Thanks :)
thank you for that
Can LGBTQs work with lilith ?
I'm actually orbiting Lilith if that makes sense..I asked her for permission to orbit her...she accepted...it's really interesting energy...I'm intrigued
In case of confusion, dark is more like : having some depth, than having a evil mindset.
Yes definitely 🙏
Thank you for the clarification!
Like shadow work.
So very true this is!
Thank you for that
Working with Lilith completely changed my life! I used to be a people pleaser and exremely desperate and codependant chasing people, now it's the opposite way! Medusa also came to me this winter, i need to get closer to her too.
does it really work
Lil’ sent me awful men only for me to learn how to value myself, and by awful i mean that in a non-traumatic but funny and cinematic way. My experiences with lilith and Hecate is they work with humour (my take)
Or just pray to the only source that won’t cause you harm the Lord. You have the Holy Spirit inside use that source from him to help you shine ur light peace and blessings.
@@halex_lazaro lol
@@halex_lazarothe lord is your opinion and personal faith. It is not a fact and you cannot force it
I work with Hekate. I believe she is not matter, but energy. Hekate is a great shadow guide. I have grown so much in rituals with her. Dark goddesses are not evil. They help people travel their own darkness darkness in life.
Hi Wendy!🖐
why? what do they gain? why do they exist, how do they exist? all of u cucous speak in such confidence and conviction in what you say that you haven't spent a single hour in researching if what you believe with such conviction is even real.
@@TheSimpleDudeOneall material is energy. Quantum theory and science even tells us such. Unified field theory tells us there is no separation between all in "reality" our minds do not create consciousness. Universal cousciecness "creates" our "mind". Its an illusion. Tapping into any spiritual force is merely returning to the source. But no matter how much we try and understand, we will be eternally limited because we are trapped in human brain hardware. Death is the ultimate return to the source and the melting away of the illusion
The asteroid Lilith is in my first house. I've always felt rejected, and I used to stay in that state of self pity until I realized "They just don't except me because they can't understand me, but I can try to understand and accept me" and that's when I started to embrace being an outsider and it's helped me a lot.
I've worked with Lilith for a couple of years and I used to say sorry all the time for things that weren't my fault, but that pretty much stopped as soon as I started working with her. I grew up with three older step sisters who were abusive and controlling (some have grown up), plus a semi paranoid Christian mum wasn't very fun. I had to deal with all of that purity culture bullshit, I had hellish experiences with relationships in church. So before I was this shy meek person, I wasn't shy as a child btw but I just remember being shut down for anything good I achieved or being made fun of stuff I didn't understand by my older sisters. I was sexually abused by my uncle (I'm a male) and my sisters were worried if I was gay and said that they wouldn't love me if I was, I was 8.
After working with Lilith however, a lot of memories surfaced and I was furious with nothing to take my anger out on, but with lots and lots of meditation I became calmer and with time I was able to process a lot of shit like that and cut ties, live my life. I am now studying to be a massage therapist, and its one of the first jobs that I am enjoying.
❤
Congratulations on finding a job you enjoy! Many people never do..
I'm glad you have found some peace and hopefully some joy in your life. It took courage for you to tell your story, but you've probably helped a lot of people who couldn't bring themselves to talk about this. I grew up a Southern Baptist. I used to joke at AA meetings that I was a "recovering Southern Baptist" and it has been so hard to get all of those Sunday school, brain washed recordings out of my head. But, I have reached out to Hecate and I hope that she wants to work with me or will point me in the right direction. 🌟
I like Hellenistic deities, I work with Dionysus because he is actually what Jesus is based upon, look it up yourself the similarities with the plays around Dionysus and Jesus's stories. I personally found healing through this realisation, but don't assume he is just a drunk associated with wine, it' is more accurate to say that he is intoxication, madness, bliss, death, rebirth, and dance among many other associations. When the Greeks occupied Egypt he was associated with Osiris, and when the Greeks encountered India, he was associated with lord Shiva.
Here is a little advice on working with any deity, just go for it, assume that it works, and be consistent with a ritual. Just try your best and look for subtle signs, but don't have any expectations on how or when. The dark Goddess is very fierce, she might come across as anger, hatred, or fear, because she rules over these emotions. You must face them in surrender but remain firm and calm, like rain (more like a thunder storm) let her wash over you, then you will feel a sense of completeness and peace that is incomprehensible. In other words, if you have a scary "lucid" dream remain calm, look for her, and you will find the dark goddess waiting in the energy of fear itself or any other dark emotion. I wish you all the best. @@SageWhite-Rose
Thank you for sharing your story. I am so glad you found Lilith! Wishing you all the best for your new career.
Working with Hekate was been so rewarding. She is truly like a mother - caring, loving and teaches you a lot.
Being a black magician - Lilith has always seemed quite ideal for me. I also like Hekate! Or perhaps Hel! I haven't worked with any goddesses yet but if I did - the suggestions you've made are excellent!
