  • Hello dear friends,
    Welcome to my channel. Today we explore my Yule traditions that provide warmth magic and healing. Make wassail with me and set up my Yule tree! Let me know if you end up making the Wassail and let me know what you use to decorate your tree!
    Wassail Recipe: nourishedkitch...
    I do change the recipe up for myself and I do not add alcohol which allows me to steep the spices and fruit much longer. 🤍

    I’m crying with envy over your beautiful tree and mantel! I love the way you brought darkness and light together for a magical Witchmas!

      Oh my gosh, no way, you have the most beautiful tree! I did babies breathe one year too! I thought of doing roses, but never fresh, I wanted mine dry and they didn’t dry in time, so I opted out of them for my tree, I don’t know why I didn’t think to do them fresh like you did! Your tree is amazing and so beautiful. Hahah yess you understand the bow pain 😂. Thank you for checking out my video and I will def be checking out the rest of your channel 🤍 blessed Yule my friend!

      @ You are so sweet! Thank you for saying so! Fresh roses on the tree are beautiful but they tend to wilt after a few days so I will definitely be buying fresh flowers at least once more. I have a knack for forgetting to subscribe so I will be doing that now! 🖤🎄🌹✨

    Bless you sweet soul 🥹💔 I lost my dad 5 years ago and it’s so hard at this time of year especially , we used to go Xmas shopping together and watch Xmas films while I wrapped them, I really miss that, I almost cried with you when you got teary, it’s so hard around this time of year when everyone’s getting together with family and the one person you want to spend it with is gone, so I fully get you, sending you lots of love for this Yule especially, her ancestor altar is such a beautiful idea! I never even thought of it that way for recently passed loved ones, that they’re now part of our ancestors! I also have my own Lord of Misrule 😂 Floki the feral dog that loves to open everyone’s gifts and thinks that every gift is for him and that every Amazon parcel that arrives contains treats for him (tbf to him most of them do 😂) but he is mostly a furry wrecking ball! I also have a garden with apple trees that I keep meaning to Wassail, so after your inspiration I think this is the year that I begin that tradition so thank you so much for sharing your recipe 🥰❤️❤️ I hope you have a wonderful and very blessed Yule ❤❤❤❤

    • @valentinebardot
      @valentinebardot  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Oh thank you my friend 🙏🏻. I am so sorry for your loss. 🤍. It’s those traditions that are so painful and hard isn’t it? I send you love right back. I think so many of us hear that it goes away with time, or we heal on up, but I think that missing piece is always there. I’m trying to be ok with that as best as I can, and incorporate her in my practices with the holidays. It can be pretty brutal if I’m totally honest, but I really feel her with me more than if I didn’t. So if you do anything, I must in good conscience warn you, it can hurt, but it’s also been very healing. 🤍 I think we have a detached view of ancestors, at least I did! I don’t know why but I was just like you and never considered people who passed in my family as “ancestors” haha, but they’re probably are strongest ones! Haha oh Floki! What a beautiful name for a wild Lord! I love it! Please let me know if you end up making the Wassail! Blessed Yule my friend!

    Your tree is truly magical. Yule cat is too precious, and I agree, you can't stay mad at that sweet little face. My furbabies went bananas over him, especially my boy Kablooey 😂 he kept hopping at the tv every time he appeared on the screen. My Lunabella was sitting in front of the tv & kept pawing towards him. Too cute!
    When you talk about Momma Moon, I feel your loving energy, and I think of my mom, who passed a couple of years ago. I love how you honor her and your ancestors and keep those traditions that keep them close to your heart. I have never tried wassail, but i will be making it because it looks darn tasty & my hubbys mom is Italian-German decent, and I would love to make it for my hubby & her to celebrate their heritage as well. Happy Yule. 🙏🏼

    I used to make GluWein every year, and keep it going on the stove throughout the season to both scent the home and share with visitors. It has too much sugar in for me these days, so maybe a little wassail could become its replacement. Thank you for sharing your recipe 🎄✨️

      Hello my friend! Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m so glad you plan to make the Wassail, let me know how it turns out and if you like it!! I always use oils or herbs that hold the properties of what I’m working on, so sat protection, I would use cinnamon powder and a protection oil, maybe add some rosemary in there and a tiny pinch of salt. I would warm up my hands and put the intent into each ingredient. Lightly tap the oil onto the star ⭐️ where I feel called to, and then tap cinnamon on top of the spots while imbuing it with intention. You could tie the rosemary to it or also sprinkle it on.

