I am so sorry that you have to make some of your videos private because of backlash. But, I am so glad that you continue on in your you tube offerings to those of us who totally enjoy all of your content. You are awesome! Thank you so much for your channel!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🥰🫶
@@IvyTheOccultist Can you grant your subscribers access?
@@IvyTheOccultist I LOVE your videos, you are a natural presenter !
I’m glad you talk fast there’s nothing worse than someone who talks so slowly and never really says anything
Agreed!!
the hot weather just sucks all the energy out of me. give me cool and cold weather and I'm all set but this time of year i don't feel like doing anything. the key thing is to notice a pattern to know when such things happen.
This is exactly what brought me to this video. I’m in Miami and it’s July. I just came from outside for two minutes. I’m so drained.
I admire you for still tackling "controversial" topics despite backlash. I heard of another witchy creator using glamour magick to attract the right viewer or an open minded viewer. They said they never got any Christian backlash on their content anymore!
Also, I love fast talking people. For me, people often talk too slow : )
“Boredom is the instigator of creativity.” Gaw damn Ivy

Laziness and feeling tired are definitely two different things but as we know our society we don't like to talk about depression.
I know that some of my relatives would call me lazy but the truth is that I'm so tired. I'm in a shitty situation where it's really tough for me to practice magic or do mundane stuff because I feel always low of energy mentally and physically. And with this vibe I doubt on myself and my magical practice. I know where it comes from and I definitely take my time to solve one issue after another and practice magic when it feels right for me. Two days ago I really shut down all my devices and it felt so good not to present 24/7 and not to check any minute if there is a new notification. But at the same time there was the thought "what if something is happening and no one can reach me?". I had to remind me that I don't need to be present for everyone. Sometimes we really need to take time for ourselves and no matter in what kind of situation we are. It's okay to come first.
Thank you for this video Ivy!❤
"I don't need to be present for everyone." Yes. This. It's so hard to get over that guilt. I'm glad you acknowledge that it's okay to come first - and I hope you get some much needed rest!!
So glad this came out as I’m starting to come out of my laziness funk. Totally reaffirmed my thought that it’s okay to struggle and that I was taking the right steps to break out of it.
Yes, sometimes it's good to rest but I'm glad you're breaking out of it!! ❤️
Oof. That journaling about wheel of life deposits and withdrawals REALLY had me called out
I am always having impostor syndrome when it comes to me not doing as much or knowing as much but I have goals in mind and just have to remember that your spirituality should've look 100% like another person's. Set it to what works and fits for YOU. Amazing video Ivy!! Thanks for making this!!
Yes to all of this!!
I so appreciate you making this video. I have Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, and thyroid disease on top of chronic pain. Nothing helps with the daily fatigue. I'm on disability because of all of this.

This recent Sagittarius full moon awakened something back in me. The flair is back! 💁🏻♂️
YAY! 👏 We love Sag 💃
It is good to know that Im not alone in my struggle w procrastination and laziness.... Although sometimes I'm not sure if it is a trauma freeze response or laziness and procrastination but either way I need to correct these issues... Thank you for this video! Much love and many blessings everyone!!! ☺💜🌎🙏

"Do things that are genuinely enjoyable to do"
Yes!! I made this change about a year ago and stopped forcing myself to do things I thought were part of an appropriate structure and practice but I wasn't really excited about (sometimes some of those things still call to me a bit and I do them) and it has made a world of difference! This is great advice.
I didn’t think you were talking too fast. In fact it was perfect. I usually have to speed up other videos I watch.
I love the rate you naturally speak, on your other videos I default to x2 speed :)
I would think that the coven video was for like minded viewers. I think I would've just blocked the haters since it wasn't for them anyway and continue with something sooo important to so many. Love your videos! Recently discovered them.
As far as I'm concerned you could do all videos at your natural speed, I usually set videos to 1.5x or 1.75 because most people talk so frustratingly slow ;D
The amount of people that complain about how I talk would disagree with this 😂😂 but I like fast talkers, too!!
This! 🙌 Love The Speed
I love the "talking too fast" disclaimer bc I still watch your videos at 1.75x speed 😂😂
I deal with procrastination a lot. This was very helpful! Thank you!
I think I needed to hear that part about turning off everything in order to let creativity grow. I spend way too much time on my phone or iPad instead of doing witchy things. I hope that periodically you repeat that advice because it’s SO important in this day and age for people to hear. We get complacent about how much time we spend in front of screens. It’s not good to do that so much.
I love that low energy witchcraft video! Don’t sweat it. It helped me alot!
