00:03Welcome back to The Hemp Coven, or THC for short. If you're new here, I'm Scarlett, and we are a
00:09group of magical cannabis enthusiasts of legal age using legal products.
00:16Our meeting videos are more informational, and our ritual videos are demonstrations and explanations of various ritual spells and potions
00:25that correspond with things like moon phases and holidays.
00:31If you want to join The Hemp Coven, all you have to do is go to the description and use
00:36the Reddit link to request to join our Reddit, and don't forget to follow me here on Dailymotion as well.
00:44If you prefer not smoking, that's fine. I recommend doing your favorite breathing exercise or just taking a few deep
00:51breaths.
00:52In order to begin our meeting, we must first cast a circle. There are many ways to do this, but
00:57what I like to do is close my eyes, imagine a sphere around me, take a hit, and then imagine
01:03that sphere filling up with my smoke, cleansing and protecting me, and then we will move on to invite the
01:10entities that we want to join us.
01:12This time I have a rose cone from Blazy Susan, so this is the packaging. I have a discount code
01:20and link for Blazy Susan in the description.
01:26But for now we're going to light this puppy and pass our circle.
01:43The spirit of cannabis, I invoke you. Hades, king of the underworld, I invoke you. Persephone, queen of the underworld,
01:51I invoke you.
01:53Makaria, goddess of the blessed dead, I invoke you.
01:57Melano, goddess of the wandering dead, I invoke you.
02:01Hagate, goddess of witchcraft and liminal spaces, I invoke you.
02:06Eris, goddess of chaos and discord, I invoke you.
02:20I forgot to grab my holder. This is also a loading tool, and I got it from Blazy Susan too.
02:36For this week's meeting we will be discussing ancestor work.
02:40There are many ways and reasons to do ancestor work, such as communication, healing yourself, healing your ancestors,
02:48holding ancestors, holding ancestors accountable for their bad decisions and views, and more.
02:54Through magic you can have access to all ancestors, including ones that are not related to you by blood.
03:02All deceased people are ancestors. This can include those who are not human.
03:09I recently added my two deceased dogs to my altar, and I honor them and call upon them as I
03:17would any other ancestor.
03:24As far as human ancestors go, I work with my mom.
03:28For my own ancestor work, I typically communicate through various means, such as cards, smoke, fire, prayers.
03:37I honor them whenever I light an incense on my altar, and I invoke them for rituals, spells, potions, and
03:44in times of dire need.
03:51Communication with ancestors can be as simple or complex as you want.
03:56You can use cards, fire, smoke, spirit boards, bones, meditation, astral projection, and invocations.
04:05I like to do a one card draw from either my Edgar Allan Poe tarot deck or my cannabis oracle
04:13deck.
04:20Don't forget that you can always draw clarifiers if you need to.
04:24If you didn't see our intro to tarot video, a clarifier is an additional card that's drawn to help clarify
04:33the message of the previous cards.
04:42You can also invite ancestors to sesh with you, which I have shown examples of this in some of our
04:50previous videos.
05:00Ancestor healing is, as it sounds, helping ancestors heal from whatever they suffered from in life.
05:07As witches, we know that death is not the end.
05:12The soul still exists after death, which also means that it can be healed.
05:18I have witnessed how beneficial healing for the deceased can be.
05:25You can help them sever ties to people who hurt them.
05:28You can help them shake off the shame that was forced on them in life.
05:33You can help them expand their minds, allowing for more understanding and care for others.
05:40You can help them embrace their shadow selves.
05:44If you did not see last week's video on shadow work, the shadow self is essentially the part of yourself
05:52that is hidden away from the rest of the world.
06:05You can also ask deities or entities to help.
06:09Healing an ancestor will help to ensure that the ancestor can be the most authentic versions of themselves,
06:15and it helps to ensure that the ancestor will be a better, more whole person in their next life.
06:24Ancestor work can also help you heal.
