Видео

Thank you for the kindness and nice words! I have a video planned about deity worship and ancestor veneration and I'm also doing a yearly Samhain/Three Nights of the Dead video where I talk about it. I'm happy you like my videos, I put a lot of thought into them and it's both vulnerable and freeing to share my practice with people

I don't know how you gained access to my steam account but high five for good taste. You'd be surprised actually how much disability impacts how we play video games, to varying degree depending on your condition. Be reassured that I am, in fact, still able to play Oblivion

@@TheGallicWitch lol don't worry, I saw a comment of yours that told the story of how you got into gaming because of Oblivion, I think it was on some video by razbuten or adam millard or someone along those lines. I was intrigued and clicked on your channel out of curiosity and I'm impressed, cheers and good luck.

@@up-set1451 oh that is so funny lol thanks so much for checking out my channel! sorry it has nothing to do with video games haha i've been thinking for a while now of creating a channel to talk about accessibility in video games and to review games based on how accessible they are, because it's not information that's easily found. I often have to scoure forums or ask a bunch of players to check out the accessibility features before I even consider buying a game and quick anecdote, i'm playing oblivion right now, i've started a new playthrough like a month ago and i'm having a blast. i'm a super late-to-the-party gamer, never played a game before i was like 20, so it's super close to my heart as the first game i ever played

You don’t even read them right anyway

Oh love, you'd be so much more credible if you actually knew how to spell Romani. Also, you'd look like less of an idiot if you knew what you were actually talking about

I'm still laughing at you, thank you for providing me with entertainment

@@TheGallicWitch Romany is an acceptable spelling 😭 I’m romanichal and you have 0 clue what you’re talking about girl did you know some of us say RUMNEY it’s not about spelling. You just like to be racist we get it

@@TheGallicWitch you probably don’t even have the correct number of cards, it’s a closed practice and you wouldn’t know because we learn from our mothers not from the internet or a little booklet written by white people.

Thanks! What country are you from?

@@TheGallicWitch Poland

@@Lithar1987 I hope your country will continue to be safe. Being European right now is a bit scary, even though I'm lucky to be in a European country further away from the war. I really like your videos, I've been playing TLD for a very long time and I've been using some of your videos as reference to update the steam maps, so thank you for all your hard work!

@@TheGallicWitch It's safe here, in the cities, you can walk around after dark without any problems, I've never had any problems, about 10% are Ukrainians but they are from the same culture and they are not a problem. Unfortunately, people here have always had this thing where they compete with each other, with their neighbors, until there is a crisis or war, then everyone wakes up and fights together. If it were not for this national limitation, Poland could have achieved more. I live in the Kashubia region, it is a beautiful area even with its own local language.

it's the first time i've heard someone describe a debilitating, life-changing accident that ruined my future career, gave me excruciating chronic pain and left me permanently disabled as "beautiful". points for originality I guess?

Merci pour ce commentaire plein de gentillesse et de bienveillance. Ça fait un moment que je pense à faire une vidéo dédiée spécifiquement à ce thème, as-tu des questions précises auxquelles je pourrais répondre en plus de donner une vue globale de ma pratique ? Je me ferais un plaisir d'y répondre !

​@@TheGallicWitchwhat a coward. As expected hypocrisy. Proved constructions. Fetization, Degradation, erasure and imiation. As I said "Perspective is good but objective preposition based in attributes is not a solid evidence reference. As it isn't rooted in genome or environmental building. And even if we look at men that grow up within that atmosphere and other ones we cannot feign native internal interactions. " Stereotyping and tying a persons characteristics towards their ex while lowering their position is against self-individuality. Denying them of freedom and categorization is against what independence stands for.

​@@TheGallicWitch men look for an object women look for an item of interest but for manipulative gains. Men - Men = Trust. Men hold trust as a major factor in relations between eachother. Majority of reactions amoungst men hold in superficial gains of interest {material based}. Men - Women = Reliance. In succeeded independence of activities arround environents that are dependent on singular strengths. Your nature to Imitate men. Incapable of changing. Incapable of growth. Forever ageless.

@@TheGallicWitch Après tout ce temps, je réponds enfin ^^' Alors, je crois qu'il serait intéressant de savoir si c'est une tradition familiale ou si tu as rejoins un groupe druidique plus tard dans ta vie, comment fais-tu tes recherches sur les Gaulois et te diriges-tu vers un certain reconstructionnisme (avec des références de lectures si tu en as), ta tradition druidique est-elle en lien avec un organisation plus ''grande'' (ex: Gorsedd de Bretagne, Obod, etc), traces-tu une ligne / fais-tu une différence entre la sorcellerie et le druidisme, comment se vie ta pratique spirituelle au quotidien ? Voilà ce qui me vient à l'esprit comme questionnement pour l'instant !

Yes, thank you!! That's the word! Editing took care of the five minutes I spent staring at my knees trying to find the name of this scale.

And you are very brave to have endured that capsaicin treatment. I tried an over the counter capsaicin based cream once: I couldn't get that stuff off fast enough!

@@brandyjean7015 I didn't know they offer it over the counter!! Maybe they don't in my country at least but even then, I think it's wild given how dangerous the side-effects can be. And like I put inside the video, I found a study from a highly respected health institution saying they can't even find any proof of the utility of this treatment. I hope you didn't get too badly burnt from it, this was a nightmare for me.

