me: taking notes in a google doc you: book of shadows me: so we're calling that the google doc of shadows i guess

I used to make “potions” by mixing leaves and dirt and sticks when I was little and I used to call myself a witch when I was little so I really want to get into witchcraft :)

I'm a baby witch myself, and my mom is a witch and she made a book of shadows and right now I'm having fun studying from it!she has been helping me on my journey. Most of the time I draw in my own book of shadows when I'm inspired that relates to this. Good luck to all those beginner witches and your not alone. Before I go make sure you do some research!!!💗🤗💓💖

You have the most peaceful aura I think I've seen on all of KZfaq.

I really like how modest, approachable and kind you are! The vibes you give off are really beautiful!

Practical tip: Do not add salt to candles.

remember misty day from american horror story? this is her now

I am a beginner witch because I have always made potions whitout even knowing that it was witchcraft. I used to get a four leafed kleever, and waited until it dryed out, then I made it into a kind of powder. And mixed it with water and said some stuff (i guess a spell??) And I would give it to my brother for good luck. And yesterday I discovered witches! And I feel that this is the thing I am created to do.

Some great advice and advice I have often shared myself. I'd been on my path almost two years before I actually cast a spell. I'd been a witch a long time before I realised I was actually a green witch. Up to that point just called myself a witch. Nothing more. I didn't want tonlanle myself as anything in particular. I don't have a book of Shadows. I have notebooks. And I have them in physical notebooks. And on my phone and tablet. And you NEVER stop learning. Not matter how long you have walked the path 😊 I also say to people is this. It's not a race. You do not have to get from A to B in the quicker time ever. Nor is it a competition. This is your path and yours only. Youbare nither better or not as good as another witch. You shouldn't walk in the footprints of another either. Create your own footprints.

my literal first thing i did (yesterday, started my witchcraft thing yesterday) was get an old notebook, rip all the used pages out, and start writing random stuff i was watching. i called it "notes about witchcraft" but now that i know what a book of shadows is i renamed it lol.

Based off of tip 3, i decided to go ahead and share some small things i do everyday for my practice. 1. I have an altar on my desk i light every morning, weather it be with a cup of tea before breakfast, or after. And what i do is I keep a notebook on my altar I use once it is lit. I take a page out, write the date, and use a widgit on my phone that tells me my horoscope, lucky number, and color for the day, and write that down at the top. After that is done, I write down ideas I had for the day, and throughout the day cross them out. Since I struggle with many task, and quickly get overwhelmed with thoughts and projects, it is hard for me to focus and remember everything I want to do, this really helps. It also gives me something to look forward to everyday and has me staying out of bed. Once I am done writing all my ideas for the day, I draw my sigil either on the side of the paper, or in a corner of it before hanging it on the side of my calendar, which i made sure was placed right above my altar. Once that is all done, I use a small jar to put out the candles (do not blow them out, it will blow away your intentions) and start off with my day. If i am stuck and am having a bad day, i will usually go through a playlist I have of witch videos I save for this moment, and take notes while watching. Another small detail I like to do, when making tea, i use honey as a natural sweetener, and at the bottom of my cup i will draw out my sigil in the honey before pouring the water. I hope this helped! someone

I love these videos! I am raised as a Christian, but just don't feel complete. I've always been so intrigued by witches and the paranormal. I am just worried about what my family and my husband's family will think of me. I feel like I have to hide my true self from them, and it's exhausting! I also have 2 young children under 5 and worry about their safety if I start my journey and mess up somehow. I'm just ready to become my true self and be happy

I have not studied witchcraft, but in all my 22 years of life I keep getting drawn to nature. And here recently I've run across a green witch or a nature witch and I feel like it's a sign to start practicing this and if feels right🙏🏼💚

After watching a few of your videos I talked to my eldest sister, who I trust more than anyone else in my family, about wicca and witchcraft! turns out that when she was around my age she also got deeply into the craft, and we were able to talk about books, learning and points of interest. She gave me her old pentagram pendant decorated with a beautifully reflective purple gemstone, which I’ve secured into a proper necklace with some red rope. I’ve been wearing it for a long time now, and I’ll be getting some books to study further soon. Thank you for inspiring me! :)

hiya, i’m an ecclectic witch and i just wanted to say i hope you all have a good day

when she was walking through the snow it felt like a Disney movie and I love it.

