Basics of Spiritual Cleansing || Witchcraft 101

Great video, but just a note of caution to the newer witches out there since this is a 101 video: not all crystals should be cleansed in running water. Some can dissolve when placed in water, others can synthesize toxic materials when placed in water for too long. Some crystals to avoid water cleansing are Selenite, Malachite, Lapis Lazuli, Fluorite, Calcite, Desert Rose, Labradorite, or Halite, just off the top of my head. There are others as well so please do your research. Also with cleansing sprays, if you own cats, they are very sensitive to different chemicals and essential oils fall in that category, cats aren't able to metabolize certain oils and such safely, so take care around your little floof balls and again, do your research! Blessed be everyone. 🖤

One way I love cleansing my home is when its raining I open all my windows and doors including the front door. The sound and breeze coming from the rain cleanses the energy in my home and charges it. It's also super peaceful and smells so nice.

When she said pot of dirt my mind went to “IVE GOT A JAR OF DIRT IVE GOT A JAR OF DIRTT”

Little safety tip for those unaware about the sun and stones like quartz! Quartz can concentrate sunlight to such levels as it can start fires, so please be super careful if you are exposing your quartz to sunlight. Do not leave it unattended and if you have a big gorgeous crystal ball, please be sure to cover it when not in use if it's in an area that gets any sunlight. Safety and mindfulness in practice always loves!

I cleanse my room every day because my kids come in my room daily with their negativity lol 🤦‍♀️😂

i’ve been on and off trying to get into the witch community but i keep getting discouraged by the lack of sincere guidance. but now that i’ve found your channel i feel like i can finally start the journey!

My favourite part about the practice: How contagious the positivity is :3

I like taking a shower and envisioning all the negative energy going down the drain. You can put a symbol symbol of protection on your wash cloth with your favorite liquid soap and soap up your body . I really love your your videos. They are just so relaxing.

Absolutely agree, cleansing is so important (and we could all do more) Friendly reminders: DO NOT CLEANSE SELENITE WITH WATER IT WILL DETERIORATE. Same goes with most 'ite' suffix stones. Malachite is toxic when wet so, be extra careful. Be sure to research and know your Crystals inside and out prior to doing anything with them! Great video! Very insightful and lovely!

Literally every time a new video comes to an end I say "f*ck I love her" .. lol 😎

You're a lovely teacher. Cleansing is so important! If someone's on their first steps of their path, I'd say start with cleansing. It'll teach you so much about the energies that you're setting out to work with, and it's fairly straightforward. Plus, like Olivia said, it's the very foundation of witchcraft. I like to call it spiritual hygiene. It's just something you need to be doing, for your own good. I agree with spray being more concentrated and a bit harder to use - everyone who's tried to cleanse a whole house with a squirt bottle knows what I'm talking about 😂 I do, however, find it to be a lovely method to cleanse corners that are hard to reach, like up in the ceiling. It's also such a nice way to cleanse old furniture that you take into your home. I use moon water, a bit of vinegar and whatever herbs/essential oils I need for that purpose. No salt in furniture cleansing spray, as it might damage the material. Oh, and spraying plain moon water on your plants does them really really good. I love using sound too. It's so effective for waking up that stagnant energy that accumulates in corners, unused rooms, closets... A few claps and then some smoke in places where bad energy's accumulated, or the soft jingle of a bell in places where the energy just need a gentle wake up and lift. And it's so logical. I mean, we all know how much music can change the mood of a crowd, or in a room. Happy music will make people feel at ease, and aggressive music may make you feel angry or energised 🤷🏼‍♀️ Sound shifts energy and that's that.

"Remember where you bury your items for cleansing" I now imagine a squirrel witch doing this :D

I’ve been feeling run down and I realize I haven’t cleansed. I remember people telling me I was glowing and I couldn’t figure out why. Now I realize I’d recently saged and had a cleansing bath/tea and set intentions with candles and crystals 🥰

I love how Olivia's videos always motivate me to focus on my practice, since i tend to neglect it a lot due to Uni and lately the only cleansing that i can motivate my lazy ass to do is by combining visualization and tea (when it comes to myself) which sometimes makes me feel like a joke of a witch😅 (also another cool thing, i love the warm feeling i get because i can tell myself that im part of the wonderlust coven♥️♥️♥️)

"Use uplifting music" Me: plays uptown funk

I do a deep cleanse every new moon and do a sorta "relaxed" cleanse every full moon ✨ Like, my full moon cleanse is: "okay, we got a lot of work, so let's enjoy our spoils," while my new moon cleansing is: "Okay, let's prepare for the new month!"

another note about sage: if you are not Native/are obtaining sage from someone who is not, it's probably best not to use it!! because of the increased demand, sage is not being harvested correctly and it's becoming harder for Natives to obtain. using sage for weekly or monthly cleansing is not sustainable at all, especially when it's so important in many Native spiritual practices. unless it's part of your culture, try using another herb like rosemary :)

I thought I would mention this because I just learned it myself and was completely blown away after so many years, is that some fast burning charcoal discs and many incense brands in particular have really bad, toxic ingredients!😵 Like some sticks even have formaldehyde that many have been inhaling on top of the smoke in general. So please, please do your research before purchasing these items!

I didn’t know sage removes all energy
