I came across witchcraft when I was looking for alternative methods to fight my depression. It has help. I feel very empowered.

I want to begin, but man, overcoming inherent shame and guilt from a religious upbringing is hard 😅

When I was a beginner witch in the 90's - not knowing any better - I did damn near everything Hearth here says *not* to do, and from my experience I can say with certainty how right she is. I made a lot of mistakes and conjured things I couldnt control and didnt know how to banish. I ended up hurting myself and others and caused a lot of trauma and made my life incredibly difficult for a long time as a result of my ignorance. As Hearth says, yes magic can be lovely and beautiful, but it can also be incredibly dangerous if you dont know what you're doing.

Hearth: Meditate. *Me, trying to meditate for the 20th time* My ADHD brain: haha *no.*

Baby Witch here still in the early months of research and meditation would love a video on Good books for beginners Also love your videos

Hearth: Magic isn’t like what’s shown on TV, you can’t fly or point your finger at a pen and turn it into a broom. Me: Oh crap, how am I supposed to turn my haters into frogs now?

To any beginner witches; find a way to focus that works best for you, it will be the foundation of all your work and how you align the energy in and around you. The natural state of energy is neutral. It's not "good" or "bad." I know you will hear A LOT about light and positive energy and may even be obsessed with "cleansing." It IS possible to cleans the things you need from something as well. The Abrahamic religions have brainwashed the majority of the population into thinking in polar opposites instead of letting something or someone just be and exist. There must always be a balance. There is NO shame in who or what we are. We could never do anything wrong enough to deserve an eternity of suffering and damnation.

I was told a good rule of thumb is to study for a year before you actually try to cast spells. I also recomend tai chi or qi gong. It helps with visualization, and meditation. Love your video's my witchy friend.

A lot of great, realistic tips, Hearth! I’d also like to say to beginner witches: think about why you want to be a witch. If you’ve felt the call toward something “bigger” or “different” than what you were taught or know, or if you’ve experienced things you can’t explain, or if you’re just looking for something spiritually, then definitely look into it. The more passion you have for this lifestyle, the easier it will be to stay with it. Also, as a point, don’t let what others say influence you lol Do what makes you happy, for sure, and makes you feel fulfilled.

I'm an old fart just starting down this path. I am subscribed to a few channels, but yours is way more informative, witchy and you stay ON POINT! Love your videos!! I've learned so much. And I can tell you know your chit. ;)

Hearth: “When our minds are crazy with thoughts it can be hard to focus on what we want.” Me, with ADHD: 😳 (Though I do love my meditation time. It can just be hard to get into for someone like me. But when I can 👌👌)

Ive noticed in spell books, common herbal allergies are not mentioned. So if you are a beginner, using herbs without researching you can cause serious bodily harm outside of your spirit. This is not brought up enough.

Girl, how do you not have more subs??? You have so much knowledge, are so inclusive and are one of the most articulate and well spoken KZfaqrs I’ve come across 😨 Love the information and content you put out, and It’s quite refreshing to see and hear from a witch who practices the craft traditionally and doesn’t rely on the instagram-ability and aesthetics of their craft, although there’s nothing wrong with that ☺️ As a non-Wiccan witch, it’s hard to sift through the sea of Wiccan content to find other practitioners of the craft. Thanks for doing what you do! ✨

It's a lifestyle, and allows tons of self work, and meditative skills, you use witch craft as an aid in your spirituality in your life. It's an added skill and feature to add to your already established spiritual beliefs and rituals. If you are spiritual that is, not every witch combine their witchyness with their religion.

I got loads of crystals (mostly because I’ve always been attracted to them, even before I knew about witchcraft) but now I’m learning how to use them. I’m glad I came across this video now otherwise I would’ve brought those tarot cards 😂♉️

I've been practicing for more than 15 years now and I wish I had known about this things back when I started. I can completely agree with all your tips. Great video!

