Omg I can't get over how sweet an genuine you are as a person and a witch! I still consider myself as a baby witch as I'm not that experienced and I'm still researching about witchcraft; but your channel has really helped me in somany ways. Sending positive vibes through my phone screen 😁💙🧙

"Yall gotta keep it down, I'm filming." You got me dying over here 🤣

I really appreciate that you were so honest with your reviews and didn't shy away from when a book flat out lost you due to your knowledge on the subject, rather than blaming the book or avoiding talking about that aspect. That was really helpful! :)

Learning how to use the planets..along with the cycles of the moon and planetary hours really makes a difference. You can never have to many correspondences in my opinion. Great video...loved it

I loved Dennings' Planetary Magic, it's a great system that's different from other ceremonial ones, a great stand alone. If you want to learn more about the nature and essence of each planet, books about astrology are probably a better bet!

Thanks for the reviews Olivia! D= Venus first & foremost is our values (2nd house), so I'd definitely go to her before Jupiter if you're attempting to gain money. Jupiter is mostly going to bring expansion & experiences -> wisdom. If you're not really feeling astrology, perhaps look closer at your aspects & the decans your main 3 are in. For example a late degree Aries has Sagittarius/Jupiter influence, while a mid degree Aries is more Leo like. Once you know the archetypes you're able to pick up others energy rather quickly 😅 then you realize it's in literally everything & things like a post on FB normally corresponds with the daily energy xD it's wild. I know the trippiest thing for me was realizing that the majority of my favorite musicians, artist, KZreadrs, Podcasters, etc all have Aries moon. I'm just like nooo make it stop xD you recognizing your energy in others and end up getting drawn to it 🤣

My Venus is 3 degrees in Taurus ♉️ what does that mean financially?

@CelestialAshii

@@jessicarangel3436 if you're interested in finances I would look at which house Venus is located in & what aspects are being made to it. Then what's going on in your 2nd, 6th, 8th, & 10th house. An overview of your whole chart will tell you what's going on overall, rather than looking at one placement. With Venus in the Taurus it does indicate that you value monetary goods, comfort, and stability. Money may come through slow and steady growth, but say your Venus had a lot of squares or oppositions you may struggle with finances much more than someone with a lot of sextiles or trines.

@@jessicarangel3436 you can try astro-charts to look at your chart & see which aspects you have. You can Google astrology/aspect symbols to help you read your chart or find a video on how to read a natal chart. You can also watch KZread videos on something like Venus in 'whichever' house. Otherwise it's a lot of studying. The fastest way would be to buy a natal chart reading from someone. Astrology can take a long time to really understand, so going to a professional & paying ~120$ is often worth the money. If you do go to a professional, ask about your financial houses house lords to get a better idea on how you can make money.

Ashley Castillo I’ve noticed! Do you recommend anyone?

I love these reviews! I am so adding Planetary Magick to my to-get list! I've worked with astrology, numerology, and tarot, for so many years, even before I fully/consciously embraced witchcraft! I can't wait to read this!

i seriously love these book reviews, so informative and i can't wait to read them over quarantine

Thank you for uploading in these hard times, your videos brighten my day, thanks for helping a fellow witch

Hi Olivia!!! I just have to say that I absolutely LOVE your videos. Your reviews are very informative its amazing for me. I'm a baby witch I just started but there's soooo much information out there. So I started to follow you and you are my guide through this. Your book reviews helped me get my first two witch books. Thank you so much for your personality (youre amazing!) And all your information is greatly appreciated. Blessed be

Hi Olivia! I really enjoyed this book review today! Always looking for other people's POV on books, because yeah, we all need to know what we're buying right. I have to look up both books because they both look universally useful to me right now. I'm more of a representational practitioner fused with psychological study, and this material is right up my alley. Thank you for spending the time on this video, it was such a great help!

My intuition's getting better! Today while I was working (from home, ofc), I was getting up to make myself some tea and thinking 'hmm it's Wednesday, it's the 13th, it feels like the right time for Olivia to post' - and there it is!! Always looking forward to your videos!

