Today I'm getting ready for Yule and the celebrations have already begun, for me at least. I love getting invested in this season and for the first time in a long time, it snowed in December which fully gets me in the Yule spirit.
This time around I'm doing less spells and rituals than usual, instead focusing on the feeling of the Sabbat and getting ready for the Winter Solstice itself.

As someone who grew up non-religious and a late adopter of Pagan and Witchy beliefs, this was SUCH a heartening video. I love it when we can just celebrate the warmth of the season without needing to completely cut away anything that could be considered "standard" religious practice. My tree and my silly holiday movies thank you so much for this Hearth!
I agree. I understand why people cut out overtly religious celebrations if they have bad experiences with said religion they grow up with. But otherwise it's still a part of our journey in life and keeping traditions that ignite positive feelings and feelings of connection to others seems intuitively right. If it moves around good energy for you, it would be sad to have to let go of them. That's the great thing about witchcraft, no one tells us what we have to let go, you het to choose yourself what no longer serves you.
@marlyd Yes precisely!! Everything is more just interpretation of the science around us and doesn't decide if I get to keep enjoying Muppet Christmas Carol or not 🥰
@@IntenseCii that's my all time favourite Christmas and muppet movie! My bf has never seen it so I'm making him this year 🌲
@@marlyd Convert EVERYONE to Muppet holidays!! That's the real belief system, Henson-ism 😂
I'd have a live either a Norway Pine or a Douglas fir tree for Yule..
I am constructing a cat-proof altar so I can have it out and interact with it every day. My cat loves putting out candles and the usual knocking things over lol
Have a magical Yule everyone!
Battery-operated candles would be the safest choice for your cat and your altar. 🐱
yes a cat knows how to turn on a battery operated candle.. well mine would @@patriciahayes2664
@@patriciahayes2664 that is a great idea for some people. This seems to be working well so far
Cats are the absolute proof that the Earth *is* spherical -- if it was flat, cats would've pushed everything off the edge by now!
I have cats named after goddess, Hekate and Aphrodite. They both love laying on my altar and knocking everything over
I still put my Nativity set up - my husband thinks it's hilarious. The stable was made by my previous FiL and my MiL bought the figures for it, so it's partly a way to remember them. The Magi normally make their way across the cupboard full of tarot decks and crystal balls, which seems oddly appropriate 😁
I have a 'fairy' I made from an 11 inch fashion doll that cost £1 that I drag out every year. My first Christmas I was away from home I made her up as a fairy and have used her ever since (about 30 years). I originally made her a dress from crepe paper and wings from a doily. She's had a few pairs of wings over the years (currently sporting a set made from wire and a friend's daughter's sparkly silver tights) and I finally got round to buying her a proper dress a few years ago. Although I could have replaced her and she doesn't really look right, it just wouldn't seem like Xmas without her on the tree. She is my Xmas tradition and I think I will still be dragging her out in my old age and I hope your nativity sees Xmas for many years to come
That’s fantastic ❤🇦🇺
well nothing wrong with that. I do as well and im an atheist pagan. I look at it as whatever makes you happy go for it. I love seasons and celebrating life cycles. I use symbols and such like that without anything metaphysical or supernatural since I find no evidence of either. Science is my magick. :D
@@Spiritdove64 I was a Christian for many years, and I've since discovered that the joy of following your own path is you can keep, discover and discard what doesn't serve. For me the tarot has been a life-changer and I'm now a very happy solitary practitioner of kitchen witchery. As a muslim friend of mine says, the best thing about doing your own thing is you can celebrate all the festivals if you so choose! 😁
You are so much fun! May you continue to feel this joy and playfulness all your lives.
I still put up my tree I always have. I put things like cinnamon sticks tied together, faux mistletoe and dried orange slices. I literally cover my tree in fairy lights! I make a chocolate Yule log and decorate it then put a candle into it and share with my children and neighbours. I also watch the Stone henge live stream, and I make dried orange slice garlands to honour the return of the sun for my windows whilst watching. I love this season, it’s my favourite, for me it’s a time for releasing and reflecting ❤❤❤
Thankyou for all your content, it’s always so good and I’m really grateful for your time, knowledge and enthusiasm, Thankyou 🙏
Absolutely make the sugar cookies and freeze some of the dough. That way you can randomly bake 2-3 cookies whenever you please.
i was thinking this! or reduce the measurements
Culture has always been about blending and evolving, the magic is what feels special for the individual
I bought a fake tree a few years ago because it is cheaper. My tree decorations are a mix of stuff from my and my husband's childhood's and ornaments I collected every time we travel. My mom started the tradition of collecting travel ornaments and especially with her sudden passing in September it means a lot to me to continue it. My tree skirt was made by mom as was my daughter's stocking so these being out helps bring her loving presents into my home.
