Been doing witchcraft for years I am glad you said many people only want the idea of being a witch. It's a craft that has to be studied and learned and performed.

Hi everyone, I started getting interested in witchcraft a few months ago. I studied it, read a lot about it, but never took the time to practice. I was never feeling motivated enough, always felt tired, exhausted before starting it. I finally gathered some salt, put it in jars and placed them in my apartment. I then lit up some incense and wandered around, filling the flat up with a thick, scented smoke, then sat down and thought about ptotecting my house, and getting strengh to finally practice. I felt better in an instant. It felt as if I just woke up from a wonderful nap, I feel amazing. I'm just sitting here on the floor in my smokey living room, typing this because I felt the need to share it. Sending lots of love to my witch sisters, brothers and person 🌙
My wife and I are Green Witches, but are also very eclectic. As a Male Witch I'm hoping you can address the role of Male Witches and how rewarding it can be for both husband and wife to practice the Craft. It took we Male Witches many years to get even people practicing the Old Ways to stop calling us "Warlocks." I look forward to learning from you and exchanging ideas. Blessed Be.
Hi Everyone, I finally decided that I was a witch a few months ago. Since admitting that and finally accepting the fact that I am pagan (I was raised strict southern Baptist convention) I have been much happier. I just started my Book of Shadows a few months ago. I made my own little travel altar and made my own wand from a fallen branch the tree I always park by gave me. I still have a lot to learn, which is why I am so grateful for Ella and this community.

I'm so happy for you! I wish you the absolute best on your journey! As a little kid, I didn't realize that most of the things I do were already Witchcraft plus Ive realized how happy I truly was back then besides my toxic Christian family and all the childhood and religious trauma I have. I would make my own potions setting intentions, connecting with plants and animals, loving herbs, being more spiritual, connecting with the moon, collecting sea shells, making things out of sticks rocks, acorns, doing my daily rituals along with so much more! I'd love to reconnect with myself again so I've been getting books on stuff I'm interested which I'm more of dark magic, green witchcraft, sea witchcraft and lunar witchcraft so I'm starting my book of shadows to take notes taking it one step at a time.

Thank you! I am just making my decision now. Just talked with my husband about it again..but with deliberate intent. Your words meant so much to me!
I am an Eclectic who I live in the city. There are some restriction that can prevent me from from being in nature. But my neighborhood isn't too safe. There is a park with a lagoon. But there are alot of wild geese, and we are told to be careful, due to crime. Also, our building doesn't have a backyard where one is allowed to plant gardens. I incorporate green/kitchen elements in my practice. I work with herbs that I purchase through metaphysical stores that I support. However, I am planning doing indoor garden, by planting some herbs that I connect with: Sage, Rosemary, Basil, and Flowers like Lavender and Chamomile.
I love how simple you explain everything. I'm very new to the craft. I can get overwhelmed so easily.
For me, I started looking into witchcraft to understand further phenomenon. While the material world which we all concieve is something i'm attach to. The immaterial are things far more phenomenal that I wish to understand. I have a psychologist that aids me in mental issues, and so far no symptoms tied to hallucinations are noted. But I do think that due to my constant depression, it has made me more vulnerable and less bitter in imagining the probability of something being out there.
I call myself a make do witch. Or a frugal witch. I started out setting up all the bells and whistles on my alter, but have pared down to a handful of crystals, a candle, my cards and inscense. It's all about what works for you. I use a day planner to write down my readings, and a giant notebook as a book of shadows . Each with it's own special pen (I just lije the way they write. They're not pretty). I use KZread a lot, read recommended books or authors, Google a lot and learn daily.
I've been practicing on and off for more than 20 years... Coming back after a while, this is very helpful to reconnect❤ thank you.
I just got back into witchcraft after a whole series of rabbits holes i practice green + kitchen witchcraft I’m falling back in love w my life just off the simple tasks im so glad i went thur everything I did because at the end of the day everything is connected w oneness❤️🙏🏾✨ and I absolutely love moving w intention vs just vibes and no type of conscious intent!
Hi Ella! I've been watching you for a while and i'm soo happy you're making this series, can't wait for new videos! Btw i would love to see you talking about mental health and witchcraft in this series. Idk if that's something you feel you can cover, just a suggestion. I was thinking tips to make your practice accessible when you're struggling with mental illness (i could use some lol), how witchcraft can help in your life but also when it's time for professional help. I've been reading about witchraft for a 1,5 years and just recently did my first ritual. I guess i'm struggling with feeling i'm a fake, cuz i don't believe some things most witches do. I'm not drawn to spells, tarot or deities. For me it's more taking care of and doing things for my family and friends through hearth witchcraft, but not in a sense that "if i add this specific ingridient, this person will feel this specific way", it's more about the energy you give and just the act of caring. So idk if you can even call that witchcraft. Besides that i'm also interested in making natural remedies for mental and physical health issues, connecting more to nature and implementing parts of slavic folk culture and tradition into my life. I also feel some sort of connection to the moon. Sorry for this ling comment, i just needed to vent, don't expect you to answer
Hi Ella! It’s very nice to meet you 😊👋🏽. This video helped a lot thank you so much ❤
Thank you so so so much Ella! You're videos and your book have helped me so much.
I am interested in Witchcraft or, as I prefer to call it, "Witch Crafts." I believe the latter term is more suited to my personality. "Witchcraft" seems to be more "woo-woo" and also has too much negativity attached to it. My interests are primarily in folk remedies, folk ways, and herbology. "Witch Crafts" seems a more practical description, as it relates to actual practices, rather than any semi-religious or philosophical beliefs.
I don't understand what witchcraft is. I am however going down the witchcraft rabbithole and I want to understand it, so here I am
I have only begun to learn as do September 2023, so I’m very new.
your point of view is really benevolent, thank you for this video! As an apprentice, I find it hard to know where to start.

Hi Ella, I saw your book in a store today. I was looking for a different one but then saw yours & considered getting it, I still might, does it come in paper back? I couldn’t find it in store & looked online & didn’t see it there either. Hard backs are just so big & usually cost more. Thx ☺️
Thank you
Thankyou I have been reading researching witch craft for about 3 years but have been holding back on actually crafting a spell incase I do it wrong but maybe now I will just go for it what spells would you recommend for your first try ? Xxx

Totally random, but I have 4 cats and regardless of where i put my altar, after returning from work they have always destroyed it. So my question… how to keep my kitties out of altar space?
@Ann963

Maybe have an altar box for the small items, and part of your ritual would be setting out and putting away the pieces. Or literally develop a travel altar, like the bare minimum you would want to take in a shoe box or something. I’ve even seen an altoid box altar for backpacking! 😂 You could also test different oils and spices to scent your altar with distasteful (to cats). Common repellents that work for most cats include cinnamon, cloves, pepper, and citrus.

Scribd is my favourite for reading books digitally they have a big selection of witchy books! But another good way is to read non-witchcraft books such as books on herbalism, ethnobotany, anthropology of religion or ritual for example :)

Some do and some don't. Its all about your preference and what you are comfortable with.
my opinion...what the very basic you need to be a witch or anything like that is....an ability to control ur desires (especially 7 deadly sins) and a strong faith/belief in the supreme entity that protects you,..which i find it very difficult
@Ann963

How do you relate the definition of a witch to avoiding the 7 deadly sins and theism? (Please correct me if I misunderstood you.) Is that a Wiccan thing? A Catholic thing? (Genuinely asking😊)
