Historically, witchcraft has been practiced by marginalized and oppressed communities — which explains its modern-day stigmatization. People often equate witchcraft rituals to bubbling cauldrons and pointy hats, but for people like Haylin Belay, it is so much more. She uses her magic rituals to heal from past trauma and to find an inner power in a society that often doesn’t value women of color. Subscribe to HuffPost today: http://goo.gl/xW6HG

    3. @LeKeisha Jones aka Kitty Pride “He who sins is of the devil (Satan), for the devil has sinned from the beginning. FOR THIS PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFESTED, THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL (SATAN).” (1 JOHN 3:8) “And JESUS said unto them, “I SAW SATAN fall like LIGHTNING FROM HEAVEN. Behold, I give you the Authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy (Satan), and nothing by any means shall hurt you.” (Luke 10). “And JESUS came and spoke to them saying, “ALL AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH. GO THEREFORE AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL THE NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS THAT I HAVE COMMANDED YOU; AND LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN TO THE END OF THE AGE.” ( MATTHEW 28). ALMIGHTY GOD loves you and you can accept JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR TODAY, IN JESUS NAME. I SEND THIS WORD OF GOD TO MANIFEST CONTINUOUSLY THROUGHOUT THIS EARTH NOW AND ALWAYS IN JESUS NAME FOREVER I DECREE AND DECLARE 📖 ✝️.

    4. @LeKeisha Jones aka Kitty Pride Yes Satan exists, but very soon, Satan, his demons will be thrown into the Bottomless pit, after that they’ll be thrown into the abyss, GOD’ FIRE THAT NEVER STOPS BURNING. I will give GOD’S WORD, BIBLE VERSES THAT WILL REVEAL THESE TRUTHS TO YOU. “Then the seventy returned with Joy, saying, LORD even the demons are subject to us in YOUR NAME.” And JESUS said to them, “I SAW SATAN FALL LIKE LIGHTNING FROM HEAVEN. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy (Satan) and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:18,19) “He who sins is of the devil (Satan), for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFESTED, THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL (SATAN)” ( 1 JOHN 3:8). “So the great dragon was fast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” (REVELATION 12:9) I encourage you to read study meditate these True WORDS OF GOD. Also Read, study, Revelations 20:1-10, DESCRIBES GOD’angel having the key to the Bottomless pit, where Satan will be cast into. It won’t be long. Read Matthew 28, Whereas JESUS HAD BEEN GIVEN ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH. I Give GLORY TO GOD MY FATHER FOREVER IN JESUS NAME FOREVER I DECREE AND DECLARE 📖 ✝️

    2. I tried Jesus, I only gained fear. Fear of my Christian parents who pushed it onto me. Fear of making mistakes. I feel free in my craft. Christianity traumatized me. Not God but his people.

  3. As a christian for the brief period that I was exposed to it, I always felt lost, disassociated and unhappy, as a witch I feel capable, content joyful, my life and purpose have been revealed to me and I am living a much more fulfilling life. I would never revert back to the depression that is modern christianity….secularism is pretty much my whole life at this point and I cant’t wait to sip mimosa’s w/ Oshun, lillith, Seshat, Aphrodite, Venus, Xociquetzal, Isis etc. in the “afterlife” blessed be to you all

    2. Do it,I did the same thing,do what you like,live the life you want no matter wahat,as a witch I understan the situation (I felt that when I was christan I wasnt happy at all).

    3. I’m sorry you thought I was replying to you. I as asking Terrell Spivey how was he sure that he was not being deceived because he thought you were deceived. I am happy for you for following your path and not being bullied by these folks who will never allow you to follow your path. They think their way is the only way and that no one else can be right in practicing anything else.

