- Hi, I'm Olivia.
I'm the Witch of Wanderlust
here on YouTube and on Instagram.
And last year my friend Meg and I
did a winter solstice craft video.
We thought it'd be fun to go out and get some sticks
and just make some witchy little crafts.
And this year I thought, for some reason,
I don't know what possessed me with the idea
that I should get all of my friends together
to do witchy crafts.
So, this is that video.
This is almost all of my friends
in one video
trying to make witchy solstice crafts.
The good news is they were on their best behavior.
The bad news is
this is their best behavior.
But either way,
I hope that you like watching all of my non witchy friends
make some witchy crafts.
Enjoy.
(clap)
- Oh we got to sync the audio, clap.
- No we don't.
- Synch the audio.
- One, two, three
(clap)
(applause)
- Shut up
- One more.
- One.
- Everybody clap your hands,
(clapping)
- 10 hops this time.
- Is that a copyright strike?
- No it's not.
I don't know why I thought this video was a good idea.
So we don't have sticks this year.
It's going to be a lot more like simple things
because you know, we have children with us.
- Yes.
(instrumental holiday music)
- Everybody grab an orange.
No, you're not eating the orange, don't worry.
Nobody's eating the orange.
- I'll eat it like I ate the pineapple.
- Oh no.
- You have to make a design with the cloves in the orange.
That's all you have to do.
That's literally all you have to do.
- Okay - Okay
- If you want.
- Inside the orange?
- No.
You just start with the clove
and you make a design.
You poke the clove in.
- I love designs.
- And you can also have a knife
and like carve the-
- What if we make like a sigil?
- Yeah, you can definitely make a sigil.
- Olivia do I make something funny
or something actually meaningful?
- Just whatever you want.
- [Olivia] Whatever you want.
So basically what the use is,
was actually like way back in the day
when they were like, oh, this is going to stop diseases.
When really it just smells nice
so they thought it stopped diseases.
- Oh, so it was kinda like.
- Yeah didn't actually help anything else.
- So then you just leave this out and you let it dry
and they last forever.
But once it dries you can like
put it in your closet or something
and it makes everything smell good.
- But won't it rot? - It's like a moth deterrent.
- I mean also you can cut like slices or something in it
to help it dry out.
But you can hang these so I have ribbon too.
- Also, if you get hangry in the middle of the night,
you got a snack.
- I don't think you should do that.
- These smell fucking delicious
- Are you my mother?
- Are these things just edible by themselves?
- I mean, cloves are, but it's a spice.
So it'd be kind of like chewing cinnamon.
- Nice and spicy.
- Oh my god.
Oh, it's like taking over my mouth.
- [Olivia] It's a clove.
- Imma do it.
- [Olivia] Have you guy's never had cloves before?
- No.
- He has, like just a minute ago.
- Oh God, hello.
- Oh my god.
- What are you guys?
Did you just eat a clove?
- Yes their eating.
- Guys, stop eating the cloves.
- I got curious I'm sorry.
- I'm doing something like a little bit more personal.
- Nice.
- Smells like oranges and liquor.
- I wonder why.
- Don't.
- How complex can these be?
- [Olivia] As complex or simple as you want.
- [Meg] It's whatever you want.
- [Olivia] The more cloves the better,
but it's really not.
- Do you have a pen?
- [Olivia] Clay are you making a penis, what are you making?
- No I'm not making a, do you want me to make a?
- It's a fertility symbol.
- No but I'm going to go off on a limb
and say it's not shaped like that
- [Clay] Well you wouldn't know.
- Exactly
- [Meg] My fingers going to bleeding by the end of this
- Good point.
- [Olivia] Oh my god you guys are so quiet.
- Concentrating.
- Yeah now we're concentrating.
- I'm like very relaxed honestly, this is super meditative.
- It's like an ASMR, the mood channel music.
(singing)
- [Group] Do, do, do, do, do.
- Feel like somewhere I heard that there were sticks?
- The band?
- [Group] Do, do do do.
(playful singing)
- Olivia I'm done.
- Why, oh you done?
- Why?
- Orange.
- Oh.
- I spelled out orange.
- You need to add more cloves so it like like looks pretty.
- I'm also done.
- I mean what does this look like?
- It looks like a constellation.
- Does that look like it could use more?
- That's earlier. - You're right.
- Yeah, you were like, I forgot what this is called.
- Numbers, you're supposed to spell that?
- I don't know what that means.
- What did you make?
- Uh um I made an umbrella.
- [Olivia] Oh my god it's like Squid Game.
- It's like squid game, yeah.
- Yeah.
- Now lick it.
- I was juggling those and they've been on the floor.
- [Meg] Olivia I wish mine, - [DJ] Heard that one before.
- [Meg] I made mine a constellation.
- Tyler, you're supposed to use the cloves.
- [Tyler] Yeah I'm working on it.
- What are you doing?
- I think the only person here that will know what this is.
- Stabby stab stab.
- [DJ] I'm going for a really abstract approach.