The one dislike was from someone that wants to win the lottery XD

I came to witchcraft because I was trying to fix my mental health. I helped me, but not fully. But I’m much happier than I have ever been before

Local libraries are a great resource. Plus many if them can borrow from other libraries in your area. It's incredible to borrow a before you buy too!

Sigils are a really good spell to start. Thats what I did.

Oh man. When I first started, I made that mistake of buying all the stuff listed in the books or what people said that I needed. I wasted so much money. When I was new this path, it would have been great to have this video, but that was before KZfaq. I enjoy watching your videos. So much great information. :)

Thank you this video was very informative. I’m a beginner witch myself and it is really tricky. My parents and me are Christians but I’m also a witch but it’s a secret

As a beginner witch with a low budget. Only things I've bought are Crystal's and stones and tarot cards and a kitchen witch book. I use them frequently. I am learning to be a kitchen/cottage witch myself(that's my focus)

Me: *daydreaming Hearth: “...love potion” Me: LoVE pOtIoN?!!!

I love candle magick also...great video dear one. As always you hit it on the nail. Great personality.

Other tips for beginner witches that I feel like need to be mentioned that weren’t mentioned, that I wish someone told me: 1. Deities and other spirits are like the wands in Harry Potter. They choose you, not the other way around. I see them and hear them, as well as unconsciously channel their shit. It’s not always pleasant. Do not get discouraged if an entity doesn’t respond to you. If they want to talk to you and work with you, they will let you know. Sometimes they will indirectly communicate with you through obvious signs or even animals. It depends on what they feel like will be best for you to understand them. 2. LISTEN TO YOUR SPIRIT GUIDES AND INTUITION! How do you know if something worked? Go with your intuition. Got a magic-related question? Ask your guides and cross reference the info you’re given. I trust my guides 100%. This is not a substitute for research, but the more you do this, the more accurate the information you’re given because this will help build your relationship with your spirit guides. 3. DO NOT try to invoke the power of any spirit, deity, or otherwise if you do not have their explicit permission. They will be very pissed because it’s considered disrespectful, and it could have very negative consequences. 4. Use your intuition and listen to your spirit guides when choose anything, from magic books to items you will use in your craft. This is especially important with tarot cards and items that are specific to witchcraft. 5. DO NOT accept gifts from the fae. Period. If they directly give you something, politely decline. They’re not human, so human customs don’t apply to them. They see it as a contract and will fuck your shit up if you don’t put up your end of the contract. The lower-level small fae are easily offended, so expect backlash, but you’re not required to appease their sensitivities. They don’t give a shit how long you’ve been working with them and if something went missing and they bring it back to you, it’s probably because they took it in the first place 😒 I work with dryads and have regular communication with other nymphs, as well as have a dryad spirit guide and have too much unwanted experience with the fae. Please don’t accept gifts from the fae. 6. Know who you’re communicating with. You might think you’re talking to a spirit, deity, or even fae. You might not be. Some spirits and deities like to mess with humans. If you can see or hear them, it’s easier, but otherwise, use your intuition. Your spirit guides will tell you, “That’s not ___” and can block the connection to protect you. 7. If you’re confused as to what to research first, LEARN DEFENSIVE AND PROTECTIVE MAGIC. Defend yourself against threats and unwanted energies from all entities and other witches. Trust me, respectable entities like humans with knowledge and a backbone. They will respect you for it, thus, improving your relationship with them.... which leads me to my next tip. 8. Perhaps this is my experience, but spiritual beings are also people with feelings and emotions. They say don’t humanize them, but acknowledging they have emotions and aren’t these inherently cruel beings can make them happy, depending on who it is. Have open communication with the people you work with and if someone is angry at you and you don’t know why, it’s best to just ask them straight up. Clear up any misunderstandings (they’ll know if you’re lying). I’ve been able to solve conflicts with beings I’ve had issues with simply by communicating with them and clearing up any misconceptions. Sometimes talking is all you need to do. 9. Leave offerings for the ones you work with. They’ll be very happy because it’s a sign of respect. Dedicate candles to them if you want. They’ll be very happy and appreciative of it, and they’ll respect you (esp important for deity work). I work with Freya, as well as other deities, and my relationships with them have improved since doing this. With fae, though, be cautious, as the very nature of lower-level fae can be greedy and dangerous. 10. Do NOT call the beings you work with (esp deities) by nicknames unless you have their explicit permission. You wouldn’t do it to other people, would you? It’s disrespectful and crosses boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed. If you don’t want it done to you, don’t do it to them. Most of them will forgive it the first time and correct you (from my experience, anyway). Some don’t care, and don’t even acknowledge it. Others will be silent but obviously furious. It depends on their personality. If you offend them unintentionally by doing that, apologize and correct that behavior. They’ll usually forgive you if you do that. 11. DO NOT let spiritual beings (esp deities) live with you. When I say this, I mean they linger in your house for prolonged periods of time when you’re not doing magic or asking them for advice or anything of that sort. They have their own realms and need to go when you want to send them away. Since we’re still human, the time we spend with them should be used wisely. Otherwise, it WILL drain your energy and you will be tired all the time. I learned this the hard way. You can send them away. It’s YOUR space. You have a say as to who can and can’t come in. 12. Cast a protective circle around your space when doing anything, from tarot readings, to spells. This will prevent any unwanted energies. You have a say as to who can and can’t enter the circle. 13. Don’t worry about what gifts or abilities you have. I’m a medium, as well as other things, and trying to fight against that takes a lot of my energy. Work with your gifts and abilities and discover them naturally. 14. If someone wants to work with you, you have the right to say no if you don’t feel right about them. You have the right to ask questions, such as what they will bring to the table, as well as experience they have with other witches. I’ve had deities that serve the same function as others that have come to me, so I firmly but politely declined (some of them still come around to assist with spells, though, and of their own accord). You’re not wrong or disrespectful for doing so. 15. This correlates with 14. I don’t give a shit if it’s a deity😒, angel 😒😒, demon😒😒😒, fae😒😒😒😒, or otherwise. If it’s someone you feel is attacking your energy and they have malicious intent, you don’t have to be polite. Say no AND MEAN IT. Listen to your spirit guides, as competent ones will tell you if they’re to be trusted or not if you’re unsure. They can also protect you from as much as they can if they feel like you’ll be in danger from communicating with harmful entities, or at least stand up for you if it’s a more powerful being. 16. You can use ANYTHING as part of your craft. If you are using it, make sure to cleanse it thoroughly, consecrate it, and make your intention clear for that item. Thank the item when you’re done with it. Research cleansing and consecration before doing this. I might have missed more but I feel like those are very important tips that a lot of witches leave out in their videos. Please let me know if you have any more you’d like to add on.

