@@lynnsmith3995 Meee Too🤩!!! Thanks Ivy!
I’ve been severely depressed for about 15 years or more and I’ve been practicing Magic for the past 5 years about and this past year I really think that I’ve been reaping the benefits because for the first time in my life for about the past 6-8 months I haven’t been at all not one bit it’s been so weird but I’m grateful 🥹
@@jsinmcc92I totally feel ya!!!
I still have PTSD, ADHD, & therefore resulting depression but I can tell you that my craft has pulled me by my bootstraps out of the mire so often that I will continue to expand my mind and my horizons with it🤗💜🖤💫
Huh. That actually makes a lot of sense. In my life, I have had a lot of brain damage due to my chemotherapy, radiation treatments, and loss of oxygen due to heart failure. However, as I have been reading and reclaiming my witchcraft practice I do feel as if my brain function is improving. For example, I did a ritual with my friend the other week and when I cast the circle, I felt like something was missing. I hadn’t tried to cast a circle or lead a ritual since 2015. I figured out that I missed a lot of steps 😂 But once I realized what I did and didn’t do correctly, I was able to write a better way to cast a circle than I ever had. I did not know that new neurons could grow in our brain as we aged. I thought that in actuality we lost more neurons as we aged. Obviously, my thinking was not true. This is why I love your channel! You make me think about new and different things! I think I’ll go back to Jason Miller’s Protection and Reversal Magic and try at least one thing. Than, you for this video! 🌞🌞🌞
You are actually correct, there! We do lose neurons as we age and we definitely don't grow neurons as fast as we did when we were younger. But we can choose to speed up the growing process if we want to! Neurogenesis is so cool. You can also grow new neurons with physical exercise, intermittent fasting, and a couple other ways too. I'm so sorry you've had to go through so much in your life. You are definitely a tough human! ❤️
Yes you can regrow the brain cells with aerobics or I believe step exercises.
Look into Lucid Dreaming. There's misconceptions about it. It's simply the first layer of perception as you begin the process of stepping out of your body. It happens in NDE (near death experiences) when people see and interact with the world as their subconscious emotions expect it to be after death. It's also what people interact with "drunkenly" while tripping on hallucinogenic substances. In a Lucid Dream you see it clearly and can proactively take steps to control your experiences and interactions. After practicing Lucid Dreaming and facing your fears, you arrive at the next step within the process of a controlled true OBE (out of body experience aka astral projection). In this step you meet yourself - the subconscious architect of your dreams. This is a limited version of your higher spiritual mind. You can use its power, its.. energy to focus your human bodily functions towards completion of a particular task - like healing very quickly, for example, or for neurogenesis and growing new brain cells and neurons. It controls your bodily functions on a subconscious level, including your lymphatic system which has the interstitial nervous system's fluid within its control. This is what transfers spiritual energy into and throughout your body.
There's a second option. There are exercises within Nei Qi Gong taught by by Jiaoshi Andrea which can help you to learn how to control these processes without Lucid Dreaming. He is a chaos magick practitioner, but he is still unware of the fact that he is. We all have our own unique path, and that's as it should be. He cares not about his ego. He only cares about practical results, and he won't train someone who thinks they are god - too much ego. I recommend looking at qi demonstrations by Jiaoshi's teacher Shifu Zhou if you have concerns about the practical legitimacy of the training. His students learn at their own pace to achieve results, not just some silly pie in the sky nonsense. Many "masters" were previously sworn to secrecy and only revealed a portion of the information held by secretive Chinese Mystery Schools which focused on healing and medicine. Jiaoshi has been given special permission to teach westerners, but you'll have to meet him eventually at a seminar or arrange an in-person meeting somewhere to get permission to receive the final instruction of the practice and be fully initiated. Nevertheless, you can achieve practical results before you get to that point, and it takes months for most people - not a lifetime. I'd liken the exercises to tai chi. It's mostly a breathing and meditative practice that conditions your body into alignment to allow your chi/qi/ki/vril/spiritual-energy to be used intuitively, like muscle memory.
Yessssss this is what I’m talking about! More chaos magick!
Oh, and, you don’t need makeup.
And…you have goddess hair.
THANK YOU lovely! I'll take that goddess hair compliment 😂😂
While I don't really have much experience specifically with chaos magic, as I am much more of an eclectic witch (currently anyway), I have had a bit of education on neuroplasticity and so what you're describing, these overlapping worlds, makes perfect sense. Especially considering, if I'm understanding correctly, that the various viewpoints and practices within chaos magic are so vastly different, oppositional even, and it's really the "error" message that happens in our brain when we're trying something new and we're not good at it, that creates the most plasticity. Exposure to new concepts, making lots of mistakes, etc.. forces our brain to get nimble and being unfamiliar with something becomes the familiarity. I'm not a big fan of being shitty at something but I absolutely recognize tenacity to move past that point, and to practice and continue trying new things has a immeasurable benefits in so many facets of life. Question-does chaos magic mess with your intuition at all? If you're making yourself believe something that does not inherently feel correct (at first), i'm not sure I understand how it doesn't short-circuit your intuition. Or does it just make it that much deeper and that's part of the practice? Hopefully this made at least a little bit of sense 😂
I love what you said about neuroplasticity! Hmm... To answer your question, I really had to think about this for a while. Reflecting on my practice, I really do let my intuition guide me with whatever I do. And I actually find chaos magick to work well with an intuitive-based practice because it's about doing what works best for the magical practitioner and bending the rules in our favor. My intuition guides everything I do! Although, I will say... When I am paradigm shifting into something that feels uncomfortable for me, I acknowledge that its going to feel uncomfortable for a short period of time. And during that phase of discomfort, I am able to "fake it until I make it." I suppose that could interfere with someone's intuition but I don't find that it really affects me that much. Maybe I'm just so used to discomfort now that it doesn't phase me 😂 I need to think about this for a while longer!
