- Hello Everyone!
In this video I want to talk about how you can become a Wiccan. Of course this is a very broad topic and I will do my best to offer you my take on things. I tried to film this a couple of times just because of how difficult it was for me to be concise enough without leaving out any helpful information. Also, I am still getting used to talking to a camera and might seem a bit awkward, I am working on that! :D

I am super young (15). I was brought up in a Christian household and I never felt comfortable. I finally found Wicca and I feel myself for the first time. This video is great especially because I’m so new! Thank you ❤️
Mintyjuulpod same! Except I’m 17.
same except im 12
I know you've heard this before but I feel the same. I was brought up in a Catholic family and was brought to religious night schools. I hated it because how limited their views are on life and how the world works.
Mintyjuulpod I’m 17 and same✨

what i like about your channel is that you don't look like a crazy extravagant witch doing everything over the top, but you seem really down to earth, authentic and kind without pretending to be anyone you're not :) you're the kind of wicca I aspire to be
Thank You so much ❤️ this just really made me smile, I wish you all the best on your journey! Blessed Be ✨
i AGREE, not pretentious at all. Wiccan doesn't really mean Witchy.
Absolutely! Love this comment
I'm 12 and just discovered wicca and I'm really intrigued. In elementary I was that kid that collected leaves and berries on the playground to make "potions" and finding something like this is amazing
Oh my! i relate to you so much 😫. im twelve and ive been in the craft for around a year and let me tell you- its extremely fun!
Ooh tell me more! Would like to more about this religion
morgan lincoln what a strange coincidence... I’m in your situation right now and I’m twelve.
@@saharaxc6431 hmmm
Same! When I was 11, I was always playing with my younger friend making cool things out of mud, while I should have been playing with my agemates.
You look like Alison from ,,Pretty Little Liars'' 😹💖💜🖤💎
Lol,she relly looks like Ali
nah she looks like a mix between alison and hannah
Are you an anime fan??
@@eieiwinn4985 yeah, but actually this prof. picture is from manhwa ;)
@@WildStrawberries great job saiko wa anime!!!
thankyou for being such a lovely representation of wiccans, how peaceful and comforting it is, and i really admire the way you carry the message throughout the video. blessed be 🌒🌕🌘
i just found wiccan and found out the full moon is on my birthday and i got super excited becuase apparently its a powerful day for manifestation and just over all power.
after reading many books on Wicca and getting fairly aqquanted with all the gods/ moon phases/ signs/ sabbats/ etc, how would you actually begin on your journey? How would you start incorporating wicca into your everyday life?
When I was 16 I got a lot into wiccan and rune reading, unfortunately my mom was against it and I just stopped and forgot about it but recently I found my old rune set and I suddenly wanted to start again, hope your tips will help me to start again :)
It's a weird thing to say, but I love this video's thumbnail ❤️
Im 12 and my grandma loves stuff like this and i really wanna become wiccan so i am getting a protection necklace and wicca necklace and a spell book because i want to also be a witch
i officially respect your grandma
Hi Ella. You being traditional is one of the reasons I love learning from you. Blessed be. Love and light
Thank you very much for all the useful information! 😘 Love your channel ♥️
I love your channel so much! I just started watching but its great!!❤
Wonderful video, love you so much and you make Wicca seem so lovely and simple which is great.
Ellas like a breath of freedom 😮 😅 greatings
Your energy is so enchanting ✨
I know I’m young (11) but my father is pagan , he was Wiccan though , and I have hinted I want to be Wiccan , he told me when I’m older I can be a witch ! ( next year he will teach me ) but I want to know some tips first x Thankyou ! X
My dad is also wiccan
I also started practicing when i was 11
Thanks for the general information that you provided. I wish to learn more specific details.
