I’ve been feeling very lost and out of balance for the last couple of years. You’ve been very helpful. I’m a 55 yr old grandmother, and I’m finally pursuing my interest in witchcraft. Any more tips would be greatly appreciated.😊
I feel most connected spiritually when I’m in my garden and have my hands in the soil, even better if there’s a light rain. The smell of soil mixed with rain is magickal. I didn’t get to do a spring/summer garden this year but planning my late summer and fall garden now. I can’t wait to get back into the garden and be able to do a daily walk visiting the plants 😊
My hubby is an atheist and for a while was having a hard time understanding why my spiritual practice was so important to me because he struggled trying to relate. But once he understood how much it was connected to my emotional health and mental well being he started to gain a bit of understanding. Now whenever I make a comment that I'm off or emotionally down, he gives me hugs and kisses and asks if I'm about to put my witchy hat on, lol. I totally agree with this whole video. Very refreshing to hear someone be able to put in words how I view things.
It’s uncanny how one of your videos arrive just when I need it as I’ve been doing a “reset” this week. Just this morning, I was rewatching your morning routine for inspiration. I came back from a morning walk and saw this in my feed. Thank you! 🙏🏽
I want to give a big hug to all the fellas who have to deal with daily anxiety, bipolarity and/or depression. Living is hard enough for us, and you being here show how incredibly strong you are in constantly trying to challenge yourself and better your life. You are an absolute hero. Since a steady practice is often too draining, I incorporate witchcraft in only one task a day, and it has to be something I already had to do. For example the thing that helps me the most is listening to sounds to clear the aura, or the self, while showering/before doing work/after lunch. My practice must be zero energy, maximum reward, for my own health.
Your videos inspire to start and begin my new chapter of finding out my spirituality. I think I did what most beginner witches/baby witches do. I did a lot of research on basic things like Wicca & Paganism. I have even made my own altar and started collecting herbs. However, lately I've been feeling spiritually down and my mental health has declined a lot. It's not only my body that craves a new beginning, but my soul. I love how you mention that you need to dig deep into yourself, get to know yourself, know what makes you happy or sad, recognize what doesn't feel good or does feel good. Without knowing your true authentic self, I feel like that can create some distance between you and your own spirit. Thank you for your beautiful video's and your thoughtful messages. They are a breath of fresh air and sunshine. Thank you
Super important topic!! For me it's a lonely evening swim in the lake and a walk trough the forest afterwards at the moment ☺️ It just makes me feel so alive, grounded, happy and inspired, so it's kind of my summer spiritual routine 🌻🏊
Saaaame!! But I never seem to find lonely time at the lake - the other day I went at 04:30 in the morning, and had like 3minutes alone there before the first people showed up 😭🤣
The three things I try to do daily are meditating, journaling, and reading. I'm also learning to be kinder to myself, and I try not to be super hard on myself if I miss a day. I suppose that in of itself is also part of my daily practice.
Hi Bex. I was so happy to see that you posted today. I’m having a hard time right now and your videos always help me to take a moment and focus on the little things. Things I’ve somehow managed to forget. Much love to you and your beautiful family. 🥰🌈☕️
I don't have a routine especially but I recently realized that even when I "forget" about the idea, it naturally comes back into my life. I guess I can thank nature (which makes me think often magic all the time and is so pretty ) and candles (I adore them ^^'). In the end, it's the little things that makes me want to feel connected and usually they always come back when I need them the most =)
I feel so connected when I’m outside with my chickens. Mostly they are skiddish but a few will come up to nab treats from my hand. It’s hard to be out with them once the weather gets cold but I try to be out as much as I can. Tomorrow as we carve pumpkins I will be out with them giving them the guts. They love them.
I'm at the beginning of my spiritual journey as a beginner witch or "baby witch". So far my studying has created such a sense of comfort for my inner child. I have always been a overly sensitive soul that needs some healing and being a witch has called to me on many occasions. I definitely appreciate your videos and am binging many of them. keep doing what you are doing. 🐢🌾✨
Swimming and walking are two of my best nature connecting/spirituality activities. We have a wet lands (protected nature area) near me. I love to walk there whenever I can. I also find soaking up moon light is something that energizes me in a spiritual sense. Thank you for another lovely video!
