Hi
YOOO!
Yey
@@seems_goodlol be nice :(
How is Anthony finding so many categories of people to spend days with? It is literally neverending content lmao
Human diversity
There's a lot of people from lots of different walks of life with lots of different ideas and beliefs, no two people are the same so there will never not be some new culture or belief or ideology to explore
I mean it's easy to find people who are different. People liking different foods is a form of diversity. He could make a video like "speaking to people who live in apartments" and could have them speak about how it's diffrent from living in a house lol
OK DONT READ MY NAMES!๐!.!
@@MbitaChizi ok
Honestly I was feeling a little skeptical until Anthony and Thorn did a spell together and I totally got it. Making an active decision and putting your energy into a wish will definitely have an impact. It can't cure cancer or anything, but doing a spell to have a good day or to feel successful in the coming months? That totally makes sense.
Itโs a very peaceful view of it, Iโm a little interested now, I could use some positivity
Exactly why I got into it haha
I was always like โUgh itโs so stupidโ but now โMan even if my crystals donโt do anything, theyโre pretty. So who caresโ
You forget that many out of the people who will try this will start believing in it. This is when it starts to be a problem. People believing in these powers and investing so much out of their effort in it and also trying to convert others.
@@AnGrYGrEeKGuY k
I actually identify as Wiccan but Iโm in much the same boat as you! I find my views of my practice to be agnostic in that I donโt truly know if itโs real or not, but I continue to do it because I know it at least helps me in a therapeutic way. If I wake up one morning with complete clarity of its falseness I still wonโt regret the time Iโve spent on it because it has shown results in some way even if it was just hope and placebo effect
now we need a day with WITCHES WHO AREN"T WICCAN that'd be so slay
Honestly I wanna see that too! Like pick from each religion. Iโm down to see half and half. Like me Iโm Wiccan and Hellenistic
Yeah from personal experience I had a really bad time with wiccans when i was 18 i tried to get into the religion and honestly it was mostly just people roleplaying had nothing to do with casting spells infact most wiccans i know will only maybe try a spell once every like 7 years, and a lot of wiccans are very much like Christians in terms of how they believe in certain diety's ect and why i say their like Christians is cause they worship them pretty much the same way.
Now witches i met outside of wiccans are honestly a lot more fascinating to me cause many are heavy practioners they don't just do it every sunday ect. (not saying all wiccans do that but just ones I knew)
That already happened. Anthony Padilla's "I spent a day with real witches." It's just as great as this video! Though I wouldn't mind him doing another one!
@@chloej1611 yeah ive seen that one and the Satanist one, i hope we get a bit more cause honestly the field is pretty big in terms of people you can meet.
right. Nobody ever interviews a secular witch for instance. Not all witches belief in gods or work with them. But the fact that everyone just talks abt. wiccan witches or witches working with gods a lot of beginner witches feel like they need to do that too.
Are we not going to talk about how badass it is that Phyllis has been an open witch since the 80s? That early photo of her was so stunning I got chills.
I think it would be really cool if Anthony did โI spent a day with survivors of the troubled teen industryโ. Itโs a serious issue that doesnโt get talked about enough.I personally went to wilderness therapy, and I would love to see more people talking about this issue.
Yes
Chad from 8 passengers
-practically anyone but the "catch me outside" gurl-
just replying to this comment to boost the probability of people seeing it because I agree it is a really important issue that should be talked about more and it would be great if Anthony could use his platform to bring awareness to how awful and damaging that industry really is.
'troubled teen industry' ? as in, those summer camps for 'problem' children?
yes.

They also human traffick children to do... yeah
Stay away from them at all costs
A lot of them are very rich and some are in hollywood with connection. The fact hes letting them have a platform is either due to
1. Ignorance
2. He made a deal (money)
3. Hes decided to work for them
4. Hes become one of them at some point
Thorn hit the nail on the head: we're all weird in our own ways. Our task is to learn to embrace and celebrate our collective weirdness and understand that the weird that works with you may not be the weird that works with me, but that is totally ok. What is never ok is using your weirdness as a tool to abuse others. Basically, do you unless "you" is an asshole.

