Weavers Wisdom Oracle Reading for July, 2023 Kayla Alyssa 2023-07-02 | Hello kindred! It's been way too long. I am so grateful for those who continue to support me here on YT and as a way of saying thank you, and I'm back!, I am sharing some of my Patreon content with you.At the start of each month I pull a Weaver's Oracle card for us as a tribe of kindred souls for an overall arching energy theme for the month. I normally share my personal take after the reading but have edit most of that out... although it may show up as bonus content on Patreon ;)Not 100% sure how the return will look. I will be sharing a few unboxing items, and how I plan to work with them... and reworking rituals that come in kits to share ideas on how to think outside the 'witch subscription' box ;)For now, I hope you enjoy this reading and please share with me how you personally feel it speaks to you!Sending graditude and hugs!Namaste and Blessed Be,Kayla
Bridging traditions - My first Beltane Ritual Kayla Alyssa 2023-04-30 | Bridging traditions in my first Beltane fires. May is my birth month, and on the first I decided to begin a yesr and a day commitment to my path and practice opening myself to traditions tied to my patriarchal lineage. A path that resonates well with the matriarchal side and has always called to me. I am beginning this journey tonight in the fires of rebirth. Join me as I extend this ritual to those in my online family who also seek healing, protection and a new start. Namaste and blessed be🙏🏽♥️
Vlogtober Has Arrived! 🎃 A Cozy Fall Day 🍂 | 🍥 Bakewells & Book hauls 📚 Kayla Alyssa 2021-10-02 | #fallbookhaul #vlogtober2021 #slowlivingHello my wayward ones! Welcome to my first ever Vlogtober Video!I thought the best way to start the month was with a little fall inspired baking and the long overdue Fall bookhaul!The bakewell is my own fall inspired version, it's a white chocolate-pumpkin bakewell! The books are a combination of bookish books that speak to that return to school vibes and a few with a little more magick and mystery for October. Including one that was written back in 1972 but I think every pagan parent needs in their fall story time inventory!It may be surprising to know, that something as simple as a book haul, is actually a part of me Owning my Journey. Can't wait to share the whys of this in the video. If you have read any of the books mentioned, or are now adding them to your own book list, please let me know which ones!Can't wait to catch up in the comments!Sending cozy fall hugs!KaylaSOCIAL MEDIA IG | @my.wayward.life WEBSITE|BLOG: mywaywardlife.caPATREONIf you are interested in supporting the creation of my videos, please join me on Patreon: patreon.com/mywaywardlifeFor free Public Patreon content, head over to the link and 'follow' for free!ETSY etsy.com/ca/shop/WaywardWitchCa My Etsy is a pop up store where I share small batches of ritual creations I use in my own practice.

Vlog3 | Fall Reset : Clean With Me | Fall Inspired Release Ceremony | Harvest Dinner Kayla Alyssa 2021-09-25 | #nordicware #thanksgiving #fallbakingChapters:0:00 Intro0:30 Fall Reset | Clean With Me3:22 Fall Reset | Energy Release Ceremony8:27 Fall Equinox Harvest DinnerHello my wayward friends! And welcome, officially to fall!If you have seen my Spring Equinox video, link below...youtu.be/hhiXzOe3jZ4... you know this is a time of restoring the balance for me. Just like the in the Spring, this begins with a deep clean of my mom's house and my two little spaces within it. Don't worry, I didn't share all of it! BTS there was a lot of other workings going on, but I wanted to share one simple, but powerful one with you. Inspired by nature and her processes, it's a fall inspired release ceremony, working with leaves, and the natural process of decay to release energies within you specifically, that no longer serve you. It also asks you to think of what energy you wish to cultivate to replace it.We end with a quick sneak peek of our Autumn Equinox Harvest Dinner. I actually tested the recipe on the weekend, and then made it again for our official celebration dinner. Thankfully, it WAS that good! I will be posting the recipe either as FREE PUBLIC CONTENT ON PATREON, (you just need to be following me, not subscribed, to get notifications on free posts) or perhaps on my blog... which I have sadly neglected! I honestly don't know when it will be up, but definitely by end of month as I think it will be a great recipe for the Canadian (and US!) thanksgiving, should you celebrate them. For reasons I won't get into, I don't, the Equinox is the time I mark my Harvest and time of thanks.I hope you are enjoying the magick in the mundane which are my vlogs :) I also want to apologize that the September Bookish Book Haul is not up yet! It is still planned and might be the last weekend in September, or combined with the October haul in the first week of October! EEK! A lot has been going on that I can't speak to as yet, and which definitely takes priority, but I will do my best to get up at least one video a week :)For now, I hope your Mabon, Equinox or Witch's Thanksgiving was filled with abundance, and you took time to restore the balance, as we move into the Shadow seasons.Many blessings and much love,KaylaSOCIAL MEDIA IG | @my.wayward.life WEBSITE|BLOG: mywaywardlife.caPATREONIf you are interested in supporting the creation of my videos, please join me on Patreon: patreon.com/mywaywardlifeFor free Public Patreon content, head over to the link and 'follow' for free!ETSY etsy.com/ca/shop/WaywardWitchCa My Etsy is a pop up store where I share small batches of ritual creations I use in my own practice.