I think one of if not the most important thing is: Do what brings you peace, joy, and fulfillment. There a lot of information on what to do, where to look, who to listen to out there. It can be overwhelming at times. And when things like self-doubt and procrastination kick in, one might feel lost. I find asking myself "WHY am I doing this? Does it make me happy or still make me happy?" helps me pace myself, listen to my heart, and stay centered :)

Hearth: Dont buy anything Me: *looks at Amazon orders of books herbs crystals cards and greenhousery* Me: ...well shit

After a year I’m finally picking myself up after a breakup and I’m so happy I found witchcraft. I feel like I’m a late starter being in my mid twenties but I feel so empowered and generally better in myself

I just realised that I practiced feeling energies and things like that for such a long time without knowing. Mabey it's because I'm very sensitive when it comes to feeling others emotions, which is not always as cool aus it sounds, because I tend to be affected by them very easily. I also always collected nature things as a kid like spacific stones, sticks and seashells. Yesterday I went out collecting stones to make my own runestones and suprisingly I was still drawn to the same kind of stone. Also I know that my grandfather used to do magic because I got handed down his spiritdice (didn't know what it was back then). My mum also used to practice magic but for some reason stopped and threw out all magical things in our house. Includeing the dice. So I'm basicly a broomcoleseted witch in a family of witches.😑

