  • After all the requests to do a Q&A here I've finally caved! And you know what, I had quite a bit of fun filming this video!
    I want to thank you all for your lovely questions and I really enjoyed getting to work with you all on a video in this way!
    Questions Answered in this video:
    1. How did you get into witchcraft? Is it something you found on your own?
    2. Where are you studying herbalism?
    3. How much knowledge would you say you had of herbalism before you started school for it? Were you exposed to herbalism as a child or did you gain a base of your knowledge through self study? Fellow Chestnut School student here
    4. how long did it take for you to find your current path? (as a baby witch who's still learning the basics, I'd love to know!)
    5. Seen as you are on such a public platform how do you handle pagan trolls? The folks who think that their way is the only way?
    And my other question is do you have any secrets to your practice that you purposefully keep for yourself because of your tradition?
    6.Does Wicca still play an important part in your practice or have you found another path that suits your needs better?
    7. How did your friends and family react when they found out you are a witch?
    8. Tell us more about your boyfriend, let us see him!
    9.Do you have friends who are also witches and how did you find them? If not, what do they think about you being a witch?
    10.What do you do for a living and how do you maintain a work-life balance so that your home & magickal practice is preserved and protected?
    11. I'm actually curious about how you edit your videos. They're always so lovely and have a certain uniform aesthetic. I know this isn't a witchcraft question but it's something I wonder about each time you put a new video out. :)
    12. What are you using for filming, set-up, in the house do you take advantage of the natural light or do you have to use a ring light?
    13. How long does it take you to edit a video?
    14. I absolutely love your style of clothes and I was curious if you make them yourself, buy them online or just do local shopping for them?
    15. What you eat in a day???
    16. Do you eat the food you make now?
    17. Are you Vegan?
    18. This seems like a silly question, but I just adore the ring you wear on your index finger. Where did you get it? I've read that wearing rings on certain fingers can help with certain spells/vibes/intentions you are putting out. Does that ring true for you? (No pun intended haha!) Thank you for sharing your story & continuing journey!
    19. What is you're favorite part about skyrim? and did skyrim inspire you to become a green witch? It did me!
    -----note here because I forgot to answer the second part of the question! Skyrim, while it wasn't the first thing that inspired me to follow the green witch path, is something that continues to reignite the spark of it for me when I am feeling a little lost from it!
    Thank you all so much for your lovely questions and I hope to do this again with you soon!

    There are a couple of things that I want to say here. First, I can’t imagine the difficulties and challenges that you face with your illness and I appreciate you sharing with your viewers a glimpse of that part of yourself. Second, I have been a practicing green witch for over almost 35 years, and just want to say, that I love to see the younger generation’s fresh new take on the different ways that they practice. You have created for yourself a gentle and beautiful pathway. Third, I really enjoy your videos; absolutely gorgeous, calming, and I can tell you are putting your heart and soul into these videos. Keep it up girl, you are doing fabulous. Blessed Be. ❤️

I admire your experience, and, if I may ask, what inspired you to choose the path of the green witch almost 35 years ago? Blessed be!

    Seeing another witch with Ehlers-Danlos talking, even a little bit, about the challenges of shared food and dislocations got me emotional. I so rarely see other people who live this way. It's an illness that excels at making you feel isolated, and this made me feel very seen and understood. So much love and support to you 🖤

    I dont struggle withthe same disorder as you but as someone who has struggled with anorexia and now has IBS, I completely relate to the inability to experience food the same way others do. the feeling of sitting at a table and not being able to join in with the festivities is a horrible one. thank you for having your struggle because I'm sure you have helped many people.
    I also wanted to say that I'm sorry if you've recieved any judgement for not being vegan. I'm fortunate enough that I can be vegan but I know that it really is not a suitable diet for everyone and should not be forced onto others. I'm glad you've found a way to interact and work with food that brings you joy and is healthy for you.
    I was I introduced to you by a friend because I'm curious about witchcraft and I absolutely adore your channel, you have such a calming energy and are so passionate and dedicated to your practice. thank you for sharing all this knowledge !

    Also, thank you for sharing your experience about your condition. I like how you shared that you still try to share in meals with others despite your condition. I've never heard of it before, but I can vaguely relate as I have a condition that makes my bowels reject a lot of food groups that other people can eat. Sometimes it is hard to share meals with others because there are a lot of things that hurt me and are present in many foods. Hearing your experience put that into perspective for me but also gave me ideas on how I can still enjoy meals with others that I may not be able to eat myself. Thank you! Blessed be!

    I have always been curious but raised Baptist and Methodist. I was finding myself in a crisis of ‘faith’ in the mid-‘80s and cried out in my mind “if there really is a God, just give me a sign.” After a while I realized I was getting an answer form the trees around me, “We’ve always been right here.”
    So, Druid? I quickly resolved to take a serious look into witchcraft, which I have always been interested in. This finally felt like “home.”