This last year has been really hard for me and around christmas I felt like I was missing something in my life. My sister bought me some tarot cards and I started watching your videos after stumbling on them. They are so comforting and I'm starting my journey into witchcraft, nature has always bought me peace and this just seems to fit right in my heart. Thank you for these videos! Side note, your are absolutely gorgeous and I love your headpiece 🥰

I am a Christian witch...I harm none, and honor Jesus Christ in my practice. Love ur channel....

I’ve been into anything Wicca for years now. I’m 41 and I first bought a tarot card pack when I was 16-17 I believe. I still have them but after this video I finally understand how to study the cards ... I feel stupid lol I’ve made many book of shadows , I have no idea what kind of witch I am but I sure know that I’ve always been drawn to it since I was a young child. I do have intuition, I can predict a few things , my mom was the same but after so many medications and operations , she lost her skill. I’ve been searching myself for years and with this virus making us stay home , I find myself discovering myself on another level. This video is amazing Thank you

I’ve been at this almost a year now. There is a lot to learn. I have read around 10 books and have been focusing on divination, spell and ritual design, and spirit work. I am very excited about all there is still to know. Thanks for the video.

your videos are so calming, informative and beautiful. when i first seen your channel i thought " these will be good for my 20 year old daughter " but after watching i also enjoy and learn from them, so you can teach an old witch new tricks lol. keep up the amazing work little sister

I’ve lost a lot of myself this year for some reason. During the end of last year I was very interested in learning witchcraft, divination, and I was even considering Odinism. But, so many things have happened that I’ve become so hollow and I lost my motivation to do anything or to learn anything. Even though I have a good understanding of how to start my journey already, watching this video today gave me motivation to continue it. Thank you for these lovely visuals! ✌️

i’m just starting my witchcraft journey and you’ve really helped me. my parents are christian and i thought i was too but then did research and i think i’m an eclectic witch. thank you so much for helping me. blessed be

Ever since I became a witch, I have felt complete. I already know so much about witchcraft, I just love seeing other people perspectives! Good luck to all on their journey! 💜

Your editing and filming style is enchanting. I don’t think I’ve ever used that word seriously before. But enchanting, yeah, that’s the word. I loved this. I loved everything. Thank you

This is honestly the most helpful vid for “witch 101” out here. Concise, informative, and focused. A lot of videos are so slow to the actual points. Thanks!

I know this will sound cheesy. But I'm crying. Happy tears. Tears of manifestation and inspiration. Your energy and your whole vibe throughout this whole video, has moved me. It's helped guide me in a way I've been missing and needing. The missing piece. I've always been drawn to nature and witchcraft. I just started my craft this year and I'm so lost. Lost in how to create or start my BOS. Or even how to start my path. What books to get, etc. I consider myself artistic and creative but have a hard time trusting my process and allowing myself to create. I feel I'm no good at it. This also holds me back in my craft. I feel intimated in that I am not doing things "the right way" or that I'm just wrong in thinking this is my path. It's always been something I've been interested in and drawn to... But I'm also intimated a little by it all. I dream of feeling like I can fit in a witchy coven of girls that finally accept me. But that'll probably never happen. I'm the black sheep. But when it comes to anything I believe in, I don't feel I can do it. This is all issues I have with my lack of self confidence. But i just wanted to say that you've helped me a lot. And I love your BOS. Total inspiration. I want mine to be beautiful and raw and full of nature like yours.

