For the past three years, since my Mama's death, I have chosen a word for the year. 1. Resilience 2. Brave and I thought next year's word would be Clarity. But Guidance is a good one...my mother once gave me a stone with the word Guidance on it. The past 4 years have been so painful without her but I will continue to be guided by her love. Thank you for this lovely video. Blessed Yule. 🎄
Sorry for your loss, friend. ❤ I grieve my mother and she's still here... try to prepare myself for the inevitable. I try to remind myself to use her love as a reminder to be happy and live on.
My mom passed too. Now im the elder womanof the family. Ive cried since my grandma passed 7 years ago too. Thank you for the idea you have with the word of year. Hugs❤
While watching this video, the word SAFETY came to mind. Safety financially, safety in health and healthcare, safety in foods to be consumed, safety from harm and violence, safety of my existence as who i am, safety that my friends and family will survive as well. With American politics, the second term of an evil person, the unhinged chaos the political party thrives in, and the inhumane dangers of Project 2025, safety is going to be very important to survive the next 4 years, and the following decades to undo the harm. I wish safety to all. Happy Yule! Happy holidays!
Thank you so much! My word for the year is Evolve. I've been feeling so restless for so long now, I need to fully transform into the person I'm supposed to be. It's time. Magic _is_ what you make it. ❤
We spent our first day in Germany in Nuremberg and I woke up this morning wondering if I would see a video from you. You have such a rich library of content here-I would encourage any newer followers to take advantage, I rewatch often.have a wonderful holiday!
My word for the year is transform. I have many small things that I want to change, and this is the year that work will be started. Thank you for your wisdom. Your children are so adorable! Blessed Yule to you!
I have had a difficult year with financial struggles, garden/ farm failure, physical and mental burnout and then last month a tragic death in my immediate family. I needed this video today. I am feeling grateful and hopeful for the year ahead. My word is Thrive. My garden will thrive, my bank account will thrive, my physical and mental wellbeing will thrive and my beloved family will thrive. Thank you for taking the time out of your life to help me improve mine.
Funny I picked Transformation as my word for the year and as your video goes on you say how much you love guiding those in the dark.... I just wanted to let you know you are being my light as I once again head into the unknown 💕
Listening to you talk about stepping back here to do more on insta, I felt tears well up. My brain was like this makes sense but my feelings reacted differently. I think it's because I felt so unwelcomed on that platform (not even people being mean most the time) but something about the platform/algorithm was hostile to me. I think my word is somewhere in that experience of supporting others journey but staying back within my boundaries and not pushing myself anymore into hostile space as much as possible
Beautiful video ❤ Blessed yule. I think I have come to realize in the past months that my guiding word will be Community. It is something I am severely lacking and I realize more and more how much I crave for it
Weihnachtsbluten an euch alle - yuletide blessings to you all. I will be working on finding my word for 2025 before the end of the year. As someone just starting to explore the pagan and witch lifestyle I am looking forward to learning as much as I can about them both.
Blessed Yule to you Bex, and your lovely family - the word for me for next year is Balance - I will seek to obtain balance in all the things that I have to do so that I do not burn out like I did this year (only just getting over it!!). You have such calming videos and I love to watch them - so thank you for making them!! xxx
I'm very thankful I came across your channel. Contemplating life changes, directions to turn, interests to pursue, acceptance of the unfamiliar, and discovering my personal path has uncovered the best word for myself, and that is: restructure. Mainly how to create new rhythms in my life and welcome a new structure instead of freezing up in all the newness - or rather embracing what has been all along. Thank you for your guiding words.
This video couldn't have landed more timely. I had been currently reflecting on my accomplishments and the word BALANCE keeps appearing. I believe that is my word this year. Have a blessed year of Guidance, I will definitely be looking to see how you guide me! I love the idea of an anchor.
