“Be prepared to be discriminated against” *Thinks back to the isolation of my middle and elementary school I went through that molded me into a lone wolf* I don’t think I care about more discrimination.
"Be prepared to be discriminated against" Hmmm. Where have I heard that before as I casually look in the mirror as a bisexual Latino possibly transgendered person
I have been scowering every pagan store/ website to try and find a book to help with this for the past year, thank you Raven I really appreciate what you are doing with this.
I was never a fan of Harry Potter, but I did have a few experiences with witches. They explained certain energies and feelings that others thought I was crazy for talking about. And I had a strange inclination that christianity isnt exactly right, with every separate religion in christianity like Lutheran Methodist Baptist and catholic. They all preach different things calling it the same.
"Be prepared to be discriminated against" *me, an adult, androgynous goth with half their head shaved that lives in a conservative area of the Bible Belt.* I've trained my whole life for this. Kinda literally.
This will be interesting to watch Since I was a child I’ve always been taught that witchcraft and such was bad or evil by tons of people, but as a man in search for knowledge I wish to know the truth and learn more
As a fellow witch (who's been practicing for four years), I am incredibly excited for your series and to see your own takes on the craft! Hopefully I can learn something from you my friend.
I made my own OC character for that hazbeen universe he is not cannon (yet) his name is Outburst Why he went to hell:killed his abusive old brother when he finale Snapped as his brother beat him up Died: when his brother’s friends got revenge on him bye burning his car while he was in it Personality: he very nice but if antagonize Enough he has violent outbursts hints his name weapon: he wields twin glocks Looks: he has coal black skin because he was burned to death his hair is a dark violet and he has ram horns that are hot red and wears a hoodie that is hot red and says outburst in violet and wears violet jeans lived 1990-2011
As a fellow OC/FC creator, this is a good start. I recommend some improvements, for example I feel you went a little wild on the colors and imagining them, I can already tell they're likely gonna clash. To improve on the pallet, look up color theory (there are videos for beginners on RUclips if you're confused where to begin) and aside from that, you have a pretty good FC on your hands. Also, I think the word you were looking for isn't hints, it's hence. Simple mistake, I understand. I made it before as well. OC - Original Character. Indicates that the character is not part of a pre-existing universe. FC - Fan Character. Indicates that the character is part of a pre-existing universe.
Omg I’m early? Also I’ve been deciding if I wanna start doing witchcraft out of curiosity and just finding it interesting. But I think this really made me wanna start. So thank you ^^
"Be prepared to be discriminated against" Me who is a lesbian, atheist person in a mostly Christian country: ok then *starts taking notes Edit: I wanna go to Hogwarts so I need to learn as much as I can, magic is magic
This will come in handy for me coming from a all Christian family I never felt like I belonged in that religion. After many people in the church taught the fact that having a opinion is wrong. I’ve decided this is the best bet to find a better place for myself and I’ve officially called myself a baby witch. But I never told anyone that I’m into witchcraft or paganism. So this will definitely be a long ride! Thanks Blueraven666!
As someone who is agnostic but was raised in a mostly Christian family, I want to say that as long as your practices are ethical, you are free to do whatever you want. But, I have been recently more fascinated with ghosts and the paranormal. So, this channel gets a 10/10
Omg I so hyped for this series I’m a baby witch and I don’t really know anything when it’s comes to paganism or witchcraft I so glad you decided to start this series I’ll finally get to learn stuff
Ah, yes... I definitely need practice... A series that'll actually help me doing it... Excited? Yes... Prepared? Absolutely not... Am I gonna do it? HELL YEAH!!!
I know I’m late to this video, but I just wanted to say thank you for starting this series! I’m still not sure if witchcraft is or isn’t for me, but either way it’s still nice to learn new things, and maybe it will help me make up my mind
I want to watch shop with my cousin me and her really got into it and ever since we’ve been going down to the store and buying ingredients for special bottles that’s all I’ve really done I know it’s not much The ladies at the shop said well you have to begin somewhere they were really nice and then even know our names by heart now it’s really nice of them.
