An In-depth Q&A | What to do With Offerings | How to Work Magick Without Visualization | and More...
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- Questions:
01:14 is it normal to feel sort of awkward/fake when performing(or at least trying to perform) spells, even the minor/easy/not-that-complicated ones? and what can I do to get rid of this feeling?
03:51 what does magick feel like to you?
04:31 I cannot visualize so it's very hard for me to put intention into my workings. Do you have any tips on how to go about putting intention and crafting things without visualizing?
06:00 what do you do with offerings, if you leave them for a few days, what do you do with them after?
07:29 Do you meditate? If yes, what are your tips for doing so successfully?
09:10 I'm at a point in my life where a lot of change is coming and some big decisions need to be made - which is both exciting and terrifying. Are there any daily routines, hobbies, or practices that you've found help you stay grounded during times of great change?
10:51 Do you see the production of your videos as an extension of your magical craft? Do you focus intention into them the same way that you would for a balm or tincture or foodstuffs that you make?
11:47 How do you feel about marriage or having children? What hopes and wished do you have?
12:49 Do you use tarot or other divination in your practice? Why/why not? if so, what deck or tools do you use?
13:34 how do you fight the common culture of witches "not being real" and keeping yourself motivated and optimistic about viewing yourself as being a witch and furthering your craft?
15:13 How has defining yourself as a witch publicly impacted your "muggle" life? Has anyone recognized you or searched up your videos?
16:56 I have no idea if this was already asked... do you belong to a coven?
18:03 What is your favorite way to connect with the energies of the earth? What makes you feel most grounded and in-tune with nature?
19:35 Do you ever struggle with anxiety, and if so do you use your craft to help manage it?
20:54 what are some things that you do to help with spiritual burn out (when you have lost that magic feeling)?
22:34 will you ever be doing a series type thing teaching the basics that you have learned about herbalism?
23:23 have you thought of doing a video or video series about most common herbs and their correspondences for witchcraft
26:25 what is a typical day/week for you? does working for yourself make it easier or harder to keep a regular schedule? Does having no 9 to 5 make it easier to keep creativity flowing?
28:06 what benefits did magick bring you, spiritually or personally that you didn't expect at first when you started your path?

An herbalism basics series would be SOO helpful and wonderful 😄
YES! 😊
Also where do you go to school @
Ooohhhh yesss this would be amazing!
Love this idea!
Definitely!!!
I know! It really would! ^^
Yes to a series about herbalism! I'm starting to learn about it and would love to see you do some videos about the topic 😊
I love that you said art magic. I do what I call coloring magic. I write my spell on the page i am coloring. Or on the back of it. And while coloring thinking of what I want my spell to do.
That's Awesome ! Blessings !
You just gave me an idea! Thank you!!!!🤗
What a great idea
Woah! Thats really cool! I wish ye luck! ^^
sounds awesome queen!
The fact that magic is everywhere and it feels right at heart while performing. Thank-you for wonderful insights Annie ❤️
I had a rough week, but the vibes from your videos just soothes me, makes me believe everything I feel will pass and I just need to live doing what I love. Thank you very, very much (sorry for my English)
You wrote it out correctly. Good job english is difficult.
I’ve felt the same this week, we’ll get through this
We would love to see you working with your local herbs, even if they are not the same here, it would be very inspirational!
I saw the title and clicked so fast lol. If youre struggling to visualize, it might help to make a story, like: "a beam of purple light sooths from my third eye" or something like that, like youre reading the book and picturing the scene. I consider myself a baby witch so...this was super helpful, thanks so much, your videos bring so much light into my day
14:00
my dad practiced the craft in his lifetime yet we lived in a very non religious household, I still find myself tripping over words and meaning while I talk with family members about my love for crystals for an instance, trying to prove that “it is less of the magic” for me even tho I use them daily within my craft. it’s interesting how we sometimes do that, we feel awkward about something that makes us excited, and we feel vulnerability when we rumble on about it. I really appreciate that you’ve talked about this. 🌼
I got goosebumps when you explained your answer to my question- maybe because I totally relate or maybe it was because it felt like I could feel your energy with me at that moment. Thank you for giving me this experience, to feel like I was talking to a friend right next to me
Please share some herbalism basics!! I would LOVE that! Thank you for sharing your own experiences it always helps to hear someone else's perspective. Love from Canada!