I will tell you this as a kitchen witch who does love to bake, even I mess up cookies and other baked goods simply because baking is a science and can go wrong so easily.
The rest of my Yule tide is cought up in the craziness of my 4 year old daughter and trying to keep my cats from eating the Christmas tree. My mom loved Christmas and her 67th birthday would have been on the first so I am keeping her memory alive at her favorite time of year.
We went fake when our daughter moved to her own place (she and husband used to cut down our own trees for xmas from our property). Then we started not bothering to have a tree, but we're spending Yule at their apartment this year. Plenty of decor.
"I've been told not to use this too strongly" *electric whisker advances towards batter menacingly*
On the night before Solstice day, I will be keeping vigil. I've done this for many years now. Some years I do have a Yule ritual that recognizes the energy of the year and provides a space for contemplation. Then, it's on to staying up until sunrise in my time zone so I can "sing the sun up." I love playing Jethro Tull's "Solstice Bells" that morning of Solstice. I then get some much-needed rest. I celebrate Christmas with my family as that is their tradition. This year on my altar I have a small Christmas tree draped in blue, silver, and white ribbons to represent snow. On top - a beautiful red cardinal. To me, the cardinal is the quintessential representation of Yule along with deer of all types. My favorite feeling to generate in my home is a snowy pine forest under a full moon. After ritual, I will keep myself awake by watching movies that bring the positivity of Yule energy in. My favorite is Sir Terry Pratchett's "Hogfather." I also read the book this time of year as well. I also always watch "Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown." It's a Christian-based short film, but there is something magical about it. It's a very private and quiet time for me. I'll be baking gingerbread (not cookie cut-outs, but more cake or bread-like), and depending on how I'm feeling I may be making sugar cookies that I do cut into shapes and decorate. I love this time of year and I try to allow myself to sink into that deep quiet that Midwinter has.
I'm gonna be baking some eggnog flavored sugar cookies! I'm also throwing a combination Yule/Christmas/New Year party with all my friends, and I plan to do a yule log burning (if we aren't under a burn ban in my area) and also wishing pine cones for everyone's new year wishes! :) I like to make little dressed tea light candles for my loved ones for each sabbat so that they can have a little spark of my love and care for them in their homes (plus really nice smelling candles) and creating sabbat themed jars as well. Basically, I just really like to capture the energy and vibes of each sabbat in cute little trinkets haha I'm a bit of a glitter witch I suppose!
This sounds lovely!!
Adorable makeup, lovely smile, great ideas, happy to have you as a teacher. Thanks especially for info on Stonehenge. That is a bucket list item for me. I will seek that out. You make my heart sing with your positive and kind vibes. Thank You!!!💐🥰🤩💕
I have a "Litha" tree, covered with Sunflowers, Bees, Golden Butterflies and of course gold tinsel and baubles. :)
Baking is definitely an acquired skill, it gets easier the more you do it. Baking was always a big part of Christmas/Yuletide when I was a child, and it has remained a part of my own tradition. My neighbours and I always exchange cookies, and I love putting good intentions and warmth into each box. Your altar is beautiful & inspirational. I hope you have a magical Yuletide!
I might try to catch the livestream. That’s a great idea! I celebrate Yule alone and do Christmas gifts and stockings with my family. I hope you have a wonderful season!
I love this idea. It puts me in touch, in a certain way, with others who feel the same way I do.
I’ve been Wiccan for years, pretty much the majority of my life, however when lockdown hit I stopped practicing, I stopped having the motivation and every day seeped into the next, it was a dark time for me, like it was for all of us. I didn’t pick up my practice after lockdown as I got hospitalised for a year and had surgery. I decided to start fresh going into the new year as a Norse Pagan, I found out I have Scandinavian heritage and that’s why I’ve always felt a call towards Norse Paganism. I have A LOT of reading and learning to do come this new year but I feel like a simple Yule altar this year that I can build onto in the future is the perfect way to start.
I hope everyone has an amazing Yule!
I still use the Christmas tree my mom bought nearly 15 years ago. I personally see this as the most ethical way to have a Christmas tree in the house and I intend to keep using it until it breaks down.