Ok... do I need to start changing my room to look more natural and and feel more soothing
ArtWithMorgan make your room your sanctuary. There’s no “vibe” set in stone that any Wiccan should have. You make your surroundings however you think they will bring the most positive energy to you.
you don’t Need to , but do whatever feels comfiest . my parents are divorced and live in separate home , but both of my rooms have a more natural vibe . at my moms house , i have crystals , plants , a salt lamp , fairy lights , 3 mini tarot card tapestries , and a black and white tapestry . at my dads house , i have a zodiac tapestry , a moon phase tapestry , some more tarot card tapestry’s , a skull holding healing stones and crystals , and some darker decor . both houses have more natural stuff , and it personally makes me feel better and more at peace , but if your peace and band poster and old records and thinks , then do that ! your room should be the place that you feel most comfortable in .
Amazing. Thankyou so much for this video.❤
Thanks for your videos ! I’ve been very curious about Wicca . I 💜 nature & something about this settles with my soul . I’m very new at this but I think I’m going to try a year & a day . So keep the videos coming , they are so helpful & I feel your positive energy! 😊
I am starting a year and a day as well or will try too,and wanted to wish you good luck
I found about Wicca when I was 6 and fell in love with it my family didn’t support so I stopped and I recently got back into it I don’t care my parents think this time!
First video I’ve seen of yours and already subscribing keep sharing your magic ☺️
Love this video I learned so much ❤️❤️
I just recently found out my Mother was Wiccan, but she tried to raise me to be Christian for some reason? I'm glad I've found my path, nonetheless.
Blessed be. As in Harm none do as ye Will. As it is done. In Perfect love in Perfect Trust. Important Wiccan Tenents. Ella, I wish more Wiccans would become You Tube creators. There are more of us than most people think.
I love what you teach. Thank you so much. 🤗🤗💜💜
loved this 💕
I am a teen and I've struggled with my religion for ages but I never knew what my religion was so I decided to research it and I love crystals and witchcraft!
Your energy is shining ♥
I see energy in almost every witch iv listened to
I’m exited for more vids ❤️
I just subscribed to you! I'm so excited to watch more of your videos! You seem super sweet!
Lots of good information here, merry meet from Idaho.
Loved it ❤
Merry Meet and hello!
Hi, enjoying your videos. Nice to see you
thank you for helping w this🥺✨🥂
Thank you for your videos! I'm 50 in July and was brought up in a very Christian household. My parents are still alive. My father is quite an open-minded soul but my mother on the other hand, is extremely fixed and biased. I have always felt an immense pull towards Wicca from a very early age and as you can imagine have had to try and hide it from mother. In my teens, I acquired some books but she soon found them and burnt them! Anyway, life soon got in the way and took my attention away but deep down it has always been there bubbling up! I've even been a lifelong student of Astrology and am currently going through an online course ran by a very close friend of mine who is also a witch and conducts guided tours of Stonehenge (near where he lives!) and through him I have now regained my focus (albeit at such a late stage of life!). I look forward to your other videos! Blessed be 🌟
Your message just made me smile endlessly! Thank you so much for your kindness ❤️ wishing you all the best, blessed be ✨
Ella Harrison aww. Thank YOU! Your video content is a real inspiration! 🌟
I love your videos! I’ve been learning about Wicca and witchcraft for years now (on and off) but now I feel ready to practice, start. Thank you for all your advices. 💞 Do you know where I can learn more about spells?. Greetings for Argentina.
I want to start wicca because of my mum, she's not a wicca but she calls herself a witch cause he makes herbal remedies that cure me and my brother instantly hence why I want to become a wicca. I light up incences and candles and kind of go towards wicca things, but idk where to start.
Interesting Information in this Video. Regards.
Im becoming a wiccan i love tge video it helped me understand alot more
I can help you to acquire spiritual powers and how to cast spells and invoke spirits with the four pillars of the universe, am a kitchen witch
thank you for this! i’m growing up in a catholic household, and i cant but wiccan books, or they’ll reprimand me. videos like this are so helpful! 🤍
Honestly, I struggle with my mental health a lot, and the past couple years have been extremely rough in particular, but I've recently found my way back to spirituality & Wicca, and it's worked wonders since then. Love your channel.
Thank you!
