I never tire of books, so your library was a treat for me. Keep all those plates in the air, Witch! I don't know how you do it, but keep your energy high as a kite.

I love your library, and the fact you've thrown in a few things that in their own writing aren't necessarily part of the occult is fascinating; I do that too. Ive decided to throw in some old ww2 era books ive found into my library. One is on inorganic chemistry, which, will definitely be helpful in an indepth guide to the elements and chemicals. And the other is on electricity and electrical circuits. I figured the understanding of literal energy in its scientific base, and how we use it for our every day lives will also be helpful. (Im also just a science nerd) As well as the fact i also have one of dr. Joe's books so far, which is becoming supernatural. Its fantastic, i plan to get the others soon! Again, awesome library and video!!

Thank you Ivy, wonderful tour of your books 👏🏻😊

This is a great video. My library has the same sections - occult, herbalism, homesteading, and science. Good luck on your homesteading journey! I’ve been doing the same for about the same length of time. It’s cool to find someone who’s into self sufficiency but is an occult nerd, too.

Love the dog and cat cameos at the end hahaha. Thanks for this! I appreciate your rational and scientific approach to magic - it's certainly been helpful with getting started. I've got a bunch of new books to add to my list now!

I am so glad that I found you. I have been binge watching your videos since seeing you on the Witch if Wonderlust channel. You have been such a pleasure to watch and learn from that so bad for my ThriftBooks cart!!!🤣🤣 I love your book recommendations.

Thanks for sharing your bookshelves with us with your collection of books. I seen a lot of them that I have in my collection and some that are on my wishlist. I myself use Scott Cunningham's books and they are great for a beginner starting out. You take what you want from the books and leave the rest. When I started out I thought of myself as all three: a pagan, a Wiccan and a Witch. I now only think of myself as a Pagan and a Witch. I have been on this path since 98' and there were years I didn't practice that much, life got too busy. I love herbal medicine, aromatherapy, growing veggies, herbs and flowers. To think when I was younger that I had issues keeping plants alive. I have gotten better and it is trial and error. Especially with getting to know your soil and getting the mixture right. I have been buying gardening books and taking a course on regeneration gardening, it is awesome. Need to be in a home that I don't have to worry about the landscrapers spraying my stuff even when I put up signs saying not to spray. Ugh.

Completely off topic but I freaking love the crow statue downstairs. Insane collection of incredible books! I wish someone would just read to me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I can’t tell u how much I am enjoying your videos. I am learning so much and the book recommendations are phenomenal, thanks so much xx

Awesome collection, lots of books I see are highly recommended too. Thanks for sharing your library with us.

Such a fantastic video! I added quite a few titles to my "to be read" list, and am especially excited for the possible astrology/planetary book review 👀

I adore the Green Man tree! That was honestly the first thing that I fixated on in that first shot. I am obsessed with your collection! I need to get my hands on some more books. I think Psychic Witch is going to be one of my next buys, just because I adore Mat's content on social media.

Thank you so much for this fantastically helpful video. Your home is so beautiful 😍 I’ve never felt drawn to Wicca either but love Scott Cunningham books & have been using them in my practice for at least 15 years

This was awesome💓Thanks Ivy!

I have watched this video twice in the past two days. I've added several books to my next book order and can't wait to check them out. I've even noticed a few that I already had since I came into this path via the scientific / spiritual side first. You might want to read the 'Biology of Belief' if you like Joe Dispenza. It's very interesting to see how belief truly changes us and is complementary to what Dispenza says. Gregg Braden is also interesting when it comes to the mix of science and faith but from the science side. Thank you again for sharing your library.

the longer videos are my absolute favorite

I love this video!! I am going to have to watch again and again and put on pause so I can see all of your books!!

Thanks for sharing your wonderful collection! Added a few more books to my wish list... of course! 😁 Love to Loki and kitty! 💜 xox

Wow, great collection. I have added so many to my wishlist 😅

I have that Reading The Leaves book and I love it too, my friend came over and we read our tea leaves together and had a lot of fun and the book gave us everything we needed to know!

Oh so ready to settle in and watch this!

