Hi Annie, I used your link and just tried to sign up for the wine and it is not showing the discount on my first box at check out? I don't want to enter my CC and then get charged full price? Any suggestions?
Sweet... Happy you have sponsorship to help you keep going and growing.... Never stop sowing because there is power in knowing and everywhere we sow will grow
Do you have a list of herbs for each season?
Not a green practice per say, but I've been feeding and growing a relationship with local birds. Literally in my yard. Leaving them carefully selected seed and making sure my water fountain is clean and safe for them. Its been a beautiful way to connect to nature, be proactive in helping native birds, and also having a little fun with my indoor only cats who love bird watching. It hits a lot of notes that have made me feel more connected. I've also gotten so SO many feathers as gifts, from all sorts of birds. It feels like the spirits themselves have been blessing me with feathers.
🌲🍀🐾It is a "GREEN" practice. A "Shamanic" practice, it is said that . . . " If you "speak" with animals, they will "speak" with you. And you will "know" each other". . .🐾🍀🌲.
I think that’s a wonderful idea I’m a older woman and it’s been bothering me about what I can do because outdoor gardening is something I can’t do anymore. I do have my window herb’s just a few but what you’re doing is a great idea for me so thank you You inadvertently paid it forward with your great comment.
I do this also! There is a local hawk that flies over my yard multiple times a day. I know cause he is missing a chunk of feathers. I wish I could feed him. But I just can't do live mice
Love it ...we try to do the same!! 🙌🤩🐦
❤️😊
This video is just perfect. I am feeling depressed, sad and completely disconnected from life at all. Not only I almost have no contact with nature, I am working from home and there is almost zero sunlight. You made me rethink how I am living my days and forgetting my practices. Thanks so much! Best wishes to you
🌲🍀🐾Get some 🌞 & 🌲🐿🌳🦉🦔🦊🌲time, it's a fact that 2 little Sunlight,4 2 long, can lead 2 depression🐾🍀🌲.
Sending love and healing vibes blessed be ❤️🤗
Pathose is a vining plant that grows well inside with little light. It will bring some outside to your inside and make you feel an outside energy. It also cleans the air very well.
Hi, I hope you are feeling better. I work from home, too, and it's a challenge, even with a bright room. Have you considered moving? One of the great perks of working from home is, you can move and keep your job. 🙂
Part 5 is the reason I got into herbalism. I was trying to see why herbs had certain magickal associations and it didn't make sense to me until I looked into actual folk remedies. Instead of being afraid that certain herbs weren't edible or the preparations didn't make sense and felt wasteful, I am able to properly use these plants and give back to nature and my loved ones. Now I've completely turned my attention toward herbalism specifically to learn (and practically use!) plants. It is SO empowering! Completely agree with you!
What did you use to learn about herbalism?
Oh one thing I miss loving in Slovakia is the access to all the fresh herbs flower etc that just grows like weeds everywhere
Just a point about #3, alot of people skip/refrain from doing this because their families or partners may be religious and they can't show displays of these sorts, for whatever personal reason (respect for others, fear of retaliation,etc.).
There are plenty of ways to keep a magickal home however, the bells and whistles are only what make it special once you've found a space that is truly yours. Maintaining what you have to work with is your biggest focus, and has an immense effect on one's mental (or aural) health.
Very calming video, good tips ~
I'm one of the few males that is going towards this path, but I can only consider myself a novice "learner" at this time. As you mentioned, and it's one of the first things i've accomplished...is being much more aware of one's natural surroundings/connecting, even in the city. I work on an emergency ambulance, and I can still "hear" the call of a raven, even when i'm busy. BTW, your content is wonderful and your style reminds me of "Scarlet Ravenswood"
You should know that there are plenty of male practitioners out here. Enjoy your journey!!
Novice green witch here! I am a veterinary technician.
