Herb Harvest and The Druid Path

- A lovely day for a herb harvest and I go around the garden gathering roses, medicinal herbs and culinary herbs. I also share my experience of the first steps on a druidic path. Last week I visited the Celtic Druid Temple in Roscommon for a four day introduction to indigenous spirituality. All the details are below.

My first steps on the druidic path were spent here :-www.celticdruidtemple.com/ My teachers Con and Niamh speak from the heart and are working to restore indigenous woodland in Ireland. They have reforested 16 acres among which is a young Oak forest. Take a look.
Thanks for watching!
I'm an OBOD member. It is an amazing path, full of people who honor Mother Earth and seek peace and justice.
It is indeed. We will be visiting a druid friend in a couple of weeks xx
I am so glad to know that you are taking your first steps at discovering the native spiritual heritage of your indigenous Celtic ancestors, and learning about your ethnic roots. All my life I have always been drawn to ancient or medieval history, architecture, art, music, fairy lore and wild nature. I’ve always loved the fantasy world of dragons castles and dwarfs mermaids etc. however unlike others, I saw them there was some truth to it. I thought that these things have a basis in truth and reality. Although I am interested in the mythology of all cultures, most of all I was drawn to the mythology and folklore of ethnic Europeans, and not until very recently did I understand that all this interest in medieval and ancient things and wild nature it was my ancestors calling out to me, and the consciousness of planet earth herself reaching me, awakening within me the ability to tap into that intelligence, that genetic memory, ancestral collective subconscious. All humans have within themselves this capacity, the ability to tap into the ancestral subconscious. Everyone can learn important things from their own ancestors, and learn about the time on this planet when all indigenous people live in harmony with nature. Good luck to you on your journey.
I agree with all you say Karina. I have been on a pagan path a long time now but this weekend brought me closer to "home" and is more pertinent to me. xxx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden thank you for the wonderful videos. You are a lovely person.
What an absolute JOY to see how flourishing, productive, and beautiful the gardens have become! With the extra playfulness of the dogs in water along with Lol's music and video graphic magic!! What an absolute ray of sunshine in my world today!! BTW, if anyone is considering the Basic Herbal Course....DO IT, it's wonderful and amazing.
Thank you Kavannah light 💚
So glad you enjoyed the film Carolyn and thanks so much for the recommendation. Solstice Blessings my friend! xxx
I love watching you gather your friends for healing and beauty. Also listening while you tell us how you use them. I know they love being appreciated.
Well a good trick is to tell them when you are harvesting, sing their praises and let them know who the medicine is for. xx
I have been studying herbalism and magic traditions for about 30 years...but one is always learning and growing..local folks often ask me for herbal remedies for various minor complaints...I always help and expect nothing in return..for it is a gift..given to us to help our fellow humans and the Earth's life forms..
It may have been dreary the last few days, but that garden is bursting forth! Wow! It's almost wild. I love how Mother Earth produces more than is needed. Diversity and abundance. I heard the little chickens. They always make me smile. 😊❤️
Glad the chickens made you smile. They are great fun to watch. This garden is almost wild I'm afraid - lots of work to catch up on. xx
I studied at what's known as "druid college," under a pupil of Bobcat (Emma Restall Orr). Before that, I was an herbalist. Just the past summer, I grew meadowsweet, mallow, hyssop, yarrow, and sacred tobacco. I can't wait for spring to come again so I can grow more!
Spring is on her way- not long now xx
Absolutely Gorgeous! Your place is so lush, and the cameraman captured it all. It's been oppressively hot/humid here, and this respite to visit your land was delightful.
It is very lush here at the moment - we have summer warmth and lots of rain so everything is thriving. Where are you that it is so hot? xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I'm in the center of the USA. Sub-tropical humidity. 87degrees at 10pm, 88degrees at 10am, with highs in the mid 90's. 10 days so far and at least that many days of this in the forecast. June is typically a moderate month, with average high in the 80's, and nights in the 60's. The cities open cooling centers during the day to help the houseless, but this is hard on all living things....already had widespread power outages twice. Sorry to share such dismal stuff, but that's whats happening. Seeing your beautiful place is always a treat.