Totally agree - this absolutely sounded like neuroplasticity as I was listening, too..
@@IvyTheOccultist So interesting to Me how I similarly operate My Chaos~Crafting. I think a ton of this has to do with my healing from extreme trauma. I'm finally Learning to Listen to My Inner Voice, to Trust in Myself, & My Intuition. This process feels a lot like walking blindly barefoot through complete darkness alone. With only myself to guide Me, I'm trusting the tips of my toes to illuminate my mind's eye to get Me where I need to BE. Faking it till I Make it often Works🤗💜🖤💫
In my honest opinion, you're the most relatable practioner I watch on this platform. I find it incredibly easy to connect with your content, it's very true to life. Like you're just letting us in on what you're actually doing instead of just doing things to perform. Thanks for that, it really helps me understand & actually apply things into my personal practice. ❤
🥹❤️ Thank you so much for this. I appreciate your kind words!
My IQ was 58 as a child meaning I had some mental retardation and considerable learning disabilities. Struggled all my life with school, having to take tutoring throughout school and also in the university.
Took test again at 26 got 60. At 31 tested again got 59. Took IQ test again last week at 40 years old and got 120 which is considered above average or intelligent and bright individual. I felt a change in my brain in a way like you. I exposed myself to academics and philosophy which pushes the use of reflection, logic, analysis of complex systems and ideas and different view points or viewing the same thing through different lenses. At this time I had also made a spell using quantum magic, mixed with some other things and the activation of a Solomon seal to acquire understanding which is the essence of learning. Afterwards I took action. I exposed myself to hardcore academics. It took 3 years of not understanding most of what I was reading or watching. At 36 I felt a change in processing speed and understanding. Could study complex things and understand most of it. I took deep into philosophy and ideas and Jungian psychoanalysis into practice. I went through a few massive existential crisis that transformed me. I also took Amanita Muscaria to speed Neuro connections and neurogenesis which set my brain on steroids. I researched deeply about the sacred mushroom Amanita as I also did researching the science of learning from a neuroscience perspective. The Father of AI Geoffrey Hiton created AI through trying to lear how the brain learns🌼
That is incredible!! Good for you! 👏👏
statistics show the IQ does not vary with age. so what you achieved proofs you do need to work for it. you did a great job. keep at it. you can get higher if you want. I am sure of that.
This is simply amazing. You've put into words something I've felt at my core ever since I was a child. I used to get into arguments with my mother at a very young age because I questioned everyone and everything, including her religious and spiritual practices. I always found things that were contradictory intriguing and strive to understand the differences and similarities. I feel there is soooo much we can learn from every avenue and walk of life. And while I wouldn't have called it chaos magick at the time, as I wasn't using it for an intended working but rather pure curiosity and some visceral drive to learn, I've done this my whole life. The paradigm shifting and jumping. Shape-shifting in particular always fascinated me. Now that I am a practitioner of various forms of magick, it only felt natural to explore everything. Recently, I was diagnosed with ADHD, so I attributed a lot of it to that. I'm not sure about the neuroscience of that possible connection, just worth mentioning as this is a common theme I've noticed in that community. And I did reach a point as a teenager where I realized I learned *how* to learn and how I learn the best way for me. It was a powerful moment and since then have experienced what you described, that comfort in unfamiliarity and increase in creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. I just found it incredible that you were able to name something that's always been there for me but could never really put a finger on! Thank you! 😄
Ahhh, that's wonderful!! I am so happy you can resonate with this! ❤️
It sounds to me that what you are talking about is unbidled creativity coupled with awakening. Magick is a path of self discovery and leveraging creativity, visualization, and trance to achieve achemy within (theurgy) and without (thaumaturgy).
I have noticed that my magickal practice has blossomed over the last 3 months or so. I can visualize so much better, and I have achieved great results. I never get bored with the formulae because I can use my minds eyes to plumb anything and anywhere I can imagine.
I found your channel a couple of days ago and I've devoured your content, I think you should have much more recognition and exposure, the way you present and condense the topics is excellent, you have my respect and admiration.
And yes, I have noticed that when one is actively immersed in a magical practice that requires creativity, adaptability and inventiveness something happens in our brain and mental plasticity becomes more evident.
