    Hey everyone, today I wanted to sit down and talk about some of the aspects of witchcraft people often overlook, the mundane Health & Safety. It might sound boring, but as with everything, it is always better to know the hazards and how to avoid them, than put yourself at risk.

      As an herbalist and baby witch the only thing keeping me from getting involved in magick was seeing internet witches telling hundreds of thousands of people to take herbs and oils and whatnot without any discussion of potential dangers. I'm so glad to have begun to find responsible witches on here that actually go over the risks and dangers

    *Fish and reptiles aswell are EXTREMELY sensitive to anything in the air, and that includes things given off by plants!*
    I have many animals in my room, so I never use perfumes, room sprays or candles in my room. Also for example at Christmas time I don't have any fir tree branches or wreaths in my room because reptiles are sensitive to the oils it puts on the air.
    From my research, amphibians are the worst effected. I have an axolotl but I think that it's important for my other fish and reptile friends

      In general fish wont be super bothered by the air, considering they don't interact with it normally. Betas probably will be because they often breathe at the surface, but if you have fish that are naturally central or bottom dwelling, they probably wont be effected by anything in the air, unless you have an air pump (in which case a good filter should prevent anything that doesn't dissolve into it being a problem). Just be careful of ash falling into an open-topped tank from burning herbs, some fish may be effected by that (although many fish foods contain small amounts of ash, so it really depends on what plant is producing it).

      @@ingridc0ld I'm late, but as someone who has kept reptiles both professionally & personally: this isn't true--pine and cedar can be dangerous to reptiles if there are large amounts in the air (and definitely don't put it in their enclosure, especially cedar), but fir is a common bedding type. Reptibark, for instance, is made of Douglas fir. You also can have wreaths and branches of any type in a room with the animals so long as they're not enclosed with them--I suppose if you have a poorly ventilated space and super fresh cuttings, you might be extra cautious (& imo, you should always have an air purifier in a room with animals in enclosures regardless of how careful you are otherwise), but the big concern is essential oils and incense. Remember these beings coexist in the wild, so as long as there's appropriate distance and ventilation, a pine branch in a room isn't going to harm your reptile.
      The big thing is avoiding toxic essential oils & incense, though I'd err on the side of caution and avoid any essential oils outside of a small reed diffuser in a different room. I also would avoid any incense, though that isn't based on anything except my opinion that it's probably distressing for an animal to smell burning things since we're pretty unique in our appreciation of fire.

Citrus essential oils made me so photosensitive that I had to wear scarves and use umbrellas in the summer to avoid burns and blisters even if I was only outside for five minutes. They aren’t always perfectly safe. I can’t imagine what reaction I’d get if they made contact with my mouth and esophagus!

    So I might get flak for this but as soon as you said Pyrite, I was thinking about my Rose of Jericho as I have a very small piece of pyrite on top of the plant with water in it. I thought that pyrite was safe in water, turns out pyrite leaches sulfuric acid into the water 🙃🙃🙃 so i had to drain the water, take the pyrite out and get it dry, pat my rose of Jericho dry and im waiting for it to completely dry before I put it back in water again. Remember folks, even if you have been doing witchcraft for a long time (10 years for me) it doesn't mean you know everything! 😅

And I really hate that "it's natural so it's safe" argument - water is natural, it can still drown you 🙄. I would add to the crystals category - for those who like to tuck crystals into their bra (ouch!), make sure you check they're safe. And actually I suppose the same would go for wearing spell pouches round your neck, or whatever - if the pouch fabric is porous, be careful what's in it.

    You had mentioned the candle safety. I remember watching you play that tiktok video and they had a candle that they had warmed the bottom of and stuck it to what looked like a coin or something and I kinda cringed a little. Yeah, be careful with candles. Just because the coin is slightly wider than the base of the candle doesn't mean it's perfectly stable.
    Remember, trying to use candle magic to prevent your house from burning down might be less effective than just being careful using candles.

