Is it just me or do all the Sabbats come with the idea of cleaning up your messy home? I wonder if our ancestors also had troubles getting motivated for laundry, dusting and cleaning the dishes^^
I'm re-watching this in 2024! Hope all is well with you & yours Bex? XXX Beltane blessings to all. Wishing peace & health to all man & beast on our precious planet Earth. 🔥💜💜💜🔥
I love that you always include a brief history lesson about anything you cover in your vlogs. I use to spend ages studying lore and history before the Internet. So glad you posted today. 🥰🌈☕️
I've been a witch for 5 years but this is the first time that I'll get to celebrate Walpurgisnacht and Beltane with friends outdoors - covid ruined it for me twice :( I'm so excited! 🥰 thank you so much for the lovely ideas, happy Beltane 💖🌾🐞
I grew up in the Markgräflerland, and your videos about local customs always bring me such joy (with just a twinge of homesickness). I shall definitely try out this cake recipe. It sounds fantastic!
Happy Beltane! Thank you for these wonderful suggestions! I've never celebrated Beltane and this will be my first year to do so. I'm very very excited!
Getting in the habit of commenting on your posts so you see me and know how much your time and content means to me! Sending big love from Palmer Massachusetts! ✨✨✨
One of the best things about your videos is that you combine information with a lot of charm and fun, plus we get to see your precious son. We recently moved from our own house in the southern US where multitudes of small wildflowers grow to a large apartment building in a northern state, and it's hard for me to get out into nature. (Mobility problems in my old age.) It would have never occurred to me to put spinach into a cake, but I have to try this recipe! Much love from Minnesota!
Oh my goodness you are so genuinely cheerful, I can feel the warmth radiating through my phone screen 😊❤! I'm so glad I found your video, you made my day
I’m on my way of exploring paganism, Wiccan, and other similar branches of beliefs. I love learning about it and I’m looking for something that resonates with me. My uncle considers himself a witch and over the weekend I got to go out and celebrate Beltane with him and his friends on a camping trip! It was such a lovely time, I’ve never done anything like it. We sent out an offering that included blood, sweat, and tears into the water, and afterwards we danced around the maypole. Such a lovely experience, they’re a group of nice people each differing in beliefs and practices slightly but coming together to celebrate mayday in all its beauty. Thank you for sharing this with us! I hope you had a lovely Beltane
I'm always happy to watch your videos^^ it's my first year as a witch and I've finally been to the bonfire night near where I live. It's a festival for the Patroness of the city, an apparition of the Virgin Mary (being in Italy it has a Christian significance), but it's very similar. Here the bonfires are called "focaracci"🌞
Hi there Bex lovely vidio once again, wishing you a lovely Beltane and all the very best for your witchy retreat ,I would have loved to be there. Hopefully I can come to one in the future ! take care and have a wonderful day
Hey lovely!! I got your email but didn't have time to respond yet but looooove the idea! I shall be in touch after all the retreat crazyness ❤️❤️ sending much love and have a wonderful Beltane
@@Thewitchescookery No problems at all.. I had guessed so, you must be getting a bit jittery but I am sure everything will go well !! Just enjoy it. It sounds like it will be so much fun . As I said wishing you all the very best take care and we will chat when you get the time no stress at all 💕⭐
I really loved your beautiful video and your important information. I really love the positivity you have. You are funny. Thank you so much for that. 😁😁💐💐
Happy Beltaine . It's going to be good. No matter what you call it we celebrate our Mother of the May. People in Britain and Ireland go to bless the well.
I’m Finnish and we celebrate alot of pagan holidays! I’d love to learn more about them, because they’ve been ”christianized” so you rarely hear the true history and meaning of the celebrations. We acknowledge/celebrate Walpurgisnacht, yule (Jul/Joulu), Spring and Autumn equinox, Midsummer, winter solstice and All Hallows Eve. Really interesting!
