I would feel bad about myself for not doing any spells lately, making feel like I'm not "witchy" enough or that I'm not dedicated to my Goddess (I usually do my craft in her name) the 2nd part is a big oof for me than the first. But this video made me feel so much better about it and reminded me of backfire.
There’s nothing wrong with not doing much spellwork. Honestly I’ve found that taking care of my gods’ domains is my form of worship. (Example, tending to plants, physical competitive combat, etc)
This was so helpful! There's loads of "witchcraft 101" videos, but you have a lovely way of making this feel fun, accessible and exciting, instead of scary ❤
Baby witch here. First spell was a money bowl. Worked amazing. I’ve done about 4-6 spells. Started witchcraft early this year. It’s pretty hard to do research because there are so many websites and it’s hard to know who to listen to and I don’t personally know anyone else who does witchcraft so I don’t have anyone to learn from besides Olivia, Nike and Stargirl. Also began working with Apollo and Aphrodite
Look around for book reviews from people you trust (and even those you don’t know). You’ll see a few titles pop up over and over. Cunningham is a good source to start, and he has bibliographies where he references other stuff. Look at non-magic sources too like foraging guides, and folklore.
Have you also tried HearthWitch? I love her as well as all the other people you have mentioned here. They are all so full of knowledge and I could watch and re-watch their videos everyday!
My crochet is knotwork? I love that. When I make things for others I try and think about how they will use it and how I want them to feel when they receive it. I wonder, I’ve always made friendship bracelets and wish bracelets. I guess those would count too? 😆
I've seen a lot of videos with similar subject matter but none of them have really hit the points like you have here. I have been "witchy" since I was about 7, but, aside from a short period of time when I was 12ish I never really dug my feet in. Last winter, I felt a strong pull and started really getting into researching and gathering books and tools and so many things. I've been wanting to jump in lately and needed this video. THANK YOU. 🖤🖤💫💫
Same with the knitting. It has never gotten to me the way crochet has. But I've never thought about incorporating this into my craft. Thanks for the idea!
this was so perfect!! i mostly have issues with raising my vibration, i dont understand how to do it but i love your method of listening to music and dancing because i enjoy doing that!! Music makes me feel so good. i will definitely be trying this next time i do a spell ❤
This intro really hit the nail on the head of how I feel. All I've done is study, which is just ridiculous. Thanks so much for all of your awesome information! I LOVE your videos
Lol omg you sound like me. So I have had my altar set up for decades. Seriously, decades... Despite being adopted into a Catholic home at age 5, I remember dressing as a witch for my first Halloween, and by the time I was 7, I was researching in private. Over the years my research led me further and further down Ty the rabbit hole. By the time I was in my early the twenties I my personal library put my toen library to shame. Then of course the internet came about and I got even more sucked in. It was not until the last couple of years that I began to feel confident enough to try spell work. My one piece of advice to your followers- listen to her, don't do what I did! ❤️ That being said, I have no regrets. I have an amazing collection and have learned so much, but now it's time to put it to use. ❤️
My first call to the path lead me to tarot, it is my first eso-love so to speak, I'm eventually going to start with candle/fire magic, my first spell jar ever, last month,,,, was for help with having and remembering positive dreams. So far so good 🦄
I absolutely love that you discussed the preparation stage in spell work, it’s far too commonplace to jump from desire to spell skipping the in between. Keep up the taboo
I hear the trying out spellwork after years of reasearch so hard. I've been resaerching for years now and I finally feel ready to do not one, but two spells. The first is a money spell loosely based of the chaotic witch aunt money bowl, and the next one is a self-love spell. I'm in the process of researching ingredients now and I'm so excited!
I’m glad I followed my intuition and started with cleansing/protecting and healing spells. I felt that I needed to cleanse and protect my own energy and space. Something tells me I shouldn’t be casting if I’m emotionally driven by the motivation