BTW thank you so much for answering my question!!! :D that made my day!
I grew up on an orchard- I have spent more private time with trees than with people. I moved from the orchard to the city and to the forest as an adult. Trees are so healing for me to live around.
I work much better with a practice (spell or ritual) that I create myself. Cooking is also very magical to me... the herbs used to flavor food, the essential oils (food safe) I use in my dish soap, floor wash, vinegar counter cleaners....
Im really glad that you acknowledged us witches who live in tropical climates! Im a practitioner from the Southeast Asia region and it is indeed difficult to find the herbs that you often use in your videos. However, that didnt stop me from diving into herbalism, like you said! I still get some form of wisdom and ways to use the flowers and herbs that grow in my area, just by watching your videos❤️
Magic is returning to our world.
Beautiful video dear heart as usual!
Amazing content.
So happy that your getting settled in your new environment and making it your own.
Blessed Be
♥️⭐♥️
the beginning was so calming omfg-
A cabin tour in the future, maybe?
Thank you for the video, would love to know more about ur jmeditation against anxiety journey . You could be the voice of headspace sleep app.! That would be such a dream. Greetings from southern Germany.
wayyy more important than class.
The first question was a cool one. I always like to tell baby witches that making mistakes, laughing when these things happen, the spirits like laughter. It does not need to be super serious. It took me 20 years to figure that out.
I would really love more content on herbalism and meditation, glad ur doing well sweetness
I love to listen to your voice Annie ☺️ It is so beautiful and calming 💚
I've always had a love and feel a deep connection to mother earth. As a teenager, I sorta looked into Wicca but always put it as a teenager seeking belonging. As an adult I've mostly classified myself as a follower of CHRIST and it definitely has helped with my sobriety the past 8 yrs. Yet recently this year I just feel like I can't learn enough about herbs, growing them, what medicinal uses they have....and thats when I came upon your channel in late July 2020. Whatever I do choose to practice, I would love to learn more about herbs and their properties. You have a wonderful calming way of teaching and I think many looking for answers in herbiology would learn a lot from you so I encourage you to do it. Im now 45 yrs old (not a teenager anymore) but still searching for a belonging! Can't wait to see what you share with us next!
Annie, loved this Q&A. I would love for you to teach us more about herbalism. Also please continue to show us Hazel. She's a doll. I lost both my dogs this year and so dearly love seeing her puppy face.
Loved this comment “Work in the ways that your area of the world sings”. It really resonated with me, I feel so in tune with my part of the world, Cyprus, whether it be with food, plants, nature. Hope you’re enjoying discovering the songs of Washington 🥰
Greetings from a Greek sister! 🇨🇾🇬🇷
An herbalism series would be amaaazing.
I love your videos and you've been an inspiration and incredibly helpful for me really starting my journey here after a particularly tumultuous time in my life.
Getting cooking again..
Looking herbs and plants a little longer.. trying to figure out what they are from the garden to a woodland jaunt.
Gotten me learning associations with everything..even with just my wood carvings and crafting things.
really just having a wonderful time and endless enjoyment.
So thank you 💖
The first Question, my opinion of course, I would recommend studying as to who and why you are casting a spell as you must realize that you are drawing into the power of mighty forces and if you “do it” just to test these forces, you could harm yourself and or another person therefore reading and knowing the basics primarily would be safe and wise, but I digress 😊 I hope this helps someone beginning on their path, many blessings 💜
3:50 to 4:30 just 👏🏻
The way you described it! It was so amazing. It felt like you were describing love, but love is magic in a way. Lots of love (aka magic)❤️
I love hearing your thoughts. Thanks for sharing.
I really appreciate what you said about feeling rather than visualizing.
Yes do a series of beginning herbalism.
Im so happy that you and Hazel have each other. That was my main concern for you when you moved away, was that you wouldn't have your dogs. Now you'll never be lonely. Enjoy WA, I love it and miss the ocean! TY!
Just made my tea and now I’m about to get cozy and watch. Thank you for another video 💙
I can’t believe how much Hazel has grown 😭💙💙💙
I know! She's getting so big!
