“I’m not in the business of preaching. . . I’m just in the business of inspiring.” Absolutely brilliant!
😄❣️
Such an amazing quote. ❤️
It really is brilliant! I considered writing in down, but it might have just been stuck in my head on its own power.
"Our grubby little goblin hands" That's a keeper 😁
Heheh 😝
I've always been torn to choose a specific witchy "label" because I identify with so many of them. Kitchen witch, sea witch, etc. Most people call me a green witch because I'm gardening, learning to preserve food, keeping animals, learning about herbalism, giving water to bees in summer, and have a tendency to wander through the woods hugging trees, lol. After watching this and hearing your explanation of Green Witchery, I guess I can agree that I am a green witch.
I also can never subscribe to just one label 😄 (I do for the sake of RUclips algorithm haha but in real life, I just call myself a plain old witch hehe...) And yes! The mushroom is wonderful - it was used since ancient on. I do think, they also found pieces of it with the iceman aka Ötzi - a mummified body from 3350 B.C. they found in the alps
@@Thewitchescookery the things we do for the almighty algorithm, lol.
That’s so cool about the ice man!
I too cannot wear a witchy label. I can honestly say too many can be used to describe my practices and what I teach in my Circle.
I am very fortunate that all of my Coven members are my family by blood or by Rite of Marriage . (2 nephews , myself , & my hubby , & their wives). Because we are family we have Sunday dinner at my place every week and then we have what my hubby calls "Pagan Sunday School" . LoL
But yeah , Green , Ceremonial , Garden , Herbal , too many to describe the ways I do things. I also spent 20yrs adapting a very Eclectic Wiccan Tradition around my own Native American Culture " Chicka-Wicca" is what 1 of my nephew's calls it. I am Chickasaw Indian Nation , so I add a whole new strand to the Web.
Blessed Be
Much love from Oklahoma
So would you call urself eclectic?
@@jwilfinger2838 I usually just call myself a witch. I don’t seem to have a need to narrow it down. Other people seem to need to label me further in order to make sense of it. I think it’s just easier for people to picture in their heads what I might do if they can apply it to a category. Kitchen witches cook, green witches plant and hug trees, healers grow herbs and make potions, sea hags work with tides and the moon and water dwelling creatures, etc. I do all of that and a lot more. But, I just do whatever feels right and makes sense at any given time.
I’m slowly starting to become a green witch! So calming and natural, thanks Witch Cookery
It is a wonderful path ☺️🌱
Merry meet I'm a Green Witch also. I'm very introverted though and I truly get lonely for a sister in craft close by, but I talk to my cats and the forest animals and to the trees, moon and stars.🍃💚🌿🌻🌹🌾🍄
Hello ☺️👋 I feel you - it can indeed be lonely to not have kindred souls around - but luckily the internet somewhat provides a bit of a chance for exchange and bonding with like-minded witches ☺️❤️✨
We are here, not physically close but standing with you.
Same here. ❤️
Btw its illegal here to sell raw milk in stores. It can only be purchased direct on farms and I live in the city so I need to drive am hour each way to buy milk.
@@RobinCurrie here supermarkets also don't have it, but Germany is luckily full of farms hihi - so you always can get it close by. Sooooo yummy!!
I love this video! 🧡 You are always such a breath of fresh air to listen to.
Today in my corner of the world we had an ice storm and everything- the roads, the ground- is covered in a solid sheet of ice. You can’t walk at all without falling. I’m not exaggerating you literally cannot take a single step. School was canceled today as well. So I couldn’t go out and forage for witch hazel twigs like I had planned!
I planted my indoor herb garden last week and already my calendula and borage have germinated. It brings me so much happiness to see that it’s possible to foster life inside the home, and your video reminded me that the life outside is just dormant and hasn’t gone anywhere! Thank you so much for the inspiration🌹🌺🌿🌱 Wishing you all the best!
That sounds dreadful 😅 definitely not a day to leave the house - best be cozy inside, eat soup and light some candles while watching the seeds germinate hihi I am sure spring is in the near(ish) future!! Have a wonderful, relaxed day 🌱💚
“Grubby little goblin hands” 🤣🤣🤣 Love that analogy!!!
hehehe 😁
I feel a lot of the green witch aspects are something I have done quite naturally in life. Have my Mother to thank for that.