As a non-wiccan witch I find this super interesting! I don't know a lot about Wicca so it was cool to learn more about it. I loved the demonstration of intuitive spell work!
Can you tell me the difference between wiccan and witch? I'm curious about this because also I want to open my heart to the love and energy and continue my spiritial journey. ๐
@@CatherineDoII I'm a witch but not a Wiccan. Wiccans have a set belief system, they have a specific way of casting spells and they do have 'Craft Laws,' like hexing/curses are frowned upon, and normally they are atheistic in nature (agnostic.) I am a pagan witch, and my spells are used as a form of worship toward a deity. I don't follow any Craft Laws, it means I do hexes and curses through my deity, which protects me. Sooooo I guess in simple terms, Wiccan is a religion, witch is a practice hints at the name "Witch-Craft" it's a craft.
@@rebeccawest3608 Thank you for taking your time to answer me so in-depth. This sounds something I would like to learn too.
@@CatherineDoII Wicca is a religion whereas witchcraft is a craft. Non-wiccan witches can be any religion, have any belief system, and practice however they want unless they follow another tradition that says otherwise. Wicca is a religion with a set belief system and set ways of doing things.
I am a witch, but I am not Wiccan. I'd consider myself a pagan and an animist. You do not have to be Wiccan or pagan to be a witch. Hope this helps!
off topic i just wanted to say hi to a fellow once haha
Honestly, Iโm Muslim and Iโm very open to learning more about religions/beliefs. It makes me happy and honestly this was very interesting
Wow you have to be the 2% of Muslims who are open to learn about other people who view differently in life.
At least I know I'm not alone
@@Shadow2pointO There are many non-fanatical Muslims. Heck, there are queer Muslims. Unfortunately, many of them live in the Middle east. But more and more are fleeing to other countries where they can be safe and rid themselves of the toxicity of the faith.
โ@@Shadow2pointO 2%is generous. It's more like 0.001%
@@Shadow2pointO I wonder how many Muslims you have known well or even had a seriously conversation with. If you really think it's 2% that shows that you yourself aren't really 'open to learn about other people who view differently in life'. 'Seek knowledge even if it be in China' said the prophet Muhammad.
It's not just the birthday candle wishing. It's also prayer, meditation and even counseling. You're internally focusing on something and usually coupling it with some kind of action.

So my mom is Wiccan. She never really did any of the spell stuff or talked about it all to much (she was very reserved on exposing me to religion, although she did teach me about Christianity a bit.) But one thing that we always did (and still try to do) is have bonfires on the Solstices and Exquinoxes. It was a way to mark the change of seasons and a way to sort of pay attention and reflect on the world around you. At least that's the way I look at it.

OK DONT READ MY NAMES!๐!.!OK DONT READ MY NAMES!๐!.!
And both have nothing to do with Satan
@@darkljs I love the representation. People who are Luciferian worship lucifer or follow him as a symbol instead of satanists, who are an atheistic religion. As someone who is beginning my journey as a pagan I love hearing the different perspectives and opinions from different people
@@darkljs That's aaalmost accurate. The name "Satanism" does come from Satan, because Satanists have their own interpretation of him and hold him as an important symbol. The thing is that most Satanists don't actually worship him as if he is or was ever a real person or being. Of course beliefs vary, but most believe in Satan/Lucifer as a particular collection of human traits (like rebellion against and liberation from religious authority, self-love and acceptance, rational thought, pursuit of knowledge, among other things) and we can "call upon him" from within to empower ourselves. While Wicca isn't directly tied to Satan, originally most witches were thought to be pagans doing the Devilโs work. Many were simply natural healers or so-called โwise womenโ whose choice of profession was misunderstood. So there's obviously a gigantic Biblical and historical connection between witchcraft and the idea of Satan. But yeah, the most important take-away is that the Christian idea of Satan as pure evil does not reflect neo-pagan beliefs
@@artiekirby8826 hey, just to let you know luciferians donโt worship the โliteral devilโ they worship Lucifer. in christianity these may be the same thing, but they actually have very distinct differences. itโs the difference between worshiping evil incarnate or the โlight bringerโ. Lucifer (also known as the morning star) is a symbol of liberation and the pursuit of knowledge. of course, beliefs vary so some worship him as a being while others follow him as symbolism. all in all, i understand where youโre coming from as i made the same mistake when i first started out :)
(edit): ik it sounds similar to satanism, and thatโs bc it is, i just donโt really know how to explain the differences without writing a whole essay๐
Thank you so much for treating Wiccans like me with respect. I'm so used to a negative reaction, that I've stopped trying to tell people.