Hi! Male witch here! Nurse for a living
Male witch here who worships two dark goddesses. We exist. Happily married to a lovely woman and I work in a warehouse operating machinery.❤
My favorite way to connect with the natural world around me is going frog hunting in late summer 💚 🐸 Just finding them, not handling or removing them
I’m a fourteen year old who has been enchanted by witchcraft and decided to indulge in my own witchcraft and your videos have helped me become one with myself.
ME TOOOO ^^
Your vocabulary is quite advanced for a 14 yrs old
Yeah I also have decided the same .. only being 14..
Congratulations on being so young and already knowing your path forward. 🎉 Continued success.
yaaaass!! perfect timing! I'll watch while I'm canning peaches!
I struggle in the Summer with my witchery. Where I live the summers are so very hot that to go outside etc is difficult. I have filled my home with many different plants and find my joy inside rather then out. Then September through June I get to enjoy fabulous outdoor weather . If anyone experiences this please let me know how you cope.
It was a very hot July where I live, rainfall has gotten back to normal so it seems and is starting to cool off. What I have been doing is tending to my outdoor plants really early in the morning ( fortunately I'm an early riser) Hopes this helps
Yep, me too. I feel the witch in me regress in the spring and summer. It’s the fall and winter that I really blossom!
I understand that. I'm from the desert so mid June to late
August I don't go out much. My favorite thing to do is go outside before the sun rises to greet the day and center myself.
@@lilshippo sounds like you are close to me! I’m in Southern Utah
@@Charalldredge northern Nevada!
These are good tips :>
I am lucky enough to live near nature (mountains, forest, and ocean), I don’t do much magic outside of my home but visiting nature is a very good feeling. I also have a garden that I take care of. I’ve found along with harvesting things for the purpose of, well, using them, when I trim back plants I can also use those trimmings ^^ the other day my family had me cut back our Basil’s flowers so it would continue producing leaves, I have the flowers in my bedroom
I like living in a rural area, feels more chill. Also it's nice being able to connect with nature. I didn't realize how much I missed it until years ago when I had moved away then I moved back and after reconnecting to my craft.
New here! 👋
I started with tarot & astrology…
Working my way up to white magic! 💫
✨♉️♋️♌️✨
I love seeing the forest by where you live.
Oh wow, I've never been so early to a video in my life! Thank you for your presence on here and bringing a ray of sunshine to these...times.
Since I moved to a small town--I am truly a townie now, packed close with many other people who are curious about my every move--I have noticed a need to clear and ward a LOT. My lease runs out next month and I'm looking for a place in the country. I NEED the peace and space, and way less human energy. Nice video.
The reason I got into witchcraft was by learning herbalism. I learned about medicinal purposes of herbs, which led to interest in magic, and now I'm a practicing witch! :)
Tip from me, whenever your going shopping or foraging ingredients use the ability to see magic in the ingredients or crystals. You want to pick and chose berries and crystals that glow brighter than others. So if you have 2 quartz crystals that are the same shape size etc you would want to pick the one with more mana, aka the one that glows brighter. The brighter one will hold more magic will absorb more energy’s and will generally be better. I use this when going to search for crystals and the such and it helps me with magic batteries. Just a pro tip.
I love your content 🥰 Your videos really helped me find the inspiration and motivation to deepen my connection with nature. Even in times where my energy is rather low. Thank you so much ❤️✨
All excellent suggestions or reminders for those who already know. If one considers a home a reflection of one's self, it's very important to work on making it as much of a peaceful sanctuary as possible, and clean. "When a flower doesn't bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower." Alexander Den Heijar Thank you!
Seeing all the green and outside life makes me so excited for my move to the east. Thanks for this lovely video!
🌲🍀🐾Your SINCERE connection to the Green World is what draws me & probably others to you. I got that way from fishing, whilst wading in creeks,rivers,streams, and such. When a "Lady" such as yourself, talks about & shows respect for the Forests & All Natural Places, it always turns my head in their direction. Anyway you slice it, it's pure MAGICK😉. 🐾🌲🍀.
