Terri, You inspire me to be the best medicine woman I can for not only myself but for my community. Thank you for teaching me your ways of getting back to the roots of why we practice! Keep up the excellent and inspiring work!
I’m sending you a thank you from the USA. I found your site a few weeks ago and cannot stop watching. I’m so intrigued with all of your information. you have a wonderful way of presenting your topics… The filming is outstanding clever, and capturing the essence of your beautiful garden. my great grandmother came across Italy with a Gypsy Caravan, at the turn of the century and settled in Boston Massachusetts. She was the wise woman of the caravan and provided herbal medicine and birthing. I am now 80 years old, and have always loved gardening and working with herbal medicine, but your site has given me a new excitement about the craft. Thank you. I wish we were neighbors And I feel like you’re my new best friend. 11:23
Terry please make a video showing us how you make your oat cakes from what you just harvested :) Always look forward to Whatever you show us!! much love from the U.S.
What a wonderful treat!! To see your garden, harvesting the oats for Lughnasadh and then your delightful dogs playing tug of war! Thank you so much for sharing. Blessed Lughnasadh to you.
Loved hearing the story of Lughnasadh,and seeing the dogs having their own games,they have a great life,must watch it all again,music just perfect .Thankyou Terri for this happy video,love from NZ
Happy Lughnasadh! Another lovely video filled with wisdom and beauty, thank you. I love seeing the dogs playing, they are so joyful. Blessings to you all.
Delightful as always Teri! It is so joyful watching your 2 pooches play, what pals they are! Broc reminds me of my rough haired Jack Russell Connie who lived to the grand age of 17!
Happy Lughnasadh, Terri. This was so interesting, as usual. I so look forward to your videos each Sunday. I loved watching your adorable dogs participating in their very own Lughnasadh Games as well!
Thank you so much Terri for sharing. I have been celebrating in my own way last couple of years or so. I had read that a little about the sun god Lugh and the games and his foster mother. Was lovely to see the oat crop harvested. Blessings to you and yours xx
Hi,Terri...............happy Lughnasadh...................your dogs have fun.................Blessings and Greetings from Daggy Kiel Germany,..............in September I am back in Ireland for a holiday☘☘☘
Terry I love watching your dogs.....they are so cute. Congratulations! you are the first content creator that I have "hit the bell for notifications." I really enjoy watching your videos.
Lughnasadh Blessings to you. Really enjoyed watching this and feel a bit daft that I didn`t connect Lugh with the olympic games. Found that interesting. and those dogs are adorable playing, made my day.
Lughnasadh Blessings! I think you misheard me. Lugh is not connected with the Olympic Games - his games were started before the Olympic games, that's how old they are and still going on to some extent. xx Glad you enjoyed the dogs xx
I love your gardens. So much lore lost as it isn't taught in schools at all. Even in history. I think that we are not as fulfilled as we should be as our knowledge of ancestry and folklore has been diluted and we are shadows of what we should be. Take care and have a good week. =-)
As a former History teacher I am very sad that History has been down-graded on the Irish curriculum which I think is a deliberate policy to do just that - make us forget and become shadows of what we could be. You have a good week Lorraine xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Here in New Zealand the Maori people who were here before English came and settled are slowly gaining having their language and culture recognised and Matariki/Winter solstice is now a public holiday.Te Reo their language is now being taught and I look forward to learning more alongside my grandson It's exciting but will take a long time before many English descent people are comfortable with it.
I'm a teacher (primary) as well though not working in the public system any more as I feel the children are being taught as though they are an assembly line (shudder).
I’m really enjoying every minute of the herbal medicine course, Terri! I have all kinds of medicine on the go, I feel hugely self reliant and very confident in making the medicines, and I’m having the most abundant summer because of it. Thank you!
