    My ancestors were germanic/nordic pagan and I've been trying to learn more about how they would have lived, so this is super cool. Plus, my coven (we're a super new coven and most of us are brand new witches, some of which are also Christian) and I are thinking about doing a traditional Yule holiday to celebrate and draw ourselves closer to our ancestors and ethnic heritage.

    This is so beautiful! I love how informative your videos are about the WHY. So much when you come across witchcraft videos, people say, this is what we do - never a why, and never any wiggle room for free will! Its always, use this crystal, use that herb, you can't do it on such and such a day. Why? Because everyone does it that way 🤔😓🤦‍♀️I like your detailed but simple and tasteful approach to witchcraft and respect of the old ways very much 💜 blessed solstice to you and your sweet family

    • @Thewitchescookery
      @Thewitchescookery  2 года назад +16

      So happy you say so! That is also my biiiiiggest pet-peeve when it come to witchcraft related materials - regardless if itis videos, books or just peoples opinions. I even suspect that a lot of people never ask 'why', they just do - which of course is fine if it works for you. But what is so magical to me is especially the lore and history behind it all 😊 have a most magical winter solstice ❄☃

      @@Thewitchescookery Most of our parades were cancelled as well. We did things a little differently during the pandemic. We set up various little scenes in an area, and on Krampus Nacht, people could drive through our little "Krampus Lane" and enjoy improvised performances by the members of my krewe in a drive-thru "reverse" parade. We have other characters in addition to Krampus - even a few Frau Perchtas! It was a lot more work than the usual Krampuslaufe, but worth it to see people getting to enjoy a parade - even if it was an immobile one.

So we are doing our Yule tomorrow night. Been running all over town to get food and drinks for everyone and then get to both cook and decorate like a madman until everyone begins to arrive . We have always kept to this rule abóut gift giving : must be Magickal , and must be handmade. Beyond that have fun and get creative with it.

Sometimes (like today) I covertly watch this at work with my small bluetooth earpiece - my co-workers wonder what I am giggling about...
    I have your cauldron in my Amazon cart! I am also looking for a grey hooded cape like yours (which I have loved for awhile now) - but as you may remember I live in the Florida Keys so I need just a lightweight one for those rare cooler or rainy days. It would allow me a little witchy aesthetic without being obvious. I'm looking at rain ponchos on Amazon (basically our only shopping on these islands). I was already planning the pinecone ritual but I was going to write on slips of paper - never thought of bay leaves. I'm on the hunt for those now.
    I loved this video. Thank you. Happy Yule and Winter Solstice to you and your family!

      Either you are very hardcore when it comes to the cold or it must be very warm were you live 😅 I definitely wouldn't brave the outsides barefoot at the moment!! The snow here comes and goes, I think we will have to wait til January for it to stick around ❄️ but those snowy mornings are indeed the best ✨

    I am thoroughly enjoying your videos. Thank you so much. I am new to Witchcraft, though I know in my heart I’ve always been a Witch. I wasn’t raised as one, and I’m constantly seeking information and soulful ways to express myself though this craft. I appreciate all of the information, attention to detail and the warm, kind, welcome I feel from you and your videos. I appreciate you! ✨🌀💚🙏🏻💚🌀✨

    I always feel as if I leave your company having learned valuable history! Thanks, Bex 💕 As a tiny addition to your recount of the association of “light” with birth, in modern Spanish to give birth is literally translated as, “Dar luz” or “To give/produce light”.