I am a beekeeper myself and honestly my babies are happy, and I always do what is best for them in terms of harvesting, or not harvesting, or feeding, and if you want honey that comes from beekeepers who do the same, just buy honey at like a farmer's market, where you can get it straight from a local beekeeper.

SO, Honey, Thank you so much for your beautiful transparency and your lovely offerings on both of your channel's. What you just shared with us was powerful, and you did it without any projection or attachment to the victim archetype. Not a small thing. You are so wise beyond your years. I am a green/hedge/kitchen witch, and an herbalist - both for over 30 years (and in many ways, even since I was a young child). I follow less and less dogma (none, really) as I begin to step into my crone years, but I still love a simple, alive, moment-to-moment practice. It has all become a very creative and present moment way of life. And I love watching your videos! They delight my inner child and inspire me to play. How lovely to connect with so many more sisters. Sending much healing light to your very strong body/mind/spirit. Many blessings, Amara

I live in a city, I have very little access to nature, and I rarely get to see the moon or stars - it often frustrates me because I feel like I am so distant from nature that it hinders my ability to practice and connect with the beautiful energies I share this planet with. But I cannot take for granted the things I do have - my little family of plants and cats in my home, the trees and birds outside my window, access to dried herbs, my kitchen, and my own spirit.

    For those who are interested in Herbalism, I work as a homework reviewer for Rosemary Gladstar. Her books are amazing and she has a beginner book out that would be a good place to start. Becoming an Herbalist 27 years ago was life-changing for me and also led me to the path of Paganism. You'll be amazed how many of those wild weeds growing in your yard are fantastic medicine. As a former librarian, once libraries are open again, ask them for different plant id books and herbal medicine books and find the ones you like the most. I'm learning a lot about gastroparesis since my daughter's boyfriend has it-- linked to his Type 1 diabetes.

    This was a beautiful video, thank you for sharing your Q and A here on youtube. I am a vegan but everything that you said I completely understand and agree with. You are doing what you need to do in your life, which is perfectly fine. Also, you are incredibly lucky your parents and family supported you when they found out you are a witch. I am a secular Zen Buddhist and when my family found out I was ridiculed, bullied and ignored as if I didn't even exist. It was a difficult thing to go through, but I became stronger and learned a lot through all that. It makes me happy to hear other families are more supportive though.

    I know this video is older but your videos are a kind of “comfort show” for me. I watch them all the time. I recently went though a pretty hard time and I didn’t work for a year... I have a job interview this week. It’s not the big fancy career I was doing before I had to quit working but... it’s a part time job at a retail store to start getting me back around people.
    Seeing how awesome you are and how calm you are has helped me more than you know. I’m chaotic and anxious a lot and learning how to stop and breathe through your videos as an inspiration has really helped. At least to us, you make the things you go through seem like learning experiences and just that method of dealing and that way of thinking really is valuable. I’ve identified as a witch for 11 years but I’ve never had the ability to focus and breathe and ground myself.
    Idk if you ever feel exhausted from what you do (even though I’m sure you love it) but I wanted to let you know how much you’ve changed my life. I know that sounds corny but I’m serious.
    I’m really nervous about this week and being around the world again but I’m being more positive and I’m sure I’ll be okay. Thanks for teaching me how to be better, even if you didn’t know you did.

    I randomly stumbled across this video and first off, you’re so freaking beautiful, I’m literally gay screaming. (Well, in my head, it’s like, 5:30am right now.) Secondly, I haven’t seen any creator so far with EDS, and that totally took me off guard, and I had looked down to peel a sticker off of my laptop and my head snapped right back up as soon as I heard that. I’m currently dealing with a huge health decline due to EDS.
    I’m currently diagnosed with type three, but I’m in the process of getting my diagnosis changed due to my heart condition and the fact my stomach has recently decided to hate doing the job of keeping stomach acid… In my stomach… where it belongs. I’ve had three hospitalizations this year already since it causes my esophagus to bleed rapidly and I vomit blood.
    It’s taken so much of my life away. I was lucky enough to spend three healthy months with my newborn daughter and she was a year old before I reached a point of being able to be at home for more than two or three weeks before going right back to the hospital for months at a time, and right now, I’ve hit my longest time yet at almost four months at home. My daughter turned three this year and attempting to raise her from a hospital bed is just… It’s hard. It’s hard, but I did it in the end, and now, fingers crossed, I’m on the way up, and not down.
    It’s kinda messed me up in a weird way, but for some reason, just hearing someone else is dealing with similar issues, with the same condition, was just… Healing… In a way? I don’t really know how to describe it. I hit subscribe right away, and thank you for sharing that part of you, and I’m sending all of my positive thoughts, feelings, and vibes right your way.

      For me it's helpful to know others have bodies that do what mine does.
      It's a trapeze walk trying to keep everything going to the point that life can be kinda normal. I did a lot of trial and err back in mostly in the 90's and lived according to what worked to keep quality of life normal. Now my silly habits have snazy labels like paleo, fodmap, whole 30. It's a tight rope to walk and hard, sad decisions along the way.
