this is me totally. i read but i'm so terrible at starting anything and then i battle self doubt or some fear as well.
My main issue with actually starting practice is moreso worry about being judged or made fun of. I don't have the privacy in my own home to practice, i'm always around SOMEONE. I prayed to two deities i've recently found connection with and been researching about, and after being asked about them in my search history, i was super anxious to even try it.
Go to the park in the early morning and find a spot under a tree. I do this all the time and am never disturbed(I go right at sunrise when the world is super quiet).
This video is exactly what I needed. Thank you Ivy. I'm sitting here thinking that I can't start anything until I enter all my info into my Book of Shadows.
I'm literally going through the exact same thing. Bought a BEAUTIFUL BOS off of etsy and now I'm like....where do I start. I've read 50+ books, cross referenced...studied my little heart out. I feel confident I could do basically anything but the most I've done is made a spell jar or two and charged amulets for astral travel. So stuck. Maybe I'm just lazy 😂
Wonderful way to break it down. It can be daunting in the beginning. Even after 51 years, I can still get overwhelmed by all the info out there and my own 'I want to know it ALL!' feelings. Step by step; layer upon layer. All the info we want will always be there. Just take it little step by little step.
Modern Magick - "I choose not to remember my dreams."
Currently working through this text and this line pops up when the author discusses the dream journal!
This is me! Chronic fatigue has been keeping me in the armchair
I’m an arm chair occultist ,I have read so many books and no actual work 😒, I have been reading books on magick for years now .
Could you do a video on “spiritual hygiene”? I’ve heard the phrase but haven’t heard anything in depth on the subject. If you feel called to do so of course. Thanks for all of your great videos! ❤
It means you do spiritual/physical cleansing before and after rituals/spells like cleaning your house, water and smoke cleansing your magick tools, smoke/sound cleansing your aura and home, banishing negative energy and spirits with prayers and incense and bells is a super easy form of spiritual cleansing as well as salt baths/limpias(egg cleanse) for your physical self, all good spiritual hygiene.
I'm so, so glad I found this video! I've been reading and learning about Magick for quite some time but I've been too full of self-doubt and fear of harming myself and my family instead of helping that I haven't allowed myself to take the first step. And there is sooooo much information, it feels overwhelming. Thank you!
I was an armchair occultist for about two years before finally starting a practice, and it was because it took a while to figure out what practice I wanted to do in the first place! At first I was content to just learn. Picking a practice was especially challenging because I can’t force myself to believe in the supernatural. Once I realized for myself that magic is psychological, I decided to start a practice based on that, and my main magical working nowadays deal with lucid dreams and oneiromancy. It can take a while of exploring different magic systems and discovering what works for you, but it’s very rewarding once you find something that sticks.
This is all such good advice!! I love that you gave people a real means for implementing a practice. It can certainly be overwhelming in the beginning. Amazing video as always!
Thanks friend!!
Thank you so much for this Ivy! One of my issues is feeling that there's almost no point as I've come into this later in life after collecting books and tools for years. When you watch videos it's always people who have been practising for many years or who are whatever number generation witches and it makes me feel as if my practise will never be as good or effective. But I just have to get on with it! So thank you for the kick up the backside!!😂❤😊xx
Thank you this is great help!! 🖤🖤🖤🐈⬛🐾 I listen to your videos at work and play them over and over in case I missed anything. I personally got a lot out of this one - all your videos are awesome!!!
Oh thank you, I am so glad they are that helpful!! 🖤🖤🖤
Your channel is just seriously so amazing! You're so educational and so personable! Thank you for your videos! ❤
Thank you so much♡ i felt very overwhelmed at the start and i'm trying my best to research specific topics and practice a bit more. I was so scared of working with spirits, but your advice on starting with just one is actually making me want to start connecting to the spirits of my favourite animals that live around here.
I learned about Agrimony from reading 'American Brujeria' 🏵
Yes that is why i love my witchy life spiritual journal big time but when it comes to dreams you only remember the important ones you are not able to remember every dream that is fact
Once again, I i wish I'd had this video years ago. These are amazing ideas and I'm going to refer this to anyone who asks me about beginning. Thank you!
I see multiple angel numbers most days and have documented them for a year. I also acknowledge every one I get and thank spirit. It’s funny you talk about connecting with trees. I have a sycamore tree in a park near me and just connected with it instantly. I visit it often, just today in fact, and it gives me such peace to see and touch it.
