Raw and real. These are the conversations I've always wanted to have and now I get to listen to my fave ladies sharing their views and offering guidance. Love this podcast. X
Awww thanks Kate! 🥰 So glad you're enjoying it!
Love that we started off with the natural wax conversation!!! Paraffin wax is sooo toxic! It will literally kill your pet bird!
Yessss, so awful!!!! 😣
You guys should post more often especially on the Apple podcast✨🌙✨♥️
Thank you for talking about sustainable sourcing ✨️
It’s something we are quite passionate about! 🥰
I have heard your definition of pentacles and pentagrams a couple of times. Just fyi
I'm pretty sure a pentacle is a talisman with a pentagram inscribed on it. Pentacles are objects you can hold, while pentagrams are drawn or inscribed.
Love, love, love the pod cast!!!!
More videos! Love them all. Would love to hear your insights on talismans vs amulets: Drawing in energies vs protection from unwanted energies.
Aww thank you, glad you’re loving the videos! Are you asking which one we prefer? Xx
Thankyou so much girlie's!! A wonderfully insightful topic which I thoroughly enjoyed! Will be heeding some of this advice. And have many crystals I am no longer drawn to so shall indeed pass them on and really need to venture into journalling again. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it Danni! ♥️♥️
Essential oils tend to irritate my skin, even diluted in carrier oils, so I tend to make my own infused herbal oils. I do love foraging and wildcrafting from my garden so making infusions, oils, essences, etc. is such a beautiful experience. I love connecting to the plant spirits in my area.
😍😍😍 beautiful!!
On smudging…”Smudging” is part of a native ceremony…so unless you are non native yet somehow have the ceremony details to hand (which you won’t have) and are about to reenact the whole thing, then of course that would be completely unacceptable! However, if you are using it just to cleanse & clear, then cleansing with Sage is completely acceptable. Using it to clear your home is not a “closed practice”Traditionally it was used many years ago in hospitals to cleanse the air of germs 🦠 There is nothing culturally ceremonial about that. So continue to use blue or white sage in your homes. And yes, making sure it’s come from a sustainable & ethical source is definitely important.
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼

Who knew all this about candles!! Love listening to you, beautiful ladies!
I love burning stuff too 😂
haha, I went on a bit of wax tangent there didn't I 😅Thank you so much!! 🥰
Thanks, I enjoyed this episode 🙂 I started practicing 13 years ago, but lost my confidence, am listening to different witchy podcasts and videos to help me realise what my own practice looks like again.
I was taught that no physical object is "essential" to witchcraft, but they are there to help you channel your energy and your will through to meet your desired goals, as we get more practiced we may not rely so much on th physical to work with the metaphysical :)
My favourites however - anything that involves fire 🔥 candles, incense, a burning bin in the garden, my gas hob and oven to do some kitchen witchery 😊
Also - a couple of traditional herbs for saining are mugwort and cedar (so I've heard), though be careful with mugwort especially if ingesting as it can mess with menstrual cycles :)
Looking forward to the next one!
Aww thanks Hazel! Yes definitely agree with you, that’s why we tried to really think about a small list of items that may be useful to get started rather than going out and buying tonnes of tools!
We are definitely big advocates for making use of what you have already as well.
Love your favourites! 😍 Yesss, mugwort is one of my faves! Not good to ingest if you’re pregnant or trying to conceive either! Xx
I absolutely love Mugwort, but I have noticed that if I burn too much of it my seasonal allergies get worse. Has anyone else had this experience?
Also, I love Rosemary and I burn it while I study new things. I used it all through college, and I had my son try it when he was struggling with a particular course in school and I feel like it helped him as well.
Beeswax! My preferred mode of candle making. Just thought I would throw that in there.
Very nice podcast, love to follow you 😊, could you please explain me a bit more detailed why not to use white sage for cleansing? Thx
When it comes to cleansing, it depends on what the item is I’m cleansing.my two favorites are rosemary, lavender bundles, or sound cleansing.