    4. @Terrell Spivey I actually did attempt to listen to a few of your videos but at this point there really is no way to convince me… My interest concerning the bible in particular has much to do with the emperor constantine being pagan while still promoting christianity and persecuting other pagans, the 66 missing books of the bible, and the events that took place at the council of Nicea…however we can respectfully agree to disagree

    1. Turning water into wine is magic and feeding all those people with a few fish is magic! Prove its not?

  5. Customize your connection with the most high. A lot of people dont even realize who they’re worshipping.

    1. Allasondra Camacho witches don’t believe in satan, most witches are not Christian nor believe in that stuff

    4. Cool Breeze678 this is your free will . If you haven’t noticed the new age is coming out more than ever . There is a reason for that . So many people are blind and think this is renewing them , helping them , that they’re doing the right thing . They see it as light beautiful mystical . But then people forget the devil is the angel of light . The devil comes in many forms / deceptions . Don’t be foolish . I used to do this myself , i thought I knew my purpose ; also let me imply . Whatever person is doing this stuff , the spiritual world applies to their purposes to make that person believe what their doing is right and just . When it’s not , the demons on a consistent basis communicate with you , give you confirmations” that are FALSE . So there’s a variety of a bunch of purposes and beliefs. This applies to all . There is no TRUTH . That should be a red flag . I’m so grateful that I’ve been open minded to this new age . I thought I was a better person , I was trying to get everybody on this because I was like WOW everybody is missing out look how easy it is to manifest . However I was blinded , I was doing rituals, manifesting left and right . These demons were really making shit happen for me . But our father in heaven opened my eyes . He showed me the truth about those spirits and I seen their true intent . Wicked , evil, jokesters ,. Ask to be shown the truth from the father in Heaven . It doesn’t ask to hurt . Let him show you what’s behind all this . In the end you’ll be crying shitting your pants. It will either come during your lifetime when you’ll realize or before you die . Just don’t make a mistake that’s all . I’m not trying to fight with anybody or argue . Just know what your getting yourself into . I care about your souls , please don’t be persuaded easily. Sending love and true awakenings ❤️ if you don’t agree then go ahead continue , god never says to stop he says go it’s your free will . But just know the consequences and what will happen with your soul since you’ve corrupted it with wickedness . “ no clean spirit may enter the kingdom of Heaven” . The decision is yours . Good luck on your journeys. You all are strong and can do this . You will find the truth .

    5. Cool Breeze678 once you study all
      This . And do this yourself and see that their really is wickedness in it and hear testimonies of ex satanists , warlocks and witches . You see that this shit really is from the devil . And if there’s a devil / evil there is good . This is false , this is deception . One way the devil gets you to worship him .

  6. She makes sooo much sense! Look at the catholic church, or any major religion they certainly pray to an invisible god…cast prayer(spells) over people etc…are filled with the ‘holy ghost’, go into holy ‘trances’ and perform all types of ‘rituals; usually ‘holy oils’ etc….speak in tongues!!
    But they put on a white gown and somehow every one believes their spiritual system is somehow the right one!!!
    The truth is the WHITE MAN is seen as GOD and because he says hsis way and religion is the ‘right’ way then the masses follow like sheep..
    seems A BIT hypocritical to me.

    3. It’s not about a ‘white man.’ God had to appear as some kind of man and he appeared as a Jewish man.

      The point is that the ‘magic’ in the church isn’t really magic because it’s done through the power of the Holy Spirit, which is God’s power. Anything else comes from a demonic source.

      God doesn’t have a race and probably doesn’t have a gender.

      ‘I am who I am.’

    1. I’m sorry to see my beautiful Ethiopian sister falls into this darkness. I hate the devils that binds my people in to bondage and use them until he no longer wants them. In Jesus name loose her! She belongs to Jesus Christ who died for her!!! Selam let’s keep her in our prayers.

    3. @Br8king Tha Silence No, don’t become like them everyone has their own paths. We need to find a way to coexist not tear apart.

