    So good to hear you speaking about crystals and the harm mining them makes.The people who are exploited. It breaks my heart to see how cheap they are on Internet. How many "witches" pushing the story that we NEED 100 specific crystals.When I was young we had an understanding not to buy crystals. I have been given many that are beautiful. But I don't engage with the grab everything "witchy" one can buy.Bear in mind what our ancestors used;being Irish I doubt they were using Brazilian amethyst! ❤

      I was fortunate enough to spend summers with my granny in western North Carolina (in the US) which is the source of many natural gemstones. We used to find them easily on her property & she was very knowledgeable about gemstones, herbs & local Appalachian folklore. . She passed several years ago. I treasure the stones I have & use them often in my craft because they are my connection to her.

      💯 I never understood the obsession with this - and especially practices harming nature or others,wl while one follows a path of nature spirituality 🤨 if I use stones, then it is the ones I find around here 😊

    While not being a witch or of witchy persuasion, much of what you say and share resonates with me. I love hearing all the folklore and traditions, plus I love when you cook up your delicious food. I love seeing the beautiful scenery around where you live. I definitely love Terry Pratchett's books and love that you enjoy them too. Thank you for sharing your time with us.

    Terry Pratchett is by far my favourite author. Excellent suggestion! My favourites (so far) are Reaper Man, Wyrd Sisters, Lords and Ladies, and A Hat Full of Sky.
    I am currently reading Wintersmith.
    He certainly had a brilliant view of witchcraft among so many other topics.
    Much love to you and yours.

    More people should learn about the fact that the rusty old folklore books contain much, much more witchcraft fun stuff than any other new witchy book, no matter how profound and praised! Also - leave it to the Germans to describe and categorise stuff! This is one aspect, which makes me trully regret not learning that language. And, of course, thanks for the shoutout! 🥰

    I was so chuffed when I heard you say that Terry Pratchet inspired you. That's exactly what happened to me. As soon as I started reading the witch ones I knew that I wanted to be like Granny Weatherwax. Sadly I think I'm more like Nanny Ogg, lol, but it got me back to paganism again, which I'd been into when much younger. I loved hearing your Q & A, Bex. You also inspire me and I feel energised by the ideas you give me. Thank you. :)

    Oh my goodness. I love that you mention the witches from Terry Pratchett.

They are so practical and they roll up their sleeves but also can travel through the mind of a crow. Love it.

Now is that witchcraft cuz some people told me i am not a wizard (i am calling myself wizard cuz i'm male) and that i have no idea in the practice.

    Darf ich fragen wie du dich beschreibst abseits von CZcams, statt das Wort Hexe zu verwenden? Weil ich mag den Begriff auch nicht so gern verwenden für mich weil 1. es sehr fiktional klingt, 2. Hexe eher mehr für Frauen verwendet wird hab ich das Gefühl (aber Hexer würd ich auch ungern verwenden) und 3. Ich denke dass viele Leute darüber lachen wenn man den Begriff verwendet. Deshalb wollte ich dich mal fragen, wie du es stattdessen erklärst? :)