Hi Bex and thank you so much for your beautiful videos… they are a gift. My word of the year for 2025 will be resilient. I will be graduating from an energy medicine program as a clinical practitioner and hopefully against all odds beginning a practice of empathy and love in energy medicine. I’ve been finding magic in the simplest things lately: a cup of cocoa, a simmer pot, a meaningful talk with a friend or snuggle with my kids or cats. Thank you for your inspiration and support throughout the year. Your content has been so meaningful! Have a wonderful holiday and a blessed new year!
My word for 2025 is Healing. I lost my wife and mother and multiple other family members in 2024. I need to heal physically, mentally and spiritually, if that is at all possible.
Yes the time is speeding up and it’s been a whirlwind! Such a very lovely video! Blessed be! I love your recipe that has chocolate in oranges! How creative ❤
Thank you for this ❤ my word is…..FAITH Faith is believing and trusting the process! That is what I am focusing on in the new year ahead! Yes, seeing the magic in our everyday life, it’s all around us and it’s so easy to let the news and drama cloud over us and it’s up to us to keep the light shining bright ✨🤩 when you feel like this is happening shake yourself off and do something that makes you happy, even the smallest thing….read, color, baking, go for a walk, do something to make someone else’s day. ❤ Happy Winter Yule to all!
Great video as usual:) ❤And choosing a word for the year is so simple and profound. I choose trust as I need to trust in my own intuition. I doubt myself too much.
Happy Yule to you and yours Bex ❤️ My word for the upcoming year will be "balance". I learned so much about that word this past year and had to make some very big changes over the last month. I feel blessed to get the chance to try to succeed at balance over the upcoming year
Merry Yule! The days are so short right now and still dark around 9 am. But it's also so cozy with fireplaces, lights and decorations. Thank you for sharing. The orange meringue treats look amazing.
Such beautiful sentiments by which to learn and live. Thank you for the stone suggestion. It will be another way for me to make my life more whole. Happy Yule & a Bright New Year! I will miss seeing as much of you on Y-Tube as I have. But, I am so happy for your continuing blossoming journey. Sincerely, Alice from the US
I am thinking on my word so many come to mind. I appreciate you on these videos and the time it takes to do them. Sending love and energy your way! 💞 Please for those of us who are not on other social media don't give up the moments here no matter how small they may be we absolutely love them!
Happy Yule! While it's been over seven years since my Mom passed away, I would say that my word has been constant change. I've had to learn to be flexible and forgiving not just to others but with myself. Going into this next year is frightening because of the known unknown returning. Thank you for continuing to create safe spaces for people to gather to be themselves.
Grow! My word is Grow and Growing..... into magic, into my crone, growing my health, passion, my business, my skills, my love of life and in general LOVE
I always choose my words sometime during this threshold between Yule and the new year. It's magical when it emerges as I'm reflecting, dreaming, and planning. Sending you and yours love and gratitude, Bex.
Please don’t stop doing the videos in TH-cam I don’t go on instagram because it causes anxiety But I love watching your videos for hours. You have a calm voice and I can have you in the background while I’m working or napping. You also have taught me a lot about the Yule holiday and all the other holidays that have been downplayed like ostara 😊 Thank you 🙏 for the beautiful videos
I am taking your advice and planting seeds. Very strange as I had been saving lemon seeds to Plant for Spirng. And for Fertility. LOVE CHOCOLATE 🍫 🍊 Yum 😋 BLESSED YULE 🕯 🙏🏼✨️
Thank you for your videos. I've been following for 2 plus years and look to you for guidance at every point in the year's wheel. I'm so glad you're not leaving YT. I am an oldie and the only online social platforms l use are FB and YT. My word for the coming year popped into my head while l listened to you, along with a sigil. The word is LIGHT. I need to balance the dark, heavy anxiety l feel about the world, especially the political uncertainty in France, where l live, and Germany. I also want to be a practical source of light, through small, everyday kindnesses. Lastly, l want to lighten the emotional load l carry. I saw this in the background of a really soppy Christmas movie and it resonated with me: "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle." ❤
