The light and colours in this film are just so beautiful! I'm getting all inspired as Lammas is just a few weeks away here in Australia and this was just perfect xx
In the Slavic pagan tradition, specifically the Polish region, in the beginning of spring, we would make a large corn dolly or wheat dolly or hay/straw dolly and burn her and then send her down the river. I am 32 years old and I remember doing this in eighth grade (Saturday Polish school in the USA). Even though Poland is basically 100% catholic, voluntarily or not, these pagan traditions are still upheld. I could probably name three off of the top of my head that my family in Poland still observes.
You always cover all areas: beauty, humor, education. Your baby is sooo cute.loved every minute of this and always the beauty of where you live and how you bake. Thank you!
I was really uninspired for this year but now I really want to bake something. Maybe I'll tie my Italian heritage into it and make some Foccacia with Salt and Rosemary.
I just love your sense of humor, creativity, and story-telling. I get excited and inspired whenever I see your new videos. Thank you for bringing light and love to everyday life - it makes the mundane magic and for that you are a beautiful soul!
I love the poem at the start of this vlog! I love both Lughnasadh and Imbolc. These two Sabats are often overlooked in my part of the world. Laghnasadh more so, as it is bloody hot where I live in California during August (thank goodness for ceiling fans and AC - set at 78 F). Thank The Maker for the brief summer rain this morning! All of the windows are open presently. Again, thank you for all of ideas, Bex.
So happy to hear - I found it super fitting too for this holiday! Ufff ... That sounds hellish 😅🥵 enjoy the cool breeze and all the summer showers you can get
Thanks for this video . This is the first time I am celebrating Lammas/ lughnasadh. Im going to be making bread tomorrow and give some as an offering to the Earth and it’s spirits. Thank you once again 😊
I loved learning more about this celebration! I am from a small town in Kansas that was once the top wheat producing community in the world; every year, they have a Wheat Festival in July.
Chicory is my favorite herb this time of year, I just started doing hanachouzu (The act of arranging flower heads within water basins) with my bird baths and use these flowers as well as hydrangeas, its so pretty ! The birds seem to enjoy it too. Those mini jars are so cute! I have mini pieces of radioactive seaglass which need a home like that:) Your cinematography & story telling is so great btw! I see your VISION !
Choking back tears as I'm watching you BF. That was so beautiful 💞 I stumbled across your video and I am from USA but my heritage is German. I know nothing of my culture, this video was so so special to me 💞 blessings
I love your sabbat videos, I learn so much from them! I especially love the german folktale parts! As someone who has quite a bit of german heritage, I find them really interesting and kinda funny at times, like this one especially LOL
You are part of my spiritual meditation...you make me laugh, give me strength, soothe my soul and remind me that beauty (and even ugly spirits..lol) all have their role in the big universal theme ❤️
Funfact about the "Mittagsfrau" in sorbian folklore(east german natives): There are many variations of how she looks, but most say she wears a white gown floating with the wind, that blows over the fields. You can calm the spirit of the Mittagsfrau(avoid death) by telling her about flax/linen over a span of one hour. In Poland she gives you riddles to solve.(So the legend not just teach you to be aware of heat stroke, but also be smart and educate yourself on your craft) The Poludnica originated from the goddess of the midhour(noon) from Slavic paganism and you can find stories of her all over east Europe with variations. A nice video as usual,Becks. Have a great Lammas.
You look so beautiful. I needed this video. I have been feeling under the weather, vertigo, and we are selling the house so crazy times. Your little one is adorable.
My entire Witchy Clan ( my Coven are all related to me by blood or Rite of Marriage) was able to get together for this Sabbat. Was great to see the guys and their wives. One of them is newly pregnant. So new little Witchling soon. Boyfriend's birthday was we went to a concert at a local club. Don't remember who we saw playing , but they sounded good. Blessed Be
Loved the video! I can't help but think of the Japanese anime Holo Spice and Wolf. It's about the Wolf harvest deity that was bound to the grain to ensure a bountiful harvest. With the rise of agriculture technology, the deity was no longer worshiped/needed and goes on a quest to get back to her homeland. It is loosely based on old Japanese folklore. Amazing how different cultures have similar stories
That is soooo interesting! We do have a very similar story here about the 'Roggenwolf' - the rye wolf! Funny how similar stories sometimes overlap in different cultures. Definitely going to look up that anime - thanks for sharing 💛
Your Videos are beautiful. I love the way you combine different ideas and knowledge, diys and folkstories. And your sweet “slipups“ are simply adorable. The dark lady with her metal nipples sounds harsh. On the other hand, thinking about the little ones in the high grains, not beeing seen while people work with sickles(!). And how bloody it could become for real.... I'm pretty sure those bloody stories were much more memorable than any other way of telling the dangers of field work. May your summerdays will be blessed!
