Today I have some green witch tips and tricks for you. We will be talking about how to know if you are a green witch - or, better phrased, how to know if green witchcraft practices suit your lifestyle and witch-style. In this video, you will find a lot of background knowledge around being a green witch for beginners and maybe even the advanced practitioner. Furthermore, we will look into how green witchcraft can be worked, speak about herbalism and plant spirit, and of course discuss how magickal correspondences for herbs and plants come are developed. Are you a green witch too? Do you practice with herbs, plants, trees, and fungi? And what is your preferred method to do so? :)

As a plant biology major, I think that the boundary between botany, bushcraft, and secular non-supernatural green witchcraft is just how much wonder and appreciation you approach them with.
I love that thought! Agreed 😀💚🌼
♥️♥️♥️

🥺❤️
i love her so much i cannot stress it enough
💕☺️
Finally someone who differentiates between actual medical + chemical effects of herbs and traditional corespondences. Thank you :) I feel sometimes a bit frustrated while going through books where is scientific and tradtitional knowledge mixed together which can cause some mess (I know, sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't and it would be fair to say which knowledge is which). And it's also good to know that herbs can be really powerful and do more harm than good, e.g. St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) can interact with lots of antidepressants and hormonal contraception.
Yeeeees, all of this 👆👆👆 This is the reason I really don't like most witchy books on the topic, as they just jumble everything together and that can be really dangerous - especially, when ingesting any herbs and plants. Funny that you mentioned St. John's wort - I had that in as an example but edited it out so it wouldn't get to longwinded hihi
Hey lovelies. Do you work with plants in your craft too? What is your favourite way to work some "green witchcraft"? 💚☺️ Also, somewhere on the beginning I say "how a green witch can work her magick" - but of course I mean witches of any gender, just used the wrong pronoun 🙈💕
I work with them in multiple ways. Alot of kitchen time an tea time 🍵
No worries , Us 'guys' don't get mad or worked up over stuff like that. Love your channel.
As a spiritual green witch it sucks that my apartment doesn’t allow plants but I do have all me herbs and flowers that I used for remedies. Your back ground is beautiful by the way and i appreciate your video. I’m new to the green witch life and I love it I just hope that doesn’t make me less of a green witch that i can’t have plants in my home I’m still connecting with the beautiful life of plants and flowers and herbs thank you again for your video
Hey there, I’m with you, I LOVE PLANTS, but I cannot keep them Alive…!!! I just buy Herbs 5 Basic Ones , Basil Mint Rosemary Thyme and Chamomile… they stay Alive for some reason, and I decorate with Fake plants… 🤣🤣🤣
How could anyone not adore your videos?!? You're so knowledgeable and hilarious to listen to! I love your videos! Keep 'em coming! 🤗
Gaaaaah you are sooooo sweet 💕 Thanks so much and so happy to hear you enjoy the video! Filming another one for Beltane kitchen witchery right now 💪
You are actually helping me out a lot more then I thoght you would have there are so many things that you have taught I think a lot of beginner witches should watch your videos
That is such a kind comment - thanks so much 💚 and I am so happy you find the videos helpful! ☺️
I am 66 years old and have been gardening, making salves, tinctures, teas, soap for many years. My friends always call me a witch!
Have you thought of starting your own business? That sounds lovely! 🌿☕️
You should do a Podcast for this! Your knowledge on this topic is amazing and I learned a lot! Baby Green Witch here and I can't thank you enough for this video.
You’re videos are so so helpful. I swear, my confidence grows with all the things I learn from you. ❤️
💚 I am so happy to read that they give you more confidence in your knowledeg! That is amazing :) Thank you for your lovely comment!
Personally I want to learn/practice all that I can when it comes to witchcraft, and videos like this make it so much less intimidating to get into new kinds!! 💙💙
I am so happy to hear that 💚 go and explore 💪
Hi Bex, another fantastic video - I just love your sense of humour and the look on your face when you thought you weren't recording was priceless... I am a green witch of 20 'ish years and agree with what you say about using the plants in your area and learning the plants by growing your own. Love, love, love your videos, you ALWAYS make me chuckle. You have a genuine personality and as soon as I see a new video from you I HAVE to watch it...
Blessings to you my lovely xxx
You are so sweet ☺️💚 haha my heart definitely skipped a beat at that moment hahah it would not have been the first time that I talked to a switched off camera 😅 sending you much love 😘
Your background is perfect.
So much great information! I love your down-to-earth nature and that you didn’t edit out the recording blooper! 😂🖤🧙♀️
Delightful video, Bex. You make a great point about the magickal correspondences and history. I agree that it's so important to understand the herbs with which you work. My parents, for example, are on a lot of medication so, when I cook for them with "outliers" I often reference a book I picked up that was written by 2 pharmacists and details herbal and pharmaceutical interactions and possible contraindictions.
