At this point I am using the large Maple tree in my backyard to gather Earth energy. While I’m in my house, I visualize the tree with me inside it with my arms as the branches, my body as the trunk, and my feet as its roots going into the ground. I pull the energy into me for my working and then go back to the tree to return the used and excess energy into the Earth. I like to use pictures in my workings … I wonder if I used a picture of someplace like Stonehenge if I could pull any energy from that connection. … I’ll try that and see how it goes. I’ve started reading Condensed Chaos … There is a lot of information in the book, and I’ve just read the first chapter 😂😂😂 I hope you have a good week, Tammy

I know this is a late response but I would LOVE a video on baneful magick!

I love working with deity energy! Before I moved onto the Hellenic Pantheon (which I now call home at the moment), I worked with the Archangels as I dipped my toes back into the craft. It was an eye opening experienced to how powerful we and other beings can be

I always grounding myself and pushing branches from my crown in the same time. Like a Tree of Life. Harmony and Balance.

For me, I find Saturn energy is very Earth connected. It's so helpful in setting limits and gaining wisdom. Often I view that energy as the masculine form of what Mother Earth offers. This planet is being destroyed, it"s just festering. I get this sense that Saturn could spank a few of the most ardent offenders. I highly recommend cultivating a relationship with him. I am learning a lot.

I totally agree. Humans by design have a poor relationship with Saturn (no matter if we talk about the planet, the gods or the ideas around it) Saturn is the sphere of limits, decay, disease.... Everything humans dont like. When you make peace with Saturn it can unlock many doors : finding life purpose, banishing toxic influences, relieve pain, age better....

Thank you Ivy for sharing your thoughts! Just wanted to share another possibility that my guides taught me - I tap into the four elements for energy at the same time (and I visualize what they specifically do for the spell), and then add my own.

Thank you so much for making the kind of in-depth content that you do! The ins and outs of raising energy and energy work as they pertain to spellcraft are rarely covered in detail on the witchy side of KZread, which is unfortunate because it’s one of the most important aspects of successful magick. I’ve learned so much from your channel and I hope you continue to make more amazing videos like this!

Ughhh, I love your videos so much. No only do I learn things, but you inspire me to use my knowledge in new and creative ways. Some ideas to contribute: a water Witcher once told me he noticed that everywhere two pipes met underground and a tree was growing on top, the tree would grow in a spiral. I started looking around my town, and sure enough, every old spiral-growth oak was where a city water line would meet one that ran into a house, or where, a city waterline intersection was. So, not only are there little water vortexes everywhere with actual kinetic energy, but the waterlines themselves are flowing and have kinetic energy. This makes me think about the flow of electricity over our heads in power lines. Or using *actual* batteries, because hey, it works for ghosts right? Or, an old school candle flame. In addition, feng shui considers roads to have a flowing energy of sorts, and houses who are at an intersection need protection from the extra energy flowing directly at their house. The severity of this depends on how busy the road is. Just some thoughts for that intersection magic you were talking about. Oh! And road intersections in cities and suburbs will also have waterlines and power lines converging there as well. I love using all of my environment, including the suburbs and cities, which I consider “human habitats” much like termite mounds or anthills.

I have heard of rock stars working a huge event not getting a wink of sleep and meeting the following morning wide awake walking a beach trying to wind down from the concert they held the day before. I don't remember which rock stars they were or what event they were playing, but I have to imagine that playing huge shows and feeling the energy up on stage and getting the energy from the crowd has to be crazy. I just wish I remembered who it was or what interview I heard that in.

Very inspiring! I will watch again later when I can make notes to put in my grimoire. Thank you!

I tether the citrine I bought by placing it to my piggyback. It will be constantly fed by the energy of the coins.

Thank you Ivy, that's a great idea. Using "land spirits" in home protection.

I always use Reiki for my witchcraft. It works wonders. I will employ your tethering technique to my practice as well. Thank you! Honestly...I always feel super witchy when I send out reiki to others or animals or to objects; its like sending out magick through your hands like in a movie or something! So my source would be Universal life force energy. But I can also use Hekatean energy because thats a major part of my practice, I was attuned and initiated by Hekate so I think itd be easier to use her energy for any other type of magickal spell.

I live near a historical site which was California’s worse man made disaster, The St. Francis Dam break.