Thank you so much! And you are certainly right - I bet these stories imprinted on little minds and kept them out of danger!! Sending much love and wishing you a magical Lughnasadh 🌾
What a fantastic video! I was watching last year’s blog and have been waiting for this. I especially love the poem-I love to create art journal pages using poetry that resonates with me at a given moment and I will definitely be using this one. Thank you!
Love the idea to clean out the kitchen. And perhaps finish it off with baking bread. Soon enough we’ll be stuck inside again and it’s so nice to prepare your home for that, on all levels. Especially the kitchen as it’s the place where we spend most of our time. Got an old churn this week so perhaps try it out as well 😎 can highly recommend using the left over milk in the baking! The bread you get from that milk is amazing 😍 (we call it kärnmjölk but I don’t know the English word for it).
Love this! My mother was born in 1935 in Calw so German lore was also a part of my childhood. I’ve now passed all the stories on to my own six children- my youngest is 8 and listens with big eyes when I tell her these things. 🤣😂 Her favorite time is Lughnasadh as she loves the bread we make. Thank you, I really enjoy your channel! 🖤💖
Haha I can imagine - they definitely imprint on a child's mind. I scared mine with my dress-up the other day xD Nothing better than fresh bread and butter - she is absolutely right there 😄🌾 happy Lughnasadh to you and yours ❤️
Ahhhh thats soooo cute! Your little ones are adorable. Watching reminds me of the days my babies were in slings! 😂so funny how you call kids crotch goblins! Mine are 7 and nearly 5 now so I'm doing the school run these days. I love making bread at this time of year - tbh anytime of year! I shared a recipe for my sun bread in my Lughnasadh/ Lammas video a few days ago on my channel. The kids went absolutely mad for it and ate more of it than anything else! I love how simple and yet effective the pain d'epi is - Ive made this once years ago in my twenties I think. I just want to eat bread now 😆😋Blessings to you and yours for the season Xx
Time fliiiiieeees - in September mine goes to kindergarden already 😭 that sun bread sounds like my next baking project with the kid hahah will go and watch now! Xx
@@Thewitchescookery awwwww kindergarten already; thats a big step - its a really precious time for sure but every age does seem to have its charms and challenges equally 😂So many blessings for Lughnasadh Bex 🙏
That bread looks yummy 😋. I’ve tried to make bread from scratch a few times and it always taste like wood. But you’ve inspired me to go to a good bakery and get a fancy loaf. This was another excellent video, thanks for all of the hard work you do.
Tasted like wood made me laugh xD maybe you need to try another recipe - or flour hihi but yes - even better, get yourself something from a fancy artisan bakery 🤤🥖
I love the little jars divination idea! And your mother of the grain outfit is so cool! I want a movie with that character and you in its starring role!
