Any credible traditional Youtube

[Mattmesa 7]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can recommend any Youtube channels or videos that are Traditional and credible. I find a good amount of videos on many topics, though most of them are Wiccan in nature. Thanks for your input.

I just had a quick look at the search results for "traditional witchcraft" out of curiosity, it's hilarious how every popular video is a variation on "what is traditional witchcraft and how is it different from Wicca". I'm coming to loathe the label tbh. It's become one more marketing/algorithmic burden.

I don't really follow anyone on YT but sometimes I consult it when I'm getting into a topic. Maybe you'd have more luck looking up specific things you're interested in? A piece of folkore, info about your region or a particular tradition, a historical event or figure you're inspired by, a specific practice?

That's what I am finding myself, I look up things and just try and pick things out that seem to be universal instead of opinion

With internet witchcraft have become so popular that it's turned into a trend. Now it is so hard to find legit sources, everybody is releasing books and selling "potions" of all sorts. I think people need to get in touch with their inner voice, the instinct, it will help to guide the way. I wish it was easier to find great sources but then again that is the easy way and this isn't a easy way kinda lifestyle. I am thankful for places like this forum, but when I go on a google spree trying to find info on a specific topic I find myself wasting an awful lot of time reading through gibberish whilst before the internet I'd have to search for books, and it wasn't as easy to release a book back then, usually it had credible sources in order to be released and the material would usually be helpful, but back then I learned to use myself and my tools of the trade to find the way. Hope that helps a bit. But yeah, wouldn't it be nice if commercialism hadn't spoiled it all.

I don't think it has, I think it has just brought Witchcraft out into the sunlight and made it more accessable to everyone.  It is up to the practictoner to learn it, fine tune it, and make it theirs.

The best genuine traditional witchcraft channel I have ever found on YouTube is The Hoodoo Queen who goes by the name of Queen Co.

She comes from an unbroken family lineage of traditional hoodoo that dates back into the 1800’s. And she is a staunch traditionalist. I love her channel.

There is also a channel which includes some traditional appalachian granny magic called “the inner beauty guru”.

And if you have trouble locating her channel, add “granny magic” to the search.