I love to use champer ,bay leaf,cloves in my witch craft
😁I love doing it
I was definitely more active with rituals and spells before reading as much 😅 the reason I got into witchcraft at all was just protect my family and my loved one who was still alive following a loss in the family so we did a protection spell accidentally. But at the time I used to almost cast a circle a day, even just to read tarot, and maybe it's the gildin of the first times one begins practicing but I fell like everything had more effect! Now I get so lost into details it's almost paralyzing. Thank you for this wonderful video Ivy, simplifying sounds like the way to go 😉
Edit: to give myself psychic hit I have started to tell thi fa that are going to happen anyway as if I chose it, so for instance, before a zebra crossing I say to the cars "I compel you to stop" and I hope that will get my brain in the mindset 😅
Omg this is me, I keep having these residual fears of the Catholic Church that spirits will steal my soul for summoning any kind of spirit or performing magick even though I know thats BS I still struggle with that 😢 I really hope to rip the band aid off in next week with first few rituals in the last 7 months.
Well thank you again! As usual you are awesome. This is definitely me. My problem is I feel like should I have done this first or this first. 🙁 Do I cleanse first, do I consecrate first, circle, no circle… You get the picture. Agree I also watch them over to make sure I don’t miss anything. 💚
I totally agree with you on getting to know your plant spirits. I have much better results from workings in which I use the flowers from my gardens. Great advice here.
I feel like this was very synchronistic for me. The numbers 1010 appeared as I saw your new video. I am a very overwhelmed armchair occultist. I am new to everything and had no idea where to even begin. This video and your video on meditation was so helpful. Im looking forward to watching your deep dive meditation practices and the different states. I would also love to understand more about gnosis and how to do this from a learner perspective. Your channel for occult information is my favourite, even though I dont practice witchcraft. You present information in a compact, digestable way and get straight to the point, not too intellectual for learners to understand, like some of the other channels (I cant even begin to understand some of their stuff) and you dont babble on either. This video made starting your work so simplistic and doable, that is all I needed. A smal practive If you could touch on cleansing and protections in an easy way, that woukd be wonderful. 11.11 this was posted
Stumbled across this... Occult is hidden knowledge...
Know thy self thoroughly before practicing. Majic is very personal.
Thank you for these tips! Absolutely love your videos and totally appreciate your take on where to start. Journeling has really helped me - especially with spirit and dream work the symbolism and connections were mind blowing to look back over.
I really loved this video do much and I've just been devouring sooo many of your videos and have felt such inspiration and comfort! Thank you
Just this morning I was looking at a journaling app on my phone and wondering what I should write about. Then this video pops up on my feed! Now that journal is designated for psychic hits! Thank you Ivy!
Thank you for another great video!
❤️🙏
Thank you Ivy. Been a practicing magician for many years. This was brilliant for making a stale practice refresh as much as a guidance for younglings and beginners. You have my love. Thank you. It’s amazing to no know chaos practitioners are very loving.
Putting intention into manifestation through action. Actually changing behavior vs only putting herbs in a bowl….
Focusing on the physical… when you want an energy shift in your life…..
@@solavie8269 Both are ideal. But mundane first before magick, once you have tried all the mundane/physical realm steps to manifest, adding magick does help my manifestations push through much quicker in my experience.
Thank you for this! I'm just starting trying to not be an armchair witch and I have a 2 year old so haven't been able to delve too far. But these are great! I know you don't have kids or anything but quick stuff like this makes me feel better about not having as much time to practice as I would like. I wish there was more quick stuff like this out there for witchy occulty toddler moms 😅
I agree with everything. Very good advice. I try to work with and use plants and trees in my yard that I grow or in my area.
This helps a lot! I read tons of books on occult and the information gets so overwhelming that makes spellwork stressful. I focus on I what can do in the moment, I have ADHD so it’s easily for me to get distracted but reading and using what peaks my interest helps. I’m reading the history of the Evil Eye by Antonio Pagliarulo which gives really good tips on protecting, diagnosing, curing the evil eye. There was a tarot tip that you can do to diagnose which was simple and very effective that I use and integrated with my spellcraft. I like the ones that focus on daily life and not much spending like crafting or needle and thread it gives a good direction. That’s why I recommend beginners towards folk witchcraft because it incorporates your daily life without having to acquire all these items.
@@m.m.6670 Ooh that’s really good advice!
It's been a few years, but I believe "I chose not to remember my dreams" is a quote from Donald Michael Kraig's classic Modern Magick.
All practical tips! Great video as always
Hi Ivy. I’ve watched a number of your videos & find them very helpful. Thank you for all that you do. I can see how passionate you are about your craft. Your eyes literally light up when you’re talking. 😊
Thank you, Ivy!❤
Love your channel! Thank you for this ❤
🖤🙏
Thank you for this! So helpful, I'm sharing it with my students! So many just read and research, but don't actually practice. This was a lot of helpful information.
Ah, I am so honored! Thank you!
Thank you!
You are always on point with what is needed in my practice. Thanks again so much.