Omg ur English has improved so much 💘
Thanks 😅🙏🏼 It’s actually just me being less awkward in front of the camera, for whatever reason I get a German accent when I am talking to the camera which I don’t actually have in real life (at least that’s what my friends told me)
Just starting Wicca so ur video is very informative
Thank you! I just posted a recent video with an updated Wicca video too
Wow starting my one year and one day on 2/22/22🖤
Keep us updated! I’ve started today :)
You’re so beautiful. I like the hair
The music is lovely
I love it too! That’s usually what I have playing ❤️
Btw, I love your videos and have binge watched them all ❤❤❤
Me and a few members of my family are wiccans and a few of our family friends as well while I have three sisters my older half sister and I are second generation wiccans thank for the videos I consider myself a lime green witch green for life and herbs and loving nature and white for love peace and spiritualness I’m also on the Buddhist path so I’m planning on putting the two together they literally can’t be more perfect for each other and BLESSED BE TO ALL

@@victoriamieetcruz6267 What's a kitchen witch?
thank you beautiful being
ugh you’re so pretty!! although I’m not interested in Wicca I seriously enjoy watching your videos!
I feel like I can't do anything! I cant concentrate on just one thing, i'm always moving around to the point of never getting anything done :( I dont think ill ever be a real witch-
you will! don't let your adhd stop you
I'm hyperactive as well and concentrate or emptying the mind is really impossible, but that doesn't mean you can't be a witch
Will you be doing a Sabbat video for Lammas?
Love your channel 🖤
Katie
I am a bit behind with all the Sabbat videos but yes, I will be making a video for each one ❤️🙏🏼
I’m a Wiccan and a witch.
i am unsure if i want to become a witch or wiccan i am a young (12) christian. but always been interested in this stuff i don't want to cause any harm to other people and the enviroment but be able to do spells and some craft of witchcraft i want to make sure about everything before i dedicate myself to these thing and am unsure could you give any tips please
you can be both in the same time! wicca is a religion and witchcraft is a practice and they go really well together, a big portion of wiccans are actually witches, like she said the best way to start is just by keeping a BOS (book of shadows) and write down EVERYTHING, every little thing you learn about any spiritual practice and that will give you a solid base and something to refer back to. easy basic topics that you can start reserching first include: the 5 elements (earth, air, fire, water and spirit), the moon cycle and its meaning, herbs, plants, crystals, animals, insects... and their meaning, gods and godesses, the months, seasons, days of the week an their meaning, simple spells (START WITH A PROTECTION SPELL) and things related to the zodiac signs if that's your thing (in no particular order except maybe start with the elements/zodiac signs and a protection spell once you get to trying those out)
i hope this was helpful to you or to anyone else reading this :)
Very nice
💜💜💜💜
Where can I find more information on Wicca and on becoming a Wiccan? I’m interested in this and would love to learn.
So I’ve been watching your videos a lot today, trying to figure out if I want to go on this path. And I think I do, anyways I was heading outside and like a bug just hits the top of my head then flies off. It scared me at first but is that a sort of sign? I’m not sure it could always be a normal bug but it has me thinking :)
Hi Ella I hope you are well and I hope to seek guidance or advice from you. (Sorry if this makes no sense)
So I had gotten into Wicca about eight months ago and I have learned as I went on. I have created an Altar, gotten crystals, made a BOS but I feel that I am missing signs. I have not been able to do much such as learning to meditate or celebrating The Wheel Of The Year do to not having the ingredients for a ritual or not having any way of celebrating it such as burning a Yule Log, Doing a Spring Ritual for Ostara, or anything like that. I want to know if what I am doing is still a good thing. I ask advice or guidance from you and hope that you can help me out during this situation. If not I totally understand and thank you for your time! BB and thank you!
I have the same issue to! I just can’t access all the ingredients:/
Of course you can still be a Wiccan even if you don’t do certain rituals etc! If you have a calling to Wicca, then really that is all you need. It’s much more about intention than buying tools or doing rituals :) and I personally have also missed loads of Sabbats over the years because of time issues, so don’t worry xx
EllaHarrison okay thank you! xx
@@EllaHarrison Thank you kindly Ella, may this Earth bless you of your kind sweet soul! Blessed Be!