I currently am apartment living but I have as many herbs as possible growing on my balcony. In the past year I’ve taken much interest in the Celtic ways and have found that learning to flow with the seasons has helped with the seasonal depression/anxiety I used to struggle with. I’ve discarded much of my religious upbringing and instead found the Celtic Christian views of a God as the Lord of the Elements so much more refreshing and understandable. My ancestry is nearly all Scottish and Irish so there is the feeling of returning to something I once deeply knew and rediscovering it. Thank you for another great video and for bringing a little corner of your Ireland to us all to enjoy. 😊
Hello Ivy. Glad to hear your flow with the seasons has helped relieve SAD. Lots of herbs can help too. I find it so interesting these days that so many people are feeling a calling to their ancestral roots, which i hope will benefit the planet as well. xx
It's very intriguing talking about magic and the elements. Indigenous peoples of North America use the four directions of east, south, west, and north representative of the elements with your place in the center. The vertical plane offers three more directions--Father Sky above, Mother Earth below, and Beauty within the ❤️. It is clear to see that you walk with Beauty. ❤ The trio of earth, wind, and sea fits perfectly for Ireland and it's unique sense of magic.🧚♂️🧚🛸🛸
I think the Celtic Wheel and the North American wheel are similar to one another and we would share an animistic world view xx
I could just cry for joy when blessed with your gift. The music and jaz in the water was perfect sacred expression of our blessings earth sea and sky does say it all.
Dear Tacy, you are very welcome and glad it made you happy xxx
Thank you for another beautiful film. I've studied with Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids. The Druid path embraces all the different aspects of my personal spirituality and is a very supportive community.
It is a path that does the same for me regarding spirituality. I had been in touch with the order and then found the Celtic Druid Temple. Good to know there are so many returning to earth based spirituality. xx
Beautiful days. Thank you for lovely look and chat. The colours of lunaria are so stunning!
I am so lucky with the Lunaria - she is starting to spread all over the place and pops up in unexpected places! A beautiful plant with all the changes she goes through. xx
Thank you so much! I love how your dogs wander around and explore. Those tall daisies are so cheerful and beautiful 💚
Thanks Linda - those are Ox-Eye Daisies and they are very cheerful - they grow alongside the roads here and brighten up any journey.
Ooooh, I just Love it when you
trim your Herbs. Your videos are
always very Calming to watch and I always learn something new! Thanks!
💚💚☘️☘️💚💚
I am so glad that you are enjoying the films and learning new things. Thanks so much! xx
Lovely silver dollar plants! My Grandparents always had some in the house for luck.
Thanks for the lovely video, Terri. I love seeing what’s growing in your garden.
Hi Wilda - hope you are well and enjoying the summer xx
Just beautiful, thank you Teri and Lol, I must say your Honesty plants are an exquisite colour 💕
Thanks Leebay! They are indeed wonderful! And beginning to pop up elsewhere 😊 xx
Oh miss Danu , i hope youl show us some of your magic in the kitchen with your beautiful herbs and flowers....
Bought a new cat nip plant for me and the kitty, we are finally getting sun this week it's been a wet, wet cold Spring now I have to catch up with yard work before everything goes crazy before it gets to hot. 😊
Everything has gone crazy here already - warmth and wet weather. Enjoy your Catnip xx
Good morning Terri☀️
Inspiring and beautiful!
Thank you so much!🌱
Hey Barbara, Solstice Blessings to you - hope all well. xxx Big hugs
Such a great garden abundant with blessings of nature. Very inspiring. 🌿☀
Thank you! Delighted to hear that xx
Hi Miss Danu, I love the music at the beginning of your videos. It's so calming. Enjoy your videos so much. ❤ Myra from Tennessee USA 😊
Hi Myra - you are welcome! So glad you are enjoying the music - Lol will be delighted. xx
Thanks Terri enjoy the day love to you xxx
Solstice Blessings Suez. xx
Wonderful! The adorable stars of the video! Your beautiful dogs! And your video too, of course. Just by watching the video we feel happy, healthy. You teach us so much. You got me into growing my herbs. And I’m so happy about it. Thank you Terri!❤️
I am delighted to hear that Oana - the more of us growing herbs the better! Keep the old ways alive and we stay healthy. Solstice Blessings to you and yours xxx
This video again is good for body and mind. Very peaceful, thank you.