I really enjoyed and appreciate you taking the time to explain the way that you did. I’ve picked up a tarot deck, pendulum and dousing rods. The tarot overwhelms me and by picking one a day and studying it makes it more manageable for me. I’m brand new, 2nd year “investigating”, learning and this video helps so much 🙏

Thank you so much! I feel like the weight on my shoulders has significantly decreased. I want to begin my path and I'm *very* confused on where to start, but I feel like your video shed some light. I'll definitely follow this, it really did help me on realizing that witchcraft isn't a textbook filled with rules- rather, something unique that is special and tailors to everyone. Thank you :)

I’m an alchemist. I love sulphur, salt, mercury, etc. Every time I watch one of you vids I say to the goddess “please free me from physical desire, but not yet.” 😀💖

I knew I was a witch ever since I was young; I had very vivid dreams involving witchcraft for as long as I can remember, but I really started getting into practicing a few months ago. I’ve been doing a lot of research, and I have to say your videos are so inspiring and beautiful. I’m so excited to be on this journey, and I thank you for all your advice and tips. 💗🌙🌿

I'm only twelve but I've known about my magick ability for a long time now. I've decided I'm going to start my journey now and this was a big help.

I actually have my bullet journal/planner and my book of shadows in the same book. I've tried to have 2 separate ones but I found it made me less likely to use either cuz it felt like too much work. Plus its nice to have my witchcraft in the same book as my planner. It encourages me to be more active with it every day.

Easy daily energy centering idea! If you get back from school, work, etc sage yourself! I do this everyday and it makes me feel like I got off any negative energy that might effect me later on!

Back when I was younger I started exploring witchcraft as a religion. I looked at so many different options and in the end I was overwhelmed. Now here I am almost 20 years later and coming back to it in a more organic way. I had to travel the country to find the one place I felt most at home is right here where I was born in the Pacific Northwest. I had to go to college and try out a bunch of different jobs before I found the one that was perfect for me, working as a teacher with special education students. Now that I'm settled into a job and location I noticed myself starting to garden, and work a lot with herbs and spices and building a reference library to go with so much of my homesteading and bushcrafting and bonsai books. I also started picking up oracle cards and eventually found a deck of tarot cards that I felt were just screaming my name. Recently I took a step back and thought that much of what I'm already doing and into goes right back to the practice of being a green witch. Now I'm focusing on that aspect and working on building my craft and working it in with all the other things I already naturally do to start weaving things together in a natural way. This has led me to your videos. Thank you.

Ive mainly been using google. Its really helping identify some plants.

Thank you for sharing! 3 years in the craft and found your tips super helpful. Love your video aesthetic very pretty and relaxing! Blessed be!

It’s my first day of trying to become a witch. I didn’t think I was going to be able to do it, super confused where to start. This really helps

I found out about modern witches and I fell in love. I am really into Greek mythology. I really want to learn about the spells, crystals, and rituals.

I've always felt this connection with the moon its hard to explain but it feels like something is calling me but I don't know what I have weird abilities when I dream but every time I share my experiences people tell me, "you're making that up" and "no one can do that" and it's just hard to talk about this stuff especially since I was raised in a Christian household and my parents told me witchcraft is evil but it's not there's so much beauty in it and I wish more people understood

I've been studying witchcraft for over a year and I'm so glad I've found so many helpful channels to help hone in my craft. This lifestyle is so beautiful and incredible and I'm glad we can share such a loving community!

Thank you! I've had to undo distorted informatin about witch craft/magic from the religion I was exposed to as a child, you introduce the craft with sincereity, love, positivity.. Thank you!

You don’t know the joy I feel that I’ve found your channel ! I’ve always loved nature ! Since I can remember I’ve been drawn to the earth and everything that belongs in that realm ! Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

I love your energy

Wonderful energy, and a perfectly laid out lesson! Blessed be~

It’s almost unreal as to how calm and peaceful your videos sound and feel. I watched your video on honey and it was amazing. I can’t describe it, but your videos calmed me down so much. Thank you.

I'm really excited for this! Thank you so much!!

That sounds so beautiful. Thanks for telling how to start.