I like what you mentioned about how the book went over the different contexts and uses for different energies (Venus isn't just for love, etc). I think of it like this: say you're trying to do a spell of protection to keep someone from bullying your little sister. You're using a reference book that says to use a clove of garlic for the spell, which is associate with protection, but all you have is an apple, a symbol of love and fertility. The tools in your spell obviously don't matter as much as your intention, but you can *shape* your intention around the *energy* of your components. Your love for your sister could be manifested by/represented by that apple in your spell. You call on the love represented in that apple to manifest around your sister and protect her. It's still a protection spell, but you're sort of directing the energy represented by the components in the way you want them to go. It's a tactic I've found helpful while quarantined with my very Christian family, have access to limited supplies.

Y'all gotta keep it down I'm filming 🤣🤣🤣

Your book reviews are my favorite videos. I've discovered and purchased a lot of great books through you. Thank you!

Like always thank you so much for your information! I have read some of the books you have recommended and I haven't been disappointed. Blessed be.

15:14 as soon as she said "sudden adventure" as a characteristic of Luna, a chord was struck inside me and I now want this spellbooks

The bang at about 11.40 and the reaction was that "ugh, kids" kind of an eye roll. Seems that they did listen though. Really informative overview, on a subject I have never touched though I have seen it mentioned in a few books

You make this box so tempting! I love this video, thank you so much for making it

Hi Olivia! Have just discovered your Chanel! It’s great! You’re great! I LOVE your journal title page and monthly journal set up, your Witchy advice is grounded and inspiring... like I have read so many books my whole life and have learnt more in a few videos than all those books combined.. like the sigels vid for example. So happy I have found you! Keep up the amazing wok!!! 🎃💞💞💞🍁

I was going to get another book and I honestly just started watching your channel the last few days & I did not know about Little Cup of Magic! So of course the other book is saved for later & I bought yours. I think LA is lucky to have a spirit like yours...SoCal needs it I feel like. I’m in Ventura County...and Ive just been trying to get through how I feel since the quarantine. So I am trying to help people anyway I can even if it’s just meditating and praying about healing our community & the world. I had major dreams before it happened so I get worried....makes me feel like if I dreamt about it...it means it has to do with a family member. So I’m trying to be safe learn how I can use my abilities to help us...& anyone who I can in general . But your a ray of sunshine and thank u for always thinking of how to help us learn more.

The second book seems very interesting. I have to try find if I can get it here somehow. Thank you so much for your great review 😊

Hi beautiful olivia! It’s so nice to see you again i love your tea also.. today my cup of tea while watching your videos was chamomile with rose petals and honey!!

Just letting you know: In zodiac tarot (at least how I've learned it, and I'll be happy to get other info if other people know differently), The Moon card actually doesn't represent our moon. Our moon is actually represented by the High Priestess card. The Moon tarot card represents the constellation Pisces instead. And again, if other people know different, I would be happy to do more research. I was just researching this last night and thought you might find that tidbit interesting!

Thank you ❣️ I ended up buying the 1st book and the Magic of I planner 💝

Just wanna say it kinda sucks butt that I have to hide everything from my husband & kids. I was able to get him to understand what tarot really is for & he is very open minded to a point. Like I wanted chickens Took me a year to get them cuz he believed they would just make us sick. Love my freaking chickens! So anyways sorry...it’s like books are the hardest to get! If I order anything he sees it & it’s like uhhhh. Or I’m just too scared to try. I did order yours tho...& I had have the RWS deck but It is a very happy kind & gentle & helpful deck. I needed something more in a way....Thank God Penny Dreadful’s 2nd season has Santa Muerte! We watch the show so I was able to sneak in getting the Santa Muerte Tarot! I’m so excited! I really also want the dark mansion. I would only be reading for fam & close friends & mostly myself. But books are so important but it’s hard to find any that u know will have enough or any of what u need. Also money is tight of course so I can’t just keep buying trying to find shit that will help me as a beginner that’s actually for beginners. I need juicy books! I don’t know why that keeps popping up in my mind but yeah...juicy books!

I really want to get into this type of stuff but my parents definitely don’t support it and won’t get me any of these materials (mostly books on this stuff. They might be skeptical about candles too). So this is really helpful and I love these videos, so thank you!

i maybe understand if they're skeptical about astrology, but why the hell wouldn't they get you candles?