Thank you for every wonderful aspect of this film. The dog games really great. My german Shepherd and mini dachshund play tug,hours of enjoyment for me. Oats what a great crop and a fav food for me with chopped almonds irish butter and maple syrup. A regular meal at my school fresh ground is amazing. Enjoy holiday thank you for the druid blessing. 🥰💞🧡💖💛💚🤟👀🦴
Beautiful as always. Thank you for sharing this lovely day with us. The music for your videos is always just brilliant. Magnificent guitar work. A joyous Lughnasadh to all who celebrate.
Hi Terri - It’s always such a delight to watch your videos!! I look forward to them every week. I may not get to watch many videos but I always watch yours!!! You are such a wealth of knowledge. Would love to be able to visit you some day. I say it all the time, but your dogs bring such pleasure. They are so adorable and love each other. We can learn so much from our pets. Your garden is looking so lush and beautiful. Looking forward to seeing how you use the oats you harvested next week. Enjoy your week ahead. Hugs to you and the dogs! 💕🐶
Hello! Tomorrow will be my first Lugnasadh! (I'm from CA) Well my first pagan holiday ever! My heritage was mainly irish and I'm so happy i stumbled upon you! I am very mixed genetic wise but mainly irish. Sadly i am not as attached to my heritage as i'd like to be but i hope your videos will enlighten me on my journey as a child of earth. Best wishes and a happy Lunghnasadh to you! Until next video
I appreciate learning about the pre-christian nature-based festivals still being celebrated in Ireland today. My family history is from Ireland but it has all been lost to us thanks to Christianity and I'm so interested in reconnecting to what came before. So much info you find online about these festivals gets jumbled up with modern wiccan neo-paganism, it's hard to find genuine Celtic info. So thank you kindly from NY, USA - I love hearing about it straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak! Happy Lughnasadh 🌾
Wonderful to see can not wait to see what you create my herbs are ready for harvesting will start this week thank you so much for sharing love you. Namaste
Happy lughnasadh to you too dear Terri, loved to see the dogs playing, Jack Russell won of course, lugh was looking down on the Jack Russell’s when they were breed 😊
Love your informative and beautiful videos Danu! Always enjoy the bonus of watching those sweet pups go at it...hopping and tugging...brings me such joy just to watch them!💖 Thank you and Happy Lughnasadh!🌾🌾🌾
Happy Lughnasadh Lol and Terri (and the pups & cats) It's nice to have a Civic holiday to really have the time to enjoy time with friends and the beautiful fruits of your labors!! Thank you!
As always, very interesting video Terri. As to the stars of the show, it might be high time Jazz and Brock got their own channel going - you could be a featured guest/cameo!!
Thanks for sharing those stories about Lughnasadh, something I didn't know. I'm always interested in those types of stories and their origins where ever that may be on the planet. Your dogs just bring a big smile to my face. When I had dogs (working dogs generally) they had a racetrack worn into the ground around the cabin. Those dogs (Border Collies) would chase each other, running full speed, one way around the cabin, then the other way. Fun to watch, just like your dogs having their tug of war. I'm glad to hear about oats. I have a smallish patch of oats, about the size you have, growing here this year. I've been wondering just what to do with those grains. Hearing you speak about green oats for medicine interests me a lot. I am not familiar with green oat medicine and would love to know more. Here the last half of July was very hot (+35 and hotter in places) and dry. I've been busy in the garden as usual, although the mosquitoes this year are thick and nasty. I'm been picking raspberries lately. So far just over 20 pounds picked here in my garden patch. It was nice to see your beautiful flowers and plants around your yard. Take care and enjoy the remainder of the summer. Cheers!
I do love Border Collies - my brother has 3 and they love to play. Jazz is half collie half lab. The green oats are the oats before they ripen. Squeeze the grain and a milky sap comes out. Oats are a great nervine tonic and of course they are good to eat. Make tea with the straw or put it under the chickens!😃 You did well with your raspberries. Very poor show here, I think they are on their last legs. Hope the mosquitos don't get you.