Another lovely video. Your sweet petite ya-yas are adorable! I so enjoy your historical insights and can't help but laugh at the folklore of my German heritage. Thank you, and Lammas Blessings
Thank you for another fun and informative video! As this will be my first Lughnasadh... I appreciate learning about it and ways to celebrate. Your crotch goblins are adorable, as always. Luv from Arizona, Pamela
@@Thewitchescookery I'm in love with your mommy witch vibe hunny if you ever feel less than a force to be reckoned with lmk it would be an honor to remind you 😘🥰😍💓💓💓
I am late, but I still love all your videos. You are a great mom and an awesome witch. You help me relax in a stressfull time. Thank you, Bex! I always think of you. ❤
@@Thewitchescookery Thank you for your lovely greetings. 😊 Momentan geht es mir so lala. Meine bessere Hälfte hat starke Depressionen wegen dem Krieg in der Ukraine, und es wurde schlimmer als sie Orte ihrer Kindheit in Charkiw zerbombt sah. Ich versuche ihr beizustehen, aber es ist derzeit nicht leicht. Deine Videos geben mir jedoch Kraft, was auch ihr wiederum zugute kommt. Ich danke dir, Bex. Ich sende dir sehr viel Liebe, und wünsche dir und deiner zauberhaften Familie alles Glück der Welt und Gesundheit. 💚🍀
You always brighten my day. I’m in the middle of a huge 800 mile move and stay overwhelmed on the daily. I’m too old for this shit. 😑 Anyway, thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed story time. Blessings to you and yours, Bex. 🥰
Great video Bex! Your role as the Grain demon and summary of her demon description was hilarious 😂 Your videos always give me great ideas and have such beautiful calming and enchanting hearth vibes. Hope you have a great lammas! ❤️🥖
Once again thank you that bread looks so yummy !! I am feeling very inspired 🍞 lol that's the closes emoji I could find :P and I loved the poem at the start
So happy to hear! I love the intro too but it definitely was a gamble with audience retention 😅 I saw you messaged on Insta but didn't have time to listen yet! Will do on Friday 💛
We made a sacrificial bread man like John Barleycorn Of course he had a large male member As part of ritual we would partake of area on bread where we need help ex fertility with a big bite from you know where Also leave some for ancestors and some in nature So it’s like the Barleycorn story he is reborn through us by our eating of his sacrifice I like making corn and barley bread also
Thank you!! Well, I hope they do remember it fondly - and not that Mama left them laying in a hot field getting tickled by ants, while she talked to a camera 😅🐜
A lovely and informative blog becks.I loved the recipe and what a great idea with the audio sounds for the baby's sleeping! Hope you are all well.Blessings from devon England. 🌛🌕🌜👩🍳🍳⛈🌞
So happy you like it! The nature sounds are sooooo nice - my favourite way to work or fall asleep (much better than the ugly white noise machines for babies). Sending much love and wishing you a beautiful Lammas ✨💛🤗
Thank you for another wonderful vlog 😊Happy Lughnasadh to you and your family and thanks so much for the awesome poem an great ideas. I just love your story telling and all your kitchen Witchery 🧹The bread and butter looks so delicious ! Your baby is getting so big and your little boy ! They are adorable 🥰Much love to you and your family Bex 🤗💙💙💗💗
Thanks for sharing. I love to learn about the origins of different celebrations plus the stories and rituals that go alongside them. I also love your terms of endearment for your kids. It makes me laugh because if it's originality.
For me personally I celebrate Lughnasad and boyfriend's birthday at the same party. The Sabbat happens around the 2nd of Aug and my boyfriend has a birthday on the 5th of the month
Love your dress with the matching headband 💙🤍 The colors look great on you! And it also looks beautiful together with the grain field (I also just wanted to write corn at first 🤣🤣)
Fun fact: The corn dilemma caused something of a problem after WW2 when German authorities were asked by US occupation forces what they needed most. They said "corn". And received a lot of corn meal, of which nobody had ever heard or knew what to do with it. :)
Was planning to celebrate and expecting festivities so much this year but so far I've been able to just light up some incense and candles which is probably what I'll be doing this time too. Anyway, it's so inspiring knowing more and seeing how others celebrates just lift my spirits, so much knowledge and I feel so blessed when someone shares it! Thank you so much for your videos! 🙏
Sometimes even having this little mindful moment and pause can be quite valuable - it doesn't need to be a whole fancy celebration every time :) so happy you enjoy the video. Have a magical Lammas ✨☺️
Hi Bex .I really enjoyed your video.it was very enjoyable and relaxing.it is beautiful were you are .i am going to do the memory bottles it looks cool .your story's I really enjoyed .I would love to be in a big cosy room with an open fire and a blanket listen to all your story's .I will all so bake so of that bread to see what it is like .it looks delish .I will look forward very much to your next video .sending very warm wishes 🌻
So happy to hear you enjoyed it!! I would love to do folkstory telling by a cozy fire hahah that sound fantastic! Let me know how you liked the bread 🍞 wishing you a lovely Lammas ✨
Thank you for taking the time to reply.when I watch you bake I go to my kitchen to eat ha .I will let you know how nice the bread is .my daughter and I will enjoy baking it together.your story telling is so cosy. I just picture long dark cold nights with the wind and rain on the window listen to all your story's .looking forward to you next video .
Fantastic video! I dreamed of a witch at 3:00 am. She told me to save. We are in danger. Humanity will be destroyed by his/her wrong decisions... We need more witches to save our earth...