Thank you so much for such a kind comment! 🖤 I am so glad you can relate to this topic
I’ve noticed that for the last several years I have been having a difficult time expressing my thoughts (and also completely losing my train of thought) when having a conversation with someone. The example you gave about a “sedentary” lifestyle really hit the nail on the head for me. I’ve always been pretty shy and introverted, but I would try and force myself into jobs where I had to interact with people all day (I.e retail). I was also in school full time so I was constantly reading, learning and interacting. Over the last several years my life has taken a total turn- it’s become more sedentary in the sense that I work from home, i have a very “autopilot “ job, and Im in a new city where I don’t know many people. I feel like I’ve gotten… dumb?? 😅 I’ve been trying to read more, and continue to learn and interact b/c that is definitely one of the ways we keep our brains happy and nourished.
Hahahaha I can definitely relate to the sedentary lifestyle making us feel "dumb" 😂 That's great you're trying to read more!
Yes. In one of your previous videos you talked about endless ideas . I too am afflicted with endless ideas and analysis paralysis of them. I will execute three or more projects simultaneously and 12 other things in my life then hit a block then shift again. I used to think this was a personality trait due to numerology and / or astrology. Then I noticed that the more abstract I became with my astral work and the spirit work in general , the quicker it was to shift out of “ blocks” which weren’t in my ideas just stagnancy in flow cause…. I was adding my new ideas on to the running ones and constantly tweaking and adjusting .
Mental flexibility in creativity is in my opinion an integral tread if not an eventual result in chaos magik period.
So yeah , I get it I’ve felt it and I think your personal gnosis is pretty spot on . There is a theory that the oversoul divides itself into a wealth of perspectives ( souls) to expand its experiences and know itself. If we are the divine within and without then I guess on a microcosmic level we do the same . No? Why not?
Love, love, LOVE this! Thank you for sharing your insight on the subject! ❤️❤️
I love all the scientific stuff. As a med student, this is how it goes, as far as I know: Neurogenesis is a thing, however the ratio at which it occurs doesn't compensate the amount of lost neurons in general, far less dedicate to creating new pathways. So what's the difference between having an active mind and doing mental exercise and be braindead in front of the TV all day? We all know that's real bad for you. See, new neurons aren't created that often, what you're doing is really about 'exercising' your existent ones. So to make this short I'll go straight to the point, neurons can be covered by myelin, which basicvally speeds up significantly the transmission of impulses. When a neuron isn't often stimulated, it doesn't develop a myelin layer, however, when a pathway is often used it develops myelin, basically making it faster and more efficient. So, what we're doing when exercising the mind is not really generating more neurons, but rather making the ones we have more agile and efficient, and at that yup, boy do I think chaos magic is one of the things that breaks my mind (in a good way tho) the most lol🤪
I love this. Thank you so much for adding your insight!!
I'd love to see you do some more cutting edge chaos magick videos doing the new stuff like group rituals and paradigm shifts using avatars in Virtual reality (Vrchat).
That's a great idea! The next time I do something weird, I'll try my best to film it 😂
I love that you’re just going with your gut
I think you really might be on to something here. I was diagnosed w/ MS in 2022, but since my spiritual awakening under a year ago, I've already had profound & magical changes in my abstraction, creativity, artistic abilities, & even physical coordination. I don't identify as a Chaos Magician, but have always sort of recognized a very similar flavor to the sort of eclectic & intuitive-perennialist take on Classical pagan mysticism that I towards. That said, I am usually honored to perform a spiritual ritual from almost any tradition, as long as it's done w/ positive intentions. Instead of "shifting" my perspective, necessarily, I'm just constantly trying to expand it enough to be able to immediately recognize how a differing-often seemingly opposing-metaphysical &/or spiritual tradition, can always be interpreted in a way that fits right into my overall worldview. Good video.
Okay, so I was never stupid as kid, just slow to catch on. Somewhere in my mid teenage years I found out about all kinds of mysticism, spiritual practices, religious, everything esoteric, and it fascinated me. That lead me to psychology and philosophy, and I kept going down rabbit holes. It was like the more I opened up and let my imagination run wild and embrace things to try to get a new perspective, the easier it was for me to learn. I started looking at things from so many different angles. Things I learned out of pure curiosity that I thought would have no value, I find coming back to me in useful ways in my 30’s. I’m now able to either teach myself skills or learn very easily. Once I started adopting different practices into my life I noticed more changes. I never actually believed in anything occult or witchcraft related, yet found myself and still find myself doing all of this stuff. Have an awesome alter that I’m still adding to, all kinds of tools, charms, stones, talismans…Idk it’s like here in 3d mundane life it has zero effect directly, but it’s like I believe it on a subconscious spiritual level and tapping into that energy or whatever gives me a certain clarity to help navigate through this physical realm. Its a contradiction in a way. I believe in ghosts and the paranormal and stuff, I’ve had weird experiences. I known there are layers to reality, but idk how they’re connected and I do nothing but research and educate myself in hopes I’ll learn more. I dont think I’ll ever actually have the answer, but the more I learn, the more clear every layer of reality becomes. Idk if any of that makes sense. I just came out about my beliefs to my wife (hence the alter building/adding). She accepts and embraces it and is trying to learn. I never actually realized how far I’ve come on this journey until I actually tried explaining things to another person for the first time. I dont even know where to begin. She’s trying, she doesn’t get it all , but she sees how passionate I am about this and how it positively effects my life and is encouraging me to keep diving head first into it. I started doing it openly now and I finally understand a lot of what I’ve been doing is chaos magic. I always just called it being into the occult and spiritualism and avoiding organized religions of Any kind as I grew up Catholic and part of the church. If it was anything but their brand of catholicism, it must be the devil. In think that’s what pushed me down this route. Turns out the “devil/satan” stuff I was warned about was far more eye opening and open minded. Like I sleep with a magic wand. Do I believe it actually does anything? No. But if I put myself in the right mindset it does, and who can realistically prove me wrong? The only way to fond out is by doing.
