Just so happened I have a mustard yellow sweater. And it’s the only yellow thing I own! Amazing I have an outfit ready and everything, I’ll set my alarm a bit earlier so I can convince my dad to make me French toast so I can have at least something bread. Blessed Lammas everyone!
The corn husk dolls came out so beautifully, as well as the braided bread and your handmade sunflower seed oil. It's great that you make so many things from scratch and always put your heart into it. The saffron yellow dress and cloak are also so cheering. Your blessings poem is a wonderful way to honor the elements of Nature. Beautiful and heartfelt words. Thank you! 🌻💛✴️
Loved this video. Your music pulls at the heart strings. The baking and crafts in this video is a wonderful way to celebrate Lammas by using what truly is harvested from the earth. Thank you!
I'm playing catch up watching all your videos as iv only just discovered you alwyn....this is one of my favourites ....once again full of mother earth's wonderfulness....and your fairy magical ways..blessed be you beautiful fairy princess....xxx
I love this. I want to make a bit of a note on the corn husk dolls, something I do make as well for both wicca as well as tradition. I love that you included them, but I wanted to add their history. The dolls actually originate from native american tribes, the cherokee(I'm Eastern Band Cherokee/Tsalagi) are most known for them and we still make them today, but I know other tribes make them as well. They are made for children to play with, and we have a legend about cornhusk doll having been made to by the creator after corn longed to play with children, only later to have her (cornhusk doll) face taken due to getting distracted by their beauty and not making it to the village to play. Colonies later took the idea and also began making them as well, and when corn was taken back to Europe it spread there to create new traditions and legends. I make them and honor both of my traditions.
I love your guileless gentle enthusiasm And, the heartfelt simplicity of symbols and emulation with which you present the featured activities and items. 💚🐛🌻💛
I like the corn dolls the most. When I was 13yrso. I picked a ceramic shaped like a girl corn doll. I painted, glazed, & fired it. I was so proud that I had it done & ready to give it to my great great grandmother. I'm glad that we can decorate the corn dolls. I'm looking forward to making them.
I am watching all of your videos one by one and I love all of them! Not only are they magical and full of love, but something about your voice just makes me feel calm and peaceful all over. I am glad you are here and I look forward to more videos!
Thank You LadY AlweN 🧚🏼♀️ThiS video iS sO inviting, refreshing and createD such warmth. 🌞 I was thinking the whole way through of asking what is the lovely music 🎼 🎵 🎶 playing in the background? 😊 WoulD L💗VE to see mor videos like thiS for all the Sabbaths absolutely fantastical and magical.🌾🍞🥖🌻🦁🌜🌕🌛ThanK YoU!💕💗💖😊Be BlesseD...
Hello Alwyn your Lammas offering is Magickal 🌻 Inspirational and respectful for mother earth 🍀🌍 Love your little fairy' s antics🧚♀️ and the corn dollies are gorgeous ...they were also called spirit cages depicting the spirit of the corn....and had to tempted back to the field, after harvest this was in recent centuries documented customs that a couple would make love in the field shorn of corn to enact the regeneration of the crops ...The mysterious but potent corn spirit was lured into and captured by the woven corn dollies that feature at the festival also known as 'spirit cages '.....Blessed Lammas xxx🍞
Where do I begin?!? 🙀 I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more beautiful video, every aspect was stunning. I cannot stress enough how in awe I am. Absolute perfection. The colors, plants, crafts, clothing and food… Thank you for sharing your artistry. And your humor. 🧚♀️ A true masterpiece. 🌻🌾☀️💛
Mmm, bread... I'm also going to be doing that lol. And corn on the cob, and some other interesting stuff. Any ideas for a sweet? I'd considered doing an apple pie but I usually save that for Mabon.
A lovely video arwyn..I liked the corn dolls ! Yours were awesome.but can you imagine how intricate they must have been 1000yrs ago..pre Netflix?.🤭blessings to you arwyn.?take care.💚🧚♀️🌿🐢🌳🌳🦉🐈
haha yes!! I have also looked into making things from wheat.. now THAT looks so intricate i wouldn't know where to start with that one!! Have a wonderful week
I LOVED this video!! Pretty much everything about it! Thank you for opening up and sharing your beautiful journal too! I loved the corn dolls, your alter ideas, the bread, the grilled vegetables, and I LOVED the chant! I know we have a few more weeks till Lammas this year but this is good to think about and prepare for! 🐝🌻🌞🌽🌾🧡💛
HALLO, I MADE MY FIRST CORN DOLLS FOR LLAMAS, HANDFASTING. THEIR HAIR ARE FROM CORN "HAIR". I PLACED THEM ON ALTAR, LOVELY! YOUR VIDEOS ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION.... 😍😍