In the tub again watching you lol 😊. Your voice is rather meditative. I love that. I think I am going with 3 words. That's a me thing. Always pulling extra Tarot cards or having thoughts go from 1 to 2 to 3 or more as I find my answers. My words are going to be individuality, creativity and strength. I really want my creative side to take the forefront of my life. I am discovering again that I'm not being as vibrant as I should be. I have a fear of being truly me. I've been teased and put down when I express myself. I'm tired of being the versions of me that others feel I need to be so they can be happy with themselves. I need me too. Also there's always been a need to be defiant, in a good way, and not be proper. I'm so tired of floating through my life. There are so many ways I can wake up and have my carpes seize life. So since my hair is finally going white, I have lightened to an earlier blonde from my youngest childhood. However, it still wasn't right as my long ends were still too dark. So out came the scissors, found some male hair styles I liked and off the length went. I'm androgynous, so short hair makes me look like a guy. 2025 is the year to embrace that side of my personality as well. Femininity can be found so easily in lace, flowers, colours and sensuality. I no longer need my locks to state who I am. At 53, I no longer need to express my female side through conventional societal values that define the sexes. Wow... that's so powerful. I definitely needed to watch this video and write this comment so I could see it's power for me. I no longer need to be a girl... I can just be a woman... just be a person 😊. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. You have always inspired me ❤
Blessed Yule, Bex! The first half of this month certainly felt magical for me, visiting the Christmas Markets in Strasbourg and Cologne. Connecting with dear friends in Cologne and sharing the experience with my husband. Going to a European Christmas Market was on my bucket list for years and my husband made it happen for my Christmas gift. My word of †he year is "grace". Grace to myself in particular. I show grace to others but deny myself of it, especially since my daughter and granddaughter passed, 5 years ago. It's a work in progress. I hope 2025 brings you everything you want and deserve. 🥰
This has been a big year of learning for me, and I hope it continues into the next. I'm pretty sure I have my word for next year because the cards have been nudging me a LOT in that direction! Meanwhile, as I meditate and reflect on this, I'm enjoying the delicious aroma of gingerbread cookies as I glaze them! Happiest of the Yuletide season to you and your family, Bex!
Season Greetings to all! This was a nice challenge... The word I have chosen not just for this year but for me in general is BALANCE. I think that balance is my magical power. Funny thing, for more than a year and a half I have been carrying with me a little white stone on which I draw a heraldic symbol that I liked. Later I realised it was a symbol of royalty which actually depicted a hermin fur. It all connectect with a literature character (Hermine from Steppenwolf by H. Hesse), a character which symbolises so many thinks for me and a book I love since I was a teenager. I guess I already have my stone. Thank you for reminding me.
It is already up on my website and already a bunch of awesome witches signed up! We are starting the 11th of January for the year if you want to join in: the-witches-path.com/book-now/the-witches-wheel/
My word for 2025 is flow. It has been shouting at me all month and something I have a hard time doing. All the planning of a Virgo leaves little space for going with the flow of spontaneity
I'm still pondering my word for the new year... after so much loss the past 4 years. I started 2024 off with covid & am ending it with a sinus infection. :( I am ready for some healing and positivity going into 2025! 🥰
@@Thewitchescookery Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully a new coven will form where I live so I can celebrate the sabbats more often with fellow Wiccans/neopagans (the Unitarian Universalist church near where I live hosts an Earth church for the neopagans/Wiccans but it is only hold on the 4th week of a month which can be a problem for Imbolc and Beltane). Maybe I need to ask around at the local New Age stores. Last time I looked on Meetup I got word they ended due to COVID-19.