06:27You can confront the ancestors who hurt you and the ones whose actions or opinions have indirectly caused your pain.
06:35You can choose to forgive them, or you can confront them and unbind them from yourself so that their afterlives
06:44and future lives won't be connected to you.
06:56Many witches will tell you that it's important to forgive your ancestors, but as somebody who went through torturous abuse,
07:06I do believe that some people don't deserve forgiveness, and I believe that there are ways to heal without forgiving
07:15those who hurt you.
07:16You can be all light and love if you want, but that doesn't mean that you have to forgive everyone.
07:23The choice is yours, but I recommend doing what feels right to you.
07:39Ancestor work doesn't have to be all about healing.
07:42You can also celebrate your ancestors or ask them to join any other celebration.
07:47Some ancestors made positive impacts, and it's important to celebrate them.
07:53Leave an offering for them outside or on your altar, light incense or candles in their honor.
07:59Sing their favorite songs, do their favorite dances, eat their favorite foods, create a fun ritual to celebrate them.
08:07You can celebrate specific ancestors or you can celebrate all ancestors who have had a positive impact on your life
08:15or the world.
08:17Have a token their honor, invite them to sesh with you.
08:20Don't forget you can use communication methods to ask for their opinions on how to celebrate this.
08:27That's all that I have for this week's meeting.
08:30Let me know your thoughts, questions, and insights in the comments, and I will respond to the best of my
08:37abilities.
08:38And let's dissolve our circle and thank the entities that joined us.
08:44Thank you, Spirit of Cannabis.
08:46Thank you, Hades.
08:48Thank you, Persephone.
08:49Thank you, Makaria.
08:51Thank you, Melano.
08:53Thank you, Hakate.
08:54Thank you, Eris.
08:55I treasure our time together and look forward to our next encounter.
09:07Thank you so much for watching this video.
09:09If you liked it, please like, comment, and share.
09:12If you want to join the Hemp Coven, all you have to do is go to the description.
09:17Use that Reddit link to request to join our Reddit.
09:21And don't forget to follow me here on Dailymotion as well so you can get notified of our new videos.
09:29If you want 10% off rolling papers like these, trays, tools, grinders, and more, the description has my link
09:38and discount code for Blazysusan.
09:40I highly recommend their products to every stoner.
09:46I've got their rose pre-rolled cone here and a loading tool that also doubles as a holder.
09:56That's from Blazysusan.
09:59And I have this ashtray with a de-bowler, which is so handy.
10:04If you don't have a de-bowler, I highly recommend you get one because it is a game changer.
10:10So, like I said, that link and discount code is in the description for Blazysusan.
10:17If you're looking for a high-quality vape, the description has my link to Yocan.
10:22They make vapes for dry herb cartridges and concentrates.
10:26I have the Silo.
10:27It's a concentrate vape.
10:30Here she is.
10:33And she's small, easy to use, variable temperatures, LED lights, all the bells and whistles.
10:43It's beautiful.
10:44Yocan makes some really great vaporizers.
10:46I highly recommend them.
10:48Check them out.
10:49That link is in the description.
10:50If you missed our previous videos, the description has links to our playlist on Daily Motion as well as my
10:58YouTube channel.
10:59My YouTube channel has our older videos that I have been meaning to transfer to Daily Motion.
11:09But I've been busy.
11:10Things happen.
11:11Whatever.
11:12I will transfer them when I get the time.
11:15But for now, our old videos are on YouTube.
11:17I can no longer post on YouTube because they suddenly decided that you can't use the word hemp in titles
11:24anymore.
11:24And they have blocked me from posting at all.
11:28But that's okay because we're here on Daily Motion.
11:31Again, thank you so much for watching this video.
11:34Stay spooky and magical.
11:36And I will see you in the comments and in our subreddit.
11:40Thanks, guys.
11:53I love it.
11:54We love it.
11:56We love it.
11:58We love it.
12:00We love it.
12:00We love it.
12:02Bye.