This is one of the most beautiful youtube videos I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your gift.

Thank you! I found out about witch craft today and wanted to know more about it! This really helped!

As someone who has been looking for a calm community and and way to cleanse my anxiety... Thanks You all some much!

this is so cool! i’ve been wanting to become a sort of witch, because i’m christian, and i still want to keep my devotion to God and stay christian while also having fun doing this.

Annie, you are so lovely! I've always been interested in this sort of thing, and you've made it so approachable and way less daunting than I thought. I can't wait to start exploring my inner witch. Thank you for this!

This video makes me feel so much more comfortable and confident about beginning my path, thank you so much ❤❤

I don’t think I’ve ever felt more at home on a channel before, thank you so much :)

Blessed be! Such a beautiful video, beautiful message and thank you for taking the time to share you advice and guidance! xx

I am completely new to all of this and just started researching today...but I was immediately drawn to your video and felt instantly calm and at home when it started. Thank you for making beginning a little easier. :)

Thank you for sharing. I’ve been practicing for 4 months and will be celebrating my first Sabbat in February. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

This is my first time listening to your videos on my journey trying to find my path and I love what your creating. The energy that your putting out into the world is positive, helpful, joyful, educational, well organized and exceptional!!!!! I love what your doing and Thank you for sharing .

Thank you! I'm in the early stages of my journey but its fantastically exciting to see how much help is out there.

I’m very grateful for your willingness to share your journey with me. I’m very grateful that your videos were put in my path. Blessed be.

This was such a well said video. Thank you for the comment on witchcraft not being like high school! There’s no rush to get it done in 4 years. I think people tend to rush through life but we have so much time. Thank you for this!

you're so chill omgosh this is so lovely thank you

your comfort is comforting

Thank you ! I'm just starting, so i'm i the stage where I look for information everywhere, espicially in books. But videos are also nice and instructive. I really heard you about taking our time to discover this new thing, i will follow your advice 9even if it's hard because I'm so excited). Thanks again !

I really enjoy your videos! They both inspire me to try new things in Witchcraft and fills me with the desire to practice and expand my craft whenever I get some free time at home. Even if it’s just tending to my plant babies, or just making a little magickally infused tea, it never fails to make the mundane into something extraordinary for me, and I’m happy to see so many people have their own little Witchy Ways :)

I am so so glad I just discovered your channel. The energy you give off is so calming and real, I feel safe and comforted by your videos. The tips you've given are so precious and I know they will be so valuable. Thank you

You have the sweetest spirit!!! Love your vibe 🤗 BLESSED BE 🖤🖤🖤

What a beautiful video in so many ways. Thank you. I shut down my craft in my youth (my family forced my to) and forgot about it. I am rediscovering it now and it is overwhelming. Your advice is very helpful and I love the aesthetic of your video and channel so much. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

I really like the dark and love the energy of crystals

This is like magic the energy you give it's huge Queen Annabelle 👑

this was so helpful. i also love your personality and the vibe of these videos so much

I’m also into Herbalism. I’m always giving my friends tips on what they can use to help themselves.

I love your energy, you seem so nice 😊

This was a lovely video to watch. I am about to hit part 2. Thank you so much for the information. You've got a very calming presence.

Watching your videos makes me just feel good. Your voice is so soothing and the editing and music you use is perfect. I hope you are doing great.

I’m thankful that I have discovered your channel. New subscriber here.

As some of the others here spoke of the vibe that you give off is amazing. You really touched my soul. I was watching this video and tears were streaming down my face. Your voice is so soothing. Here I am 56 years old , I have perceived myself a witch for all of my life. Although I felt almost embarrassed by it. Like I had to hide my true self because it wasn't the norm. I checked out all kinds of Christian Churches and read everything I could get my hands on about other worldly religions. Because I feel like people will see me as evil if I follow my true path. Even though I am a white witch. There is nothing evil about it . Quite the opposite. I love nature and I love animals. I treat people fairly and I do not judge. I feel that everyone is equal in this world. Everyone has a purpose and everyone is beautiful in their own way. As well as with you my Dear. You are sharing your knowledge and even though I have been through so many years of reading books, reading Tarot Cards, writing in my Book of Shadows, practicing Reiki. You have touched my heart today and caused me to rekindle my love for who I truly was meant to be. I will now go unpack my tarot cards and begin again. Thank You for sharing.