Thank you so much, that is the best compliment!!! I always hope to make my videos a great experience, not just something informative

it is the Celtic New Year (suggest you read more about this). It is different from the Winter Solstice.

@@MG-xp9si As a practicing Druid, Ive read a lot on this topic.

@@drydenstewartenterprises You are entitled to your interpretation. I go with this: Samhain was traditionally the Celtic New Year, a time when the veil between the worlds grew thin and the Celts honored their ancestors. Samhain marked the Celtic New Year, the end of summer, and the end of the harvest season. It also signaled the beginning of winter, which they associated with death.

Super sur ça t'aide !! C'est le but de ces vidéos après tout haha

Thank you for these lovely words! Altar space is very important for me, because in my religion there is the concept of Nemeton, the sacred place where you pray and worship the gods and do anything related to your spirituality. So during holidays, my altars are dedicated to said celebration, but the rest of the time my altar spce is a traditional Nemeton, with its representations for the Tree, the Fire and the Well, as well as dedications to the gods and goddesses of the gaulish pantheon

@@TheGallicWitch this is so insightful, i was familiar with the concept of Nemeton before but this helps a lot. Are you planning on doing an altar for Lammas ? If yes, i would love to see it 💜

Thank you so much for the kind words, they mean a lot to me!! You can always check out the progress of the deck on instagram, I posted a new card recently!

That's so cool!!! Thank you for giving this a try, it means a lot. I'm really happy you you enjoyed it!

Aww thank you!!

Yes yes YES please tell me how it goes!!! tag me on insta or something!!

@@TheGallicWitch ok, I've added you haha! I'm going to the store today to get the ingredients, tomorrow is the day for bread!

@@jenniferbauman I am EXCITED

@@TheGallicWitch it's in the oven!

Thank you for the help haha, English isn't always willing to comply with my brain when I film. Where are you from?

@@TheGallicWitch I was born in 'Hollyweird' & spent my life living in Los Angeles County. I retired @ 49 with a corporate buy-out. I then packed up & moved 1,000 miles north! Settling in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in SW Washington state. A small witch's cottage on 12 acres: I have woods, orchards, gardens, critters & more chores than I'll ever get done! It's been 20 yrs now & I'm still loving this life. I admire anyone who speaks competently in more than one language 💚

Thank you for watching, especially since you watched every single Oscars challenge. I appeciate you taking the time, and sharing such kind words

@@TheGallicWitch you are very kind 🥰 I hope you're doing well!

And thank you for your kindness, it's much appreciated

I'm glad you stopped watching when you needed that, that's the reason I took the time to add a warning to the video!! The last thing I want is for people who suffered like I did to be triggered by this, when it's just supposed to heal. I was also diagnosed with C-PTSD because of what happened to me, and it's been nice to be able to put words on what I was feeling, but it is hard, isn't it? I'm taking notes (haha) of the journaling thing, I hear about it a lot but I admit I've never managed to get into it, despite trying a few times. I wish you the very best for your own healing, you deserve it

@@TheGallicWitch I wish you the very best for your healing too, may happiness and beauty bring a loving sunshine to your every day and experience, even when days are hard, may your grounds be healthy and fertile for growth, and your tree of life be strong, flexible and healthy and happy until the end, so you get to enjoy your fruit of labor in the very best way and their sweetness.

Thank you for your kind words, they mean a lot. This was as hard as it was cathartic to film, but I'm glad I did, and the comments I'm getting are just so kind.

Let me know how the maple syrup thing goes especially, I'm super interested to know the results!!

I don't see why not! We don't really have maple syrup in my country so I can't guarantee the result you're going to get, but at the very least taste-wise, I think this'll be good! The delicious part about dandelion honey, outside of the honey of course, is that after a good while, the flowers crystallise in the honey and you can eat them like they're candy. It's incredible. But since I have no idea how maple syrup behaves, I don't know what you'll get. I think it should taste really good, and health-wise it's likely good as well, but I'm not sure!

@@TheGallicWitch that is really interesting and it sounds like heaven in the mouth! I bet one can decorate a cate with those flowers. I think maple probably crystalline differently, yet I think there’s a a chance it will crystalline like sugar or sap, so I think I might try this recipe out myself YUM!

You can. I am infusing my violet and dandelion with a regional tree honey from southeast USA from the sourwood tree.

I wouldn't recommend it. You can do it, but dandelion is already a pretty light flower in terms of potency, which is in part why I added the leaves to the vinegar. IMO, dehydrated dandelion would pretty much become useless. On top of that, it's very very hard to dry dandelion and have it stay as a flower. Most of the time, as it dries, it turns into dandelion fluff like the stuff you blow on to make a wish, y'know? At least in my experience, I'm trying again this year but so far I've never succeeded once in keeping the dandelions as flowers. I doubt the fluff has medicinal properties, though you could always research it if you're really interested. IMO, dandelion is an early-spring, easy forageable, which is why it's worth it as the beginning of the season when you don't have much else, but as spring continues, there are a lot of great options that are stronger and more stable than dandelion and have the same properties.

Thank you very much for your kind words!