Quick lore lesson: the name of the Norse goddess "Hel" was stolen by the Roman catholic church along with the pits of Tartarus from Greek mythos and they called it "Hell" and used it as a threat to non-conformists.
I absolutely loved the details you've made here on working with the dark goddesses! Thank you for posting this, I also liked the Medusa story you've shared! 🤘🍎🐍
That is so interesting about Hel!!! I love the information you share. ☺️ Lilith would be GREAT to work with... She has definitely peaked my interest for a while now. I tried working with Hecate but just felt dead energy from it... Not sure why. Everyone resonates with different entities, that's for sure. Keep me posted if you try to contact Lilith! 🖤👏
@@IvyTheOccultist So far I've only had a couple dreams of her, about a year ago and nothing since then. Current situations keep me occupied, but one day I'll be able to try rituals to invoke her. The way she appeared to me in my dreams are the way I prefer to envision them. I'll give details on messenger though! 🤘🍎🐍
I have a bond with Lilith, I’ve never worked with her though.
@@IvyTheOccultist Thank you! "dead energy" is how I would describe my relationship w/Isis - it's definitely one way. It means she doesn't resonate with you and probably won't talk to you. She will however enjoy any energy/prayers you give her... smh I wasted too much time with her tbh.
Didn’t even realize Hecate or the Morrigan were “dark”. They always feel pretty nurturing to me 😂
As a new witch, the first goddess I reached out to was Kali and she has become my matron goddess. She has really helped me overcome some of my problems and has assisted with justice workings. We haven’t quite perfected our relationship, if I don’t get the offerings just right, she will help herself to one.
Justice like ?
@@Sekhmet245 dealing with an abusive person
@@julievanarends3702 how did you start working with her ? Is it dangerous? I’m new to this but I want to work with her can you give some tips please? How does she help with getting rid of abusive people?
@@Sekhmet245 I just felt drawn to her. She is not dangerous and can be very loving and powerful. Just don’t forget to give her offerings or she will take something from you. She likes rice and lentils and a candle I bought for her. She likes to have an altar which is pretty simple. You could have a picture or statue of her and a candle.
@@julievanarends3702 she can take something from me like ? Example?
Probably one of the best intros I've heard on this topic. Well done! I have always felt more at home with dark energy, but as you said, its not evil. Sometimes receding into the dark helps us deal with the light. I can't vouch for others experiences, but my relationship with Lilith and The Morrigan have not been negative. I like that they are blunt but fair. They won't let me lie to myself or will call out where I might be self-deceptive. They've helped me understand my spouse much better, so I can be a better husband. They've been there to help with shadow work, and understanding what motivates me. They've also taught me to be kinder to myself.
That's deep. ❤
Oh my God you're Medusa story has moved me to tears. (Trying NOT to cry at work. Lol) I am a SA victim and I've spent the past 4 or 5 years trying to sort that out on my own. I've come a long way, but it still gets difficult at times. I've never even considered the option or possibility of working with a deity to help with the healing process. In fact that stuff always made me nervous due to my lack of knowledge and scary stories I've heard. Thank you for bringing this topic into a new light for me. I'm not sure if I'm ready to jump into worship, but know that is there for me to look into has given me a lot more reassurance.
Oh no, so sorry to make you cry at work!! 😂 Yes, dark goddess work can be AMAZING for healing past trauma. And I would never suggest diving straight into worship... You definitely need to do what feels right to you! Start out slow with some research and see if anything calls out ❤️ I hope you find lots of healing when you're ready for it, lovely!
Working with the Morrigan for a little time now came here to look for tips, thing about the dark goddesses (at least with The Morrigan in my case) is that while they aren't scary the concepts they deal with are (like death, in my case). I work with the dead. As a med student I see cadavers quite often and at some point I just got sick of trying to pretend a piece of cloth was protecting me and keeping me isolated while I literally moved their muscles around and decided to just listen to them. No more 'stay away from them cuz they suck your energy' (which I'm not saying isn't the case about some and for some people, but it just doesn't apply to my case). I decided to fully open up to them and listen to them. More often then not, all they want to de is either, vent, cry or have some company that won't immediately shut them down. That is my act of service and my daily work for The Morrigan. However, when I mention people I like working with the dead, practiioners or not they often get scandalized. Death is still such a huge taboo. Same goes with assault and things like that. 'But how can you possibly wish to work with that????????' they ask. It's like their way to deal with it is trying to pretend it's not there and that such things just don't exist, but idk, it's just a part of life
Oh, I resonate with this so much! Death is a natural part of life and people won't ever be able to fathom why some of us enjoy working with the darker aspects of nature. Agreed with everything you said!
Hekate found me... and I found her... my trauma bonding and healing of my hurt heart has helped me so much. I appreciate and resoect my dark side without fear and honour my relationship with her. Altar to her is a loving expression of this joy.
