    I recently moved to California from Southern Canada and I'm really struggling.. much more than I expected.. with the lack of snow and general sense of Yule/Christmas that I'm feeling right now. Thank you for this video, it really cheered me up

      @brennalayne6251 Před rokem +1

      Oh, I hear you! I relocated from the mountains of Virginia to Southwest Florida a year and a half ago, and I have struggled with the lack of winter and autumn. It's summer all year here, which some people love--but I didn't realize how strongly my spiritual practice and entire worldview are tied to the cycle of the four seasons. I hope you will be able to find new magic and beauties where you are now.

    I'm so envious you've had snow. Cold, frosty weather is so exhilarating and enchanting to me.

  • @anrim7537
    @anrim7537 Před rokem +2

    For me, winter is a terrible period that you just survive. Cold, depression, lack of sun, fog, greyness......if I could I would sleep through every day of winter. As a green witch, it's hard for me without my garden and life in nature. It's like as if everything was put on pause.
    But this year I decided to find at least one positive thing in all of that and it's a little easier that way. I understand that Nature needs rest, just like me, and that there is no spring without winter. I decided to try my grandmother's recipes, read books I never have time for, and use the cold to bond with my family.
    So videos like this are great for me, especially on a gloomy day like this. Thanks from 💚

    I miss real winters, and snow. I miss having four seasons in general - but I'm happiest in autumn and winter. Living in Florida makes it hard to get into the spirit of the season (we're still running our air conditioning lol). I do try though, by bringing as much "autumn" and "winter" into the house as possible through my seasonal altar and other decor. Thank you for sharing 🙂❤

    Thanks for sharing. While part of me enjoys the bustling and chaotic nature of the holidays and winter, there's the rest of me that prefers to snuggle up with a nice cup of herbal tea and either a good book or a nice crochet project as I watch the snow fall outside. We've already had our first snowfall but it melted away. I love the winter in all its coziness.

    And for my baths, I reuse the little sachets that crystals, necklaces, etc come in and they work perfectly! I like the idea of an old sock. 😊 they also make biodegradable tea bags for witches who might want to make these ahead and have a few ready, with easy clean up! If you are struggling with mental illness, I suggest a purchase of those. They're on my "someday" list, because it is sometimes hard to get your tea strainer or sachet perfectly clean. You could designate a few sachets to specific ingredient blends - would be good for colored sachets. My wife and I both love baths and have mental health issues, I wanna make a few ahead for Low Spoons Days. 🙃 if you feel overwhelmed by the details somedays, it would be good to have a few in an airtight jar, so you could just drop one in as needed.

    I so love this💚 this year I moved southward for the first time, and am having to contend with a winter that hardly warrants the name. With the days still bright, the temperatures still in the 50s and 60s (Fahrenheit, and like summer to what I’m used to), and no snow or rain to be seen I’m having a very difficult time associating this month with the strong comfort and joy I usually have this time of year.
    Seeing videos of holiday coziness and winter testing helps curb my longing🥰🌲❄️

    • @Thewitchescookery

    Thank you very much for your beautiful video, even watching it gave me a cozy feeling.
    for me christmas was always a very specific smell, of oranges, candles, innamon etc. A small candle burning in the endless dark, that never seems to go away during the day. Or a warm cup of tea, while standing outside in the fog and maybe even a snowstorm knocking on your window :)
    This christmas gonna be very different for me because ive lost some members of my closest family, but this is why traditions are even more important. Because in the darkest hours there is always a light burning, letting is know that the light is not far away.
    Have a lovely christmas and be careful not to burn down your house with candles :)

      Ya know. While I hate driving in the snow and such I don’t mind it overall either. During the summer months it seems we are out and about late into the day with little time for relaxation. Winter kind of forces that a bit. Perhaps there are some super busy times (at least for me as I host both family sides for the Holidays) but overall there are many early nights.