Thank you 💚 totally agree - especially when it comes to consuming herbs and plants (well, anything for that matter really), it is so necessary to know what they do to your body or how they interact. They can be wonderfully beneficial but if applied wrong, they might do more harm instead.
What book do you reference?
what was the book title? I am on a lot of psychiatric medications and that would be so helpful :)
I love what you talk about and how you approach subjects. Also enjoy the little human slip ups from time to time you always have a smile and that brings positive energy to everyone watching. Keep it up! Blessings to you luv 💕
Anybody else have a heart attack at 17:57? :*D I'm sorry but scared the sh*t out of me lolol
Ok seriously love this channel, this is the best, widest, but concise and fun introduction to green witchcraft I've ever heard, including books. Bravo Bex as always!!
hahaha Sorry xD I just wanted to catch the horror I felt when thinking it didn't record hehe Also, thanks so much for your kind words! I am so glad you enjoy the channel 😊💚
I absolutely love and enjoy all of your content! But, I must say this morning while I was preparing a cup of dried dandelion to be covered in oil and eventually to become lotion bars to help with psoriasis I was smiling just a bit harder. I've been slowly working through all of the natural harvestables since spring to make sure that I had at least a bit of each that I know I'll use through the year. And on top of being green my kitchen got much attention this morning as I baked with a bit of extra oomph to help my daughter feel better.
I’m a new witchcraft curious person and your videos are extremely helpful. When you start making paid content I’ll be first in line.
I am so happy to hear you find them helpful! ❤️ That's so sweet - so far I have nothing like that planned - as I want to keep it free and accessible to everyone ☺️✨
Whew! So true. Every region is so different in growing.
Great video with a fantastic overflow of personality and humor. You're my best herb of today. 💚💚💚
I've been upset over my cat disappearing. Watching this helped lighten my mood.
Oh no!!! That is horrible 😱 when did your cat disappear? I do hope you can find him/her soon 💚🙏 glad to hear you enjoyed the video
@@Thewitchescookery I let him out yesterday night because he has his girlfriend's. He also paws the door off in the morning but nothing. Nothing all day. Nothing today. The odd thing is that last March I had another cat to just vanish. I'm feeling like they are being stolen. My heart just hurts.
That is so horrible - I am so sorry 😢 I can imagine how sad and upset you must feel. I do so hope that you get him back somehow 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
@@Thewitchescookery thanks so much lovey.
I’m very new to the itch world, but I am super pleased to already have my toes in the water. I grow lavender near my doors to keep bugs away and yarrow outside my office for feminine empowerment 😊
Oh i Love this so much! Watching while gardening 🌸✨♥️
Love your videos and your sense of humor. So well informed. I have learned so much from you. 😊❤️
Oh thanks so much for your sweet comment - it makes me so happy to hear that you can take something away from my videos ☺️💚
I chuckled when you talked about burning sage because I am one that cannot handle the smell of it and like you, find it interesting on different forums when people talk about it like if they can't use it somehow that lessens them being a practicing witch. I love your content and appreciate your videos because I always learn something. I also love the "weight loss tea" from a few videos ago, very tasty.
Thank you so much for your super kind words ☺️💚 and I am so happy to hear you enjoy the tea! I honestly think there are many people out there that just doesn't know, that you can use other plants or woods then sage / palo santo / etc. I am also one of those who can't do sage - I just don't like the smell 😁
We've had a lot of "upset" in the backyard from construction and, so, are happy to have a chance to start a small forest for deer, etc. Doing my research now in providing for critters while I put a bit aside for our treats. TYVM!
I'm so glad you came up on my feed your the best I can't stop watching you! ❣️
Ohhh welcome to the channel 💚 so happy to hear that you enjoy the videos!!
I love your channel, thank you or sharing!! your energy is wonderful
Thank you so much 🥰 happy to hear you enjoy it!
Very good info. I was working on a protection spell and used local plants. I felt it was more impactful because these plants live here with me as opposed to ordering herbs grown in other parts of the planet.
Thank you 🌼 So glad to hear you say that and that you have made a similar experience! ☺️
Yas! A new video while I make some self love and protection jars for my shop!! Recipe for a perfect day! Happy Friday!
Oh that sounds wonderful! Happy witchin' and crafting ☺️💕
This was so informative!! Thank you! So helpful for a beginner 🙏
Happy to hear that you found it helpful ☺️💚
Wonderful as always 🌿 I love working with common herbs and I'm working on learning about the plants in my new area.