Im so glad youre uploading this. I want to add always use protection because you dont want to leave the barndoor open so a wave if lower unwanted parasite astral entities and whatnot can get in and harrass or outright attach to you. You want to control the experience, not have it control you. Saying this to all the newbies out there. Sure, there are higher realm spirits that can help, but you have to do the work on your end too. You dont want to call on a deity and get an imposter, a random ghost or lower demon instead.
I saw your witchtok stuff and tried getting in to it but it became really hard, and now I have a reliable source from the person who got me into it in the first place? Awsome! Thanks for this raven
For me,there's really something fascinating about being warned against "non beneficiary" stuff and this is one of those. Though I may not tap on this one but I'd like to know more and understand on this and see what happens next. I believe I could understand more by your experience,since you're informative but in organized way type of content creator,I think. I'm forward for your playlist and channel to progress. More kudos to you 😊
I’m really excited for this series! I don’t know if ghosts are good or bad but that’s why I want to learn and to start something that has more adventure, not just something “normal”
omg i am here after finding you through your hazbin hotel content and i must say, i am absolutely stoked to know you're a witch and look forward to getting to see what comes next in this series!! :3
This sounds interesting! I'm not sure if I wanna become a witch, but I'll wait and see. You made it interesting for me with your video about the 101 about witchcraft. ^^
Deities Blue Raven has worked with: Lucifer, Raum and Asmodeus Despite Christianity and other Abrahamic religions being the mainstream and the societal norms for many, there are those people who feel like it’s simply just not for them. And that is fine. It’s perfectly healthy for someone to question beliefs and look for what else is out there. The problem, however, is finding reliable sources to turn to for information. That’s why pagan practices and religion can feel so overwhelming and confusing, because the information that is provided by actual pagans is a mixed bag, and what the mainstream media pitches to the forefront makes pagans look downright delusional or dangerous. How many times have you come across a story about a pagan cult that sacrifices animals or hurts innocent people for whatever deities they worship? Chances are, people will say “one too many,” or “too many to count.” However, the truth is that the vast majority of pagans and practitioners of witchcraft are actually harmless. In fact, a lot of them shun those who set out to do harm to people or animals and who give pagans a bad name all across the globe. Blue Raven 666 is starting this series for the people who are just starting the path into becoming a witch. His goal is to provide information based on his personal experience that is easy to grasp and digest. Like anything else that needs to be built, you need to have a good solid foundation for you to build on top of. He will be covering a wide variety of topics such as pantheons, deities, spirits, crystals, self-care, and so much more. All the while teaching you in a way that is safe and gives you the freedom to move on in your own direction. Now the first thing that you need to be aware of is that there is no one, right, tried-and-true textbook way of becoming a witch or a pagan. We all have our own stories and our own experiences. Some of our experiences might hold some similarity, but not everyone’s is the same. There are some people out there who will put others down for this. Keep in mind that this is your journey and no one else’s. Your experiences will be no less valid than theirs. You are not them. You are unique and an individual. This journey can get pretty intense and scary at times. There are plenty of things that can go wrong when working with spirits and deities and spells. That’s where all the horror stories come from involving demons and ghosts and curses. He will do his best in helping you avoid these mistakes. That being said, this is a journey, and will most likely be hard, lengthy and boring. But understand that it is a part you need to get through at your own pace in order to be in it for the long haul. Exciting or not, everything in this series will prove to be extremely useful later on down the line. Before Blue Raven’s series officially begins, there are several things to keep in mind. First off, this isn’t going to be something you’re going to be able to achieve overnight. This is not going to take a day, a week or even a year for you to learn everything you need to know. Blue Raven’s been practicing for seven + years and he doesn’t know everything. The point of this series isn’t to turn you into a professional witch overnight, but provide you with the basics in order to get started. Another thing to keep in mind is that this isn’t going to be like it is in movies and TV. If you like Harry Potter and are interested in witchcraft because of it, that’s fine but this isn’t going to be like that. Here’s the hard truth: be prepared to be discriminated against. By many (but not all) Christians who think you’re doing “the devil’s work,” by other pagans who think you’re doing it wrong, it’s going to happen. At some point, someone is going to judge you based on your beliefs, no matter how much you try to explain yourself to them. Eventually, you’ll grow accustomed to it but it’s basically a given to anyone who chooses to walk the so called “left hand path.” Lastly, no two witches are the same! No two pagans are the same! There is no cookie-cutter mold that you should be forcing yourself into. He will teach you based on his experiences and his journey. If at any point you feel like his way of teaching is not for you, you are free to drop out of his lessons whenever you like. Go at your own pace! His playlist and videos won’t be going anywhere. Don’t burn yourself out into thinking you have to learn everything. The next lesson in this series will be about different pantheons. Have your pen and notepad ready because we’ll be unpacking a lot!
