    Hey everyone :) just wanted to quickly say that the dream catcher that is in the background was gifted to me by an initiated shaman ❤️ As I already received a few questions on it, I just wanted to clarify that real quick 😁

      A shaman still had no business giving you that, it's part of Ojibwe culture. you probably should have looked into native American and first nation creators if you wanted a dream catcher

      @@kimikosmith7071 Not sure, dreamcatchers usually don't work from my experience unless it's made from someone who's been making them for a long time. The string pattern matters too, if there's a hole in the middle it means it should work, if there isn't then it's just decor.

    1. Read/Research as much as you can
    2. Write everything down
    3. Take your time, you won't learn everything in a week
    4.Join a group/community (Discord, Reddit, Insta, etc.)
    5. Make sure you double-check what you read, people make mistakes
    6.Know the difference between Wicca and witchcraft
    7. Wicca is a religion, it's not for everyone.
    8. Protection is important (Physically, Mentally, Spiritually, etc.)
    9. Don't worry about fancy tools and/or altars, tools are optional
    10. You can substitute any tools you want (a chopstick instead of a wand, white candle instead of and another candle color, etc.)
    11. It's okay if you miss a full moon or Sabbats, you're still a witch.
    12.Practice meditation, intuition, mindfulness (You don't need to sit criss cross with candles next to you and have an empty mind to meditate, just do something that makes you stop thinking about the world and just feel)
    13. Spells shouldn't be your first option for every obstacle in life
    14. Spells don't always work immediately, give it time
    15. You are still a witch/Wiccan even if you don't practice daily
    Bonus tip: Nature is your best friend (If you are feeling down take a walk or sit outside or just connect to nature)
    Sorry if this was inaccurate, I tried lol. Enjoy!

    I became really interested in Wicca and witchcraft I feel like I have found my path. Naturally I wanted to talk about it and told one of my friends I was reading and researching about these topics. She got scared and tried to get out of the conversation, I tried to tell her witchcraft and Wicca is not what they tell in the stories or movies but she sounded uncomfortable so I let her go, called her again but didn't answer. She messaged me and told me she was feeling tired and would call me later but it's been a while and haven't heard from her. I understand because if someone had told me about this topics a couple of years ago I might of reacted the same way, but I still can't help to feel sad about it. I'll probably won't bring up this topics with my other friends and definitely not my family at least not right now. My interest in Wicca Paganism and Witchcraft have not changed I am still very interested. Perhaps you have some tips on how to deal with situations like that 🤷

      Aww girl I’m sorry :( if you ever need a fellow witch friend HMU, I know how it feels to have friends treat you that way over a new path. Hopefully she will come around to it eventually but you shouldn’t feel the need to hide your path or not talk about it w anyone :( sometimes people hear witch and think you’re either crazy talking about Harry Potter magic or you’re evil because of their abrahamic beliefs. You know the path isn’t dark or evil, it’s full of respecting nature & working with it. Perhaps better explaining that it’s nature based and energy based, and you’re wanting to spread light not be “evil” maybe she will come around!

      The best we can do is try to explain Wicca, the worship of earth. Most people think of witches as bad, human- sacrificing cursors. We are represented wrong in the media, but we must explain what we do. Some people don’t accept it, which is okay, sometimes it’s like that. We can’t always change people’s beliefs about us, which is okay. We know what we do and why we practice Wicca, which is all that matters.

    • @r4w220
      @r4w220 4 года назад +18

      Sometimes when you find your path, at the beginning it may get lonely. Unfortunately, we don't want to let go of friends and family we love but not all are going to accept you for what you believe in. They may turn their backs on you. Don't take it personally. Some may never want to be in your life again and others will just need time to adjust to the "new" you. Just be yourself and follow your heart and everything will fall in place where it may. ❤

    3:30 - read as much as you can - look into history, paths, where it comes from, what it actually is. this is for better experience and you can use books, videos and websites.
    5:45 - write everything down - one of the ways for the brain to hold onto the information and you will be able to look back at ur start ~ a book of shadows
    6:30 - take ur time - don’t be overwhelmed take ur time and concentrate as best as possible don’t feel like ur missing out on anything it’s normal to feel intimidated you won’t learn everything in a week it will take time. you will always be learning
    8:36 - ask questions and join communities from people
    - facebook/instagram/reddit is a good way to find people to talk to and you can learn from them
    10:05 - dont take everything online real
    - double check or even triple check if u need we are humans and all make mistakes
    11:17 - make sure u know the difference between witchcraft and wicca - understand that wicca is a religion so treat it with respect and be open minded
    11:57 - wicca is not for everyone
    - there is plenty more paths this contains rules and beliefs which may not a line with u
    12:30 - protect urself
    - make sure u understand how to protect urself and to make sure u have your boundaries in place

      @frostbelle2205 4 года назад +205

      hey! 16 too and a baby witch (dw you totally arent late at all), but i’ve got a couple tips: first, think about what you’re drawn to. there’s so much info out there and it can be overwhelming, so pick an area you’re really interested in and learn all you can. do you like plants? candles? the ocean? astrology? personally i’m into runes, herbalism, and crystals, and i read a lot of forums, online wikis, and managed to cop a book on runes. if you have a library card, see if they have any ebooks (they especially seem to have ones on “home remedies”; you can learn a lot about herbal properties in those). dont forget to write everything down! if you’re worried about your family seeing it, do it in your notes app, but i personally think you retain more if you write by hand. nothing fancy, just a binder and some loose leaf. finally, don’t rush into spells until you feel confident that you are ready, and keep it simple until you build up stamina. hope this helps! :)

I've been to many stores that focus on Wicca and other magical practices and have always turned the owners head as soon as I walk through the door.

