 Hello people, I'm Ginny Metherill and I'm fourth generation witch. A couple of weeks ago I did a video on nine witchcraft practices that you can incorporate into your every day and then people kept on asking me do you do this every single day and I thought well no I don't. There are certain things I do every single day so I thought we'd look at what I do to incorporate witchcraft into my everyday practice. Now you might have noticed that I haven't been here for a couple of weeks and that's because I went on holiday. I didn't actually go abroad on holiday. I had a holiday from home which meant I gave myself a budget. I said we're going to do nice things like you know gap a supper a couple of times, do this, do that and I do it with all my children but my children are teenagers and they don't like hanging out with their mother so this I think will improve in a couple of years when they decide I'm not the uncoolest person in the world. I must stop waffling I'm just trying to tell you why I wasn't here last week. So with that said let's look at my everyday witchcraft practice. Now bear in mind that I'm going to talk about things that I will do every day regardless of whether I am in my witchcraft practice i.e. I'm working because you know this is my job or I'm not working and I'm just you know with my family or maybe on holiday maybe just having a day off whatever and so I want to show you what I actually do. So the first thing that I do unconsciously pretty much every single day is think about whether I'm protected or not and there's two ways of doing this. The first way is to use my trusty pendulum and for those of you who have followed me for any length of time you will all know that I am completely and utterly obsessed with protection and I go on and on and on about it but that's because I get attacked a lot. Quite often it's because I've miffed some rather nasty entity and I've been attacked by its minions or whatever. However I need to know that my defences are in place and so my trusty pendulum is to port out. All I do is simply ask it is everything okay so if I ask the question to the pendulum you'll see it starts to swing a lovely yes it is. I mean if it says no then I have to investigate that and find out why it's saying no and what I need to do whether it be demonic exorcisms or negative energy removal it depends on what's happening within my home and why my pendulum saying everything is not okay. I'll often pick up my pendulum and ask am I okay if I am for example feeling a bit down in the dumps it might be that I have picked something up. Now as a witch who involves herself and you know slightly the sedia side of the occult practices occasionally in a I don't agree with that I'm going to destroy you kind of way as a witch who does that when I leave my protective home I am attacked by gosh knows what but also I've been doing this for so long now that I cannot be bothered to put protective bubbles on me when I go out just willy-nilly because I can't be bothered so I don't but I know therefore that I'm going to pick up things if I'm not careful and so I am extremely careful about checking myself over hence I use that is this right. The second way that I check this particular aspect is to use my astral projective technique I live in my house and it's surrounded by word and fields and so I will go in my astral body because I can't be bothered necessarily to walk up to each part and just do a quick check around my land and see that those boundaries in place and I can see them and this is something I teach all the time you know we I think we did a bit of this and our last coven meeting I would talk to everyone how to see magic because magic leaves traces. There is one other thing that I do all the time daily regardless of where I am simply because I like the smell more than anything else and that is cleansing with incense. At the moment I'm really into this particular rose incense stick which I love but one of my other favorite things to do is actually I haven't done that for a bit is to use some sage some dried white sage and before anyone comes at me no it's never been near California it's growing in a bloody polytunnel down near Barstable so it's not from the world make sure you will say jissant. Now with my incense stick I will obviously light it but what I'm doing with it is cleansing myself with smoke and this is the root of the word smudge. Now smoke cleanse enables me to feel if I've got anything attached to me such as negative energy this could be somebody else's negative energy it could be my negative energy and this is an especially good technique to use if you're feeling a bit down give yourself a quick smoke cleanse and you'll find that you'll feel better so I'll take the joss stick round my head oh gosh and I can tell you now that I've got something on me at the moment the reason I know is because as I'm moving the smoke across it doesn't glide smoothly round the back of my head it goes boom and I'm like it gives a bump as it's going round I don't feel a smooth glide across so this tells me I've got something there now I'm going to give it a quick pull it off anyway actually I feel better now I've taken it off so let me just take my joss stick round and I'll show you yeah right I know that that's all done I would normally go on to smudge the rest of my body with the smoke but you get the general idea so those are the two things that I will do pretty much on a daily basis it doesn't matter where I am but there is one more thing that I'm going to add into the mix which of course I do and this is simply what we would call today mindfulness I'm just aware of the energies around me and I spend time being aware of the energies around me for example if I would go into an old building and it makes me feel cross because quite often they do I would tune into the reasoning why old building is making me feel cross and normally it's because there's some kind of earthbound spirit there witchcraft is actually just mindfulness about 90% of the time and it's being aware of the little things that'll help you become more aware of yourself and your craft if you want to learn more about witchcraft do come and join me on Patreon get a patreon.com forward slash a journey meterel and come and join our coven this is an online learning facility and I will show you these techniques but in much greater detail they're really good fun meetings and you will learn so much I promise there's no such thing as failure in witchcraft we are all brilliant at it and I will show you how and if you're already in my coven well done just give me a like and a subscribe so the more subscribers I get the more videos I can make it's such an easy correlation isn't it but thank you for watching and I will see you next week