The sweet treat strategy is amazing😂 I love you even more. Thank you for all the tips❤
I'm sorry you had to go through that. Honestly, I don't see the point on leaving bad comments or giving so much hate because you didn't like someone's video... just skip the video and let them be. But I am glad you keep posting videos for us to enjoy and to learn ❤.
Sometimes I feel that tiredness or more frequently burnout lead me to procrastination and it's hard to get out of it so I'm taking note ☺
I really appreciated this video. I’ve experienced a lot of guilt not practicing my witchcraft as regularly as I normally do, which is due to painful joint issues lately.
Ivy!!!! I really liked that Low Energy Witchcraft vid!! You gave me lots of great ideas....AND reinforced that it's okay to get tired. We just take care of ourselves a little better during those times😊 You keep doing you and DO NOT be ashamed of former versions of yourself!! ❤ We're all growing and changing🎉 And your former versions are just as talented and relevant as your current one😊
Thank you! ❤️❤️🫶🙏
I would also add revisit your "why?" - "why do/did you want this practice?", "why is it important to you?", etc. By revisiting the "why?," you may discover that the reasons behind your oractice has evolved.
The pace of your videos are perfect. You get to the point whilst also explaining things very clearly. Thank you for all the efforts you put into your videos. It’s truly appreciated.
The part about letting yourself get bored is SO true!! Some of my most creative or happy ideas come while I'm bored.
oh my god I can’t even begin to express how much I needed this video! bless you, Ivy! 🖤
I always get more spiritual in the sleepier months of september through march, then it falls off during the summer. I love habit stacking, i didn't know that was a term, but i already do this with mundane habits. I'm gonna have to mindfully implement some of these for my practice! Always such a treat to listen to you speak and share advice.
Wow, great video. I did slow it down and it sounds like normal speed , lol!! Thanks for the suggestion!
recently I have felt so distant from witchcraft to the point where like I feel as if I’m not even a witch. Whenever I’ve tried any “magic” based thing it never feels like anything has happened I don’t know if it’s something wrong with me or maybe my ADHD has something to do with messing up my spells etc. I don’t really practice as I’m unable to most of the time and I just feel as if I’m not even able to spellcast, I don’t know if that makes any sense (I’m currently watching the video as I write this so idk if you answer my issue, if u could give any advice I would appreciate it xx) ❤ (also been a sub since u were around 20k so happy for your growth)
Thank you for being here for so long! ❤️❤️ So the advice in the video is more geared towards being tired, struggling with laziness, etc. But the reasoning behind why magick doesn't work is vast and might be beyond what I can answer in a comment. There are so many reasons why you could be experiencing this and I have thought about making a "troubleshooting" video for why your spells might not be working. I'll bump that up higher on the list and have the channel members vote on it! 🥰 I hope the rest of the video helps inspire you to get out of a funk though. It can be tough! I think Jason Miller has a book called "The Elements of Spellcrafting" that might be helpful! ❤️
@@IvyTheOccultist thank you so much, honestly when I first saw ur videos I never understood anything so fast in my life ur videos are so helpful And you actually are so good at explaining thanks x ❤️❤️
@@Jakeyuhyuh101thank you; that means a lot! 🙏❤️🫶 Hope you have a beautiful day!
@@IvyTheOccultist thank you! you too ❤️
Thank you for leaving your video up. I’m glad I found your channel.
This is such an important video. You executed this topic perfectly.
I have severe ADHD. It’s hard to focus on anything. Medication and therapy help but my ADHD absolutely gets in the way with my practice. This video is helpful. Thank you
I'm with you there. We got this
A+ video as far as I'm concerned! Thank you, Ivy! I'll probably be coming back to this one every once in a while ;)
The part when you daid to let those thoughts pass (in terms of guilt) spoke so much to me. I struggle with what a lot. I'll try and incorporate that into my daily analysis.
Hello !!! 😀 your videos are very inspiring and i love them! ❤❤❤ especially the low energy witchy activities helped tremendously last month! 🙏😀😀
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Video, thank you! ❤
I need this video !!! I’m actually about to make an article about this and I’ll most definitely quote some of your information and tag your content
Right at the end was the metaphorical splash of cold water to the face i needed, personally - use magic to help! Duh😅 I'm going to do the wheel of life exercise too though, I'm definitely tired and overwrought, not just lazy or avoidant.