Lately I've been disconnected from my spiritual self and am rewatching these videos to tune back into my former glorious and happy self.

    Hi! I'm 11 years old and starting to get into the religion, Wicca and witchcraft. I've purchased books on Deity's and spells, Crystals and tarot, and on the history of Wicca. I'm especially into the " a little bit " series. I've watched hundreds of RUclips videos hahaha, and I've gone looking into many different forms of the religion. I see comments telling me to stay away from spells that could have bad intentions or bad outcomes.... How long should I stay away from it? Please tell me in the comments. Anything would help me, tips, tricks, what not to do and what I can do.

      Sup Mocha Cookies I myself am only just starting in Wicca and witchcraft but I have been researching and looking into this stuff since I was your age (I’m 18) and one tip I can give you is to keep researching and stay away from spells till you completely understand the possible repercussions of your actions and stay far away from Hexes. Start with simple things like meditation, grounding, sigils, and the like. Even then be careful as you can really drain yourself if you do to much before your ready. However, while I advise caution try not to take as long as I did and do what you feel is right and what you’re comfortable with. The only reason I waited so long to actually try is because my family’s possible reactions made me scared cause I’m from a fairly catholic family and I regret letting that hold me back.

      hii!! i’m around your age (12) and i’m also extremely interested in the magical world of witchcraft. i started last year so if you would like to have someone to talk to that is your age and somewhat experienced i’m more than happy to help you learn although i still need time to learn more myself!! do not listen to people who try to gear you away from something you enjoy. if you truly enjoy wicca and witchcraft then by all means educate yourself and pursue those passions. however i would recommend looking into all the spells and know that some can be invasive and dangerous so please be safe and don’t harm yourself or others. make sure if you are trying to manifest something or cast a spell that you have the right intentions and you know what you would like. also, you mentioned deity’s and i’m telling you because this is extremely important! deity’s will get very mad if you don’t provide them with offerings which is why i wouldn’t work with deity’s until you are more experienced. i myself cannot bring myself to work with such powerful beings just yet. trust me, wait until you work with deity’s! i would recommend starting off by just educating yourself with all the details of the past, like wiccan/witchcraft history. it is extremely important you know about it’s history. then research about zodiacs and the different types of witches (there are many) and which type your soul feels more gravitated too. write down all of your work and try to spend more time in nature or outside (please be safe nowadays) then you can try working with crystals and herbs first then work your way up to spells, and tarot cards and then maybe if you are comfortable enough work with a deity. however please do not feel obligated to fit under a specific guide, do what feels best for you! you will know when it is your time to work with different things. also another tip is that you don’t need to have fancy wands or equipment, most of us baby witches or very experienced witches actually diy their own things because there is a better connection with the tools which is why i prefer to diy them!! i hope this helped you a bit with your confusion, it’s a lot to take in but witchcraft and being wiccan is a lot of work! just don’t give up and keep doing you! if you ever need more tips just dm me on instagram @magluvs i’m always opened to talk or help you with anything if you need someone your age!!! i hope your doing wel!!! ✨🌙🦋🌸🧚🏼‍♀️

    • @lapixlaxuli6620
      @lapixlaxuli6620 4 года назад +13

      A small tip for you is to stay away from hexes and spells. Hexes and spells can sometimes backfire and cause harm to you and they're also quite draining. There are also entities that can cause harm so I'd say stick to protection jars and such for beginners, and if you do try to do a hex or spell please be careful and do it properly. Hexes can backfire and they can harm you or you can even sometimes hex yourself. I would say to stay away from them for 1-2 years, or once you become an intermidiate witch you can start using them. Also stay away from deities/contacting them for a while.

However, I’m not sure if they should have? I was always drawn to nature, astrology and nature. I’ve only recently found out about witchcraft but maybe I’ve been drawn to it my whole life? I don’t really know much about it but I’m slowly learning. My dad also has another friend who is quite experienced in this and I’m going to ask my dad if I can meet her.

    Over the years I have researched my little butt off and have come to the conclusion that Wicca no longer suits me and I am now just practicing witchcraft, without the religious aspect. It warmed my heart to hear you say that “maybe Wicca was simply the stepping stone to find the path you are meant to be on” because for me it was

Those strong emotions can teach you a lot about yourself re trauma and recovery. Best of luck!