I also love cooking and baking so 'kitchen witch' is probably a label of mine and I love trying your recipes.
Maybe when I have more of my own space I can try more things like potion crafting etc. and explore my craft more. I've been reading tarot semi regularly for 8years...8YEARS!? now and I suppose it is the most regularly 'purposeful' witchy thing that I do. As in, it is not done subconsciously.
That is wonderful! It is so fun to experiment with food and herbs / plants ☺️ I hope you will have all the sapce and freedom to do so when you have your own space!
*Nature is perfect and it has always been what I have tried to put into all my eco-friendly Crafting.*
*I use local stones in my magic, because Michigan used to be under an ancient ocean, so they are encrusted with ancient flora and fauna.*
*I shake all mushrooms in the area that I collect, so they can reproduce.*
*My sons were raised to love nature as much as I do.* *My grandson(4) enjoys hugging trees, it makes our hikes longer because he wants to hug every tree.*
9:26 makes such a great point! My feeling is that if an item like a crystal is obtained through harmful methods, that negativity can be carried on to the user.
I've started taking walks around my neighborhood for my mental health. Yes, it has helped immensely, so thank you 💝 I will try to start taking a bag with me to pick up some trash along the way. Thank you for your constant supporting content!
Now we are having am ice storm! It's nice to see you showing me that spring is coming! It's just a little later for us here in Northeast U.S.!! So thank you .
That sounds dangerous! Spring os definitely slumbering under all the snow and ice ☺️🌨️🌱 sending some sunny weather your way
@@Thewitchescookery last.time you posted we were having a blizzard. 😆
I feel you, sending love from new england as well
Hello Rebeka the 6 February its the Lycanthrope day and I want to say Happy Lycanthrope Day 🙂
Thank you for sharing the eco-friendly shoe info. They get extra brownie points for being witch friendly! 🧙♀️💜
Happy you like them! I thought their concept is so cool 😄👏👏
💗 those booties! And being environmentally friendly and helping to save our oceans is a total win-win!
@@celticseaalchemist7667 A quick look at the website and I’ve already got a wish list!
You are so adorable!! 😊
I’ve always thought of myself as a “green witch” without using the label. I’ve experienced some true earth magic from just being outside. And I absolutely love cooking and crafting different recipes using things I’ve foraged from the forest and my backyard.
I've been thinking a lot recently how really out of touch with the Earth I am (both as the element and to our beautiful planet as well). I've been thinking of ways that I can try to reconnect; I had dreams once of having a large herbal and vegetable garden, but considering I'm absolutely awful at raising plants that's probably a no go for me lol. Right now I think the best thing to do is just start spending more time outside (I'm a very guilty house hermit) sitting outside on my patio, going to the local park, or even the forestry nearby. That and try to make more of an effort to make more eco-conscious decisions in my daily life. Lovely video as always, I truly enjoyed it.
I firmly believe everyone can grow plants. There are no 'brown thumbs'. It is just a negative mindset. I had a friend that way once. I brought her some of my favourite plants and taught her to believe in herself and be positive. She got quite good with plants. I've been telling a lot of others that being positive towards ones plants will have them growing--plants can feel the negative thoughts, so think green positive thoughts!
I've never really labeled myself but I am all into nature, cooking, gardening etc. So I guess I'm a green witch more than anything. Thanks for these wonderful ideas and tips. Love your videos. So inspiring!
The coal mushroom was genius! Thanks!!!❤
I want to be a green witch but find it difficult to keep connected to the world around me! This video feels like it could help so much! My goal is to spend more time in nature
Time spent in nature is so beneficial on so many levels ☺️💚 it hope it helps you in some small ways to incorporate more green witchery into your life and connect with the natural world!
New to your channel. You came to me when I was ready to accept my gifts and when I am proud to let others know who I really am.
Thank you, my friend. I have to laugh, you reminded me of my own journey. Recently, as I was walking to my bestie's house for dinner and a movie, I picked up a couple of pinecones and gifted them to her. She said, what are these for? 🤣😆🤣 I said, tis the season, decorate your home with them. She's just going to have to get used to my ways.