Thank you 💚 my personal favourite is to work with seasonal herbs as I like to experiment throughout the year 😄
I have always loved learning about and using herbs and gardening. Now I know I'm a green witch! Thanks for your videos. Entertaining and enlightening.
It's so wonderful working with plant life, right? ☺️💚🌻 So happy you enjoyed the video!
Firstly 10k Subscribers woooooHOOOOOO Congratulations my friend (20k by mid year)!!!! The one thing I wish is that I had an outdoor area I would love to grow my own herbs but mind you I definitely have black thumb, completely hopeless at growing anything at all!!! Thanks for sharing another wonderful video on The witches' cookery Bex!!
😄🥰 thaaaank you! I was very excited to reach it - let's see what this year will bring! I had the blackest thumb for years but started with three different herbs indoors and slowly but surely I stopped killing plants 😅 definitely worth it - and I bet you could use them in a lot of recipes for some greenery to pretend it is heeeealthy 😁
Wonderful content, Bex! Always looking forward to and enjoying your posts.
Thank you so much 💚😊 I am excited to chat and cook soon again - really looking forward to hearing about the little herb tour that lady gave you hihi
I'm excited to meet-up (hopefully early April) and tell you my experience! My work schedule is changing and I'll know more this week. Not to mention I also just want to hangout with all you wonderful humans!
Thank you! Very informative.

Really interesting video! I'm already taking notes.😆🙈
Oh so glad to hear 😁🤓💚
You are life goals! 💚🌿
You are too sweet ☺️💚
Another great video! The look was priceless when you thought you were not recording
Thanks so much! It felt like a mini-heart attack 😅 the moment you think you wasted all of baby's nap time on talking to an empty room 😂
@@Thewitchescookery my heart would have stopped too! All that hard work, thank god it was still recording. I love your videos
@@Thewitchescookery is it mandatory for green witches to work with spirits? If not. How can I not work with any spirits
I think you and your presentation are wonderful and I want to know Anything and Everything you want to take the time to share….. Amen!!
Blessings To You!!!
What a lovely comment to make ❤️ thanks so much for your kind words and I hope you enjoy all the videos ☺️ bright blessings
More green witch videos! Pls and thank you ☺️ ❤️❤️
There are more in the making ☺️🌼 sometimes I also throw in some fun green witch spells and ideas into my vlogs 🌱
Bahahahhaha the look when you thought you didn't hit record 🤣🤣
😅 I was ready to cry to be honest hahah after talking for an hour
10k 👏👏👏💟
@@bravewaves6250 thaaank you 😁
@@Thewitchescookery The pain was really hahaa oh nooo 😅🤣
23:42 😂 "THEN DON'T BURN IT!!!"
😢 Yeah the years of working in the kitchen as a nutrition student really hit me in that one. My workspace was within 1 metre from the oven so the body's consciousness was constantly SQUASHED by the scent of some random herbs 😭 TANKS THANKS THANKS
At least my Taoist/Chinese background saved me with its wide collection of herbs.
I’m new here, and totally adore you! Thank you for sharing this information. 😇 can you recommend a book for me that might cover some of this info? Danke
So glad you enjoyed it! I recommend the green witch - it has wonderful information. I mention it at the very end of the video and the link should be in the description box underneath the video ☺️
Changing your sentence to avoid speaking or spelling word you are just having trouble with, yep, been there done that too 🤣 Also, as a fellow green witch.....cacti are also not in my repertoire of plants I can keep alive either LOL. Actually....house plants period. It must be outside so Mother Nature can come behind me and make sure it lives 🤣🤣🤣. Excellent video as always. Thanks for sharing!
Hahaha this! Outside anything grows but inside I can only keep plants aloive that can deal with being forgotten for a week, but that then also mind to be aslmost drowned in water xD But I am working on turning my thumb green hihi - thank you for your lovely comment 😊💚
Love this Bex! Thank you
😊 So happy to hear!
As much as I appreciate all the flowy, ethereal witch channels out there...your chaotic energy and erection jokes are much more my speed.
Hehehe thaaank you - really appreciate this comment ❤️😄
That gasp at 2:22 scared the heck outta me haha I jumped outta my seat
Hahaha sorry! I had a mini-heartattack 😀
Hello from The Philippines ❤️❤️
Hello ☺️✌️💚
Hi, nice to meet you ! 🌹
Hey, welcome to the channel 😊💚
When you paused because you thought you didn’t press record. My heart sank and I started to panic, then when you spoke I had a sigh of relief. Lol
Oh No hihi I am sorry! 😅❤️
I used to love Cunninghams books (and own 6), yet his correspondences differ greatly from what I've learned through working with plants myself.
