I have a special tree that I greet when I head off to work and when I come home ! I have hugged him and thank him for his shade and beautiful for many years ! He corrected me when I decided to name him and he told me his name as crazy as that sounds trees do speak if you take the time to really listen ! They’re sentient beings !
I have an apple tree in my backyard. We’ve been here for almost a decade, but only for the past couple of years have I been harvesting more of her fruits- ACV, apple tarts, apple butter, applewood-smoked goods. I plan on doing something to venerate her this year with a garden altar. This video came at the right time since I’m planning out the rest of my garden 🌱🌿🌳
How magical that you have an apple tree in your backyard!! Also, I love that you've been taking advantage of all those apples 😍 I bet the garden altar is going to be beautiful. What a great idea!
Love this! Always wondered how to get closer to my beloved trees and plants. Thank you for making my days a little bit magical with all of these inspiring ideas!
Great video 😊 I’ve found that growing plants 🌱 from seeds has been the best way for me to forge the strongest plant allies. I’ve got an allotment now where I grow almost all of the items I use in my regular practice. If I find tree seedlings in places where they won’t do well I do move them somewhere better if they agree & then continue to tend to their needs. This year I have two oak tree “babies” growing at my allotment that I didn’t transplant there so it seems like I’m being gifted tree allies now 😉
Starting this process helped me after I moved to Alaska from the South West. I felt so cut off from the energy around me, and from my practice. I've slowly grown new connections over the years, but it's an ongoing process. I'll definitely try your meditation idea with the room in the tree this summer (if the snow ever melts! 😂).
Connecting to a new land is really difficult! And that's on top of the stress of moving too... But I'm glad you've made some connections it sounds like. There's nothing better than connecting to the land spirits & plant spirits to make you feel at home! 🖤
I'd love to do a little garden of night bloomers next summer (I am drawn to the moon). You're ideas are really nice and I would never have thought of the little door, my favorite.
I loved that you mentioned cacti! I’ve been doing a lot of nature walking around me here in Arizona and just enjoying all the spring blossoms and hummingbirds! Everything is poisonous here but I know my cactus garden loves me. I also adapted the sabbaths to the desert…since life in the Sonoran Desert is different from Western Europe. Thanks for this video…I am going to work on this on my next walk.
Ahh, I was just in AZ last month visiting family! We were mainly in Casa Grande but spent some time in Phoenix too. I LOVE it there. The Sonoran desert is beautiful. I was walking around there and thinking about how intense the plant life is... Full of fiery energy. All the plants are tough, hard, and able to endure the harshest conditions. I was wondering what kind of powerful spellwork you could do with all that fire energy as well... So many opportunities for strength and power! You'll have to let me know what kind of cactus magick you come up with! 🖤🖤
As a practioner of a meso American path, corn is the highest ally. I grow corn every year. Not just for food but to dry and use corn meal in alot of magical practices. Also be a friend to native pines. Many uses. It is powerful to burn pine resin of our own trees in the place of more exotic resins
I believe things have both spirit and energy. Their own spirits that give off different energies that can change from time to time. So a plant has its own spirit but sometimes it gives off different energies if that makes sense. Like theres a certain energy i feel when my plants want to be watered. A different one for when they want to go outside and get real sun light. I feel like mother earth has her own spirit but if i get a crystal from her it contains her energy but also has its own spirit based on the conditions it was formed. Like how amethyst transmutes negativity. Idk if i explained that right
What a lovely video! I'm not a practicing witch, but I am currently reading Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin W. Kimmerer (a Potawatomi woman, botanist, scientist, and nature writer), so when this video was recommended to me by the algorithm it piqued my interest. If you haven't read the book, I would highly recommend it. Based on this video, I think you'd love it!
Thank you so much!! I have actually had that book recommended to me many times and I think this is my sign to actually read it 😂 Thank you for the recommendation! 🙏❤️
i have a money tree and a wittle succulant i saw in a shop, i wanted to take him home with me, they seemed so lonely and dusty. Hes growing fast!! im happy to learn that i can work with these guys in my practice! I cant wait to start, ❤
I loved the video and i just realized i already do it instinctively, i have just 3 plants yet but i always see them as real friends and even guardians, cleaning the energy of my house 💕
These were all great tips Ivy! I love dandelion, I forage for it every year. I also have purple dead nettle , grape hyacinth & fleabane daisy in my yards that I get to forage for as well. So many things just in my yards. It really does help to start with what's close to you I think. Thank you as always for your time, energy & wisdom. XX
Yes, starting with local plant life helps so much! Also, I had to look up what the heck fleabane daisy was... I had no idea that's what those little flowers were! I knew they were daisy's but this is the first time I've heard the term "fleabane". Thanks for teaching me something new! 🙏🖤🖤
I haven't seen many "ghosts" but I did have one experience where I saw a man walking in and out of a tree and then disappearing inside of the tree. I was a pre-teen at the time. Your meditation of going into a tree reminded me of that.
