Oh what a beautiful story! I have a vision in my mind of such a perfect teaching of the Old Ways. Thank you so much for sharing such a precious memory. I hope one day my children and grandchildren will tell similar stories about their memories of us! Many blessings!
Spinelli Teleski I’m taught by my elder transgender sister witch now calls her a boy, it all started at a party when I was 9. Everyone was outside, I was talking to him, then the topic of paganism came up, he asked why I’m so interested into it, “well, I just am, I really don’t know why” he decided that he’ll teach me and he did a reading on me using runes, he was proud of himself. That started my journey on paganism.
I learned something very profound recently. Well I think it's profound. That spells, altars and magick are as personal as your beliefs. I suddenly had this epiphony that I can actually create my own spells from scratch. I wanted to cry, it was such a discovery. I don't have to buy other peoples spells or supplies. I can make my own. I have the entire RUclips witch community to thank for that. I feel like I'm really starting to understand what it's about. It's not something you teach. You sort of have to learn on your own what really works for YOU. I'm getting excited now about this.
Yay! Absolutely! That is what it's all about! So happy! When that finally happens for you, it's like the greatest confidence boost in the world! No one can tell you you're wrong anymore! And, you know what? You're not wrong cause it works for you and if there's a witch out there telling you otherwise? Usually they are insecure about their own shit! 😜 Congratulations sister and I would do a rededication ritual if I were you but... only if it feels right for you! 😁🤗 Blessed Be! 💙💜🖤🧡
I've gotten white Hanukkah candles on sale and dipped them in reclaimed melted crayons to get the colors I need. Thrifty, earth friendlier than buying all new, and the smell of crayons is so homey and uplifting that I find the spell work more effective.
You can use a big binder with pocket dividers! A section for your book of shadows A section for your Grimuar.A section for your travel alter! You can use page protectors with a zip top for liquids! You can use zip lock bags and put different sizes together and fill them up! There,all your alter supplies together
I want to take a moment and thank you for this series and your other videos. A lot of other videos seem commercialized and fell into the ASMR category. While I appreciate that, that’s not what I’m looking for. Watching your videos I feel like I’m sitting down with a friend and she’s giving it to me how it is. I appreciate it so much and am looking forward to learning more from you. Thank you for putting this information out there for curious souls like me!
I just found you and this is the first video I have ever watched of yours, but I am subscribing. You are so pure and kind, my gut is telling me that you are someone I should definitely follow on my journey into the craft. I don't want to sound weird but it is currently 3:40AM here and I just got done having a mental breakdown over a recent breakup. As soon as I clicked on this video I was back to smiling again, and I hope that you know I very much appreciate you for that. Keep doing what you do, and blessings to you and your loved ones~ ❤
I'm so happy to hear that you have found me on your journey! Do you have Facebook? We have an incredible support system built into our private Facebook group! Click on my about section here andd follow the link! Hope to see you there. It's a closed group which means if you are still in the broom closet no one can see what you are posting there just people who are members. Many blessings on your search for your true path! 💚💜🖤🕯🔮
Love your energy! Thank you for your knowledge Sister 🖤 I am not a beginner BUT these are still great ideas for any witch on a budget (myself)! Blessed be and Merry Yule.
Toni Palmer well it depends how nosy your parents are. Mine aren’t too bad so I can just hide my stuff in a small drawer and use it when my sisters out/at uni. But don’t forget knowledge is the most important thint
This is so helpful! I’m in the process of collecting things to create my altar and I’m so excited to have found such an open, inclusive, lovely person to tell me all about some options! This is the best!
one of the benefits of living in the PNW is the sheer abundance of nature all around me. my house is in a neighborhood yet there is still some wooded area that i could go, as well as a small beach right in my backyard. lavender is also one of the biggest crops in washington state so it grows pretty well here naturally. i am just starting to get into witchcraft and im so lucky to have so many resources right in my own yard!
Merry meet , fellow witch from Scotland here just writing to say I think it's great that you have done all these vids for newbies to the craft I know on my fb I've had quite a few ask a lot of questions and I always tell them to look to nature for theyr tools in the craft . Keep up the great work my sister . Love and light xx
I love the idea of the simplest most natural things representing your elements- like a cup/bowl of water, dirt, feather, and candle, let's say... Or even those lava stones you mentioned for fire. Or sulfer, or even a bunt wooden match. When it comes to say your bowl of dirt I think that you can make it meaningful buy getting it from your yard/home or a place that's meaningful. If you are interested in talking to spirits or the mysteries of life and death, maybe a spoonful from a cemetery, or if you love the beach, beach sand or if you played in a parking lot as a kid, maybe you can go back and find some rocks from there. Its not necessary but it might help some to feel a personal connection to the element...