I’m German on my mom’s side and trying to learn more about what cultural witchcraft elements I can use in my practice. Do you have a video on this?
That wonderful! Many of my videos and almost all my vlogs have elements of German folk witchcraft and lore in them (except of course the last three once, which are Spanish themed) and also my #21daystilyule series is mostly about German lore and customs ☺️
Thank you
😊
I dint burn herbs at all. I am too afraid, that something went wrong. So I use herbal infused sprays instead.
I am also aware that herbs can do harm then good it’s good to use herbs that’s why I use herbs I no my body can take each person can handle different things it’s best to go by what we no for ourselves still while learning new things
I adore your production! Where did you learn to produce and edit videos? Any suggestions for a newbie?
Thank you! ❤️ I didn't - I just wing it 😄 what I find helpful is to watch a ton of CZcams from all different niches and then see what I enjoy in terms of how films are filmed and edit and the Google how to do it
@@Thewitchescookery awesome! Any editing program you prefer? I’m a GenXer so grew up with Atari! 😂 know nothing abt editing. I DO have a Canon DSLR, though. Going to take it to the Nikon store today to see if it’s compatible with my MacBook
@@MysticArts70 I do use Adobe premier Pro as I have it as part of a student package and it is awesome because you can do everything (once you googled it for a million years haha)
@@Thewitchescookery you are SO helpful! Thank you. You really do brighten my day during a disastrous domestic issue
@@Thewitchescookery I was never a green witch. But always an animal witch. Your inspiration has led me to weed the garden my abusive ex spouse left behind! So helpful to have an app that tells me what the plants are vs weeds! 😂
Du musst unbedingt Borretsch in deinem neuen Garten ansiedeln. Er hat wunderschöne blaue Blüten um die Salatschüssel aufzupeppen. Auch Blätter lassen sich gut verarbeiten. Und einmal im Garten angesiedelt geht jedes Jahr irgendwo eine Pflanze auf. Man darf nur nicht zu viel konsumieren, ansonsten enthält er viele phantastische Inhaltsstoffe. 🌿
Oh ja auf jeden Fall! Samen sind schon bestellt - und auch für andere schön blühende Pflanzen für den Salat 😄
My cat keeps me from having houseplants. I cant even keep dried plants anywhere the he can climb and stretch up to because he will eat and destroy them. He is a menace. So frustrating for me. His most recent interest has been seeking out and destroying my lilac I had hung for protection, which is no longer blooming and cant be replaced. Like I said he is a menace.
I'm 12 and I'm not sure if my age will stop me from being a good witch btw mt parents are very supportive about it
What book do you recommend?
Cunningham should agree with you.
I got free of whatever charge. Chains came off of my heart and I was in robot and they paid her off to keep me there
Ich liebe deine Videos..Hast du auch vor dein Wissen auch auf Deutsch weiter zur geben in Videos?Das würde mich sehr freuen 🙏🥰
I don't know if you are into folk witchcraft, but do you maybe know any books or resources for german folk witchcraft?
I am totally into folk witchcraft but I don't know of any specifically folk witchcraft geared German books. I usually just like to dig in old books around local Bavarian tradition, local mythology and folk tales, rural almanacs or Volksglauben ☺️ you can find a ton of fun tidbits there
@@Thewitchescookery I'll definitely give that a try then, thank you so much!!
I hope you can help me. I’m looking for the right herbs to help me sleep,
I don’t get much a couple of hours a night. Thank you
So sorry to hear that! I actually made a video on the topic with two spells and herbal suggestions: czcams.com/video/paY1ZyR4kkM/video.html Hope that helps 😊💚
The birch had me drink it's sap when I had pancreas issues
I hope your issues are resolved now 💚🌱
When you read "getting ready to throw la chancla" you know that la chancla is powerful. 😂. Greetings from Texas.
Hahaha oh it is! Living in a half-Spanish household I am not one to underestimate its' persuasive powers 🤣
LOL whip your back. You are so funny. Thank you for voicing "my opinion." The general nature of a witch 🧙♀️ is not as a follower. We do our own thing.
Blessings my dear!
Yesyesyes couldn't agree more! Being inquisitive and learning/researching is such an important part of this IMO ☺️
What? I got Scott because it seemed like an accepted starter. Anyway, do you think there is some sort of magical "tension" between ingredients that are so far from where they grow naturally and the place they are use, it has a negative effect? I don't live where sage grows but if sage is to be used, it just seems artificial to bring it into this environment and use it because it doesn't grow here. Sort of not even close to here.
