At this point I am using the large Maple tree in my backyard to gather Earth energy. While I’m in my house, I visualize the tree with me inside it with my arms as the branches, my body as the trunk, and my feet as its roots going into the ground. I pull the energy into me for my working and then go back to the tree to return the used and excess energy into the Earth. I like to use pictures in my workings … I wonder if I used a picture of someplace like Stonehenge if I could pull any energy from that connection. … I’ll try that and see how it goes. I’ve started reading Condensed Chaos … There is a lot of information in the book, and I’ve just read the first chapter 😂😂😂 I hope you have a good week, Tammy

I just want to tell you how grateful I am to have found your channel. This is exactly what I had been looking for, a channel where I can learn and be referred to good books. The way you covey information is so easy to digest and get excited about to learn more. I will be incorporating your videos as "lectures" into my private witch studies lol. Sending you love beautiful soul 🥰🥰💖💖

Super nice compendium of available energies for our workings!

[TheKatgrrl]

Thank you so much for making the kind of in-depth content that you do! The ins and outs of raising energy and energy work as they pertain to spellcraft are rarely covered in detail on the witchy side of YouTube, which is unfortunate because it’s one of the most important aspects of successful magick. I’ve learned so much from your channel and I hope you continue to make more amazing videos like this!

[Dburke]

I know this is a late response but I would LOVE a video on baneful magick!

I love working with deity energy! Before I moved onto the Hellenic Pantheon (which I now call home at the moment), I worked with the Archangels as I dipped my toes back into the craft. It was an eye opening experienced to how powerful we and other beings can be

Ughhh, I love your videos so much. No only do I learn things, but you inspire me to use my knowledge in new and creative ways.

Some ideas to contribute: a water Witcher once told me he noticed that everywhere two pipes met underground and a tree was growing on top, the tree would grow in a spiral. I started looking around my town, and sure enough, every old spiral-growth oak was where a city water line would meet one that ran into a house, or where, a city waterline intersection was. So, not only are there little water vortexes everywhere with actual kinetic energy, but the waterlines themselves are flowing and have kinetic energy. This makes me think about the flow of electricity over our heads in power lines. Or using *actual* batteries, because hey, it works for ghosts right? Or, an old school candle flame. In addition, feng shui considers roads to have a flowing energy of sorts, and houses who are at an intersection need protection from the extra energy flowing directly at their house. The severity of this depends on how busy the road is. Just some thoughts for that intersection magic you were talking about. Oh! And road intersections in cities and suburbs will also have waterlines and power lines converging there as well. I love using all of my environment, including the suburbs and cities, which I consider “human habitats” much like termite mounds or anthills.

I always grounding myself and pushing branches from my crown in the same time. Like a Tree of Life. Harmony and Balance.

Thank you Ivy for sharing your thoughts! Just wanted to share another possibility that my guides taught me - I tap into the four elements for energy at the same time (and I visualize what they specifically do for the spell), and then add my own.

[matilachiesa]

I really appreciated this video because even though it's "basic", apart from reading it in books, I've never seen this type of specific energy content before! Loved it, thanks 🥰

[Shadowman]

Whoa!!! That was pretty fascinating! The use of various energy sources is something I don't think I've considered or thought of...very cool Ivy, thanks for sharing this knowledge! 🤘🍎🐍

I have heard of rock stars working a huge event not getting a wink of sleep and meeting the following morning wide awake walking a beach trying to wind down from the concert they held the day before. I don't remember which rock stars they were or what event they were playing, but I have to imagine that playing huge shows and feeling the energy up on stage and getting the energy from the crowd has to be crazy. I just wish I remembered who it was or what interview I heard that in.

[kathleenroberts]

Very inspiring! I will watch again later when I can make notes to put in my grimoire. Thank you!

[lindasmithers]

Thank you Ivy, that's a great idea. Using "land spirits" in home protection.

[karenmcgarry]

energy source for this caregiver...blessings to Ivy!🍀

[twinkle]

Also, I really love the idea of the branches technique, I’m definitely adding that to my practice ❤

[jerrimenard]

For me, I find Saturn energy is very Earth connected. It's so helpful in setting limits and gaining wisdom. Often I view that energy as the masculine form of what Mother Earth offers. This planet is being destroyed, it"s just festering. I get this sense that Saturn could spank a few of the most ardent offenders. I highly recommend cultivating a relationship with him. I am learning a lot.

I always use Reiki for my witchcraft. It works wonders. I will employ your tethering technique to my practice as well. Thank you! Honestly...I always feel super witchy when I send out reiki to others or animals or to objects; its like sending out magick through your hands like in a movie or something!

So my source would be Universal life force energy. But I can also use Hekatean energy because thats a major part of my practice, I was attuned and initiated by Hekate so I think itd be easier to use her energy for any other type of magickal spell.