I can see this video is quite old. I just found you, and feel so peaceful listening to you. I lost all my "witchy items" when we moved. Surprisingly I loaned a book of spells to my mother. She just found it. Anyway I am starting over and on this path. My grandmother was a tarot card reader and held seances. I will have to replay this and take notes.
Welcome home to the Path!! I highly recommend joining our Facebook group as we are all there learning and helping each other out!! Link to the about section!! Thank you so much for watching!! 😘🐿
Omgosh Mama Squirrel! I am just watching this video for the first time and you are soooooo informative and I love your amazing tips. They are priceless. I will keep watching all of your other videos. You are a Amazing!!!!!!
if there are some looking for feathers but can't find any and have a pillow with them in there they could get some out of that and would be good because your energy is laid upon it every time you sleep/dream and energy comes that as well...So i think for some beginners they could use this method like I've known several to do so..Great vid..
Thank you for proving you don't have to go bankrupt practicing spirituality. You've definetly motivated me to get back into it, which has been on my mind for years.
I didn’t realize what I did was witchy as a highschooler. I had a passion for creating shrines. I would create luck shrines towards my favorite sports team. There was inscense, candles hockey stick helmets. I’d listen to the game in the dark with the candles on. Now my shrine is a memorial shrine towards my parents as showing that they are the foundation. I’m surprised my cats do not touch the shrines. Lucky huh
Love your hair! and that you empower new and all witches by letting them know to do what feels right for them. Been on this path for quiet awhile now however I found this video super informative. Will be supscribing and sharing with ppl.
Ive all but stopped watching video's on the craft because of so many insisting that you "must" use this or that or that "this or that expensive thing" is a must.. It is SO refreshing to find someone who is saying otherwise!! As someone in the craft for more years that I care to admit, this is truly very very nice and I couldnt agree more when speaking to a newer crowd.. Keep your bottles, keep your baskets and your boxes and thrift.. Get things from nature.. Do what feels right for you.. All of this is spot on!! Great stuff right here.. Awesome awesome! )0(
@@meichelle2000 i appreciate you for your support and comments i just create a little time to appreciate some of my great fans.how is your family and work?
I just started my journey very recently and was worried about all the expenses 😭 thank you for the enlightenment! I'm still reading and was thinking of getting my supplies later, but with this i think I'll start collecting now so i can start as soon as i feel ready.
You have the same views as me regarding witchcraft, and that’s pretty fuckin cool. I’ve always made my own spells and found my own cheap materials. Sometimes I’ll read other people’s spells for inspiration, but I never follow anything exactly. It annoys me to go into a spell’s comment section and see questions about substitutions-of course you can do it! Witchcraft doesn’t require precision; it requires heart.
Im not necessarily new, but this series gives me life! Ive started rewatching and taking notes! Also, I have totally been raiding your Pinterest boards! You are a wealth of knowledge, thank you for all you do!!!!
The 1st video that introduced me to you and I've gotten so many ideas from you. I've kinda put it all on the back burner because I was so overwhelmed with what I "had to buy" and you taught me what I kind already knew deep down. I've got my alter all but done as to where I thought I wasn't even close. I'm looking forward to watching all of your videos and especially this series. Thank you so much
Aww thank you so much for watching! I'm so happy that you are reinvigorated by this and if you are on Facebook and would like to join our group there? Go to my info page here and click on the link for Facebook!!
I really loved this! not only do I enjoy the warm+laidback energy in these videos, I also appreciated how it was thorough yet not too overwhelming :)) I’m new to the path, and this really helped ease my nerves when it comes to knowing where to start. starting out in the craft can get a little daunting when there’s too many specifics and things like that, so thank you!✨
Absolutely! I have quite a collection now... different woods and sizes and shapes! LOL! Hard to not pick them up all the time! LOL! Blessings to you and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for watching! I love watching beginner videos too as I always find something that I hadn't thought of for a while! LOL! Blessings to you and thanks for watching!