I love this time of the year because of how quiet and peaceful it feels. On Yule, I don't want to do anything special. I just want to sit in my living room with my two dogs and enjoy the silence of winter as the Sun is reborn and we're slowly entering the light part of the year again.
Love your Christmas tree 🎄 and your altar, Hearth! Doesn't decorating Christmas trees have a more pagan origin? I bought a rosemary bush trimmed in the shape of a Christmas tree from one of the local grocery stores (Arizona, USA). I have that and other significant objects on my Yule/Winter Solstice altar, including images of reindeer 🦌. I was obsessed with flying reindeer as a kid. Thanks for reminding me about the live stream of the solstice sun at Stonehenge and Newgrange. Definitely want to watch this year. OMG! I'm going to miss the final episode of the GBBS!! A blessed Yule/Winter Solstice to you, your family and your viewers. Cheers!
I wish I knew now to keep one rosemary bush going up north--but I will probably get one and start cuttings indoors.
Since my daughter was acouple of months old we have climbed up to local stone circles to watch the sunrise and have a sing and dance then dash back to our cottage to light the fire and eat alot
Red and gold and green. Decorations and two traditional style drummers.
Thought you might enjoy this: the word for manic-tidying on pockets of the US east coast is called scurryfunging; to scurryfunge. The description states it's the kind of manic cleaning you do when unexpected company is coming over.
Love how you combine your family traditions with your practice! It just makes so much sense. My mother wouldn't understand; because I'm an atheist she calls me the anit-Christ.🤣
Lastly, I don't mean to make you uncomfortable by bringing attention to your appearance but your makeup is stunning! As a kindred pale girl I often find myself admiring your overall style. I'm so pale that if my teeth aren't blinding white they look yellow, even though they're lighter than the teeth of most people. If you ever feel like doing a makeup tutorial I would love one on your eyebrows. It's not the channel for it but a girl can dream.💜

This year I'm going to Hastings, which is a wonderful witchy town. There's a beautiful haunted pub there and hopefully I'll be able to come back for twelfth night when there'll be mummers and wassail. I use an advent candle to focus my energy on different person or issue each day and will be make German lebkuchen cookies. It's the most wonderful time of the year! Happy Yule! I love your beautiful tree and dog wallpaper Hearth!❄🎅🏼🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Beautiful tree and blending is a good way to keep hold of those traditions. Yule blessings to you
I love making my own mulled wine/cider this time of year. It makes the house smell wonderful and I get to use protective herbs and spices in a very tasty way.
I do love Yule Season and the Winter Solstice! My friends and I get together to celebrate the solstice with candles, yummy treats, and reflecting on the past year. I also do quite a bit of baking for the family - gingerbread and almond toffee are my favorite recipes. I also get really crafty: I'm presently making a 2-storey cardboard box gingerbread house for my matryoshka doll family, and my little mice will be camping out in papier-mache mushroom and pumpkin houses under the Christmas tree! My yule altar is set with holly, ivy, berries and candles. I absolutely love your tree ornaments that are pagan symbols!!! I think I might need to add some sigils to my gingerbread house...
Hearth -- I once found a super-simple recipe for ice cream bread (vanilla ice cream and flour are the basis) and accidentally halved the amount of flour I used. Turned out to be a more-than-passable bread pudding. (Tried again with the proper measures and ended up with a very nice, slightly flat and *not* sweet but tasty bread.) My niece, however, who is approximately 1/5th of my age, seems to be able to achieve tasty success with literally any recipe she comes across so let me know if you need baked goods and I'll tell her, LOL. In all seriousness, it's nice to hear that you continue to maintain those holiday traditions that have meaning for you. Many people are far too quick to toss anything that doesn't *seem* to match a changed lifestyle or spirituality without taking into consideration how emotionally those things & practices may be linked to their innermost being.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. This and the other video I commented on are just what I was looking for beginning my own discovery and celebration of solstice. After 50 years of Christmas, winter solstice feels so fresh and alive, even here in Hawaii.
Hello Hearth & community,
You asked about why someone would need so many sugar cookies it may be as gifts for family & friends, a large holiday party/celebration, or bake sales. Large recipes can always be pared down. Also, baking is a learned skill and done with trial and error. Your chocolate chip cookies look delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe & other links.
I'm really enjoying your channel and look forward to watching more.
Hope you have a lovely Yule season.
Hi! from New England. I just love your Yule tree as it sends out the warm glow of the blue/green lights. I almost went with that this year, too. But, I went with the usual red/green theme. Anyway, if any of my many autumn pumpkins make it (two did) to the Yule season, I spray paint them gold (silver would work equally well or any color you prefer) and make them a festive part of my Yule/Solstice decorations.