A merry yultide to you 🌲🫶✨️ I sinply made a mousse au chocolate with a bit of orange juice in it, filled it in the oranges and topped it off with meringue :)
Hi, I come from a very long line of people in the area of middle Europe. We were Pagans. We were the first Celtics and then some of us moved over to the France, Spain, and then to England, Scottland and Ireland. We later became slavic or germanic depending on where one lived. Then German, Polish, Czech and such. We have connections to the Celtic people in England, Scotland, and Scotland. We used to be the talest of people back then. We created the fabric that is called plaid. The men would put sulfer in their hair until it bleached out to blonde and stuck up stiff. We even attacked other people back then and ran after them totally naked! It was a scare tactic. Anyway. I am just a Witch. I call my self Dirt Witch Muck Pile as I was supposed to be born a girl and surprised everyone when I came out a boy. I got the power from my Mother's side but I am sure my Father's side had it as well as I am one of the few that is still 100% Czech. 5th and 4th generation in the USA. I draw from power from all kinds of places. Therefore, I cannot be labeled any kind of witch but WITCH. It is fun learning about myself. I enjoy it. It is natural and part of nature. We became Christian and Catholic later on, but those Catholic Leaders sure know how to lie to us all and then sin and cover up and hide. They get it in the end. Karma. Karma is the most "Just" power of them all. You get what you put out and sometimes even worse. Be on the good side and good Karma comes to you. My power is always used for the good. Sometimes I get so mad that I do force out a hex or curse, but that is my last straw because I know I do not deserve what is happening to me. As time goes on, the more people don't know their own jobs and I wind up having to do it myself to get it correct. When they get in the way, that is what makes me most mad. Then if they continue, the hex and curse comes out. Anywhat, Adam is said to have come from the dirt that God created and blew into his nostrels the breath of life. So us men are really just "dirtbags." Mother Earth has been good to me and I think I will keep her. We get along quite well. So if anything, I am a Dirt Witch and pull from all kinds of other ways as well. So, I am ALL OF THE ABOVE. But not from the dark and evil. I refuse to go there.
Stability, we’ve had a very troubling year and found ourselves with no home suddenly and then no car weeks later. My father is being made to leave his apartment of 16 years. (Landlord wanted my unit and then my father’s back.) We’re still trying to find a place to live i just want to find legs to stand on.
My tip: sit down in silence and ask yourself where in your life you are currently feeling a lack of purpose and then start looking into those areas on how yoi can find your purpose there
There are many Christian witches out there :) yule in itself celebrated the return of the light with the winter solstice - so it celebrates a nature event - I Don't see why you shouldn't be able to celebrate that 🌲🫶

My mom passed too. Now im the elder womanof the family. Ive cried since my grandma passed 7 years ago too. Thank you for the idea you have with the word of year. Hugs❤
While watching this video, the word SAFETY came to mind.
Safety financially, safety in health and healthcare, safety in foods to be consumed, safety from harm and violence, safety of my existence as who i am, safety that my friends and family will survive as well. With American politics, the second term of an evil person, the unhinged chaos the political party thrives in, and the inhumane dangers of Project 2025, safety is going to be very important to survive the next 4 years, and the following decades to undo the harm.
I wish safety to all.
Happy Yule! Happy holidays!
Right there with you ❤️🩹 I think mine this year is security. Financial security, physically secure, security for my family, etc
Mine with be:Strength. Especially living in the US, next year will definitely test my spirit and discipline.
💪🙌 yesss! Sending you some extra energy for the next year
@ Let’s get the riches, Witches! 💰 💵 💎 👑 🏰 🛩️
Agreed, you inspired my word. Courage. Have the courage to stand up, speak up. ❤
Thank you so much! My word for the year is Evolve. I've been feeling so restless for so long now, I need to fully transform into the person I'm supposed to be. It's time. Magic _is_ what you make it. ❤
Amazing 💪 remember thaz becoming your future you always lies in present you's choices and actions
We spent our first day in Germany in Nuremberg and I woke up this morning wondering if I would see a video from you. You have such a rich library of content here-I would encourage any newer followers to take advantage, I rewatch often.have a wonderful holiday!