Very interesting topic! I sometimes share photos on an asexual Paganism page on Facebook, plus I've made a few stories and articles regarding the topic as well.
Raven. If you see this. I’m a seer. I use normal playing cards for tarot readings and I drew your past present and future. 7♠️ 4 ♦️Jack ♣️. How I read clubs is more related to friends and popularity so you and stardust are gonna grow. Sub count wise as far as I see
So, question: do you think you'd feel comfortable setting up an email that people could send questions to if they don't feel comfortable asking something in the comments? If it's something you wouldn't want to do it's cool, just something I was thinking about after watching the video!
"You will be discriminated against" Me, a Latino 15 year old guy who's Roman Catholic: I'm already discriminated for my Religion's history, I've been called a rapist a few times and/or child molester just because I'm Catholic. So i guess i already am discriminated to some extent
Despite living in the Southern U.S., I've not faced any discrimination for my craft. Course that may be because the only people I've told have always been extremely close friends. Not to say anyone else WON'T face it, that's stupid. Imma massive ass derp, and it has caused some issues in the past. I used to have a far bigger problem with being angry and quick to become defensive and still do at times to this day. And it led to me not realizing 'witch' was a not discriminitory. In fact after telling a friend who was full on Wiccan(I'm only Wiccan/Christian, please don't hate I try not to do stupid shit), he told the family of the girl who called me a witch. They apparently explained how my religion worked on a basic level to her, as she apologized the next day. I know it was her family, because she told me. Just wish I could apologize for being an overdramatic dumbass, but oh well. The reason I keep quiet about my craft is because I don't wanna hear any stupid shit come out of some ignorant stranger's mouth, whom I'd likely give two flying fucks about anyway. I have a very much Christian friend who has given a bible to me once and expressed concerns about not seeing me in the afterlife due to my path. But to his credit, he doesn't do it anymore. He has also, never tried to force my hand. Was always gentle about it before eventually realizing I wouldn't change my mind on it. Perhaps his prayers will actually mean something for my future. I have faith I'll be accepted, despite my chosen path in life and the fact I don't really pray for anything from God at all. I just go about my day where I can and practice when and what I feel necessary. Just getting extra knowledge that I may or may not incorporate. Course getting away from my friend whom despite his concerns I care deeply about and consider family, my highly devout Aunt is something else entirely. Hell I'm sure it's her fault, and partially an ex of hers' fault, that my Mom is a born again Christian these days. My Aunt has ALWAYS been one to judge one's path of life, my Mother being her favorite target for YEARS. Despite the fact they are SISTERS! She got on my Mom's case for years over her former Wiccan path, is VERY hypocritical at times in that while she doesn't condone what the Westboro Baptist Church did to the families of those who died during the Orlando shooting years ago, she'll still not want her kids to catch the gay. Yeah she told me of a gay man she and her husband(now ex) were 'friendly' with and accepted into their church. But wouldn't allow to come around their house because they didn't want their kids exposed to him. Major F in chat for that one, just yikes. But that's the worst thing, no no no. I hate her for one damn reason alone, something I refuse to forgive her for. During a family gathering, one where my Mom was unable to be there for her own reasons, my Aunt decided to tell me the following thing during our conversation (which had been surprisingly good aside from the Gay man story she told me). Bare in mind, she had the gall to say this truly STUPID SHIT after I told her I wish my Mom could be at the gathering and that I missed her. "I'm sorry your Mother wasn't the Mother she should've been. I hope she changes her wicked ways, and gets back with your Dad." At that point I was so angry I just silently listened, I knew if I said