Happy Yule! Brightest & Triple Blessings now and for the new year!
🎄🎄🎄
Thank you for this video. This is the first time I have seen you; as an old American Pagan I will certainly be watching more.
Thanks, Hearth! I always love your seasonal/Sabbat videos!
I LOVE the shelf behind you. The radiant light is just great. And your video was again very informative and very beautiful and funny - thank you so much!
Alwyn Oak has tons of DIY. I intertwine my stuff as well. Thankuou for your encouragement.
Thank you so much for your input. I love to be wicca❤🎉🎉❤
You are delightful, smart, and beautiful! May your Yule be filled with love, laughter, and extremely good health for the coming year. I know it's a bit early for the New Year, but you can never receive kudos and warm wishes enough.
Happy Yuletide and a Magical 2024 Hearth witch.
I loved this I love how you embrace your childhood traditions too. There is so much magic that only lives there it’s so important ❤
Still means so much to me. I "talk" to those wonderful grandparents often.
Your chaotic room and manic tidying...I feel you.
😹
And thank you for reminding me to watch GBBO finals!
No spoiler, but the winner is who I was rooting for the entire time! 😻
Thanks for the great video! Happy Holidays!
Thank you. Happy yule.
My kids love setting up a tree with Yule decorations. And we have a yule log that we collect from our land in the spring. I do some spell work and my kids like doing the protection balls. (witches balls).
Loved this video Hearth, lovely content and vibe as usual, and I loved the new graphics on the chapters. As a long time sub, around your age, growing my practice along with you has been fun and encouraging. Have a beautiful Yule! ☀
I think it's so cool that your wand is made from an antler rather than from wood! I've never seen that before, but I think it's a great idea!
Random advice about your shrunken sweater, if you soak it the tub with tepid water and hair conditioner for a couple hours gently squish the water out and allow it to dry it'll unshrink. The conditioner relaxes the fibers in the fabric assuming it's not wool
Love knowing about the livestreams, Thank you! And.... also, now I want cookies. 😊
Love your earring Hearth!
Your altar is so beautiful!!! I love the yule woodsy vibes! Redecorating an altar is so relaxing
I love that you tried baking again. The cookies look good, Hearth. When baking, always go for the middle numbers in the cooking time. Today I was baking with my mom and it said 12-15 minutes, which means start with 13:30. Adapt from there and remember that it still continues to cook once you take it out until it is cooled down completely. I also find it helpful to start with one recipe and master that, even if it’s frustrating, before moving to a different one. (When learning of course. Always move on if you don’t like it or sick of it, just learning wise it helps to go this method.)
Had a cookie and milk break halfway through this vid you made me feel hungry 😋
Great vid Hearth, thanks for sharing ❤ ☮️ 🙏
I have set up two trees, one is traditional and the other has my Yule decor- wooden deer, a wooden dragon, and other witchy items. My altar was cleansed and set up for Yule as well. On the solstice I plan to go to dinner with my coven members then retreat to home to finish up some workings and burn my petitions for the completion of this year as well as some goals for the new. Going into a Strength year so doing a bit of journaling for that as well. Have a lovely solstice! 🎄
I sincerely love your sweater, and also cried when I had to remove my pumpkins 😂
If you decide you want to use that sugar cookie recipe, remember that the dough can be frozen for later use, so you could make the dough and then freeze half of it.
I feel like youtube is such a delicate balance between planned and unplanned for each vid, and I liked the balance in this vid. Felt organized enough to keep things in mind and relaxed like a conversation too.
Thank you 😊
Your tree is gorgeous ❤
I loved this video! I started out super depressed, but I am getting in the spirit now. I have a huge candle that I started a few months ago...but the purpose is meant to be more than a year. I think I will refresh the energy for it. I'm not sure what else I'm doing yet. Whatever it ends up being, it will definitely involve lots of.candles!!
There is a nice Finnish divination that I'd love to try...they melt small amounts of lead, then throw it into a bucket of water and try to understand how is going to be the new year interpreting the shape...now, it's not so easy to put your hands on lead, and since I have two cats I don't even know is something like that would be safe...but I was thinking, what about wax? Or maybe seal wax? I have candles and I have seal wax, I won't need that much water for it to cool down, a small bowl Is more than enough, and I can experiment the thrill in a way that surely is less permanent, but can also be pretty interesting. Throwing this in the bucket list, because maybe someone else would try to give it a shot 💚
As a Finn I must comment on this. Do not use led as it is poisonous and actually the "new years tin"- charms traditionally sold in regular supermarkets have been made illegal for their large led content and replased with more expensive pure tin ones. Thesharm is done by casting the melted material in a bucket of cold water, some people use a bucket of melted snow. It is becoming low key fashionable to indeed do the charm with beeswax which is easyer to get in other lands. Just remember that if you melt metal on a stove you need a special tool for the thing or else your pot will be ruined. Just google "tinakauha" to see what I mean. The divination itself is often done by the melted lumps shadow in a wall by candle flame.