Vlog 1 | Embrace Fall | Decorating, Baking & A Lake Side Walk Kayla Alyssa 2021-09-04 | #falldecoratewithme #cookwithme @slowlivingHello friends!Embracing fall and decorating for the season had been a ritual part of my life that brought me so much joy. But for three years, I had stopped. The beginning of this video brings the sadness with the story, but the rest of the video is me reclaiming the joy and owning my journey.I would love to know if and how you celebrate the season, not a specific holiday within it, like thanksgiving (Canada) or Halloween, but the season it self. :)And if there are any fellow nerdy geeks out there (once you watch the video, you'll understand!) give me a shout out in the comments!I hope you enjoy the video. I am continuing my brave journey in owning my journey, body mind and soul, and even pop on for a little face time! eek! But I'm trying, and that's all I can ask of myself.Thank you again for all your support and encouragement! As a thank you, I have posted another FREE/Patreon post with an attached PDF on the concept of Shakti. I hope you enjoy! And if you do give it a read, please leave a like and comment over on Patreon so I know you checked it out!Happy Fall Y'all!Much LoveKaylaSOCIAL MEDIA IG | @my.wayward.life WEBSITE|BLOG: mywaywardlife.caPATREONIf you are interested in supporting the creation of my videos, please join me on Patreon: patreon.com/mywaywardlifeFor free Public Patreon content, head over to the link and 'follow' for free!ETSY etsy.com/ca/shop/WaywardWitchCa My Etsy is a pop up store where I share small batches of ritual creations I use in my own practice.

Own Your Journey | Chatty Vlog & Catchup! Ive missed you! Kayla Alyssa 2021-08-28 | #ownyourjourney #slowliving #bodyimageHello my Wayward Ones! Eek! I'm back! :D, and man have I missed being part of the community here! This video was a labour of love and, more so, courage. I hope it inspires those who may need it, and look forward to seeing how, in the comments below! Let's get a little soul searching, and a little conversation going! WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO AND WHY I'VE BEEN MIA!Thank you so much for those who have stuck around, I know it's been two and a half months since I uploaded 😨 Part of that has been some serious revamping of my living space, and moving of furniture, building of furniture and melting (like a good witch does, oh wait, is it the bad witches that melt 🤪) in the steady months of heat alerts here in Toronto. Since JUNE this year!You will notice that it looks like someone punched me in my eyes, they are so dark with circles, that's actually due to an average of 2 hours sleep a night, over the past month and a half. So please be kind! Here's why!Sadly, the heat advisories actually began in June, and that's when we discovered the AC in the house was not working. So on average my room has been 31 degrees plus a humidex putting the living in temp between 36-40c every freakin day for over two months. I'm a pitta. I don't do summers ( I actually do get SAD and several chronic illnesses flare up in the heat. lol. So this has been really affecting my health as well. Okay, ramble over! lol.Deep breath, oddly sharing all of this is just another way of procrastinating posting this video, but... it's time. I hope you like it. xoxoxoKaylaSOCIAL MEDIA IG | @my.wayward.life WEBSITE|BLOG: mywaywardlife.caPATREONIf you are interested in supporting the creation of my videos, please join me on Patreon: patreon.com/mywaywardlifeFor free Public Patreon content, head over to the link and 'follow' for free!ETSY etsy.com/ca/shop/WaywardWitchCa My Etsy is a pop up store where I share small batches of ritual creations I use in my own practice.

A Wayward Garden | Forget YOU Not | Hallmark moments with a Plant Spirit Ally Kayla Alyssa 2021-06-05 | #greenwitch #plantspiritmedicine #youareenoughThis week I shared a little message from a powerful plant spirit ally that I was introduced to last year. After spending a year with her energy and healing, I was ready to present the message to you all. This is a different type of video for me, bit of a walk down memory lane, montage :D.A few years ago the storage unit in the basement of the apartment I was renting flooded. The pipes that burst were above my unit, and I lost all my Highschool yearbooks, my poetry/ritual books from high school and almost all my photos. This is all that remains, and I am sharing them with all of you. I had hoped to borrow some more from my childhood in mom's albums, but true to form, it turns out my Sister wanted the albums and mom gave them all to her. There was nothing left for me. Which is unfortunate. I hope that the message of Grandmother Forget Me Not reaches you.Forget YOU Not my beautiful wayward ones.I know you are unforgettable to me.Many blessings,KaylaSHOP MY LOOK, TOOLS & SUPPLIES:US Amazon: mywaywardli0d-20Canadian Amazon: mywaywardlife-20SOCIAL MEDIA IG | @my.wayward.life WEBSITE|BLOG: mywaywardlife.caPATREONIf you are interested in supporting the creation of my videos, please join me on Patreon: patreon.com/mywaywardlifeETSY etsy.com/ca/shop/WaywardWitchCa My Etsy is a pop up store where I share small batches of ritual creations I use in my own practice.

So this weeks vlog.... a little bit of a baking 'bitch' sesson to start, but includes some shoutouts and gratitude for some amazing online friends who helped make a bad day better. I teased at some content that will also be included in the Urban Green Witch series, including ways I connect with plant spirit medicine. At the very end is a little flip through of a new cookbook that will definitely play a role in future micro-green videos!If you're interested, here are the links for the book!The MicroGreens Cookbook: Canada: amzn.to/33iORBi US: amzn.to/3ogrS3PI also hint at yet another new series I have seriously been considering for the channel. I shared it with my Patreons, and will be doing a dedicated video to introduce the topic for discussion here as well. It deals with using my platform to give other's a voice. Those who need to share their stories of struggles and how they cope. For now, I hope you enjoy this little tongue in cheek vlog of a birthday remastered.