I began lucid dreaming as a child.
I am an artist and basically YOU describing your practice, trance, channel is open.
I've been talking, joking about shape shifting forever with multiple magickal cultural and personal references and a wink.
Your blowing my mind.
I wrote a few Nuerogensis essays on FB last year.
Mind blown.
Every is an opportunity to create change, learn something new and expand🎉
Thank you❤
You are awesome!
I think I'd like to add to your thinking a little, because when we're talking neurons, it's not just about the number of new cells, but about axon/dendrite connections. When we have new thoughts, we create new connections, and with more complex connectivity, our brains become more efficient. At least that's how i think of it!
I love this. Thank you so much for adding your wisdom to the conversation!
I loved this !! Thank you. I am learning from you about Chaos Magick and I realize more than ever that it's totally for me. Very excited to practice this.
A very serendipitous video for me! I’ve been thinking about Neurogenesis as the birth of a mental illness, but I love this perspective!!
Really happy for you. Sounds like you’re well on your path to becoming a self made genius. Welcome to the club🖤
That gives me a lot of hope. Having had a set of migraine attacks that took down my processing, (honestly, I felt dumber and even reading was difficult! When I love to read!), I need ways to push that internal growth again. Being an avid reader, I started with comics, to kids books to novellas, and now I can get a novel done if engaging enough. But this is exciting to see something else might be helpful too. Will try putting the paradigm shifting into practice and see what happens.
Try intermittent fasting or prolonged fasting up to 72 hours. Do the research I would also say try the carnivore diet again do the research
Yes. Absolutely magic practices our nervous system and contributes to neurogenesis.
yes. it was like everything made sense suddenly. My mind felt like the expanding brain meme. chaos magick to me means to finally realize: I do not need to understand the world on a micro level, because chaos is the micro level, so all I can ever hope to see in the macro level. it clicked. but I spend most of my days learning new skills. I am a learning machine. I game a lot, which forces me to learn, I go to university, I watch videos on intelectual topics like history and philosophy and now occultism. and I have done this most of my life. I am 31 and I never stopped expanding my brain as much as I could.
learning about chaos magick put my brain into hypermode.
Thank you for making this video and sharing. I am very new to the concept of Chaos Magick but your channel has taught me a lot. This video has made me want to push myself more to learn new things as you have and explore chaos magick further. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and craft.
Ah, that seriously makes me so happy you are inspired to try new things!!
Yeah I can relate with that eureca moments. After that I feel like evolved, wiser, grown, like more conscious, and I think it's very possible that is neurogenesis. Very interesting idea, thanks for sharing!
I'm not a chaos magician, but I completely relate to what you're saying. I have always been super interested in witchcraft, but I didn't start practicing until three years ago. At the same time, I've always been very logical in my thinking, very scientific. I'm very much a person two type, I love learning and thinking and have always been super creative in my approach to problem solving, too. I also always dismissed my sensory experiences of things because they weren't scientifically verifiable. When I started to practice witchcraft, learning was easy but recently I've felt myself like... Kind of like you described, like my brain was on fire with creativity, ideas and solutions. Practicing witchcraft and trusting my sensory experiences has led me to believe in things I would have dismissed previously, and it feels like the more I trust my experiences along with my ability to like learn, or understand... idk, the more personal gnosis I experience, the more that I feel like my cerebral way of being is expanding.. if that makes any kind of sense. I don't think i'm doing a great job with my wording here, but I definitely identify with what you're saying. And i'm so glad you decided to do a video on this topic because it is incredibly cool and interesting.
Yes!! Loved hearing your thoughts on this. Thank you for sharing!
That is awesome! So in a way we could say that practicing Chaos Magic is like a EEG Neurofeedback therapy but without the machine? Thank you for sharing, you are an inspiration!! 🧡
I am so glad I stumbled across your channel tonight. I think I've always practiced a form of chaos magic, though I've never identified it as such... and you are 100% on it about learning how to learn... that is totally a thing, and I do that, too. Now... down the rabbit hole I go, with a name for what I do and have done for two decades... so, again... thank you.
Ahhhh, this totally made my day!! Thank you! Welcome to the chaos family!