anything it'd be over. I stewed all the way home, and regrettably didn't tell my Mother for months after the fact. But after some thought and encouragement from friends, I realized she deserved to know what her own flesh and blood had said. No matter if at the time they'd just started to talk again. Mom was pissed off of course, and more years of no contact happened. They're talking again, but Mom keeps her distance and stays careful with her personal life despite loving her sister still. Funny enough though, I think karma hit her pretty damn well last year. Her own husband got sick of her shit because their children got pushed away by her crazy antics. So now she can't give my Mom crap about the divorce my parents had anymore, HAHA! I won't lie, I laughed my ass off hearing the news and had been rooting for my cousins to avoid her like the plague for years before then. Hell, she even threw a pity party on Facebook, and even our most devout family ignored her. It was extremely cathartic let me tell you. Course I wish her elder kid had stayed away from her. Unfortunately he came crawling back after causing an accident that killed two people and their dog. Won't say any other details beyond that for his own sake. Due to him crawling back to his Mother, being bailed out by Daddy, and his Mother trying to get her son out of punishment through supreme court because he'd 'seen a God and had repented blah blah blah' I can't look at him the same way anymore. Also sidenote, even my Christian friend thinks my Aunt is a nutter, for anyone doubting his intent. Forgive the massive ass spiels both here and EVERYWHERE else on this channel. I just feel that safe sharing here as no one has judged me once for it. Thank you guys in this community for that and thank you too @BlueRaven666. Hopefully the @ function still works on RUclips Mobile. If not tell me how to properly 'tag' RUclipsrs pretty please. Again sorry for the MASSIVE spiel. Thank you and blessed be.
Also forgive Grammar issues, phone keyboard screws me over constantly. Especially with long paragraphs of text. Seriously whoever made the keyboard smaller needs a reality check. Even my tiny hands can't handle what they fucked up.
I'm not into witchcraft but I think something is wrong with my house. We have chocolate bars and every day we find them scattered around the house. One time my brother was petting our cat and he heard knocking on the cabinet. Idk what's happening. (And yes the chocolate bars were in the same exact place every time it happened)
I'm not sure if I actually want to do something with this, but I can't deny I've been curious about it for years, so I'd like to give this a try. I'm also curious about Tarot reading, since right now going out isn't the best idea, is there a site, web page or channel you would recommend to learn more of that, Blue?
I have a question. You know those entities you talked about who try to get your attention. Like a faint voice? Can they sound of any age? Because I swear, I was in the car once and I heard the voice of a little girl call my name. I didnt acknowledge it but it felt very off once I heard it.
I am here and i don’t why people think that if you are in a different belief they just here away from you, for example, witchcraft, pegans and Vietnam’s religion (I forgot the name of the religion) this is very much laugh at or just get frightening, this is very discriminating.
How to even get started? I mean, as much as my grandmother from my father's side, cares for me and the rest of her grandchildren, I've already shown signs of being a disappointment to our family religion. note; my father is Muslim and my mother is Christian. So, I'm basically half. Ironic as it may be, I have come to be interested in the Egyptian pantheons, which Egypt was conquered by the Arabs long ago and now is 90% an Islamic country today.

Don’t burn yourself out into thinking you have to learn everything.
The next lesson in this series will be about different pantheons. Have your pen and notepad ready because we’ll be unpacking a lot!
Thank you! I really want to be a witch but never new how to start
I like the video looking forward to the next video blueraven🐶
Very interesting topic! I sometimes share photos on an asexual Paganism page on Facebook, plus I've made a few stories and articles regarding the topic as well.