Peace 💜 My word. Peace in my mind and my heart. I have a lot of anxiety about things coming up. This year, I will look for and create peace
Merry Yule to you all. Thank you Bex for such a wounderful year. My word is heal! Love and blessings xx
Wishing you a healing year and beautiful holidays 🫶

Great word! Have a joyful 2025
I have had a difficult year with financial struggles, garden/ farm failure, physical and mental burnout and then last month a tragic death in my immediate family. I needed this video today. I am feeling grateful and hopeful for the year ahead. My word is Thrive. My garden will thrive, my bank account will thrive, my physical and mental wellbeing will thrive and my beloved family will thrive. Thank you for taking the time out of your life to help me improve mine.
@ladyofthewest I hope you have a prosperous 2025 and beyond
Funny I picked Transformation as my word for the year and as your video goes on you say how much you love guiding those in the dark.... I just wanted to let you know you are being my light as I once again head into the unknown 💕
"PAUSE" is my word for the year. "Pause" for gentleness, for kindness, for mindfulness, to centre, to ground, to notice,to breathe.
Amazing! Slowing down and noticing what is all around is truly magical
Listening to you talk about stepping back here to do more on insta, I felt tears well up. My brain was like this makes sense but my feelings reacted differently. I think it's because I felt so unwelcomed on that platform (not even people being mean most the time) but something about the platform/algorithm was hostile to me.

Community is so important - modern society seems to tell us otherwise but it is literally what we humans are build to crave and need 🫶

Thanks!

Same to you!❤
Season Greetings to all! This was a nice challenge... The word I have chosen not just for this year but for me in general is BALANCE. I think that balance is my magical power. Funny thing, for more than a year and a half I have been carrying with me a little white stone on which I draw a heraldic symbol that I liked. Later I realised it was a symbol of royalty which actually depicted a hermin fur. It all connectect with a literature character (Hermine from Steppenwolf by H. Hesse), a character which symbolises so many thinks for me and a book I love since I was a teenager. I guess I already have my stone. Thank you for reminding me.
Awesome Thank you for a wonderful year in videos Blessed Be and Have a Happy New Year

Merry Yule! I am very excited about your Witches' Wheel project, I hope you'll keep us informed on TH-cam when you've got that up and running!
It is already up on my website and already a bunch of awesome witches signed up! We are starting the 11th of January for the year if you want to join in: the-witches-path.com/book-now/the-witches-wheel/
My word for 2025 is flow. It has been shouting at me all month and something I have a hard time doing. All the planning of a Virgo leaves little space for going with the flow of spontaneity
Oh but it is such a rewarding one! Takes the pressure off 🫶
I'm still pondering my word for the new year... after so much loss the past 4 years. I started 2024 off with covid & am ending it with a sinus infection. :( I am ready for some healing and positivity going into 2025! 🥰
I am so sorry to hear! Wishing you a speedy recovery and a much brighter 2025 🫶
Thank you for the video, Happy Holidays
Happy holidays!🌲🫶✨️
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Beautiful !
Thank you!
Can‘t wait for you to guide us through the Witches’ Wheel!!! ❤ Made my hubby gift it to me as my Christmas gift 😁😁😁
Ahah great idea!!! I am so excited to be spending 2025 with you - and very curious to see where the magic takes you 😍❤️
Blessed Yule. I hope next year is better.
I am wishing you lots of magical moments in the new year ✨️
@@Thewitchescookery Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully a new coven will form where I live so I can celebrate the sabbats more often with fellow Wiccans/neopagans (the Unitarian Universalist church near where I live hosts an Earth church for the neopagans/Wiccans but it is only hold on the 4th week of a month which can be a problem for Imbolc and Beltane). Maybe I need to ask around at the local New Age stores. Last time I looked on Meetup I got word they ended due to COVID-19.
What a beautiful video. And those SWEET LITTLE FACES!!!!! Your guidance is appreciated from all the way here in Kentucky US.
My WODY is either RELEASE or RENEW
Wonderful video, Blessed Yule! I am thinking about Connection as my 2025 WOTY since you mentionned Community. ❤
Lovely word!! And works on so many levels :)
You're so calming to listen to 💙🌚
Thank you 🫶
Wow, I'd love your recipe for those delightful orange cup treats-happy belated Winter Solstice + a merry Yule!