This is super popular in Germany. You can buy kits for this in a lot of places here. Its a lot of fun 😊
Happy Yule Hearth!
Happy Yuletide Hearth Witch Blessed be. 😊
Blend of winter solstice and Yule light celebration.
Love your snowflake topper. I work with kids crafts and I changed the tree craft design to be more winter soulstice oriented, replacing the star of bethlehem corporate has on their example with a snowflake of the winter soulstice. Oh and making the template multi-coloured since we had the ability to do that (encouraging creativity, to hide the pagan elemant from people I want it hidden from). A few people have picked up on the subtle pagan insert in a good way.
I need a Hearthwitch Cookery channel now.❤
Pull out glass candle!? 🤯 I didn't know those existed! I need
Cookies! Good Job! I like to bake a tiny bit but SOUP, I'm all about that.
I love your tree 🖤 So wonderful mix of fairy and Christmas/Yule and I could just sit there and look at it for hours^^
What tarot did you use on your altar? It was so nice and colourful
I decorate a Christmas Fairy tree.🧚♀️🎄. Good job with your cookies. I can't make a decent cookie to save my life😂. Happy Yule/Christmas and Blessed Be from Phoenix, Arizona 😎🌵💖
I love your wallpaper!❤ and the color of the wall on the other side🤩 thanks for showing us!
A Christmas tree is always part of our celebrations too :-)🌲🎄and I never saw it as something religious but rooted in pagan tradition, even when we put an angel on top 😄😉
Btw a quick off-topic sidenote: if anyone is interested, tonight on BBC 2 it's witching hour, with The Witches of Eastwick!😉❣️
We have a couple of things in common not a planner, procrastinating in some things. I have a white Christmas 🎄
I'm so unhappy about the way the days keep getting colder and shorter. I mean, I enjoy the night, but not all the time. I don't have a "tree" or money to get one, but I just can't wait for the days to begin getting longer again.
Sugar cookies make great gifts.
I am clearing out a lot of clutter, much of which has been accumulating since 2020 and before. Time to start anew. I will, no doubt, find several items that have gone missing.
The live stream of the Solstice sunrise from Stonehenge sounds delightful.
Thank you so much!
I prefer to see the Solstice in at Avebury. Less busy, closer and its just as magical
2:01 I felt this but because I identify with both Celtic Paganism and the Catholicism I grew up with
Last yule I've just got together with the family watching the polar express, the nightmare before Christmas, and the grinch mostly we would decorate the house days after Thanksgiving but we got the job done. This year im thinking on getting hammered and make champaign jellies, bake peppermint and gingerbread do a little bit of spell work and get more drunky 🍷🎄🍷
Im celebrating Yule by baking my Yule Log Cake! :) Its tradition now that every Yule I make it. I actually made it a tradition that every Sabat, I bake and cook a meal with pies, cakes, savory dishes, and many other things. I also do tarot and readings as well, including mediumship for free on social media if im feeling charitable.
This winter season, I am planning on doing lots of spells and rituals and meditation and nature walks to help me advance as a witch. I have copal resin and herbs to make a nice Yule blend!
Happy Yule, Hearth!
This year, I'm going to make a gingerbread house. Maybe throw in a prosperity spell in there as well. But mostly, just gonna be cozy
I did my altar in November before Thanksgiving
I'm moving soon so i probably won't be doing many celebrations till im settled in to our new home, things like getting my sabbat altar changed out, or putting up the tree, but i think at least I'd love to do that protection spell before we move.
blessed yule to you ..
I could love a eye make up totorial❤.
This would be my first "Christmas" as Slavic (pre-Christian) practisioner 👀 So I am cleaning whole house thinking about this year, future year and my practise. I dont have an Altar still... And I thought maybe its Good to start new year with having one and doing it in december would seal my practise as Slavic-eclectic witch 🤟 for what is coming.
But I’m Obsessed With Those Earrings !!!
