Don't Waste Your Pagan Pounds on This Rubbish!
I'm back after a whole lot of being ill and going on holiday and being ill again, and then going to a festival and finally getting bloody Covid for the umpteenth time.
And this time I am looking at another one of the ways in which arseholes with no actual knowledge or qualifications in witchcraft are trying to make money off the back of people just trying to start their witchcraft journey.

Magical Colouring In Books: the Ultimate Insult to Witchcraft.... (Also: I am having a very bad day)
zhlédnutí 574Před měsícem
I kind of lose it today. And why? Magical Colouring In Books. And I don't mean those pretty books with complicated pictures of fish and mermaids. I mean books marketed as being educational to adults, that you have to colour in. Yes, they exist. And yes, I looked at them. And yes, I got ridiculously angry. #witchcraft #witchy #rant #crone Also: my very bad day. And why people who identify as men...

    Absolutely here for witchy karen lol. I am also traditional, but was raised with folk practices from the ozarks and appalachia. I'm working on getting back to my family's roots, which can be tedious. I'm just happy to see someone keeping the gate for those who don't pay attention to what technology is doing to us. Like, I hate that people take advantage of the newbies. They didn't do that as much back in our day because everyone was too afraid to do so. At least that was the case in my community. People would hesitate to teach, now people are too excited to hop on being an ""expert"" and just throwing this shit out. Rubbish indeed. --Vyvyan

    So pleased you are better after all the illness and glad your Husband is on the mend. My parents went to Boscastle years ago and brought me back a flying witch doll. They loved it. It’s definitely on my ‘to visit’ list. Anyway keep being a Karen and gatekeeping! I got told I was gatekeeping horror because I said Shirley Jackson’s ‘The haunting of hill house’ was more of a ghost story 🤔 in a horror book group. Seems gatekeeping is the in word at the moment 😂 however I quite like the idea of being a gatekeeper (not gamekeeper though) 😊

    • @GrumpyOldCrone
      @GrumpyOldCrone Před 10 hodinami

      It's another of those phrases like "narcissist" that get thrown around willy nilly, isn't it? As I've said elsewhere, the old definition of a gatekeeper was not only someone who kept people out, but also someone who welcomed visitors in, and directed them on their way. That's the kind of gatekeeper I think I'd like to be...

    My husband and I used to do historical reenactments of the fur trade era and was on our way to a festival. He was dressed up in beaded buckskins, moccasins, I even think he had a knife on his belt, and went into a local store on the way. I followed at a discrete distance to watch people's reactions to him and was very disappointed no one seemed to notice anything peculiar.

Or they think they are anyway 😂 having a rant on YTube does not make you a karen and lets face it, people can always scroll if they don't like you! Sorry to hear you had your fun cut short with the A and E visit 😢😢 but lolll at the makeup, love it 😂😂 and oooohhh I won't be spending my very limited and precious lucre on this book but I would bloody love to read it one day when I need a chuckle 😂😂😂 and no, you aren't gatekeeping by protecting newbie witches from wasting their money on poor quality books thatarentevenabook lol. I wish there was one book that did it all but nope. If you want to practice then not even 100 books will tell you it all. Not even 1000. You could read allllll the books and you still wouldn't know it all!! This all smacks of AI written books to me!

    The gods and deities is the one that gets me... No one can agree on the number of Gods and Goddesses in Norse and Anglo-Saxon culture, how many of them are separate entities, or how many are the same deity under a different name, the deities of Ancient Egypt that are referred to often by pagans and scholars only scratch the surface, so 14 pages won't cover that. These printables seem to be a quick money making exercise for digital sellers.

    • @GrumpyOldCrone
      @GrumpyOldCrone Před dnem

      A friend contacted me off-CZcams and said that she'd had an advert for how to AI-generate these. So it would appear that they aren't even written by a bad person. No person at all! I'm even angrier now!

  • @sharia.king-trahan28

    I love your content! I also missed it but I was also sick with Covid so I completely understand why there were no videos. It kicked my behind! I’m not a huge fan of gate keeping but I have respect for someone who presents a damn good argument as to why they feel that way and you’re spot on. Looking forward to hearing more from you!

    • @GrumpyOldCrone
      @GrumpyOldCrone Před dnem

      I think there are some different ways and levels of what we term "gatekeeping". I'm totally against people who stop others from joining in a hobby because they don't fit the gatekeeper's sense of ... something. As a long-time female roleplayer, I have seen this a LOT. There's a certain kind of person who doesn't want women playing *their* game. I usually delight in taking these knobends down a peg or two. I've been playing since I was 16, and met every single partner I've ever had through roleplaying, usually whilst running the game myself. But the medieval role of a gatekeeper was not just to keep people out, but to welcome them in, and direct them on their onward journey. And *that's* the kind of gatekeeper I want to be.

    On the subject of Ron Hutton's ubiquity, I think that guy must have mastered the occult art of bilocation or something. He lives near me in Bristol and I am constantly seeing him all over the place. In fact it seems to freak him out a bit. About a year ago, I went to Chorleywood in Hertfordshire to visit my parents. It turned out that he was actually giving a talk at the local memorial hall in the village at the same time!

    Hi Annie, I am with you here. These so-called grimouires are such a load of rubbish and only have one use that they are useful for, and that's the shit house. I hope you enjoyed the little witch museum as much as I did when I went several years ago. We are planning on returning again soon.