I read somewhere that the need to make a ritual or a spell is to come up with your own way. I think I get that now. I tried my first Full Moon ritual this Nov 19 and I see now where I succeeded and where I could do better. My main gain from the exercise: I realized that as a cook, I can easily call cooking meditation. I meditated before cooking myself some dinner, just to get in the zone. Then as I cooked, I used that time to focus on all of the things I wanted to release in my life. I wrote out my list as I cooked and then burned it away in a cooking pot and dumped the ashes in the recycling bin. It didn't occur to me to read my cards afterwards, thanks for the tip!
I'm so glad I found this video, this is exactly where I'm at right now. I've been doing a lot of research, probably a bit excessive with the research 😂😂
Love the point on wants vs needs. My path is mostly research now. But I have done a few white candle magick spells. For cleansing negative energy and positive opportunities to open up. It's a lifetime journey. Any spells I have done, or will do in the future is about going forth in light and positivity. To better myself and keep that energy flowing.
Great Video!! I agree, I work very few spells for myself in the course of a year, maybe 2, and if I don't work any then I consider it a great year. However, being in a coven I will work Magick for others atleast once a month.
Awesome video nike! All of your videos are super informative, I love that you give examples too. Could I ask what book you showed had the moon cycles and zodiac signs? I've been recommending all your videos to my brother who is just starting out. I find that these are super super useful for him!
I discovered this on accident and I’m dying laughing, if you pause at 0:19 at the exact moment (not where the link takes you, you gotta pause it right there yourself) Nike looks like she is smelling some invisible roses 😂😂😂
Hi ! I love your RUclips and adore how you explain ! I’m new to all of this ...never did a spell but I’ve researched for a while now and got my notes books and stuff ... First I have to devote my tools and afterwords if I wanna do a spell jar or a candle spell do I must cast a protection cercle ?
Hi, I’ve been practising for about a year, I would suggest that you consider casting a circle if you want to make sure that you’re protected, especially as a beginner as sometimes spells can backfire :)
I try not to feel so bad that I don’t cast a spell or meditate everyday. I either study or when I do feel the need to cast a spell, it’s either protection, cleansing or self care. I’m trying to only cast the spells that I feel like I need or a spell that I want to try out and see if it suits my practice. I really enjoyed this video! Thank you Nike!
Hi, i need your advice. A year ago i was really into witchcraft and done a lot of research, reading history n diff practices. Referenced on meaning, symbolism, and energy from diff crystals n herbs. and watched youtube videos by other witches. I gathered materials bought crystals n herbs. and made my altar. Then, i finally dived into my first spellwork which was charmbags. I poured my intention so wholeheartedly til tears flowed.. but. The charmbag had none or and opposite effect.. it was a charmbag that was for my boyfriend for his wellbeing, protection, lift hurt from bad past, but i also included this hope that he will be less argumentative n talk gentler. Then just a couple days after gifting him that charmbag, tadaa. An argument n no changes from before the charmbag. i was so hurt and demotivated all of a sudden. it was very impactful. And a year later i finally healed ish and wanting to return to my love for witchcraft.. just need to hear some wisdom from you at this point in time. Thank you so much
Whenever I plan on doing something (which isn’t that often lol) I ALWAYS cast a circle and cleanse after. But I still get nervous after for whatever reason because I feel like I did something wrong. even tho i’ve been doing this for 2 years 😳😳
OK, first off super cool about the crochet in your spell work never thought of it :). Secondly, where did you get that moon phase book. What's it called or did you make it yourself? That info about the signs the moon is in seems super useful and important.
this doesn’t really have to do with this but i thought it was funny. i was in the shower meditating and manifesting myself to be motivated for today and trying to tap into my inner witch lol. then it lowkey backfired cause i’m up at 3am motivated and awake when i should be sleeping LOL.
Wanting to do a spell vs needing to do! 👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo!