🍪 I got amazing cookie cutters they were the Norse symbols ancient Viking symbols or probably some modern-day symbols that we use we think they’re old Viking ;) anyways, expensive and I love them. I got them on Etsy they were probably made on somebody’s 3-D printer. vegvisir valknut etc what you can do with them is make a hard door that dries and instead of using it to eat, you decorate it, make it a little bit thicker make sure to put a hole in the top and you make it as a ornament, my husband has his hanging from his rearview mirror. His car is a Compass 🧭
I dont have any current plans for yule even tho id like to set up a altar and celebrate a sabbat for once 🤣.
Im mainly looking forward to new years eve as it will be one year since i dedicated myself to worshipping Hecate and just seeing how much my life has changed since then. Admittedly ive gotten kinda distracted from my practice lately as ive recently began my weight loss journey last month and have been using my daily work outs as a offering to the horned god hoping to build a working relationship with him as i become more confortable with masculine energy (while i am male i have always been more on the feminine side of things.) May do a additional bay leaf spell or 2 to put some additional intentions out into the universe but i have been doing alot of inner work
I'm a new witch and am starting to research Yule. I was wondering if I am simply able to celebrate or if I need to be more serious. From what I have learned (a lot!) Is that it feels much more comfortable than the more religious tones of Christianity. I have very complicated beliefs, but I would love to join these beautiful traditions! Thank you for this video, and have a wonderful Yule! ❤
Loving the video, but I had mesmerized by your eye makeup! What did you use to achieve that look? And if you wanna throw in the name of the lipstick, I'd love to know that too. :) We have just moved into a new house that is leaps and bounds better than our old house and I'm looking forward to doing some of these!
The Christmas tree has always been the Yule tree/ Saturnalia Tree so no harm, feeling any religious or commercial associations with it 😊 ya know all the traditions came from us anyway
I am not a baker either, stews, yes, the only baking I am good at is breads.
Btw, do you have any advice on moving into a new home and transporting all of my witchy items? I'm already set and planned out for getting my new home ready spiritually, but idk how to best transport my witchcraft items and protect their energies and spiritual power
You could try America's test kitchen, they test all their recipes and provide step by step instructions 😊
When will your next Q&A be please or the unpopular opinions. Are thos on a poll that u read from
I always thought decorated trees were pagan in the first place lol. Something about bringing tree spirits in for the cold months? Offerings of food to them. Lights/gold decor to represent our appreciation of the sun and our eager anticipation for its return. My Christian family stopped celebrating Christmas when my dad found out about all the pagan origins. Now look at me 😂
My first time commenting on your videos, so I must say, I absolutely appreciate you. To make this "short", I truly wish that any practitioner would come across your videos. Especially beginners. Do you have more knowledge than anyone else I have seen you. You are also very respectful and speak up for us male practitioner. I absolutely adore you. Anyway, I only have one thing to say about this video. Christians actually should not put a tree in their homes. Their God said not to bring in a tree, and not to decorate it with a star. Because he said it's what gentiles do. Pagans did that to bring life into the home. Mostly for happy thoughts too get through the winter. Anyway, keep it up, you do a wonderful job at giving proper knowledge. Thank you for that.
Hi where do I get the glass and candle from please
I tend to give cookies to my Jewish and Christian friends as a gift, it saves money and is more meaningful
What did you use to draw the sigils on your candle? It’s so bright and makes them really stand out.
I wondered this too?
I use candle paint, you can usually find it at craft stores, for pale candles you can also use melted wax to paint designs on.
@@HearthWitch thanks!!
What site/channel streams the stone henge?
The "xmas tree" was traditionally NEVER a christian practice, matter of fact it even states it in the bible to not bring in any tree to your home. The tree was a Scandinavian practice done during the cold dark winter months, as it gets and stays very dark during parts of winter, to keep ppls spirits up with the sight of greenery in the home and remind them of the spring and summer and they would add different items that represented, protection, abundance, the ancestors, and other things tht would help to brighten up the home. The tree is very very VERY much a nordic practice not a christian one....they just, for some reason dnt follow tht part of their book 🤷♀️ and have tried to claim it as theirs.....a little history lesson and dive into their own book would clear tht up.
First comment Hey hearth are you doing the #12daysofyule ? Also I posted an edit it of you I would absolutely die if you saw it 🎉
Love that moon face ornament!
WITCHS PLEAS HELP ok so im a 13 yr old witch and i did a snow spell for this winter then it started raining right after then i got sick and im feeling terrible i asked the air,sea,and sky for help and gave a offering is this normal? and how can i fix it:(
