I would 1000% watch a 3hr video on the Mayans!! I wish there was more interest in Mesoamerican and South American historical cultures. Thank you for the time and passion you shared with us over this important, too often overlooked, part of human history.
THANK YOU for this video!! I am Guatemalan living in here in Guatemala and its such a blessing learning and connecting every day with my ancestors and mayan practices and spirituality. I find it fascinating and NOBODY talks about it in the witchy community. I love your enthusiasm in learning about new cultures. If you have any books or resources about mayan occultism or spirituality please let me know, you are so culturally diverse in your knowledge and im always in the lookout for new things to learn! Thank you once again for shining a light into my culture
Thank you so much for such a sweet comment! ❤️❤️❤️
I live in a tropical climate and that is also the energy that I sense. It’s primal/raw/ uncultured/ pristine/ ancient (trying to find the right words) but unbelievably powerful. It feels feminine to me. I like to do one particular guided meditation and this person always senses Mother Earth as a warm feeling of mama love. When I connect there is no warm fuzzy mama love energy there. It’s a different feminine energy. But it’s not only the earth, the forest also doesn’t feel “kind.” Especially when I compare it to the US and European countries. No one understands me when I tell them what I sense, so I’m delighted hearing your observations.
I fully understand. People forget that nature is not only nurturing and 'motherly' it's also wild, destructive and dangerous.
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective on this! ❤️❤️
Ivy can I just say how impressive it is that you do such a good job at structured informational videos, but also interviews, but ALSO vlogs?! I really enjoyed this blog. and totally get why you decided to cut out the 20 min post cave stream of consciousness, but just wanted to let you know that I think lots of people would be very welcoming and happy to hear anything more emotional if you ever felt like you wanted to share. That said I know the internet can be awful + short attention spans so always do what’s best for you ❤
That is seriously so sweet of you to say!!! Thank you! 🖤🖤🖤
I totally second that! ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this beautiful adventure with us. I love the information that you shared. I agree that the Mayan culture and history are seriously underrated. I remember having a complete obsession with the Maya when I was young. Something that I didn't remember until seeing your footage. I felt the energy in my heart center. Also, your hair looks stunning!
I agree with all this!
Making another comment, I would sit through 3+ hours of an Ivy The Occultist video any day and if it is a video about something that I am passionate about too I would gladly sit through any amount of hours just to listen to all of it. I am that type of person lol. I am calling you out Ivy (love you lmao going back to the video now lol)
LOLLLLL thank you friend, I appreciate that! 😆❤️
I second the motion ❤
Yes!!! I agree!
Seeing the absolute passion and reverence you have for the history of humanity is beautiful, and brought me to tears. There's something so powerful about acknowledging the distant past and seeing how strikingly similar yet vastly different we are.
Thank you so much! 🙏 I agree, there is something so powerful about acknowledging the past. 🖤🖤
I would watch for hours!! Like I watched this video on my phone, first curling my hair, then I baked a cake, then I fed my daughter twice. I put on my air pods and I multitask watching vids. Some minutes I can watch, and some minutes I can only listen, like when my daughter wants my attention, but I find all your vids interesting, all of them! ❤
I love this so much! It's so cool to know what you're doing on the other side of the camera! ❤️❤️
33:26 Totally agree. I live in the tropics and have rainforest close by, and it's very similar. Sitting and meditating in the rainforest is so soothing, and it just slows everything down. It's like a cocoon.
So glad you feel similarly! 🖤
Traveling to ancient civilizations to uncover esoteric knowledge is probably the dopest thing you can do! Good stuff Ivy! You should definitely call yourself the wandering witch! 🤘🍎🐍
This is amazing. For the record - I would most definitely watch a 3 hour video of your content. (Honestly probably more than once) and I believe im not the only follower that would. This is so interesting and I want thank you so much for sharing this experience as I cannot physically go. I appreciate you and love you and your content. Thank you!