Interested in “the you are the placebo book” Thanks for the video it’s so informative. Your videos are excellent. Thank you xx

As a beginner occultist I have been so overwhelmed trying to find information. There is so much out there nowadays it's hard to know where to start and who to listen to. There's hundreds of lists of best beginner books it seems, but your video has given me the most meaningful information. I'm so grateful I found your channel and I appreciate your knowledge and the way you explain it. Very relatable and digestible. So Thank you for doing you. 😁🙏

It was great to see your library! :)

The advantage of a house. in my study I have 2 small book cases about this size for the stuff i use most often, then in the cellar we have 'the library' which includes full sized book cases. bwhahahaha

I love the tree ornament! ☺Amazing collection. I love these videos sooooooo much. I have a few on my channel - the most recent one was a few months ago but it's definitely a bit out of date now. I love your shelves too - where are they all from? I struggle with bookshelves because they always seem to collapse beneath the weight of the books 😂 Thank you for sharing. So many blessings Ivy 🙏Xxxx

That was a lovely tour of your shelves. It's a great collection. I've seen some wonderful titles among your collection. And yay for poetry! I love love poetry. Side note, I thing fiction/poetry is actually pretty important in any magical practice. I found a lot of inspiration in fiction and poetry over the years. Either to give some inspiration for spell work, or just straight reading poetry to my deities, ect. I love to heard what poetry you enjoy and how some of your poets and what pieces from them you enjoy. I enjoy a lot of different poetry but the main bulk of my current poetry readings are weird poetry.

Good to see the secret by Rhonda Byrne, was my first taste down the road into practical magic 🎩, luv that movie as well, highly recommended 🔮🔮🔮🔮

I need to see the front cover inside of the books

I would love to see gardens and such sprinked into the video line up.

Omg! Your library collection is absolutely incredible! So many awesome sounding books! 💜 I'll definitely be expanding my reading list with a lot of these! Thank you for sharing! Always love your videos and the information you share! 🤩

Death Nesting sounds interesting to me since I was a Deputy Coroner for a combined 21 years.

Very nice collection of 📚😊😊

I’m a death doula, and I can’t wait to read that Death Nesting book. I’d actually had never heard of it! I got my certification through the School of American Thanatology.

You are like me! We both have a ton of books that we haven't read yet! We have some of the same ones!

Awesome video for my after work foot soak 🤗

Cool.

I have recently read Frater U∴D∴'s Living Magick. A very interesting & enjoyable book.

This was a great tour! Thank you for sharing. Apologies if this is a bothersome question but I just have to know.... where on earth did you get those shelves? The shorter ones that tilt the books so you can see them from standing. Those shelves are amazing!

A book you might be interested in reading is The Buried Soul: How humans invented death by Timothy Taylor

Controversial opinion: I internally question if anyone that claims to dislike Scott Cunningham because he was Wiccan has ever read one of his books throughly. I began my journey in the early 90s when the internet was still called the information superhighway, and connecting with other witches was difficult. He was one of the few authors that validated solitary practitioners at a time when the validity of a solitary practice was questioned by some of the other popular authors of the day. Obviously, I chose a more Pagan path over traditional Wicca, but Cunningham lit the way for me more than anyone else. Having read most of his books, I think the most exclusionary thing he ever wrote was Wicca in the Kitchen (which was called ‘The Magic in Food’ back then (get off my lawn lol)) because it doesn’t include anything about meat, other than that he wouldn’t be including meat. He was a vegetarian that held fast to his ideals, and I respect that. I still have a copy and I still refer to it. Love me some Cunningham!

I love looking at peoples book collection. If I visit someone’s home and they have book, I always check them out. You can learn so much about someone based on what’s in their bookshelf!

Hi Ivy. I only recently discovered you and so far, I'm enjoying your content. I've been a student of metaphysics for most of my life and I recognize many of the books on your shelf. Nice to see you have a copy of "Gifts Differing" by Isabelle Briggs-Myers with Peter B. Myers. I'm not a scientist by any stretch of the imagination, but I do appreciate it, and from my perspective it's more related to metaphysics than most scientists believe.

You've got Pamita's candle magic book.

YAA! Finally a library tour! DANG! You have A LOT of books! Lol. I love your witchy work space. I have one bookcase and I only have almost 2 full shelves being used, granted some books are all over the house. I have a little section on the top shelf where I place my most frequent books that I go to and they're seperated by a huge seashell. That correspondence book is in my wishlist. I love your greenman tree. I want that earthing book, I feel the same way that book belongs there. There's a book called blue mind that's sort of like the earthing book but it's the effect that water has on us, I haven't got the book yet. Animal Speak is on my list. I don't find a problem with repeating the books you think are the best in your collection plus you don't say them in every video so it's ok. Sigil Witchery is on my wishlist. I love Psychic Witch. The witches path, Iron Pentacle and the witches series, a broom at midnight are all on my wishlist. I'm not surprised that you're interested in becoming a Death Doula 😂😂🤣 I'm thinking of getting inner temple, could you do a video review? Eastern Body Western Mind is in my top 7 books to get for research for my book. 48 laws is on my wishlist. The Body keeps the score sounds good! I have the Subtle Body that's one of my resource books. Oh cool Rock hounding never tried it but I'm willing to try it. LOKI! Give him some love on my behalf and your cat too. I definitely enjoyed!