I agree with so much of this video. We didn’t evolve trying to take on the woes of the entire world, our psyche can’t take it. I can’t watch the news anymore because it’s so distressing and depressing and I already suffer with depression. I’m getting some more energy back slowly and focusing more on my spiritual growth and journey and less on work and the rest of the planet. I wish I could fix all the world’s problems but I can’t so I try to do what I can in my area and relieve myself of the responsibility of the rest of it. 🌍 Great video, you are one of my favourite occultists and any backlash you get is from people who are closed minded and like to stay ignorant of the differences that make our species unique and interesting. ❤
I didn’t have a problem with the speed of your speech at all. 😊
@06:21 = especially useful for those that have 'low energy' - or on a 'stationary' track.
I honestly don't mind the speed of your voice, it's never bothered me. But I love the video! ❤
This. Was. What. I. Needed! Also, I'm not even a native English speaker, and you sounded fine to me at least (your speed of voice). Thanks for your advice, you've got a new subscriber :D
Thank you so much! 🥰❤️
I always love your videos! And this topic came at just the right time 💙
@03:30 = into the video, The Double Pie Visual Chart - really does seem HELPFUL...
My procrastination is being overwhelmed with what needs to be done...book shelf over stacked and things sticking out? looking at it trying to figure where to start, anxiety starts, then go sits down just to relax from the anxiety and then feeling that guilt that I have failed in cleaning my home☺ that coven video was a good video -- lots of very good information for everyone😊 Perfect talking speed (lots of videos I have to speed up 😅) Thank you for sharing
I literally was having this discussion with my spouse this morning: I found myself burnout multiple times since the beginning of the year and have been so upset because as a new year's resolution I just wanted to meditate 10 minutes a day every day. We are half the year in and I've maybe done it one month combined and why!!!??? Why is it so hard to just follow 😔😭
It's hard to make yourself do one more "chore" when you're burnt out! It makes complete sense. With all the support you have been providing to Palestine, it is also emotionally exhausting. You have given so much, friend. Maybe this year is the year to just rest when you can! None of us expected to be this emotionally exhausted from current world affairs.
@@IvyTheOccultistThank you Ivy 🫂🖤 it's hard to remember at times cause I feel like I never do enough if anything but you're very right, I've been stretching myself a bit thin 😓
Short version: Everyone should do whatever fits best to your needs! :D I like to be free in what i do, i meditate when i,m in nature on bare feet between the cows :) They are so sweet. I enjoy watching bumblebees being busy and i love to suckup the beautiful weather energy. Thanks for the video Ivy
Bravo! Such a helpful video!
I have been enjoying less phone time/scrolling time and what do you know, I'm finding myself bypassing the writer's block that's been plaguing me! This is good advice for life, IMHO. Lovely seeing you in my feed today, Ivy (while I allow myself a lunch scrolling break lol).
Hurray for lunch scrolling breaks! 😂😂 I'm glad the video was helpful and congrats on working through the dreaded writers block!
Great video!! TY😊
❤️🙏
Thankyou so much for this video. So informative. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Question here: what happens when your practice fails you or lets you down… how do you carry on?
Thank you Ivy, you are the best🥹
Thank you; that is so kind!! ❤️
I've heard you on crooked ways podcast and loved it. New subscriber here :)
Well hello!! Love Austin and Marshall. Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs! 🥰
I really needed this
Girl….how did u know I needed this !!???
😂🫶
These are great suggestions! I like your look.❤
Thank you!! Glad you liked the video! 🥰
This helped me so much thanks!
Thank you so much- I have been struggling with this for some time. This gets me motivated!!!
❤️🫶
I love watching your videos so much! You have great insight and great tips, you feel like a friend ;)
I needed this
Watching at 2x the speed is ok for me ❤
I think that once before you talked about how fast you talk, I'm used to that coming from Brooklyn. You just have a lot to say, lol. Thanks for the great advice. I call myself a lazy pagan. I had a morning practice for about a year recently, but it felt too forced after awhile. So I stopped. Now that summer is coming I might go back to do something again. I've never been one to do spells, or pick tarot cards even though tarot is a big part of my life. And its okay. I"m still pagan.
Id procrastination for sure. I put myself last and off all too often.
Yes I do feel alone and because I also Catholic, it’s even harder. Online is the only place I found a community.
I just feel so lazy, directionless and have no idea what to do. Sigh
For me it would means to turn off the video games and stop watching the same tv show over and over again. Which is not a bad thing.
Wonderful suggestions. Thank you so much!!!!!