I always feel like I’m doing something wrong because a lot of my spell work is made up on the spot and it seems like everyone else plans their rituals and spells to a T where as I kinda just sit in front of my altar and let it come to me as I’m doing it
Thanks for the info. I have had great success growing lavender in our humid climate by mulching with a single layer of gravel to help keep the underneath of the plant from rotting from too much moisture. Sun heats the gravel, gravel radiates heat up under the plant making for a happier lavender plant. Good luck :)
So happy this channel found me and came into my life. I’m new to everything pagan and witchy and really needed a guide like this~ thank you so much! So many ideas for my soon to be altar(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)
Good Morning!! My favorite little jar is the ones my boyfriend gets his moonshine in the single shot jars! Im always collecting jars and boxes... Im coming back to this life... Im a decendent of Martha Sprague (turner) of the Salem Witch Trials.. Well her dad as Martha never had children.. Thanks for the tip on the feathers!!
Thank you! I started doing a ritual each morning where I thank each element but I was using incense for air and it's hard to quickly lite incense before my classes. I have a glass bell I use in cleansing that I will add instead of the incense. Thank you for the great tips for this poor college student!
Omgggggg I got really excited when you said you found those stones around lake Ontario because I live close enough to go there AND it means I've finally found another Canadian witch! I'm getting way too excite lol
Walmart’s patchouli leaves is amazing!! Full moon nag champa and sensual therapy are good- the others not so good- in my opinion. Hem incense is amazing and comes in MANY varieties( Black Magick, fairy dreams, saffron, pagan Magick, clove , blessings, healing are some of my favorites)Satya nag champa, super hit, patchouli forest, midnight, are fantastic- they burn a long time. Nadia at Lady James Bewitchery makes fabulous incense- Morrigan and Witches Apple are my faves. The Dipper is also a great place for incense. Just a few of my favorite incense. Great video. Everything you need can really be found in nature or made. Many blessings
YES! I adore most patchouli incense but most people either LOVE patchouli or hate it! LOL! I will have to check out Lady James, I don't think I know her? Thank you for the suggestion! Blessings to you and thank you for watching!
Well welcome to the path! If you are interested in being in our Facebook group the link is in my about page. It's a private group and we help each other out a bunch! 🔮💜🖤💙💚
I found you through Jennifer Ball's Spiritual Garage. Lots of great information here. Love your chicken feathers. I went on etsy and found a lady that collects the naturally shed feathers from her pet chickens, cleans and sells them. I bought some beautiful ones for my altar.
Absolutely! They are just wonderful! I am so happy to have you watching! Jennifer is definitely my soul sister! Thank you for watching and please let me know if there is anything you'd like to see! Blessings!
I've found this video and you seem so wise and nice to me! Even though I already knew most of these things I have to admit that sometimes it's hard for me to integrate basic natural ingredients for my spellwork so you inspire me to keep on trying. I found my path as a witch one year ago and I already moved to a great city so it's not easy sometimes. So there's the struggle of enjoying and living nature but having and wanting to live in the big city. At least I feel successful with my divination skills and that's a motivating factor. So I keep working on it! Thank you for your videos!
So glad to have you watching! I have been a witch for over 10 years now and I am still learning new things every day! Absolutely, it is hard to keep a balance with nature in a big city but it sounds like you are aware of trying to keep the balance and that's half the battle! Please let me know if there is anything you'd like to see on this channel and so many blessings to you!
Thanks, be blessed too! I will look up your other videos step by step. It's like I want to know everything but I realized that it takes you backwards when you are trying too many things at once, especially at a fast pace. Witchcraft is an old and traditional way which takes a lot of time and the learning process never ends, just like you said. I don't know if you made a video about your first years as a witch but I would find that to be very inspiring! I wish I'd know other witches who live nearby for sharing experiences but I'm grateful for the communication here at RUclips. So thanks to you!
I did do a video about how I started very recently. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/gjUj325SA40/видео.html Did you try Witch Vox? They have a very good list of witches. If you put in your state or country you can see if any witches live near you! Blessings!
I hope you read this!!! I have always been drawn to the idea of being a witch and I feel as though that the older I get the more I am drawn to it. I cant ignore it anymore. I just wish I could have some guidance and some help to breakdown exacly what I may need or even what area of witchcraft I'm wanting to do. Thank you for all the info!!!