Hahaha well thank you so much! ❤️🙏🫶
I so agree with you! ❤❤❤
I would totally watch a three hour video from you, I know it would be good 😊
This was lovely and I'm in the "longer videos are cool" camp. My theory on plant energy is that a lot of it has to do with their relationship to water. I grew up where the border of Texas and Louisiana meets the Gulf Coast around lots of marsh, swamp, and bayou land and the plants there tend to have a "heavier" energy than the pines and oaks found more up North. I suspect that plants that have to constantly process lots of water tend to have this feel to them. Also, the area I live in is subtropical, not fully tropical, but we have very brief winters so the plants here don't really go into a "shut down" mode of retreat or hibernation and I think that flavors their energy as well. I've only ever lived in a place with "real" winters for one season and was very stunned at how the plants withdrew their energy during that time. The sun and water cycles of a place seem to determine the behavior and energy of plants in an area, in my experience.
There's a very distinct type of energy in pre-columbians ancient sites which I love to experience, and I'm in awe of. And love your natural hair Ivy!
I got a record for Christmas one year and I think it was called "The zodiac: cosmic sounds", you're suppose to listen to it high and in the dark. Thought you might enjoy that one.
Oh, also, I would love yo hear your emotional stream of consciousness video!❤
Well I'm so glad you're interested but that footage has been long deleted 😂😂😂
Being a history nerd (amateur historian), I have been waiting for this video!! Always loved Mesoamerican history and the cultures within it. Makes my heart happy whenever other people talk about it or bring awareness to the nations that have such beauty rich history/ Thank you for making this video!!
This looks like such a spiritually enriching trip! I loved seeing the passion you have for the people and their magic.
For the record I would totally have watched a 3 hour long video 😂
😂😂😂 thank you! ❤️❤️
Fascinating and truly impressive. Those caves...
Thank you for sharing this with us. 🙏
Welcome home! I love all your videos and this one is superb. Wow, Belize City has changed a lot since I was there, but that was 1977 so not surprising really. The rainforest is still beautiful and that's what counts for me. That powerful low frequency energy is exactly what I recall feeling there, and it's a powerful part I think or perhaps a harmonic of Earth's energy which I absorb intentionally in meditation. The celestial bodies giving me their energy at those times sound higher frequency choral notes, and Earth's energy comes at a powerful, strong, low frequency. It doesn't surprise me that Earth's rainforests are the places on her surface where her song is felt most clearly.
Thank you so much! So sorry; I am just now seeing this comment. I admit, I have been taking more time to introvert these days and have only been reading comments for a few hours after a video is posted. But I wanted to thank you for sharing your experience!
Thank you Ivy, for this interesting and beautiful Vlog 🙏🏾🤍
This is such a cool vlog! Especially, the cave exploration scene where y’all discussed the importance of the cave. I would like to see a video about your culture shock experience.
I’d watch a 3 day video on Mayans. Thanks for sharing! Loved your geographical energy comparison too!
I had no idea there were so many different Mayan languages! I didn't know Tikal was so big either. I have to finish watching later tonight but I can't wait. It blows my mind the distances that stuff was traded way back when. What a trip! So jealous! I had trouble connecting to the energy at Stonehenge when I visited like a decade or so ago. It was SO busy and full of people when I saw it.
Beautiful video, thank you for this. Loved seeing all the ruins and your personal insights on the energies etc That shell pendant is so perfect for Venus.
Oh Ivy! When you were canoeing in that cave I was tearing up. It was reaching and touching my feels. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful experience with us. Much love
I'm so glad you could feel it through the screen!! ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing what you learned about the Mayans and their culture. I love learning more about them. I have one of the calendars made of clay and I love it so much. Your respect and emotion for all of it was truly felt. You looked so beautiful in the botanical garden. You looked joyful and excited.
Thank you so much, lovely!! ❤️❤️
Can't thank you enough for sharing your adventures so that I may live vicariously through you!
Hi Ivy, thanks for sharing with us this beautiful holiday of yours. It is definitely a trip that my husband and I would love to go on one day soon. About the thing you said where the tropical forest has this low and deep guttural energy… so I live in hot tropical Singapore and it is very humid here. Due to this high-level of humidity, the “ turnover” time of plants and creatures is just as high, therefore there is a thick layer of decay, fungi, and underground living things moving about, which is a very integral part of the ecosystem. So in witchcraft sense, there is a huge necromantic energy, mixed with fresh, living energy and with the heat thrown in, a tropical forest is a sorcerer’s playground because it has all four elements.