Well strap in baby, cuz you will have to deal with the reactions to be true to yourself. Its that or live in the broom closet and thats a real stifling Life.
As someone who not only comes from a spiritual family and also been wiccan since the age of 16, everything these women spoke about is 100% spot on. Being a witch doesn't mean I am satanic or crazy or do blood rituals and such. I was named after Kassandra, daughter of Troy, and for as long as I can remember everything I have predicted came true. Even today the more I work on and explore my wiccan and spiritual side, the more open I feel. Thank you Anthony for covering this!
Everything? Doubtful....and I guess you're at most early 20's. Ive been practicing for 35 plus years, and I've learned that we follow different paths and practices and so therefore believe should only speak for oneself Because, to start, i find the greatest misconceptions of being q a witch, is 5hat as a male i cant possibly be one, or the word is not applicable to being a male witch. So right there, not 100%
Love seeing these older Wiccans speak as a young Wiccan myself. It's a beautiful art form and style of spirituality that I'm so happy Anthony chose to learn about and share with more people. Our goal is to connect with the world, with other people, and with ourselves in the most honest and open way we can and I thank Anthony and the people here for taking the time to learn about it

@@chunghung7951 People with these delusions can and have hurt people.
Being a witch is so opposite of what people think it is. Itโs all about peace, love protection and happiness. Itโs to protect your loved ones and using urban plants and teas to come to your true self and live a more empowered and fulfilling life
i agree and disagree, i am not a wiccan but a pagan. There are however plenty of rituals and spells that could be used for bad. But i like to believe that the majority is a good witch/pagan
And to love and appreciate nature.
Nit all Witches are peaceful. Nit all witches practice the same way. Not all witches. Are "finding themselves"...it's better to say being a witch for me is the opposite ... because my Path is not the same as yours.. so therefore to say witches as in the general applies to me to when it doesn't..
I'm sorry you've been taught to think this, it simply isn't true. I practiced witchcraft for over 20 years. I started out as a Gardnerian wiccan and later I became an eclectic witch and a Celtic pagan. Over time it took a dark turn when I made a pact with my then goddess to protect a family member. After three nights of chanting in tongues she told me she wanted two of my organs. A year later, I was in the hospital with organ failure both in my gallbladder and pancreas. For a week I lay in the hospital while the doctors were stumped, they couldn't find out what was wrong with me. They performed surgery on my pancreas first, they had to cut some of it away. Then they removed my gallbladder. While I was in the hospital I prayed to my goddess and all I saw was empty blackness. Earlier that day my cousin and her husband came by and held my hand and prayed to Jesus, and I thought, well, they mean well. And after seeing the black void, I prayed to Jesus for the first time in 20 years and felt guilty because I was betraying my goddess. I remained a pagan witch for a year after the surgery. While laying in bed pondering over my life, I decided to give Catholicism another try. Returning to the Church was a heluva culture shock, but over time I got used to it. So, now I'm going to teach you one thing that I learned through being a pagan witch. I had great faith and beautiful love for my deity and the craft, (before it tried to attack me). When I returned to the Catholic Church I applied that same natural love and faith to Jesus. In fact since I've returned, that love and faith grew so much that it gushes out and I find myself wanting more. I have love for the Catholic Church, which is the very institution Jesus founded. It's only been about 2 years since I've come back and I've learned so much, yet I feel that there's a lot more I need to experience in my life and faith in Jesus. I turned 50 just a few months ago, and I wish I knew way back then what I know now. So, I'm talking to you now, not being condescending in any way that you're going to regret this path. It's not a matter of if, but when. Are you going to be as old as I am when you realize the mistake? Or are you going to be smarter than I am and change now while you're still young?