Wow this tip with the mushroom for smoke cleansing is actually really innovative!! Have to try that 😃 Loved the footage of all the different seasons btw 💚
Haha that technique is actually super ancient! They already found it with Ötzi - and he is like 5500 years old 😂
@@Thewitchescookery Haha 🤣 Well so innovative was the wrong word! Let's say it is clever 😅
@@theartofnaturegermany that for sure!! 😄
I use shelf fungi as altar offerings representing decay ( feelings, addictive need, unwanted contact)
This is my first time on your channel and I must say that I have fell in love with your energy and teachings. Thank you!
What a lovely Video. And truly inspiring. Thank you so much.
Thank you! So happy you think so ☺️❣️
Hello the 6 February its the Lycanthrope day and I want to say Happy Lycanthrope day to everyone 🙂

What a wonderful video! 👏 Greetings to all green witches! ☺
Thank you, lovely!! Hope you are doing well 🤗💚
I love your channel, can’t wait for your books!
You are so sweet! ❤️
You know I love your videos. That mushroom made me so happy! I love when you Forest glean and I get to see your finds. These shoes are awesome! I would love a pair. And all these suggestions on how to give back to the earth through eco conscious living. I am so with you. Plastic is in everything. Even I ship with plastic wrap but I have been seeking solutions. Inspire away fellow green witch!
Thank you so much, Heather 💚✨☺️ in this day and age, being eco-concious is so hard as absolutely everything is made in a way that destroys nature but it is lovely to find places and companies that work against that! also, maybe reach out to Vivaia! I could imagine they would be interested.
Ummm I 💕 the store you visited. Co-op grocery living is a wonderful way to go.

Loooove your accent and how you say Vitch! You have such wonderful energy!
😄 it is the pesky German accent hihi so happy you enjoy!
I'm an Italian neighbour ;)
I like that witchcraft doesn’t need a salesperson only an awakening…
I love your videos and look forward to them! This felt like “permission” to not label myself as a particular type of witch…I just do what feels good and natural to me. Thanks for that! 😍
So wonderful you feel this way! That is exactely the message that I would like them to convay - just be you and do what feel good to you :)
Your personality and energy is beautiful 😊
Ahhhh the joy of Zucchini! I grew up on a farm and we had a garden. I had lots of zucchini growing up. I still like it, but my brother can't stand it. LOL Love this video! Have a great day!
Hahah same with my brother and me!! Fried Zucchini with salt and oil is to this day one of my favourite quick snack meal 😄🥒 have a magical weekend!
Thank you this was so informational I am a green witch
I love the mushroom tip! I always learn something from your videos
Super happy to hear! It is such a nifty trick indeed!
Great suggestions! Thank you!
I absolutely love your content and your message. You have inspired me these last few months since I’ve found your channel ❤️❤️❤️
I save & leave pet hair (and sometimes my own!) in the branches of trees and bushes that I harvest from. A little something for the nesting creatures. 💗
Interesting! Definitely a great way to keep deer out of your garden - but I wouldn't like to do that in the wild to mess with their territory
I just found your channel. Awesome. I just LOVE your energy and fun personality. I will now bing on all I missed.
Well it's so true that you're in the business of inspiring Bex because you inspire me constantly with your words of wisdom and of course, stunning cooking at the end too!!!
Thank you lovely : )
I’ve been burning a bunch of pine lately, such a wonderful scent. I love the fan you made! ✨
I also have to say I absolutely love your style and aesthetic! This page brings me so much joy!
You are absolutely adorable! I love how eco friendly your markets are ❤️
Oh thanks - you are so sweet 🥰 and yeeees, the markets here are wonderful indeed! I feel very blessed to have them
I love your videos in so many ways, but they always remind me of good memories of living in Germany 💗 I'm making cream of potato and leek soup while watching ...which was one of my favorites from my time over there. It's a chilly, rainy, sleeting day here = perfect soup day 🥰
That sounds absolutely delicious!! Here is is a sleet day here too - so I had the rest of the goulash with some buttered bread hihi
@@Thewitchescookery oh yum! A perfect day for a fire too😊
Edit: sharing more of my day's experience in line with the theme of your video...one of my favorite flohmarkt treasures I use regularly in my kitchen- a hand embroidered apron. I always wished I knew more about the hands that created it. This was from the early 90s. Loved the Flohmarkts and the bio farm in our village. Fresh milk and fresh ground flour💜
I was also grateful for the rain washing away the 13 inches of snow from my thyme so I could add it to my soup😋
I made potato and Leek soup this week too!!