Caitlin I hear you! If you are on Facebook can I suggest joining our Facebook group called Wyllowwynd's Thrifty Witchin' ? It's a closed group which means no one can see what you talk about there and we have really started a fabulous group of people that help each other out. Thank you for watching! Blessings! Let me know!
I use rock & sea salt, tons of herbs in garden. Insence plenty of Asian stores close by. BOS being written, a new is added when required. I made my own wands and added amethysts to them, corals, crystals, athame was a letter opener for my first. I still have it. BB
So glad I found your channel. I started with the craft a few years ago but I strayed after a period of depression. It feels so good to be back and although I’m relatively new, I’m still confident that I have a calling even though it’s late in my life. Thank you for this wonderful informative video. I’m a new subscriber and I look forward to seeing your videos. Just one thing, I’m not into writing, I have a book of shadows but I very rarely write in it. Just doesn’t resonate with me. Is that ok? Please help. Thanks and blessed be!
I would reccomend not going to Salvation Army because they don't serve LGBTQ+ hom s Edit: also, thank the tree you take a branch from ♥️ Edit 2: I work at the zoo with Peacocks who roam around so we have like 3 buckets of peacock feathers 😂
Yay! Welcome! If you are on Facebook feel free to join the Facebook group! If you go to my channel main page and click on the little Facebook link it will take you there! The two questions for entry are: Are you subscribed here? And What is your RUclips name? We really have a blast in there and it's a great group who help each other out and we'd love to have you! Blessings!
Water I have necklace of shells Earth : a basket of stones( I still don't know if they're a type of gemstone ,or not) sea salt Fire a dragon statuette/knives Air: a sword cane ( the sword itself)
I used to collect the feathers that my pet chickens would shed. Im gonna use some of them(if i have the heart to do so, they sadly died) Maybe they'll be more effective due to me having a stronger connection to them?
I really enjoyed this beginner series.. can you recommend a good beginner tarot book. I can't seem to stay focused when I read about the different cards.. its information overload! thanks!
Don't feel bad about having a tough time with Lavender - it's hard to get many seeds to germinate and can be temperamental under the best conditions. It does like alkaline soil, so use a bit of horticultural lime if you're east of the Miss'i
Thank you for the tip! I will have to remember that. I was considering starting a pot indoors but I'm not sure how it would do? Any thoughts? Thanks for watching and Blessings to you!
Thank you so much for watching! I am so happy you find my accent likeable! LOL! (Of course, I don't think I have an accent!) Hehe!! Many blessings to you!
Great video! I find a lot of my stuff shopping at thrift stores and dollar stores or walmart lol. I do love magick and witchy subscription boxes though and have tried out a couple different ones and gotten some really cool stuff that way I probably wouldn't have thought of getting for myself.
Oh wow! Just subscribed! I'm in England but I'm making notes to find some of your American stuff on eBay! For example those Hanukkah candles...I didn't know about those! Or chime candles, not heard of those either! I have tons of lavender, luckily it grows easily here. I'll be looking for you on Pinterest now as well! 😁 After watching the rest of this video set of course! 🌟🌝🌜
I’m late to the party but yes lavender doesn’t like a lot of water. It is drought tolerant and loves the sun. Do not over water it and it will really expand and bloom and you won’t be able to keep up. (Water it every now and then. I hardly ever water mine.) Does fine in a pot too. And lavender attracts bees and butterflies too which is just a bonus!
Loved this
Oh what a beautiful story! I have a vision in my mind of such a perfect teaching of the Old Ways. Thank you so much for sharing such a precious memory. I hope one day my children and grandchildren will tell similar stories about their memories of us! Many blessings!

@@MamaSquirrelsWitchyWisdom Hello beautiful it's my pleasure to meet you
Good herbs to have for beginners in my opinion:
- sage
- mugwort
- rosemary
- lavender
- basil
- mint
- spearmint
- cinnamon
- cinnamon sticks
Thank you :))
citronella is a good one too for outside work...And it also smells so sweet and yet is good for some many things other than just keeping bugs away...
Kay Peace - oooh I’ll have to check that out
that's the oil, not the herb...im unsure of the plant I'll have to check on that...
Go figure i have wild peppermint around my pond 😆
Lavender growing tip: mix half potting soil and half sand. It helps you to keep from over watering.
Oh thank you sooo much! I will do that next year for sure cause this year it just never took.... So appreciate the tip! Blessings to you!