    Blessed Yule! Normally I have to make Apple Cider for myself because I’m allergic to oranges, it my husband likes wassail. For my Yule tree I have oranges, pine cones, pine twig pentagram at the top and this year I added some natural wood snowflakes, deer, and owls. Plus I had to make two Yule logs. One to burn and one for decorations for my candle magic.

      Blessed Yule my friend! You can totally omit the oranges! If I were you, I’d omit all oranges and add either cranberry or pomegranate juice for that tart punch if you can, but you def don’t need orange juice 🤍.
      Oh my gosh pine cones and a twig pentagram on top are brilliant! I bet that’s stunning. I would love to incorporate some pinecone magic, thank you for sharing that. Someone else mentioned owls and woodland animals. That’s such a beautiful representation and connection to nature. Whaa! You made two Yule logs! You’re amazing! Def inspiring me to do more next year. 😂🤍 thank you for sharing your magical Yule with me

    Omg your little WN kitty is looking so gorgeous!!!!!! I love him 🐈‍⬛
    Your tree is stunning!!! You totally inspired me was it 1 or 2 years ago to also use orange slices and buy those beautiful led candles with the drop crystal weights, althougo my trees have definitely only been like 2-3 ft high . Having 3 kitties and limited space in my apartment, I cannot have too big a Christmas tree. Also! Be careful with baby’s breath and cats, I believe I read they are harmful to kitties 😢
    Also your house! Omg Valentine! It looks like such a gorgeous home and all your added touches are just so cozy , elegant and intriguing-great job! Only thing I need to see now, is you light a candle from yankee or whatever, as you got me heavily into them when I first found your channel.
    And lastly, thank you for sharing those special moments you have with momma moon- I was totally giggling with the image of how excited your mom would get when wassail time was coming 😂 I actually need to try and make this, as I absolutely go crazy for anything ginger -so much that any soups I make I replace the onions with ginger .
    So happy you’re posting these videos again, you are such a comfort to watch and listen to 🐾🐈‍⬛🖤 🌚

      I think he’s doing better, we upped his medicine and he seems to be more active so fingers crossed his blood sugar levels have gone down some.
      Yess! The led candles and orange slices are everything! I’m so glad you are enjoying everything. I love 2-3 foot trees! My first tree was actually a hot pink 2 foot tree if you can even imagine that 🤣. Thank you for letting me know about babies breath!’
      Thank you! I’ve been trying to make it feel homey since it’s so different than our old place, but I’m starting to really feel comfy here. 🤍🤍haha! I love that you’re so OG you remember the candles! I actually lit one the other day and thought oh no! I forgot to do that on my channel!! Haha.
      Oh my gosh Cynthia you will love this then I think, please let me know what you think when you make it! And thank you for always supporting my reminiscing of my mom 🤍. You’re such a great friend. Thank you 🙏🏻

    I have never heard of Wassail. My family is from Frankfurt, and I currently live in Bavaria, and here, I have not heard it either. We drink "Eier Likor, Glühwein" for the most part. I even asked my husband, who also had never heard of it, so I guess the question is, what part of Deutschland is your family from? And also, nice video. Happy Yule!!!!

    • @valentinebardot
      @valentinebardot  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I believe it’s a British tradition, where wassailing would be going around caroling to get mulled spiked drinks, including Wales with Mari Lwyd wassailing, It’s become a tradition for me and my German family (also my Hispanic family such as my mom). I edited a huge part of the video where I go in depth about it because I didn’t want to put out easily searched info on where I grew up due to privacy reasons and I talk so much it added 10 min to the video 😂! Sorry that my editing made it sound like I was saying it’s direct from Germany, I tried to make it being a family thing my Caucasian side does, my apologies 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. I am so glad you enjoyed the rest of the video!! Happy Yule and happy New Year 🎈 my family also busts out the Glühwein