This turned out to be a lot longer than I thought, so I apologize for the rambling.
Anthony, I love this video and how open minded you are. The general respect you have for the people in your videos restores my faith in humanity.
In the span of a few years, I started collecting trinkets and things to put on my shelf. Little did I know, I was unintentionally creating an altar. It felt very natural and I was simply gravitating towards a practice of magick. I don't have a structured practice. When I perform a ritual, I see it as self-care through intentions: taking a moment out of a busy, hectic life to focus on myself. ๐
Can u please explain why this is an alter? Iโm curious
@@onigirisenpai8633 Calling things sacred is practically the same thing as calling things really important to you. So to put things that matter to you on a pedastal, is essentially the same thing as creating an altar
what does magick mean vs magic? just interested bc i've never seen it spelt like that before and am wondering if they're diff things!
@@kristinag1311 it just separates stage or performance magic from the spiritual practice of magick
unrelated but shoutout to all of the pagans/wiccans/witches who donโt make fun of me for being Christian. thank yโall. God bless and Jesus loves yโall!
I'm pagan and practice old and folk magic. While i don't believe everything about wicca I think it's cool you are so open to magic. People think it's like Harry Potter. It's not.
My matron goddess is Hekate and my patron is Lucifer (the roman version, not Abrahamic). I've never felt more at peace then when I work with my gods and goddesses. It's like therapy to worship them and they have helped me through meditation soooo much. Literal life saving religion

You did amazing on your spell pouch!! Without her giving any directions you grabbed many items most spell lists will ask for! Thank you for this video for youโve brought on two very good representations and they gave amazing explanations.
he does his research before this is why i find anthony a very reliable source
I FULLY vibe with Thorn!!! I have always looked at my spellwork and tarot as a psychological working. In spellwork, that's a reminder for me to put in the effort towards whatever that spell was for. I usually place them around the house in places I know I'll see them. And for tarot, I believe that what my initial thoughts on the reading are is a look into my subconscious and a window to how I really feel about a situation.
Thorn is a great writer as well!
Meh, Im a traditional witch, I follow the Old Ways and practice Voodoo, I guess for some its psychological but my craft actually has results that are beyond the material realm.
@@Prince_the_One and I fully respect that! I do feel a connection to something beyond me, I currently feel it more as the universe.

Love this! I am not a Wiccan, but I am a witch. If only Christians accepted us as much as we accept them... If only they knew that the majority of their beliefs and practices derive from paganism... Maybe one day we won't be misjudged and demonized. I appreciate videos like this.
Very well said Ivy! ๐ค
It seems to me that people seem to put negativity on things they don't understand. One of the biggest misconceptions that witchcraft is a religion which it is not. Witches are from all kinds of religions. But due to closed minded population of people it is viewed as a negative.
@@tammyporte755 I've legit had people ask me questions such as "Yo do you eat babies" and "Can you fly?" And the funniest thing that happened to me among these was when a guy suddenly pulled up a weird sentence to me "Please don't curse me. We're friends Ok?" bish what?
Wiccans accept Christians? Really? Oh my goodness. I agree that many Christian beliefs are pagan, that's why I am a Seventh-Day Adventist. We dismiss the pagan in Christianity (introduced by the Catholic Church) and abide by the Bible and Bible alone! I suggest looking into it.

People really are fascinating. So many different experiences and ways of thinking.
What is the difference between a Wiccan and witch?
@@krisj5561 to be honest not that much, some wiccans believe in Deities/Godโs/Goddesses some do not, some do spells and rituals, some do not! Same as witches (but witches do do spells/ rituals) there are many different deities but if you know your heritage itโs those deities you follow; if you donโt know your heritage then whatever feels right. Some witches donโt do deities/Godโs/Goddesses. Sorry I know itโs a lot hope it makes sense lol
@@krisj5561 The person above literally said "Not that much". No, there is a difference. Wiccan is a person who practices Wicca which is a religion. Wicca does not necessarily integrate practices of witchcraft but Wiccans often practice them together. Wicca can also mean witch yes but in this case it's important to be precise so people understand. A Witch doesn't have to follow Wicca as there are many forms of witchcraft out there.