Raven. If you see this. I’m a seer. I use normal playing cards for tarot readings and I drew your past present and future. 7♠️ 4 ♦️Jack ♣️. How I read clubs is more related to friends and popularity so you and stardust are gonna grow. Sub count wise as far as I see

Yay pantheon time!!!
So, question: do you think you'd feel comfortable setting up an email that people could send questions to if they don't feel comfortable asking something in the comments? If it's something you wouldn't want to do it's cool, just something I was thinking about after watching the video!
I'm aware of these concepts, but I wanna know more
"You will be discriminated against"
Me, a Latino 15 year old guy who's Roman Catholic: I'm already discriminated for my Religion's history, I've been called a rapist a few times and/or child molester just because I'm Catholic. So i guess i already am discriminated to some extent
Excellent intro video
Raven: Be prepared to be discriminated against.
Me: What's the difference? People do that these days anyway!
Despite living in the Southern U.S., I've not faced any discrimination for my craft. Course that may be because the only people I've told have always been extremely close friends. Not to say anyone else WON'T face it, that's stupid.
Imma massive ass derp, and it has caused some issues in the past. I used to have a far bigger problem with being angry and quick to become defensive and still do at times to this day. And it led to me not realizing 'witch' was a not discriminitory. In fact after telling a friend who was full on Wiccan(I'm only Wiccan/Christian, please don't hate I try not to do stupid shit), he told the family of the girl who called me a witch. They apparently explained how my religion worked on a basic level to her, as she apologized the next day. I know it was her family, because she told me. Just wish I could apologize for being an overdramatic dumbass, but oh well.
The reason I keep quiet about my craft is because I don't wanna hear any stupid shit come out of some ignorant stranger's mouth, whom I'd likely give two flying fucks about anyway. I have a very much Christian friend who has given a bible to me once and expressed concerns about not seeing me in the afterlife due to my path. But to his credit, he doesn't do it anymore. He has also, never tried to force my hand. Was always gentle about it before eventually realizing I wouldn't change my mind on it. Perhaps his prayers will actually mean something for my future. I have faith I'll be accepted, despite my chosen path in life and the fact I don't really pray for anything from God at all. I just go about my day where I can and practice when and what I feel necessary. Just getting extra knowledge that I may or may not incorporate. Course getting away from my friend whom despite his concerns I care deeply about and consider family, my highly devout Aunt is something else entirely. Hell I'm sure it's her fault, and partially an ex of hers' fault, that my Mom is a born again Christian these days.
My Aunt has ALWAYS been one to judge one's path of life, my Mother being her favorite target for YEARS. Despite the fact they are SISTERS! She got on my Mom's case for years over her former Wiccan path, is VERY hypocritical at times in that while she doesn't condone what the Westboro Baptist Church did to the families of those who died during the Orlando shooting years ago, she'll still not want her kids to catch the gay. Yeah she told me of a gay man she and her husband(now ex) were 'friendly' with and accepted into their church. But wouldn't allow to come around their house because they didn't want their kids exposed to him. Major F in chat for that one, just yikes. But that's the worst thing, no no no. I hate her for one damn reason alone, something I refuse to forgive her for.
During a family gathering, one where my Mom was unable to be there for her own reasons, my Aunt decided to tell me the following thing during our conversation (which had been surprisingly good aside from the Gay man story she told me). Bare in mind, she had the gall to say this truly STUPID SHIT after I told her I wish my Mom could be at the gathering and that I missed her.
"I'm sorry your Mother wasn't the Mother she should've been. I hope she changes her wicked ways, and gets back with your Dad."