@@Imono33312 he appeared like a translucent older white human man. And I saw him on other occasions in that same neighborhood. I think it was him, but it was so long ago I might be wrong. I think it was though. So ghost or whatever that's what it looked like.
Yay. Love connecting with the spirit of plants. When I didn’t have the plant I also used pictures and plant Essence such as flower remedies, teas, tinctures 😊
I'm very intrigued by animism as someone who has never fully had a religious experience with the gods animals are real and so hold more knowledge in my eyes.
Thank you so much! I feel like dandelion is overlooked and under-valued... It has so many medicinal and metaphysical benefits. And, you are definitely not alone in talking to your plants. 😆 Thank you for your kindness!
For a year about, I've been building a deep connection with the Bradford Pear/Callary Pear. As I got to know it and be able to recognize it, I realize that many trees, pretty much every tree I ever grew a bond with were Bradford Pears. One thing, so I do this dark, dark practice that effectively steals parts of the animal spirit and add it to myself, but this tree seems to be willingly giving. Like, instead of siphoning gas from someone's car, I'm opening a dam. I have a lot of the berries/pears that I use in teas that I harvested and dried, and will sometimes eat the fruit but not the seeds. I always talk to the tree before taking, making sure I have consent. Btw, dandelion was brought over to America as a food crop. You could consider cultivating it. Also there's pink dandilions you can get online. (I'm a fan of dandelions too) Popoton is dandelion in Japanese.
As always, we think the same way. When we are children we innately know this, then it is socialized out of us. Zen mind beginners mind says that even the sand has some degree of consciousness.
Yes, you are so right!! I completely forgot about that book, Zen Mind Beginners Mind. That was one of the first Buddhist books I ever read. What a lovely reminder; thank you! 🙏
I love the outdoors--especially mountains and forests in the NE. I have actually grown opuntia cactus outside for years and my foodie neighbors have harvested it for "something" years ago. Do the plants hate it when you move on to other plants? It would be difficult to keep it all up unless you had "parties" for groups.
Only certain dandelions are native and the ones that most people are trying to eradicate from their lawns are usually the European one. I do appreciate the emphasize of working with local plants consider how much we are damaging our local ego regions. One of the main issues I've ran into is that there isn't a lot of information on actual native species. A lot text is on European plants including growing them which is a shame.
This was fantastic, as usual! There is a large pear tree in our backyard that I have a wonderful relationship with and I used many of the suggestions you spoke about in this video!
Okay, I feel silly asking this, but can I use a potted plant? I've got lots of plants in the ground, but I would really love to be able to do this in the privacy of my courtyard. I've got a very private courtyard off my bedroom. I'd love to just slip out there in the early morning. There's a plant that grows wild around here. What would happen if I transferred it to a pot and moved it to my courtyard? It's the quiet, tranquil privacy that makes me really want to do it there.
Hiya, first off ty so much for ur videos, they are helping me so much! I have a silly question, when developing a relationships with a specific plant I feel I am going to feel guilty then using it in my spells? Sounds stupid, but do you ever get these feelings? Like, if it has a spirit and I'm then using it? Any help much appreciated ❤❤
I am very interested in trying to shamanic journey, however I struggle to visualize. Is it still possible to journey? This was a very interesting video. There is a tree that is right outside my window that I would very much like to be an ally to. It is an old tree and I love it very much. There is another tree that means a great deal to me as well. I worry about that one as it too is old and the trunk is starting to split. My dad wants to remove the tree and replace it with a non-native tree. I want to try to save it as it still puts on leaves and flowers every year and is native to our area. Oh I have really rambled on. Thank you again for the video.
Tobacco is a species native to North America, maybe that’s why spirits of that area supposedly find it pleasant. But how about other places? In Tibet tobacco is harmfull for spirits and people how about this? What we should do in Europe?Who have right?
I go for a walk every morning through a graveyard and around our little town. I pass this Huge oak. It is hollow and still very alive. If I could do it in privacy I would meditate in it. Maybe if I get there really early in the morning… I will work up my nerve. I am wondering how you or anyone else deals with non-private things like this. It is behind our apartments and probably would only be seen by a few people, one of those has already spread rumors about me I think this might verify things that people around me fear. Probably just being paranoid but can’t be the only one in this type situation.
Oof.... That's a tough one. I am not fully out of the closet myself, and I would be a hypocrite if I said, "Don't care what anyone else thinks!" I completely understand that struggle. Although, when you're in a graveyard, I feel like it's a lot more acceptable to meditate. Outsiders might just think you're spending time with a loved one. I don't think it's weird at all to sit quietly in a graveyard... They don't need to know what you're doing. For all they know, you could be praying to a Christian God! If you're really concerned that people might think you're strange, maybe bring flowers with you or some sort of offering. People seem to think we are much less evil with flowers in our hand, and they are more likely to think you're there paying respects to a loved one who has passed over. Or... You could embrace it and not care what they think! For me personally, I don't do any rituals or meditations in public. It's not because I'm worried about what others might think - it's more because their energy is extremely distracting to me. I can feel their energy radiating off their bodies with little control and no matter how much shielding I do... It still affects me. But I am also blessed with a private backyard where I can do my rituals outside in peace - and I know not everyone has that opportunity.