- [Olivia] Yeah?
- [DJ] Yeah.
- [Olivia] What are you making?
- Um, that's abstract.
- [Olivia] I'm sorry.
- Olivia I filled in all my empty spaces.
- I see where you're coming from.
- [Olivia] Oh hey, that actually looks really good though.
- [Aaron] Orange.
- That actually does look good.
- [Clay] Does it just say orange?
- [Olivia] Can you do that one more time
- Orange.
Hey Herman, Orange.
- How is that the best one?
- [Aaron] I don't know.
- Look at mine
- Can you rhyme that by the way?
- Can I do a thing.
- Thank you.
- [Olivia] Yeah.
- I have a squid game jacket in my car, can I go grab that?
- [Olivia] Yeah. - Okay.
- [Meg] Oh my god.
- [Group] Lick it.
Lick it.
Lick it, old man.
- Yeah there you go
- [Olivia] Oh no, no its a video, not a picture, pal.
- Is it really? Oh.
- [Tyler] Include that entire scene unedited.
- Lick it for content.
- I think I cut my tongue.
- You got a third of the way, then you quit.
- They're not the same.
- They're the same.
- They're not the same.
- Isn't this?
- Oh, its the woman outside the little restroom sign.
That's what it is.
That's what you did.
- [DJ] Really? Really?
- This is a woman.
- [Hobs] It's the woman's room.
- You're going to accept the women's restroom sign
over the Blair Witch logo.
- Yeah, Hobs said it so its funny.
- [Meg] Clay is like really struggling to understand.
- [Clay] I'm a little offended right now.
- [DJ] I gave you really cool fonts and then you said
bathroom sign.
- I tried to make the Wheel of Fortune.
- [DJ] When they said witch art crafts I was like,
oh, Blair witch.
- [Herman] Like a sample of it right here.
- It fits.
- Fortuna's gonna be pissed.
If I got bad luck after this,
its supposed to be the wheel of fortune.
- If any of you viewers know what this is, I like them.
- From which religion is that Wheel of Fortune?
- Okay.
- I need everybody to go down to the comments.
Comment what Pokemon does this look like?
- [Group] Who's that pokemon?
- Its pikachu.
- It's not pikachu.
- Fuck.
- Okay. Do you see the wings?
- Oh, it's mewtwo.
- And these are the legs and this is a head of some sort.
I saw this on PokemonGo.
- [Olivia] Show us yours, Megan.
- Look how cute it is.
I braided it at the top.
- Its like this is the wing
and then there's like the head or something.
- It's not a legendary pokemon.
- It's cute okay.
- But it's got wings and like legs.
- Yours is fine, mine's cute.
- [Olivia] All right, everybody hold up your orange.
Get in frame.
- I'm trying to get my shitty ass basket to work.
Give me a sec.
- Aaron what are you holding?
- An orange.
- I dunno why I crouched down like you're short.
Hold up your crafts and smile.
- I can't wait to hang this on my Christmas tree.
- Next craft.
- Wow, yeah, crafts.
- [Olivia] I feel like this next craft
you probably shouldn't so with children
'cause I'm kinda scared to do it with this one.
- Sorry.
- Oh its glass.
- What are we doing with this one?
- I can juggle these.
- No.
No.
- We're making witch balls.
- Ah what?
- Yup, witch balls.
- Witch balls.
- Yeah I knew that reaction was coming.
(laughing)
- Oh no.
- I'm not.
- She's regretting it, Aaron what are you doing?
- Moo.
- What?
- A cow bell.
- Yeah okay.
- I'm not getting through the history of witch balls.
- Go, go for it, do it.
- No, I'm not.
So I'm just going to leave a link right here.
- Smash this link.
- Smash that link.
- Smash the link.
- That link.
- Right there.
- Yeah.
- Full on history,
but now people use them for protection
mostly against like other witches and spirits and things.
But you can also turn them into like little jars
that are little spells
and make them for protection, prosperity, and or question.
- And you throw them at people like the maids?
- [Hobs] Yeah, I was going to say,
or do you throw it on the ground and it's like a smoke bomb
and you can peer into it.
- Its like a Minecraft potion.
- That would be really cool.
Witch grenades.
- So I have an accumulation of items.
Yeah. So basically everybody can grab one of these.
If you are,
you have a plastic one, thank god.
Okay, Hobs whats your question?
- Legit. What does what, briefly?
- Prosperity would need these two.
Protection, money and love.
- Where's the love one?
Where's the love one?
- [Olivia] You can keep doing your thing
but I'm just going to go through what is each
while you all fill up your balls.
Oh, hi,
These are choke berries and yes,
they're technically, do not eat them.
I knew this.
I literally, I was gathering these and I was like,
someone's gonna try to eat these.
- They're called choke for a reason
- Well technically they are actually
really high in antioxidants and they're really good for you.
But the pit inside them has cyanide in them.
So don't do that.
- Oh my god.
- Matt, you know.