    4. Selam Berhe Where was the almighty God and Jesus during slavery? Why did the almighty God allow it to go on?

  9. Suffer not a witch to live ,the spirit of Jezebel has beguiled this woman the same way the serpant deceived eve,no wonder abortion is in the millions due to wicked melanated sisters, you must stop practicing witchcraft, stop sacrificing our babies to molek,and baal and come back to the one and only power our God the god of the Hebrews, the Almighty not these demons your worshipping

    1. @Lance Golden and here we go with this nonsense brings up slavery we weren’t born slaves yet watched slave movies? Lets see and went to stupid slave museums gtfooh

    2. @Lance Golden Jeremiah 11: 11 this is what you have to look forward to being a satanist or atheist, whatever you would like to call yourself, you’re probably a gentile in your feelings because you found out that the true Hebrews are copper colored people found across the world and not the pale images of Israel you see everywhere

    3. seriously though! My problem with the Black Hebrew beliefs are 1st why in the hell am I expected to worship someone who I am told cursed my ancestors into 400 years of slavery! For the life of me I cannot understand how people can actually desire to worship someone called the most High! That’s not cool to me and It represents a selfish and cruel non caring God! Anyone who would curse an entire race of people to 400 years of slavery because someone disobeyed him cannot get my respect and me turning my whole life and happiness over to him! I really don’t belive that shit! I’m sorry! Call me a loser! or a sinner that’s going to burn in hell for feeling this way! I’m not going to get bullied into worshiping someone who I dispise! I don’t even care anymore even if I am threatened with burning in a hell fire! I cant understand why people want to worship these angry Gods who are always talking about burning people up in hot fire! Ive becaome tired of hearing these mean threats all my life! I hear it in Christianity and Black Hebrew life as well! I just don’t need that kind of shit in my life anymore!I

    4. @NaturalBeauty0708 millions of negroe babies have been aborted by our sistas for decades now ,this is no different than how witches sacrifice babies to devils,do you think there’s any difference to the most high creator?

    5. @Lance Golden good luck with explaining to the creator how they’re is no heaven or hell when all of these celebrities admit ,along with satanists to selling their souls to the devil through blood sacrifices and other rituals, so if the devil exists wtf created him i dont know if your are a fool or just a liar or both wtf woke you up this morning?

  10. Rocks and cards make her less anxious. Y’all acting like she’s sacrificing children to satan.

    1. @Ana A Believing in anything that can’t be proven is just self delusion and wishful thinking.

    2. @Ana A Wicca pre-dated Christianity. The Free Masons origins started in the 14th Century while Wiccan/Pagan can trace its origins before Christianity. Free Masons and Wiccan/Pagan don’t borrow from each other but have a mutual respect for each other.

    3. Hmmm, believe in what works for you however “witchcraft” which predates Christianity so Satan (a construct of Christian beliefs) is not relevant. Matriarchal belief systems make more sense as we owe our life to women and earth (which provides for all life) I’m rather atheist but her belief system, amongst the array offered, works for her…

    4. @Lance Golden your nonsense sounds like the ramberlings of a crazy person . how is it possible your mind has not dismantled your religious beliefs ?

    5. @Brandon Taylor I amazed that your mind has never dismantled your religious beliefs . belief or no belief is never a choice .

    2. Holiness literally MEANS ‘SET APART’…thats dead ass the definition, so no you dont make sense

    2. Praying doesn’t help because when my ex girlfriend left me I pray to God and he never help me get her bck she was also the love of my life prayed n prayed everyday n he ain’t do shii

    3. O lord HV mercy on this young woman n bring her out if witchcraft, father she is blind the enemy has blind her soul Jesus I know u lover her deliver her from darkness to ur marvelous light in Jesus name

  15. Thank you for a video that isn’t about sensationalism or an attempt at indoctrination. This young woman has a sweet presence, a soft message, and very little negativity to share. She isn’t asking anyone to join her, nor is she ranting about the hardships she has overcome. It is a beautiful display of a woman, using her spiritual roots and beliefs to make her life better.

    1. Cool Breeze678

      As said before…already blind. Who have to eyes to see, will see and ears to hear, will hear.

      Keep searching.

