1) Witch is a psychedelic rock / zamrock band formed in 1971 in Kitwe, Zambia. This five-piece electric band plays a strong electric African underground style. Tons of wah wah-fuzz guitar in every track, African style beats and vocals and all original songs.
2) Witch is a group born in 2005 from a marriage of apparently contradictory influences. J Mascis, renown as the vocalist, songwriter and guitarist of Dinosaur Jr. (and Heavy Blanket, Upsidedown Cross) and his long time friend Dave Sweetapple (Sweet Apple, Cobra Verde) were interested in forming a hard rock band. They found willing and able conspirators in Kyle Thomas (King Tuff) and Asa Irons, both also members of New England avant-folk outfit Feathers. This line-up mounts a mighty sonic tumult that harkens back to classic heavy metal sound of early 1970s outfits while still sounding modern in it's assault (and without falling into the ubiquitous "Stoner Rock" pigeonhole). Instead of clinging to his forte, the electric guitar, J Mascis instead plays his first instrument, the drums. Witch's trademark sound (particularly in their early work) shows obvious Black Sabbath influence and moments of Black Flag has also been noted for their sophomore effort, Paralyzed.
3) Witch is a duo formed in 1980 by S. Joplin Babashoff and The Bird (later joined by guitarist Gloonis Botnik to create a trio). Over the past 26 years, Witch has recorded and released over 15 albums.
4) Witch was an American heavy metal band formed in 1983 in Los Angeles, CA. They released the cult classic EP "The Hex Is On" in 1984. Members included Punky Peru (drums, vocals), Ronny Too (guitar, vocals), Peter Wabitt (lead vocals) and Jim Warmon (bass, vocals).
5) Witch is a Japanese female singer / songwriter. Circle: Sound CYCLONE.
Ocean
Witch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the water is as blue as the prettiest cornflower and as clear as crystal
It is very, very deep
Ocean whispers
Salty teardrops
Oceanโs howling
๏ฟผ๏ฟผOverwhelming
And waves
Ocean lingers
In a teardrop
Oceanโs calling
From the billows
And waves
They sing endlessly
Come and dive
Come and dive
Come and dive
Come and dive
We must not imagine that there is nothing at the bottom of the sea but bare yellow sand
Ocean makes
Like a last farewell
Splashing your soul
With foaming clouds
Each wave
Enlacing every move
Ocean stole the light
It calls to you
Ocean stole the stars
Banishing your ghost
Now youโre dying
Drowning in the stream
Come and dive
Come and dive
Then you dive
Come and dive
Come and dive
Come and dive
Then you dive
Come and dive
Come and dive
Come and dive
Come and dive
Come and dive
The most singular flowers and plants grow there
The leaves and stems of which are so pliant
That the slightest agitation of the water
Causes them to stir as if they had life
Fishes, both large and small
Glide between the branches
As birds fly among the trees here upon land
The song Ocean by Witch is a hauntingly beautiful piece that speaks to the overwhelming power of the sea. The singer describes the ocean as deep and blue, with waves that ripple endlessly. The ocean is personified, as it is described as whispering and howling, an eerie reminder of its awesome and untamed nature. The lyrics speak of the way that the ocean calls to us, inviting us to explore its depths and dive beneath the waves.
The ocean is also described as being a source of sorrow, with salty teardrops and foaming clouds that splash the soul. The waves sing endlessly, a reminder of the eternal and cyclical nature of the sea. The song takes on a darker tone towards the end, as the ocean is portrayed as stealing the light and the stars, banishing the ghost of the listener. The final lines speak of drowning in the stream and diving into the unknown depths of the ocean.
Overall, the lyrics of Ocean speak to the power and mystery of the ocean, and the way that it calls out to us, both beckoning us to explore its depths and warning us of its danger.

Causes them to stir as if they had life
The plants in the ocean can appear to be moving on their own, as if they were alive
Fishes, both large and small
There is a diverse array of fish that swim in the ocean
Glide between the branches
The fish in the ocean move effortlessly through the plants
As birds fly among the trees here upon land
The movement of fish in the ocean can be compared to that of birds flying among trees on land

Just found your videos, love them! You look like my relatives (our ancestors came to the US from Germany).
I grew up in a PA Deutsch farm family, hours from the sea, but was always drawn to it.
I learned to scuba dive, snorkel, kayak and mermaid (I have a ridiculous tail collection). I collect driftwood, shells, sea pebbles, bay pebbles, river rocks, and sand from everywhere. I have jars of pebbles all over. A glass container of "wampum", the purple bits from quahog clam shells. A spice rack that has been painted blue and each spice jar is filled with sand from favorite beaches, rivers, bay shores. I use salt and salt water for cleansing.
Shells are very difficult to drill holes in, glue would work better.
Things to be aware of:
1. Craft store shells often are harvested with totally unsustainable practices that devastate the seabed.
2. Stacking rocks you find in nature disrupts the environment, there are critters living under them, and if everyone leaves rock stacks, the natural is no longer natural. Get some rocks to play with in your garden.
3. Yes, take a garbage bag and pick up some trash!
4. A kayak is a great, quiet way to get on the water, observe wildlife, nature, and be part of natural forces.

hi i found your channel out of curiosity and really enjoy your content. i am buddhist and have been practicing for nearly 10 years, became an official member around 3 years ago. However i also got into tarot last year and have always been interested in crystals and astrology.
Recently discovered i am highly sensitive and have always had a strong intuition. I am really really fascinated by Witchcraft and feel a strong calling towards it. I had a dream a few years ago that i was a witch burning at the stake and i could see smoke all around me and hear people screaming and yelling... then i suddenly woke up and felt like i couldn't breathe, it was all very bizzare.
i know from one of your previous videos you mentioned that there are such things as secular witches, that practice other religions too, but as interested as i am, i feel like i would be doing something wrong by practicing both.
do you have any advice or guidance?
Dankeschรถn x

It's just coming into spring in Australia. Next month. I am not a huge fan of summer but aim to spend more time at the beach. I found my one and only piece of sea glass once which I crafted onto a wand and I have many sea themed Tarot and Oracle decks ๐. Thank you for you're channel, I love it. โค

Loved this video! Itโs refreshing to see someone take lifeโs little annoyances/frustrations and find the humor in them instead of getting angry. Thank you for sharing this! It was fun to watch ๐

Great video :) I'm a German landlocked sea witch. I work with the tides instead of the moon phases and with shells instead of gem stones. Every shell has other correspondences :). I even found a purple seastar at a beach at the Baltic sea :)