As a slavic pagan I just wanted to drop a note here Baba Yaga was never a goddess in the old lore. She was just an entity or spirit being. (I'm honestly not sure how to word it but she wasn't a goddess. These two words I feel describe it the best). Now over time people have called her a goddess & that is just fine, you do you, but just understand where she came from and it wasn't goddesshood.
was looking for a comment like this
This happens alot. Loki is a great example. "He" was never a Norse god but is considered one now.
A lot of what is worship is gratitude and appreciation. ❤ because when backed into a corner I had strength from her in an instant, it's so easy to feel love and gratitude and appreciation for her. There's everything within us, and for me lilith is aggressive and protective. It's something thats never been me. I have always wished for someone to stand up for me and say "leave her alone" but she's shown me the strength to do that through her. It's easy to be grateful, in awe, terrified, and respectful of her. ❤
What a beautiful relationship you have with Medusa! I loved it! I have a similar relationship with Hekate. I have also worked with Isis, Tiamat and Lilith. It is a very healing and magical thing indeed. Great video💫
Yess, healing and magical!!! I am SO glad to know you have a similar relationship with Hecate. I know many people are deeply devoted with Hecate 👏 She is a powerful goddess for sure!!
Last year I felt that I was reached out by Nyx after watching a video about her. I felt this very comforting, maternal presence within me in the pitch black of 2am in the morning. I wanted to learn more about this feeling, as I heard from a friend who worked with Aphrodite had a similar experience, so I inquired about it the morning thereafter. They suggested I reach out to her via tarot and learn more about Nyx as a goddess, her origin, her likes/dislikes, etc. That evening I had done my first tarot reading at the ripe old age of 21, and it admittedly made me feel very winded at first, but from there I had learned that it was indeed Nyx reaching out to me. She had reached out to me to offer the start of a relationship together, as she wished to bring me comfort and assurance that good things lie ahead for the future. All she requested is that I must choose between two pathways: one where I dedicate myself to her and one where I do not.
Almost a year later, I happily proclaim my everlasting love and devotion to the Nightmother, Nyx. I had made an altar to her in my last semester of college. While I'd like to rebuild the altar to be greater than ever before, inviting the deities of the House of Hades with Nyx at the helm, I haven't had much time due to serious changes within my own life. Despite this, I give praise to Nyx every night upon my moments before slumber, becoming one with the darkness. In such a comforting darkness, I feel her presence melting my woes away, like a mother soothing a baby to sleep with hugs and kisses.
On a more personal note, I often go through serious episodes of intense self guilt for horrible things I have done in my past, to which I am unsure if I can ever fully forgive myself for. Despite this, the fact that Nyx has reached out to me and provides me constant reassurance to help ground myself in these spirals reminds me that despite my shortcomings, she will always help me through the worst of it. I even remember a dream where she had hugged me from behind and repeated the words "It's going to be okay."
I have never felt so grateful to have her in my life.
This is such a beautiful story. Thank you so much for sharing it! I'm so glad to hear Nyx getting more attention lately. She is a lovely dark goddess for sure. And finding that mother archetype is so powerful, I'm glad you experienced that!! 🖤🙏
I look at it as more of a counsel of dark goddesses. I submit the request to my counsel and which ever goddess wishes to step in to assist I ask her what she wishes from me or what she suggests for me to do to enhance the energies to accomplish it ❤
Persephone came into my life when I was a child. During my Jungian training, her archetype overlapped with what I was going through at the moment. I was scared of identifying myself with her, so I went to seek advice from an analyst on what to do when life puts me into identifying with a goddess of the underworld. I had no clear answer. I left her by leaving the path to be a therapist. I'm now going back to her via another route. The last part of the video was very useful to know how I can work with a goddess. I'm going to start meditation.
Medusa is one of the first deities that I’ve encountered and she came to me in one my mediations early this year. Although I’ve experienced a different forms of abuse in my past but I just came to a huge realization that I was a victim of sex*al harassment on Twitter when I talked to grown men who I thought were my “friends” back in 2017-2020. Even one of them tried to hit on me while they’re married to someone else, made inappropriate remarks about my body, and other things that I find difficult to explain. I was talking to them when I was about in my late teens because I thought they were normal people to talk to but I found out later on that some of them I’ve talked to were either a-holes or just straight up creeps. I no longer talk to them anymore and stopped using Twitter for good. It hurts that I almost forgot about it until Medusa made me realize of all of the things that I repressed and that I need to examine my past experiences of abuse and how I can completely take my power back. Most importantly how I can learn to protect myself through her brilliant and yet powerful energy 💚
Medusa is a frequent visitor to my dreams
Greetings and thank you so much for this video, im glad i found you. I am very new to this and have been through a lot. now for the reason why i am here. I have been feeling a VERY strong pull to Lilith and a pull to break free from the chains that have been wrapped around me my entire life. the urge and pull is stronger than it ever has been. I feel like She has been calling me for a while but i wasn't ready and ignored. I do not know a lot about shadow work, I know bits a pieces about Mother Lilith however, the pull is strong and I wish her to be in my life, to understand her and worship her. I have absolutely no idea where to start or what to do, all I know is that this pull is STRONG. I've dealt with a lot of toxic people in my life and i just want to be free from it and finally be who i was meant to be. thank you again for this
Loved this I also love the dark goddess too , and it was so strange as I too cried watching your video ,she's a fiery protective goddess and she is determined to pull you through like she is a judge that has made her point ❤
I felt the Medusa energy as you talked about the meditation where she spoke to you, I was covored from head to toe in goosebumps. Wow! She is obviously a goddess that shares her power with you. So happy for you.