It's so funny to me, in an "it takes all kinds" sense, that I clicked on this because I vibe a lot with space and stars and whatnot, and you're just like "Not my cup of tea, couldn't finish the book!" Which I fully respect of course. But your review still makes me want to buy the books, which shows you're a good honest reviewer! Correspondences always give me the snoozes though, better work through that if I'm going to make planetary magic work for me from the sounds of it (I'm a lazy witch)

I ordered the moon spells book $9 free shipping (last night). I have the everything astrology book (since I was 16), your fate is in your hands, a little bit of palmastry and practical magic. I also had a dream book but someone jacked it from me along with my mary jane shoes.

love this video and it is defiantly very helpful I will have to check out those books

I love the way you talk even with your face expression make me laugh so bad some times!!! Girl, I just wanna say!!! Go on!!! Carry on cuz you are really an inspiration!!! I have a witchcraft channel too in Italian, and I discover you like 2 months ago, cuz one of my subscribers was ” hey your hairstyle looks exactly like Olivia style ” and I was” who the egg is Olivia now?!?!” and after I discovered you and I'm just soo glad of it!!! Spending blessing sis #blackflamescovenloveyou

thanks Olivia!!! rly liked this one

I love your book reviews!!! Thank You!!!!!

The book talking about "Should you do this spell" sounds so interesting to me.. because sometimes it takes me WEEKS to work a spell. Like I have to build the whole nursery for my new work. Lol

14:15 "always the student" LOL so true.

this is just what i needed today !

Enjoyed the in-depth review and you 🤗

So as I’ve been reading through the AO, it says that the timing doesn’t matter as much in regards to magic. This makes me wonder if because the planets do represent deities, do we actually (in a very simple sense) invoke the gods and goddesses to tap into their energy? Thoughts?

i love your freckles!

Dude, I felt the same way, and this was my first book subscription. 🤣🤣 I was almost discouraged to continue investing in TWB.

Thanks for the review. Very helpful

Odins day wednesday, thursday thorsday depending on practice. If you read discoverie of witchcraft by reginalt scott it tells you how to bee a witch but you need the 1588 version has it has the missing pages in it. By forbiden press. Its not easy to read as its written in old english. The version written by montague summers in the 1930s, does not have the missing chapters.

I think of mars energy as the catabolic force in the universe. So, yes there's a lot of bad you can do with destruction. However, there's good and a necessity for it's existence. For instance, destroying germs or invaders, controlled burnings for new growth, clearing out the debris if you will, also definitely protection.

So I have a concept I am currently working on and I would like to get your feedback. I am working on making colored flame spell candles by infusing the color changing chemical into the wax. The idea I had behind this is that as far as I am aware, color plays a big role in practice. I was thinking something along the lines of having a white candle with white flame and dried mint and a spearmint essential oil for an Air Candle or maybe a green one with a green flame

I had Butterfly Pea Tea today too!

I just recently got that second planetary book. It is beefy! Not an easy read but I feel it's gonna be a main book I use at least for planetary magick

That candle distract me so much xD was my focus for all the video

I want to read these books so much!!!!!

Thanks Olivia

Thanks for the video, I've been thinking about planetary magic. While you make me think it could be boring, I think I still want to investigate. Maybe it was just the authors..

Love this book review 🎉🎉🎉

Hi.. I love your videos..I learn so much!!

Hey I just wanted to say thank you for your videos, they're really good. :)

wow, the first book, seened like a relly good beginer book (ur geting good at the book rivews)

Good morning! Let’s get reading 🥰

Please, write a book of spells! I'd love to read it

I am curious if you felt or saw any differences in the outcome of your spell work after implementing what you learned from the Planetary Spells & Rituals book, i.e. timing your spells to certain times of the day/night, working with planets at the most efficient time

Great job❤

So beautiful

I thought this was gonna be a book about manipulating the actual planets and cosmos, which would have been dope. Imagine what you could do if you could increase the moon's mass by even one percent, or changing the axial tilt of the Earth.