@@whokwnos7648 I'm sorry you did not explain well.
I wasn't really understanding much of this at all until Anthony and Thorn performed their spell. I loved that and I feel like even if it's just psychological it would for sure make you feel better about your days. And I think they explained it perfectly; even the process of making it could make you feel better. Like good luck charms and keepsakes.
It's just a little something to help you feel strong, calm, grounded. You can understand yourself more and what you want by saying these things out loud and concretely, and it's a nice little time to yourself that you can hold on to during the day. It's lovely. I have a cousin who does spells like this and it really helps with his mental health and anxieties.
This was very thought provoking to watch. I really love learning about all kinds of people's beliefs. You really had some lovely guests for this episode, love their positive energy. Very informative and loved getting to see how you are welcoming of their beliefs. Great video as always Anthony!

As a practicing witch, I loved getting to hear others journeys in their spirituality and what their beliefs mean to them. What I practice is about setting intentions and creating positive energy in my environment and within myself.

It would be tough. Worth it, but very tough.
Iโve also been diagnosed with MDD, I think itโll be informative to see how others manifest these symptoms and how frequently itโs easy to misdiagnose someone with other disorders
@@RedSpade37 wait i was also dx with MDD, but they deduced my "psychotic features" to bipolar and BPD. and yes, it'd be difficult to talk about, but I'd still love to do an interview
"I spent the day with vampires" would also be a fun video! Look into the Vampire Court of Austin, TX :)

YESSSS
I would have written on that sheet of paper "You will not charge me for this interview" and stuffed it in the bag while looking her in the eye. You missed your chance, @AnthonyPadilla!
i would really like to see some more interviews on people with mental health issues. i think it would be cool to see how other people deal with it. keep up the good work and thank you for making these โคโคโค
I saw wiccans in the title and practically flew over here on my broomstick
I was very nervous for this video because I am a witch with certain Wiccan beliefs. I trust Anthony but what made me the most nervous was the comments. I have not read many of them but the ones I have read really made me smile. I am glad that many people, even if they do not believe, are understanding enough to say "Oh, this is cool. I understand it." Thank you, Anthony for the care and judgement-free videos you always make!
Very enjoyable video! So refreshing to see an interviewer getting involved and asking questions without pulling faces etc and Phyllis and Thorn answered the questions perfectly on behalf of our community
I'm Christian But I love learning about others religions. The most important thing about religion to me personally is as long as your doing it with a positive mindset about it doesn't hurt anyone or intent to harm. Not everyone who is in a religion is a bad person, just as there is bad and good christians. We may not see eye to eye but we can all still get along :)
Like we all should
.
Yea
Being innocent surely hurt alot of people around you even if it not your intent... that why you should learn to stay away from thing you know to little about or are mislead even those they look harmless. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
I was a rock kid too! I love your outlook on learning about different communities and topics and sharing it with us. It is very refreshing and interesting!
Same. Rocks are the best ๐
@@RavenXWritingdesk So would you say that they...rock?
(sorry, couldn't resist. On that sediment-I mean , sentiment, I shall take my leave.)
@@alim9160 Rock collection is simply geo-logical
I am a recent 'converted' pagan. I don't necessarily practice strictly or worship a god/goddess, so I would say I am pagan in nature. "I'm pagan in belief but not in practice" is kinda what I say.
I'm still in that Christians raised mindset that if I branch out and try to connect or worship a god on my own, and do it wrong, i'll be punished for doing so.
But it was wonderful to see Anthony get to try something new and he seemed to have fun! I hope to see more spirituality stuff like this in the future!!
I'm still in that mindset too, you aren't alone and you aren't wrong for exploring your options. I know just how hard it can be. It's taken me 2 months to read the Poetic Edda's...I'm still trying
I'm Hellenic Pagan, since I was 15 so 12 years now. I want you to know that Pagan Gods are very human, and they understand intention well. While I personally don't think it's possible to "get it wrong" I want to reassure you that when you are ready and reach out to whichever gods call on you, they will understand your timid nature and lack of experience. They are guides and they do it well. May the gods be with you even now!