Thanks for another wonderful video.
Thank you!! It was an incredible experience for sure. I hope that everyone is able to experience that kind of deity connection at some point in their lives... Even if it's through a psychological lens! ❤️
I felt the exact same way! Even welled up a bit!
@@alicianorris9352 sending hugs! 🖤🖤
I felt the goosebumps too, damn
I looooove your mentality of taking what resonates and leave what doesn’t! ❤❤❤
Hekate Hel and Morrigan all have been a deep part of my healing and growth in darkness light!
I was having a very hard weekend and I felt a strong presence come and check on me while I was sleeping. I didn’t turn over because I knew I was going to be ok. It felt like I was being protected. I literally heard footsteps walking behind me while I was sleepy and I felt some energy leaning over and checking on me while I was laying there. No one was there and I got woken up. I’m still trying to figure out if it was Lilith. 🖤
Hey Ivy, first of all, I LOVE your videos--they are so well-researched, accessible, and just have a lot of heart. They are food for my soul! I don't do much deity work, but I do feel some kind of Goddess energy reaching out to me but was uncertain of the name of this deity. This video inspired me to do some research and I'm fairly certain that it's Lilith (also mentioned in your recent vampirism video--a synchronicity maybe?). It makes sense that I would connect with Lilith due to my Judeo-Christian background--I have an MDiv and was going to become an Episcopal priest. I now identify as a witch, but still honor what I learned from my time in Christianity. I'm looking forward to getting to know Lilith more! Thank you for this video and for what you shared about Medusa--I was touched by your story.
My matron spirit is The Morrigan in particular the war like aspect. She wants me to be a part of affecting change so I offered my music as my offering. She heavily associated with crows and birds so song is kinda perfect.
She even introduced me to self love an another goddess specialized in that which was surprising.
I love this video. It was so powerful to hear you talk about your experiences with Medusa! I haven’t felt called to work with any dark goddesses closely so far. But I try to learn about them whenever someone mentions them, if nothing else to consider a new aspect for my shadow work. As always, I leave this video feeling like I not only learned some great things for my own practice but learned more about you and our community. Thank you for always making quality content with a lot of heart (and humor)! 🖤
Aw, thank you so much Milly!! You are the sweetest. ❤️ And I completely agree - it's always good to learn about other magical practices even if you aren't personally drawn to them. It makes for a well-rounded practitioner for sure!
New subbie. I really appreciate this video. Until now, I've been working with two dark goddesses and will begin work with a third this month. Sometimes, I need a swift kick in the pants to remind me how crucial the work is. It's one thing to give offerings or observe feast days out of habit. Doing the work is different. It's deeper. It requires mindfulness. It requires being in the present moment and feeling the emotions, naming them, accepting them and embracing them.
Thank you so much for sharing this information and your own experience! You've reminded me to do the work.❤
Ahh, thank you so much! And welcome to my little corner of the internet! 😆 It's hard to always be doing the work... Sometimes it's nice to take a long break and then diving back into it. ❤️ I'm so glad you found the video helpful. Much love to you!
Is it okay to work with more than one dark goddess? I have read one should work with only one deity or else it is considered disloyal and lack of devotion.
thank u for this helpful information. the ‘ what to expect’ part made me feel better about having bad breakdowns, its only a sign of getting stronger . bless u! 🖤
I think this is my favourite occult channel. I really like your vibe and the way you present information. Thank you, Ivy!
Consider the algorithm as much as you want, but if a Spirit pops up there, the Energy is still in your Life. As you explained: Ultimately, the better the algorithm the more it‘s like an energetic reflection of you yourself and everything you are connected to. A digital - dare I say - Black Mirror.
As always, it‘s a pleasure listening to you! 🍀
thank you for a realistic and grounded video on deity work and deity worship ❤
I'm 'crying just listening to you talking about Medusa..
Thank you!!!
