in Lithuania a plant that is traditionally associated with Midsummer (a HUGE Pagan celebration over here btw) is the Fern. The folk tradition says that the one who manages to find the "fern blossom" will be blessed with love and fertility. The "practical" implication of this involves a lot of young single people "searching for fern blossoms" in the woods 😏😏
I’m so glad that you took the break you needed and that you’ve found you way back! I appreciate your channel, insight, and knowledge. Screw the haters! You are amazing and the content you make is so valuable and inspiring to this baby pagan!
This is random, but Charles Dickens got some inspiration from his children's Irish nanny during his time writing, A Christmas Carol. So, there are a lot of pagan and folklore elements in it, because of her. I love that story, so much. Especially since it keeps the whole telling ghost stories during the yuletide season alive!
I am in Georgia too! Just outside of Atlanta. I found your channel a few months ago and am trying to learn more about paganism. Thanks for all the great info and positivity!
Funny you suggest to wake up early tosee the sunrise or go to bed after the sunset. I am a... well "sun person" ? Like a chicken I guess 🤣 always waking up when the sun is rising and go to bed when it's finally night ! Dunno, my body is like that I just can't sleep when it's day light... So during spring/summer I don't sleep much ! But Fall/Winter are a game changer ! 😂
some other herbs - tansy, mugwart, mallow and the aforementioned st. john's wort ...just off the top of my head, very positive there are very more :) burdock is also about as is stinging nettles which are starting to get strong (grow) happy midsummer
Sorry that I missed your live stream of Pagan Happy Hour... REALLY GLAD your back. Also really glad that you were were able to unplug and focus on your own mental health. Love your content and missed your beautiful smile. ALWAYS stay true to yourself... and it will shine through all that you do!
here in finland our holiday is called "jussit" which is one of the names of the hare, or more likely the hare goddess earlier (which could be the animal form of the earth / birth goddess, or elsewhere just a local river goddess, all deities being local originally, more like tribal totems). it does match with my personal observations in nature.. because you really start to see the hares now (especially the darker forest ones), and of course earth itself being in full bloom (they say it´s the time when the leaf is full or complete). also there is some strong ties to water or the water spirit (mother of the water and also the ancestor spirits moving through water, the other such holiday being in winter, it´s the customs of lake or riverside tribes). personally i just celebrate sunny days so fixed holidays mean very little to me (like now it was very cloudy, but i still had my fun, maybe it´s the gentle summer winds, they make even the cloudy days nice, summer winds and happy people, can´t ask much more).
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I'd like to be more connected to nature and see hares etc. I think we still have them here in the wild, quiet places in Ireland 🐇🦊🦌🐀🦔🦇🦡🦉
Hi Scarlet! Glad you’re back & I agree don’t worry about the numbers & ignore the algorithms & hate comments. Just keep doing what you want to do & focus on what makes you happy. You can’t make everyone happy (There’s always someone who is going to bitch & complain) so don’t even try. Thank you for your videos I really enjoy them!!
This was so interesting and enjoyable. Lovely to see you back! Interesting about the cicadas- I hadn't heard that before. I remember reading from Ronald Hutton about folklore around herbs like valerian and lavender being thrown into the bonfires by young women to manifest love. And the Scandinavian folklore where young unwed women would pick 7 flowers and place them beneath their pillows to dream about their future husband on Midsommar! Sooooo fascinating! I uploaded a Summer Solstice video on my channel a few days ago as well. Solstice Blessings 🙏 🌞🥰Xxx
Merry Meet, Glad to hear you are back and doing well. My husband and I look forward to Pagan Happy Hour. We are in the U.P Michigan and having wine and an herbal pipe 420.
Im still trying to figure out what to do for litha but Im not sure. Maybe Ill go out . idk i have some ideas. Maybe get some icecream go to the park get some hotdogs and something special to drink.probably rootbeer since i havent had any in ages. I definately wanna get a wreath for Freyr.
Authenticity matters on this path. I’ve missed you and I’ve missed Pagan Happy Hour, but I’m so happy you’ve been able to recharge! Happy Midsummer, Scarlet!
As far as Folklore and Mythology is concerned. When we dream and then wake we don't say that dream didn't happen, you did dream. Mythology and Folklore is the dream of your ancestors. The most we can try to do is try to find all the dreams so we can come up with a better picture of what the Gods and Goddesses were trying to tell them. To get a better picture of a black hole scientists stack pictures to make one clear picture of far away objects.
For those living in the city, sabbats could be an incredible opportunity to travel to the nearest national park or hiking area and spend some time getting grounded!!
Hi, Haven't looked you up for a while. I see everything is at leased 1 year old. Have you stopped with your videos? That would be a major shame for your followers. have a wonderful Yule.

I like how you mentioned Pagans view life in a cyclical fashion, and the examples you included to elaborate on that.
Love what you said about a Christmas carol. I actually would love to see a video on your favorite pagan fiction books, movies and TV shows!

You are delightful! I enjoy all of your content. I have only been watching for a couple of months. You go girl😁

here in finland our holiday is called
"jussit" which is one of the names of
the hare, or more likely the hare
goddess earlier (which could be the
animal form of the earth / birth
goddess, or elsewhere just a local
river goddess, all deities being local
originally, more like tribal totems).
it does match with my personal
observations in nature.. because you
really start to see the hares now
(especially the darker forest ones),
and of course earth itself being in
full bloom (they say it´s the time
when the leaf is full or complete).
also there is some strong ties to water
or the water spirit (mother of the water
and also the ancestor spirits moving
through water, the other such holiday
being in winter, it´s the customs of
lake or riverside tribes).
personally i just celebrate sunny days
so fixed holidays mean very little to me
(like now it was very cloudy, but i still
had my fun, maybe it´s the gentle summer
winds, they make even the cloudy days nice,
summer winds and happy people,
can´t ask much more).

I was a big fan of the happy hour, but now I'm employed and can no longer participate live as I'm in the middle of my commute when it's going on. 🙁
As a fellow biz witch, I appreciate your transparency about your experience with RUclips.
I wish I could have caught the live, I really enjoyed watching this!