No! Can’t you just disable the comments instead of privating the video? I love your coven video
Also, you keep coming out with videos perfectly as I need them. This one, the weight loss one, all right on point with where I keep getting to in my own life, so thank you for that haha 😊
Unfortunately, the Christians would find my channel through that video and then start commenting on all my other videos. So I couldn't just disable comments as it was attracting the wrong kind of people to my space 😫 this is why we can't have nice things...
@@IvyTheOccultistI don’t know if this is something that you could do or not, but could you just change the title of the video? Kind of like a IYKYK thing?
@@IvyTheOccultistoh that sucks. I’m sorry that’s the case. Well I’m glad you still have up what you do, thank you for your hard work and efforts! (And thank you for the response 😊)
This literally has been plaguing me. I feel so so tired or I know I'm procrastinating and having a hard time getting myself going, and I feel so guilty for not keeping up with my practice.
❤ Needed this, thank you!
You are a doll,ivy! Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️
@08:24 = Allow oneself to experience 'Boredom'.
My Art Illustrations a decade back - make me want to Cringe on Facebook - but Facebook felt otherwise.
@10:54 = When 'Brain-Fog' Happens, and don't really know where to turn at the moment.
how did you know exactly what video i needed today
Todays look was 🔥🤍🧡
For me it’s the care for my special needs son. I am working towards empowering him to allow me a little more independence.
Haha as soon as I clicked my first instinct was to lower the speed, then the disclaimer came 😂
😂😂 perfect!
I’m kind of a lazy witch but not to the point that I won’t do anything. I just like easy plus I’ve been trying to understand how to just use what I have. I’m also chronically ill so the constant tiredness is really heavy and then I’m also forgetful and get side tracked easily lol I love messing around with things. I’m also autistic and adhd so I do struggle with executive function so it’s been a complicated journey for me. I gave up on meditation cuz I can’t visualize or at least do it on command cuz I’ve accidentally done it when trying to fall asleep. Just figuring out what works for my nuerodivergent brain has been a nightmare lol so sorry u had to hide some vids cuz of haters. I use to compare myself to other ppl
Yaaay....i use lily's milk chocate chips after doing art stuff around my room 😅
Put the coven video back up & turn off the comments 😊
*Insert "It's like a reward" audio here* 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
For the past 2ish months I have been feeling differently and I am unsure why, I have tried to think of why. I haven't gone live on here or IG to do readings as I used to..I've done it maybe 2 or 3 times? I recently started a new medicine which I'm hoping it'll help me but so far it hasn't which I know that most medicines do take some time to work. I'm hoping it starts working sooner rather than later.
I hope it starts working for you soon as well! I just blame my problems on the planets. 😂 And yes... I can hear that "reward" audio clearly!!!
@@IvyTheOccultist Thank you. LOL
Really random question, but is listening to music and focusing on your emotions and thinking about how you truly feel meditation?
How do I decide what to work on? o.o it can get overwhelmingly much...
I am doing 5 day's in a week practice of witchcraft it's OK please tell me
Also, as someone who's from a catholic family, I feel so sad that you got negativity from people who follow Jesus' teachings but are not Christlike at all... I feel so bad and I strongly dislike when Christians go after other spiritualities they don't even understand.... Just wanted to say that. Personally, my family is very supportive of my occultist practice. It's sad that it's not always a reality for pagans, witches, and other similar spiritualities.
I appreciate that! I do have Christian friends who understand my practice and it's unfortunate when people don't take the time to understand. I wasn't bothered too much by the criticism, I just didn't want to attract more negativity to my channel. It's okay, truly! ❤️
✨️Thankyou 🫶✨️
i love your talking speed 😂
i’m also really, reeaallly addicted to sugar 🥲
also, i agree, modern culture (?) really is way too stimulating and it feels like tech advancements have outpaced us? i might be addicted to my phone/ps5. like i can’t stop myself even though my eyes are straining 😩 i need a tech detox, but it’s difficult because it’s so easy to “interact” or stay up to date with my hobbies through youtube and reddit
i won’t ask you to remake the coven video, but do you have any tips you can share in the comments on how to start a coven? i feel like if i had more people to talk to, a community, i wouldn’t be so addicted to technology and would get more done… but im actually really shy and don’t know where to start 🥲
Yes to all of that! So for the coven stuff, we have had the best luck with Facebook groups. Find a witchcraft group and make a post! ❤️ We would make posts asking if there's anyone interested in joining a coven and then we would have applicants go through an interview process so that we could assess energy and make sure everyone felt good about being together. But you don't have to go as hardcore as we did with an interview and initiation process. Simply just making a post asking if there's a coven out there looking for another member or if there's anyone interested in starting a circle with you! ☺️