Yesss, love rosemary and lavender too! xx
Yup ! 💯cant be without my rosemary for cleansing and Mugwort . Massive Rosemary bush in the garden so iv got years worth of dried bundles 🙂
Oh niceeeee! 😍
Ok, guys, bone to pick! We need more videos, lol. Seriously would love something weekly, but I understand it's time-consuming, etc and yall do have lives. Bottom line I love your content and selfishly need more. Not trying to be a bitch but giving love. Oh and thank you for what you do!
Awww Teena ♥️♥️ We have a new episode coming on Monday, we can currently only keep up with every two weeks but you never know, that may change in the near future!! 🫶🏼 thank you for your support, we truly appreciate it!
@@EmbracingMagick woohoo! Hugz
Love this video! Do you have any tips about where to buy some bits to get started?
Depends what you are looking for really - but definitely looking at antique shops or charity shops for things like cauldrons, burning pots, candle stick holders etc & if you can, seek out & support independent shops for anything else!
42:00 My cauldron is a teapot😂
Love it!
I can kind of see black as the same as white, being general but I could also see any color being used as an all-encompassing color especially if its your favorite color. I just thought of this...maybe if you have the money for the more natural healthier waxed candles maybe you could also use the paraffin candles for banedul workings since they are toxic🤔 BOY!!!!! Do I have a bad memory do to mental illnesses. I love using the pentacle, I don't usually use a physical pentacle but I draw it out with my fingers. I LOVE using mudras in my craft.
Ahhh interesting! Thank you for sharing Dylan!
What was the ingredient that gets added to the bath for pain relief? Thanks! 🖤
I think Toni was talking about Copaiba Oil xx
@@EmbracingMagick thank you!
great content guys..haha got given some bees wax from a friend..i could not get it out of the candle mould it was like concrete..doww..blessings all.🖤
It is a very hard wax!! Thanks so much ♥️♥️
Great episode lovelies ❤
Thank you Veronica :) xx
I use a lot of salt! Salt for everything 😂 though I wondered if you guys had any thoughts on sourcing good quality stuff? I tend to every so often buy a nice one from the deli section in tkmaxx haha but I feel like with those it’s even harder to tell how it’s been processed or where it’s come from, how do you deal with this?
Yesssss, do love some saltttt! My family are from Malta and I actually alot of the time bring back local sea salt as I feel very connected to the island so it's nice to have this for my practise.... I don't know where about's you're based and how easy it would be, but trying to find local sea salt would be a good option orrr maybe looking for a more independent company who are more passionate about sourcing 🙂
Hi lizzy! where do you buy your clothes from please
I have a question - why shouldn't you wear a pentacle? TIA 😊
Hi Samantha, thank you for your question! We’re not saying you shouldn’t wear a pentacle, alot of witches still wear them, and if it’s something you’re drawn to, then absolutely wear one. I think what Toni was trying to get across is just understanding the difference between the pentacle and pentagram and also the differences between wiccan and witches. Hope that helps! 😊
Tanzanite is over minded to the point that it Is rare and some say this generation will be the last to have them.
Hello ladies,being someone from the west I must admit that the whole TikTok hysteria that started several years ago has many of us perplexed? I don’t know about you but here we don’t have children harvesting sage & I’m pretty sure that at no time have any one of us harvested our own coffee beans from Columbia or Costa Rica ? Not to mention I see no one jetting over to china to select their morning teas? I’m pretty sure that almost every single person on the planet has eaten other foods from other cultures, used products from other cultures & the funny thing is the “native Indians” are laughing their arss’ off as they’re the ones who sell it to all of us witches. I think we might be more concerned about things like blood diamonds & the like with children & people being used & killed for such crystals & the like? I for one am waiting for the TikTok lunacy to start about our beautiful mugwort? How long before that’s appropriate? Just so you know we don’t plant it, it grows everywhere here. Just a little food for thought. Thank you for your amazingly beautiful dialogue. Many may say where have you been all their lives? 💋🔮🐦⬛