    I appreciate this video and your scientific mind SO MUCH! You're so right, very few places talk about actual "basic, mundane" safety. I was terrified I'd poison myself or set something on fire at the start, and luckily I'd already decided "if in doubt, swap it out." THIS!
    "Crystal health and safety" is music to my ears :D Crystals are my thing and I've spent literally MONTHS figuring out which are ok in water, sun, salt, etc. and let me tell you, it's confusing and there is no one comprehensive list that I've ever found, and many books esp older ones are just completely wrong about cleansing and elixirs - Definitely "if in doubt ..." keep it out of liquids! You can ALWAYS make an indirect elixir.
    Also that trick with melting the bottom and sticking the candle to something changed my LIFE when I first heard it from you, thanks!! :)

I searched if Daisies were okay for cats and NO. I panicked and moved them into my bathroom. Unfortunately I think a leaf or petal or something fell that I missed, because now one of my cats might have a respiratory infection. It’s all because I didn’t think.

    Thank you so very much for posting this video. I have been noticing a lot of harmful practices lately with good intentions that were being done with an apparent lack of knowledge. Hopefully, everyone will start to understand that they must consider every aspect of every tool including plants and crystals before including them in their practice. I knew someone recently who was so convinced that drinking a small amount of skullcap would bring her particular health benefits that she ignored the possible negative effects it could have on her liver and she ended up in the hospital. Someone else put tourmaline in an oil mixture and had to go to the ER for a very serious adverse reaction. My heart truly ached for those who either lost or caused severe health issues with their pets when essential oil diffusers were all the rage. Please take care and caution everyone:)

    This is why I tell people to never give me plants as a present. I have cats and whenever someone wants to be nice and give me a plant, I will have intense internet searches, whether the plant is safe or not. My workplace looks like a Gardening Center, because I tend to bring all the unsafe plants there. Great for the energy at work, but a bit annoying for me, because I will need to ask, whether it’s ok to bring the plant and sometimes people give me plants without exactly knowing what kind it is and leave the guesswork to me. Nonetheless, I love my friends and family, just take it easy on the plants guys. 😂😂😂❤️

    On the note of herbs that can mess with your medication:
    The same goes for activated charcoal!
    It's legitimately used in medicine as a way to remove toxins from your body but the reason it works is because of is very porous and just binds whatever it comes across to itself.
    If you are on medication or birth control, steer clear of investing charcoal as much as possible.
    And also, just generally, don't fall for the charcoal-as-toothpaste thing. It's like using a metal brush to remove stains from clothing instead of soap. It doesn't work as well and damages the material.

    Also, people don't consider but route of use makes a difference. I used lavender for years as a topical/lotion/essential oil. It became a thing to add it to food some years ago, and my husband bought me some lemon lavender cookies. I had an allergic reaction. Another time, I was at a specialist chocolate shop, and had a chocolate with a bit of lavender on top, and had a near anaphylactic reaction. I now have to be very careful handling lavender at all (I make soaps and balms for other people), and never ingest it again.

    Great video Hearth! This is sooooo not talked about enough - I work with dried herbs and essential oils a lot - but I study them all first before I work with them and my mum always used essential oils when I was growing up so I knew always never to put them neat on the skin etc. I've heard some hideously terrifying stories - the worst story I heard after I had my son when I attended a baby massage class with him and there was apparently a story about someone in the news who had used essential oils neat on their baby and the results were fatal - just heartbreaking. Absolutely, they are not 'all safe' and 'natural' etc - those misconceptions I think come in part from the greenwashing of brands trying to seem like their products are more eco by using greenwashing terms like 'natural' which actually means nothing really. It's always so important for us to do our research - do the reading - from different sources and never take risks or chances! Thanks for sharing Hearth 💓 Xxx

    Yes, baby witches need a Witchcraft OSHA/HSE. "Natural doesn't equal safe" Exactly, would you burn poison ivy? No! I just stick to the culinary herbs. I have a healthy fear of fire, so rarely do candle magic, but always use a candle holder. If I can't find my chime holder, I'll stick a chime candle (like Hearth does) to a pillar candle plate holder. Also, be aware that waxes burn differently. A typical paraffin wax will burn fast and smoke a lot, whereas beeswax burns slower and barely smokes.

    She didn’t say this either but you can’t smoke essential oils either, you can’t add them to something you’re smoking or vape them!

    Any flowers/plants that I know are not ok for my fur babies are outside. Even though my cats go out, they typically avoid my lilies, monkshood, etc. They seem perfectly happy to ignore the obnoxiously coloured plants. Incense and candles, provided a window is open, don’t seem to bother them, though if it’s a stronger scent, they typically leave the room and into another part of the house.