Some spiritual beliefs say that waking up around 1am-3am is a sign from the universe (or whatever higher power you believe in) is trying to contact you. They call it psychic quiet hour. I do believe there's a rise in people going back to their ancient routes though, and more and more people are returning to the craft and accepting it as part of their religious or spiritual practice. Things may seem heavy now, but good things are to come soon.
It made my day to learn about the corn mother story because omg, we had a similar idea in my family but we thought we made it up ourselves. I'm from the midwest region of the US which is quite flat terrain and covered with cornfields. When my younger brother was very little, my dad invented a story about the Corn Monster who snatched misbehaving children and carried them deep into the corn fields, in order to scare him into behaving. I am sure my dad knew nothing about there already being a scary corn mother legend from Bavaria. Such a funny coincidence! Although, my great great grandmother was a Catherine Kaiser from somewhere in Germany before she emigrated here, so who knows, maybe some whiff of the legend got passed down from her. Our Corn Monster didn't have giant iron boobs that doubled as a scarf, though. That's pure German ingenuity 😂 Also, you could make your own meditation app just with you reading poetry, wow. Your kids are so lucky to have you on call for storytime 😂I just love your videos, Bex! So much respect for your ability to consistently create such engaging, beautifully shot, genuinely insightful and interesting videos, while also juggling two children, your own practice and goodness knows what else (oh, AND doing it all while impeccably speaking a second language). Thank you so much for sharing your creativity, knowledge and great ideas with us! The old farmhouse I moved into last year has a hand-crank grain mill that I've never used before. This video has inspired me to finally put it to work and grind my own flour for my Lammas loaf. I am so excited in the nerdiest possible way 😄Hope you have a wonderful sabbat! ☺
I'm so grateful for your videos! I'm actually meeting up with a friend to take part in a Norse harvest ritual/celebration (I forget the name). So I'll be celebrating that in conjunction with Lughnasadh this year!

I like the way you involve your children in kitchen witchery.
They love it too hihi but my kitchen is in a constant state of mess
I loved learning more about this celebration! I am from a small town in Kansas that was once the top wheat producing community in the world; every year, they have a Wheat Festival in July.
Then Lughnasadh should be in your blood 😄🌾✨ how lovely!
Congratulations on the arrival of your beautiful baby girl, guapa! Thanks again for another lovely video. Happy Lughnasadh!🌄🌻😎

Once again thank you that bread looks so yummy !! I am feeling very inspired 🍞 lol that's the closes emoji I could find :P and I loved the poem at the start
Hihihi glad to hear!! 🌾💛🍞
Danke, wieder ein tolles Video.

Loved that intro! Loved this one!
So happy to hear! I love the intro too but it definitely was a gamble with audience retention 😅 I saw you messaged on Insta but didn't have time to listen yet! Will do on Friday 💛
Love Lammas or Lughnasaadh
Me too! All the harvest festivals in fact 🤗💛
We made a sacrificial bread man like John Barleycorn Of course he had a large male member As part of ritual we would partake of area on bread where we need help ex fertility with a big bite from you know where Also leave some for ancestors and some in nature So it’s like the Barleycorn story he is reborn through us by our eating of his sacrifice I like making corn and barley bread also
Thanks!
🤗💛
I love your videos! Not only are you great at explaining things helpful to newbies, but you are hilarious! I can’t stop laughing at ‘crotch goblins’ 😂

Thank you! (I cut out the part where ants tried to get into her ear 😅😭)
@@Thewitchescookery That did make me laugh. Don't know what they were looking for!
I always love watching your videos!

Beautiful video, as always! Your children are having the BEST childhood ever. 😂 Go mama! I love it!!
Thank you!! Well, I hope they do remember it fondly - and not that Mama left them laying in a hot field getting tickled by ants, while she talked to a camera 😅🐜

Love this video, thank you. Will check out your other one about Lughnasadh as this festival also happens to be my birthday 🥳
What a happy coincidence! Wishing you a beautiful celebration 🌾✨💛
@@Thewitchescookery 💖
Wow, you are unbelievable wonderful.
Thanks for sharing. I love to learn about the origins of different celebrations plus the stories and rituals that go alongside them. I also love your terms of endearment for your kids. It makes me laugh because if it's originality.