@@RobinCurrie maybe it's an Imbolc vibe💜😉 It is just so comforting and filling...and yummy!
Love it! Yes! Thankyou xxx
So happy to hear ❤️
Well done! I particularly enjoyed the Devil's Stone!
When I saw you hugging the tree, it made me smile. I had a redwood tree in my backyard a long time ago, and I was compelled to hug it everyday!! I’m only recently understanding why. Thank you!
i know i’m a year late, but i’ve recently gotten into witchcraft and have been trying to learn about different herbs and plants i can use and just trying to find inspiration. i just came across your channel through this video and i wanted to say that you seem so so lovely! i love your positive energy and outlook towards your cooking. i also really loved how you have your kids help you so much with shopping and cooking and letting them learn and grow in independence. you seem like such a kind and thoughtful person; i will definitely subscribe and watch all of your content i’m sure💖
Thank you for sharing! I love learning from you I've learned so much thank you ❤️
That is wonderful to hear - glad you enjoyed it! 🤗
Oh my! I wish I had stores like that around me!!!!! How lovely :)
As always really enjoyed this video. Thank you
🤗❤️
I’m just an old European lady besotted with Celtic & Northern European folk magick (my heritage). What I love are all these young, wildly independent, green, kitchen, cottage, broom closet, what have you witches bringing it back to life, and boldly & shamelessly sharing their knowledge & innovations on the worldwide web. As a “Recovering Catholic” this gives me endless joy & satisfaction. 😂😂😂
Love and blessings to you all! 💗💗💗
Awwww so happy to hear that you enjoy it! Sending much live :)
Amazing video and partnership! I loved the transitions and the beautiful places you visit.
So happy to hear - thank you!!
Mary part and have a beautiful day.
Love yoir savory galette!
You are so incredibly wonderful! I love how bubbly you are!
I am a witch but i love nature and i jave a broom and i love this videoo
Love the video, as usual! And your little one is super cute!
Thank you so much 🥰
I enjoy your channel ever so much. We live in a world that relishes in labels, it seems. I've never really labeled my craft, but if I were to, it would be green. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
A really lovely video... much LOVE from the chilly US!!
Thank you so much!! Sending you some sunshine 🤗
A mindset of being part of nature instead of separate from nature is how my brain is now. I'm still learning and growing. Guilty of mass consumption in the past. I find for myself I'm so thankful for your videos and down to earth approach. Thanks for the heads up on the shoes . I live in the Ozarks and have only bought my crystals from a shop that digs them up in Arkansas. It's on my bucket list to go dig for crystals myself one day. Loved the video. Living my magical life unlabeled.
wow, excellent video as usual! Thanks so much. Subscriber and Patron from Florida.
Thank you, lovely!! Did you already join the new patreon only Facebook group? ☺️❤️
Love the tree hugging!
Hihi it feels very nice!
I like your videos!!! Cool idea to replace the blocks of coal! :D
Mary morning,
I'm glad to have stumbled upon this video. I realize I'm a Green Witch for sure.
Whenever a new plant or seedling shows itself in the my yard, I allow it to grow to see just what will come to be...so exciting!
All my ingredients are fruits, spices, herbs, and the like. I can't use any smoke due to my wife is highly allergic. I can't use smoke either. Now, I did use tea candles and I have either extinguish it out side or allow it to burn completely out.
Anyway, I'm glad to continue learning everyday about the Craft. I do agree that a Witch is a Witch regardless of the label, however, I do like the title "Green Witch."
I just love your videos ❤️
☺️❤️ thank you!
Wheel of the Year is based on Northern Hemisphere of the Earth. My friends in Australia are celebrating Beltaine when in my part of the world we are celebrating Samhain.
So south of the Equator reverse the Wheel is how they operate
Correct :) but depending on how far you are from the equator, the dates and festivities might also shift backwards or forwards
Omgoodness! That store ❤❤❤❤ i wish we had something like that here!!
We have a lot go those zero waste stores here and I aaaabsolutely adore them!
That food looks so tasty!!!!❤
I always love your videos and I appreciate all you do and the energy you share. May I ask, where did you get your teal/dark green dress?? I am in love.
I love this video💚
🤗💚
How inspiring and so rich with ideas of what to do with what you find in nature. I like the habit of giving things back. Here in Canada children and childlike adults have been painting on stone and leaving them everywhere in the woods.