A Wayward Life | A Ritual Candle Cake &Tea Ceremony | tech challenges, chores & channel updates Kayla Alyssa 2021-05-08 | #kitchenwitch #candlecake #teaceremony#witchyvlog #ancestralveneration #honouringthedeadGood morning my wayward souls!Dispite some technical issues and very tempermental internet connections, not to mention no wifi at all :D, I am still hoping to share two videos this weekend!Both have birthday themes, the first took place at the start of the week and it was one of my Mourning Tea events, in honour of my Uncle-Dad I speak of so often. May 4th was his birthday. The crafting part of this video honours him.I have had this candle cake on my Fall High Tea pinterest board for years, and after restarting this channel, planned to do a Fall High Tea in the fall, but there are so many ways to work with the candle. Bex has a great video on her channel for it's use during Imbolc. I work with it in shadow work, and ancestral veneration. Making it ideal for memorial birthdays, Dumb Suppers during Samhain or group shadow workings. You can even make an animal friendly version which I will share in the fall - job search pending of course :PFor the cake, I shared how to use a simple box cake, mine was a Vanilla base for uncle. and add ritual in the making and decorating.The Candle Cake Tutorial I saved on Pinterest is from:xokatierosario.com/melted-candle-cakeThe Buttercream Recipe was from one of my favorite YT personalities, he's simply adorable: preppykitchen.com/vanilla-buttercreamBex's Video can be found here:youtu.be/6NhEhuzMEaASHOP MY LOOK, TOOLS & SUPPLIES:Amazon.ca Affiliate links for items in this video:Baking Supplies:4 inch Spring Form Pan (set of 4): amzn.to/3h0PPKJCake Decorating Kit: amzn.to/3b2BtFYCake Pedestal Tray (wood round, black metal base, 8 inches/21 cm: amzn.to/3h3481oGoddess Statues:Hekate Statue: amzn.to/3um5iJ7Morrigan Statue: amzn.to/2Siby6uSOCIAL MEDIA IG | @my.wayward.life PATREONIf you are interested in supporting the creation of my videos, please join me on Patreon: patreon.com/mywaywardlifeWEBSITE|BLOG:mywaywardlife.caETSY etsy.com/ca/shop/WaywardWitchCa My Etsy is a pop up store where I share small batches of ritual creations I use in my own practice.

On the Concept of | A Wayward Witchs Wheel of the Year Kayla Alyssa 2021-04-25 | #wheeloftheyear #slowlivingwitchcraft #slowlivingwitch#greenwitch #shamanicwitch #hedgewitchGreetings my wayward ones! I apologize for the delay in getting Sunday's video up, but life persists, as it does.I am often asked why my plans are for the very popular, and almost exclusively used, European based Witch's Wheel of the Year. Well, the answer would never be an easy one, so I decided to do a video to explain what my on calendar celebrations are, and my off calendar ones. Or, how this wayward witch, witch's her own wheel of the year.My way is a lonelier way, but it's true to what speaks to me. While I do hope it might provide food for thought, the most important thing is, you do what feels right for you.

A Wayward Life | Intentional Deep Cleaning | April Snow | Baking | DIYs Kayla Alyssa 2021-04-24 | #cottagewitch #slowliving #intentionallivingGreetings my beautiful wayward souls and witches!This video, I feel, was one of my best and worst :D, vlog style videos are definitely more challenging, but hopefully with practice I will improve. So please stick around and to be scared off by these rather clumsy attempts :DThis video simply shares a key event each day within my week, from doctor's appointments, deep cleaning with ritual intention, an April walk in the SNOW!, baking for mom and then ending today, editing day :DAt the end of the video I also chat about how I did the ritual deep clean, giving ideas (but not a tutorial) on how to ritual up your cleaning routine using cleaning bases, but adding magick to the mundance with plant spirit allies.I sincerely hope you like the new style of videos and welcome your feedback always! It is 10am and we have to be out of the house at 6am tomorrow for mom's blood work (Saturday) but I hope after that and errands, I will have enough time to get out a second video on Sunday. It will be another walk and talk in the April Snow this time!, on this witch's wheel of the year.Till then, many blessings, and thank you for walking with me in the snow!KaylaRecommended video suggested in this video:Fairland Cottage: Natural All Purpose Cleaneryoutu.be/PiB30m3GqIUSHOP MY LOOK, TOOLS & SUPPLIES:Coming soon!

A Wayward Life | Rainy Days & Mondays | Walk & Talk on : Self Care Rituals | Grocery Blessing PDF! Kayla Alyssa 2021-04-17 | #slowlivingwitch #selfcarerituals #cottagewitcheryHello my beautiful wayward souls! I woke up Monday morning with rain tapping at my window, bringing a big smile to my face! So I did my version of a vlog (which I understand is simply a blog by video) and shared some parts of my daily life and how I make it filled with ritual and intention.The video ends with a simplified version of my Bringing Home the Bones ritual, which I modified for blessing and showing gratitude to my groceries. I will be posting it later today on my Patreon as a PUBLIC offering, meaning anyone can visit my Patreon and download the PDF :DThe full Bringing Home the Bones which I created for ritual items, will be my gift to my Hedge Witch Patreons this month.Please note, this video does contain meat, so if you are Vegan and will be bothered by it, you will want to stop watching when you see the Grocery Blessing Introduction title screen appear. That said, I do hope you will still read the ritual PDF so you can understand how I honour both plant and animals that sustain my existence. BONUS! I am testing out if I can actually do two uploads on the weekend! So watch out for a second video on Sunday as I take you Into The Mystic ;)Many blessings!KaylaSHOP MY LOOK, TOOLS & SUPPLIES:Amazon Affiliate links Coming soon!

On the Concept of | Witch Aesthetics | Own your Space! Kayla Alyssa 2021-04-10 | #witchaesthetics #sacredspace #witchaltarsHave you noticed that there is a lot of pressure not just to 'witch' your craft a certain way, but also on what a witch's altar and sacred space, even homes, should look like?

Please join me for a discussion on my views regarding the actual importance of owning your own aesthetic.