A merry yultide to you 🌲🫶✨️ I sinply made a mousse au chocolate with a bit of orange juice in it, filled it in the oranges and topped it off with meringue :)
@@Thewitchescookery simple maybe, but very thoughtful and decadent! Thank you for sharing.
Hi, I come from a very long line of people in the area of middle Europe. We were Pagans. We were the first Celtics and then some of us moved over to the France, Spain, and then to England, Scottland and Ireland. We later became slavic or germanic depending on where one lived. Then German, Polish, Czech and such. We have connections to the Celtic people in England, Scotland, and Scotland. We used to be the talest of people back then. We created the fabric that is called plaid. The men would put sulfer in their hair until it bleached out to blonde and stuck up stiff. We even attacked other people back then and ran after them totally naked! It was a scare tactic. Anyway. I am just a Witch. I call my self Dirt Witch Muck Pile as I was supposed to be born a girl and surprised everyone when I came out a boy. I got the power from my Mother's side but I am sure my Father's side had it as well as I am one of the few that is still 100% Czech. 5th and 4th generation in the USA. I draw from power from all kinds of places. Therefore, I cannot be labeled any kind of witch but WITCH. It is fun learning about myself. I enjoy it. It is natural and part of nature. We became Christian and Catholic later on, but those Catholic Leaders sure know how to lie to us all and then sin and cover up and hide. They get it in the end. Karma. Karma is the most "Just" power of them all. You get what you put out and sometimes even worse. Be on the good side and good Karma comes to you. My power is always used for the good. Sometimes I get so mad that I do force out a hex or curse, but that is my last straw because I know I do not deserve what is happening to me. As time goes on, the more people don't know their own jobs and I wind up having to do it myself to get it correct. When they get in the way, that is what makes me most mad. Then if they continue, the hex and curse comes out. Anywhat, Adam is said to have come from the dirt that God created and blew into his nostrels the breath of life. So us men are really just "dirtbags." Mother Earth has been good to me and I think I will keep her. We get along quite well. So if anything, I am a Dirt Witch and pull from all kinds of other ways as well. So, I am ALL OF THE ABOVE. But not from the dark and evil. I refuse to go there.
Cool 😀

My word for 2025 is evolution.
🌱 lovely word
2025 word.....PRACTICE (as in practicing more of the Craft)
Love it ✨️🙌
The dessert looks amazing. Recipe?
Oof my word sounds like something is coming... EMBRACE!
It sure does 😅 but well...embrace it all I'd say
I’m having a hard time coming up with a word for 2025. Re-do?!
Stability, we’ve had a very troubling year and found ourselves with no home suddenly and then no car weeks later. My father is being made to leave his apartment of 16 years. (Landlord wanted my unit and then my father’s back.) We’re still trying to find a place to live i just want to find legs to stand on.
Your daughter is the spitting image of you😊
🤗
♥️✨🍁☕️📚🎄❄️📻🎶🍂💫♥️
The word for me is PURPOSE, but I'm so clueless on how to pursue that 😢
Any witches have some advice for me?
My tip: sit down in silence and ask yourself where in your life you are currently feeling a lack of purpose and then start looking into those areas on how yoi can find your purpose there
What is that orange and chocolate recipe?
hy Merry Christmas everyone.. Where do you live? I from Hungraya Budapest :) Blessed be.. :)
Do you have a spell to make everything go back the way it was? I want to forget my time in prison and the reasons why
I'm a young baby witch orthodox Christian. I have a question, can I celebrate Yule if I'm a Christian?
There are many Christian witches out there :) yule in itself celebrated the return of the light with the winter solstice - so it celebrates a nature event - I Don't see why you shouldn't be able to celebrate that 🌲🫶
@@Thewitchescookery Thankyou!
MWOTY is magic......
Yesss ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️🙌