Dark goddesses are my favourites to work with. I love their power. And as a Scorpio, I love to dive deep. 😁💕
Just wow… Wow that this video found me at the appointed time. Wow that my Dark Goddess was revealed to me in a healing space and then again in a reading during the Spring of this year and was confirmed by a subsequent reading. I had become intrigued by serpent energy-the rebirth and again she was drawing near. I kinda forgot all about it, but she was always a whisper in the back of my mind. Then her symbolism began to appear to me in various situations. I have Versace eyeglasses and stumbled upon the Medusa symbolism for the Versace brand. I paused your video and did pendulum work to ask if I was to work with her and it was a resounding “YES!” I mentioned a few other names, Kali was a “No” and I also got yes for Sekhmet. Then you revealed who you were called to at the end and I almost fell out! Also…I noticed her right away at the beginning of your video. GRATITUDE for sharing and showing up for me at just the right time 🙏🏾 🐍 ❤
I've just found you and what a delightful, insightful, knowledgeable and beautiful soul you are! I'm now binge watching your videos to catch up. LOL! I've read tarot for years, bought my first deck in the 70s along with Linda Goodman's Sun Signs book and a pair of rose tinted sunglasses with silver wire frames. Imagine my surprise when she referenced those rose tinted glasses in the first paragraph of my Sagittarius sun sign! I was hooked at that moment. Yeah, I'm that old hippie chick, though now I'm probably called a crone. I've never been drawn to religion but I am a spiritual person. I've never worshipped a God or Goddess but I do feel the connectedness to ALL in the universe, especially animals. Lately I've been drawn, nay, pulled to Goddess Oracles and Tarot decks and have started a journal just for Goddess messages. One day while listening to a guided past life meditation video I saw myself skipping down an ancient forest path. All around me was beautiful shades of green. I was wearing a green dress that flowed around my ankles, I had long blondish wavy hair with a circle of hand woven flowers as a crown. My shoes were made of a soft brown suede and tied with a green ribbon around ankle. I could see people gathered ahead of me at a wooden table laughing and drinking, kids running and playing, a stew in a big black cauldron cooking over a large fire. I remember being so happy, peaceful, and loved. Then the name Cerridwen was called. I don't know if it was me they were calling or if someone else or if they were honoring the Goddess herself. Some noise brought me out of the meditation and I've never been to that place again when doing past lives meditation. I did some research on Cerridwen and found she is the keeper of the cauldron, the keeper of knowledge. That experience happened months ago but every now and then her name pops into my mind out of the blue, and in the past week when I pull a daily oracle card Cerridwen has jumped out of my hands twice. Since I've never really worked with a Goddess I wonder if these are just coincidences or if she is calling me. I've never called myself a witch but I've been interested in witchcraft but have never practiced. My daughter works with herbs and candles and she is amazing and powerful. Ince im retired I have a lot of free time to start reading about witchcraft and moonology to expand my knowledge beyond astrology and tarot. I'm so late to this form of divination, if that's what it is called, but I'm curious to learn more. I didn't mean to write a short novel here but it's so nice to be able to tell someone what's in my mind regarding these subjects. Anyway, please keep sharing your knowledge and beautiful personality to the world. You have a lot to share and we need to hear your voice and wisdom. Peace and Much ❤️.
Ahh, thank you so much for your kindness!! Your comment just made my day. 🙏 It definitely sounds like Cerridwen is calling out to you! She is such a lovely goddess to work with. I worked with her for a very short period of time... It's worth exploring, at least! I love that you're exploring new paths. Also, I'm a Sagittarius Moon, so I am VIBING with your Sag Sun energy. Much love to you! ❤️❤️
@@IvyTheOccultist oh, my! Yesterday as I shuffled my Making Magic cards the Awen card popped out. I added it to my other three oracle cards in my reading and started seeing so many synchronicities between the cards. Just now I read that Cerridwen's cauldron is named Awen! I have to say I'm excited, humbled, a bit nervous, and overwhelmed with emotions. Why do I hear Jeff Foxworthy telling me, "here's your sign." LOL!
@@SilverCrowTarot HAHA I can totally hear Jeff Foxworthy's voice 😂😂 YES, definitely a sign!!!!
I’ve studied for 25 years now, and just absorbed information and let myself gain a knowledge and respect for my path, if that makes sense. The Morrigan pretty much found me. I had never studied the deities in any other sense then the God, Goddess, and sort of just let myself grow in real life and spiritual things. This is an interesting journey to be sure.
Thank you for sharing your relationship with Medusa. She has been calling me for awhile now. I just didn't know if I was ready. This video helped me.
.
So glad this video helped you out. Medusa is amazing 🖤🖤🖤
Im going to give a warning here. Working with a dark goddess is great for shadow work. But if you choose to go into the underworld (i mean this literally and i dont mean in the astral realm either. I mean the actual spiritual world with dead people), allowing yourself to die, then be reborn to unload trauma and have a clean soul, you need to make sure you are mentally strong. You will see some things. Everything ugly about yourself, or trauma you have been through will be brought in front of you. If you were sa'ed, expect this to be shown again and expect to be forced to confront this. If you were ever beaten by a man, or treated poorly by a parent or lover, you will be forced to confront it. Many people have gone insane because they just can't get through their own hell. In fact, some souls might get left behind, and the body becomes almost soulless. Now the good news. If you make it through the death walk, you will be a new person ready to be filled with all of the good things life can offer you. It's the scariest thing I've ever done, but also the best thing I've ever done.