This is a 💎. I was able to follow along and comprehend your thesis. Thank you! ❤
I am so glad this makes sense. Thank you! ❤️
Great little video, Ivy! Your excitement is contagious. I have had such a similar experience with Chaos Magick, but I never knew how to verbalize it. I felt what you were describing when I first threw myself into occult study and practice. After some time I fell out of regular practice and sorta gave up on my magickal pursuits. Later down the line I decided to challenge myself by learning something I thought I could never ever understand, basic Electronics and circuit design. I went full stream into it and came a long way past my goals. During that time I felt this same feeling I had in my brain that I did with chaos magick. At the time it was just a fleeting thought but watching this brought back a flood of memories and general excitement. I think you are spot on about neurogensis! I've tried to describe it before and gotten funny looks. So its just great to hear your story and feel some validation. :)
This is a really good channel Blessed be sister , im really finding use and enjoyment in your content . Its well deserving of many likes .
Thank you! 🙏
Oooh. So glad you made this video! I can very much relate. Since July of last year, I started attending classes for ascension as well as witchcraft and the occcult locally. Ever since, my vibration is definitely higher. I have always been extremely creative, when my gears in my brain start going, they don’t stop. And I come up with brilliant ideas. (Not trying to toot my own horn, just expressing what I experience.) this has amplified since learning at those classes. This makes a lot of sense.
Thank you for this video Ivy🙏🏻☺️
It just had such an amazing vibe that really got to me ❤
And I can definitely relate to what you are saying, about the brain becoming more efficient. I just thought it was my magick in general doing that but I think you are correct about chaos magick having a particularly uniqueness to it in this regard.
I would love to see a video where you explain your own approach to paradigm jumping. It is so interesting.
Thank you so much! A video on how I personally paradigm jump is an interesting thought... I'll have to see if I can put something like that into words. Thank you for the video topic idea! ❤️
I’m happy because I found you! I’m grateful . Ty for information 🙏👍🌷
I have definitely felt this since I started my practice but I could not articulate the experience nearly as well as this video. That really helped formulate it into a viable and practical way. Thank you
This is so interesting! I will probably research this more.
This is such a fascinating conversation to have, and you've given me a lot to mull on! One point I did want to make right off, though - I think there is probably more established science in what you were saying than you think. Someone below mentioned neuroplasticity, which is very much along the lines of how you described your experiences and thought processes. Awesome stuff, Ivy!
Yes!! Neuroplasticity falls right in line with this for sure! ❤️
I loved this one! And, yes, it happens to me as well to get caught in the very middle of a chaos mind twister in the dead of night
More so lately yes.
Been doing a wild version for my whole life, and started getting better at as I found the concept Chaos Magic.
Getting new perspectives reinforces and teaches more
Yes i feel the change, but i feel it's getting stronger and it is.
With Me, i am getting the full Scope of Magic.
Yes! I love it, so interesting. Great ideas and awesome vid 🔮🌜🧿🖤
Your analogy about the sweater and nerve growth as a result is exceptional. New dexterity hand/eye coordination? New nerves. Safe space to think summons brainstorms? New nerves. AND new pathways for the nerves to explore. Excellent intuitional upload, Ivy.
I'm so glad the sweater analogy resonated! I was sleep deprived when I recorded this 😂
I'm not a straight up chaos magician, but am incorporating it into my practice, but I do experience this where I pick up a book on something I have never read about it and it just sort of activates like i have known it all along. Its hard to explain, but its along those lines. Or I have those Matrix-like downloads and am like woah I know kung fu lol
Haha yes it's like mental kung fu!! 😂👏
This is amazing ❤
i almost think my embracing of spirituality without dogmatism and such helped with healing from cptsd but i had religious trauma so it could have just been that healing. either way, i still dont have the same amount of energy as other people but my mind feels so much less like its running through molasses.
Very Well done! And interesting..👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾 And I think more than just you are going through this change. The people with open minds & Hearts are experiencing the same.. But on the other side the people that haven't opened their inner self are feeling and expressing Fear and panic towards the world. And I think This is the struggle of our age! The question is who will win and how that will effect the time we live in.. Keep working and we'll work with you..🖖🏾👍🏾💕
Thank you so much. I couldn't agree more with what you said!
Ivy your videos literally make me go Super Saiyan when I see that new video alert.
Seriously tho, you're now crowned Hermoine Corpus with that mane!
💜
Hahaha thanks friend! Hermione is my hero 😂
I feel very motivated!!
Music to my ears!!
so I'm not a chaos magician but i do tons of workings with different energies spirits ecc and since that i think that my brain is more elastic and sharper i get used to new things even faster now i can think in more different ways if that makes sense i was like that before the starting of my practice but i think that witchcraft spirit work and spirituality helped me improve and thrive in many aspects of my life
PS we think the exact same way we're so similar and i relate so much to you
Ain't creativity great?
Are you in love Miss Ivy?..that's when I've found myself most creative. Surprising myself with discoveries! Hm, Chaos Love Magick🎉🗝🦋
Btw, that magic mind juice is quite good...the taste wasn't at first, then I started craving it. I wish I could afford a constant supply!