🏆🏆🏆
I’ve always felt connected to the wind and the rain and bodies of water. I love to see fish swimming around in lakes and even though I’ve never been to the ocean, I feel like it’s what my chakras need. I would love to finally start my journey and hopefully figure out all of the wonders it has to offer. Watching these videos have inspired me that I should start there and see what signs are brought to me. Not necessarily a green witch but maybe a blue one 💙 The healing properties water holds are wonderful and I would love to contribute back and heal the waters as well
You got me into witchcraft. Thank you so much
Are all witches as beautiful as you. You really do put me at ease . You are so relaxing and caring. Just love you❤
I have watched your channel for many years now. I totally agree with you about living in the city and how you long for mountains and forests. I finally got my son and I out of Los Angeles which felt like a ten-year prison sentence, but we moved up to Big Bear Mountains and I feel so alive here! What forest are you picking these beautiful flowers from?
I'm very new to this but I've been very drawn to it my whole life, these videos are helpful thankyou so much for them.
Something I love doing and makes me feel very connected with nature is simply laying down in my horses field, I could stay there for hours and I feel amazing afterwards
Lovely presentation, Thank You!
That’s one thing I love about magick even if I were to give the haters the fact that it’s not “real” in the way it’s used, it’s still very much real, some of it is based in medicine and some can be used like ink blots. So much of witchcraft is built in things that even without the spiritual aspect they are still very useful and important things to learn.
I have never commented on a sponcer before, but that card that came with the wine is very cool. I wish all wine makers did that.
Thank you for sharing . Yes I have been a practitioner for awhile, however I still have to be basically a closet witch. I have been ill since Wednesday with a bad cold. Your videos are so soothing and calming and I learn so much from them. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I hope you feel better soon fast.
Walking bare foot is so important to connecting to the Earth's energy.
I really need to work on getting to know my local plants more, great reminder!
Thank you for the content that you put out. Your voice is soothing and I’ve learned a lot.
I don’t even believe in witchcraft or none of that but all of your videos look like a fantasy movie 😍! I love the colors, the quality and everything 😍
I really enjoy your content. I’m interested in this craft and think it would fit great in my personal spirituality
Tending magically to my home is probably the number one thing in my practice. Since I have to tend to it every day anyway (tidy and clean) I can just as well incorporate some magic into it and make it a daily practice that doesn’t take a lot of extra effort. It’s also a very good way of combining having small children and practicing witchcraft actively. Makes the mundane witchy.
I absolutely love that idea.
Making the mundane (cleaning house) magical.
I keep telling myself that I need to start spending more time outside. I am a major house hermit and I know that that has been cutting me off from connecting to the Earth and it's energies. I feel...stunted? spiritually because of it. There's several reasons, probably more like excuses, as to why I don't go outside more but I definitely think I can start sparing at least 5 or 10 minutes a day to go outside and wak around my yard, pick up trash, sit by/talk to my big maple tree out front. I've also noticed this plant growing next to my deck that I have no idea what it is and I had an intense feeling the other day when I noticed it that I should go out and try to learn more about it so I guess I can add that to the list to.
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing knowledge and peaceful energy 🤍.
I have recently become infatuated with herbalism and have been experimenting and researching in my area thanks to your channel! I am excited to try making a salve, as plantain, selfheal and red clover are abundant on my property, and both of my small boys suffer from eczema. Thank you so much for the inspiration, it was a passion from my childhood with my mother that had fallen out of practice for me. I am so happy to be exploring it wih fresh eyes and new goals! 💚
Great advice for everyone 💚
I feel sooo connected to youu ... you are just .. cant explain in words ..
Firstly, I LOVE your wardrobe and I hope to have outfits like yours! I also absolutely agree with points 4&5. I remember growing up and not realizing that berries don't actually grow all year round so we have to ship them from faraway places that do not necessarily grow them naturally- just for the consumers to always have berries to buy which of course, is very taxing on the environment.
