    I am just now getting into Wicca, Paganism and witch craft. Im studying all i can to determine my path. I have always had a love for witchcraft but was raised and Christian and was told it was wrong and evil. Even to this day my family feels this way but im still pushing for what makes me happy. So all of these videos you have made have really helped me so much!! Thank you Ella 💖

    THE LOST AND BESOTTED - Lili
    Full moon tonight, would you like to play? Come with me to the woods tonight
    We’ll take a drop of the Witches brew soaked in Mandrake root. Oh yes
    The marsh and bog won’t slow us down, the moon will show the meadow bright
    You’ll lay with me on the wet dew grass, the Spirits all will bless
    The love will flow like a torrent fast, the coupling goes on for ages
    We’ll last all night, through the laughter joy, until the morning light. -
    You’ll become besotted, deep in love but I’ve stolen your true Spirit
    It was nothing but a night of love and now I own your soul
    There’ll be many more I’ll take along, they’ll all become my slaves
    They’ll procure the sweet young flesh, the blood to fill our bowl
    And when the number counts to ten, the first three all will die
    I’ll take three more to the meadow deep, slaves we will control. -
    They can’t resist the lure of sex and then we share our blood
    Oh pretty please my handsome man you don’t know what’s in store
    The Coven takes, the Coven gives, and you will give your life
    Hypnosis deep and potions strong, Succumb to Satan’s whore
    Chained far in the forest now confusion fills your mind
    Go steal the young when we demand, this is the Sabbats lore. -
    And when we’ve finished with your soul you’ll sink into the mire
    Replaced with others young and strong who cry to do our bidding
    There’s forests deep all through the land and secrets very dire
    People lost might wander through, lost forever or just hidden
    We’ll keep them lost till Sabbats time and then they’ll join our throng
    The wine the Blood, the Water, Life. Be lost or come, belong.
    Blessed be.

    So i feel bad for saying this; I've only recently decided to get back into my faith. I started my Wiccan studies back in Dec 2010. I never got to fully explore it while living in my mother's house as she did not want it in there. I identified as Pagan then but couldn't even partake in any holidays. I had to stop everything and, after recently finding my 'Draft' Book of shadows (called it that until it was informed enough to transfer it to another one) it looks like I stopped Aug 2011. Recently turned 30 and now after living on my own now for almost 3yrs, I decided to get back into it and was wondering should I restart my year and a day before self dedicating? Should I start over a new book? Should I treat everything as a newbie? Very sorry to be a bother

    • @EllaHarrison
      @EllaHarrison  3 года назад +4

      Not a bother at all! I would say its a good idea to completely start as a newbie especially as so many new books have been released and back in 2010 I remember books were much more limited and of course a lot has changed, even within the craft. I would say if you want to do a self dedication and you want to do a year and a day, start that from the beginning too! For Wicca I highly recommend Thorn Mooney as author
      Best wishes on your journey! 🤍

    • @EllaHarrison
      @EllaHarrison  3 года назад +8

      Christmas is based on the Pagan holiday Yule or Jul - I definitely suggest looking into that more! Most Christmas traditions are Pagan and present in Wicca so it is really easy to adapt and still celebrate with your family and not ‘notice’ much of a difference (especially if your family doesn’t yet know you are a Wiccan) 🤍

    • @DocRockBaby
      @DocRockBaby 3 года назад +4

      Of course you can, Christmas (Yule) is a Pagan holiday so is Easter (Ostara) and Halloween (Samhain) the church took those holidays and mixed them into their own teachings, I`m a Pagan (Tuatha De Danann) my beliefs pre-date Celtic Paganism by about 5500 years, I know a lot about Wicca and how it was developed by Gerald Gardner (British civil servant) and it was introduced to the public in 1954, I could say so much more about that guy but its not my place ;) I wish you well on your Wiccan journey may your mind be ever clear and your heart forever blessed, Peace and love to you from Ireland Sister...

    • @EllaHarrison

      Traditionally you would have The Goddess, often the Triple Goddess or Mother Nature Goddess and then you would have in Wicca the God in the form of the Horned God (split into the oak King and the Holly God). However, a lot of people like to work with specific patrons that they feel connected too

      You might find secular witchcraft interesting, it’s more of the belief in energy around us in nature, but no Gods etc, and some also have a more ‘scientific’ approach. Chaos Magick is also interesting, it’s name doesn’t mean its chaotic magick, it just is a very specific sort of approach to magick in that you do whatever gives you results even if it seems a bid odd for example

    Ok I have a question, I am on the verge of self-harming again and I am a witch. What do wiccans think about self-harm? What would happen to my magic and my energies? I have a lot of questions like that, anyone have any answers?

    • @EllaHarrison
      @EllaHarrison  3 года назад +7

      I used to self-harm for 5 years, Wicca helped me a lot in healing. Honestly the best advise I could give myself would be to try and find someone to help you and understand you, as your feelings are absolutely valid and you deserve to talk it through.
      Also, what helped me was to view my body as a part of nature and as something sacred, just as I would not cut an animal or a tree to harm them, I tried to apply that to my own body too. But - it is hard and I relapsed a lot, it takes time to heal 🤍
      Wicca does have the Wiccan Rede which says ‘Harm None’ - however it is a poem and not law, you won’t be dismissed by Wicca/Wiccans or the Gods if you do relapse 🤍