You can use page protectors with a zip top for liquids! You can use zip lock bags and put different sizes together and fill them up! There,all your alter supplies together
You can also use any candle holder or plate even. You can just melt the bottom of the candle and stick it to the surface.

Hi
Store bought feathers: sage and put them on your windowsills in the moonlight and/or sunlight. Dyed or not, they will be charged.
This was so helpful for a beginner like me, thank you!🤘✌
i appreciate you for your support and comments i just create a little time to appreciate some of my great fans.how is your family and work?
You inspired me 😍

Lots of love and light from Kenya Africa 🇰🇪❤❤

I really loved this! not only do I enjoy the warm+laidback energy in these videos, I also appreciated how it was thorough yet not too overwhelming :)) I’m new to the path, and this really helped ease my nerves when it comes to knowing where to start. starting out in the craft can get a little daunting when there’s too many specifics and things like that, so thank you!✨
FINALLY getting to watch your Witch on a Budget Series! I LOVE this idea! So much GOOD stuff! Never heard the story of the acorn. Love IT!
Hello beautiful it's my pleasure to meet you
Im gonna cry how nice this community is
I’m so happy I found your videos on RUclips. Very informative and helpful for a beginning witch, like myself.
Used candle jars or metal tins that hot chocolate came in etc. are a great things for storage for herbs etc.
Don't use candle jars unless you know the glass is food safe.
I love this. I go outside and collect sticks all the time. 😊
Absolutely! I have quite a collection now... different woods and sizes and shapes! LOL! Hard to not pick them up all the time! LOL! Blessings to you and thanks for watching!
Blue Dawn (regular, no scent) dish soap is good for cleaning feathers too.
I like birthday candles too! And for a candle holder I put dirt in a jar because we have very clay soil type where I am.
I’m not at all new to the path, but I love this video. I found myself nodding in agreement throughout.
Thank you so much for watching! I love watching beginner videos too as I always find something that I hadn't thought of for a while! LOL! Blessings to you and thanks for watching!
Me three
I always feel like I’m doing something wrong because a lot of my spell work is made up on the spot and it seems like everyone else plans their rituals and spells to a T where as I kinda just sit in front of my altar and let it come to me as I’m doing it
Just record what you do then you can refer to it and repeat it or improve. That will give you more structure to spell work that is authentic to you :)
Thanks for the info. I have had great success growing lavender in our humid climate by mulching with a single layer of gravel to help keep the underneath of the plant from rotting from too much moisture. Sun heats the gravel, gravel radiates heat up under the plant making for a happier lavender plant. Good luck :)
So happy this channel found me and came into my life. I’m new to everything pagan and witchy and really needed a guide like this~ thank you so much! So many ideas for my soon to be altar(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)
Thank you so much for your video!!! I’m a newbie witch and videos like that help tremendously!!! Sending hugs and lots of love 💕
Mayo takes labels on glass easily
Good Morning!! My favorite little jar is the ones my boyfriend gets his moonshine in the single shot jars! Im always collecting jars and boxes... Im coming back to this life... Im a decendent of Martha Sprague (turner) of the Salem Witch Trials.. Well her dad as Martha never had children.. Thanks for the tip on the feathers!!
This was so very helpful! Thank you!
I love your video. I am a thrift shopper and have found so many cool things for my altars. You have given me some ideas. :)
Thank you! I started doing a ritual each morning where I thank each element but I was using incense for air and it's hard to quickly lite incense before my classes. I have a glass bell I use in cleansing that I will add instead of the incense. Thank you for the great tips for this poor college student!
You are wonderful. Love it. I am new at this and have a small budget. You inspire me. Thank you ❤️
Hi
I use beaded charms to represent the elements
Omgggggg I got really excited when you said you found those stones around lake Ontario because I live close enough to go there AND it means I've finally found another Canadian witch! I'm getting way too excite lol
Walmart’s patchouli leaves is amazing!! Full moon nag champa and sensual therapy are good- the others not so good- in my opinion. Hem incense is amazing and comes in MANY varieties( Black Magick, fairy dreams, saffron, pagan Magick, clove , blessings, healing are some of my favorites)Satya nag champa, super hit, patchouli forest, midnight, are fantastic- they burn a long time. Nadia at Lady James Bewitchery makes fabulous incense- Morrigan and Witches Apple are my faves. The Dipper is also a great place for incense. Just a few of my favorite incense. Great video. Everything you need can really be found in nature or made. Many blessings
YES! I adore most patchouli incense but most people either LOVE patchouli or hate it! LOL! I will have to check out Lady James, I don't think I know her? Thank you for the suggestion! Blessings to you and thank you for watching!
