ebook option so the book would be on your device for a certain period of time and then disappear. This is super private if you don't want to talk to a librarian and/or if you are worried someone you live with will see the book.
It lures a person into buying things for the craft. Especially after watching dozens of videos and reading every book a person can get their hands on. In most, if not all, books on the craft actually encourage or insist that a person “has to have” this and that in order to be considered a practicing Witch. My opinion, all you need is you and what you all ready have in your home or outside. There’s also Audiobooks or Kindle.
I heartily agree! I've been a practitioner for decades, and I doubt that I've spent $50 total. What tools that I didn't make myself, I either found or were gifted to me and repurposed for my craft, but all of them spoke and still speak to me, and I wouldn't trade them for the world.
I live in the frozen conservative tundra state of North Dakota. We are able to do the inter library loan online, i selected every library my public library is connected to(including may college libraries) and i found 10(total) books on Witchcraft only 1 of which was Wicca; and it was fiction story.
And journal your journey and thoughts. It doesn’t have to be in some fancy Book of Shadows or beautiful leather bound diary, though some are quite inexpensive these days. It can be in a notebook. To put down one’s thoughts and ideas, referencing, listings of what has learned or experienced, read or studied, questioned and discovered, can go far in helping a witch on their path, be they new to the journey or old!
I love my library. Even if a library doesn't carry "witchy" books, there's always history books on the myths of the Gods, plant and herbal books, how to meditate books, and other peripheral things that can really help you learn and grow.
The library & inter-library loan is amazing. I only purchased 3 books in my first 8 years in the Craft because I got great at being discreet in requesting books, and usually there was not a wait list. It's still a great resource!
Libraries are a great source for witchy books. You may have to ask for them. Witchcraft, Pagan, Occult, and the like, the are on the of the list of stolen genres.
I have found some free booklets on kindle and nook. Basic stuff, some older works. But it can give some ideas. Also, I found out years ago that I am allergic to the sun. Having to spend my waking hours inside was so horrible. My husband would tell me to bundle up and take me on long drives, buy me tons of house plants, whatever he could think of to help me have some outdoors time.
There are online libraries full of dedicated and organized witch-lit. There are youtube channels devoted to learning new things or discovering new witchy channels. there are plenty of resources and it's less on where to look and more on knowing how to.
I’ve been checking out so many witchcraft books from my local library! I’ve also been using overdrive and Libby (both apps), which I’m not sure how it works in other places but in Los Angeles you can use your library card to “check out” ebooks! So fast and easy
Good stuff! Just to add to this, I can highly recommend The Witch's Primer by Ariel Gatoga. He teaches via spoken work and has a free 18 week non-denominational primer to the Craft in audio format. When I got back in the craft a few years ago, this was a great refresher. For more ritual based stuff, check out Quareia. It's a full blown course of study that is 100% free and would take years to finish.
Thank you so much for making this video! I really appreciate your emphasis on public library as I wish I had used mine sooner. Also, I thank you for emphasizing meditation and going outside. I would recommend certain services for the people who have print disabilities. For example, I use One that has a lot of material related to witchcraft but also has other books as well.In my case I use bookshare.org Further, sacred text has also been beneficial for me. Kindle and audible are also good suggestions in addition to the books app on iOS. Thank you again! Blessings
The nature part reminds me of how the concept of “nature” is so modern. Nature and us are the same thing it’s just the definition everything and in modern times it’s the definition of everything except humans for some reason! To say any paganism is a nature based religion IMO is to say it’s not always exclusively anthropocentric. The image of nature being this magical wonderful woodland place where you go is still kinda stuck in that anthropocentric mindset of us being “other”. I think why hikes and outdoors and all that is so magical and magickal and important is because we are not isolated individual units, we are at every scientific level “all in this together” so to speak. From ecology to chemistry to physics. Nothing is isolated. So yeah paganism is a “nature” based set of religions to me, if the definition of nature is an all encompassing aspect of everything including humans and cement blocks and national parks. It’s about seeing that connection between things other than human exclusively and interacting with them. But yeah most people have this nature concept of galloping through the field on your mount with sunflowers growing behind every foot fall. (Don’t get me wrong I love that too 🤣😂, but it’s so much more than that and that idea to me) Note: this is only my opinion and not trying to speak for paganism or all pagans etc just an observation.
Yessss to this! My objection to “nature religion” is when “nature” is that modern construction: the thing “out there” that were supposed to “get back to.”
I recently found Amino app and it's useful. There is a group called 'Pagans and witches' that has over 300 000 members! In the group there are resources gathered, the community for support and you can make witchy friends! 🌙❤️
I live in a completely urban area and in my back yard I've got more than a few kinds of birds some of whom are spectacular, including huge hawks, that eat the rats that are too visible, mice, moles, cats, dogs, groundhogs, rabbits, skunks, squirrels, don't even want to catalogue the plants. Out near the park I've seen turkeys, pheasants, foxes , in several totally urban neighborhoods adjacent to mine I've seen deer and heard reports of cayotes. There are at least two parks near me that have little bits of old growth forest with trees older than the country both of which are surrounded by city. there is one park near me that has a modern Zoo... and if you pay real close attention you discover that the younger docents are often wearing pentagrams. I know of at least one ancient grave site in the city (although soaking up vibes there might be cultural appropriation) and one that just is completely steeped in the history of the area. Every major neighborhood in the area has some sort of creek or stream and the whole city is built adjacent to lake and river... and you are right.. it's amazing how overlooked all of that stuff is.
Love this! I've always loved that witchcraft is really flexible for the individual but I can understand that the way media sometimes paints it that it can feel like there's only one or a few ways to practice. The meditation bit makes so much sense. I've spent the majority of my 1st year understanding what exactly that means for me and I finally have a suitable way to meditate and stay grounded. I enjoy your videos so much! ❤
Thank you! I appreciate you letting me know! And yes-I think meditation seems intimidating to lots of beginners because we only see one kind. But it can look different for everyone!
Hey Thorn, isn't this the very difference between "high" magic and "low" magic? High magic being the Art practiced by the wealthy, with gold and silver implements and the free witchcraft practiced by the regular people, using household items. A "high" ceremonial magician once tried to insult me by calling me a "low" magic witchcraft practitioner, I giggled.
The title of your video hits close to home. I had paid hundreds of dollars on courses to get to where I'm at today with wicca including discovering your books and now your channel. It was worth it but on the other hand 400 bucks for amazing knowledge felt like a course in college. :)
Fantastic! Thanks so much for this video. As usual, it is insightful and instructive. I greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into sharing information with us. Thank you. 💗
In my province if you have access to a computer you can get an inter-library loan online without talking to the librarian :) Check if your library's website has an ILL form online :D
I have added something new to my channel. I normally would do unboxings of my two boxes I get every month and now I am doing reading from a book. I am taking my time with it. And I do hope that the people are enjoying my readings from one particular book. I also have a learning disability which some of the words I might not say properly. But hey least I am doing something to help the community out. So far I am really enjoying this. Stay safe and and Blessed Be.
Girl I'm baby witch 17yrs old I've been into the craft 5 yrs ago but more serious last year I live in africa Tanzania but I practice Scottish and Irish tradition coz most Tanzania witches practice dark art so I'm not into that so few days ago I started having dreams first I was in witch world full of witches then since witches keep on coming at me