Oh I'm so glad you tried the brain juice! Lol. And that's interesting... I've always wondered how love and pain affects people's magical practices differently. For me, my pain fuels my creativity. When I'm in love, I'm just lazy 😂😂
@@IvyTheOccultist 😹 very interesting indeed! Yeah, I can relate to that healthy lazy feeling associated with complete comfort and safety. I guess for me, it’s a ‘get everything in order he might be coming over’ thing...as a single romantic witch. If he was already here, I’d be relaxing too! 🌸🌻

Hi ivy a next inspirational video that of the right time .
I've "fallen" completely for everything witchcraft/magic probably since 2016 . I hit an all time low in my life and being born and raised Catholic after exhausting everything else I turned to the church when I quickly went NO! I'm not religious I have strong beliefs but am spiritual not a " God fearing" christian. It was then I started to read, research, Listen to podcasts etc on magic. I believe deeply within my core this is for me! This is what I'm meant to be doing to fill the emptiness I was feeling. I didn't feel alone anymore, I was rejuvenated , I loved meditating and just recently have been able to have MANY lucid dreams which are so cool!! Getting off topic....lol .....I found I was getting confused as time went on however as so many practicioners have different views, opinions etc. But I found what and who resonates with me and my beliefs and you're it Ivy! So thank you for helping me on this journey. Your videos are SO bang on. I feel I'm always saying to myself YES,! ME TOO! YOURE RIGHT!
Keep doing what you are doing. You were meant to.
Wow you made me realize that I’m a natural chaos magician and maybe also a shapeshifter. Thank you for this.
Hi Ivy! I'm not a chaos magician, but I think you are on to something here. I also feel like I am that second person in your sweater example. I was taught how to crochet by my co worker, back in 2019 and within a few months I was putting out quite a few lap blankets, since then I've made different things. But my point is, I have always been slow to learn new things in the past. But, not so much now. I've had jobs where I had to learn a whole new set of skills, and I was surprised at myself as well as my new boss, how well I adapted to all my new tasks. I am currently in school, to change my career. And while I have moments of difficulty, cause I'm going about it alone, and on line. I keep moving forward and I keep pushing myself, because I know, deep down, I can achieve this goal. Thank you SO much for this video. I think you are on to something here. I think you are right in what you are saying, keep doing what you are doing...btw...maybe your drink is helping you too? Thanks again for this. Have a wonderful, magical day! By the way, I'm going to be 50 in a couple of weeks, so there!
Oh yes, the brain juice could totally be helping! And thank you so much for sharing your experience. I'm glad this resonates with you too!
Ivy, the last time I felt that way, my Dr. Put me on meds😂. But seriously, I work with Hekate and archetypes, shape-shifting is a thing. I've flown with my owl ally.
I am now 51 years old, I expected my brain to become dull compared to before but it has been opposite. From singing the hardest Janis Joplin songs to backing up a trailer… the info clicks on a cellular level and is intuitive.
Of course, I’ve been also taking supplements like, quercetin and spermicide. I believe every positive action that builds strength in our brain and body supports all others.
But it has been more lately… I need to get better at recording data but my life has been changing so much lately I’m just holding on for the ride and doing the basics, not as much time for building baselines and recording changes.
I’m happy to see you are on fire… in the best of ways.
Thank you for sharing your own perspective on this! 🙏❤️❤️
If I was a Christian, I'd call you the Devil's Advocate for playing this shifty game, but I'm a Hermeticist so I'll just leave you with a like and a short word. Chaos founded our ancestors' gods, and emulation of their archetypes is flattering. Flattery is amusing, and that is the skill which leads to your path. We all must earn our own destiny, as the fates allow. Good luck, and don't stray too far from it.
You speak like I think and speak! Definitely gonna check out your other videos...
Super relatable, thank you for sharing fellow shapeshifter 🐸
No hair and makeup looks great on you You look gorgeous I loved this video
I think everything you said here is absolutely true.
your hair is great and you dont need make up like that
Yeah, you just described what happens to your brain when you assume different world views or learn something new. Your brain changes all the time. By assuming different world views or personas, these changes are accelerated tremendously. That‘s why - in my opinion - it‘s super important to take one step at a time in this craft and have certain measures in place to assure you don‘t fry your brain along the way. In a way, that‘s what all that protective Magick is for, when you look at it from a psychological and neurological point of view: Keeping the ‚dark Demons’ away has a lot to do with mental illnesses. Mind you, thinking about protection all the time can also cause anxiety and paranoia, which, in turn are basically these shadows creeping in. It all comes back to keeping a good balance and taking not more on than you can carry. Know your boundaries and limitations.
But yes. This neurological perspective makes for a gigantic portion of what we can scientifically explain about Magick. Well observed.