  16. So beautiful I feel like this and I was always drawn to the spirituality and now I practice it and I love it

    1. @Jordan Parker everybody has there own beliefs it’s not up for discussion it’s a never-ending argument so please go somewhere with your religious ways I don’t need u telling me I hope this and I hope that

    2. @Jordan Parker why? Are u on this channel if u don’t believe leave please don’t come on here please thank you

    3. @Nappy Scribe you can trace his blood. He was a real person. As are the jews, and king so was king James. Pick up the bible and just read it. I guarantee you the devil will try and interrupt you.

    4. Jordan Parker there’s no jesus do your homework. He was made up in 325 A.D. by The Council of Nicea!

    1. @LTKCrimson oh yes you are a typical noisy Christian judging everyone and wishing hell on people that view the world differently. You are a typical clueless Christian. Go flagellate yourself. Dumb ass only judeo-christian believe in hell. It exists in no other religion.

    2. @Circe January Lol. Quite contrary. Don’t follow stereotypes. I’m not the common Christian. So lady, the only person you will be seeing in hell is your father the devil.

    3. @LTKCrimson precisely, another Christian full of shit that pick’n’mix what interests them in their religion and allow themselves to mind others business.

  19. Its sad how many people in the comments are so closed minded. Witchcraft isnt naturally evil but it can be. Any religion can be evil. Every religion has a good and dark side. Im not saying every Christian is bad or that the bible isnt true and god doesnt exist. Im not saying any of that. Im saying that people have different beliefs than you. If she is happy where she is now then be happy thats shes happy, dont ruin her by scaring her into your religion by saying shes going to hell. In my opinion hell doesnt exist because everyone is human and we all make mistakes. If god truely believes that witches are evil then i want him to tell me himself. You can believe what you want to believe, im not judging, but dont shove your religion down our throats just because you dont understand or dont know the facts of it.

  20. galatians chapter 5 v 20 the bible is real put your energy there very valuable for your life and spirit

    2. @Ryan Linde Having a level of pride isn’t a sin. It’s when your pride is about your pride in God.

    3. @Ryan Linde Amen Jesus did all those things but he didn’t have to summon demons and use the power of Beelzebub or Azazel or Lucifer. In actuality Jesus cast out spirits like that.

    5. @Ryan Linde When did I say anything about being high? Stop twisting what I said. I said divine inspiration. Yes some Christians speak in tonuges after getting baptized. But why do witches, when they can’t explain something, call it magic. Jesus necromancy? Please elaborate

  21. Dont be fooled. The video is made to make it seem good buts its not. In the last days you will call good bad and bad good.

    4. Prove it and while youre at it prove that the bible is the word of  a god even though it was ritten by men over 40 of them I’m told! I’m also told that Moses was probably the only man who supposibly was alive at the same time as Jesus! 2000 year old book with no proof but we are all supposed to belive all that these MEN wrote in it and take it as the word of a GOD? Come on now!

    5. oof Sounds like something Satan would say…and have others believe. I have considered the possibility that the whole Garden of Eden story is flipped and that (as Satan would have others believe) Satan isn’t evil but was shunned for trying to help mankind…blah blah…and in the end he will be the hero blah blah… But if you look at the many creation stories and look at actual historical fact and also look at any historical prophets and the accuracy of their predictions, you’ll find the Bible is a fascinating record of historic events as well as unmatched prophetic accuracies. Free will as man was designed allows each to believe and go their own way. Our beliefs, however, do not change whatever the Truth may be. I seek the Truth and the Creator of all things. I know I am made in the image of my Maker and that I can be in relationship with My God but only using special access. I am still sinful and cannot connect with a perfect God until I am perfect or until I have been granted access by One Who Is perfect. I know Jesus is The Way, The Truth, and The Light of man. No one gets to The Father except by Christ. We are each only human and susceptible to manipulation by seen and unseen forces. The God of the Universe knows this and if we truly seek Him we will find Him…but only if we seek Him with all our hearts. May you find Truth in your search…

    1. sebastian michaelis my cousin prayed about it because he was doubting god’s existence and then god took him to hell. he obviously wasn’t saying that for fame or money.

