Hedgewitch Hollow: Episode 8-Grimoires and Books of Shadows

[halcyonlurker]

Nice vid!! I can't help but notice your background looks like chainmail...but that would be INSANE! What is it anyway?

[Aelwyndaeira]

@halcyonlurker It's a blanket, hung over a room divider that holds photos. :)

[Afroxec]

@halcyonlurker ur a fucking moron

[Mesijahy]

why are you not a wiccan anymore?

[contessa67]

What do HedgeWitches follow if they don't follow the Wiccan rede?

I am a Strega, (Italian Witch) and we have no Wiccan rede. But I am trying to figure out what we believe in and how its similiar to others. (I am just learning). We have like a creed of loyalty, love, honour, respect. And the white witches (good witches, not the bad ones obviously) try to not harm others and really the only thing stopping a witch from using black magic is their morals and conscience and the heart of the witch.

[ShoryoTombo]

Ooh, I like your Craft. Very interesting and I have heard of Strega a long time ago but not sure. Kudos to you and your loyalty!

Blessed Be!

[contessa67]

Awesome... but not that fake Stregheria that Raven Grimassi follows.

I practice the REAL folk magic - Stregoneria, from italy. :)

[safehouse123]

thank you for showing there is a difference:)

[bullykai]

I should have waited to post until i got to the end of this vid! I have Lupus so i know what you mean about the writing and the vision problems with fibro... so again brightest blessings!!!!!! Katie )o(

[bullykai]

I noticed that you said that you don't adhere to the rede anymore as a hedgewitch, sorry I really don't know much about hedgewitches would you mind maybe making a vid dedicated to just YOUR beliefs or writing me back personally I'd love to learn more, I am a solitary on an ecelctic path still trying to find my way,and i am really being drawn to your path,even though I don't know much about it;)Maybe it's just the way that you present your vids, but I find this all very interesting Blessed Be )o(

[Aelwyndaeira]

Hi there! I plan to make vides again in January or February, and one will be solely on the path of Hedgewitchery and my beliefs and practics.

[brightbite]

This may be a stupid question, but in that great big binder, how the heck do you keep the pages from falling out? After turning them for a long time, do they not end up falling out at the holes that attach them to the rings?

[Aelwyndaeira]

Hole cover thingies from staples. ;)

[brightbite]

Thanks for letting me know. And btw- have a great New Year. :)

[ottoo9000]

Hey can u teach me some magic O_o please right back. Ty!

[gothtigger92]

Right now my BoS are scattered peices of paper. I'm still trying to get them in order. XD like that's ever gonna happen.

[acrislazoiu]

I think I saw a possessed guy in the grocery store my grandma and I walked past him he looked like the manager or something maby he was just real tired? why were his eyes like all white n stuff like in that devil movie?

[Blackrosethorn07]

Mine is a Disc of shadows but I also have a hard copy & a very messed up note book!

[Tsukuyomi102594]

right now my BoS is just a composition notebook :/ im gonna get a nice one soon

[blaackangel]

A video blog is a great idea! Your episodes are awesome...you cover a lot AND you plug businesses in the area! :D

[Aelwyndaeira]

I try! :)

[tashaluvsyou]

what is book of shadows pls. wow 13 goals of a witch sounds interesting, can we know about that pls? love to hear you tell us how to write tons of earth love spells.

[MalchikManyaka]

You did a great job on your page of the scrap book! It was the best looking page in the book in my opinion! For your first time that's amazing! You cleary have a natural talent for it! Note this is coming from a full blown pisces! Haha!

[Aelwyndaeira]

Thank you! :) Scrapbooking isn't something I love doing, but have done it on occasion (maybe I'll share the page my sister and I did for my Grammy's funeral one time). My sister is a HUGE scrapbooker, and is going to have a whole room dedicated to it in her new house. LOL!

And I feel honoured having that come from a full blown Pisces! ;)

[Aelwyndaeira]

Hahaha, thanks! I keep getting told I should do it more---but really, I'm just too impatient...LOL! :)

[Sarikoon]

Wonderful Teachings. The computer is a goddess send for those of us who are physically challenged! I call my collection the Case of Shadows, since I carry all my books in a suit case when I teach or share. Hope you don't mind that I share your video's with my students. You are inspiring.

[Sarikoon]

Aelwyndaeira - wonderful teachings. Waiting to see Episode 10? I have my own set of books that I have been collecting for years.  I fondly call them my Case of Shadows, since I carry them all in a suit case when I go to teach or share. Would be wonderful to email...Blessed Be to you and yours.

[Aelwyndaeira]

Case of Shadows--that's awesome! :)  I used to have a "box of shadows". ;)

[MistyWitch2601]

Oh my Goddess! How you inspire me!!! )0(

[Aelwyndaeira]

Aw, thank you. :)

[asm5493]

What rules do abide by if any as a hedgewitch if you dont abide by the wiccan rede?Blessed Be,

Anthony M

[Aelwyndaeira]

I'm going to do a video on that. It's too much to type out in comments, but I follow many rules. I do NOT follow the "harm none" rule or threefold law, as I'm not Wiccan. But I do have various codes of honour that I follow.

[asm5493]

well thst's cool can't wait for the vid

[Aelwyndaeira]

I abide by various rules. I will be making a video about them in the future, so keep an eye out. :)

[DeathDealer48]

i got an a5 resin book that you can take apart but i want an $800 leather bond book lol im terrible so gona have to work my butt of for that

[Aelwyndaeira]

It would be easier to make your own, wouldn't it? I'm sure there must be links out there on book binding, and you can personalize it any way you like! :)

[DeathDealer48]

aww great idea thanks i might do that not that im very crafty like that but im sure i could give it ago

[DeathDealer48]

i found a great site telling you how to bind and it seems easy well that is for a small book but i can make it larger i want a3 lol but will have to do with a4 as it will be really hard.thanks for the idea

[Aelwyndaeira]

Cool! :) Sounds great, I'd love to see the final product!

[CotyStargazer]

GREAT episode, even though your grimoire is abusive. :)

[Aelwyndaeira]

LOL...so true.  It's just a tad unruly....;)

[craftywytch]

Love the scrapbook and recipe book ideas! Beautiful grimoires, brightest blessings )O(

[Aelwyndaeira]

Thank you! :)

[Neopagan2007]

Very cool. I really like the cookbook idea. I may try that. Thanks!

[Aelwyndaeira]

Thank you, and you're welcome! :)

[Aelwyndaeira]

LOL! Could be a Samhain Salad....who knows? I made eyeballs for Samhain 2007...

[cannibalmonkey13]

lol, when you started out with your recipe book, you said samhain, but i thought you said salad then you pointed out the skeleton, and i was like "omg o_O what are you putting in there!?!" then my imaginary brain kicked in.

[MsDiscord]

That scrapbook idea you folks had for the Pagan Pride booth was neato..and a nice keepsake for you, I would think! :D

[Aelwyndaeira]

I really enjoyed that project, and am thinking of doing some more like that. And yeah, it is lovely. I tried to give everyone their pages back, but they didn't want 'em...LOL.