O.m.Goddess Ivey! What a spectacular collection!! Your house is so beautiful. Iam not even there and I can feel the zen energy. Just lovely. I will be seeking out some of the books you mentioned. I have always been the person in the family that went to be with a dying family member and help them cross over, so I am very much intrested in the death doula books. We are indeed kindred spirits. Thanks for the tour! The animals are sweet too.

My library is starting to look like this my books are all in plastic boxes unfortunately due to my living circumstances

Hello! I want to get the Planetary spells and rituals book but I've heard that there's a page mishap which is the first page of Saturn I believe and I wanted to see if you had any complications with your copy. Thank you!

idk if Christopher Penczak books are wiccan based as I haven't got to read them yet (I've been busy these years ok lmao ) but if I remember right he started as a follower of Cabot tradition that was founded by Laurie Cabot

Liked before it was 5 seconds in!!!

Thank you for bringing us into your home. ❤️ You have quite the collection! I'd be interested in seeing some of your fiction picks. 😉 I've read Moon Magic by Diane Ahlquist and plan to get Moon Spells by her as well. I love learning about the moon and her cycles and how those affect us. I'd love to go deeper into that topic and perhaps venture into planetary magic...someday! ❤️ I love working with crystals and have Maia Tolls illustrated Crystallary and Oracle cards...sadly, that's the only book I have on crystals. 🙁

This maybe a random question. Can you please tell me were you bought your shelves?

I'm drooling. Am I drooling? Yes I'm drooling. What a stunning space.

You should really look into Santa Muerte. She seems to be calling you. You won’t regret looking into her… she will change your life.

Also not wiccan but love Scott Cunningham. Of course society has changed in the 30 plus years since he wrote them but the correspondence is brilliant.

I think your book collection is great and also recognize many that I have myself and I personally think that you should write a book about your way of witchcraft it seems very interesting and instructive, so please think about it, a nice thick book and that will be a bestseller, love your video's🖤

Love to your fur-babies as well! ❤️🐈🐕

This such, a great book collection!! Alot more than what I have, but that's 👍 👌 okay. I still like my small collection. I myself don't understand the hate of Cunningham and Wicca. It's odd, really. I enjoyed your video. HELLO Loki and Cat.😀

I have nowhere near that many books! This is awesome! I'm gonna make it my goal to attain a huge occult library! 🤘🍎🐍

Why don’t you have any astral projection or Alchemy books?

Is there any recommendations after the kybalion because that's where i am at the moment

what do you recommend for animal spirit guides book written by a indigenous writer after finding out that ted Andrews isn't indigenous at all I've decide its not what I'm looking for and am trying to find something but haven't found anything yet any ideas ?

What’s the use of quantum physics in magic ?

I've got a question. What does it mean that you're 'an occultist'? Do you practice occultism? What does that look like? Or, is it all mere aesthetics?

Love ur collection and the green man tree. I have sensory issues so will never be outside barefoot lol I couldn’t stand psychic witch cuz it was all about visualization and I can’t visualize so I gifted it to someone else

I don't think of Carl Jung as a psychologist who dabbled in the occult. I think of him as an occultist who did psychology as a day job.

💜📚✨

Well, there goes my paycheck. =P

Ivy, please donate all of your books when you decide to 😉😃

I love looking at other's books. Great video. On a personal note, I'm not a big fan of Llewellyn. Some of their books are important, but most are just "wiccan fluff." And the reason why many don't care for the Kybalion is that it's a fairly new book and isn't actually Hermeticism. There's ideas in it that are just new age or new thought.

Your missing you Kenneth Grant. Lol

I actually am a death doula and death educator if you have any questions.

I was surprised there was no Crowley.

Beginner tarot card reader here I don't do beginners books there is not enough information for me I through the holistic tarot book straight up beginners books do nothing for me because my IQ Level goes beyond beginners books never have read beginners books beginners books are for the not so bright minded people

Do you know any occult or witchcraft books that are inclusive of trans women? So much of what I've seen is all about cis women 😕

You say occult library where's all the Crowley books that's the real books

Its not the quantity of books that matter, its their content. I get rid of rubbish books, and there are loads of rubbish out there. Be selective look for decent content.

Llewellyn's complete correspondence book is probably one of the only books I have read they you have read but it's on my Kindle account I didn't have it in physical form