How can u do this ? If I choose to go into the underworld
This was so cool! I highly enjoyed this. I've had a few moments where I thought a dark goddess was calling me. I've been practicing witchcraft for years now. But I've never actually dedicated my practice to a goddess yet. So right now I'm doing as much research as I can on working with a dark goddess. I'm also learning about shadow work. And have felt called to start including that into my practice. I've been putting it off for while now , mainly out of fear. But I do think it's time. So thank you for posting this. It was so insightful. And thank you also for sharing your own personal story about your experience. You just got a new subscriber
Thank you. I have been working on shadow work and religious trauma work of my past and have been feeling a aid for help with it and immediately thought of Hel. A companion for the heaviness of that work is just essential for me at least. Lovely story of Medusa and her coming to you. I am so happy she is there for you.
I have called upon Hel many times for dark energy spell casting. She is always with me in spirit.🌒🌕🌘
I, of course, always love your videos but this one came up at the perfect time. I’ve been thinking of and feeling drawn to Persephone lately. I haven’t worked closely with a deity yet and have been feeling overwhelmed and nervous to start. More than anything, I never want to disrespect a deity or the process. Though if you approach with grace, knowledge, and the correct mindset, I don’t believe it could be viewed as disrespectful.
i clicked on this video so fast when i saw Nyx!!!!
Lol!!! Well I hope you aren't too disappointed! The video is about how to work with dark goddesses as a whole, not necessarily how to work with specific ones. I suppose that's misleading from the thumbnail picture 😂😂 Forgive me!
not at all! i loved the video, thank you so much for sharing! 🖤
@@fluoriteandfauna whew! I'm so happy! ☺️❤️🙏
She is right. Hecate will help you cleanse yourself so you can be a vessel, BUT Iher love is unconditional. She leads you there for you first
thank you!!! i'm what you call new born to this and you just helped me by giving me a starting point.
Thank you so much for sharing these tips. Your experience with Medusa was very moving! I hope to learn more about the dark goddesses through you.
Ahhh I love your decor, your background is welcoming in darker way!! ❤ perfect for the video 😊
I found my relationship with Freyja grow stronger after my ex fiancé left me. She was there for me and helped me realize that only I can fix the situation. Also how to do it with magic. Ever since I can’t look back. She is my teacher and friend. A forever mentor ❤️
So grateful to have found your channel!💜
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that 🥰
This was fantastic and full of information for dark goddess work. I'm currently working with the Morrigan and it's been a wonderful experience. I'm brand new to your channel and I'm loving your videos. ❤
Thank you so much - I really appreciate your kind words! ❤️
This is similar to my journey.
In the beginning, I also ‘flirted’ with The Morrígan, and loved her energy, but after some time I felt like she stepped back. (Still not sure)
Now King Asmodeus has been coming through for me the past couple of months, and how you felt with Medusa is how I feel with him ❤
Thank you for this video! First actually beneficial video about deity work I've seen. 👏👏👏👏 Most videos are a little too vague - it's such a unique practice for everyone of course but I appreciate you sharing concrete ways how one might get started with deity work and how to use it to empower oneself as the relationship evolves. ❤
I’ve always loved and felt empowered by the Dark Goddess in her many guises. I respect and fear them, because they can bring swift change into ones life even if you are not ready for it. Maybe because I’ve always been drawn to things that are dark or gothic and struggles with years of depression, there’s just a natural love and appreciation for the dark goddesses. 🙏
This is so very true 👍 listening & watching your videos make my world open up more ❤ it makes it so much easier knowing guiding me to the path I need to be on ❤ I certainly believe Medussa and hecate are close by me guiding me from what I was drawn into and working out a different route ❤
Another great video! I love hearing about your relationship with Medusa. Her name has been popping up a lot, lately! Thank you, Ivy 🖤
Thank you! Maybe Medusa is calling out to you as well. 🖤
@@IvyTheOccultist I wasn’t really paying too much attention to it, until my Mom mentioned her. I figured it probably was more than just an coincidence at that point 🤣
How do you choose which Dark Goddess to whom you dedicate yourself? This such a well put together video, and this question came to mind as I feel drawn to more than one Dark Goddess. I found out in the last year that Lilith has been part of my journey since childhood. She is the first I actually began working with after finally connecting. Then, The Morrigan comes along with whom I also feel a draw towards, though she may not be a mainstay as Lilith feels. Recently, I have found out about Nyx being a part of my spirit team, knowing so much about me and my soul. And, I believe Nyx may have been coming through in the mundane years ago when I first heard about Nyx makeup products. I'm not a big makeup person, using whatever, but my former friend who was would consistently tell me about this brand, lol. She was coming up a bit last year too through the random videos and images on social media feeds. So, could we work with these different Goddesses without dedicating to one, though have a main one who feels like a matron? I love and appreciate all of them and their aspects, though it's sometimes difficult for me to figure out which one(s) is/are THE one(s).
