Sacred Herbs for Samhain
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ต.ค. 2023
- The Sacred Herbs for Samhain that I am using this year are Rosemary, Mugwort, Wormwood and Rowan. As part of the celebrations I am making a Parshell Cross (a Samhain Cross) and will be preparing a feast. After carving a turnip I will add the turnip flesh to a hearty vegetable stew; make an Apple Pie and my favourite of all, Colcannon made with our own potatoes and our own kale. All recipes are below.
If you would like to know more about how I celebrate Samhain, consider joining me for the Samhain Festival on the Wise Woman Way training. This is a transpersonal course connecting us with the plants and Irish goddesses for healing and self development. More details here - www.danusirishherbgarden.com/...
I also teach an Introduction to Herbal Medicine which is a six months long, self-paced course. The course includes growing and working with plants and creating remedies. More information here - www.danusirishherbgarden.com/...
The Weed Handbooks are my two books that introduce you to the wild medicinal plants that can be found almost everywhere in the world. Regarded by many as unwanted, they are some of the most medicinal plants we could have. www.danusirishherbgarden.com/...
Thanks to Lol Hardiman for the lovely music and the filming and editing. You can hear more of Lol's music here on youtube - / @lolhardiman5247 and you can also find him at his website lolhardimanmusic.com/
For our Samhain celebrations I will be making a Jack O'Lantern by hollowing out a turnip and adding the flesh to a hearty, veggie stew. To make the stew, saute the onions and garlic, add diced turnip, carrots, parsnips and pour in some home made stock. After 15 minutes of simmering, add the potatoes and some herbs such as Thyme, Sage, Rosemary, salt and pepper. Alternatively put the stew mix into a pastry and make a pie, serve with Colcannon. To make the Colcannon, boil enough potatoes for everyone and when they are ready, drain, dry and mash with milk and butter until soft and creamy. While the potatoes are boiling, slice some kale and boil until tender, then drain. Add the kale to the mashed potato and mix well. Serve with knobs of butter on top of the potatoes when you serve the pie. You could make gravy for this if you wish. We follow this with Apple and Blackberry pie. With this menu, I am using the abundance of the root vegetables and the apple harvest with hedgerow fruits.
I was lucky enough to receive the red silken thread from Rita van der Kant-Klomp, author of the book "Ardeche Immortelle" - more information at

Thanks for watching! xx
Loved this video. There are so many theatrical videos out there these days on TH-cam. It was lovely to see something homegrown and authentic related to the beautiful season of Samhain
Couldn’t agree more!! ❤
Wow, thank you! I find it much easier to just be me, too much energy wasted if you try to be something else. Thank you xx
I love how so many cultures have a celebration for ones ancestor and acknowledging the dead, while also being gratitude over the harvest and such. Very fascinating and wonderful how all these festivals are connected. Thank you for sharing your traditions with us.
Glad you are interested xx
Terri, what a lovely purple poncho you have! Thank you for inspiring video about Celtic traditions and sharing your preparations and home spirit!
You are so welcome!

Sitting here in the early morning on the west coast of Canada. The most beautiful Taurus full moon is setting fresh off the eclipse and Jupiter has been beneath it all night!!! ❤ Thank you so much for sharing so many Samhain traditions that have slipped away. I am heartened to know how many I have now incorporated back into our lives here across the globe 🌎 ❤!!
Wonderful, thanks for telling me. Your eveni g sounds beautiful. Great clear skies xx
Last night I set my intentions to dedicate myself and be more diligent in my studies of tradition - to connect more with my Irish ancestry. I have also been struggling with what to focus on in my herb garden for the past two years. Today, I am suggested your video.
Looking forward to watching the rest of your channel's videos!
Blessings.
Wonderful! Synchronicities at such an auspicious time 😀
I began taking Terri 's herbal course for similar reasons. I am given a small garden to love and nurture and this summer have discovered many delicate plants growing throughout the yard. Danu reaches out to all her grandchildren! Happy Samain!
Terri. That's the most beautiful poncho I've ever seen, gorgeous colours ❤
I love it! I got it in Berlin last week when visiting my daughter xx

Thanks so much for this lovely video! I have been sorely missing my apple orchard and herb garden since I had to move, and this made me feel more connected, reminding me of the traditions I've let fall away. Hopefully, this will be a time for me to restart. Blessed Be. 🧚♀️