I was the kid making potions and writing wishes. In highschool I was so interested but very nervous to dive in since I come from a Christian home. About 5 years ago give or take I started reading books I made a mini alter and it just never felt right. I didn’t feel like a proper Christian anymore but I also didn’t feel like a Wiccan. I felt more connected into the nature, the earth, the energy in the air around me. I fell out of it until recently and I have no clue how I found these videos but knowing I can be a witch and not into Wicca has like opened my eyes. I don’t know which path I’m going to take but I finally feel like I found the thing I have been looking for my whole life. Now a couple years shy of 30 I’m officially a baby witch just trying to learn. Thank you !!

Me: *does a wish spell to get a living wage instead of minimum wage at my job* Universe: Here's a virus that will highly impact your tourism job! :)

The first time I did magic-- and Effected real change in reality; visually, psychologically, with unintended confirmation the next day. Very clear results. I used nothing but my concentration, while incorporating and amalgamating what I'd learned; and what I knew intrinsically. I'd had magic (good & bad) done to me before-- but this was the first time I attempted magic (out of desperation), and it was definitely successful. Hearth Witch does a good job x

Your hair is magical 🤩🌸

It's so cool seeing your subscribers count shooting up all the time ☺

I'm a mature beginner and found these tips amazing, a lot of things I didn't realise, I have lots of crystals and tarot cards, have done for a long time now, ive always been interested in this subject just never came to a head till now! :) Im still a bit confused as to wether you choose Wicca or Pagan, think I need to look up the differences ....tfs...new subscriber ♥

I tried for so long to box myself in as “cosmic witch” because I see auras and I felt like my practice was disconnected and disjointed. I finally stopped pushing it and let myself research and explore and found through practicing in a way that brought me joy that I’m actually a kitchen witch! Just like you said, one day I looked up and realized I was always practicing in my kitchen and that was where I felt safe and my magic was changing my relationship with food and I was like oooohhh 🤣❤️

The fact that anyone downvotes her videos is just wild to me.. Hearth is amazing!

Nice video ! If i would include my own tips to yours, it would be to overcome the doghma around duality. It is not about good versus evil, but rather is more like how polarity on a magnet worth. The way i came to understand it, is as follow; nothing can exist without an opposite, see that in plants, they use both sun from above and water from below to sustain them. For a set temperature to be felt, there need to exist both hot and cold. For animals to reproduces, there need to be both male and female ( one of the reasons i found out why male are seen as positive and female as negative, well, look at the genitals, at first sight, one is an addition, the other is a substraction ). You can do something perceived as very evil for someone, but would actually be good for someone else. What churchianity has truly done with duality, is believing so much in goodness, they became so selfrighteous, that they subsequently starting trusting evil....

I have been a witch for 20 years now and I still find it very useful to go and listen to the advice of other witches. Even if it is beginner advice... in fact especially if it is for beginners because it brings me back to the basics and helps me remember to be realistic about my own practice and go back to the basics to get in touch with those basics and often with myself. I am really enjoying your videos specifically though. Thank you.

I love the way you explain things. I've struggled to find ways to explain some of this to my 7-year-old and, while I realize that's not your demographic, you explain it in a way he can understand. It's easier to explain it to my husband whose also Pagan but doesn't practice witchcraft. Our son wants to be a Pagan and practice witchcraft.

Thank you....great tips!! Witch of wanderlust recommended you! Any titles of books on audible you could reccomend??? Subscribed too!🤗

Don't summon anything before learning banishment seems obvious, but it's still good to hear someone saying it

cannot agree more with “you might not know where in your practice you are in a year, or two years” because i definitely didn’t so i’ve been a witch for two years now, and if i reflect on what i thought back then, i’d have to agree with you If someone had told me two years ago that I will be most interested in shadow work, tarot, astral projection, I would’ve told the person that they’re funny, but wrong. I just wanna sit my past self down and have a nice little time for bonding.