    My family tree is full of witches and high priestesses and I always had a feeling my mom was a witch, even more so when she ran away and I felt like she was never really gone. I could always read peoples energies, could always feel when someone liked me more than a friend or hated me, or when someone had harmful intentions and their energy was just pure evil. And I would hear random voices sometimes telling me to go inside or warning me. At first I thought I was just crazy growing up, until I started manifesting without knowing what it was yet and accidentally cursing people who had abused me in school and at home. I always felt more spiritual than religious, and felt out of place when my grandpa made me go to church as a kid. I didn’t feel any type of connection at all. My sisters and I would always talk about how we thought my mom was a witch. Well, now that I’ve found her she’s told me and reassured me that I’m not crazy, and that she used to practice until my awful and abusive, Christian biological dad didn’t let her. Then I started practicing while I lived with him in secret. I started doing it without even knowing I was a descendent yet, then one of my sisters took it on too without my influence as I had started doing it in secret and she’s loving it. She’s a green witch, but I don’t think she knows it yet. I’ve escaped from my dad, and have been with my mom learning more about myself and what I’m really capable of. I finally feel like I can be myself. My mother treated me horribly because my dad abused her before she ran away when I was 12, but now I know that she was just so filled with my dads negative energy and hatred it wasn’t her fault. My mom used to be apart of a coven and everything. All of my habits, connection to nature and animals, and being able to read energies and even predict deaths make so much more sense. I used to just be an atheist and not believe in anything because I cursed myself when I was depressed and lonely and suicidal, my dad made me hate myself. Now he says he’s no longer my dad, which I’m thankful for, because I’m finally free from the awful energy that he oozes. I’ve never felt more free and happy. Yes. Witches are real. And now I can fully believe in this art and heal my mental health at the age of 19.

      Tips:
      Say you’ve taken interest in mythology,
      get some “pretty” crystals from somewhere, get those candles with saints/non witchy labels,
      Buy witchy books to go “learning the tactics of the enemy so you can convert them”, or go with a friend to these stores so you don’t have to buy them infront of parents.
      Use a separate Google account for witchy things/a google doc for your book of shadows.

  • @xtrinil.2288
    @xtrinil.2288 3 года назад +1

    1. Read and research A LOT (basic knowledge, you never stop learning)
    2. Write everything down (book of shadows or grimoire, it'll help you later)
    3. Take your time (and keep in mind there's always room to grow)
    4. Interact with the community (ask questions, join a coven if you want to, read/watch their videos and experiences). Especially if you're broom closeted
    5. Don't take everything you read as a law (make sure to double check and see if it applies to your practice, not everyone's practice it's the same, you may not connect to some things or they could be wrong)
    6. Note the differences between witchcraft and wicca (this is essential, wicca it's a religion, witchcraft it's not, and my advice is to check out paganism too)
    7. Wicca it's not for everyone (you don't need to be wicca if it doesn't fit you)
    8. Protect yourself (ALWAYS, in a physical, mental and spiritual sense, practice safely)
    9. Don't worry about tools (they're an extra, not a necessity), you can diy them too. My own advice on this, spell jars aren't the only way to make witchcraft, you can do many things with your intention and what you have at home
    10. You can substitute any tool you want with what you have at home (white candles, rosemary, crystal quartz, rose; Google it's your best friend)
    11. If you miss a Sabbath or Esbat, you're not lees of a witch (or full moons, or not making rituals on every important occasion)
    12. Practice meditation, intuition, mindfulness and visualizations (she says why each one it's important in the video)
    13. Spells should not be your first option for every single obstacle you encounter, they are not shortcuts
    14. Spells take time to work, they are not instantaneous and sometimes they don't work for a reason
    15. You are still a witch even if you don't practice daily
    This is my note taking, just posting this in case someone needs this ✨ nice video!

    Help needed!
    When I was little, I used to see these spirits/entities whatever they were in our home, and have nightmares about them every night. My mother told me after we moved from there that it had to have been haunted. As a teen, I would often see shadows and such. I've only ever told them to go away and leave me alone. I've closed that part of me off for a long time. But I often feel like I'm being followed by a shadow, being watched, and I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night sweating, and feeling a presence in the room. I don't really want to open myself up to it, but I want it to stop. What can I do about this?

Sun water is for growth creativity courage strength and physical healing it's made by holding water directly up to the sun in a clear bottle or jar and letting it pass through. Then moon water is for manifesting, cleansing, protection, blessings and psychological healing. That's made by leaving it in a on your windowsill for the moon to touch at night. Try it next full moon, on the second! And since you feel drawn to water witchcraft you can possibly collect some shells and sea water as well

      Hi! I’m literally in the same spot except I’m 13. I’d recommend find some plants that can grow in your room and connect with them. Care for them, talk to them, see what they like, and once you’re connected you can ask for their leaves to use in spell work. If you can’t have the plant in your room then keep it outside and visit them often. If you have any more questions I’m open 🙂
