  • @Nnapulitano73 the god/dess isnt the leader of the good or the bad. i belive that the god/dess are just manifestations of all spirit and every religion is just a different way of expressing your devotion to the realization that there is more than what meets the eye.

  • @idkrandomnumbers now the evil and the good have the same leader as in balence there is one scale. good on one side and bad on the other. now the leader is the god, goddess, spirit, allah, god etc. possetion i also belive ine and i explain it by someone reciving a mental attack or coming across a bad energy spot that stuck to them therefore physically and mentally hurting them. they arent spirits in my view. they are energies. like getting a whiff of a bad or good thing on the wind. mail me4more

  • whilst yes there r many cellebrations world wide from the 31st of oct. to the 2nt of nov. they all origanated from the ancient celtic harvest celebration of samhain

  • @Nnapulitano73

    We don't believe that "dark" is evil. Light and Dark are both important and they complement each other.

    Here's a great article that illustrates our belief:

    "And without all this darkness, there could be no light - no beginnings, no rebirths, no ideas. The world renews itself through darkness, and so do we." (Jaxpagan on dailykos)

  • @Nnapulitano73 I would say evil comes from fear.

    evil does not exist on it's own.

  • WOW, first time watching your videos... Very perky! I think I'm going to like watching your videos!

  • The clicking of the mouth was very distracting.

  • what do you do with the leftover plate of food? could I bury it in the garden?

  • Good video on samhain :) gave me some good ideas on how to decorate my dorm as well as ideas for my ritual. Thank you, Blessed be )O(

  • @Nnapulitano73 I can't say evil spirits don't exist, ran into a few during my journey and it makes sense with our circles that we cast and our need for protection spells. So yes, as a wiccan i believe in Evil Spirits, there is a balance of light and darkness. However, i do not believe in a hierarchy of demons or a devil leader, I believe these Evil spirits are created from man. Have a video explaining it on my channel.

  • i am in love with you.i want to know more about you you are kool women

  • I thought you were a vegan.. why are you using eggs?

  • I would like to day that the waxing year is the time when we look to our light half and focus on creativity, inspiration, wellness, and all things physical. And the waning year is the time when we look to our darker half, or higher self, when we focus on our connection to Deity and all things spiritual. So because Samhain is the biggest of the waning sabbats this is a good time to get connected to your higher self.

  • I WAS right about the sun being within 15 deg of Scorpio! - OK.

    Just making sure :)

  • @Nnapulitano73 The dark side is as nature as the Light side. We don't see the Darks side as Evil but as necesary. So there can't be light without shadows. Of Course there're some bad energys but we try to don't mess up with it. Anyway if we have to we try to control this energys and don't let them control us

  • @Nnapulitano73 the part of the mind that is most present. And the dark is the mysterious and unknown. These are embodied by different gods and goddess. Both have power and neither are evil or good. I strongly believe that there is no absolute good and no absolute evil, no black and white, merely shades of gray.

  • @Nnapulitano73 I realize that this question has probably been answered a million times over by other pagan viewers but I feel the need to put my input in, forgive me if all the replies to this one comment have annoyed you. I believe that there are dark spirits, ones out to hurt you. I believe the ones that can leave physical wounds are demons but my definition of demon is a very strong dark spirit. They have no leader. Light and Dark however, aren't good and evil. I believe the light is -c-

  • i love your altar for samhain if thats it haha

  • @Nnapulitano73 there are two major balances. light and dark, and masculine and feminine. the masculine is the God and the Physical world. the feminine is the Goddess and the Spiritual world, again depending on who you talk to. the light is the aspect of the God and Goddess which helps and tends to our mind, body, and financial and emotional life. the "dark" aspects of the God and Goddess take away those pleasures and help us look within so we can stay connected to them. both are necissary.

  • Love your vid! I'm incorporating many of your ideas this year. Thanks so much!!!!!

  • @Nnapulitano73 different people believe different things.i believe that the god and goddess represented themselves to the ancient people as all the different gods and goddesses. i believe in demons, possesion but not the devil. i think the god and goddess represent themselves to different people in different ways ( hindu, muslim, christian et cetera.)try meditating on what YOU believe Blessed Be! )o(

  • Comment removed

  • @Nnapulitano73

    The darkside is when the sun sleeps, not really the same kida dark as you are thinking about

  • I *love* that photo of you and the cat! And what a fantastic video, too! Brightest Blessings sweetie )O(

  • @Nnapulitano73 and there is no leader because we dont believe in those negative things.

  • @Nnapulitano73 It could possibly explained with the yin and yang idea too :) Hope this helps!