I'm so happy to hear you mention working with local resources and how that can vary by location. I really feel that people get caught up in needing something specific, and forget about the bounty available in their own backyards. Every location has something to offer.
I truly enjoy watching your videos... You have such a soothing voice... It’s so soothing that I wouldn’t have to drink a cup of camomile tea to relax all I have to do is listen to you...😊 You were on point with all your responses, especially the one about marriage... One does not have to be married or have a baby to feel complete... Believe me don’t rush into it... I’ve been wanting to learn your craft, it intrigues me ver much... I can’t thank you enough on how grateful I am that you shared this video... Bless it be...🙏🏻
Yes please do teach us more about herbalism! You make it feel so natural and accessible. I have looked at online courses but the financial aspect and impersonal feel to it just makes it feel out of reach. If you were to impart some of your knowledge I truly believe it would guide and inspire so many of us to live a healthier and more connected lifestyle.
Would love some herbalism vlogs ir kitchen witch herbalism. Thks for the hard work❤❤❤❤
100% yes for the herbalism video!
Would love basic herbalism and other witchy herbs videos. 😁🌿
Today I am grateful for you. For your advice and wisdom. For your calming aura and the little seeds of healing that you send out in your voice. Thank you ❤
Thank you for this! I'm finishing my thesis this week and not taking the best care of myself-it's hard to take the extra time and effort when I feel simultaneously tired and restless-but your gentle, attentive approach to everything you do is so inspiring to me and I just ate two kiwis and did some yoga and feel so much more peaceful. Hope you're well and best wishes from Iceland!
Yes please herbalism series!! 🌿🍄❤️
Great Q&A! Thanks for being so open and vulnerable! I'd love an herbalism basics series! I learn best by watching on RUclips videos than reading books (I have major ADD so reading and actually remembering what I read is difficult).
Yes, to the herbalism and foraging. Thx
We missed you
Please share more about herbalism! I’m looking into starting the herbalism school and it would be amazing to learn from you also!
You live in WA? I live in WA! I hope one day we cross paths. You are one of my favorite spiritual mentors (in a sense, you help inspire me and I feel so informed by your videos).
Your life change is significant in the redirection of the elder vibration we are all feeling, not unlike the pebble in the lake. The strongest positive influence is in urgent need.
thank you for doing this! I don't practice, but I am sensitive to living things, mostly trees. It makes me hurt, not physically but I guess spiritually. we heated with wood for many years and it sometimes almost like I could hear them screaming! doesn't sound good does it! I don't think I am crazy! anyway I would be intensely interested in learning more about herbalism! I always learn so much! xoxo
i cant wait to see what videos you will upload next.The videos you make are so helpful and relaxing. you are the best!!!
I love hearing you speak and with this background music, it is sheer bliss and peace. Thank you for doing this.
It calms me to know you and others like you are moving to my home state... Washington is a sacred place, and it needs more who care about its beauty and health. Growing up in that rainforest was magickal, and I hope it brings you the same joy and magick it brought to me :3 It was also cool to see you got meet Olivia! You guys are big inspirations into my craft!
So glad I found your channel!! Perfect example of ask and u shall receive!!! I definitely needed some guidance and I've already watched 3 of ur vids today. I totally vibe w everything u do and I really want to learn more green witchcraft... my ultimate goal is to be able to make everything I need naturally, salves, soap, candles, etc.. ! I can't wait to binge watch ur videos 😂
Hiii omg I think I'm first and I love your videos it's calm and positive
It is so wonderful to see you back hear the new things each day is a new beginning as it for myself. Take it slow and one day at a time.
It is so good to see this Q and A and tk see Hazel feeling better! I would love to see videos on herbalism and basic witch craft actually. I think a green witch 101 would be awesome!
Damn, girl, your vids, your intros, get better and better. Seriously! Your vids are a safe place, a place of solace and comfort. Can't even convey how welcome, how necessary this time is for my sanity. Thank you! Hope your day goes well and that you feel the calm I do now after watching your vid. 🌿💓🌿 BTW Zulily, an online catalog of time limited, limited product, offerings of great priced, fun stuff, has t-shirts with the most fun tarot, magical, spiritual, cheeky messages. They'll run out soon and the line will be pulled within a few days. You might love them like I do.