You have such a beautiful soul. I am just getting into Wicca & this video was very helpful to me.
Well welcome to the path! If you are interested in being in our Facebook group the link is in my about page. It's a private group and we help each other out a bunch! 🔮💜🖤💙💚
I’m so glad I found this series! Can’t wait to dive into the rest of these videos 💕
Thank you for this! You are very inspiring and knowledgeable.
Just discovered your channel and love it. You're so easy to listen too and have lots of fun tips. :)
Hello nice to meet you
a bell and journal is a must also...I think so...if, not the drums...or a singing bowl...
Hi , I am a new subscriber . I loved how you explained everything so simply . I 'm new to altars. This was fun . Thanks again xx
You are so welcome! If you are interested we have a Facebook group that you can join! Lonk is in the "about" page on my profile. ❤
i appreciate you for your support and comments i just create a little time to appreciate some of my great fans.how is your family and work?
Those wishing stones are so beautiful 😍
I found you through Jennifer Ball's Spiritual Garage. Lots of great information here. Love your chicken feathers. I went on etsy and found a lady that collects the naturally shed feathers from her pet chickens, cleans and sells them. I bought some beautiful ones for my altar.
Absolutely! They are just wonderful! I am so happy to have you watching! Jennifer is definitely my soul sister! Thank you for watching and please let me know if there is anything you'd like to see! Blessings!
I subscribed! And thank you so much for this great content. I love your easy relaxed video style.
I've found this video and you seem so wise and nice to me!
Even though I already knew most of these things I have to admit that sometimes it's hard for me to integrate basic natural ingredients for my spellwork so you inspire me to keep on trying. I found my path as a witch one year ago and I already moved to a great city so it's not easy sometimes. So there's the struggle of enjoying and living nature but having and wanting to live in the big city. At least I feel successful with my divination skills and that's a motivating factor. So I keep working on it! Thank you for your videos!
So glad to have you watching! I have been a witch for over 10 years now and I am still learning new things every day! Absolutely, it is hard to keep a balance with nature in a big city but it sounds like you are aware of trying to keep the balance and that's half the battle! Please let me know if there is anything you'd like to see on this channel and so many blessings to you!
Thanks, be blessed too!
I will look up your other videos step by step. It's like I want to know everything but I realized that it takes you backwards when you are trying too many things at once, especially at a fast pace. Witchcraft is an old and traditional way which takes a lot of time and the learning process never ends, just like you said.
I don't know if you made a video about your first years as a witch but I would find that to be very inspiring!
I wish I'd know other witches who live nearby for sharing experiences but I'm grateful for the communication here at RUclips. So thanks to you!
I did do a video about how I started very recently. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/gjUj325SA40/видео.html Did you try Witch Vox? They have a very good list of witches. If you put in your state or country you can see if any witches live near you! Blessings!
A cup, a black handled knife, a candle, a few sticks of incense, and a notebook with a pen. That's it.
I hope you read this!!! I have always been drawn to the idea of being a witch and I feel as though that the older I get the more I am drawn to it. I cant ignore it anymore. I just wish I could have some guidance and some help to breakdown exacly what I may need or even what area of witchcraft I'm wanting to do. Thank you for all the info!!!
Caitlin I hear you! If you are on Facebook can I suggest joining our Facebook group called Wyllowwynd's Thrifty Witchin' ? It's a closed group which means no one can see what you talk about there and we have really started a fabulous group of people that help each other out. Thank you for watching! Blessings! Let me know!
I use rock & sea salt, tons of herbs in garden. Insence plenty of Asian stores close by. BOS being written, a new is added when required. I made my own wands and added amethysts to them, corals, crystals, athame was a letter opener for my first. I still have it. BB
Thank you for your advice!
So glad I found your channel. I started with the craft a few years ago but I strayed after a period of depression. It feels so good to be back and although I’m relatively new, I’m still confident that I have a calling even though it’s late in my life. Thank you for this wonderful informative video. I’m a new subscriber and I look forward to seeing your videos. Just one thing, I’m not into writing, I have a book of shadows but I very rarely write in it. Just doesn’t resonate with me. Is that ok? Please help. Thanks and blessed be!
for earth representation, I just either use one of my crystals or my smudging bowl made of soapstone with my palo santo, sage, and sea salt in it.