@@IvyTheOccultist I do have a house also. I live with my son in his apartment and the house needs so much work that selling it isn’t an option. It is this one specific hollow tree. It is big enough to sit inside. It’s a huge pin oak. I imagine meditating inside it to connect with the plant spirit. This huge strong presence to connect with and to ground me. Maybe I will buy a rosary. This is a very Catholic area. Having that might appease the neighbors. I think that’s what I’ll do. I wish I could add a picture here. The oak is beautiful and I sometimes imagine in meditation walking into an oak and through to another place… it looks just like a tree I would imagine. So, I think I will wake early (5:30 or so) and meditate to connect with its spirit. (It looks a lot like a tree winnie the poo would live in. 😂
@@jenniferthibodeaux8565 Ahh, that makes much more sense if you're trying to connect to the tree spirit! Yes, then you'll definitely want to meditate inside the tree. 😆 The rosary is a great idea. It provides something physical so that others are less concerned with why you're there. Please let me know how it goes!! I'd love to hear about your experience with the Winnie the Pooh tree! 🖤🖤🖤
I've always felt connected to water and earth but water more. But, last year I felt that shift to earth more. I have met witches in person and online and I've noticed that water and earth are the most popular, I would say fire is third and air last. Do you have an opinion why so many witches connect to water and earth? I live in Arizona, so the majority of the plants and animals aren't usually in other states. I have my favorite Palo Verde, when I water it I usually rub one of it's branches, rub a leaf or flower and I also say Hi, how are you? My Dad thinks I'm nuts. I also say hi and how are you to animals too and again my Dad thinks I'm nuts 😂 I bought a cactus in a pot notebook from walmart in January and it's going to be my desert grimoire, for all the native planta and animals. Where I live there's some stores that sell prickly pear cactus candy and Oh My God it's SO good, it can be a bit soury or tangy. Another great video
Prickly pear cactus candy is SO GOOD!!! Also, I find that if you look at someone's whole birth chart, it can really indicate which elements a person may be drawn too. There might be a lot of water and earth in your birth chart, who knows! I am very much drawn to fire 🔥🔥 and it actually took me a LONG time to connect to earth and water. It's really fascinating! This definitely deserves a proper discussion! ☺️
@@IvyTheOccultist Oh awesome you've tried prickly pear candy. I actually entered my birth info on an astrology site and if I remember correctly I have no water.
@@dylanmagoiofthethalasso4032 weird!!! Well then I have no idea why you could be drawn to water 😂😂 maybe it's a past-life thing? If you believe in past lives that is...
@@IvyTheOccultist I do believe in past lives. I did a past life meditation and my previous life worked with Poseidon and that previous life wanted to continue that relationship. And now I have small connections to water. I actually have an old video aboht my connections to water. I believe it's outdated because it doesn't mention Poseidon.
@@dylanmagoiofthethalasso4032 ahh well that definitely makes more sense then! I'll have to check out that video! If you have a past-life connection with Poseidon then it definitely makes sense you're drawn to water!

I absolutely believe it! Trees are incredible. So glad you have this spiritual relationship in your life 🙏🖤
I’m trying to tune into mine…it’s a beautiful twisted willow bottle brush. I’ve had trees sing to me in the past.

@@dylanmagoiofthethalasso4032 weird!!! Well then I have no idea why you could be drawn to water 😂😂 maybe it's a past-life thing? If you believe in past lives that is...
@@IvyTheOccultist I do believe in past lives. I did a past life meditation and my previous life worked with Poseidon and that previous life wanted to continue that relationship. And now I have small connections to water. I actually have an old video aboht my connections to water. I believe it's outdated because it doesn't mention Poseidon.
@@dylanmagoiofthethalasso4032 ahh well that definitely makes more sense then! I'll have to check out that video! If you have a past-life connection with Poseidon then it definitely makes sense you're drawn to water!
Very nice!! Thank You🖤💫🤍

Thank you Lynn!! I thought of you when i filmed this video. 😂 I kept thinking, "Breathe, Ivy. Don't forget to pause and breathe." Hahaha!
Can i do this with houseplants?
Absolutely! You can even ask one of them to be your guardian for the home! 😊❤️

Oh come on the PNW isn't homogonous. The Tri-cities is very desert like. I'm sure you can find cacti there.
The Tri-Cities? Do people even go there? 😂 I'm kidding
I like your information very much, but please slow down your speedy talking. It is hard to follow along when you speak so fast 💕
You can always adjust the video speed so its slower.