Thank you Michael, I'm glad you found it so. Solstice Blessings to you and yours xx
Thank you for the lovely video Terri. Much appreciated
July from Canada 🇨🇦
As you are July! xx
Such a lovely garden! I'm in sun scorched Italy and the green of your plants and the flowers are medicine for my soul. I'm going to visit Ireland sooner or later, maybe even migrate there. Thank you ♥️🌼🌺
If only we could share - a bit of our rain to Italy and a bit of your sunshine here 😀 xxxx
Thank you Terry for making these videos and sharing earth wisdom with us. You inspired me, recently retired ,to grow some of my own herbs in pots (I live in a condo) to make some herbal teas for maintaining health. I love where you live, the beautiful countryside, the music , animals and information all brings such peace, beauty and sanity in a world sorely lacking in all of these. Blessings to you.
Delighted to hear that Deborah, well done you! Blessings on your pots xx
❤️ thank you, Terri. Lovely bamboo (?) wooden wind chimes. 😁
Happy Solstice Randolph. They are wooden chimes - spotted in a thrift shop so grabbed them.😊 xx
The herbs look lovely this soltice I will do my walk about greeting the trees and everything thank you so much for sharing its so beautiful.
Solstice Blessings Cheryl! Have a wonderful time. xx
Lovely lovely lovely. My dose of Ireland and joy.
Hi Mo! Hope all well down under. Sending you Solstice blessings from Lol and I xxx
Great video again - such a thriving herb garden you have. Don't know if its yourself or Lol behind the camera for the scenic visuals, but the footage is beautiful - not least the scenes of Jazz in the water with the mountainous backdrop - absolute class.
The filming is all Lol's work and the editing. He has a great eye as he is a visual artist sometimes. Thanks for watching Kali! xx
very cool to hear about the druid elements as you called them of earth sea and sky and how water is what connects and supports them.
Wish I could have said more but something to always bear in mind, the connectivity of all life. xxx
Love ur wonderful garden & the music playing in ur video! Aloha!
Aloha! Happy to hear you enjoyed it. xx
Hi Terri. ..thanks for the video. ..wonderful spots and sunsets! !!
Sending you big hugs and love!
Love and Solstice Blessings to you Olga. I hope you are well xx
Thank you for another great video and the information on the druid path, fascinating. Really appreciate the time you take for making and sharing these lovely videos xx
Thanks so much Maxine - and we appreciate you spending time watching and leaving a comment. Solstice Blessings!
Thank you for the advice, I usually get carried away when harvesting the fruit/ vegetable garden also.
Ha ha - that is easy to do but I have learned from experience. xx
Your herbs are looking amazing! Thank you for another wonderful episode!
Glad you enjoyed it Jeff. Thank you! xx
Hi Terri. Thank you for sharing the ancient practice of gathering herbs. I always feel deeply connected to the Goddess when I am collecting herbs from the garden. I would love a video on how you dry them to see your process. My process is very simple but it's nice to see how others do it too. I love all of your videos no matter what the topic. Always enlightening. Happy Summer Solstice!
Hi E - glad to hear from another herb gatherer. I agree it is a wonderful way to be connected and feeling gratitude during the harvest. Blessings for Summer Solstice - may your light shine. xx
What a lovely Garden:) Thank you so much for this fantastic video! XOXO
Thank you Elizabeth. So glad to hear you enjoyed it. xxx
Terri your red dress is lovely. On the farm where I work, we are harvesting too. It is a labor of love but so much to do. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
IT is always a labour of love when gardening but so enjoyable and fulfilling. xx
I am fascinated with Druid ways. I’ve met Kristoffer Hughes who is the Chief Druid Leader in Wales. I’m not sure if he recently stepped down as his writing is taking up a great deal of his time now. Very sweet man. I love trees and think of myself as “part” Druid as I’m always protecting them, saving them and planting them. I can see why you are drawn to it Terry. Wishing you a lovely week ahead! ☺️
I was drawn to it as a child but didn't know then what "it" was. I love the belief that everything is connected on a web of life. Makes total sense to me. Wishing you a lovely week too. xx
Have you read Penny Billington's book The Path of Druidry ? .To the best of my knowledge Kris is still Chief Druid for Anglesey .