Glad you and Mr. Corvus are back safe! Belize looks incredible! It has been on my bucket list for a while. That boat trip through the caves looked spectacular! Tikal is added now for sure! Sorry that you got sick. I'm glad it was near the end of the trip. Fresh garlic and ginger root can usually be found in stores and markets all over. Ginger is a great expectorant and diaphoretic, also anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial . Great as a tea. I used ginger candies on a long bus trip through the mountains of Costa Rica for car sickness. It worked!
Yes, I love ginger!!! It was really interesting because all the grocery stores we visited only had canned food and rotting fruit. There were no fresh vegetables except the vegetables you buy on the side of the road from people's backyard gardens. We stayed in really poor areas so finding any sort of supplies was a struggle!
And thank you!! YES please visit Tikal!!
I enjoyed every second of this long video!! I am so happy you connected so deeply with the Mayan civilization! I was literally feeling every second of your passionate explanation of how you connected to the temples, the caves, the jungles! I am mayan descendant by the way. ❤
What a magnificent trip and what beautiful destinations you have chosen! We feel all the beauty of the Mayan sites and the wild nature in places. What an adventure in the cellars!
Ouch ouch ouch Lobsang Rampa!!!!
You have visited some sublime beaches and what superb shells or other items you have found!
Your bungalow or hotel reservations were nice and everything seemed peaceful. except of course the birds sometimes... :
Ivy - Thank you! Thank you for sharing the beauty and intelligance that is the Mayan Culture. I truly appreicate you sharing the fact that it was an honor for people to give themselves for better of community. The Mayans are forgotten when it comes to their knowledge, their Goddess, Goddess, their knowledge of the land, the medicine the land offers, and they were amazing astrologists. I think that the energy you may have experienced in the jungle was balance and haramony. The people knew that balance was essential - and that everything was connected and honored. Again, thank you so much for sharing your experiences and the wisdom of this beautiful culture. (Although I couldn't take in the image on the coconut shell you shared but It's propbably Ixchel, the moon goddess) 🙏
Wow, I loved this.. Thank you so much for sharing..
I absolutely love this video and I'd love to see more of your trip, the people as well. ❤❤❤ hope you're all well again. ❤ so many amazing impressions. Thank you so much for sharing this! And, btw, watched it in two instalments, but I watched all of it. And I loved how you talked about your spiritual experiences as well and the Mayan culture. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! 🙏❤️
@@IvyTheOccultist 🥰🥰🥰
When you were showing the caves and when you were speaking on your spiritual experiences there, I could feel my heart fluttering in my chest. It’s as if I can feel how deeply connected and touched you were through the screen, and that’s not something I have experienced often. I’m truly amazed! And, as a double-Virgo, I deeply admire your organizational skills when relaying information. It is SO impressive and appreciated!!
I loved this blog. Ase ancestors 🌹🌹🌹⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow THOSE CAVES were so magickal for me i cant think about anything else 😊 ty ivy for this awesome vid wow what a trip so amazing and cool 💜 tytyty
I am loving this video! And, I certainly WOULD watch a 3 hour video!
Fascinating!! Omg how beautiful, what an amazing trip, thank you for sharing this with us.
16:41 I’ll just say, keep these videos as long as you want them to be Ivy. I am knitting and crocheting while I listen and watch this video. I am always looking for content to craft (with my MANY hobbies, witchcraft included!) to so a three hour long video is not a problem with me. As long as you keep them coming and enjoy what you are making! I genuinely look forward to and love each and every one of you videos you upload! And you are a fabulous teacher! Love from Australia 🇦🇺🦘
Haha thank you! I appreciate that! ❤️
❤❤ I’m from Guatemala 🇬🇹
Glad you had the privilege to visit my homeland .
I would love to hear about the culture shock, it's always interesting to learn about different cultures
Thank you for sharing this wonderful vlog. It’s so interesting and could have watched much more about this.
I love anything to do with the ancient Mayans and this was the next best thing to actually being there. Thank you very much ❤
I loves this! ❤ you are right! They are interedting. You could do them in parts! My family goea back yo the Basque, Axtek, and Mayan, so this was great! I always wanted to see and learn more.
Please do the culture shocks! I love traveling and seeing all the difference. We have been to Belize a few times but via cruise so didn't get to go all over like you did
I think I will! ❤️
Wonderful video! Culture Shock video: YES, please! I think of all the places I traveled when I was younger before kiddos and I don't know why, but I guess it never occurred to me to video those trips. Now I wish I had! Vlogging wasn't a thing back then in 2021-2025 so it didn't occur to me. What amazing memories you are making!