A Wayward Life | Daily Routines | 5 Minute Simple Morning Ritual Kayla Alyssa 2021-04-03 | #morningritual #dailyroutines #slowlivingHello my wayward souls and witches! Over the course of my Equinox workings I took the time to record some footage to share my day with you, and this is one of those moments! Because there was hope that the world would begin to open up again, and I could start job hunting (on the day I was editing this video we actually just got put into another lockdown in Toronto, but I know it's for the best), I need to start addressing a more practical morning ritual. This ritual is less than 5 minutes and requires very little other than:A hot oil burner and the tealight and oils you would use for ritual intentions.A dish and some edible representation of manifestation, such as seeds, nuts, microgreens. If like me, you also make offerings to the spirits of land/aka the birds and animals you can make sure it's safe for them as well!I definitely do what I refer to as long haul rituals, I have one in progress now, which is part of how I make plant spirit medicine, but I know it's important to adjust with your life as well. This ritual is quick, easy but powerful and I hope you find some inspiration in the outline. Make it your own, and please share your adaptations in the comments!Many blessings!KaylaThis channel is not meant to teach, simply to share my own personal practice and views.

Guided Meditation | Spring Spirit Guides Kayla Alyssa 2021-03-31 | #guidedmeditation #shamanicjourney #spiritguidesMany blessings my wayward souls!at the turn of the solar seasons, marked by the Equinoxes and Solstices, I do a guided meditation, which I wrote, to find the plant medicine, animal spirits, and crystal healers who wish to work with me during the season. It is one of my favorites, and I am so excited share it with you all. There are different way you can approach the meditation! You can simply close your eyes and listen and allow the plant, animal and crystal spirits to journey to you through the liminal space that meditations create. But I know not everyone finds this approach easy, so here are some other ways to work with this meditation.Oracle Decks: If you have oracle decks that show plant, animal and/or crystals you can shuffle the deck(s) and lay them in front of you before you begin the mediation. At the point in the meditation where you 'encounter' the specific guide, pull one of the guards.Bowl or Bag and charms/tokens/notes: Another approach is to place several of your crystals in a bag and pull one at the appropriate part of the meditation. If you have a herbal cabinet, or spices in your kitchen, you can write down the names on strips of paper, fold them up and place them in a bowl, and pull one to work with. For animal guides, you can do the same. I do recommend writing down animals that are 'of the land where you live', however, I would also include animals from the lands of my ancestors as well. Let spirit guide you on the list, in the end you will pull one each, of a plant, crystal and animal guide.If there is an interest, and you would like me to repeat the meditation for each season, please let me know in the comments! I should note, that only the journey to the cabin and the items in the cabin change to set the season and mood, the journey itself remains the same. In a few days I will add a poll to the Community tab so we can take a vote!I can't wait for your feedback! If it works for you and you wish to share which animal, plant or crystals stepped forward, please do! If you found a different way to work with my guided meditation, please share that as well!For now, as always, I encourage you to embrace the dark to find the light and live in balance.Namaste and blessed be!KaylaFor those who are interested, I purchased the beautiful art print from: poisonappleprintshop.com - you can also find her on IG!SOCIAL MEDIA IG | @my.wayward.lifePATREONIf you are interested in supporting the creation of my videos, please join me on Patreon: patreon.com/mywaywardlifeWEBSITE|BLOG:mywaywardlife.caETSY | etsy.com/ca/shop/WaywardWitchCa My Etsy is a pop up store where I share small batches of ritual creations I use in my own practice.

Spring Equinox | Restore the Balance | Embrace the Light Kayla Alyssa 2021-03-27 | #springtime #slowliving #greenwitchcraftI am so grateful for the time you have all given me to, essentially, practice what I 'teach', and embrace the dark to find my light again. In this video I share a glimpse of my different activities actually completed and filmed on the Vernal Equinox. But don't worry, there are several full length videos that go into more detail in the works!I mainly wanted to speak a little about the energy of the Equinox. The energy of reclaiming a balance within yourself. There is also a little shout-out at the end to three channels that kept my spirits up over the past few months and inspire me with their content. You most likely all know BEX :D, but the other two are non-witchy channels, and I hope you will check them out as well xo.Bex: The Witches CookeryKay: Living the Life you LoveDesi: Darling DesiI am back in my happy place with you all, and excited for the videos I am currently working on. My one challenge will be not posting them all at once, but once a week-ish ;DThank you again, for your patience and support. It truly means the world!Many blessings on the Spring Equinox, I hope it provided a time for you to embrace the dark, and find your light, so that you may live in balance.Much love,KaylaThis channel is not meant to teach, simply to share my own personal practice and views.