Some spirits really like to be remembered. ❤️ You could always go there one day with your tarot cards or a pendulum and ask the spirits whether they want to be left alone or whether they want to be remembered and if they want to develop a relationship. ☺️

Do you have any recommendations for good books on ley lines?

I just realized I'm living kinda at a crossroads. For 14 years I've lived on a corner lot with my front door facing a straight road and to the east is a road that ends at the road my home faces. Would my front yard contain crossroad dirt?

So once the item is tethered, how to keep the tethered. It seems that would make more work instead of less.

I am trying to do more writing spells. Such as Hypersigils and sigils in general. I focus the energy through my writing hand and my pencil onto my journal for them. Is that good? Just asking as a beginner.

I am pretty sure you have to actually be touching the earth, not the dirt, but no man made structure, so that your body is able to correct it’s ph levels by releasing ions into the actual EARTH. This does amazing things for mental wellness as well as your physical wellness. You can not actually ground yourself unless your feet are touching grass, sand, dirt, mountain, marsh, forest, etc…

Oh yes, I totally agree! I should have clarified that in the video. "Earthing" is totally different from energetic grounding. To receive all the delicious health benefits that come from touching the earth, we do actually need our skin touching it! ❤️ There's no other way to get the negative ions and such, you are correct. ☺️

@@IvyTheOccultist I knew exactly what you were referring to, but I feel that there is a HUGE tendency to use the word “grounding” instead of “earthing.” Online the latter is used quite interchangeably since 2015ish to the present moment of 2023, so I felt that it was an important aspect to mention. I just wasn't trying to get into the semantics of the two and differences between each. I just got and gave a great video idea! Haha!

Hey, can I ask what music you have playing in the background? X

If I take a trip to a place that's a Ley Line and it's not too far from where I live can I hold its energy in an object for use at home? What about holding energy from during a rainstorm to use later on since it doesn't rain much around here?

Try it and see if it works! I'm not sure the energy would be as strong, but it's worth experimenting! ☺️ I would recommend using a lock and a key for this. Sleep with a lock and key for a full lunar cycle to really connect it to you. Then go bury the lock on the ley line somewhere. Use the key in ritual to tap into that energy. Again, I don't think it would be as strong, but worth a try!

Where I live it is legal. I have used it in ritual as incense during a 7th gate rite. It helps to let go of things. As a Theistic Satanist I don't really have any taboo connected to weed. I just don't use it very often in my practice. As far as strain that works best, I have found a few that are decent hybrids depending on the goal. Blue Dream, Northern Lights and a classic OG Kush are fantastic. I would stay away from Indica strains because you want to be aware of what your doing. Fire and blades don't mix with couch lock. Also, plants love music. Ask them what they want to hear. You would be surprised. Some of them really dig Black Metal and EDM .

I thought leylines had been debunked? The original writer on the subject simply saw them as trackways linking sacred sites in the landscape, the idea was co-opted by later new agers who twisted it into ‘energy lines’, the whole thing has thoroughly been debunked. Of course anyone can believe what they like if it helps them. The sites themselves most likely are energy centres at least

op of this video specializes in chaos magic and in chaos magic belief itself is where power comes from. nothing has intrinsic energy all on its own, the energy comes from the belief you have in it. everything about magic can be debunked because none of it is tangibly real. however belief can actually have a small but observable real world effect on our bodies through things like the placebo effect. in fact, id even go as far as to say magic itself can be viewed very much as the intentional utilization of the placebo effect. im not the biggest fan of leylines personally, but if someone believes in them i see no reason why they'd be any less effective than anything else in this regard. everythings fake anyway, its only real when you believe its real

I hope there will be regulating laws in this teritory of creating thoughtforms irresponsibly. We need policing asap. To all who make witchcraft without a PERMIT! There are thoughtforms connected to certain places which are causing car accidents, with innocent peoples losing their lifes. Who should we hold accountable than people who actually created the thoughtform. So, policing on the spiritual teritory is needed asap, to protect the innocent peoples from those practicing witchcraft iresponsibly. As long as you're not hurting someone, you can do whatever you want, but thoughtforms are a very dangerous teritory, 'cause even if someone has an accident and that person suffers, you can' t blame the thoughtform, it's just a program like a robot, it doesn't know that it's bad to cause someone to suffer, you cant put a robot into a prison, it's not like it will suffer, but the one who you can and should give some time in a cell is the person who created it practicing witchcrafft.