    Another thing important is if it is an oil fire, do not try putting it out with water! It will only make it worse. Also do not try to blow it out as that can make the fire worse and make the flames come towards you. To put out a small oil fire, make sure to extinguish the heat source, smother with some kind of lid and use bicarbonate of soda or salt (you'll need a large amount) to kill the flames

    A friend of mine bought crystal fish tank gravel from Pets at Home. She had 2 full tanks worth of fish die very quickly. After going to a specialist shop she found out the impurities in the crystals were leaching a large amount of alkalines into the water and poisoning the fish!

    With the candles that you don’t want to snuff, put it in the sink (if the sink is deep and not flammable obviously). During Hanukkah, we can’t blow or snuff the candles on the Menorah but the often don’t burn down before we go to bed. Have been putting it in the sink for years and never had a problem. Looks a bit weird, but it’s another option.

    12:44 when you said that people were putting crystals in their drinking water I was praying that no one has put selenite in their water

  • @Sheepdog1314
    @Sheepdog1314 3 года назад

    Selenite is a salt and is water soluble, as is celestite. Pyrite will make the air around it acidic and corrode metals and damage other stones. Many other stones can be damaged by water, skin oils, heat or sunlight. All minerals were created INSIDE the earth, under the surface. Once they are forcibly mined or dug up, they are out of their protective environment, and depending on the hardness and chemical make-up, can be damaged very easily.

  • @junehood6248
    @junehood6248 3 года назад

    This is such a great talk. Not enough is said about safety when using magic. I am a nurse by day and there are so many people that do harm to themselves because they consumed something that was natural thinking it was safe. I love that you talked about safety for our fur and feathered babies. Bravo!!!

  • @justincollins1138
    @justincollins1138 3 года назад

    I'm so glad that you brought up such a subject within the community. I've stressed this so much within mine. Just because you saw it or read it somewhere does not mean that it is safe. I stress education so much to those around me, even at work. I would rather people be empowered than foolish.

    but yeah i hope some of the people (usually kids) ive seen on tiktok find your channel bc i still feel like i dont know much about the practice after months of learning and i can tell that theyre doing some things they probably shouldnt 😥 and then spreading that idea to sometimes thousands of people who dont know better

    • @inchw0rm
      @inchw0rm 3 года назад

      not just kids though bc ive seen a few adults who practiced for a long time who suggest diving right in when you find witchcraft and that feels kinda irresponsible to me idk maybe they forget how little people know/understand when they start from so long ago lol

  • @colleen2879

    @Dawn-Bogart-Creates 3 года назад

    I am a new witch, and I have yet to really dive in to the practice of witchcraft for many of the reasons you share. I want to be prepared and know what I am doing. So for now I am not doing any real spell work, just some intention setting. And I am right there with you on the animals. I love animals more than people. I use to love getting poinsettias at Christmas but stopped when we got cats. I moved my salt lamp somewhere my cat couldn't get to it as soon as I saw her messing with it. I have to be very careful what I use around her because she has allergies. What you are saying is basically common sense, however, that seems to be something that people lack nowadays. The information is so simple to find, just google it and check and compare the information you find. Granted you can't believe everything you read on the internet, but if one site says something is safe and 9 sites says that it is not, you go with the 9.
    Thank you for being someone who takes the time to share your knowledge and information with people, especially younger witches. I can only hope that they heed your warnings and follow you by example as opposed to the others out there practicing bad behaviors.

  • @Lucky7192
    @Lucky7192 3 года назад

    Great and much useful video! This is a topic that does need to be talked about more.
    Ond thing I would like to add about crystals is radioactivity. Some crystals do contains radioactive elements, and not just the big names like uranium.
    Potassium has a radioactive isotope, which will always be present in a certain percentage in all natural potassium. Quite a few common crystals contain a high level of potassium. Lepidolite and charoite are some of them. I don't wear these as juwelry any more.
    From what I've calculated for mh own pendents, they are about the equivalent of 3 cubic meters of seawater concentrated in a couple cubic cm in terms of radiaoctivity. I don't want this directly against my skin. We seawater it would be spread across quite a volume, and distance is a big thing when in comes to decereasing radioactivity.
    So yeah, just a little added note, home it is useful to someone.
    Much love.