A Journey to Self Acceptance | Elixir of Love | Plant Spirit Medicine Kayla Alyssa 2021-02-15 | #greenwitch #lovepotion #selflove#plantspiritmedicine #selfacceptance #shadowworkNamaste And blessed be my Wayward Witches!This is the final gift to you, my Valentine’s as it were, for the Witch’s Journey to Self Acceptance series.I sincerely hope you found some value and use in the videos and rituals that I shared. Normally, rituals are reserved for my Patreon | Hedge Witches, but these were too important not to share. In addition to the two previous rituals shared on YouTube, you can find a Luna Bath Ritual (Bonus content – Green Witches), a Candle Banishing Ritual (Hedge Witch Ritual) and the Sugar Skull ritual (Bonus content – Cottage Witches) on my Patreon for this month. Before I get into the beautiful spirit tribe that make up this elixir, I must stress I am not a certified herbalist or medically trained. I have studied and worked with plants for over 30 years for personal use only and have also enrolled in professional training in both Ayurveda and Herbalism, but will always consider myself a student. This plant spirit tribe came to me for my workings and I did my research on their medical properties, not their magickal ones. I did a video on how to set up your own ritual apothecary which I will link both above and below because I do believe it is important to understand that even if you are working with plants for their spiritual and magickal aid, their medical properties do not turn off. There are contra-indicators which can affect medications you are on, pre-existing issues and yes, can even off balance herbal remedies you are taking but canceling it out or making the effects more potent. So before making this or any other remedy seen in books or online, do your own research and consult with your medical doctor. That said, I’d like to introduce you to my plant spirit tribe for self acceptance.Channel Updates! Going forward, I will be making changes to my YouTube channel to bring it back into alignment with my original intentions, to have a ‘lifestyle/slow living’ channel, that just happens to be by a witch. So some content will be witchy, and some won’t be. We are whole beings, and I prefer to share my life as such. The bulk of my witchy content will be on Patreon, but again, you will still see witchy basics and concepts shared here.Much love, Kayla SOCIAL MEDIA IG | @my.wayward.lifePATREONIf you are interested in supporting the creation of my videos, please join me on Patreon: patreon.com/mywaywardlifeWEBSITE|BLOG:mywaywardlife.caETSY | etsy.com/ca/shop/WaywardWitchCa My Etsy is a pop up store where I share small batches of ritual creations I use in my own practice.

A Journey to Self-Acceptance | The Art of Kitsugi | Crafting a Protection Shield Kayla Alyssa 2021-02-08 | #kitsugi #rewritingthenarrative #selfacceptance #shadowwork #hedgewitch #spiritcrafting #witchcrafting #bodymindsoul #waywardwitchcovenWelcome my Wayward Witches and Wayward Souls. This month is known for many as the month of love, and it can cause a lot of hurts and wounds for those who have never felt worthy of receiving love. It's not all roses and chocolates and candle light dinners. For some, it's a time to embrace shadow work around the most basic spiritual journey, self-acceptance. Before you can embark on a journey of self-care, you need to feel self-love. But I learned over the years, and am still learning, that before I can fully embrace self-love, I have to embrace self-acceptance. The journey I am sharing with you this month is a personal one. The rituals are ones I created for my own journey, and I share them with you here in perfect love, and perfect trust, with harm to none. They are not shared seeking self-pity, or any other such energy. They are shared to remind you that you hold the power to change your narrative, to honour your scars, to take ownership of your own responsibility in your journey (the good, bad and ugly of it) and in the end, to embrace yourself as a holistic spiritual being. Working with the concept of Kitsugi, in this ritual we will Spirit-Craft A Witch’s Shield of Power. Like any knight, your shield has protected you through many battles, and it is scarred and worn. Honour each scar, each break for the strength it has given you in the end. You Survived. Honour that with A Witch’s Shield of Power.If you find the rituals and information I share regarding my journey helpful, please consider supporting this channel. You can do so via my Patreon, linked below. Patreon also allows for one time contributions, and every bit of support truly is appreciated and helps with recovering cost and preparing for future workings for this Channel.I am not a mental health professional, but will be the first to say that I have had therapy in the past, and it was awesome. But you also have to go with the readiness to progress your own path, your own being. If you are struggling beyond the scope of some healing rituals, shared by this wayward sister, please reach out to professionals. With much love, let our journey together begin. Namaste, and blessed be. Kayla Alyssa Your Shakti Shaman in Service as, The Wayward WitchThis channel is not meant to teach, simply to share my own personal practice and views.

On the Concept of | Rose of Jerico | Plant Spirits Kayla Alyssa 2021-02-06 | #greenwitch #hedgewitch #shamanicwitch#roseofjerico #lgbtqwitches #transgenderwitchesNamaste And blessed be my Wayward Witches!In January I shared a PDF with my Green Witches on some of the ways I work with the beautiful Plant Spirit of Rose of Jerico. Because of the very limited ways she is ‘used’ in most videos, posts, pins etc., I decided it was important for me to share some ‘off (witch) books that you can connect with her for ritual and healing.On Youtube you will most often see this unique plant spirit ‘used’ as a tool for manifestation, abundance or money workings. But her gifts and energy far exceed these concepts. She is a gift of healing and has been my companion in workshops I have created to honour the transitions through a woman’s life cycle (from first menses to last), for journeying as a portal to other realms, for self healing and many other workings. So let’s take it back to basics, and do a little learning off-book to explore different ways to work with The Rose of Jerico.I refer to this healing gift of spirit from the Earth as the Phoenix Root, for her energy is a constant reminder that we can rebirth and reclaim the strength within us, allowing us to recreate our lives through healing, with spirit and her beautiful energy are great additions, or foundations, for many rituals and spell workings. In this video we will explore three. Woman’s Rites Journey or Shadow work, and Self Healing and Acceptance.Many blessings, and in all things, remember to embrace the dark to find your light, and live in balance.Much love, Kayla This channel is not meant to teach, simply to share my own personal practice and views.