I love these vlogs 🥰 sending you flowers 💐☘️🥰
Thank you Joyce - so thoughtful! I appreciate them very much xx
I forgot to mention. When I was a child, we would get horehound candy all the time. It was delicious! I think I may pop onto Amazon and buy a small pack of those.
It used to be very popular. Why not try one of the herb shops online instead of the horrible A company, it will probably taste better. 😀
I love how big your oregano is. I make oregano oil for building up immunity and for infections. It’s great In chicken broth. Everything Is huge in your garden the sea air. I do prefer hawthorn berry for heart. I’m growing herbs in New York it’s rather cold. Your season is a head a bit. Lovely color of dress your wearing.
It is quite cold here for mid-summer - only around 18 - 20 degrees C. I think it is the combination of soft rain and gentle warmth that has made everything flourish. xxx
Your gardens are so beautiful!!! Sweet doggies! Blessings from Ohio!
Solstice blessings Mary! Thanks for watching xx
So beautiful share again dear sis ! I Love your garden ..all these wild herbs..such great sight!! Thank you for share again and your deep wisdom 💖🤗😘🙏

Thank you for doing these videos. I enjoy them so much & value all the information & wisdom you impart to us. This year I am working on expanding my herb garden. I have been working with herbs since the early 80's when my husband had cancer. As each day passes, each year passes, I learn something new & am excited to be on this journey. Blessed Be my Sister.
Blessings to you too Sister. WE can never stop learning - it is a life long path and I am with you on the journey xx
Another informative video Terri blessings from Devon ⭐️
You are welcome Truth Forall - blessings to you too xx
Here's a interesting fact, after the solstice, after all the gaining of the minutes, and after that we start to lose seconds I know strange 🤨 .
That is strange! Lots we don't understand about our Universe xx
..and a very Happy Summer Solstice from me too 🌞 x
Thank you Daisy xx☀️
Thank you lovely : )
You are welcome Blue Star xx
We're over half water ourselves and so is the planet.

Hi Terri - It’s always a treat every Sunday to see your videos. Everything is blooming so pretty in your gardens. I love watching your dogs play. They are so adorable.
Hope you have a great week ahead. Hugs. 💕☀️🪴
Thanks so much Pam. Everything looks lovely - lots of colour and growth but lots to tidy as well. Looking forward to the week ahead and hope you have a good one too.xx
Thanks Danu. Lovely video. I love the herbs and foraging and infusing them with vinegar and oils and making tea. I made a few very powerful oximels stuffed with all the antiviral herbs and garlic after watching your videos. All set for winter
Wonderful to Fionnuala! I love hearing from people making their own remedies with our blessed plants xx
I consider you to be my teacher Miss Terri..and a fellow shaman...from Illinois USA...
Beautiful ❤❤🌻❤❤
Happy Solstice Rahila! xx
Thank you, lovely and informative as always.
Hope you are keeping well Oceanluv xx
I enjoyed your video as always
Thanks Jackie! Good to hear that xx
Your garden is looking lovely Terri and always enjoy Lol's music and watching the doggies having a nice time. We are getting a big garden going too for food security this year on the farm we worked/lived on. A bit delayed because of my illness but we have 5 types of potatoes, 3 types of carrots, pumpkins, squash, courgette and cucumbers so far and will be planting greens, onions and some herbs :)
Sounds as if you are off to a great start! xx
Happy Solstice! Love all the information in your videos. I hope to take one of your classes after the kids go back to school. Fingers crossed. Hope you are having a blessed week.
You would be very welcome. The courses are available at all times now. xxHappy Solstice to you and yours xx
Lovely video. Thanks Teri.💚
Thank you Pamela - Have a wonderful week! 💚
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden 💚
Motherwort grows wild all around my neighbourhood. Like many other fantastic & useful weeds, once I learned to recognize it, I started to see it everywhere. I am impressed by the red lunaria - I have never seen those before. I have only seen lunaria that are silvery-white! I am impressed by the diversity of your garden, and I enjoy watching these every Sunday night. Cheers from Canada!