  • @roberthubbard3302
    @roberthubbard3302 Před dnem

    Wearing that scary make up probably explains why you were seen so promptly in A&E. They prioritise cases in accordance with perceived urgency via the triage system. They probably saw your face and thought you must be dying or something. I once had to wait all night to be seen for a broken arm. So, maybe the best thing is to actually take the make up with you rather than take it off beforehand.

    • @craftyhobbit7623
      @craftyhobbit7623 Před dnem

      Yep. I have a kindle and I've signed up for a couple of sites that let you know about free and low cost books. It's been useful, but I tend to only look for authors I know because I came across a bloke who had written 10+ books over the last couple of years and I suspect he uses AI to write them. On Instagram I had an ad recommended to me a set of witchcraft books (something like 8 or 10 in all), for a cheap price - I tried looking for the books on amazon to see if the books were legit, couldn't find them, so either the books don't exist, the books are AI generated or it's plagiarized content if it is. Plagiarism is something you have to be on the look out for, especially with self-publishing. I don't have anything against Lulu, though because the Troth uses it to publish their books and newsletters so it's a useful company if it's used properly. I couldn't find anything on the witchcraft book author and the kindle guy doesn't even have a page on Fantastic Fiction. AI generated content is the worst not just because it steals stuff, but it also takes away people's critical thinking and research skills.

    The fist time I came across the term 'witchy' was by Charles Manson, which was taken from a courtroom statement from 1969. He said he told his followers to leave behind them some sort of 'witchy' mark after a crime. Hence the whole Beatles quotes left on the walls and stuff.

    Have you ever used Oracle cards? If I may, I would like to recommend The Talisman Oracle. I use it for my one question readings or whenever I need advice. By the way, I have many decks but the one I have used for 30 years is the Robin Wood deck.

    • @GrumpyOldCrone
      @GrumpyOldCrone Před 2 dny

      i didn't used to, but one of my favourite authors - Sharon Blackie - released a set she'd co-authored, so I bought them. It's a very different way of approaching things, but I kind of love them. I also just bought "The Sherwood Oracle" by Mark Ryan/John Matthews/Anne Yvonne Gilbert because I'm a huge fan of the Kip Carpenter's "Robin of Sherwood" tv series that Mark Ryan acted in. I'm still reading the LWB, but it's amazing so far! I've heard really good things about the Robin Wood deck. The readers I know who are lucky enough to own it, don't seem to want to use anything else. it's a really amazing deck by all accounts....

    I don't really have a problem with these colouring books. They are fun... Will you learn anything from them? Probably not, but there is magic in colour - you have the charkas and they have their own colours. Crystal magic is heavily colour based. Candle magic is based on colour. There are witches who practice art magic and colour is important to that. The elements each have their own colour that is associated with them. All of the runes have colours associated with them. Creating art and doing craft projects means that you can make things for your altar without having to buy expensive statues. What's created might not be considered fine art, but it's a start. People can bind their own books for their BOS/Grimoires and these have more meaning to them than a store bought notebook. Without 'art' the achievements of the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians would have been lost to time. It's just another way of practicing.

    You are so funny, lol! I’m in my early fifties, and I know EXACTLY what you mean about the 👓 😂! I’m not on TickTock so I hadn’t heard about the ancestor aurora thing. That’s hilarious. Of course, I’m sure our ancestors did hold it as a message or omen. I’ve seen it a few times growing up, and was always awed by it. I live in Texas, USA now so it’s too far south to see it. I almost choked on my drink when you made some comment about “frustrated scrap bookers”😂. I’m a novice witch, only since 2020. I found witchcraft on CZcams during the pandemic and realized I’ve always been a witch. Of course, Wicca-esque information was what I came across first, all these young influencers. I’ve never been really good with keeping a books of shadows, but I regularly keep a “Book of Mirrors” for tarot readings and other divination reflections. I also keep private thoughts about my spiritual development and interactions with various deities and spirits. I do love crafting and art and am developing as an art witch so I do love decorating with stickers, coloring book images, envelopes, etc… but it’s more like for either helping me remember new information or as part of a spell with my intention being imbued as I create with materials I’ve charged. I do like watching those videos because sometimes they inspire me for spells or study pages. You’ve been practicing since before it “was cool”. I do feel that some witchy content is more about the aesthetic rather than actual spell craft. It must be frustrating at times for you to see skills you’ve worked in and built when it was a less socially acceptable way of life be paraded as arts projects rather than the serious magical arts they are. Thanks for the tips on drying flowers and herbs. Your hand fasting sounds absolutely wonderful! Idk if you’ve ever considered a video covering the basics, but I’d love to see that. My nephew and his husband had a hand fasting a couple of years ago on Halloween. It was awesome (although most family members are uncomfortable with the LGBT community and witchcraft here in the south. Btw, if you feel like sharing that homemade cheddar broccoli bake recipe- I love to cook, and that sounds awesome. Blessed be. ❤

    Calm down Karen! How about people doing what brings them joy? No one's forcing to but these adult coloring books.

      I often wonder what Bill Hicks would make of the Social and Political landscape if he was alive today. I mean, he'd probably explode with anger, but he'd skewer it VERY accurately, I feel.