This was very interesting, Terri. Thank you for sharing your traditions. I hope you show a picture of your carved turnip. Enjoy your festivities!
I will! 😊
I’m celebrating my first Samhain with an alter for my grandpa since he passed away in September.
Sometimes it’s good to take a moment to relax from everyday life and with videos like these.
You have very heartwarming content I come to during Pagan holidays.
Happy Samhain 🎃🕯️
Sorry for your loss. Happy Samhain to you too xx

Happy new year! Enjoy the holidays xx
Dear Terri, thank you for another great video full of interesting info. I will be celebrating Samhain tomorrow evening with a fire in the garden , time to remember loved ones passed and those I did not meet x Peace and blessings to you at this special time 🌼 x
Blessings and peace to all xx
Just as you said it started to rain, it started persisting here in Plymouth 😊
Thanks for sharing more of the Samhain traditions with us. I have kale and collard greens ready to harvest, so can make the Colcannon with potatoes and turnips I already have. Love the cape you're wearing! It's lovely. Have a Blessed Samhain.
Thanks Tennessee Nana. A recent purchase. Have a great Samhain celebration
Thank you 🙏 Blessings to all 🙏❤️😊 Have a great week 😊
Same to you! Blessings xx
This year I planted many of the herbs (wormwood, soapwort, beach wood, etc.) that you used in creations. I’m so glad your showing us this information because frost is coming and I need to use what’s left this week before it goes into hibernation. 😊
A ha, yes, time is getting on!
Happy Samhain Terri and Lol. What an enjoyable and insightful walk in the gardens and cozy kitchen for protective cross making! There are many subscribers here who appreciate knowing (and following) The ways of our ancestors and the meanings behind the ancient traditions. Thank you both for your dedication and wisdom.
Very glad to hear that, thank you xx
For me, this is the epitome of a charmed life❤ thank you for sharing !
You are so welcome!
Happy Samhain to you and LoL too Terri time with family yes…Thankyou beautiful wishing love peace and happiness ❤️🌻☘️
Many Happy Returns and thanks xx
Good morning to you both. Thank you for a very interesting video,
The weave of the Parshal cross looks so strong bringing in good intentions. The mixture of herbs so many about. I prefer the old traditions of the Celts, it makes so much more sense than the plastic noisy products on sale in the stores. Hugs and Blessings to you both at this special time. 💚🌹
Many Happy Returns
🙏🌻😊
@Terri, I'm hoping you might have a pattern for that lovely poncho! Adore all your videos, and wardrobe! Fabulous!
Sorry no - I bought this when on holiday! xx
I absolutely love curly kale. Every Halloween my Mam would make it with mashed potatoes and chopped onions mixed together. She'd hide some coins wrapped in tin foil for a treat. The best comfort food, especially this time of year. It's delicious served with rashers and fried eggs.
Sounds great! Xx
Good morning!! So glad you had such a lovely visit with your daughter. My daughter was visiting in my home last weekend. Had not seen her for 4 years because of Covid. We had a freeze last night so not much left growing but I do have apple trees I can get a branch from. Thank you for passing on so much knowledge. Makes the special days mean so much more. Love the beauty of the day and flowers in your video too. Have an awesome day.
Wow 4 years!! You must be over the moon to have her home. Hope you have a lovely celebration xx
Have a lovely samhain and thank you for the wise words x
You are so welcome Elaine. Happy Samhain xx
Glad to see that you are well! Thank you for the information. Please take care!
Thanks, you too!
Thank you 🕊
We didn’t do the American Halloween thing this year, we went full boar Celt, no candy, no decorations the lights were off. Instead I made the traditional foods, mashed potatoes, roasted turnips, kale with lots of garlic. I also baked a Maple pumpkin bread. My husband and I had a bonfire in the back yard in our fire cauldron that has moons and stars carved into it. We sat under the stars had lovely drinks and a very good time. We talked about family and friends that had passed. We have two amazing apple trees so there were apple treats as well, thank you for that in depth information, this video was my inspiration!
Sounds like an incredible evening. Just wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it so much - what could be better? xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Absolutely!
I love your videos. They’re always so informative and inspirational. I also love seeing your animals and garden. You bring calm into my life so Thank You ❤
I'm so glad! Xx
Thank you for a wonderful video. Up in the north of Canada we can’t pick herbs anymore due to the cold but I dried lots over the summer which I can use during the winter months. Have a Happy and sacred Samhain 🖤💜🧡
Glad to hear you had a good harvest xx
Blessed Samhain Terri, Loll and family. Glad the trip to Berlin was safe and Happy. I celebrated in Costa Rica with a farm to table meal prepared by a very knowledgeable herbalist. Yes the bounty of the land and the gratitude for deep ancient souls who guide us daily seem the two pillars of the cross. I will use maple as Rowan is not here in Quebec. Thank you as always. The frost fairies have painted the garden. Time to start Module 4!
Thank you Terri for another great, informative, enjoyable, relaxing video. It’s so wonderful to hear about traditions in Ireland, so wonderful they are kept alive, thanks to people like you. Like the poncho.😉. Cheerful, happy colours.xx🥰
Happy holidays Oana, hope all well with you and yours xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden thank you! Yes, all good here, thank you. Looking forward to watching your video tomorrow.😉❤️xx