Thanks Ian, glad you are enjoying the films. Lunaria in our garden is a lovely purple when in flower although it can be any colour from white, lilac, mauve and red. The seed pods will turn white. Motherwort doesn't grow wild here though but is doing well in the garden. Happy Days!
You'll be busy processing the herbs ,enjoy them .Pleased to hear you enjoyed the Druidic W/E I was so envious of your lack of snakes in last weeks hay making film.........happily most of ours are non venomous but they're still not my favourite find in the garden and with this years heat (36°c)there are quite a lot about 🙃
No snakes in Ireland!! I can't imagine coming across snakes in the grass. Druidic weekend was very enjoyable! xx
You have so many of the same herbs that grow here in my garden. It's been cool, wet and dreary here for weeks so garden work is behind this year. All those things, perennials and shrubby herbs, have been growing like crazy with all the rain. I've just started collecting herbs too. Generally I try to have all the herbs I will need for the year collected and dried by mid-July, before plants are over mature and not as succulent. There is still a lot of snow in the mountains here so this year we shouldn't be having a really bad fire season which is a relief. I heard a tree frog croaking somewhere from its secret place in my front flower bed this past week. I love those little critters but they have become very rare over the past twenty years in this area. I'm seeing more swallows this year too which is a good sign. A few days ago I watched a mother bear with her cub lounging in a big field of blooming wild carrot. Both mother and cub had stood up on their hind legs to take a good look at me. It made me happy knowing mother bear was out in that large field, feeling secure and at ease, suckling her little cub. Really connecting to the earth, sea and sky gives us a sacred view of creation and existence. Druids knew (know) all about that. Thanks for your fine video. Have great summer.
Same situation here in our garden regarding growth. Hard to keep on top of it with all the other things life demands. Sounds like good news re the wildlife in your area. x
It's funny you mentioned the Druid path. I've been watching the meetings on RUclips for the OBOD and was considering looking into it. I'd love to know more about the temple you visited!
The Celtic Druid Temple in Roscommon, Eire. They have a web site. xx
I've been a member of the OBOD for 6 years. Whether or not you join, their website has a lot of information that you may find interesting.
Beautiful 🌷 Blessings to you Terri 🌷🌷🌷
Blessings to you too. xx
I love your beautiful garden. Here in Texas it is hell on what I do try to grow. Sick of the heat.
I think we are all challenged by our local climates. Have a look at "Greening the Desert" a film with Geoff Lawton - its on YTube - and it shows how despite salination of the soil and incredible heat, he managed to create soil and grow food!
Water has memory.
Hello, I've been so busy in my own garden I haven't had time to comment lately. I'm so excited to see things growing in our new gardens! I have two little plant stories I wanted to share with you. I saw a very big plant growing in a new bed, where we transplanted many of our old potted plants. (We moved here over a year ago and so many things were in pots and unrecognizable.) I left the plant to grow so I could identify it, posted a picture on a Facebook gardening group and everyone said it was oil seed rape, but it wasn't. My husband did an image search and we found out it's Charlock, wild mustard! In the field guides it says how invasive it is and the seeds can sit around for 40 years and be viable. I found it interesting as it made me wonder if someone who lived here before may have grown it? Or was it wild in the feilds? Most people would yank it out but we love it, covered with tons of yellow flowers and I found out edible. Can you tell me anything more about it, as I consider your knowledge to go beyond the typical! The other plant story is I had planted camomile last year and none came up, but I saw a tiny plant starting in our garden that had leaves like camomile so I left it, thinking somehow it got seeded there. Well you've never seen a bigger, healthier Pineapple Weed in your life! Hahaha, I love Pineapple Weed but have only seen it grow struggling on gravel drives and paths, this one is leading the life of Riley! It's about 1 1/2 feet wide! Wish I could share pictures. Can you also tell me how I can use pineapple weed? Thanks for your wonderful videos, they really are a bright spot in the universe!