Because of industrial farming and medicine we have definitely lost touch with nature and the power of it and I really hope that society finds the benefits of a more green philosophy to their lives despite it not being the best decision economically.
I love the music you chose for this video ❤️❤️❤️
Your videos bring me so much joy!
Brightest blessings kind & shining light ✨ ☀️🌜🎶
i always felt that in some of your videos that the nature was familiar.. then i just realized today that we live super close! and i have been to some of the places in your videos lol
Annie, your videos are always so beautiful and inspiring!
These tips are so helpful.
Some of them are really important to me and my practice so it's nice to have a reminder!
Thank you so much for posting, this made my day!
Thank you! This was beautiful!
These videos are so helpful I subscribed to Annie recently and I’m so glad I did! I’m a new witch so this is very helpful for me.
I truly love your Patreon content, by the way. It inspires, educates, and just enriches my practice and my general, mundane daily life, as well. I thank you.
I love your Reishi necklace! I WOULD LOVE ONE!
Thank you for your knowledge, Annie. You genuinely are spectacular. That moment about learning one thing during one moon cycle … that really sparked the lightbulb to life. I was feeling overwhelmed and going way too fast, to learn it all at once. I am definitely going to try this method. Sending you and the pups tons of Love and Light 💖🕯
I AM IN LOVE WITH THE MUSIC AT THE BEGINNING...theres something so mystical about it...thanks Annie for yet another amazing video!!!
Witchcraft and ADD don’t really go because I feel like when I practice indoors my energy in the house gets really confusing and chaotic so now I have a rule to only do a ritual in the woods so it’s kind of a big thing because I live an hour away from the woods
I find it really hard to connect with nature because I live and work in the city but I try hard to spend time nature the best I can cause I really do feel uplifted and recharged. Besides it’s beauty it just refreshes me.
💖love you gurl! thanks for giving us the tools in which to help ourselves! 💌
Great advice! I've just begun my practice over the last 6 months, and am more elemental focused with a planetary focus down the road. The things you mention are what attract me to green witchcraft. I feel like I already kind of fall into most of this by pure coincidence. I'm an avid gardener and will be using many local wildflowers in my flower gardens next spring. I will not only be using them for my magickal practices, but also knowing I am helping the local bee population is simply a win win. I've also been cooking for the last 8 years and will continue to use what I grow in my food. The only thing I do not do yet is incorporate my herbs into any kind of medicinal practice. Over this next winter I would like to at least gain some basic knowledge on herbalism. I'll check out your other videos on that topic! Thanks so much for all you do here on your channel! :)
Thank you for this. I’ve been having a strong need to connect with nature and return to my herbal studies, and this video just confirmed what I’ve been feeling.
thank you for another wonderful video - informative & inspirational, as always 💜
Some of these were friendly reminders, and I do so much based around the cycles of the moon (and seasonal) and never thought to focus my understanding of an herb within a cycle. I love this suggestion and am going to try it. Thank you!
Without wanting I have been doing exactly all that.
I am still young so I don’t have a house, but I have dedicated my room to being a green witch
I greatly appreciate this video. I find myself wanting to strengthen my craft without being able to generate my own ideas. Thank you for these great practices!
Love this, thank you it's a great start. Im so excited to learn more about my local plants as I know our local fauna is prized for their medicinal properties. Lot of ancient history to it. Their is such beauty living in South Africa and I never want to take the fynbos floral kingdom for granted.
I find your videos relaxing. weather its your voice or not Im not sure but its comforting. I like nature myself. and I love animals. keep up the good work
Love this! All of these ideas are perfect
I love you!!! Thank you so much for your videos!!!!
I also have to say that usually I'm not really interested in the sponsors of videos, but this one I actually really liked. We produce our own wine (not to sell, just to drink with friends and family.. it's done a lot in the south of Italy), so I'm particularly interested in the topic and I've never seen anyone do a sponsorship with wine, as if it's some sort of taboo 😬. Don 't know exactly what the point is of my message here, but I just got excited 😅 and I love the way you make a sponsor interesting and beautiful!