A Journey to Self Acceptance | Re-Writing The Narrative Kayla Alyssa 2021-02-01 | #theholywild #rewritingthenarrative #selfacceptance#shadowwork #hedgewitch #workingtherootWelcome my Wayward Witches and Wayward Souls. This month is known for many as the month of love, and it can cause a lot of hurts and wounds for those who have never felt worthy of receiving love. It's not all roses and chocolates and candle light dinners. For some, it's a time to embrace shadow work around the most basic spiritual journey, self-acceptance.Before you can embark on a journey of self-care, you need to feel self-love. But I learned over the years, and am still learning, that before I can fully embrace self-love, I have to embrace self-acceptance.The first ritual in this series was inspired by a book I purchased a few years back: The Holy Wild by Danielle Dulsky. In this book, Danielle does Revisioning of Herstories that are truly inspiring. The Revisioning of Salome inspired this ritual, and I am grateful for the permission granted by Danielle Dulsky to share the story here in my video, so you have a better foundation for the ritual itself.You can purchase The Holy Wild on amazon or visit Danielle's website directly. danielledulsky.com/books/the-holy-wildAnd no, this isn't sponsored by anything other than inspiration xox :)The journey I am sharing with you this month is a personal one. The rituals are ones I created for my own journey, and I share them with you here in perfect love, and perfect trust, with harm to none. They are not shared seeking self-pity, or any other such energy. They are shared to remind you that you hold the power to change your narrative, to honour your scars, to take ownership of your own responsibility in your journey (the good, bad and ugly of it) and in the end, to embrace yourself as a holistic spiritual being.I am not a mental health professional, but will be the first to say that I have had therapy in the past, and it was awesome. But you also have to go with the readiness to progress your own path, your own being. If you are struggling beyond the scope of some healing rituals, shared by this wayward sister, please reach out to professionals. With much love, let our journey together begin.Namaste, and blessed be.Kayla AlyssaYour Shakti Shaman in Service as,The Wayward WitchThis channel is not meant to teach, simply to share my own personal practice and views.

MUSIC | www.epidemicsound.comEDITING | Davinci Resolve 16CAMERA | don’t laugh :P | Canon EOS Rebel T3RECIPE:THE RECIPE FOR: THE QUICKENINGBlood of the Earth: the pomegranate jelloDissolve 1.5 tsp gelatin powder into ¼ cup boiling water, stirring constantly.Add ½ cup Pomegranate juice and pour into your chosen sacred vessels. Let set in the fridge for a minimum of 2-3 hours.Body of the Earth: The crumbleSelect or bake a spice cookie, I recommend the one I shared here for the #21daystilyule: youtu.be/6V4UIO-iupQCrumble in a food processor if you have one, I don’t so I placed the cookies in between wax paper, taped up the ends and used a rolling pin! Worked just as well.You will need about 1 cup, though I did have extra.Mix with 3 tbsp melted butter and 2 tbsp brown sugar.I then cooked it on the stove top stirring in that warming earth and enjoying the spicy scents. Let cool completely and break into crumbles resemble the rich soil beneath the snow.Snowy Protection: Coconut Milk Panna CottaOn medium heat bring 13.5 ozs of coconut milk to a simmer, stirring in intention constantly.OPPS: I forget to mention in the video, you will also need to add ½ tsp vanilla extract, sorry :DAdd 1 tbsp maple syrup and stir till dissolved, reduce heat while you prepare the gelatin.Add 2 tbsp boiling water to 1.5 tsp gelatin powder, stir quickly to dissolve and add to the coconut milk on the stove top, again, stirring continuously to ensure the gelatin is both dissolved and fully incorporated. Take off heat and let cool but not harden. You don’t want it steaming hot as it will melt the pomegranate layer.Constructing the Magick:Intentionally add the earth layer, and top with the snowy coconut milk panna cotta.Refrigerate a minimum of 6 hours or over night to be safe. This is always the tricky part for me, so my fingers are crossed for you!Enjoy in ritual space, with focused intentional eating as you take in that magick of possibilities, what ever you decided that should be for you. Imbolc blessings, and may the quickening awakening desire and potential within.Kayla AlyssaThe Wayward Witch
On the Concept of | Healthy & Spiritual Way to Burn Incense Kayla Alyssa 2021-01-10 | Greetings my wayward witches!Welcome to my new playlist series which introduces the basic practices and concepts of my workings. This video outlines how I work with incense and what I use for charcoal burning.I also outline why I use bamboo charcoal and both the health and spiritual benefits of doing so. Throughout the video you will also get a few glimpses of my own process for this particular working, which involved 'sweeping' liminal space which is a process I would do for such things as journey work and distance healing. I had intended to film in real time, but did have to speed up almost all of the clips or it would have been way too long, so I hope you get a sense of the time and commitment the process could, and should, take ;)If you are interested making the switch to bamboo charcoal, I purchase mine from Scents of the Earth and have provided links below. That said, this video is not sponsored, and you can find pure Japanese Bamboo charcoal squares on Amazon.ca as well.Bamboo Charcoal (Small) - Baieido - Scents of Earth (scents-of-earth.com)Natural Square Charcoal - Shoyeido (scents-of-earth.com)White Chaff Ash - Baieido - Scents of Earth (scents-of-earth.com)For additional information on working with incense, I highly recommend Bex’s video over at the Witches’ Cookery: youtu.be/njLLRlcmWWcArticles to consider for potential health issues when burning commercial grade incense:Indoor incense burning impacts cognitive functions and brain functional connectivity in community older adults | Scientific Reports (nature.com)Incense smoke: clinical, structural and molecular effects on airway disease (nih.gov)Till next time, many blessings, and in all things, remember to embrace the dark to find your light, and live in balance.Much love, KaylaThis channel is not meant to teach, simply to share my own personal practice and views.