🖤
hi ella! im your subscriber/viewer from the philippines. what type of wiccan are you? how many years before a wiccan becomes a high priest/priestess? how about becoming a coven, how many years?
I always go to bed being scared that someone will break into my house and kill me... so I want to be able to learn to protect myself.
Loved the video but can you pls let me know where you got your glasses!! I've been looking for a frame like that!
I got them from Fielmann, they are by Ralph Lauren and I got this exact pair from the Fielmann shop on Brivibas Iela in Riga 😁 I am not sure if they have the exact ones but I went there recently and they have similar ones (that are also cheaper because they aren’t Ralph Lauren)
What happens if you feel like you went the traditional way but lost just because I need guideness?
I am new to Wicca, and I was wondering if anyone has books recommendations and or good ideas for topics to research
Would you be able to recommend a book to start 'journey' with Wicca? Thank you
I have a book recommendation video for that 😁
So I have known about wicca for a while now but I haven't properly got into it. Meditation really hurts my head and I can't to it... I also have a horrible memory. I am a solitary witch do you have any tips or sources?? Anyone can answer this lol
I’m 13 and I saw stuff about Wicca in a book and was sort of intrigued. I was brought up in a Christian household and I never really believed in it. Sort of recently, my younger brother mentioned that he doesn’t really believe either, even if he knows there’s something or someone out there. I was always the kid who would go and collect things and make “potions” (or me and my brother used to make magic soup). I want to learn more about this but I don’t know where to start or what it involves. Can someone please help me?
I don’t know much but simple yt vids and books can help further discoveries about pagans and or Wiccans let’s learn together I’m also a young teen :) 🌒🌕🌘
You are really cute!🙏🏻🤍
I am thinking about starting my wiccan path but i am seeing alot of people saying not too as it has cultural appropriation and do not know what to do
hey, i have a question. can i have my book of shadows in other languages? like do i have to use my native language?
for example, i was born in czech republic so, do i have to write my book of shadows in czech or can i write it in english?
you can write it in whatever you want!! it’s up to you, it’s your PERSONAL book of shadows!
Girl I added you on insta. Thought I had wrong account haha
I have a question, I don't know much about Wicca so please no hatred, I wanted to ask when doing spells what is it like I know or think I know it's not like in movies 😂 where you float or teleport or all that but I wanna know what it's like
It’s not like in movies where you float, but a lot of times you might feel a lot of energy, and I often have goosebumps during spellwork, and after usually a feeling of content
@@EllaHarrison oh that makes a lot of sense thank you!
I am 11 years old. (Young, I know.) and I started to learn about Wiccan and really got into it. I want to have an altar, but my family is Christian, and they are against Wicca. What should I do?
Clare Elizabeth Thank you SO much! I appreciate you!
I can help you to acquire spiritual powers and how to cast spells and invoke spirits with the four pillars of the universe, am a kitchen witch
Is there an age limit on Wiccan because I'm thinking of it but I'm not entirely sure because of how I'm so young, but I have seen people being Wiccan and feel kind of a pull towards it? If that makes sense but i do feel like it
You can be wiccan at any age but the most recommended is 12. Though I would avoid using magick til your at least 13
I’m a Christian but don’t believe in god but believe in spirits and spiritual energy and healing I have that ability but want to learn magic always been interested in it
....doesn't sound like you're Christian
someone please help me! my parents are split so i go back and forth from houses, can i still practice ?
kristyn ツ you Can have a travel set^^
I’m so confused with some of this. I resonate so much with so many things in Wicca, but I really gravitate towards worshipping Gaia/gaea. Can you worship any goddess?
I have a new video on ‘What is Wicca’ which could help! But yes as a Wiccan you can certainly work with Gaia
I'm Brazilian, I would like you to put the option of caption in Portuguese so I can understand your words, I'm a new one registered in the channel .. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My name is Elle Harrison
My cousins name is ella Harrison (same as u)
My sisters name is em Harrison :)
I just learn about Wiccan and I’m so confused about all this. But im really interested and i wanna try learn about everything that has to do with being a witch but idk where to being can someone guide me?