  • @Nnapulitano73 Im fairly new to the practice, but there are no "good" and "bad" practictioners, you can't do anything negative because it will comeback to you threefold, and it is against the golden rule do as you will as long as it harms none. I believe there are good and "bad" spirits out there because they are good and bad people on earth and sometimes they get stuck in between the worlds and have not yet left those earthly qualities behind.

  • @Nnapulitano73 There is balance by haveing more than one God. Each God in itself is also balanced no one individual is pure good or pure evil. Posession may be possible but not by demons there alot of things out there.... Further more there are God/esses of darkness but they are not evil it just an aspect of existence. They are usually benevolen except maybe Seth and a few other Gods but even they can show kindness.

  • Can u put up the links for the other crafts in this vid please :) Love what your doing and hope no one will ever discourage you, Brightest Blessings! )O( -Terra

  • @Nnapulitano73

    There isn't a strict dualism of good vs. evil in Wicca/Witchcraft. The God and Goddess aren't the leaders of the "good spirits" in opposition to the "evil spirits", but rather two different aspects of nature, roughly comparable to Yin and Yang. There are no "devils", simply angry spirits or spirits who lost their way.

  • where can i find the story you spoke of?

  • this was great! thank you so much for posting this video!!! you gave me great ideas and lots of info!!!

  • I'm extremely excited about Samhain this year(:

    I plan on having a bonfire with my sisters, making your Witch's Brew, and having a Dumb Supper.

    Thank you so much for all of these wonderful ideas! <3

  • "Yeee-haww" You're so silly Mel... *hugs*

  • hi flora! im new to paganism and i was just wondering when you make an offering, what do you do with the food when your done? also, when you have your god and goddess i thought you were just supposed to honor them and not another one for a particular celebration? im so confused :/

  • to Flora.

    I have a question: how can I preform Black Magic raven spells?

    I've been questing to find an answer everywhere and I can't find it.

  • @orobusimpoloderius

    There is no "white magic" and "black magic"... if you mean using magick to harm others, that's seen as morally wrong.

  • @Nnapulitano73 hey I know this question is VERY old but I think I can help you. From what I've seen the "evil" in pagan religions is in a person's intention. So anyone who intentionally harms another with magic. Throwing curses around and that sort of thing. However as far as I've seen there is no demons or evil leaders consistently through the various pagan beliefs. So pagans do believe in evil it is just the evil of someone's intent rather than a devil figure or evil spirits.

  • Where did you get the T.shirt?

  • @Nnapulitano73 I think a major point is the different way of understanding what it means to find balance. There is light and dark, positive and negative. Duality is everywhere in nature. However, there is a big different between "light and dark" and "good and evil." That is putting a layer of personal beliefs and opinions on top of what simply IS, which is the light/dark and nature. So we believe in light/dark, but not good/evil and so there are no "evil spirits" let alone one leader of them.

  • We don´t believe in evil spirits or in any kind of "leader of teh dark side" because the whole concept about the dark side is something that is so catolic that dosen´t make sense to our beliefs.

    The balance that u mention is not between good and evil, but between lighy and shadown and we don´t believe the light to be good and the shadow to be evil, the two sides are just part of nature and are inside everyone.

    I hope that i have make miself clear.

    tnx for the interest

  • I love the blooper at the end too funny... Yeehaa

  • Thank you :)

  • cute vid picture of you and your cat so adorable

  • AWE dear your so full of energy! love ya ty for shareing!

  • And evil spirits could be another way of saying 'hexes' or 'bad luck' or something... at least that's what I think. ^-^ Basically, those that wish you ill, could try to send 'evil spirits' your way.

    I feel bad for posting so many comments on this video. @-@

    P.S. GREAT VIDEO! Thanks for sharing Flora.

    : D

  • Scott Cunningham says that the God/Goddess both have a dark side as well as the light. Because there must be balance in everything. Where there is life, there must be death. Where there is joy, there must be sadness. I'm still reading but it's very helpful. You should check it out sometime if you want. : )

  • I forget to name the book, LOL. It's "Wicca: A guide for the solitary practitioner"

  • I don't believe in the devil or evil spirits.

  • i agree... being a witch myself most of my fellow sisters scoff at the idea. lol but we are all entitled to our beliefs. ty for all your videos flora hugs :) blessed be

  • @CharmingPixieFlora I kinda see where that person's question comes from. I think everthing has a dark side too it. Good and evil, light at dark. I don't think I beleive in the devil tho. (new wiccan) But it kinda makes sense. I guess i do believe in evil spirits but I don't worship them or want them around me. LOl Idk just a thought i guess

  • samhain here is raining... The goddess must be crying for the lord passing...

  • Samhein....Time to put on your party hats and lets do the time warp again!!

  • My daughters and I were just dancing to that song.

  • Lol. That makes u guys awesome!