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Thanks for your kind reply. I sure miss my dogs. I love seeing your dogs (and it was wonderful seeing your cat), they bring joy to my heart. Thanks for the information about green oats. I've eaten oat porridge all my life knowing that food is so good for us humans. I know my goats and horses (I don't have animals anymore) always loved their oats too. Yes, this year has been very good for raspberries. So far I've picked over 25 pounds of raspberries and there are still more to pick everyday right now. You may want to try moving some of your raspberry canes to another spot. Raspberries are travelers and enjoy new ground. Another way to get raspberries going, when they have been diminishing, is to spread cow or horse manure through the patch, they love that feed of nitrogen and organic material. - - - Here the mosquitoes have been really bad this summer, once the heat got turned on (this July when temps. went above 30 degrees Celcius everyday for weeks) after all that high water we had here this spring. - - - I must look strange out in my garden wearing head nets and covered head to foot with clothing, hopefully to keep the bugs off. One of the good things about mosquitoes of course is that they feed birds and other insects. It seems nature always has a plus side doesn't she! Take care. Cheers!
Very interesting Terri. I was thinking about growing some oats next year if we have our own place but grateful we have a small veggie patch this year to begin with.
IT would be a good idea - so many uses but don't make our mistake and go too big too soon. Take your time and get to know the garden and your capabilities. xxx
It is such a delight to watch Jaz and Brock as they participate in their own canine Lughnasadh Games with tug-of-war, running and wrestling!
I know - they must know it is Lughnasadh because they did all themselves😂
I couldn’t agree more!!! Loved watching them!! ❤️
Terri,
You inspire me to be the best medicine woman I can for not only myself but for my community. Thank you for teaching me your ways of getting back to the roots of why we practice! Keep up the excellent and inspiring work!

I see the dogs are having their own games of strength, agility, speed and cunning!! Blessings to you and yours!
They must know it is Lughnasadh😂 Blessings Alice xx
Loved this film! Especially loved seeing the dogs playing their own games
Glad you enjoyed it Diane. The dogs must know it is Lughnasadh, they had a great time! xx
Delightful as always Teri! It is so joyful watching your 2 pooches play, what pals they are! Broc reminds me of my rough haired Jack Russell Connie who lived to the grand age of 17!
That was a great age - I hope Broc gets that far. xx
Your dog are the best! They are so happy in this paradise!
I'm glad to say they really are! xx
love the interlude with feats of strength between two very happy dogs!
Ha ha! They just had a mad episode😂
It's wonderful to watch your dogs playing,it's like they are dancing to life's music!!!!!
Yes, it does the heart good to see them playing so innocently. xx
Happy Lughnasadh, Terri. This was so interesting, as usual. I so look forward to your videos each Sunday. I loved watching your adorable dogs participating in their very own Lughnasadh Games as well!
Lughnasadh Blessings Michele! Those dogs!! How did they know?? Perfect timing wasn't it. xx

Loved watching the pups play tug of war!
Loved this.thank you as always.
So glad you enjoyed it. xx
💚 someone's STILL ready to play ball! 😁
I like the ode to the games, "played out" by the pups.
He is always read to "play" - as long as he has it all the time! They must have known it was Lughnasadh😂
Thanks for explaining the origins of Lughnasadh. The dogs playing tug of war was perfect. Looking forward to seeing part 2. Blessings xx
Blessings Jamie - the dogs were just perfect - how did they know?😂
Oooh Terri, this was a marvellous film, thank you… Happy Lughnasadh.
Lots of love, Lili 🌞
Happy Lughnasadh Lili - hope you are well - love and blessings xx

My family history is from Ireland but it has all been lost to us thanks to Christianity and I'm so interested in reconnecting to what came before.

Have a look at www.LoraOBrien.ie - a very interesting website. Irish paganism is nothing to do with Wicca. Glad you enjoyed it. xx
I always learn so much from your channel. Thank you!
That's great to hear, thank you Colleen xx