I am so happy you take something away from the videos! Have a most magical Lughnasadh 🌾✨☺️
I'm going to remember this story when I do storytelling
Thank you, this is very helpful. I've been puzzling how to observe this Sabbat.
So happy this made it clearer for you ☺️🌾
For me personally I celebrate Lughnasad and boyfriend's birthday at the same party. The Sabbat happens around the 2nd of Aug and my boyfriend has a birthday on the 5th of the month
What a nice coincidence! Lot's of celebrating to be done then 😃☀️✨
Love your dress with the matching headband 💙🤍 The colors look great on you! And it also looks beautiful together with the grain field (I also just wanted to write corn at first 🤣🤣)
Hahaha the corn is 'ingrained' 🤪 in our brain. Thaaaank you! I love the colour combo too 💙💛
@@Thewitchescookery hahaha, yes definitely 🤣🤣
Fun fact: The corn dilemma caused something of a problem after WW2 when German authorities were asked by US occupation forces what they needed most. They said "corn". And received a lot of corn meal, of which nobody had ever heard or knew what to do with it. :)
@@clarissaschnabel I love that little fun fact! Never heard of it before 😄 thank you for sharing ❤️
@@clarissaschnabel Haha never heard of it either!! 😄 Thank you for telling us!
Happy Lughnasadh!! :)
And to you!! 🌾☺️✨
Was planning to celebrate and expecting festivities so much this year but so far I've been able to just light up some incense and candles which is probably what I'll be doing this time too.
Anyway, it's so inspiring knowing more and seeing how others celebrates just lift my spirits, so much knowledge and I feel so blessed when someone shares it!
Thank you so much for your videos! 🙏
Sometimes even having this little mindful moment and pause can be quite valuable - it doesn't need to be a whole fancy celebration every time :) so happy you enjoy the video. Have a magical Lammas ✨☺️

what a beautiful video
Fantastic video! I dreamed of a witch at 3:00 am. She told me to save. We are in danger. Humanity will be destroyed by his/her wrong decisions... We need more witches to save our earth...
So happy you enjoyed it 🙂
Some spiritual beliefs say that waking up around 1am-3am is a sign from the universe (or whatever higher power you believe in) is trying to contact you. They call it psychic quiet hour. I do believe there's a rise in people going back to their ancient routes though, and more and more people are returning to the craft and accepting it as part of their religious or spiritual practice. Things may seem heavy now, but good things are to come soon.
It made my day to learn about the corn mother story because omg, we had a similar idea in my family but we thought we made it up ourselves. I'm from the midwest region of the US which is quite flat terrain and covered with cornfields. When my younger brother was very little, my dad invented a story about the Corn Monster who snatched misbehaving children and carried them deep into the corn fields, in order to scare him into behaving. I am sure my dad knew nothing about there already being a scary corn mother legend from Bavaria. Such a funny coincidence! Although, my great great grandmother was a Catherine Kaiser from somewhere in Germany before she emigrated here, so who knows, maybe some whiff of the legend got passed down from her. Our Corn Monster didn't have giant iron boobs that doubled as a scarf, though. That's pure German ingenuity 😂
Also, you could make your own meditation app just with you reading poetry, wow. Your kids are so lucky to have you on call for storytime 😂I just love your videos, Bex! So much respect for your ability to consistently create such engaging, beautifully shot, genuinely insightful and interesting videos, while also juggling two children, your own practice and goodness knows what else (oh, AND doing it all while impeccably speaking a second language). Thank you so much for sharing your creativity, knowledge and great ideas with us! The old farmhouse I moved into last year has a hand-crank grain mill that I've never used before. This video has inspired me to finally put it to work and grind my own flour for my Lammas loaf. I am so excited in the nerdiest possible way 😄Hope you have a wonderful sabbat! ☺
I'm so grateful for your videos! I'm actually meeting up with a friend to take part in a Norse harvest ritual/celebration (I forget the name). So I'll be celebrating that in conjunction with Lughnasadh this year!
That sounds so fun!! I wish I had real life witchy friends to celebrate with 😄✨
I just love your content! It is my mindful moment fuel! Thank you, Bex!
Oh thank you so much 🥰 have a beautiful Lughnasadh 🌾
Love your videos, Bex! Thanks for sharing you magic, your art, and yourself with us. ✨
🤗✨🌾 wishing you a beautiful Lammas