it came out an absolute mess hahaha as all my crafting projects usually do, but it looked very cute on Pinterest, so apparently it can be done nicely xD
Mijn geboortenummer is 356, geboren op 3/5/'60 - de laatste dag van de Floraliën in het oude Rome ... dat er 365 dagen in een jaar zijn (met om de vier jaar een bijstellen door er een schrikkeldag aan toe te voegen) wist men als in de tijd van Julius Caesar - de Juliaanse kalender is een pareltje als het over praktisch en intelligent gaat, maar daar denken de meeste mensen niet aan en het was slim om met feestdagen te werken (want dat onthoudt men dan weer wel). Bij het onderwerp Beltane (Wikipedia) vond ik het feestdagenrooster, weer zo'n snoepje voor de leerkracht in mij en dan zie je een achtpuntige ster, die met Venus geassocieerd wordt, Beltane's counterpart is Samhain en dat is op 1 november. We leren dat, waarvoor we beloond worden en bestraffen is alleen bedoeld om de mensen klein en bang te maken, het is dus op z'n minst RAAR dat men mij nu juist ging bestraffen voor zaken, die ik GOED deed en daarom heb ik ervoor gezorgd dat er een digitale versie van mezelf is onder de naam: Isabella Kiebooms. Het was een heel gepuzzel om het kaf van het koren te scheiden en de staf van de beloning, maar het internet heeft me gered en mijn praktische intelligentie deed de rest - nu is het wachten op Het Perfecte Verhaal, een boek waar niet alleen ik, maar ook mijn VRIENDEN hun bijdrage aan geleverd heb - van amen naar SAMEN (en voor minder moet je het niet doen!).
Thank you your videos have been amazing in helping me stay focused, still feel like myself while I heal while I'm incredibly sick and recovery I enjoy how bubble you are you bring me smiles . Thank you for being you 🌸🏵 Happy beltain
My Goodness where u live is absolutely gorgeous I would love to live there I absolutely love your videos and they way you explain things and they way you cook Your a Beautiful Soul Bex and a great Mom!! And ty for making me Smile and laugh !!!Merry Beltane much love and light
Thank you - I do enjoy the surroundings very much - even though I wish I was just a biiit closer to a city sometimes 😅 thank you so much for this super sweet comment ❤️ sending much love and wishing you a wonderful Beltan
Very intersting video. Thank you very much! When i was younger, we would always go to very old burial mounds near the small village where i grew up, on Beltane and Samhain by night. One of them was always decorated and it was told, that a seer was burried there. We always expierinced something strange, from candles that went out and lit themselfs again, to small wounds no one could explain .One time we met 3 older women on Baltane, which were visiting these graves by night. I can tell you, if you grew up in a small bavarian village you start believing in the old gods xD
Oh I love to hear that haha everyone always says how much he looks like his dad 😂 but he definitely shares my personality and passions 😄 have a magical Beltane!
Das mit dem Baldrian wusste ich noch nicht... Ich bin allergisch gegen Baldrian (kriege starke Kopfschmerzen von Baldriantee). Ha, ha, jetzt weiß ich, wieso! Und einen Osterbrunnen habe ich kürzlich bei uns auch gesehen (in der Nähe von Heidelberg). Happy Beltane!
I like spinach, I love lemon cake... I cannot imagine the 2 working together in something sweet... but I'm gonna try it! Every year on MayDay morning we wash our face in the dew (in reality dabbing whatever dew we get on our hands onto our faces) and bring greenery from the garden into the house, it was something my grandmother did, and I just thought it was a delightful silly tradition to continue. We joke that we should be jumping naked over a bonfire, but when we have a bonfire it is done in a 2feet high metal tub, there is no way to jump over it! besides, no one needs to see this jumping around naked 🤣 I'm not a Witch, I'm a (Catholic and a) Celt, and just a few years ago started to learn about the Celtic festivals, I'm really surprised that Walpurgisnacht is a saint's day! (and one from Devon! My great great (or something) grandparents came from there) I've only ever seen it mentioned in articles and videos about German Witches/Wiccans/Pagans, and for some reason I thought it meant "witches night", even though I knew witch in German is Hexe (There is a, errr, village near me called Hextable, and I was secretly hoping it was something to do with witches but apparently it means High up or Hedge or Hawthorn boundary🤷🏻♀) Brilliant video. I can feel a binge watch of your channel coming on 😁 Happy Beltane!