I wish we had a few of the trees that you have. However, they probably wouldn't survive here in Mexico.
Thank you so much broadening my horizons on Samhain. ❤
You are very welcome. Get to know the trees and shrubs that grow near to you xx
Happy Samhain! 💜
Same to you!
As always, this was beautiful and filled with ideas and new inspiration. I wish you and all your family a very Blessed Samhain. Thank you for the detailed instructions on making the cross too ! We have so much to be grateful for as we near the end of our harvest season and remember those who came before us. Much love to you, along with gratitude. 💜🕯🍎💜
Many Happy Returns and hope you have a lovely festival xx
Thank you Terri and Lol, be beautifully blessed and protected.

Always magical and precious hearing from you 💛 Thanks a lot for suggesting some powerful plants for this important approaching time of the year! Sending you and your beloved ones (and ancestors as well) my warmest best wishes 🎃 Take care, big hug from Italian alpine woods 🤗 Love and Light, Frances
Love and light to you and yours also xx
Dear Lady.....I have learned a lot with this video. A bunch of new stuff about Samhain that I didn't know about it. Thank you very much for teaching us all this amazing tradition. I live in the South Hemisphere, and we are in Beltane now but, I will take note of your words for when the time arrive. I wish you a happy celebration and a beautiful week ♥
You are so welcome! xx
As always, thanks so much for your videos and all the interesting information you share with us. Happy samhain🧡🍂🍁🎃🥮
Thank you! You too! Enjoy xx
Thank you again for a nice cozy Sunday video. I’m enjoying my coffee and breakfast cookie while watching. Best part of my week is starting off with your wisdom. Have a fun day Terri !
You are so welcome! Hope you are having a lovely day too xx
Thank you for sharing!! Adding Parshell crosses to our activities!!
Have fun! Xx
Thanks Danu for keeping these traditions alive.❤
My pleasure 😊
Thank you for this beautiful and instructive video. I have made a dream pillow with dried lavender and mugwort and will now make the parshall cross from the rowan. My heart makes a jump from all the harvest, the beetroots, carrots, Jerusalem artichoke, pumpkins and all kind of herbs for tea and tinctures. My kitchen of my farm is an exploded cosiness of meaningful life for which I give thanks every day. And thanks to you, I love your way of life and your stories and explanations. ❤
Sounds lovely - cosy and productive xx
Thank you for sharing all of this beautiful information with everyone 😊
You are so welcome!
Another cosy and interesting video, many thanks. I have heard of lots of love divination using apples but never the pips on the cheek. Noson Calan Gaeaf Hapus/ Happy Samhain from Wales x
Happy Samhain to you too xx
Another wonderful video! I appreciate the wisdom and knowledge that you share. Also, I love your poncho!
Thank you so much! X
I love all Lore for all the Sabats. I use mugwort in a tea that i use at night to help with sleep and dreaming. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoy it! X
Wonderful video! The information is always relevant and entertaining and the videography, especially in the rain is stunning. Thank you Terry and Lol. Happy to know everything is well there.
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it. All well here xx
Dearest friend and lady thank you so much for your guidance. I have and still learn so much from you its a blessing that is endless giving with love as I return it to you with a full heart. Namaste and may your Samhain be blessed and joyful.
Lots of love to you dear Cheryl xx
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Terri, ive always known about the Rowan Tree but learnt a lot today about other things. Thank you Lol for the beaut photography and music lovely way to wake up this am.
Glad it was helpful! Have a wonderful week and happy Bealtaine to you xx
Good evening nice to see you
The cross is lovely, reminds me a little of a 'god's eye' design. If you have a chance would you advise me what to do about a tree that will be cut down this winter? It is a huge, old and sickly elm. I have stood with my hands touching her and told her thank you...please let ALL your energy return to the earth as you go dormate for the winter...as it's soon time for your form to be taken down, but your energy is welcome and appreciated to stay here. Am I missing anything important to add to this? I have repeated it several times. Thanks so much for any help and enjoy your family celebration!
I think what you have done and said is beautiful, so thoughtful. Perhaps make a little offering of flower petals or oat flakes to the tree spirit to show your gratitude for all the joy she has brought over the years. She will now bring forth new forms of life as she rots into the soil; or perhaps she will warm you during next year's winter