Blessed Lammas/Lughnasadh greetings my high priestess enchanted one 😊 I went out to the golden fields of barleycorn yesterday evening for marking our coming sacred Sabbat this Sunday. I may not get the chance then or after and as you know, taking full advantage of the glorious weather in the UK is a must as we just don't know when Goddess Nature shall decide to be moody 😂 wish I could share my magical photos and experience but like all important people both of our human vessels as well as our Spiritual souls, you were with me in thought and love with my ritual performed amongst those breathtaking golden and green hills. Your video as ever will inspire one or two activities myself and my daughter can work with in the home nearer to Lammas/Lughnasadh. As always, I appreciate, value and love you and what you provide. Blessed Be to you and yours 💚🧡❤️
Love the corn dolls, I would not have the patience to make them. Sunflowers are my favorite flower and I want them at my funeral!!!!! plastic ones if it is winter. All my family and friends know that sunflowers are my thing, Poppies come second. Your dress was wonderful, you looked beautiful. Thanks for the video. Bright Blessings to you.
Hi dearest Deirdre, thankyou so much!! So glad you enjoyed the video and thankyou glad you liked my dress! You'd be suprised with how easy the corn dollies were to make too!!! And yes sunflowers they are amazing!!! I hear you! 🌞🌞🌞 Have a blessed Lammas xxx
I've been holding off watching this one until it was time for Lughnasadh. What a beautiful celebration. I love your corn dollies, the sunflower loaf, and your lovely chant!
I was never into the celebration of Lammas, until now. So well explain. Ironically I do things during the aug season because I’m a Leo. So I start celebrating with feast from my garden to friends and shedding the past into joy. A time of self reflection and gratitude to be bless with such bounty. Thank you. Beautifully done.
😂 Ohh the poor fairy getting veg put on her in the basket. Haha. I had a good giggle when she said "oi!" Thank you for all the wonderful ideas Alwyn. I will definately be baking some bread and giving thanks with a little ritual I think. Blessings to you 🧙♀️🧚🏼♀️
This is my first Lammas, I'm so excited to enjoy this witch holiday, and when it's one week away, I'm going to start my preparations, decorating my room and altar, and doing research for my book of Shadows. Just wondering, how could I celebrate Lammas in the broom closet? Thanks for this amazing video for my first Lammas and second Sabbat 💜
Hi my love there are LOADS of ways! Wearing a particular colour, painting your nails, lighting candles (doesn't matter on the colour) and doing a mini ritual if you'd like! Going for a walk, spending time in the sun! The list is endless! Enjoy your lammas my love 🌽✨🌾☀️💚🌞
@@irisvanderhoorn8017 yeah, pretty much, a broom closet witch is a witch who hasn't told anyone who isn't a witch (or anyone for that matter) that they practice witchcraft. This could be for many reasons but mostly bc ppl may be afraid of discrimination or stereotypical hate from ppl saying Witches worship Satan or must be burned
Do you know how to cook/bake/etc? Sorry if I come off as insulting, I don't mean to. The reason I'm asking is because of what I did while sort of in the broom closet: I did the cooking for everyone at mom's house (where I was living at the time). To them, I was cooking on that day because I wanted to do something nice for everyone and give my mom a break. To me, I was cooking the Lughnasadh feast. I prayed over the ingredients and later the finished food in my head, because I knew my family wouldn't appreciate hearing it. I had the kitchen to myself for most of that day and most of my attention to what I was doing as well; that's how it's been for generations: During the cooking process, someone was in there who wasn't involved in it, they got saddled with the clean up lol. Or if you prefer to not work in the kitchen, you could gather natural materials (or store-bought fake ones if anyone has allergies or athsma) and make decor pieces for the rest of the house so long as everyone else is alright with it, though you may be expected to clean around those items while they're up. As for the style if you decide to do that, go for something less "witchy" and more natural, and use the excuse that everything outside's so pretty but it's too hot to either open windows or be outside too long lol. Luckily most other holidays have some form of related inclement weather or allergens that tend to happen around their respective times of year, and many mainstream religious holidays are so witchy I was so tickled when I first learned I could throw myself into Yule and Ostara wholeheartedly because my family goes nuts over Christmas and Easter anyways, I just had to remember to keep the chants and rituals to my bedroom lol. As for how I was "sort of" in the broom closet, my family knew and were alright with my religion, but didn't want to see or hear any of it. So long as it stayed in my room, they didn't care. I know not everyone has the freedom I had, and considering I don't know your situation, I wanted to let you know the point of view I was coming from with those suggestions.
@@EmilyMonths If you bake and cooke, than bake (or just buy and eat) as much grain products as posibble. Think making pancakes for breakfest. And a quiche or corn for dinner. And for snacks you can eat popcorn, cake or cookies. In your head you can thank the earth for the grain. And appreciate it while cooking/eating. Put on some warm toned clothes, write 'to the earth' about how grateful you are. Tell your parents that you are going to a place that is 'normal' to them.