@@Veleno_Innocente yeah! Thank you, I'm not in a community where paganism is very strong or openly expressed so it's hard to really connect with others about it or even talk about it. I've been very lucky to have an immediate family that is accepting! I'm getting there and I'm glad you've progressed through these same struggles! All we can really do is keep trying.
@@JinsolLee thank you! It's always a comfort to know that Gods understand and are there to guide and help. I know of a few that i've always had strong attraction to, and gravitate towards (I've got a few smaller figurines that I am attached to and can't seem to leave behind, and I take them on trips with me always) and have started to do small things and branch out to do things that would 'honor' them or what they stand for and condone I guess, if that's the right word. Anubis is a God I've felt strongly attached too and I try to show respect to the dead and graves even. I try to incorporate little things like that in my life :) It's all progress and it's slow, but I always feel good when I do them!
@@livvyreidenbach6292 I always remember that "just because I didn't worship today like I did yesterday, doesn't mean the gods are upset." I bet Anubis is overjoyed to see these little baby steps! I have bad mental health and chronic pain. I stopped feeling guilty over giving offerings and felt assured that the gods understand that I'm struggling to look after myself, and so that is the priority. So if I can manage lighting a candle for Chaos or Apollo, then that's a win! Little things are just as celebrated. I hope this helps your feel more secure in your connection with the gods and Anubis.
I grew up doing a Wiccan prayer before bed, slowly building a toolbox of stones and crystals, and doing spells with my mom. It's nice to see that people are more open to it now. I always had to hide it as a kid. I've been learning Tarot the last 2 years because it was one element I didn't learn when I was younger. It really is all about setting an intention that will help you be in the right mindset to achieve your goal not doing a spell that will do the work for you.
This is great! I love your videos and I love seeing things like this positively represented cause there are so many people who miss understand other peoples beliefs and are really cruel and unkind about it. If you're not hurting anyone I don't think people should try and force their beliefs on to you...
Woah i have a feeling this is gonna be a great video
FINALLYYYY i was waiting for this!!! I'm a witch myself and always misunderstood
OK DONT READ MY NAMES!๐!.!

I agree, Iโve never met anyone who really tried or wanted to understand ๐
BURN THE WITCH
I have to agree as a fellow kindred, but Wicca is rather specific in the broad spectrum of witchcraft
This is it. This is the one that got me to subscribe. I loved Anthony's approach to the whole thing. He was respectful and open. And the witches were very wise with their explanations. Mad respect.
Been doing a fair bit of research about Wicca as of late, mainly looking for inspiration about how to write the magic system in a book I'm working on, it was really nice to hear some about it through this! It's seriously fascinating, and it's really not as outlandish as people think; belief in what you're doing, even if it's a placebo, can genuinely help people, after all.
I've been getting into Wicca and now this! So cool!
DONT READ MY USERNAME
I totally recommend Thorn's book "Traditional Wicca: A Seeker's Guide". If you enjoyed Thorn here and are interested in Wicca, it's 100% worth picking up.
Me too! I have been drawn to it for years but have only recently become more serious about (now that I no longer live with my family) and just continuing to feel this peace with it.
Love the waterfall analogy and thank you for this interview. Beautiful. ๐
i love this episode so much, because i followed wicca when i was young and carried its ideals with me through high school and college even when i was no longer practicing. i was smiling real big at anthony making his own spell bc i remembered making my first spells. :) thanks for this one
Love your content Anthony and how itโs always the same yet so different I would love to see one about paranormal investigators and theyโre experiences. โค
Hey, fellow rock kid here! Also a shy follower too, but I wanted to say that I'm very thankful to you and your team for giving a voice to so many different people on this channel. You're doing something very special here and from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
While I was brought up Catholic, my mom was very supportive of my creative and spiritual endeavors, so she still let me use her decorative vases for mixing spells and potions as a kid too. As soon as I saw this video pop up in my notifications I had to stop to watch, and now I'm off to go show it to my friends
This is so cool, especially with all the common negative ideas and beliefs uneducated people place on these amazing humans. This video is super great to explore and explain the whole idea of Wiccans, Thanks Anthony for another great video! ๐
DONT READ MY USERNAME
I'm a pagan witch and share a lot of the same beliefs as wiccans! Its incredible how respectful Anthony is with these interviews and thank you for this video!