Thank you for sharing the firecracker bird with us! 😂💕 His sound makes me so happy! ❤
This was awesome! I love the history of the Maya. I think we have to remember their practices may been seen as barbaric now by modern standards, but a lot of that came from the interpretation of the invaders. Like you said, their sacrifice was for the survival of their people. Strange isn’t it how we see the gladiators in Rome as romanticised and yet other cultures are seen as barbaric🤷🏻♀️
It may have been some kind of water spirit, the cenotes are believed to be protected because they were entrances to the underworld. Plus these were the places people found water naturally, most of the structured pools were man made to catch the water.
Just a weird note about the star apple; one of Venus’ symbols is the 7 pointed star and she also has associations with apples! Perhaps she was saying Thankyou to you for honouring her 🥰
I’m in the uk, but on national geographic on Disney + there are a couple shows by a guy called Albert Lim. He explores a lot of Mayan cities and parts that are still being excavated. They are really worth a watch.
Oh Ivy , what an amazing adventure for you and your husband! Thankyou so so much for sharing with us🙏
I love your observation about the apples and thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!! 🥰
Yes, please do make a video on culture shocks
Hey Ivy thank you SO SO much for filming this and taking us along, considering that this was, your honey moon...so again, thank you!! Everything was breathtakingly amazing. And I LOVED those birds...WILD! How did you sleep?? Lol...
Sleep? What is sleep? 😂😂❤️
The turtle got me. 🥹 so sweet! 🌞
Love the video. It is always great to explore other cultures❤❤❤blessed be
You could do the videos in parts . . . I love the incites, facts, history. Glad you had fun
What an amazing trip! That painting is gorgeous!! I think the culture shock video would be really interesting. Take time to rest and recover from your trip.
Thank you so much Ivy!! Loved the video, well done honey😎😘
Thank you! 🥰🫶❤️
awesome...!!!
i currently live on a tropical island in Thailand. I grew up in Africa and lived in the Middle East for 9 years.. i get what you are saying about the rainforest..
I love that lizard with fruit in it's mouth 😂🤣😂🤣 220 miles! WOW!! He's smart for using a laser pointer lol I LOVE hearing people talking about earth as if she is alive, I love animistic viewpoints.
"No one will watch a 3 hour long video" Try me Ivy 😂🤣 I heard the Neptune song in an Uber ride a few years ago and I liked it! I would have reacted the same way, is it human? Is it animal? No a spirit. I'm going to have to look into that book "The Hermit". Omg a sea turtle. A culture shock video would be interesting.
Haha!! Save your time... That book The Hermit really wasn't as enlightening as I hoped it would be 😆
@@IvyTheOccultist Lol thank you for the quick review 😆
I would definitely watch a 3hr video of yours. ❤
Welcome home!
Thank you! ❤️
I live in the tropics (Philippines), and while I was listening to your description of the tropical jungle, I thought, "Ooh, I hear slow, deep shamanic drums in my mind's ear." And then you said "low pounding drum." 😳
Absolutely amazing post. How are you! It must have been a pretty heavy experience going into those caves. 💐
It was a lot emotionally, but completely worth it!! ❤️❤️
Love this video Ivy! I wanted to add a thought about human sacrifice. There are witten and archeological sources showing that Greek, Celtic , Germanic and many other cultures used human sacrifice. Very thoughtful commentary Ivy!
I was just at the ruins in Tulum, so amazing!
I had to stop the video for a moment. When you entered the caves I had a full body visceral reaction. Never felt anything like it. Okay back to watching 😅
Oh... It was totally surreal in there!!!
Love this! There is a difference between a "spiritual" traveler and... ?? a traveler? When I travel, I seek out the cultural, the churches, the forests/nature...and if I see a cemetery, I'll respectfully visit that as well. My coworker/co-travelers don't get me - LOL When we share pictures after our trips - their pics are full of people & my pics are full of trees, churches and cemeteries. 🤣
Hahaha it's so true... Love this!
Awesome as always, love your content 😊 come visit Philippines, the island of sorcerers and witch doctors...
I really like your takeaways here. I a practitioner of Mayan Magic and come from a Kaqchikel lineage. If possible I’d like to have a discussion about the topic.