Beautiful Alwyn thank you.I too have sunflowers in my garden. I have never seen the husks used to make the dollys before. Last year I made my dolly from lavender. I burnt the previous years dolly but perhaps burying feels better. Trying to pass on the wheel of the year celebrations when not in my immediate family and friendship circle and picking up from others like yourself to pass on to my young son feels challenging so love seeing others sharing. My young son trying to teach him the cycle of birth death and rebirth he loves the dollys so likes to keep them. Blessings to you for Lammas and thank you for the wonderful creative share xx
Spirits living in the meadow, spirits in the corn. The green man is alive this Midsummer morn. As grain begin to ripen, nature bears fruit. Summer draws to a end , dreams take root. trees whisper secrets, powerful times to be. Cycles move was and wayne , they shall share all with me. air to fire, fire to water, water to earth and earth to air. Elements feed the spirit,as the harvest moon glows. At Lammas, thid day and night, witness nature’s might. Growing full And better tidings all. In naturae celebration preparing for darkness of fall. Now slowing down I mark this day. Protect my hearth, with the abundance of grain. The blessings of the all come again.
I make these dolls every year at Samhain. I save the leaves and dry them now. It’s so beautiful that no matter where we live the seasons and harvests guide the way. I have to make my own sunflower seed oil. I adore this task but sadly have never experienced this simple task. It’s now on my to do list. Thanks for your inspiration fellow Magick one. Blessed Lughnasadh. The end is truly special. Watch to the end all!
🌻🌞✨💛 Wow💛✨this is my first Lammas!! My favorite flower is Sunflowers!! I loved everything about this video and learned a lot. Your dress is beautiful!!💛your chant was amazing!!!✨💛🌻🌞Thank you Alwyn🥰
Hi steph my love thankyou so much I'm glad you enjoyed it! Lammas and the harvest sabbaths are SO FUN!!! I can't wait until you hear about the rest! Enjoy and blessed Lammas also 😊🌾🌞🌽☀️💚✨
My favorite was the clips of the sunflowers and the making of the dolls you really really really inspired me to grow sunflowers and make dolls "all my love," Hanre
Hi Alwyn,One I missed,while back.So loved the respect in showing gratitude in so many ways,All areas,not missing anything.Creations are there to appreciate and use.How starting w/simple things,ending up w/beautiful masterpieces.My Mother used to make “21 ingredients homemade bread 🍞 Lots of nuts 🌰 and seeds and fruits 🍎 Like a meal in one slice,very hearty 😋Your braided bread,looked tantalizing,Love shop locally 🥰
Alwyn after a stressful day you really do bring sunshine 🌞 into so many people's lives Your corn dollies are just brilliant I love the idea of the sunflower bread 🌻 sending my warmest blessings to you.
You are so creative, I got sunflower 🌻 on my alter , I did not get a corn dolly or make one but I will do next year. I don’t live near any where I can buy corn like that. I shall make the sunflower oil though. Much food for thought. Happy Lammas and blessings 💖🐩🐩💖🌻🌻🌻🌻🌼🌼🌾🌾🧙🏻♀️🌛🌕🌜🕊🌈
Hi Alwyn. Your videos are always packed with ideas and information, as well as being visually beautiful. You inspire me to create things and connect more deeply with the land and river where I live. I used your chant as part of my Lughnasadh celebration. Thank you for sharing your world with us. Blessings of the Season to you. xx
Beautiful video, i always look forward to every new video you do, have watched all of them , they make me feel so calm and relaxed, i hope you never stop making them, you are so creative and talented, thankyou Alwyn for all you do x
I love your videos! This was so beautiful. I hope to find a bread recipe I can use as I am allergic to all sunflower. Perhaps oat bread or a zucchini quick bread will work for me. The Dollies are precious. Your soft and kind manner is delightful. Thank you!
Wonderful video, full of marvelous detail! The sunflowers reminded me of a book I have about harvesting seeds which I didn't explore yet and enjoy so much now...Will put some wild spicy seeds in my lammas bread this year.
@@AlwynOak absolutely!💗I do wish that I could come across other souls such as you in real life to physically enjoy and share the spiritual essence and wheel of the year. You do a fantastic job! It feels so natural to tune into that beautiful energy with the seasons and magic that it brings. Love and light💓
I liked your corn husk dolls bases as my sweetcorn is growing still in my garden so will use the husks for that! I was wondering what else I could use them for other than a natural parchment 🌽🌻 Lughnasadh blessings to you Holly 😊🌻🌻🌻
Omg it was delicious highly reccomend!! I did mine even easier and didn't do a pie crust at the bottom. Rhubarb is just the best!! Have a blessed day! Lots of love ✨☀️🌽🌞🌾💚🌾🌽☀️✨