Until now I thought Wicca and witchcraft was the same. I’m just beginning and your videos have been great. Thank you

Your litterally my favorite witchy KZfaq page I've binge watched your videos the past few weeks I love them 😁

Omg I love your videos ! You're very knowledgeable . I too prefer candle magick .. You should teach a KZfaq class or something! Thank you for your videos

All amazing tips Hearth! so good to be reminded of all of it as well. I feel that the simplest of practices such as visualisation and grounding are so important and actually such potent exercises to work on. I think it helps with mental health so much as well as confidence and self-love and being able to stand in your power. I would just say if anyone is reading the comments to not be discouraged by anyone who tells you that you're 'not a witch' or 'it's silly' or 'sinful' or that 'you're not doing it right' because you forge your own path and anyone who tries to tell you any of those things, it's simply a reflection of where they are on their path and their shadows - whether they be spiritual or not - and allow it and let it wash over you but just know that doesn't have to be the truth for you! You make your own craft! Much love to all 💖 Xxx

It’s funny and awesome that I am now in this witchy journey. I bought myself a bunch of crystals for birthday, not for any other reason than I love looking at them. I collected them as a kid and loved looking for cool rocks and stones. Then all of a sudden I started coming across lots of witch related content and it was like the universe telling me you need to explore this. I’ve always been interested since I was kid, but I always steered away cause in the 90s I only knew about Wicca and wasn’t interested in a religion. I am now in my 30s discovering that’s not the only way and all the “pretend” magic and spells I made up as a kid was just witchcraft calling me and I’m finally listening. I love you’re videos. They are extremely helpful and educational. 🖤🖤🖤

Thank you young woman for speaking so plain and teaching so well.

I am so happy that I found your channel and this video. It means a lot that you take your time to educate and spread your love for magick.

Watched your video for the second time to take notes!😀 Thank you for being so thorough! You rock Hearth!

I’m older and just finding witchcraft, but have been of a metaphysical bent for many years. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Your videos are so helpful.

Thank you Hearth for this brilliant video. It is going to be such a valuable resource for so many. I have the greatest respect for you & your channel. You are a blessing to us all

I've started with learning tarot and using this as a springboard to learn about other aspects of witchcraft and paganism. Some of the advanced books on tarot show how to incorporate tarot into magic rituals

What kind of meditations would you recommend for like ritual, getting into the magickal mindset, or for a beginner witch ?

I would like to say, I really appreciate the information you give out, and it has helped alot. I myself have officially been practicing for one year, and honestly every one around me made fun that they knew I was a witch before I did. Anyways because of that, many of the things I have been doing all my life was technically witchcraft, and I just was in denial/oblivious. So coming in I thought I had to learn a bunch of stuff, and come to realize... I already did/knew it. I just had a better understanding. So I went in more nervous with the title that the actual practice. Though I did have to get over my catholic guilt to come to terms that this is my thing and it makes me happy, and the people I open up to noticed that as well. I completely agree with doing the research and cross refrencing. There was a lot of stuff I found over the years that either blended or contradicted. But in time I also found a method that seems to work for me, and not necessarily for others. For example for any new witches who want to see how varied and different things can get that you won't find in books, I tend to work alot with music (I will literally listen to sooo many genres that it allows me to pick a particular song for my current working. And for some reason listening to Cirque du Soleil's music really helps me for making things happen.), and drawings for my workings along side with candle workings, with ALOT of visualization and it has worked significantly well for me. I have technically been doing like that since I was young, but now I can actually focus on what I want rather it just happen at random points. It's usually small things, but when I wanted to get out of my job that was making me miserable, I applied, and did my working... I legit thought I didn't get the job but the position was delayed by a month from the original start date and they called back and asked if I was still interested since everyone else who applied moved on due to the delay. Got the job and was able to move forward. So ya, find what works for ya, and have fun with it.

You are the most realistic and educational witch youtuber I have come across to date! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and experience!