Thanks Olivia! I've been wanting to pick up the larger book so thank you for your honest review. Have you ever read the Planetary Magick book by David Rankine - I've read both good and bad feedback about that book so I'd love to hear your opinion too if you have read it or if you ever do read it. Xxx

Examining this book and some of the other reviews you've done actually raised a question for me that I'd be curious to hear your input on. Have you ever run into an instance in your research where you felt like what was being branded as witchcraft was just a form of rebranded cultural theft? I grew up with Jicarilla and Navajo religious practice and sometimes feel like certain books and teachers borrow/steal those principles for profit

Olivia, I've been a faithful follower for some time now. I always enjoy your posts, even when you feel you've done a horrible job. You never have posted a horrible video yet. I'm gonna say something totally off topic from this video, which I also am interested in btw. In the midst of the quarantine and shut-in situations all around the globe, how are you staying so beautifully fit and radiant as ever? No, this isn't a cheap pickup line lol. I'm asking bc I'm not able to go to a gym, my neighbors are creepers so there's no working out outside, such as shimmying up a small tree to try pole dancing. Plus it's still too cold bc I live in central NY. I'm a nurse, and I only go to work and straight home to shower lol. Sorry if that's TMI. Anyway, I'm frustrated and tired of the feeling that the walls are closing in on my plumping ass! Warm weather better hurry up. I think momma nature may have COVID bc this weather is confusing.Is there anything, witchy or otherwise, you can suggest? OK I'm gonna go take my MEDS now lol. Thanks ;p

Weirdest thing ive done with the planets, I once used Jupiter rain water to make a period cramp removal tea (expansion energy!). worked immediately for me and a friend who was going through the same problem haha

those actually sound kind of fascinating

Quick side note: i LOVE your freckles 😍😍😍

It's funny because I started from the Planetary Magick book (from total zero, and I haven't finished it). I tried ONE spell, almost just "for the kicks" (but for a kinda serious reason)... and it worked. XD I'll study the book better one day.

I had to recheck my book to see if I had Saturn. 😆 mine is the same way... 😳

I like your book review, I just wish there was a synopsis of what Planetary Magic is to begin with. I have used planetary energy, but I had never considered it as "planetary magic", so I thought this was approaching a subject to which I was unfamiliar. (the more you know, the more you learn that you don't know, you know?)

What spells can I do during the night of meteor showers?

Hello-T.Y 4 posting.

Maybe the publisher will send you a link to the PDF of the missing Saturn page. 😊

Bath bomb and Olivia? Relaxation here I come

Great Review. Foolish Fish has a review of this book you might find helpful.

The more difficult an occult book is to read, the more wisdom you can get out of it.

I had noticed that Planetary Spells and Rituals is on backorder like...everywhere I've looked, so I'm crossing my fingers hoping that means they're going to fix that printing mishap because I really wanted to get that book. *knocks on all of the wood*

My mom found my book of shadows and told me that if I wanted to study somthing I should study the bible. To be honest that kind of hurt and made me stop for a couple of weeks but now I'm back!

Hey I been trying to join your discord but the link in your descriptions come up as expired or invalid? Could you provide an updated link or invite pls? 🙂

Can someone help me? I have been trying to ask a deity to send me a sign if he chooses me to work with, because I want to work with him. Today I found empty corn cobs, a stick stripped of its bark, and pink salt. I don't know what any of it means, but I feel with conviction that they are signs.

I love planetary magic. Its just so hard & confusing though.

What books would you suggest for a beginner please, I’d be really grateful for any advice on this. I started research a few years ago but go scared when I got my first book. So if you have any good books for me to look at I’d be really appreciate it. Thank you 😊

Wicca: a guide for the solitary practitioner by Scott Cunningham is commonly recommended and I agree. What Witches Do by Stewart Farrar is like a mini encyclopaedia. You won't hear much about the second but it is really good. Drawing Down the Moon by Margot Adler is all about the people and various groups who do/did modern paganism, really helps you know who is who when you see people referenced by others. Also helps you understand why we are drawn to witchery. Anything by Doreen Valiente. Anything by Janet and Stewart Farrar. Ignore The Witches Bible for now, it just is a script of ceremonies for existing groups that follow Wiccan rites. I never got any value out of it. Most of the above equate witch with Wiccan, but you don't have to be one to be the other. It's just because they're older and it took a few decades for the two terms to mean something separate. Rune Soup is a good podcast/blog. Lucky Mojo by cat yronwood is good too. CN Beyer is a good online resource and you should read up on her site. And finally learn some form of divination to start off. Learn to cleanse, clear and protect yourself and your home. Remember to call in positive energies when you banish negative energies or the negative will rush right back in. Be aware that toxic people use local magical communities too. And don't use magic/energy when you can just use some elbow grease, you'll wear yourself out. Use common sense basically :)

How do you make the tea taste good?

When the time is right. You should write your own book someday. A different topic, you got a great hairstyle, but overall you look beautiful