At that point I was so angry I just silently listened, I knew if I said anything it'd be over. I stewed all the way home, and regrettably didn't tell my Mother for months after the fact. But after some thought and encouragement from friends, I realized she deserved to know what her own flesh and blood had said. No matter if at the time they'd just started to talk again. Mom was pissed off of course, and more years of no contact happened. They're talking again, but Mom keeps her distance and stays careful with her personal life despite loving her sister still. Funny enough though, I think karma hit her pretty damn well last year. Her own husband got sick of her shit because their children got pushed away by her crazy antics. So now she can't give my Mom crap about the divorce my parents had anymore, HAHA! I won't lie, I laughed my ass off hearing the news and had been rooting for my cousins to avoid her like the plague for years before then. Hell, she even threw a pity party on Facebook, and even our most devout family ignored her. It was extremely cathartic let me tell you. Course I wish her elder kid had stayed away from her. Unfortunately he came crawling back after causing an accident that killed two people and their dog. Won't say any other details beyond that for his own sake. Due to him crawling back to his Mother, being bailed out by Daddy, and his Mother trying to get her son out of punishment through supreme court because he'd 'seen a God and had repented blah blah blah' I can't look at him the same way anymore. Also sidenote, even my Christian friend thinks my Aunt is a nutter, for anyone doubting his intent.
Forgive the massive ass spiels both here and EVERYWHERE else on this channel. I just feel that safe sharing here as no one has judged me once for it. Thank you guys in this community for that and thank you too @BlueRaven666. Hopefully the @ function still works on RUclips Mobile. If not tell me how to properly 'tag' RUclipsrs pretty please. Again sorry for the MASSIVE spiel. Thank you and blessed be.
Also forgive Grammar issues, phone keyboard screws me over constantly. Especially with long paragraphs of text. Seriously whoever made the keyboard smaller needs a reality check. Even my tiny hands can't handle what they fucked up.

I'm not into witchcraft but I think something is wrong with my house.
We have chocolate bars and every day we find them scattered around the house. One time my brother was petting our cat and he heard knocking on the cabinet. Idk what's happening. (And yes the chocolate bars were in the same exact place every time it happened)
Lmao I saw your tiktok and came here as fast a I could
This was good

Thanks
Thank you
Am I the only one who does not practice witchcraft but watches these videos to learn?
I'm not sure if I actually want to do something with this, but I can't deny I've been curious about it for years, so I'd like to give this a try.
I'm also curious about Tarot reading, since right now going out isn't the best idea, is there a site, web page or channel you would recommend to learn more of that, Blue?
As kids did you guys also mix an variety of different dirts and grass and stuff into mud while pretending to be a witch? Or was that just me?
I have always wanted to learn about witchcraft i personally have always done voodoo
Omg i love your vids I love of our hazbin hotel I just love your vids I would love for you to reply if you don't it's fine Ik your busy
What are some healing spells
i was wondering do you actually believe in spirits and the spiritual aspects of witchcraft just curious
Yes
I heard self-care and then my ‘’paranoia’’ said ha NO ;•;
So raven I have a question, is there a cure for Lycanthropy in witch craft?
Hey what deity would you get if you used a glass jar with a white candle inside
I probably won't do this but uh...it's interesting!I just feel like I'd just royally piss something off ^^|||||but still this is interesting!
I have a question. You know those entities you talked about who try to get your attention. Like a faint voice?
Can they sound of any age? Because I swear, I was in the car once and I heard the voice of a little girl call my name. I didnt acknowledge it but it felt very off once I heard it.
Yes, they can sound like any person of any age or gender, and can even mimic the voices of people you know
I am here and i don’t why people think that if you are in a different belief they just here away from you, for example, witchcraft, pegans and Vietnam’s religion (I forgot the name of the religion) this is very much laugh at or just get frightening, this is very discriminating.
Im in school rn
Dunno why I said I am. Nice vid tho!
How to even get started?
I mean, as much as my grandmother from my father's side, cares for me and the rest of her grandchildren, I've already shown signs of being a disappointment to our family religion. note; my father is Muslim and my mother is Christian. So, I'm basically half.
Ironic as it may be, I have come to be interested in the Egyptian pantheons, which Egypt was conquered by the Arabs long ago and now is 90% an Islamic country today.
I've been expecting you, Blue Raven. Slap me with all you got, I'll tell you if you need to stop or slap harder
yo when do we get to the Necronomicon stuff so i can recreat evil dead lmao