Charlock is an edible plant - it is a member of the cabbage family and was eaten in Ireland in the past. It is a cousin of Rape and Mustard and you can use the seeds to make a mustard. WE have it here but it is not invasive. The Pineapple Weed can be used in place of Chamomile so don't worry if your Chamomile doesn't flower this year. What an adventure you are on with your new garden! Sending blessings of abundance and health. xxx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thank you! yes an adventure! Next I want to learn the different grasses, so many and they are really beautiful, people should appreciate them more.
So I can treat Pineapple weed just like Chamomile, make tea etc? Do I have to limit how much?
@@marymcandrew7667 Yes, as I understand it they are interchangeable.
such interesting information and knowledge, thankyou for sharing. i will add valerian, motherwort, vervain and bloodroot this year.
Excellent choices and Bloodroot is I think, becoming rare in the wild so good idea to add it to your garden. xx
Hi Terry hope you're well, having a bad night with my hot flushes and can't sleep. I have been making your bread m6 husband is loving it lol I love watching you it's so calming my daughter said we look like twins. Your view from your garden is beautiful I make bread every other day as have an aga as you said you wouldn't want to eat shop bread do you do anymore food recipes. I am also drinking nettle tea it's lovely with a piece of lemon. Is it to late to forage nettles at this time . Keep safe Sandra xx
Hi Sandra, here it is a bit too late except for harvesting the seed which you could do. Cut down your Nettles and they will grow back for a second harvest. I do have other food recipes and will put something up one of the days. xx
Thanks Terri!
You're welcome!
Very lovely! Thank you!
You're welcome Paula xx
Enjoyed another great video of yours. I've just started several herbs in a raised bed. Always look forward to your videos. God bless.
Good for you Judy - the more the merrier! Blessings xxx
i love your channel! and.. ireland is so beautiful 💚💚💚
Thank You
Glad you enjoyed it xx
Wonderful video, I learn so much and want to save for your course. ❤
Thanks!
Welcome! xx
❤️💚🧡💜
Many Happy Returns! xxx
Your herbs & flowers are robust & beautiful! I'm curious, what if anything so u use to combat bug prob? My herbs are fine, but roses have just been defoliated. My garden is organic. Any advice? Thanks in advance.💛
Was it a leaf cutter? If so I think they will renew themselves. I don't have any bug problems - touch wood -but I use the old washing up liquid in water sprayed onto roses for green fly. We also use humanure to feed our trees and shrubs so they are very healthy. xx
Thanks Terrie loved this. Can I use dog rose flowers for anything medicinal or culinary please? I hope to have a lovely herb garden like yours one day.
Definitely you can - just be sure they haven't been sprayed. Use them as tea or tincture, make a rosewater or infuse in oil and use in body care. Have fun! xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thanks Terri think I will try all of these
Hi Terri, I wonder if you could tell me the name of a plant that was close to the end of this weeks video. I'm in Canada and I have the same plant growing wild on my property. I think here we call it silver dollar, because if I'm right, the flat seed pods turn silvery white in the fall. It also has small dark pink/magenta flowers. I'm also wondering what you can do with it besides using it for decorative purposes?
Hi Hilary - we call that plant Lunaria or Honesty. There are lots of other folk names such as moonwort and shillings. In olden times it was used for wound healing and for treating lunacy!
🌟
💚
Thank you I did enjoy your video. I love Rose tea. Can I use any scented roses ? I often wondered so I could grow my own :)
You can use any scented Rose - I recommend Rose rugosa - you will be able to buy this Rose bare rooted in Autumn. You only need a couple of plants as they put up suckers and spread. They have an intense perfume -. Make sure that you grow them organically and don't spray with any pesticides if you want to make tea. xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thank You I will .
How is your dehydrator working for you? I’ve been harvesting no more than 15 minutes before drying herbs. My apothecary is looking fantastic 🌿 🌹
It is working well so far. So glad to hear your apothecary is looking good. Well done! xx
Wonderful very enjoyable Danu do you do any herbal remedies for 🐕s?
Thank you Bert. I don't make remedies for dogs apart from my own which is practically never . I would recommend you to get Juliet de Bairicli Levy's book Herbs for Dogs and Cats x
Will check it out Thank You so much ❤
Hello, you Etsy shop says it would reopen in February 2022?