    2. @eva are you one hundred percent sure they did and not lied for fame money or even their own agenda?

    5. Have anyone ever went to hell and come back to tell us its real? Can you prove hell is a real place? Why would an all powerful God have to bully people by giving a choice of follow me or burn in hell? That’s a bully move!

    1. @Brandon Taylor so you’re saying it’s alright for a baby to be damned? It’s okay for those who had never heard of your god to go to hell? Especially when they’ve done nothing wrong? That’s sick, let’s torture the innocent for eternity.

    4. Please use info rather then from your holy precious bible to understand magick at all and that there are diffrent types of magick !!!

    5. Trev Dakine Jesus wasn’t white. The bible describes him as a short dark skin man. However why does his skin color matter. What matters is that thanks to his death and resurrection we are free if you only put your faith in him

    3. @Terrell Spivey I see a video titled president Trump I hate you in your list. According to your Bible hate is a sin. It’s akin to murdering you fellow man in your mind. How we believe is all life is precious and coexistence is needed.

    4. @T South the church has also enslaved the pagan religion. Killed it in the name of God. Yet they fear it. They fear strong intelligent women, that can make their own way. Saying that a woman is always beneath a man.

  26. Suffer Not A Witch To Live !!! ….. A Wave Of GOD’s Judgment & Wrath Will Soon Wipe Out The Wicked Witches In The Earth !!!!

    1. @Shanta Fletcher Damn, it’s cute you think your merciful god would like this? We will not be silenced again. We’ve lived in fear too long. What are you going to do burn me at the steak show how evil you really are to hurt another human in your god name. Oh, but sin is okay if it’s in your gods name.

    4. That’s an evil threat to kill people just because they are witches and not hurting anyone! The puritans wrote this threat to kill witches and then they murdered many! It was the puritans who were the evil ones to follow this verse! That’s nothing to be pround of!

    5. Ha sadly for me this “Good” simply doesn’t exist.I have a question since you are so religious how are u helping his deeds ? By spreding nagativity and mean coments on others cultures ?!

  27. TY, HuffPost for highlighting this young lady’s (Haylin Belay) endeavour to approach HEALING in a holistic method, that is thousands of years old…

  28. Huffington Post presents a biased view of tarot as divination. HP should also report on how tarot was really made for card games

    1. Witches had to use everyday objects so they weren’t caught. You can use a ordinary deck as divination as well.

    1. Norine Hughes Where was Jesus during slavery?You have been indoctrinated to believe that the Bible is alive but Where is your proof? Again, Where was Jesus during slavery?

    2. Desi Gamer Where was Jesus during slavery? You have a right to worship him. Why must everyone else worship as you do?

    4. The BIBLE is Real, The Bible is Alive, THE Bible is GOD’WORD. I RESIST and Renounce, rebuke the power of your words that The Bible is not real. “Heaven and Earth will pass away but not GOD’ WORD”. The BIBLE-WORD OF GOD IS CONNECTED TO GOD’SPIRIT, THIS IS POWERFUL POWER, POWER, POWER✴️✴️✴️ “A fire goes before GOD, And burns up HIS ENEMIES round ABOUT. GOD is a consuming fire that you can feel right now. No Weapon that is formed against us GOD’people shall prosper. In JESUS NAME FOREVER I DECREE AND DECLARE.

    5. I don’t agree with this untruth that The BIBLE isn’t real, I renounce, bind, and rebuke the power of these words. THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD. ” HEAVEN and earth will pass away but not GOD’ WORD” ” In the beginning was THE WORD and the Word was with GOD and THE WORD WAS GOD. HE was in the beginning with GOD.” (John 1) In The NAME of JESUS CHRIST I DECREE and DECLARE.