I LOVED this. I'm consistently trying to dive more into Magick, so I love seeing others' thoughts and taste.
Hi! 👋🏻 I’m a new subscriber!
I love the peaceful and enchanting style of your videos and the information you share about witchcraft is amazing and put in a wonderfully simple way to understand. Thank you for helping me learn and grow! Blessed be. 🙏🏻
You're looking beautiful and glowingly happy, Annie. ♥
Every video you’ve made, every topic you’ve covered, have been informative and beautiful. I’m really interested in hearing how you transition to your new home, specifically incorporating it into your magick and just how you feel/explore the different energies. I add a vote to wanting to hear more about herbs and cooking as well!!
I absolutely loved your description of what magic feels like to you ❤️
I went "back in time" to this video. I loved seeing your dog as a puppy. :)
Hello, Just wanted to say thank you for these Q&A's. Your answers to the questions are truthful and honest!!
Yay! Thank you so much for answering my question
i really appriciate your new videos. a lot changed and it's really visible. all the best for you!
I loved this video thank you so much. I loved the tips for people who can't visualize and still wish to practice magic (I'm one of them!) I found meditating is also difficult but guided meditations have really helped me. I get so excited anytime you put out content. Thank you!
The first youtube Q and A I have seen with such thoughtful, deep, and soulful questions! Bravo to your audience, and to you Annie for magnetizing them!
Thanks for answering my question and so many other questions!
When I closed my eye's after looking at you and faced the 🌞, I seen a Big Beautiful ❄ made of colors I can't discribe cuaght in perpetual calidascope motion!
My absolute favourite thing on your chanel are the magical recipes. I love putting magic into the food I cook especially as I have children, I can't wait to see more.
Sending you much love and light from the UK
Basic herbalism series would be amazing!
Lovely to see this channel of yours. I have followed your other channel more so, though find your creativity here very beautiful. I miss seeing you with such beautiful, long hair. :) said as a Mum. Short suits you also, though long is truly beautiful on you. Stay well. Hazel has grown so much since these early days. So precious.
I just wanted to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. I am grateful for your channel as I have started my own path....and figuring out what that is. You have a beautiful spirit. Thank you
I’m always interested in your knowledge of herbalism! I could see you writing your own cookbook with magical correspondences! I’m in Washington as well and would love to see how you work with the bounty of this state.
4:35 For anyone else struggling with visualization, might I offer another tip?? It kind of builds on what Annie said about externalizing your intentions: Don't be afraid to utilize EXTERNAL visuals to help set and guide your intentions for a spell. Mood/vision boards can be very powerful!!! You can make them IRL (collages made from magazine cut-outs, doodles, poetry or mantras that you've read or written yourself, even found objects) as well as digitally. Pinterest is hugely helpful for creating digital mood boards or vision boards, and it's FREE... aaand you can even carry your "visualized" intentions around with you in your pocket (ie. your cell phone)! These methods of external visualization can be extremely useful for those who struggle to conjure compelling imagery in their mind's eye.
Would love it if you did a herbalists course
Loved this and yes yes yes to any herbal instructions you care to share especially a class🙃
i love your videos!! i hope you can make one specifically about offerings! 💕💕
Her voice brings me peace
A method I really like for discarding things is adding them to my compost pile so they can be broken down into nourishment to go back into my garden and help create new life and abundance.
I don't do this for everything but with certain workings I love it.
Also, WA represent! 🔮
Heck yes to the herbalism course! Please and thank you 😊
This was such a wonderful video I took notes and will certainly be using so much of this in my practice going forwards like using how I feel not just relying on visualisation which is hard to do so thank you xx
I would love love love to have you as our herbalism teacher 🥺💕
It’s so cute to see Hazel as a whittle baby! Just found your channels.
Been consuming your vids all out of order, but that’s fun too!
Being disabled, I've been having a hard time with my craft. Before being a green witch, I was trained and taught the druidic way, the folk magick of my people, that no one would call witchcraft. So, I had things "figured out", I suppose, simply because I was taught, and because being a Druid is very different from being a Witch in some ways, and similar in others. But I've felt very alienated by the witchy community, as a disabled person. So many things are hard for me, because they're presented to you in able-bodied ways online. And I've been wondering how people with visual disabilities deal, or if they can even be witches in the way internet and the online community seems to define it. Visualization is hard, when you've never seen anything in your life, just like ceremonial magick is impossible to me because of the limitations of my broken body.