  • Great video thanks for the info

  • Love the blooper! So cute! :)

  • lovin the hat! :D

  • I LOVE watching your videos. They makes me feel homey for some reason. I just wish I had the ability to do all this stuff. Soon I will though. Yay! I can't wait for Samhain. My life is aligning well with the seasons and sabbats, its so cool.

    Keep making videos! I love it!

    Blessed Be! :]

  • Great vid and amazing hat lol

    Blessed be!

  • that was such a cute pict! nice vid ( :

    Blessed Be!

  • I LOVE SAMHAIN! It's also right after my birthday!!!!!!!

  • Shameless plug, but my channel has outdoor scrying techniques! Try them out in a natural location near you this Samhain.

  • hehehe I love the ending! Flora I always enjoy your vids! I cannot wait til Samhaine I so stoked about a new year and new things! Blessed Be!

  • my aunt liked marines so thats what i am putting out.

  • Awesome hat!

  • loving the hat!

    these are great activities - i especially like the "dummy dinner" idea.

  • I don't get why they say the God and the Goddess. Who is the god, who is the goddess. I know many. Like, poseidon. hera. i didn't know there were 2 in particular. Neither does my fiance' she's been wiccan for fifteen years.

  • DrewInWashington: The God and Goddess are the aspects of male and female energy inherent in the one Creator, in nature and in all human beings. Each individual God or Goddess is just a particular personality trait of that aspect. Just like you wear many different hats in your life. As human beings, we would go to a doctor for healing or a lawyer for legal matters, we are all still human beings. If I call upon Venus for matters of love, I am calling upon a particular energy of the Goddess.

  • I think Flora is also being somewhat secular. According to her profile she's also an eclectic Pagan, not Wiccan.

  • CUTE CAT!!!! OHEMGEE!!! XD

  • love the hat flora! oh and my hubby got me that same shirt..lol..I just cant fit it :( lol

  • omg atlast! Somebody says it right! "Sah-wen"!

  • Thanks for all the seasonal videos, Flora! You're always so perky and I just love it.

    I'm going to be looking forward to making sugar skulls for Samhain, indulging in the harvest, and getting ready for a new year. Blessed be!

  • That begining picture is an absolutley fab one of you! I just love it!! I always look forward to seeing your Sabbat videos. I'm so happy that I had this to watch. My first Samhain! Eek! I'm so excited! BB :)

  • Where did you get your Cerridwen statue? it's beautiful!

  • love your video and info. Love your hat and shirt too. I have always loved this time of year and you have given me some new ideas for decorating and offerings and food. Thanks for being a real mom, a real woman and a real spiritual teacher to all of us, pagan and non pagans! You make it all so normal and your compassion, love of life and love come shinning through! Happy Samhain!

  • Love, love, love the intro photo with you and your cat!!!!

  • If I'm feeling kind of "down" I put on one of your videos and it brings me "up". Thanks for that. This particular video has really gotten me in the mood for the holiday. I even feel like getting a hat and happy halloween shirt.

  • this was such a fun video!! this is my first samhain as I am a pagan newbie and you gave me some great ideas to work with! thank you so much!!! :)

  • I luv this vid and your new intro pic. How cute!!! I love putting the pictures up of family members who have passed (including the pets). My mouth is watering since you mentioned that sweet skull bread.

  • Lovely video! I tried to send you a message but it wont let me, something about friend lock? It said i needed to add you as a friend but I thought I already did?? Can you message me or accept me again? Love you girl!!

  • PS I'm so jealous of your house and yard. What a huge yard! I wish I had space for a garden. Also don't have space for the many things used in each celebration through out the year. I am tempted to make some egg shakers but don't want to have to throw them out. We need an appartment dweller witch adviser on youtube too!

    I'm also jealous of your looks but that's another post. :P

  • I'm always confused on offerings. When is it appropriate to dispose of them? For the meal, for example, I presume when the table is being cleaned that is an appropriate time. Offerings on an alter? Is it acceptable to just dump the offerings in the garbage? Again, offerings always confused me as they are never truely taking or consumed. I feel uneasy in regards to them.

  • well i can offer some advice on what my daughter and I do for offerings. We have them on our altar during the day of and during ritual, then afterwards we bring them outside to our backyard and place them around the treeline for our animal neighbors. When we didn't have a yard we did the same by going to our favorite wild place and offering there.

  • Brilliant!

  • @Species710 Do not dump offerings in the garbage, or demons will appear and rape you.

    lmao.

  • !!! i just love this video!!! this years samhain is very special to me this year! i have LOTS of plans for the new year to come! and this time of year is just the best, i swear!

  • LOL What a lovey googey face on that cat. I've not watched the video yet, it's loading but I had to melt at that cat's face.