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden yes, thanks so much!
Thank you for being you. Happy introspective Samhain.
Thank you too! Hope you enjoy this celebration, great time for introspection xx
I never knew about Saimhan. I grew up in the Church and was always taught that divination was bad and evil, bc it says so in the Bible, but I never knew what it actually was. You make it seem like a nice part of cultural celebrations. I didn’t even know where our modern fall traditions come from.
What a lovely poncho! 😍
Thank you Teri for this lovely video! A Blessed Samhain to you and yours 🎃 Sylvia
Same to you! Xx
Blessings~ 🕊
Blessings to you too xx
LOVELY
Hello Terri 💗
I’m so happy you share these traditions and history of Samhain.
Here in the US Halloween is mostly just another money making marketing opportunity = the children dress up in costumes and rush around collecting candy from house to house (trick or treat). I have been reading about the history / traditions and so thrilled to hear you speak about this special time of year. My great, great grandfather, Thomas Ball (Scots-Irish) was a Mountain Man who settled in Pennsylvania and married a Cherokee Woman Metta my great great Grandmother 🥰. History, Traditions, Roots, Customs have been lost here by design! Just like almost every place else on planet earth. Funny when we were kids our parents would have Halloween parties and we would bob for apples which was lots of fun…knowing where this comes from is nice. Learning about making a Parshal Cross is also a special treat. I’ve been looking at your previous videos also about Samhain which I Love. Enjoy celebrating with your friends and family during Samhain 💗🥰💗 Peace and Love from Florida, US
Peace and love to you too. It is a terrible shame that so many customs from ll cultures are being forgotten and lost and everything becoming so homogenised. We need our customs and traditions to remind us of who we are and to bring us together in community. Glad to hear from you xx
Thank you Terry❤
Another enjoyable video. I am just noticing the door latch on your white door. I have a couple of identical door latches on my cabin doors. I didn't build this cabin, Quaker community members did about 45 years (or more) ago, old style I suppose using those simple door latches. First snow fell here two days ago, accompanied by our first light killing frost. Winter isn't far off now. My garden is taken care of, fire wood cut and hauled, water boxes winterized, etc. etc. After months of garden and yard work I find myself feeling lazy now that everything is pretty much taken care of for the coming short days and winter cold. Enjoy your Samhain celebration, and that colcannon you are making (I need to try that recipe). Stay warm and dry. Cheers!
Enjoy your time of hibernation xx
Lovely video as always Terri xxx thank you so much
That’s so interesting 💖. Thanks Terri. I love colcannon too. Thanks for the inspiration.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for your lovely video . I’m going to try this cross . Happy Samhain blessings xxx
Blessings to you too x
Welcome back. Thank you for such a lovely video .
Thank you! 😊 X
That's amazing! We made a similar cross in Spanish class called the Eye of God. We used dowel rods and colorful yard.
We call the Eye of God a Druid's Eye - slightly different weave to the Parshell Cross xx
How interesting!!!! I love learning new things. Maybe you'll do or have done a video in that?
Just lovely thanks Terri...blessings to you too for Sowen ❤❤
You are so welcome Isabelle, hope all well with you x
So peaceful especially needed at this time.Thank you!
The more peace the better xx
Nice new Samhain video at the beginning!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Dear Terri, besides that your Videos lighten up my sundays, I admire your wonderful piece of handwork you are wearing here. Such a lovely colour combination, looks great. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I have already learned a lot since i found you on TH-cam this spring. Best wishes from the north of Germany ❤️
Wow, thank you! Wish I had made it myself 😊 but I bought it on a market x
Tea, Toast, and Terri. Great start to my Sunday ❤
Ha ha 😂 I love alliteration!
Apple pips on your cheek😂not heard that one! I want to try it for the fun but can't think of any other names apart from hubby😂. We had one you had to peel an orange in one, no break, then throw it over your shoulder, to reveal the initial of your love to be, it worked for me "S" 😂😉
Well I think you are sorted then 😂💚
Awesome 🇺🇸