Yes, you can work with more than one. Yes, you can have a main one.
Really enjoyed this video. I've been working with a Dark Goddess for several years and my start was similar - started (fleetingly) with Lilith before doing research and coming where I am now. I always enjoy hearing others' journeys.
🖤🖤🖤
Would you please give me some information about Medusa🙏 and how to talk to her,I seriously need her help
Kali Ma is somewhat misunderstood. Yes, she is the Goddess of Death and Time and Darkness - space represents her she is ALL she is EVERYWHERE, but Kali Ma is also a sweet Mother who loves unconditionally and represents Brahman - she IS the "One" who Vishnu and Shiva bow down to. IF you have the space to make a proper alter and are going to make an offering please know she loves fruits (lemons) and even flowers (hibiscus). I don't have space to make a proper alter + I live w/someone else.. But I do offer thanks and gratitude and listen to her mantras just to vibe w/her and show love. Sometimes I chant quietly to myself just to show her love w/o wanting anything. 🖤
Very helpfull!!!! I have a similar story working with dark goddess and now I am working with the goddess Nyx.
Love it!! 🖤🖤🖤
Thank for sharing this, I am not at this point yet but I love learning how others do this for when I decide, much love Ivy!
Thank you - much love to you as well!! ☺️🖤
Dear Ivy, thanks a million stars for sharing such great content in such a concise and informative manner. Your work is greatly appreciated and I hope you keep giving us the opportunity of sharing these moments with you in the future and that our paths lead to the greater good of the collective. ❤ Watching from Portugal ❤Love&Magik
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely experience with Medusa. I loved hearing about that. I’m a devotee to Hecate. I really appreciate some of what you say about Medusa. I’ve really been wanting to cultivate more protection while doing spell work and she sounds like a wonderful protector. Thank you!
Hi Ivy,
Enjoying all your content so much💜
Thank you
Dark Goddess work changed the direction of my life too…for the better
Love your new hairdo btw😎😽
Thank you!! I was getting a bunch of gray hairs in one section of my head. So I just decided to dye the whole chunk of hair white 😂 I'm so glad to hear dark goddess work has changed your life as well. Much love! ☺️❤️
@@IvyTheOccultist 🖤💖😽
This is such a beautiful and well done video. So comforting and educational for those new to this side of deity worship.
This is probably going to be controversial because i know a lot of people feel drawn to Lilith, but i have to warn that she *is* a demon originating from a closed practice. Her origins are directly stemming from jewish mysticism if im not wrong (which definitely is closed) so i heavily suggest you do your research on the topic before you practice. Also considering her dark origins and the fact that she was credited with causing grief and miscarriage in jewish culture, it can be seen as disrespectful to worship her. I'm obviously not a professional and i havent done any research on her in a while so i could be very wrong about this, but i know modern paganism has a tendency to be dismissive on such topics. which in turn is harmful to the history and cultures these stemmed from. Sorry for nerding out, i just felt this was important to know :)
Lillith's origins are in Babylon pre-dating any Talmudic writings.
Thank you Mother Lilith ❤
congratulations on finding your empowerment!
I always had an interest in Lilith, Even when I was practicing religion back then.....and now that I hear about her again and taking time to investigate about her, it's curious to me that she's all about putting boundaries and recover the power that got stolen.... Something that I also lived and to this day I still struggle with.....I wish i knew more about her and dark goddesses earlier because it's all i needed and need right now.
Also and I didn't want to forget to thank you for this video (I still have more minutes to finish it) especially when you said that it's personal the way you connect with a dark goddess since I struggle with religious trauma but still want to approach a deity and feel them.
Im starting to work with Lilith and she was so opening when i contacted with her I’m gonna get her sigil 🥰in her respect
I started with persephone. Then lillith and now hekate. To find that helate was a friend and mentor to persephone i felt hekate is the mature me and persephone was the young me. I have been very rebellious and ive been abused by men similar to lillith. I connect to them all and researched them all. They have changed my life and perspective all in different ways i calll on them for different reasons. Blessed be sisters
I found Hekate by wandering in my woods. I sensed her there asked her to reveal herself. The info came in many ways. She is very wise and gentle. She has been eye-opening . Like a favorite wise elder who loves a good cuppa tea and a treat. You can't cross her . She is so wise. I have grown to love her deeply. Intimacy.... is the word I often feel.
I’m so happy to have found your channel
I love your respectful and realistic approach to building a relationship with the dark goddess
I feel very much pulled by a dark goddess energy
I’m doing a lot of research and asking to be guided
I’m not exactly sure who it is but it seems like Lilith or Inanna
I’ll leave it at that but i think you will also be a good influence on this journey
Look into the origins of Lillith. Lillith and Inanna are tied together.
So thoroughly enjoyed this video. Please give me some suggestions of where to get info with relation to Medusa. Would like to attempt working with her as my dark Goddess. Thank you again for all your wonderful videos, love them all.