The problem with Cunningham is he writes from a British/Celtic/Germanic background, which is very narrow and limited. I prefer Arin Murphy-Hiscock's books.
@@lizhadley3803 this is all sort of confusing. I have a British and Germanic background. Has nothing to do with my choice of Cunningham. But, if that is his perspective and that is my background, he seems like a good resource for me. Or is it more, if it works use it? Apart from some incredibly distant connection, I am not feeling a connection with Asian practices, or African. Are these practices fair game, even if I personally feel no connection to them?
Very cool😃
☺️🌼
I am so sorry for asking can you diside what kind of witch you are?
Yes, you can :) but you don't have to decide on any term, if you don't want. In reality these are only descriptors for certain interests in / aspects of your craft ☺️
@@Thewitchescookery thank you soo much
Bruh watching this vid to help and all of a sudden found a secret compartment in my vintage night stand with a book of runes🤯
What an awesome coincidence 😃✨
@@Thewitchescookery OMG I never thought you would reply!!
@@_https.allyyy always 😉 (or at least I try)
You're mistaking Scott Cunningham's work. He used extensive historical references to inform his lists of correspondences, they are not his "opinion"
Exactly what I said. They are from his point of view, research and opinion :) While his works most definitely are relevant and interesting to those looking into an Celtic inspired or Wiccan approach, this research doesn't hold up when it comes to other cultures as it is one-sided ☺️
I'm into medicinal,now I want to go with magical,and I want to know does it really work?
Personal I think it depends if you want to believe in it :) I see it as a very useful placebo
@@Thewitchescookery hi,lately we have been affected alot by evil eye,can you suggest any green witchcraft as a cure?
@@homesci3596 in my culture we hang bundles of valerian in the house against 'the evil eye' 😉
@@Thewitchescookery okay I'm gonna do that,thank you very much🤗
❤👍🤩🥰
☺️❤️✌️
How do I convince my children that being a witch is nothing to be ashamed of? I believe that all the other children are making fun of them.
I have actually made a video on that topic (I believe it is called 'practicing witchcraft witch kids') . In my opinion it is not all black and white when it comes to telling other people (especially other kids - as they might not have enough capacity to reflect for themselves) 🙂
could you do a video about things a green witch need? like cloaks, or other objects???😗✨💙 i really wanna become a green witch🥺
I can try to make a video that touches upon that but to be honest, as with everything in witchcraft, you need nothing in order to do it :) no cloaks, or other equipment. Just yourself and intention 💚
00:17:56 ok, that was scary
I really want a garden but my neighbors have dogs. I don't like it
😍 I love your channel but I felt I had to correct you on the placing of ribbons on trees in Ireland 🇮🇪 the tradition is not to place ribbons on the tree but to make an offering to the tree in return of an intention....ribbons damage our trees 🌲 🙅🏻♀️please don’t do this ❤️😌
Thanks so much for this piece of knowledge! 💕 Much appreciate it! And yes, definitely true that the ribbons are not great for the environment - even though people love to hang them on trees anyways (also here in southern Germany). There are definitely more environmentally conscious ways out there 🌷🏞️
Oh man, your face!! That pit that drops in your stomach when you think you didn't record after talking for SO LONG is soooo horrible 😅 been there, too!
Hahah it is THE WORST 🤣 I have that everytime I do sit-down videos. Usually at about an hour in xD
Do you have to be a certain age to be a witch?
No, you can be a witch at any age ☺️
Hahaha I always said if sage made you sick, you are evil 😂😂😂
isn't it ridiculous even that we are "witches" because we just actually go outside😂😂😂😂
Wtf
Why you call yourself a witch?
Hang the Bible this is a good way of life
Im eating my cereal off the bible nothing more
Paise Hecate, someone else said it, not into the whole Scot Cunningham craze...in his herbal book he says that "baneful magick is the road to your demise", and I was like...nope. Not true.
I once mentioned in a Wiccan group that I did not like his book for the solitary practitioner and got a lot of people being mean to me for it, but honestly, the book was confusing and did not help me at all. I got better help through witchcraft books that were about baneful magick. Or videos from youtube. So, whatever.
Thank you for talking about plants here, I love green witchery and incorporate it into my Hedge Witchcraft. I plan to grow and harvest herbs to induce astral traveling or hedge riding, but not the dangerous flying ointments! Just whatever I feel will help under my pillow :p
edit: I also have that Green Witch book....I love it. I really do. I love working with plants, I used to be a Horticulture major in college. I wanted to learn Herbalism to help heal people. I just feel that the Green Witch book doesnt go super in depth on certain topics, but a quick google search or youtube search is helpful for in depth information. If anything, its a good introduction to Green Witchery.