Love your videos! 🍀
Thank you😊
I've experienced this. You know how Edward Cullen from twilight is able to catch the apple when it falls? I've gotten pretty proficient at moving past the initial "oh shit and scramble" part and just start to catch things mid fall. I can organize things so meticulously it might even rival Marie condo tbh. Be careful though, my word of caution, neuro genesis can become like how some Huskies who just "understand" a little too much and end up having to be put down because the go kinda loopy. I read somewhere once "the more we understand the universe the more the brain is gonna try to destroy itself." Ona similar tangent, in Lucy movie when she starts to unlock the capacity of the brain "at 15% barriers are broken down and the brain capacity just starts to add up naturally". When you start speaking directly to your midichlorians, the very cells that make up your body, the atoms that make up those cells and smaller, watch out for organ sentience. My stomach talks sometimes. Certain regions of the brain, I've spent years reminding them that they may be of my body but I'm the one who's living this life, without me they are dead. It started as funny thoughts when I would edit youtube videos. I dont do mean now.
I’d like to know what’s happening to my brain. I collapsed to the floor, hyperventilating (as my roommate described it). To me, I was viewing history in it’s entirety and possible futures all at once. This happened the day you posted this as well
Genius 💗
Just to let you know I have absolutely no idea how many new neurons you’d produce by knitting a sweater.
Hahaha I don't think anyone knows yet 😂😂
Yes!
As usual, soooo interesting… I know…. I’m repeating myself… 😅 but one must admit, Ivy… you are a particularly skilled individual in these matters…. I was wondering if reading tarot could also serve as « shapeshifting » under certain circumstances? I know that sometimes when I immerse myself in the pictures I sense things differently afterwards for a while… but I guess this has nothing to do with what you were talking about in your video…
Oh interesting! I suppose it depends on how someone experiences reading tarot. If it feels like shape shifting to you, then it probably is! ❤️ (And thank you for the sweet comment)
I completely agree. I’ve arrived at similar conclusions (albeit worded a bit differently of course) over the years. I’ve come to emphasize that learning how to learn is the most important skill. Once you’ve mastered your own learning, you can go anywhere.
Yes! Learning how to learn is the most powerful skill!
It would be totally okay if you only talked about what you were good at cuz you are good at many things! It’s just the truth ❤
Now that you make me think about it: yes, I'm much more creative and innovative now than I was before magick became part of my life (I've discovered from your videos that it's chaos magick, actually!). I've always been quite stolid in my approach to solving problems, but now I'm often finding new, effective and enjoyable solutions, and this seems to me a bit odd, since aging usually makes people less smart, not smarter! Maybe you're right. :)
So glad you resonate with this too!! Thank you! ❤️
That's exactly what I do I become a character.
i've always striven to be, or be like, a PolyMath. to study dozens of topics, arts, to try different careers, etc... i think Chaos Magick is kind of like the PolyMathy of Magick, or allows for such a path. i love connecting the traditions & tools of different places and times into a single spell, and getting into those mystical mentalities, blending their powers and realities. i totally agree with neuroplasticity and the idea of 'learning how to learn' by making it a daily habit. i've always got multiple projects going on, some magickal, some mundane, all of it is challenging, but i enjoy it too. often the solutions you find in one area apply to another, and in such ways things accelerate. it's an amazing process. 🪐
Chaos magick is absolutely the polymath of magick. I always love hearing your insight because our practices seem to be similar!
Hi. I am new to the channel. I don't know very much about these things. I have a question. Do you do any work with chakras? 😊❤
Já deixando like.
a rising tide raises all boats. the universe is upgrading
ideas for aphants?
How do you use these different Archetypes when you don't really believe they exist?
I believe because our neurons or brain is getting more 'damaged' our Mind (which is limited by the brain) expands more. NOT PROMOTING ANYTHING THAT HARMS THE BRAIN. (my opinion, never believe ANYTHING)
Um Robert Anton Wilson, lol,
I am asuming you have read classics like angel tech, RAW, Leary, R.D Laing
Fun video,
Sounds like one of the loci is trying to get your attention, and verbalizing to others helps crystalize that formation of the new loci
I have not read any of this, but you have now sent me down a new rabbit hole! Thank you! 🙏
@@IvyTheOccultist lol for oldsters like me, chaos magick is just a new face to what we were doing with reality selection, and the 8 circuits, and the theory of monadic intelligence,
Have fun, and have a great week
@@stefanjakubowski8222 well thank you for sharing your wisdom! I love when personal gnosis becomes verified gnosis and I can't wait to further my reading. Hope you have a great week as well!
Hey Ivy thank you so much for this vid. It's inspiring me to try and get rid of some limiting beliefs by just going for new things. I do have a question about that. If you could pls help and if you're reading this.
I grew up religious and I'm having a hard time believing I have enough power to banish or protect myself from negative spirits if it doesn't come from God.. Because why would they listen to me if I'm of interest to them? Any advice on this pls? I'm trying to work with a goddess but my roots in religion makes me feel guilty or I will not be protected if I choose to work with other gods. Thank you!