I've been bingewatching all of your videos. I can't wait to get back to nature one day. A little cottage in a forest is my dream

This video brought me a lot of peace and comfort , thank you for your tips!

Hello from Sydney Australia darling. Beautiful tips. Thank you ❤

Thank you for this video it really helped me figure out lots of thing and answered a lot of my questions I always loved nature and herbs and everything like that and I really love that I found this video because you explain so good and easy I filled up 4 pages of notes from this most of the other videos I found went bait to fast and weren’t in me level since I am a beginners so this helped a lot thank you😊

thank you for this! you're so supportive and open-minded. I feel like my view on witchcraft differs A LOT from the stuff that everyone does so I was stopping myself from even starting it. You inspired me to start creating and making stuff that works for me personally.

I've always be interested and fascinated by witch practices and I'm just starting out so this video has been really supportive, motivational and uplifting...Thank you!

I absolutely HATE visualization. This is why I’ve had such a difficult time actually performing spells, and rituals in general. I always got it wrong. I just can’t find a way to visualize without getting uncomfortable or awkward. I’ve decided to take a break from witchcraft in general for a few months, and I’m just getting back into it now, since it is spring and I actually have motivation to do anything at all. Changed my practice from trying to cast spells, over to manifesting in general ways rather than making it difficult for me. I’m making smaller steps for myself and I feel better than I have before. I’m actually making progress rather than being stuck at the same spot. Even though I’m behind, I’m making a better practice for myself, and I can feel comfortable in my practice. I just want people to know that there are ways to personalize your practice based on your needs. It’s your practice, and you can do it in your way.

Thank you! I love your presentation and cinematography. And of course all the information, suggestions and guidance. If anyone is starting on an Astrological route, I recommend the Marion March and Joan McEvers series of "how to" books called the Only Way to Learn Astrology. There are 6 of them. Also Robert Hand's transit book is wonderful.

I love your videos and the music you incorporate adds this healing kind of vibe as well. Your videos have such a peace to them that its hard to believe it's a video. I absolutely love your channel. I identify as an earth/green witch andI am always learning and exploring new ideas and crafts. It's nice to see someone like me!

I can't really explain it but your videos give me such nostalgia.. and not only that, they feel calming and actually magical.

I'm so happy I found your videos! I have recently been looking into different types of witches, and I read about Green Witches and I absolutely fell in love with their practices. This video is extremely helpful for me and my notes, and just the all around vibe I get from you and your videos is absolutely amazing

I have been having trouble getting started in this craft. I am always second-guessing myself and my choices. I would love to set up a beautiful hearth and altar but my room is a mess and I feel so burdened by it. I also want to focus on the healing aspect of the craft but I am worried I will read a book or a spell that dips into black magick without knowing the difference. It's a little scary at times. Hopefully, I will learn to be patient and will slowly get a better grasp on my research and actions.

Your videos help me feel confident in moving forward with something ive been missing in my life, thank you!

This was the most pleasant and calming video I’ve ever seen💚

I love your videos

thank you so much, i’m a baby witch that follows the wicca religion and this helped me a lot

You make me happy about learning this stuff.

Awesome video. I can see the power in your eyes.

"Out of the Broom Closet"...I've never heard that one. Great content. I like this channel. Peace :) P.S. I will subscribe and learn what you have for us all. Cool.

Do you have any book recommendations? 🌿 :)

Your videos are so beautiful and informative! Thanks so much for creating these, they have been so helpful on my journey! 😄

As a a beginner, this is the best advice I have been given so far. Thank you so much, I really feel I can now continue with my journey :)