Loved this video! I also bring objects related to planets/deities for my practice. Seashells from Cyprus for Venus, dried olives from Athens for Athena, Etna's ashes for Hephaistus... that kind of stuff... And your curls look a*m*a*z*i*n*g!
Love that you are doing this too! And thank you! ❤️
I went to Tikal when I was a stupid petulant teenager, and did not really know how to appreciate it, I went there a years later and was able to grasp some of what I had missed, but If feel if I went there now I would view it with far more veneration and know what to look for so Im dying to return once more.
I would love a culture shock video
Ok this sounds crazy, but i thought i saw an animal on a ledge as you went through and I also think the energies you felt cane through on the video because i completely got the same feelings... fabulous video.. i know nothing of Mayan's so off I go to read.....
I'm interested in the culture shock✋
Ivy, do you have a video about your visit to Stonehenge?
Girlfriend, just so you know: Somebody would watch this video if it was 3h long! (*It's me. 😄✨ I'd watch it with pleasure!)
LOLLLL I appreciate that so much! 😆❤️❤️
Me, too!!!
Me too! Or do 3 different 1 hour.
Same!
💟
This sounds silly, but the energy you were feeling was just RAW _life_.
I wonder if the nice presence you felt was Ixchel above ground and she was the divine presence ..
I would subscribe for just long videos😂
Hahaha I appreciate that! ❤️❤️
Just found this video & glad you enjoyed Tikal Guatemala & Belize. I went to Exactly the same places as you did but a lot more of Guatemala. I was lucky enough to go 45 years ago. It was breathtaking ! The energy in Tikal is like nothing I had experienced at the time. I can't believe what it looks like now. Such a shame. So completely different. I am surprised As a witch you disregarded Mercury retrogrades energy & decided to travel to a third world country no less. You definitely should have used a travel agent. I'm so glad that you had a good trip anyway.
Now I wonder what it looked like 45 years ago! Our tour guide mentioned that 90% of the temples and remains are still underground and they are working to excavate it all up to the surface. I wonder if more was buried underground back then? Anyways, thank you so much! As I mentioned in the video, unfortunately this was the only time we could travel out of the country. It was either go to Belize now, or maybe not at all. We knew Mercury was in retrograde but that didn't stop us from having the trip of our lives! I usually don't let Mercury retrograde run my life, I just take extra precautions and understand that there will probably be delays and miscommunications. It's all good. ☺️ Also, we definitely didn't need a travel agency. Our trip was amazing! The only issue we had was with the rental car but that was my mistake. Out of all my international travels, I've never had a car rental that I wasn't allowed to drive across borders so that was on me - I just assumed it would be the same as everywhere else I've traveled. Nonetheless, it was a fantastic trip! ❤️
@@IvyTheOccultist I'm sorry I forgot to explain I was a travel agent & owner for 45 years. I was invited by the Guatemalan government & I went during Guatemala's civil war. That was interesting. You must go back to Guatemala.. you didn't even get to see Antigua, the lake or the mountains. Or make day trips to Copan Honduras.
Ivy would you be able to please add the link to the blog of Stonehenge? I would love to watch that one as well.
Oh, I went to Stonehenge way before I started a RUclips channel! 😂 I don't have a video for that trip. But I did link my Greece Vlog if you haven't seen that one. ❤️
@@IvyTheOccultist ha ha 😂 thank-you anyway! I have watched the Greece blog, I loved it! I am seriously contemplating going to Guatemala now, would love to know more about the travel info. Hotels, etc.. I admittedly know nothing about where to stay or what tour guide comp. To go with..
@@Heather1031 I think I might film a "culture shocks" video later this week because I learned soooo much about traveling in Belize and Guatemala. I'll try to throw in some travel tips too! ❤️❤️
@@IvyTheOccultist yes please! I know it's a lot to ask because you certainly have a life outside of vlogging BUT it would be so helpful to learn more, just saying 😉 thank you!!
@@Heather1031 I love sharing travel knowledge!!! Traveling is a passion of mine 🥰
At no point did you look a wreck. And if you did it wouldn't take away from your magnificence.
Aw thank you so much! ❤️
Amazing!....glad that you had a wonderful honeymoon and got to see what you have dreamed of seeing....thank you for sharing
Thank you!! ❤️
A cutlure shock video would be SUPER interesting to me!
I already decided I'm doing it!! 😂❤️