I love your linen shirt and necklaces in this video!
MM & Thank you for sharing this information. I enjoyed the video and look forward to more like this. Blessings. MP
I really enjoyed this video about getting back to the basics. Many times we forget how much magical is in the mundane - without any effort! Simply pausing, observing, and slowing down can be all it takes. Thank you for this generous reminder
Love that imchuckiewannacrochet.
I bought a plant book in the winter and have slowly been identifying different species on my walks. When I get home, i find the plant I found in the book, read about it, then add in magickal properties on a sticky note to each page. I'm hoping to have that book filled out in no time! ^.^ also taking note of animals I see has proven useful. Any animals I see tend to confirm tarot or astrology readings. ☺️👍 and my home is witchy enough that I'm sure it makes the landlords a bit nervous when they come around for inspections hahahaha 😂🤣🕯
Love your videos!! I've learned so much from watching you. Thank you so much and blessed be.
Great reminders, thank you. Blessed Be💓🌟🌸🌿🌼
Wonderful, thank you! I love your content!! Newly discovered. Bless you 🌼🌸🌼🌱🌿🍀
love this video
Love this so much your videos are always so inspiring!
Also love a good wine 🍷
Oh grRl..I so needed to see this! Merry meet and merry part until I merry meet your videos agian💫
All your videos are fun 🥰
Hey I’m from the Columbia in Washington too! It’s been two years since I visited. I can’t wait to move back in fall! The southern desert is just not for me.
I love your content I have been following you for 2 years and just love everything you do❤️❤️you are inspiring. One question lol where do you get your cinnamon sticks?
Hi. I just discovered your channel. I'm 61 and have been interested in nature magic for many years. I am also a gatherer of local nature tidbits that I find beautiful but never understood how to use them magically. I have so many questions! What is the best way to educate myself on identifying and magical properties of plants I find locally? I live in south Jersey. Books ive had over the years are about common and uncommon herbs. I would love to learn how to use what grows naturally around my area. Do you use spells or enchantments to charge the seasonal things that you put around your home? I love displaying what I gather when I'm out walking my dog and would love to give them some magical energy and intent. I'm looking forward to exploring your content. So far you are the only creator who comes close to how I would love to practice. Simple uncomplicated connection nature energy around me. ✨️
Im a baby witch and this really helped me ❤
Thanks!
Ah me! All the witchy romance and mystery has gone out of herbs now that they're crammed into capsules at the drugstore.
You have such a lovely voice to listen to.
They were not only healers - also cursers.
Thank you!
Lovely video 🌱🌼🌿💚🌿🌼🌱
I love your mjolnir necklace! I'm norse pagan, just looking into witchcraft as (to me) it feels closely connected.
i love your style so much!! i'm not sure if you have before, but could you tell us where you get your clothes from?
Let's say these are suggestions... good ones at that. Self care is really the only should, because everything else follows that.
Absolutely right.
lovely video
I actually really liked the sponsor that you shared! 😝
Thank you 💛💛
Even your sponsor shoutout felt like some witchy alchemy. The secret 6th tip that witches should be doing…libations! 🍷
Thank you🌱💚✨
I love this video. I struggle with depression and it is still there and it's not getting better but worse but I'm trying my best to heal
I have depression and anxiety. I know exactly how you feel. It's worse now. Seasonal. It's dark on the East Coast at 430pm. Plus in the Northeast corner it's COLD. 🥶❄️
Amanda, you don't have to do "big things" everyday. Just focus on what you can do. If you can "do dishes, or a load of laundry", just do that. By the time you wash, dried, folded, put away clothes, linen. That's a big thing. Make sure you take care of yourself first.
Eat, nutritious meals, stay hydrated. In no time at all you'll be feeling better. BB