Oh my goodness!! This is so helpful and encouraging to me; thank you so much 😊
Ivy, you always deliver AMAZING content! Thank you 🤍
Thank you!!! ♥️
I heard that as “especially if this is your first lifetime doing shadow work” 😅 girl I wish!
My relationship with Lilith, Kali, the Morrigan and to a lesser extent Hekate have been very slow in developing. I am always surprised at the energies that reach out to me…..though looking back to what I had come to equate with being ‘the way I should be’, of course I shouldn’t be surprised they would step in and wake me up to my true nature again.
Kali and the Morrigan all but shoved their way into my life, or at least made their presence very known. This was at the very beginning of what I guess I would term my ‘spiritual path, or devotion to spirit’
I’ve always been the quiet kid who talked to dead people and hung out in the astral or the in-between. It always felt more home than anything else as a child. As I grew older I strayed farther from that and became more ‘earth bound’ I guess is a term I’d use.
Even now I have been very hesitant to fully devote myself to working with them, or any deities really, though they have been patient but persistent.
Thanks for this video. It is a nice reminder that they would really like me to get on with it!
Very moving and inspiring ✨️
I'm going to try to honour Hecate by improving my home and keeping it clean and welcoming
I may understand your struggle as I have a sink full of dishes I'm avoiding.
i just want to thank you for this video.. answerd many question i had and got a starting point on what i had in mind.
Thank you Thank you Thank you for the video. Probably not an easy topic, but you helped me make sense of being drawn to Hekate. I honestly never thought or knew, the shadow work/transformational/sub consciousness exploration.
Thank you for the informative video! I appreciate every single detail explained here. 😁
what an amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experiences. Your words have given me the confidence to go ahead and find my Dark Goddess as I haven't felt the confidence to do so yet. Again thank you for sharing 💜
Ahh, this makes me so happy. Wishing you lots of success and fulfillment with your dark goddess worship! 🖤
It is your subconscious trying to communicate with you through symbolism. These deeply profound experiences that you encounter are definitely to be explored. However, if you believe them to be Goddesses communicating with you rather than your subconscious, you will be doing yourself an injustice by not relating to them accordingly. incidentally, coming to understand the symbolism of your subconscious takes years of practice, and analyzing your nightly dreams.
Tell that to the spider and owl that came to me
Thank you so much for your help. I've been called to work with the Egyptian goddess Nepthys very excited ❤
I love your whole vibe!
Another excellent video, you are amazing!
Oh gods, no worries at all!!! Sleep comes first! 😆 I hope you have a fabulous day (it's bedtime for me here) and thank you so much for being such a lovely human!! ❤️
@@IvyTheOccultist Yah, its now 4am and because I slept earlier I can't sleep now, busy day today as well, Going to make a "I am energized" Sigil and then activiate it. Aw, your an amazing human being too! I hope you get lots of sleep ♥️
Beautiful video..I just subscribed😊 I have connected to Mother Medusa before but it's Mother Lilith who is the one for me. She has started calling me lately and I would explore it more. Thanks for your sound guidance..it was easy to understand.🙏
Best wishes
As a Hindu we worship Kali as a Supreme mother...You know how protective Mothers,are don't mess with Maa Kali's children
*Slams like and subscribe button* Thank you for making this, it was inspirational 🥰
I love love loved this. Thank you so much Ivy. 💚
Thank you! 🙏❤️❤️
I've been so interested in this and someone videos I've found kind if scared me off. I'm always afraid if I don't follow through there would be negative consequences. I have a really bad habit of being so interested in something for a certain amount of time and then I lose interest or just don't follow through or move on to something else and I am so afraid of disrespecting a deity :(
Thanks for this video… i love it so much!
Sekhmet has been around me peripherally lately. In dreams she isn't the focus but obviously there and I recently learned my favorite number is also associated with her. I have always been interested in her but now I have started learning about her in a deliberate fashion.
Also in case someone needs to hear this, dark ≠ evil.
YES! I love seeing some attention being given to Sekhmet. Also, you are absolutely correct. Dark does not equal evil! 🙏🖤
🙏🙏 its my public gratitude to Maa Kaali Goddess Lilith Goddess Hecate ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏 thank you so much maa kali thank you so much goddess hecate thank you so much goddess lilith 🙏thank you so much universe for helping saving me and my life instant way in any situation and condition .
Needed this so much my life has been a questions always feeling something missing even in dark & tramatized moments , being raised one way and told that anything else is fiction , i only wish i had knew them when i was younger, maybe instead of just surving i would be thriving a little bit differnt , not that would change my life now but it sure would of help😪 & the crows is something ive always brushed off in the past just thought it was amazing that they visited but never put into any thoughts of it as to why so thankyou for that too.
Much help❤❤
until now I practiced in an eclectic way, with no deities. After watching your video, I might have a deeper look on it. Thank you
@IvytheOccultist this is very interesting information I always thought deties be as a "person" Never in my years did I think I had the free will to think of it as a state of mind. Thank you so much :)