- So they make like,
you can make syrups and jams out of them, out of the skin,
but you don't want to have the pit in them because you know,
it'll fuckin' kill you.
- I'm just gonna go drink this real quick.
- [Olivia] So choke berries are good for longevity.
That's good for, you can add it to anything.
They symbolize like drops of blood
because Yule was like a bloodshed celebration type of thing.
- Which one is this for again. Is this mullein?
- [Olivia] You want a lot of cloves?
- For protection, yeah.
- [Olivia] That is prosperity.
And it's good for love too but I think it's best for luck.
- [Herman] Lucky in love.
- [Olivia] Oh, there you go.
I like the way you're thinking. Lucky in love.
Yeah, so then I also have lavender,
which is good for luck and love.
- [Matthew] So what the heck is this?
- That is spruce, that's blue spruce.
Spruce is good for prosperity and protection.
- [Matthew] Oh okay.
- [Meg] What's that?
- This is golden rod.
Golden rods really good for money.
Star anise,
you might have to grind it up to get it in there,
but star anise to use is really good for like
manifesting things in the physical world.
- Oh no, I've gotta get a little of these.
- [Olivia] Oh, you got all the way in there, nice job.
- [Matthew] Dude, your opening's big enough.
You can just shove.
- Is this what alchemy feels like?
- I'm finished
- [Olivia] Are you done, let me see
- I have one solid spruce for a little prosperity,
but enough for everyone to be a little prosperous.
Some lavender,
some lavender for plenty of luck and love combined.
And then I did get one pair of choke berries
because they do look like balls for one, but you know,
reminds me of a special someone
where we're just two pits in a pod, you know.
- [Meg] I like it. That's really cute.
- [Olivia] That is cute.
- [Tyler] Olivia, what is this one?
- That one is camomile.
That one is for luck, love and prosperity.
- And if I drop some in my beer should I still drink it?
- [Olivia] Yes.
- Probably eat the spikes.
- [Matthew] You sure?
- [Olivia] Please don't eat the spikes.
Please don't eat those.
Matthew, Matthew don't, Matt, Matthew, Matthew don't.
- [Clay] No balls.
- [Herman] You're like that out of everyone.
I was the one to go mortar and pestle.
- [Hobs] Hey, I'm done I have things and stuff in there.
- [Olivia] Yeah, you go things and stuff?
- There's those things and that thing and that thing
and there's some of that a little bit of that.
- [Olivia] Nice.
- [Clay] Wait Olivia, what do pistachios represent?
- [Olivia] Ah I actually think those are actually fertility.
- [Clay] Hmm.
- [Meg] Oh shit checking you out.
- [Olivia] You got yours?
- [Matthew] Yes.
- [Olivia] Okay, let me see it.
- I feel like you're saying that in a very spiteful way.
- It has stuff
- [Olivia] Yeah, what kind of stuff?
- The berry you wouldn't let me eat,
everything else I tried.
I have lavender, the berry, I mainly did luck,
prosperity and a little bit of love.
- Why did you put pistachio?
- I don't want kids.
- [Meg] That's so cute. Clay you're so adorable.
- But now it means I'm going to have a kid and I don't.
- [Olivia] No it's fine, it won't.
- Okay, all right
- [Meg] You're probably going to have a kid but that's okay.
- How many pistachios equates to having one child?
- [Olivia] I don't know.
- Probably about a fourth of a pistachio.
- Because there's one tree leaf to get luck.
- How does that work?
- I don't know, its witchcraft
- I put in majority just like,
mostly just like love for me.
I'm a very loving person and a little bit of luck
because that's just my theme.
If you ask anybody.
- [Olivia] Your a very lucky man.
- I've put one of everything in it.
- [Olivia] Nice, I like that.
What'd you put in there?
- I put kind of a little of everything,
but I have more of like manifestation.
- Spruce in mini tomatoes.
- I'm kind of just, financially,
but its kind of for everyone,
mainly manifestation was my biggest thing.
Like be more powerful with that.
- [Olivia] I like it.
- Yeah.
- [Olivia] It looks cute.
- Thanks.
- [Olivia] It's very Christmasy too.
Are you done, DJ?
- Yeah.
- [Olivia] All right.
- Think so.
- [Olivia] Let me see. What'd you put in there?
- Well, I mostly put a lot of spruce.
- [Meg] Yours is super sweet. I love the gold.
- [Olivia] The golden rod.
- Golden rod and then the choke berries.
And I put a lot of roses in because I'm allergic to lavender
so I needed love that way.
- [Olivia] Nice, good job you guys.
You guys actually made it through
with not breaking everything in my home.
Okay. I think everybody's in frame.
(glass smashing)
Oh, that is the conclusion of this terrible chaotic video.
- The rest of us are still blessed.
- I did my best to put this together
so we're going to see how editing goes
but thanks for watching
- Bye
- Everybody clap your hands
(clapping)
- I fixed it
- [Olivia] You fixed it, good job.
Its in a plastic one now right?
- Yes.
- [Olivia] Matt.