Fantastic, so much information. I can't wait to watch the second instalment :)
Yay! Glad you like it! Many blessings!
Wow never knew about acorns. Thank you for the information 💕
You are lovely, and I’m so happy I found you!
I would reccomend not going to Salvation Army because they don't serve LGBTQ+ hom s
Edit: also, thank the tree you take a branch from ♥️
Edit 2: I work at the zoo with Peacocks who roam around so we have like 3 buckets of peacock feathers 😂
You have such pretty hair 😍ps I love that peacock 🦚 windchime !
HECK YEAH GREAT LAKES! many blessings from MI xoxo
Thank you! you have given me so many inspirational ideas ✨
I used double shot glasses filled with sand that I collected at the beach to hold my little candles.
Buckeyes - I live in Central OH!! OMG!! I love Pinterest!! I joined it when you had to have permission to join.
Loved the video! 💕💕💕💕
Wow I really connected with this video and your energy💗
I just found your channel and I'm so excited.
Yay! Welcome! If you are on Facebook feel free to join the Facebook group! If you go to my channel main page and click on the little Facebook link it will take you there! The two questions for entry are: Are you subscribed here? And What is your RUclips name? We really have a blast in there and it's a great group who help each other out and we'd love to have you! Blessings!
Water I have necklace of shells
Earth : a basket of stones( I still don't know if they're a type of gemstone ,or not) sea salt
Fire a dragon statuette/knives
Air: a sword cane ( the sword itself)
Can you have more than one of each element symbol on your altar? For example for water element multiple things like rocks, snow water etc...
Why couldn’t you?
I used to collect the feathers that my pet chickens would shed. Im gonna use some of them(if i have the heart to do so, they sadly died) Maybe they'll be more effective due to me having a stronger connection to them?
I really enjoyed this beginner series.. can you recommend a good beginner tarot book. I can't seem to stay focused when I read about the different cards.. its information overload! thanks!
i appreciate you for your support and comments i just create a little time to appreciate some of my great fans.how is your family and work?
Don't feel bad about having a tough time with Lavender - it's hard to get many seeds to germinate and can be temperamental under the best conditions. It does like alkaline soil, so use a bit of horticultural lime if you're east of the Miss'i
Thank you for the tip! I will have to remember that. I was considering starting a pot indoors but I'm not sure how it would do? Any thoughts? Thanks for watching and Blessings to you!
Hello nice to meet you
very helpful video, thank you for making it! also i really like your accent, its very soothing!
Thank you so much for watching! I am so happy you find my accent likeable! LOL! (Of course, I don't think I have an accent!) Hehe!! Many blessings to you!
I absolutely love sea glass!
i appreciate you for your support and comments i just create a little time to appreciate some of my great fans.how is your family and work?
You are a very sweet woman WyllowWynd. Blessings to you.
Great video! I find a lot of my stuff shopping at thrift stores and dollar stores or walmart lol. I do love magick and witchy subscription boxes though and have tried out a couple different ones and gotten some really cool stuff that way I probably wouldn't have thought of getting for myself.
i appreciate you for your support and comments i just create a little time to appreciate some of my great fans.how is your family and work?
Jen, How about a video on How to Charm Jewelry ?
Oh wow! Just subscribed! I'm in England but I'm making notes to find some of your American stuff on eBay! For example those Hanukkah candles...I didn't know about those! Or chime candles, not heard of those either! I have tons of lavender, luckily it grows easily here. I'll be looking for you on Pinterest now as well! 😁 After watching the rest of this video set of course! 🌟🌝🌜

I’m late to the party but yes lavender doesn’t like a lot of water. It is drought tolerant and loves the sun.
Do not over water it and it will really expand and bloom and you won’t be able to keep up. (Water it every now and then. I hardly ever water mine.) Does fine in a pot too.
And lavender attracts bees and butterflies too which is just a bonus!
Tried and tried to get lavender to grow in my garden. Won't take. I bought two large potted lavender plants, they didn't survive the winter INDOORS.
Druid Riley hmm, lavender is really hardy for me.
@@forestfairy352 - I guess it's about getting it established. I've tried from seed and I've tried from living plants and it just won't take.