I did a candle spell to send my girlfriend dreams about me to, "inspire desire," and the next day she said that not only did she dream about me, while she usually remembers her dreams vividly, she ONLY remembered the part of the dream about me. Tonight I tried adding, "passionate dreams," so qe'll see how that goes. I've also set up psychic/spiritual walls for my bedroom by closing my eyes and visualizing laying blue bricks down in front of my door and my window. Since then I've been sleeping better.

I am a beginner witch and Im so excited to get better at my practice. I am working on getting a deeper connection with fire. This is where im starting. I hope to learn a lot more soon!!

Do you have any specific recommendations for audio books to listen to? A little less "beginner", more beginning- intermediate because I'm finding a lot of the same info which isn't overly inspiring.

what a wonderful video! i love this and thank u so much! i'm an absolute beginner and this is one of the ONLY videos that has clarified things for me and helped guide me with where to begin

Also, for herbology (as in you consume the herbs in some way, inhalation, drinking, eating, etc.) be ABSOLUTELY sure you know the medicinal effects of the herb before mixing. Some plants don't work well together, and most have potential to have adverse effects, such as muscle twitches or intestinal discomfort.

I identify as a "I don't know what I'm really doing, but I'm taking it one step at a time" witch

This is the most useful video on the topic I've watched by far

Great video. :) I want to add, in reference to the part where you said some people have more natural ability than others: Also remember not to get discouraged when others seem to have an easier time (and/or don't get cocky if you're the one with a natural inclination.) It's important to keep in mind that no one has *everything* come easy to them. Most people will have an easier time with certain aspects than with other. A personal example: Energy sensing and sending are things I was doing long before I even knew what magic was. That's my one easy thing. However, things like meditation and dream work are very difficult for me. I've been working at those for a long time, and feel that I've made barely any progress. Every person's path and strengths are different, and that's ok.

Yesss 25k subscribers!!!💜

I’m at the point where I really want to become more serious about my witchy side instead of just entertaining it on the side.. yours is one of my top channels I visit. I love you, be safe and happy in our world

When you said power doesn’t come from tools all I could think about is Odin saying “are you Thor, god of hammers?”

So much talk about books and knowledge. Can you mention some books that is GOOD, according to you, for beginning witchcraft? Thank you for the video 🧙‍♂️

The last tip is reallyyy helpful advice to all the mainstream LOA practitioners out there these days. The Secret really got us believing the universe will just give us everything we want without effort or limits.

#14 is so relatable for me. I'd always felt a connection to the craft and started exploring through books when I was about 11/12. Unfortunately, the only person I knew in real life to look to for guidance was not critical of the texts she was reading and recommending to me and wasn't using witchcraft as a tool, but as a get-rich-quick gimmick. All the texts she gave me were written from the perspective of a Wiccan, just as you say. As a result I thought Wicca = witchcraft, and when I had no connection to the teachings of Wicca I thought that meant that the connection I was feeling to the craft wasn't real either. It's only now - 15 years later - that I am exploring again and starting to understand why a huge spiritual part of my life was missing! I've been looking into hearth and green witchcraft for just about two months and already I am feeling so much more validated and empowered in my own connection to the world around me. Thanks so much for putting such effort and thought into your videos because they are definitely one of the reasons I started being curious again!

one of the best beginner videos i've seen! explains a lot of concepts that inhibit you as a beginner

I think Practical Magic is a pretty good example of real witchcraft. The magic there isn’t showy (besides the jumping off the roof, but even that is pretty real-ish in the sense that it can be dismissed in one way or another.)

I started writing my own spells from the beginning of my spellwork, I waited til I have enough skills and knowledge before doing Spellwork and I've got good results. I'm soon to learn rune divination and Tarot cards

Thank you! This is one of the best videos for people starting out I've seen on KZfaq. As a long term practitioner, it is lovely to see a younger person so direct and on point about the practice. Excellent work. Many blessings to you.