You might want to watch my ‘Wicca for Beginners’ video, or of course just have a browse through CZcams in general :)
Ella Harrison okay thank you!
HELP!!! nothing works out for me lately, rituals, spells or offering to my spirit guids. Im afraid that the symbolisms are telling me to stop with wicca, but i love it. Can someone help me a little? im worried!!
it might be that your not believing enough in your heart, you have to truly believe for it to work
@@lunaleeofficial and how do I do that?
@@rwbyafton6857 believe! focus on the energy and truly believe its going to work! its as simple as that.
@@lunaleeofficial Thanx😄:3
@@rwbyafton6857 a witch once told me, study study study.
Im not sure if this will get a response but ive recently gotten into witchcraft and researched a bunch on wicca and the only thing i dont align with would be worshiping any god or goddess but i do believe in everything else about wicca and im not sure if that still qualifies as wicca so can someone please help me😅
I already have my book of shadows and im really enjoying it and ive found that im really drawn to crystals so im really excited to try that
Yes you can still be wiccan, you don't have to believe in any deity. Many wiccans identify as atheists
Hi i have a question , i was wondering if it really works and if anyone can do it ?
Yes anyone could do it and it’s all about your intentions!
Which is the favorite sacrificial animal for wiccas?
Wiccans don’t sacrifice animals (generally speaking, there may be exceptions which I am not aware of)
You said in one of your videos that you can be wiccan and not practice magic. I'd like to know more about what that practice might look like. Do you have any suggestions?. Thanks.
So I need to preface this with saying that I do not hold that believe anymore as I did in that video - however, because I feel like magick is inherently around us, to me to have any spiritual practice means you are likely to practice magick in some way, even if its not ceremonial. So my suggestion would be to instead of focusing on ceremonial magick which is traditional in Wicca, to seek out the more mundane magick of meditation, connecting with spirits, using techniques of manifestation
Thanks for replying I was just curious. I like to learn about different spiritual paths to my own.
@@ShatteredRippleBooks absolutely! I think especially with this it’s very much up to personal believe
I dont know if this comment section is still alive but i have a big question
In my language where's almost nothing about wicca (spells, covens, rituals)
I don't say that there is nothing, it's just so little and I feel like it's not enough for me
What should I do?
I would suggest researching it more online and if you are able too then in English - however you may find more information on folk practices and witchcraft that is not Wicca-specific in your culture
To be Wiccan do I need to be in a ceremony ? I have a mentor teaching me to be old ways of wicca
Traditionally speaking you need to be initiated into Wicca, there is a hierarchy essentially- lots of people now a days don’t anymore, as not everyone has a Coven near them or they just dabble in it to see if they like it
hello l g b t q communiteee
Also, are you Latvian? I'm from Daugavpils!
I am Kiwi/German but lived the past for years In Latvia for my studies (LU Anthropology) ❤️ My fiancé is Latvian though 😁🙏🏼
Ella Harrison The accent sounded either German or Scandinavian! I thought i recognized it! That’s so interesting 💗
Hello, I like your video very much very informative. However, I think you accidentally left one thang out that may confuse people the one year and one day why it is one year and one day.. one year to study and one day for the initiation ritual. I think you left that part out kind of important, but I’m sure others can figure it out with research!!
How do I join a coven? Brand new.
how to be a witch?

Hi Ella! 😊
Can i ask you something?
If ok to you.
Thanks.....
Do Wiccans work with Lucifer, Azazel or Astarte?
No not traditionally
@@EllaHarrison Thank you for letting me know. I'm curious and want to do a followup, do you ever see people who work with those beings are bad people and sacrifice animals and humans like that?
@@dmana3172 There's no animal sacrifice in Wicca 🙂
As a beginner how do i start?
I have a recent video on what is wicca, and a playlist dedicated to starting out as well 😁
@@EllaHarrison oh thanks i will check it out