I LOVE that Thorn and Phyllis were the guests on this one. They are such pillars of the community
2 videos in a week is a gift!
Such impactful words about magic being an art. As long as weโre partaking in the process and we are enjoying that, the outcome does not matter as much.
As a Wiccan I love this!
Loved learning about this. I feel like this channel does a great job at finding voiceless things in society that are often taboo and teaches you from a tangible person what it is really about. Not what you've heard, what you've read, what you've been taught but actually from the people firsthand who are in it every day. I hope this show positively resonates in pop culture more than it already has.
Loved this video! All the Wiccan panelists really spelled it out so well and clarified what magick really is about. :)
having these conversations with an open mind and letting those who practice it without judgement is great as a non wiccan witch myself loved this video thank you anthony!
literally canโt stop watching this content so many different groups of people heโs spent a day with. so much information you wouldnโt know without coming directly from these groups
Everyone in this video was wonderful. I loved it
Iโm interested in the fact that you did this. Thank you for talking to my sisters about this. We practice so much more and are more complex then people assume.
These last couple of videos are really fascinating, thank you! I was getting a little tired of interviews with yet another streamer, I feel like these sorts of interviews here are far more full of content where you learn about something completely new. No offence to the streamers. ๐
I really appreciate the effort Anthony put in to this video. Thereโs so much respect and light shining from the individual interactions. I have no particular religious standing, but I consider myself a pagan and a witch. When I cast spells, the magick comes from my intentions I set into motion. The physical offerings I make help me remember my intentions so I can continuously work towards improvement in that area. I think we can all learn so much from each other with an open mind and honor. For myself, I know I am constantly learning and adapting, which allows for stronger bonds with other people.
This was so wonderful to watch. Really eye opening and inspiring.
I love how grounded they both are. And Thorn, instead of putting up a defense when Anthony posed the question of "what if it's all in your head", had a very poised response. They both seem like lovely, insightful women. Great episode :)
Itโs funny because as a practitioner myself, this is a question I think a lot of us ask ourselves!! At this point Iโve developed the same mindset as Thorn- even if itโs doesnโt do anything, itโs still me sitting down and doing something creative and intentional for myself and that definitely counts for something
I'm so glad you're making more videos people who to spend days with instead of youtubers
DONT READ MY USERNAME
finally someone said it lol
really i donโt like any of these youtubers but i enjoy learning new things from these videos with normal people who do interesting things
Now this is interesting!
This is one of my favorite episodes so far... I wish it were longer!!
Me too! Its a rich subject and Anthony is such a smart interested open hearted person to talk to!
thanks for the information and the amazing video โฅ hope you keep doing great videos, and that your spell works !!!!
The way he was immediately drawn to stuff associated with prosperity and wealth without even realizing it... Anthony's intuition was popping off fr
Dat's wat I'm sayin!!! ๐๐๐
Dude i was have such a bad day today and this is really helping i love your videos i love to go back and rewatch the old vids when i am upset ๐ซถ๐ผ๐ค love u anthony

Wow. Well done. Amazing video, This is really an interesting look on witchcraft/wiccan. I adore the two witches who I surprisingly found to be really philosophical and honest about their belief. Its really interesting to see belief/witchcraft as a way to get rid of anxiety or a placebo effect. And also to focus more on the practicing part instead of the Belief system. I would love to see more videos about the occult and maybe different kind of belief systems.
So glad to see you invited Thorn!! Sheโs a great resource for Wicca and witchcraft and an all around lovely person :)) Her yt channel is great, and so are her books!
I have an idea for a video:
"I spent a day with people w/ Cerebral Palsy"
I have moderate Cerebral Palsy & I feel like a lot of people either haven't heard of it or just don't know anything about it.
Heck I'm still learning about it myself.