Ohhh very interesting to hear all these facts I dind't know about 😃 some years ago in the Mainacht there was a construction site close to my parents house and in the morning all the movable road signs and barriers were wonderfully decorated in front of our front door 🤣🤣 My dad had to carry them all down to the site again 😅
Lmaooo the mating call part at 1:40 😂🤣😂 You ALWAYS make me laugh completely unexpectedly it’s amazing! I love how funny you are without even trying 😂🤣🥰🥰💖
So Interesting! On my birthday "St. Kateri Tekakwitha" passed away (it was Holy Wednesday). April 17th is celebrated as her feast day. Kateri Tekakwitha is popularly known as the patroness saint of Native American and First Nations Peoples, integral ecology, and the environment. I often wonder of her origin, as many just saw her as a figure to convert natives! Either way, I love what she stands for. This year it coincided with Easter, learning now of Beltane makes me even more excited about the magic of spring! That cake looks so yummy i will have to try it out!! Happy Beltane, it was cloudy all morning but now theres a break in the clouds so im gonna go enjoy it!
This is absolutely fascinating! Thank you so much for sharing - I had never heard of her but will definitely read up on this now ❤️ also, a happy belated birthday to you! Have a wonderful Beltane ✨
And to you!! So happy you found some new info in here :) And yeeees - visit Germany! Maybe even the second Wicked Walpurgisnacht Retreat? hihi much love
So many recipes, so little time. Another one for the list. 😁 Love your videos as always and always glad for some inspiration and history. Fuelling some writing I'm doing.
@@Thewitchescookery I'm doing some creative writing and trying to get a better understanding of the traditions and some practices I want to weave into the story.
Thanks Bex for another wonderful video. I really needed it. My apartment had a fire and I lost All of my witchy things and everything else. I hope you have a blessed Beltane xoxox
Nooooooo!!!! How absolutely devastating that must be 😵 I feel so sorry for you ❤️ I hope nobody was harmed and that you at least get the monetary value back, even though of course losing your belongings is irreplaceable with things that have a sentimental value. Sending much love and hope you are doing as okay as you can, considering the circumstances
@@Thewitchescookery thanks so much Bex. No one was hurt. We didn’t have renters insurance, but my friend started a gofundme and raised some money. The building will fix the apartment. But it will take time. Right now everyone is safe at least. Thanks so much sweetheart. ❤️
Oh no! 😔 I'm so sorry you're going thru this! It's heartbreaking to lose all those things that you've collected over time! It's not just monetary it's also very personal! I wish you love light and blessings! I hope you get back in your feet quickly!
I'm a new pagan myself, not yet sure what path I wish to follow. Thank you so much for this video, really helped me with knowing how to enjoy this holiday! (I really want to follow finnish pagan religion, but I'm not sure how it works out yet)
Weißt du auch, dass Walpurga am Ende auf dem Scheiterhaufen verbrannt wurde? Ich finde dich übrigens klasse. Tauschst du dich auch so aus? Ich habe nur meine 2 Weiber aber wir halten die Traditionen hoch.
Hello I really love your beautiful ideas for Beltane it’s very helpful and I love your beautiful spring cake lemon and spinach with white chocolate ganache and colorful flowers on top it’s a beautiful and delicious Combination for Beltane and I am going to the garden parade I’m I am going to create my beautiful faery witch makeover altar for spells, practice, crafting also flowers, candles and crystals also collected nature’s I love the enchanted forest and cottagecore I respect nature and protect also the fairies that I love so much magic I believe them so you’re videos really inspired me thank you so much 🧚♀️🧚🧚♂️🧝♀️🧝🧝♂️🌹🌻🌷🌼🌸🌺🌾🍄🍁🍂🍃☘️🍀🌿🌱🪵🌳🌲🐿🦔🐇🦋
Thank you so much 💖 absolutely love the idea of a fairy altar!! Do you know Alwyn Oak on TH-cam? If not, you must check her out because you will absolutely adore her forest witchery and fairy content! Sending much love ✨💐
When is that baby due? U must be so excited to meet the little one! I think it’s awesome how u keep your energy up even while at the end of a pregnancy. U rock!