Just like you, Annie, I'm not a performer in that sense, I don't do ceremonial magick. I'm a Gallic witch, a druid, and as comfortable as I feel in my practice, I feel very alone because I haven't met anyone else online who practices in similar ways, believes in the same principles, worship the same gods, respect the same spirits and feys. It's strange, right? How such a great community feels so alienating to me, and to other disabled people, if what I've seen online is anything to go by.
Thank you for your videos, they help with that feeling, and I feel a bit less alone when I watch them.
And if you're also a disabled witch, or a celtic practitioner, a druid, a gallic witch, please reply to this. I would love to talk.
Hi I am a Welsh disabled, druidic witchcraft "learner". I can identify with a lot of what you have said. It's nice to know I'm not alone as sometimes it feels such a lonely place (social anxiety doesn't help 🤔)
Such a beautiful place to live.
Yesssss herbalism basic series!!
I love to learn from you.
Thank you for giving us your knowledge 🤗
Living the dream. Sending love.
I would absolutely love to learn more about herbalism. Thank you for sharing your experiences, it has been truly inspiring.
Hope your new place is peaceful and abundant. Thank you so much for the work you do and the peace these videos bring. I’m a baby green witch and have always
Been attracted to herbalism. Im inspired by you. Much love and blessings from Champaign Illinois. Denise
Gariepy
Looks like you puppy is getting better ♡♡
And thanks for the info
When she described magick as like that rush you get when you like some one that was like the perfect way to describe it for me cause weirdly that's the same way I feel when I do magick. So ya pretty cool
I too am studying Herbalism enrolled in school at this time and so much fun would love to learn from you
Re: the question about visualization, I just read a bit in "Treading the Mill" that was interesting (and made me laugh) - the author Nigel G. Pearson writes on pg. 130, "Now, there are a lot of people who say that they cannot visualize, cannot see pictures in their head - piffle! Everyone can! If you couldn't visualize making a cup of tea, you would become very thirsty. If you couldn't see yourself clothed, then it might be rather embarrassing for you or the people around you. To be able to do something, we - all of us - have to be able to visualize it first. When people say that they can't do this, they just mean that they do it so often without thought that it's not a conscious thing and they don't realize it. The point is in bringing it on to a conscious level, directing and focusing it into the areas or places that we swish to visit or things we wish to achieve. And this takes practice!"
I can't speak to this because it's not an area I struggle with, but it reminded me as a vocal coach of people who claim they are "tone deaf." It's actually extremely uncommon to be truly tone deaf - if you can hear the difference between the happy birthday song and the latest pop hit, for example, congrats! You're objectively not tone deaf. But often for folks who feel they are "tone deaf" it's more that they struggle with being aware of the connection between their vocal muscle movements and the sounds that result. This connection can be improved with practice, even by those who don't come by it naturally at all.
I also have a hypothesis that the modern obsession with screens is a major contributing factor to the number of people who struggle with visualizing, but that's another can of worms for another day. :D
I’m also a green witch in the state of Washington. I would love to hear more of what herbs you are drawn to and I’m always learning new things and would love to be on your journey with you as you discovery new things.
Blessings, what an absolutely wonderful explanation of self and green witchery! 💜🕯✨💫🌙
Love this video. Thank you. ❤
I’ve always thought that magick felt like holding sunlight and starlight in my palms, and feeling it flow through every vein in my body; beautiful and burning, fire and water combined.
Thank you so much for this beautiful video💚✨🌲
Question- from your parts about being an open witch. Do you feel it is inauthentic to not say that you are a witch on RUclips out of fear and of rejection? Wow. Just saying that it feels so wrong. I started making videos to be myself! Well that is part of the journey I guess. But I think it’s worth bringing up. There is still fear, even with people who are so independent (and I am girl). I think through your channel you can help normalize the practice. (As well as other you tubers)
@mermaidseawitch thank you for your kind words.
Yes please with the herbs babyyyy I need it, I love em 💖 I love u lol
The new background looks great!