On the Concept of | The Magick of Snow | A Snowball fight for the Soul Kayla Alyssa 2021-01-06 | #21daystilyule #broomclosetmagick #weathermagick #winterwitch Happy New Year my Wayward Witches! And welcome back to sacred space! This is actually my final video for the #21daystilyule series, yup, finally made it to day 21! and was filmed on Christmas Day. It is a short and sweet share of a ritual that spontaneously happened while filming that morning, as the Winter Fae whispered it's purpose in my ear, and I had to share it with you all. This is another great video for my #broomclosetwitches, for whom I have created a playlist! Wayward Witch | Broom Closet Magick youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNZwjzcywwqtiTvJ40KAamHsrCgmOfO2e Although I was raised on (and love the structure and discipline of) ritual, Magick doesn't always have to be complex, or require anything but you and a snowfall. I hope you enjoy this video and that your New Year has been amazing! Speaking of which, I am also working on a 're-enactment' :P of my New Years Eve and Day ritual. It's another simple share that can easily be adapted for my broom closet practitioners. I am also adding two other new playlists this year! • Wayward Witch | Basic Concepts of Witchcraft • Wayward Witch | Daily Practices & Everyday Magick Till then, thank you all for spending time with me and supporting my journey. It's been the best part of 2020 and I can't wait to continue to offer you videos and posts here and on my Patreon. Much love, and as always, I encourage you to embrace the dark to find the light, and live in balance.

Something rather unexpected happened as I finished the week long prep and filming what was going to be my only videos for December, my beautiful friend Bex over at The Witches' Cookery on YT and IG created a hashtag challenge for December!

A little flu bug took me down for the count, but never count me out 😉 My videos may be late, but they are coming! For my belated Day 13, I wanted to share my slightly edited version of a Pagan Poem, for which the author is sadly unknown. It generally circulates around the Yule/Winter Solstice and is about whom I refer to as Father Winter, you may know him as Santa Claus!The poem is about a little child who comes home upset because the big kids were telling him Santa isn’t real, and how a good pagan parent, or in my case, Auntie, deals with this. Despite my childhood, or may be because of it, I always believed, and always will, in the Spirit of Father Winter. I hope, after watching this video you will too.Many of you have found me because of my beautiful friend Bex. Like me, I am sure you are completely inamoured with her sweet little boy. I decided to do this video because of him, and it’s dedicated to him, and to all those who hold the wonder of a child within their hearts.In the New Year I do plan to focus on my Patreon account but hope to have at least one or two videos up on YouTube as well :) I hope to do at least one public posts a month that outlines what to expect on my Patreon so you have an idea of the types of offerings made there.

A little flu bug took me down for the count, but never count me out 😉 My videos may be late, but they are coming! For my belated Day 11, I prepared a selection of my favourite Shadow or Journey oracle decks. In the video I do a quick walkthrough of the cards as I read a little about each deck from the handbook. At the end of the video I do a three card pull, one from each deck, and read the guidance from the handbook to provide a sample of what to expect. These videos are definitely a labour of love! I initially filmed the raw footage last week before I the flu I was fighting for a few days got worse, but the cards were really out of focus (yes, I am saving up for a decent newer camera ;P), so I refilmed this this week. Total hours for filming, editing, preparing and recording the voiceover script, (not including the 3-4hrs to upload… 21 hours, and totally worth it to give back to those who are supporting my journey here.

She remains my happy place on YouTube!You can find Bex: youtube.com/channel/UCyXvjYln49ZTxZ2qh8PWxWg Her first #21daystilyule video here: youtube.com/watch?v=nDLSSbFhDNQ I am joining in on odd days only, and am afraid this is a little late going up, but welcome to Day 9! This video offers an authentic moon milk recipe for a hot cocoa to snuggle up with on a cold winter’s night with a good movie or a great book! It also provides some clarity on what a traditional moon milk is and the culture and traditions it comes from. It’s not a fad, but a thousand year old practice from my ancestors in India!My Favourite Seasonal Movies!My list varies from 'kids' movies to rom-coms! Just like Hocus Pocus is a staple in the fall, The Santa Clause Movies are in the winter. I love movies that actually take place at the 'North Pole' and feature Father Winter and the magick surrounding his legend. I also love watching The Legend of the Wings, I am a big kid at heart, always will be. For the past several years my favourite Rom-Com has been the Holiday, but not so much because of the romance, more the journey the two lead actress go on. I've spend more than 30 Solstices/Christmases alone, so I really related to that movie. The other two that might surprise you, or not if you know me well, is Surviving Christmas, and Fred Claus. Again, relatable movies for me, :D.There are a few on my list to see still, like the Man Who Invented Christmas. I did purchase it but have yet to see it. And sometimes you will find some really obscure ones on Prime that are pretty good. I saw one last year that I wish I could remember! I will more than likely update this in a few days, but it's midnight and I'm going on four hours sleep, so for now.....In the New Year I do plan to focus on my Patreon account but hope to have at least one or two videos up on YouTube as well :) I hope to do at least one public posts a month that outlines what to expect on my Patreon so you have an idea of the types of offerings made there.

Something rather unexpected happened as I finished the week long prep and filming for the pomander and witch ladder videos, my beautiful friend Bex over at The Witches' Cookery on YT and IG created a hashtag challenge for December!

Day 1 was loaded this morning and Day 3 is right on schedule! Yeay!This video is the ‘part 2’ video deconstructing the Pomander and using the concept to create a Winter's Hope Witch's Ladder talisman for abundance in the New Year! The first half is sharing research on the actual history of the Witch Ladder, followed by the magickal essential oils worked into the ladder I created for abundance in 2021. In this section you will find the website and the authors bibliography used to compile the research shared.In the New Year I do plan to focus on my Patreon account but hope to have at least one or two videos up on YouTube as well :) I hope to do at least one public posts a month that outlines what to expect on my Patreon so you have an idea of the types of offerings made there.