LMao originally when you said "knot magic" i thought you said "not magic" and i was like ✨abstinence ✨
I've seen a lot of videos with similar subject matter but none of them have really hit the points like you have here.

Oooh was so excited when you said crochet! I love crocheting!
Omg I looooove your haircut. It’s awesome!!!!!
My first call to the path lead me to tarot, it is my first eso-love so to speak, I'm eventually going to start with candle/fire magic, my first spell jar ever, last month,,,, was for help with having and remembering positive dreams. So far so good 🦄
My first spell was a knot work spell of protection for my book of shadows! It works really well and I'm glad I started so small.
I absolutely love that you discussed the preparation stage in spell work, it’s far too commonplace to jump from desire to spell skipping the in between. Keep up the taboo
Grateful for people like you sharing your knowledge
Your grace...... your moves....... absolutely immaculate!!!!!!!!!!!
It so nice to see you again nike!! Thank you so much for another info!! 🧙♀️

Just discovered your channel and I'm a real fan of how you break stuff down 😁❤️ keep up the good work
I'm so glad I found this video, this is exactly where I'm at right now. I've been doing a lot of research, probably a bit excessive with the research 😂😂
You can never be too excessive with research! You never stop doing it, and the more you know the better!
Warrior Witch Nike it also gives me an excuse to buy more books 😂

I've just arrived to your channel, and this video is so helpful! Thank you very much~
Really appreciate your channel & videos ❤️ always super informative! x
A few seconds in, love your vibe thank you
Awesome video nike! All of your videos are super informative, I love that you give examples too. Could I ask what book you showed had the moon cycles and zodiac signs? I've been recommending all your videos to my brother who is just starting out. I find that these are super super useful for him!
It's actually in a planner made by Magic of I!
Thank you! This was very helpful
I prep alot too
Love the montage 😆
Hey Nike! Can I use selenite to clean my home ,like incense? Or selenite don't do this kind of cleaning?
I know Selenite wands exist so I imagine you could, though I personally use other methods most of the time. :)
I discovered this on accident and I’m dying laughing, if you pause at 0:19 at the exact moment (not where the link takes you, you gotta pause it right there yourself) Nike looks like she is smelling some invisible roses 😂😂😂

Hi, I’ve been practising for about a year, I would suggest that you consider casting a circle if you want to make sure that you’re protected, especially as a beginner as sometimes spells can backfire :)
My first spells were for protection, clarity, and self-forgiveness. I wanted to do a big money spell... Spirit said noooooooope. Lol!
I try not to feel so bad that I don’t cast a spell or meditate everyday. I either study or when I do feel the need to cast a spell, it’s either protection, cleansing or self care. I’m trying to only cast the spells that I feel like I need or a spell that I want to try out and see if it suits my practice. I really enjoyed this video! Thank you Nike!
Knitting never clicked for me either!!

hi! i was wondering what book you were using to see what moon phase correlate w what signs?
Whenever I plan on doing something (which isn’t that often lol) I ALWAYS cast a circle and cleanse after. But I still get nervous after for whatever reason because I feel like I did something wrong. even tho i’ve been doing this for 2 years 😳😳
Nana nike 🤩🤩🤩
What's the title of that book with the planetary hours and such?? Neeeed lol
OK, first off super cool about the crochet in your spell work never thought of it :). Secondly, where did you get that moon phase book. What's it called or did you make it yourself? That info about the signs the moon is in seems super useful and important.
Do you know any website to do research? Or any websites that have spells I can do?
Research is a broad topic so it depends on what you're researching. And there's lots of spell books on the market if you look around.
Ohhh KNOT Magic..... yeah that makes a lot more sense than NOT magic
this doesn’t really have to do with this but i thought it was funny.
i was in the shower meditating and manifesting myself to be motivated for today and trying to tap into my inner witch lol. then it lowkey backfired cause i’m up at 3am motivated and awake when i should be sleeping LOL.