Hearth: Know the meaning of your ingredients Me: *is writing down the ingredients for Florida water* I'm going to look up the meanings now

This has been my favorite video thus far! I am new to practicing and this was really refreshing and a true eye opener! Thank you for making these videos , Hearth Witch, and Blessed Be!

What a fantastic introduction to witchcraft for beginners, which I am. Your tips are tremendously helpful and have clarified a lot for me as well as helping me figure out how to begin my journey. Thank you so much!

I remember buying a spell book when i was like 14 and being so excited to do all the spells, but not having money to buy any of the ingredients or props so i never pursued it, wish i had found the witch internet back then instead of getting back into it now,

I consider a solitary witch myself. . And thanks a bunch for your videos once more time. I love to work with tarot cards and others oracles too.

Finally someone that uses 'secular' properly. So many people confuse secular with nonsecular and it drives me crazy. I appreciate how much you educate yourself.

ure my new fav vlogger i love ur vids

I love you hearth! Sooo helpful to my spiritual journey I’ve sent your videos to some of my friends who also are interested and they say they love it too I’m so grateful for your videos

Hearth, I really enjoy your videos. You are very knowledgeable, non judgmental. Also I love when you say “ you do you.” I’ve been a witch for a long time just started doing more with it the last several months.

ahh, thank you for acknowledging that some of us can't visualize. I am Working Around it, but most of the advice I get is so flippant like 'oh just learn to visualize' and I am like 'but my brain does not function in this manner' so it's nice to be acknowledged

For beginners to meditation, I recommend chants and celtic music. Lyrics and guides (in your language) can be more distracting for manifestation and healing for some.

My recommendation for tools is to craft your own, as opposed to buying them. A stick and some knitting supplies is just as effective as something with HP branding

Love the honesty and awesome information.

My roommate got me a tarot card set very early while I was still learning. I didn't use them until I learned more first. It's been super helpful

I'm a year and a bit into my practice and I 100% agree with all these tips. Thank you so much for putting all this together!

Thank you for making this video! I am just beginning to research and I'm pulling from a lot of sources but your channel is one of my favorites :) very easy to follow and useful!!

When i first saw witchcraft i was taught to think they were terrible monsters. when i did my research i figured out on my own it wasn't all that it was really interesting, next thing i know im working on trying my first spell. Im struggling to start because im from a highly religious family, and my mom is very stern about no witchcraft, but i obviously still do it. im really hoping to be able to become a true witch!!

You have such great integrity in your presentations.. I love your views, I will watch all of the HearthWitch vids that I can. I am an older man and cannot seat myself into todays religions most followed or known but my energies have never been sent out, I'm here to learn because I was born on yule. I think its my comfort zone to practice witchcraft.. I know its not evil, or it wouldn't attract me. Hugs to you.. Please continue your video's. I have acquired an attraction to your vids :) Your very thorough and a great speaker that gets the deeper points across. 5 star.

Thank you so much for this video so far so good. My three times grandfather was a Shaman my two times grandfather was a Santero my great aunts were Priestess my motha was an herbalist ( Caribbean Witches ) but she decided to turn to Christianity Pentecostal to be exact so now even talking about her background is taboo. I"ve always felt it but I never practiced so it's baby steps for me so i really appreciate all the feedback.

I've been a witch for 5 or 6 years now but I've never really fully commited, it's kinda been a bit like waves, now i'm 16, almost 17, and I finally feel like I can commit to it fully :)

your presentation is so damn good... you can easily be a professor of magic at any university 😂😂😂

What I did first thing was go join an online group of witches and magical practitioners. I asked around, figured out what I wanted to worship and what I didn’t want to worship, got help setting up an altar, etc. Once I had started a book of shadows and tried out a few rituals, I joined an online coven (Hearth’s, actually). They have provided the support for me to keep going in magic over the last year. I found a few girls who were also new to witchcraft who lived near me, and we occasionally join together and do small rituals.

This is the best list of tips I've heard so far. Thank you.

Great tips. Your comments on the witch type identities are on point.