Tips for Setting up your Ritual Apothecary | Herb Cabinet Kayla Alyssa 2020-09-17 | #greenwitch #ritualapothecary #plantspiritmedicine#hedgewitch #plantspiritallies #BabywitchtipsHi everyone, and thank you so much for journeying with me, and being patient about the wait for my latest video. I have been busy with final touches to the Ritual Apothecary and the important role it’s going to play in the launch of my Etsy Shop: The Simmering Cauldron!This video provides 5 tips on starting your herbal witchy/healing cabinet based on my own practice and experiences.I hope you find it useful! If you have any additional tips you’d like to share, please add them to the comments so we can all learn from each other. We all have our own practices and methods, please remember, my channel is based on my own practice, but it also holds sacred space for any visiting here. So respect and compassion in responding to each other is requested.If you are interested in the shop, I will be doing some ‘unboxing’ videos to share some of the items going up. The main box sets will be to help get you started, or add to, your own ritual apothecary and sacred working altars. They will include ritually crafted soy candles, herbal samplers, my signature pure botanical energy mysts, salt and tea blends and more. As some of you know, I test ran a store on Shopify a few years back and every time I saw my creations being welcomed into a client’s sacred space… my heart and soul just felt such warmth and acceptance it meant everything. I am really excited to share my personal journey with any who are interested in bringing some of my magick home with you.As I do have a full time job, the store is seasonal and more of a pop up so please follow me on IG with notifications on for Stories and Posts to receive updates on new creations.I hope you are all staying safe, and as always I encourage you to embrace the dark to find the light, and live in balance.Namaste and Blessed be, Kayla Alyssa(Shakti Shaman – hereditary witch)Reiki Master, TeacherThis is a safe and sacred space, period.

Kitchen Magick | Lemon Thyme Cookie | Accepting What Cant be Changed and moving on. Kayla Alyssa 2020-07-04 | #greenwitch #kitchenwitch #practicalmagic#herbalmagick #cookingwithbotanicals #plantspiritalliesI do love my kitchen magick, the main reason is it's another way to layer energy and intention into your life towards an intention. Nothing happens overnight, so findings ways to fuel your energy helps. This cookie comes at a 'thyme' when I had to realize that "it's not me, it's them" actually is a true thing. But this realization may take place in situations where you can't necessarily physically move on. It provides an energetic way to emotionally release. Essentially: Accepting What Can't be Changed and Allowing yourself to move on energetically and emotionally.I do have PDFs for this recipe ritual as well, but am still trying to determine the best way to share it. I am thinking of creating a Patreon for what I hope will be a fair exchange of 'energy' allowing me to provide you with the PDFs I have created, and offering those interested an opportunity to help support my channel. Would love your thoughts!Till next time, much love - from me :)This channel is not meant to teach, simply to share my own personal practice and views.

It's based on my own take and years of experience or my lineage approach and teachings from my grandparents.This video is part 2 of my Summer Solstice workings. Both videos outline ways that I show gratitude and offerings to the spirits I work with all year. In this video I share my adaptation of a Honey Cake recipe I found at:moodymoon.com - link provided below. By working with my plant spirit allies, I added additional intentional energy to both the honey and milk used in the honey cake creation. It is the first time I used this particular recipe, it was quite dense, but enjoyable. I may try another recipe next year.

Summer Solstice & Midsummer | Intro & Honey Infusion Kayla Alyssa 2020-06-14 | #summersolstice #litha #midsummerseve#greenwitch #kitchenwitch #practicalmagic#spirittotems #grandmotherbear #honeyinfusionMy Name is Kayla Alyssa, and I am the wayward witch.My Witchcraft Off Book Series provides a different prespective than the ones found in most books, blogs or videos for working your craft. It's based on my own take and years of experience or my lineage approach and teachings from my grandparents.During this video I would like to share how I view the Summer solstice and Midsummer’s eve, for they are two very separate occasions in my practice. The calendar marks the Summer Solstice as the start of summer, I celebrate it as Summer’s end, a journey through to the heart of winter..During the video I will be creating a Honey Infusion which will be part of both my Summer Solstice and Midsummer’s offerings to Grandmother Bear, and the Fae Court.The honey has actually finished macerating and was strained on the last quarter moon of June, ready and waiting for the Solstice! I also provide a little teaser of a test run on the Honey Cakes I plan on making on the Solstice, which will be uploaded later this week!This is a safe and sacred space, period.

Kitchen Magick | Rose Sigil Cookie | Find Harmony in Discord | Selflove & Boundaries Kayla Alyssa 2020-06-10 | #greenwitch #kitchenwitch #practicalmagic #sigilmagick#rosemagick #bakingmagick #plantspiritalliesIn this ritually created intention setting recipe, Rose assists in a similar way as she did in the Rose Syrup Video. She will help ease grief caused by strained relationships, and help you to remember your strength during trying times. She will also help you let go of the past, so you can move on from a place of love and acceptance of both yourself and the individual (or individuals) you are sharing this cookie with.Although this cookie was made with a mother and daughter in mind, it can easily be adapted for any relationship where you need to sit down, break bread and make peace. It can be a roommate, coworker or family member.In this video I also work with embossed rolling pins as a form of 'sigil magick' in my creation. I hope to do a short video to share my three embossed rollers and the different ways each can be used with intention for sigil baking.I am still trying to figure out how to share the PDFs I have created for you to accompany most of my videos. So far I have one for this video and the Rose Syrup. If you are interested, please DM me on my IG account below and I will be happy to email you a copy.

It is because of the sun’s light that the beauty of the moon is revealed to us. In my practice, this energy reminds me to see beyond what is readily visible, to look for the truths that are hidden and to see clearly into the darkness.:With all that is happening in the world, spirits from all the kingdoms and realms, are there to guide us if we are open to it, to help us manifest tools to cope with what we are facing in our lives.