There is a lot to unpack here. It might be beneficial to look into getting a spiritual coach to work through some of the deep brainwashing from religious trauma. It can be really tough. ❤️ Speaking from personal experience, it's tough! There is a lot of "fear-based" beliefs in Abrahamic religions and I find that's the first thing to deconstruct. We are taught to fear spirits, to fear the thought of going to hell, to fear the wrath of God. My first question is... Why do you even want to banish spirits in the first place? In my experience, most spirits I have interacted with have no interest in humans anyways. Most of them are lovely to have around. Sometimes I'll get a trickster here and there that likes to misplace my keys. But other than that, in all the years I have been working with spirits, I have only maybe ever had 1 or 2 bad interactions. And that was because I stepped into their territory. I think many people are taught to fear all spirits but most of them don't even care about us boring humans anyways 😂
@@IvyTheOccultist Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! I agree maybe I should take up someone who can help me with that! You're response was a great help you're amazing thank you 💕
8:00 Ofcourse adults still have neurogenesis. If adults couldn't form new neurons and new neuron pathways we shouldn't be able to learn new physical exercises. Any time a person learns a new exercise th brain literally engages is neurogenesis. You are right 👍❗
A bit of a tangent, but you mentioned people who think they are God, so not too off topic. *Laughs*
What do you think of people who claim not to be a god, but a physical vessel for one?
Best way to describe I found is “Like Jesus is to God, but you know, for Odin.”
From my limited knowledge on the topic of spirits, I do not see why it couldn’t be possible, but at the same time then why are there not more people walking around claiming to be deific avatars?
If it is a thing, how would you say that affects their abilities to do magic?
Great video by the way, please keep up the great work!
Hahaha I suppose I might be one of those people that thinks they can be a vessel for god-like energy, but I don't think I am the same as those obnoxious people you are referring to 😂 I think we can all be vessels for god-like energy but I don't think one human can contain an entire god's essence. The whole "I am Jesus for Odin" thing basically insinuates that no one else can be Odin's Jesus because they are the chosen one. This mentality of being the "chosen one" gets really old... But if we are talking about the ability for anyone to invoke god-like power, then I am all for it!
@@IvyTheOccultist I didn't think about it like that. I grew up in a deeply religious house, so I guess I projected that even when Jesus was around, the disciples and others could preform miracles still, so if someone was Odin's Jesus, I could still talk to the "Father" aspect of Odin and so could too could I talk with the person in front of me who says they the avatar of Odin.
*raises finger to the sky*
To the library!
Research is now needed!
*laughs*
👍
the brain's plasticity is amazing, isn't it?
Hail Eris...little de calcification action happening. Haven't seen the video yet. Just intuition.
I gotta say, loved the video, but when you talk about neurogenesis, i fear you mean simple brain function. Neurons are really complex cells, and the idea that we do not grow new ones is justified. During growth, we do produce more, but as we age, neuron genesis drops right next to zero. Simple intellectual exercise can manifest in the ways you mentioned. That's my only point. Thank you for the video!
Thank you for this! I always want to make sure I am giving accurate information. The topic of neurogenesis (and us being able to grow new neurons as an adult) seems to be a very controversial topic among scientists because it's hard to quantify. We used to believe that there was no possible way adult brains could grow new neurons, but some more recent studies have been really promising! I pinned a comment with a link to an article from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders that discusses neurogenesis a bit further. I don't think we have all the answers yet but it certainly looks like a possibility!
It's seems to be that you are crying out for attention. Your brainwaves are confused and I am guessing your looking to solve your confusion by trying to impress those who you can influence on CZcams. Chaos is infact the lack of a understanding any given probllem.The lack of understanding or putting forward a reasonable explanation.This creates confusion not to those who understand but who don't. Creating chaos by lack of understanding would and is only amoung those that are ignorant of such facts and want in on something , or by those wishing to sound cleaver by parroting on as if they already know something. Experience of the dark arts magic and other matters is experienced and the language for those experiences can be very difficult to verbulise. I do think you have read to many books.
There are so many other ways you could have worded this to give constructive criticism. I would have gladly been open to a discussion. I am not so attached to my own ego that I am unwilling to consider if/when I am wrong. A discussion between the two of us on our differing opinions would have been great. But instead of opening up a dialogue, you decided to be condescending and rude. How is this a cry for attention exactly? And oh yes, I'm sure you have all the answers for how chaos works as well. You are the authority figure here, correct? 😂 Take your trolling somewhere else.
Hi home Iam, you’re drunk
LOL what is this person even talking about. OP, you're definitely drunk.
I am not god, you are not god, but WE. Are. God.
I don't recommend chaos Magick to anyone under twenty five bc the brain is still developing. My numbers aren't exact so don't be a grammar Nazi to ignore this point. Especially if your family has a history of mental illness be careful. One love✌️❤️😎
You are the expert, don't worship scientists.
Not a chaos magician, in fact I consider myself pretty far from it. I have experienced this and feel as though I am experiencing this right now. I do believe that magic is good for the brain when done properly and I think you can get this benefit through various approaches to magic.
So glad you shared this. Appreciate you. 🤍🖤
Practicing Chaos Magick has really activated my brain and creativity!!!
Explained well. If you discover that try and layer it into your timeline and find the spiritual blueprint. That way you can break cycles and aid your spiritual twins worldwide.