Is sleep meditation ok and useful or do you have to do meditation 🧘♀️ and will being awake? I like lessening to sleep meditation music and such that helps me to fall asleep and sleep better in general.
I find it hard to practice my spirituality without stuff. I am a minimalist by nature, I always have been. Coming into witchcraft, paganism, etc and seeing everyone practicing with stuff is just discouraging. I don't want an altar, I don't want tons of tarot decks and crystals but it makes u feel less of a witch/pagan/spiritual person when u don't want those things. It gets to a point where u do take those things away and you're left with the thought "Well without any of the stuff, I can't DO anything." so as much as people say you don't need stuff to be a witch, it definitely feels like that's not true. Because then those exact same people will turn around after saying that and show you all their stuff! 😂 Confusing. Currently I am taking a break from spirituality, because its actually become a burden at present, and this is one of the reasons.
I think it depends on what your craft is is it religon based like wicca or are u just spell crafting if just spell crafting but u dont want to use a whole bunch of tools id suggest just energy work meditation using ur body to raise energy and manifest what you want im not a minimalist but i am very poor so i dont have a lot of tools i have some candles one oracle deck very few crystals and books but not by choice unfortunately our librarian seem chill but our county commissioners arent and they have been having a fit wanting books removed mostly LGBT +books and unfortunately for the most part have gotten their way

I think there's a big misconception that you need lots of info to begin with. I especially agree with what you said at the end of this video regarding meditation and using what you have. It's so easy and accessible to most, so start there! I had one book when I embarked on this path and used things we already had in the family home for my altar and spells, and that really was all I needed for a long time 😊

This is such a valuable video! Some really great ways to help beginners here, I love how you've highlighted how accessible witchcraft actually is.
Just to put this out there there is an app called Libby. It connects with your library card and you can check out ebooks.