Poppies would be more appropriate for any funeral. But yes, I also love poppies and sunflowers.

The faerie is so cute.
A lovely Lammas celebration, lots of lovely ideas and the foods of the Earth are the best, thankyou Alwyn.
Awww Alwyn, your videos are so beautiful. I so enjoy watching them, and seeing your drawings in your book of shadows.
Love 🧡
I sigh in every minute of the video, pure magic inhabits your being and I thank you for making my life happy with your wonderful channel!!!🌿🌹🍀
I like your chant.
Spirits living in the meadow, spirits in the corn.

As grain begin to ripen, nature bears fruit.
Summer draws to a end , dreams take root.

Oh how wonderful thanks for sharing this creation an xtra plus after Alwyns vid
Sheer beauty! That bread is a work of art. Thank you always.
Aww thanks Kathleen!!! It was very tasty!
I saw little squashes in the grocery store and practically jumped for joy. I guess Lammas represents that feeling of happiness
Omg absolutely!!! The colours of lammas are actually colours that help us to be happy!!! Lots of love to you this lammas
Todo lo que creas en tus vídeos es realmente hermoso!!!🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🤗🤗🤗🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

This makes me so excited to learn how to celebrate all of the pagan holidays! You made me feel so inspired and joyful 🥰 happy Lammas
Oh this was simply perfection…. Now all I want is to dance around a fire wearing wheat crowns and chanting 😭🤍🔥
I make these dolls every year at Samhain. I save the leaves and dry them now. It’s so beautiful that no matter where we live the seasons and harvests guide the way. I have to make my own sunflower seed oil. I adore this task but sadly have never experienced this simple task. It’s now on my to do list. Thanks for your inspiration fellow Magick one. Blessed Lughnasadh. The end is truly special. Watch to the end all!

You are so creative, I got sunflower 🌻 on my alter , I did not get a corn dolly or make one but I will do next year. I don’t live near any where I can buy corn like that. I shall make the sunflower oil though. Much food for thought. Happy Lammas and blessings 💖🐩🐩💖🌻🌻🌻🌻🌼🌼🌾🌾🧙🏻♀️🌛🌕🌜🕊🌈
Oooh, that mustard yellow dress is gorgeous!! I love the color.
Beautifully done young lady from an older witch Happy Lammas all 💜
I knew nothing about Lammas until your video. What a wonderful holiday video you created. You continue to inspire me so much. 💚💚💚
Wonderful video, loved the corn dollies and your bread looks delicious. Lughnasadh Blessings 🌻
Thank you.
Enchanting as always! 🌞 you look lovely 💛 your chant gave me chills! Blessed Lammas! 🌾
Hi Alwyn. Your videos are always packed with ideas and information, as well as being visually beautiful. You inspire me to create things and connect more deeply with the land and river where I live. I used your chant as part of my Lughnasadh celebration. Thank you for sharing your world with us. Blessings of the Season to you. xx
Beautiful video, i always look forward to every new video you do, have watched all of them , they make me feel so calm and relaxed, i hope you never stop making them, you are so creative and talented, thankyou Alwyn for all you do x
Thank for showing how to make corn dollies. This was a beautiful video. Bless the teacher who shows us how.
I love your videos! This was so beautiful. I hope to find a bread recipe I can use as I am allergic to all sunflower. Perhaps oat bread or a zucchini quick bread will work for me. The Dollies are precious. Your soft and kind manner is delightful. Thank you!
The rhubarb pie looked amazing
Thankyou Jeannette!! It really was, and yet so easy to make
all my luv! Blessed Be! I would LOVE to have the beautiful chant that you used
Yes use it!! It was very powerful! Blessed lammas
Wonderful video, full of marvelous detail! The sunflowers reminded me of a book I have about harvesting seeds which I didn't explore yet and enjoy so much now...Will put some wild spicy seeds in my lammas bread this year.
🌻☀️💛love your filming layout & beauty!
Thankyou sweet!! I have come to appreciate filming in really cool angles hehe
@@AlwynOak absolutely!💗I do wish that I could come across other souls such as you in real life to physically enjoy and share the spiritual essence and wheel of the year. You do a fantastic job! It feels so natural to tune into that beautiful energy with the seasons and magic that it brings. Love and light💓
Thank you for sharing those beautiful creative ideas and activities to celebrate our earth’s bounty!❤️🤗❤️Sending big love your way!🧚❤️🤗
I liked your corn husk dolls bases as my sweetcorn is growing still in my garden so will use the husks for that! I was wondering what else I could use them for other than a natural parchment 🌽🌻 Lughnasadh blessings to you Holly 😊🌻🌻🌻
Did you write that blessing? I love it!
Easy rhubarb pie! I want to make this 😋 Thank you for sharing Alwyn~bright blessings for a lovely lughnasadh!!! ✨❤️🌽🍊🍓🌶🍞♥️✨