  31. For everyone that’s saying this isn’t real… I believe it is real… and I now that witchcraft is very horrible! It involves demons, devils, killing, cannibalism, torture…etc… even if it was for good deeds… it would still include horrific acts😔

    1. @Natalia elLA magic is neutral, but it can be used for good or bad based on intentions. That’s what they are saying

    2. @Merrhnh 2002 it’s not against nature at all. In fact it’s the opposite of that. We are more in tune with nature than anyone else. Witchcraft does in fact use magic.

    5. Trix Icy Darcy Stormy magic is in fairytales
      Witchcraft is in reality
      No offense, but I’ve never been fond of witchcraft, I feel like it’s against nature’s rules and messing with stuff like this can lead to bad things…

  32. I wish I had more friends like her. Black women who are into their native spirituality are hard to come by.

    2. Agreed! It’s hard to come by black women who don’t belong to Abrahamic religions especially African-Amerircan women.

    4. How do you know she isn’t just practicing witchcraft and not her native spirituality?

    2. It’s just our strength is also our weakness. We have the spirit of accommodation. That whit man came and Dr. Clarke said he should’ve been shot on site but we fed him to save him from dying and showed him all we have. He raped the cook. Kidnapped the men and gave the Pope of that time 16 slaves. And I say we’re naive!

  35. That’s a truck load of horse shit. I say, we burn the witch. Sorry, couldn’t help it, saw that in a movie 😂.

  36. This is the most beautiful explanation I have heard….”maybe not true but real” ….” ridiculed cause it serves the marginalized not the patriarchy” …. sis I am shhoooketh

    1. T South I love you but the scriptures say something completely different: Revelation 21:8 New International Version (NIV)

      8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.

    2. citrine dragon there a difference between judging someone and lovingly point out their sin to them. We’re suppose to love people but at the same time we’re suppose to be honest with them. If some one was an alcoholic wouldn’t you tell them to get help or would you say “you just do you”

    3. Brandon Taylor when rabid Christian idiots like you follow ALL of your “saviour” persons instructions you might have a point. Remember “the beam in thine own eye” … the “judge not, lest Ye be judged also” and the “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”

    4. Rediet Tefera so denying Jesus, taking up doctrines of devils, and facing the Lords wrath and condemnation is worth fighting the patriarchy 🤔🤔

  37. This was a great video thank you for posting. Witch beliefs and practices are where one pursues their own vision of the divine as a direct and personal experience. The practice of witchcraft promotes peace, harmony and a divine relationship with nature. It brings a deep appreciation for the energy of the earth and the energy of the divine. Magic allows you to open up your awareness to the consciousness of life all around you. Witches do not view the deity as distant. The god and goddess are thought to exist within the practitioner.
    Spirituality defines as the search within for your own inner truth. The pursuit of spirituality can give your life meaning and purpose. It is a very personal journey and a journey where I look within for strength and support. Spirituality is all about the connectedness and searching for that higher power within. Developing a spiritual life has helped me both emotionally and physically.

  39. Voodoo mumbo jumbo is real, but Chrisitans are ignorant for believing in God.Please validate our histrionics.We are sad and damaged emotionally but would rather practice superstitious nonsense than develop any positive coping mechanisms.

    1. You must be a preacher. Why does everyone have to be Holy? Maybe some don’t want to be Holy!

    4. Wow, this is pretty ignorant and hurtful, about a video about someone healing and using their spiritual practice as a coping mechanism. What’s with that?

    5. @Jeremiah Burns um, witches don’t typically even recognise satan as being a real thing. > >

    1. How about the judjmentall Christianity(cult beased on the very pagan belifes that some witches and wiccans belife in ,and a religion that murder thousands of people ,just to spread it and obtain power.Lets talk about a mercfull “All True God”)

    2. Gibson Armstrong Because in reality, magick is literally just making things happen, taking control of your life, and it’s a science that isn’t excepted and proven yet. You’re allowed to disagree, but please be respectful about it. Blessed be )0(