Oooh so nice to hear - We do that here too! Especially during the pandemic a lot of people would go hunt for the colored stones and leave one in return with a picture or inspirational quote, or make long rows and pictures with them. Such a lovely thing!
Thank you 💕
🤗❤️

So happy you think so! Schöne Grüße in den hohen Norden 😄🌨️
Ha! I was just thinking of you and there you are.
Hehehe 😄🤪
hi first of all i love your vlogs they give me so many useful tips as a baby witch .i have a question what herbs can i grow indoors in those cardboard egg boxes ? 🥰
I have a book called Gardening and Planting by the Moon by Nick Kollerstrom. It separates each type of planting by the cycle of the moon. You see on the calender when the moon passes in front of the stars of one of 3 planets linked to the earth element (zodiac)Root days relate to earth signs, like carrots and potatoes. Next are leaf days=water plants and air signs. Lettuce and other leafy crops. Next, flower days=air signs. Broccoli and corn are 2 examples. Last is the fire signs=flower. Tomatoes beans and peas. The book is from 2008 but the calender can be used for any year. Ive had sucess using this method though it takes a lot of planning. I use a notebook. I also get my seeds from Territorial which have never disappointed me.
I'm gonna have to bounce around every area, but witches are always focused on themselves. Meaning their energy and space are kept safe and maintained
I would love to see the recipe for the potato tart, if that's what that was. looks amazing!
I linked it underneath the video in the description box! It was sooooo yummy 🤤
This is truely witchcraft!
Oh, I want that long lovely green dress!
So happy you like it - I believe it is from Xiaolizi ☺️
Bex, what was the potato/pastry thing you made? Looks like itd be delicious!
It is a leak gallette - soooo good!!! The recipe link is in the description box ☺️
Love from Texas!!!!
Love and blessings from southern Germany to you ☺️❤️
@@Thewitchescookery, I found you & now I adore you!! BB 🥰
My uncle is a butcherer, all his animals have a huuuuuge garden to grow and live happily in, until they meet their demise by his hands
Beautiful video. Beautiful little boy
Thank you 🤗
Loved this! As an Eclectic (honestly, too many labels apply for me including Green, hah!) witch starting a garden helped me so much to get in tune with the seasons. I remember, mid July, working in my garden and suddenly feeling the vibe of fall around. This happened again, recently, while taking a walk in the forest and suddenly feeling spring vibes around. It also made me want to hibernate, then plan during this winter.
Könntest du (oder andere, die das lesen) vielleicht mal ein paar "local folk witchcraft" Quellen über DE teilen, die du gut findest? Ich weiß immer nicht, wo ich sowas am besten finde bzw. wo man anfängt
I love those boots….so expensive tho!!! 😢
Thanks. Yes you have to be resourceful I live in the suburbs it a must. I live across the street from two schools the kids and thier parents quite wasteful I pick up what the drop. Even the trash like thier masks to pick up dog poo 😆 a different sort of life. As well natural plant stuff in season.
That is a wonderful thing to do!! 💚 So sad they don't pick up after themselves...
What are the mushrooms called?
Love the booties!!!
Aren't they super cute? ☺️
Where do you get your gorgeous cloaks? I love your videos thanks for everything ?
Thank you so much? ❤️ The gray one? I bought it at a medieval fair years ago so unfortunately I don't know the vendor ☹️
I love and am quite drawn to Pines and Cedars and feel sad that i have to be very careful around (allergy tab) last year had a severe reaction and ended up with Christmas tree rash taking almost 4 mth to get rid of and now am a little too careful in my gardens (scared maybe?) Is there any suggestions that can still somehow include it in life with out having the reactions? I have asked if there are subs from my family but they all come up with the same thing :( thank your videos and the time in making them :) :)
Oh that is unfortunate! I can't really think of a safe way of using or working with them if you are allergic 😞 unless, you would seak treatment for your allergy. Personally I was really allergic to birch and alder tree and I did a desensitisation / allergen immunotherapy treatment with my doctor where you take drops of the concentrated allergens under your tongue (or get them injected) for a couple of months and my allergy now is completely gone. (Luckily, because I live surrounded by birch trees now haha) But I don't know if that is an option for you and your specific allergies.