I literally could listen to Phyllis all day!!!! Her soft voice plus i get a great vibe from her and you can tell shes full of knowledge!! Absolutely love her
Such a beautiful video, once again. Thank you!! :)
Very interesting. Loved these interviews!
It's so interesting how much wicca bounces off of native American culture. We use pouches too, we call them medicine pouches. We put essentially whatever you want that helps you stay grounded, when you're feeling anxious, sick etc. For me I got sage, sweet grass, tobacco, bear root, and a turtle trinket my dad got my mom and I one year for Valentine's day. We can also share to others what we have in there if we please. Mine was made by an amazing native elder and he also put a blessing in there. You're supposed to wear it all the time except for like sleep, shower and something that could break it. You also can decorate the outside. Mine has our tribes colors on it made out of beads. I recently made my brothers and he hangs it over his bedroom at night. To feel comfort. Its a really great and cool thing and I love teaching what I know about it but I also wanna learn more as well.
I am a 7 year pagan practisioner who started as a wiccan and I think that sharing these different paths of the craft really does help with the stigma that is created so often. Thank you so much!
I was Christian for 20 years of my life. I went to church camp twice a year and bible study three times a week. I never really fit in and eventually was kicked out for not being โChristianโ enough. Since choosing the pagan/ occult path at the begin of this year, I have never been more happy and free to be myself. I have made more progress on healing my past then ever before and really feel connected to who I truly am. I have never felt more supported, loved, and sage in my entire life. Best decision ever!
Iโm glad youโre free โค
@Xuefinoo ok, I will go into an imaginary world full of red skinned monsters with horns who will beat me 24/7 for not believing in their enemy (aka your god)
@Xuefinoo why, you went there?
@Xuefinoo what are you on about? You told me to go to hell for no reason, and youโre the one complaining. ??
You need to repent of this sin, your attendance to these Christians events as a child means nothing regarding your heart. Everyone is imperfect, everyone has rebelled against Godโs Law, yet God loves us and has offered forgiveness through Jesusโ atonement on the cross. This is the message of God and if one understands this they would not seek solace in witchcraft. Jesus saved me from new age practice in 2019, I practiced meditation, ancestral worship, mudras, chants, scrying, etc.
Maybe some reading this assumed im just some stuck up hypocritical caricature of a โChristianโ like the world wants you to believe, but in reality I grew up in the same world as you, seeking fulfillment & acceptance, experiencing rejection from hypocritical people that even claim to be of God, but these people do not represent the full message of God and His character, only He does.
I love Phyllis Curott and Thorn Mooney ! Two of my favourite authors !!!
I'd love to see an episode on professional mediums! I wanna know more about people who help others communicate with their dead loved ones.
This 100% -- nice icon btw!
Just seeing this video and getting more and more into living a Wiccan lifestyle. But Anthonyโs style in this is so perfect! And looks fantastic on him! ๐ค
Excellent video Anthony. I appreciate your openess and how you listen to understand.
As someone slowly coming out of the closet as a Wiccan, I want to thank you for this video. I feel like I'm announcing to be insane if I was to disclose that I'm a Wiccan to strangers, because I'm aware of the stigma around it. This is a very real and accurate description of what it means to be a Wicca. Thank you so much for including us in your videos ๐
Honestly. Youโre better than me. I grew up in a Christian household. Going step by step. My mouthed said that the only rules sheโll give me while to my craft is no summoning, conjuring, or putting someone on someone. Coming out Wiccan and Hellenistic wonโt be happening until Iโve moved out
I'm excited 4 u 4 ur journey of comin out. It may be rocky at times but it will be stress releavin in da long run cuz there's no more lyin or hidin.
@@michaelboyd4676 best of luck in ur journey. I'm glad u had a safe and relatively pleasant experience wit ur mother bout ur faith walk. Waitin til u move out 2 go public of ur faith is very wise decision (already showin signs of bein a wise one ๐๐๐). It's very respectful 2 urself and ur needs. ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
This was awesome! I wish there was more!
This was a magnificent video thank you Anthony for ensuring that all beliefs and lives are heard in an safe and open environment!
It's so beautiful as an older practitioner seeing so many respond beautifully to our lovely little practices ๐ฅบ
