Hi YouTubers.

I've been away from my channel for a couple of years but was inspired to return with this video thanks to the #OcculTea discussion with prompts by @polishfolkwitch @theredheadedwitch and @ellaharrison.

Thank you for starting this discussion and I hope that we can all offer perspectives that will create an open, inclusive and diverse community of practitioners. I really appreciate the comments and videos I've seen so far and would like to contribute as an elder folk magic practitioner with a few insights.

Shout out to @theladygravedancer and all of the Witches I watch on YouTube.

Thank you for watching.