Thank you Ivy, hope you feel better soon! 🙏 ♥️
Thank you!
Roses are absolutely beautiful i love them snd they smell absolutely gorgeous especially red and pink ones im in the middle of making Notre Dame water from out of judika illes book daily magic book
This might be the most helpful video I've ever seen on witchy shit
Ivy, I fear nothing. I’m just lazy 😂. And the biggest question is, really, where to start??? What/where to begin.
This is excellent! When I started I was disorganized (somehow I made it work) but I would've loved to have this advice. 🤘🍎🐍
So helpful, thank you. Armchair here…
I've needed this! So glad to feel like I have a direction and place to focus on now :)
i seen title i was like oh shiiii thats me haha since i was 18 i been reading , im 42 i barely started trying stuff a year ago , i just doing protecting and money ones but i did one for my bro inlaw to get away from the drug coc and i made they spell on my own and it worked for 3 months and i didnt redue
This video is so helpful...would love more insight on this topics...you are so much on point in every topics🤗
Thank you really much, this video was so well structured, motivating and realistic! ❤️
I really enjoyed your video! I am a newby that is just busy with daily life 😢but your suggestions are so helpful:)
Are you serious??? I just thought last week that I need to change that!!! Thank you!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm kinda having the opposite problem, I'm suffering spiritual burn-out.
I can't wait for the video on fear!!
Thank you Ivy!
This was so helpful! Thank you 🙏
Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot! 😍
Ex celent topic! ❤ i so agree on the herb kits.
I'm the opposite. I jumped in too fast and now I'm having to go back and fix my mistakes.
Thank you. BB
I’m guilty of buying one of those “witchcraft kits” on Amazon. And I can honestly say that I found it extremely overwhelming.
inbolc blessings.
I can’t eat or burn my Nepenthes . I love them
I don’t remember my dreams often and if I do it’s usually a nightmare. What if u can’t get ur intuition to work. Mine is lost or something lol
I haven’t started anything because I think I’m too focused on a “point” to it or a “goal”. So, if I get to the point where I’ve done whatever I’ve set out to do with magic, then what?
11:00 just curious, why do most witches use olive oil in their infusions and not sunflower? is olive oil better?
@@xavi9132 I think olive oil tends to be more accessible and cheaper for people than sunflower. Plus, olive oil is so amazing for the skin! (I'm sure sunflower is too, but I prefer olive oil or jojoba when it's something I will be applying topically.) With that said, nothing wrong with sunflower!
@@IvyTheOccultist That's soo interesting! I guess I'm used to sunflower oil being cheaper where I live. I mean, there's a factory right in my town 😅 But good to know 😊
my sister is interest but shes scared she thinks it will call devil or something bad so if u have a vid i can have her watch that would be great
I want to work with water spirit. Is that okay for a beginner?
I do both there is no right way about doing anything its all up to the person
Do you mean “I choose NOT to remember my dreams” or “I choose TO remember my dreams”? You said not to remember them in the video…???
If you can't remember your dreams in the morning, you would say "I choose NOT to remember my dreams today." That way, you are signaling to your brain that it is a conscious choice why you cannot remember your dreams this particular morning. Eventually your brain will realize you have a conscious say in the matter and you may potentially start remembering your dreams more often.
@@IvyTheOccultist wow!!! Thank you Ivy, I’ve never thought of it that way!!! I MUST try this technique!! I always ask spirits for answers in my dreams but I seldom remember them!
@@thelonewolf2073 I hope it works for you!! There are many other methods for remembering dreams if this doesn't work! 🥰🙏
@@IvyTheOccultistdo you have any resources or links to the other methods please? Thank you!
You are only talking about people who have not had head injuries please include us people who have had multiple head injuries and so much has either be eradicated or you just cant remember any thing welcome to me i have had five to six in my whole life and no there is no damage there apparently according to the medical industry but for some reason my dreams are basically no existence only if the universe wants me to remember them
I've never actually got to know herbs like everyone in the witchcraft community but with that being said I have always been around people who were farmers my grandma raised me and when she would go to work she would leave me with my dad's 2 brothers and they both had flower gardens and vegetable gardens when I got older I would stay with my aunt and she was my grandma's sister and my uncle her husband grow fruits and vegetables in a garden and she had flowers and still to this day my grandma had flowers in the yard and I grew fruits and veggies and year between spring and autumn and that is how I connect with plants and herbs
I used to love to use grape seed oil for my oil and coconut oil but my dog wants to lick it off me everytime I do it does anyone have a suggestion for a substitution ?
Hello Ivy I have a question for you can the book I read in be my digital notebook on my phone instead of an actual notebook?
This was super helpful. Thank you 🖤