Sooooon - I can't wait! So over feeling like a 🐳 haha and my energy is definitely declining by the day 😅 I roll from couch to bed to desk and back most days
@@Thewitchescookery lol, probably having a hard time moving at all at this point, I’m sure. But u do look amazing! I’m gonna send my good energy your way for the delivery and wish u all the happiness in the world. U will soon have a new one to share the beauty of the craft with! Im jelly. U can ship one of them to me if they get on ur nerves. Lol!
I will be jumping a fire this Beltane. Last year the weather was so gnarly that everything was done indoors and we hopped over a lit candle instead of jumping over a fire. Either way it worked.
Is it just me or do all the Sabbats come with the idea of cleaning up your messy home? I wonder if our ancestors also had troubles getting motivated for laundry, dusting and cleaning the dishes^^
More spiritual clean out.
I'm re-watching this in 2024! Hope all is well with you & yours Bex? XXX Beltane blessings to all. Wishing peace & health to all man & beast on our precious planet Earth. 🔥💜💜💜🔥

So glad you appreciate the history too - I always find it fascinating to dig into those topics ☺️✨ have a wonderful Beltane / Walpurgis!
@@Thewitchescookery Hello from Ireland, Our festival is called Bealtine, not Baltane its kinda upsetting to have our festival disrespected.

A lovely Beltane to you all!
Happy Beltane! Your little guy must be getting ready to come out and play. Best wishes.
Happy Walpurgis!! And yeeeees - I am soooo ready to burst hahah but still have to keep the legs closed until after the retreat xD

I laughed so hard at the seasonal allergies in the beginning and the matting call! 😂😂
Haha they are no joke though 🤣 makes editing so annoying when half of the video I am sniffling and making weird guttural angry cat sounds

Thanks Bex for another wonderful video. I really needed it. My apartment had a fire and I lost All of my witchy things and everything else. I hope you have a blessed Beltane xoxox
Nooooooo!!!! How absolutely devastating that must be 😵 I feel so sorry for you ❤️ I hope nobody was harmed and that you at least get the monetary value back, even though of course losing your belongings is irreplaceable with things that have a sentimental value. Sending much love and hope you are doing as okay as you can, considering the circumstances
@@Thewitchescookery thanks so much Bex. No one was hurt. We didn’t have renters insurance, but my friend started a gofundme and raised some money. The building will fix the apartment. But it will take time. Right now everyone is safe at least. Thanks so much sweetheart. ❤️
Oh no! 😔 I'm so sorry you're going thru this! It's heartbreaking to lose all those things that you've collected over time! It's not just monetary it's also very personal! I wish you love light and blessings! I hope you get back in your feet quickly!
@@nyxspiritsong5557 thank you so much Nyx. I appreciate your kind words 💕 sending you love back and many blessings
My birthday is the 30th of April so its really lovely to learn more about Beltane
Oh what a lovely coincidence! I hope you have a fun celebration - with a bit of Beltane magick too ☺️💐❤️
I'm a new pagan myself, not yet sure what path I wish to follow.
Thank you so much for this video, really helped me with knowing how to enjoy this holiday!
(I really want to follow finnish pagan religion, but I'm not sure how it works out yet)
So happy it helped! Norse mythology and paganism definitely is interesting - I wish you many fun discoveries on your path ☺️✨
Black Dragon Tavern does mythology/history videos and he took a dive into some of the Finnish legends so that might be a good place to start?
Weißt du auch, dass Walpurga am Ende auf dem Scheiterhaufen verbrannt wurde? Ich finde dich übrigens klasse. Tauschst du dich auch so aus? Ich habe nur meine 2 Weiber aber wir halten die Traditionen hoch.
I hope you all have a wonderful time on the retreat!
Thank you so much! Can't wait for it 💃✨

U can ship one of them to me if they get on ur nerves. Lol!
I will be jumping a fire this Beltane. Last year the weather was so gnarly that everything was done indoors and we hopped over a lit candle instead of jumping over a fire. Either way it worked.
Hihihi well, it is the intention that counts!! Love that. I might jump over a candle too - don't trust my balance at the moment 😄✨🔥