I’m so here for the Alice in Wonderland vibe of the blue dress and headband! 😍 Speaking of -coff coff- wands…that’s the personal time I’d been neglecting and started adding back into my days. So much better mood when my chakras are aligned in this way 😊 felt guilty about me time before but it’s needed and trying to allow myself that time again
Ohhh I love that compliment hahah now that you say it - yes, definitely Alice! Thank you 💗 And you are so right - some Wandmagic is definitely important 😄👍👍✨ one of the prime examples for alignment of body, mind and soul
This helped me a lot, thank you. When I first started out ages ago, I was so dedicated and always had some sort of magickal thing going. That waned as I got older and my lifestyle changed. I try to give myself grace about that... anyway, I always seem to get very riled up about it in the spring and then it wanes in the late summer. I think it's because everything is dead from the heat, and I am not a person who enjoys the heat. I live in Texas so it gets unbearably hot... anyway, this year, I am trying to create an enhanced practice, journal as much as I can, pull an oracle card or two daily as often as I can remember or carve time out for, and spend mornings outside with my plants rather than scrolling through junk on my phone. I only take my phone outside as an alarm to remind me it's almost time for work. That has helped me a lot and I am also working on a way to adjust that as the hotter weather comes, so that I can continue a practice that is versatile, and one about which I don't get discouraged if I miss a day, or even a week, due to circumstances or my mental state.
This isn't talked about enough. Being raised in a brainwash cult, it was really hard to find my own feet and walk my path confidently (I still trip). It took a long time to accept myself and others for who we all are differently and the indifference you have to all is inspiring. I wish more would share the spirit of inclusion and acceptance.
Congratulations on your baby you carrying them close to you must be so connecting I always wanted to be a mom it must be such a beautiful journey. Thank you so much for this video it’s as always beautiful xx
In my case, sleeping in nature is something I need to do at least once in a month. When I get tough days (after working as therapist, for example) I spend half an hour or more at the beach. I am blessed by living by mountain and sea side, and home is my daily temple. Meditation and developing pyshic abilities are the core of my spiritual path. Art, nature and stories. Not all who wanders are lost.
That sounds wonderful!! A combo of mountains and sea is what I would love - hopefully one day I can convince my partner move to the north of Spain 😄 and indeed - love that last quote!
@@Thewitchescookery North of Spain is Gorgeous, I found it really similar to Ireland. I would love to live there too. Catalonian Pyrenees are specially lovely (Arsèguel for example), as a recomendation, but all north is amazing. You can find castros and magical stone rings in the middle of the small forests on your walks. I live in a tiny town near Valencia, and the weather is better for agriculture and growing fruit trees than in the north nowadays, but is getting hotter as years go by so north will be the best option in some decades I guess. I love to feel and believe that seawater connects us all (northern Spain, Ireland, Valencia and countries all around the world ...) and we can travel in spirit through the waves with a selkie song or riding the huge sea serpents. Have a nice week you all!!
Thank you so much for sharing your witchy wisdom on spirituality. Love the fresh, broad perspective. I think it's a very accessible message that empowers others to look deep within when developing a practice, grounded in very practical advice. Much gratitude
I love you going to market. Wish we had the choices of fresh foods to choose from as you do. Going to each vendor and getting fresh foods would be so elevating. It would put so much more magic in the food.😊
hello from a long-time watcher / lurker! thank you for sharing your beautiful videos. you are my favourite channel on youtube and i find the wisdom you share so impactful in my life. every message you spread has such a huge influence and i am so grateful _/\_ xxx
It definitely is beautiful finding your spiritual journey. I have always felt each day was different an because of that felt guilty for not doing a consistent routine. I appreciate you taking the time to chat about it an it actually reaffirms my path. It's ok to have a routine that changes day to day. The one thing that always stays the same is taking care of those in the house (pets kids husband lol) every morning 🌄
I feel you - I think tlwhat most people struggle with is that common misconception and therefor the feeling that if they are not doing the same routine every day they have failed it. But it is of course completely normal to have different needs (and wants) from day to day. (And yeeees, here the taking care stays the same too hihi so I try and spice it up with magick 😄✨)
thankyou for this much needed boost of inspiration you are so very positive and this is something that I aspire to have a more positive outlook. I also I love that you say it is ok to have a routine but it is also to change it and it is ok not be so strict. everyday is a new day after all :)
LMAO @7:40 You're so cheeky, I love it. in all seriousness this is yet another insightful, educational and beautifully-done video! You're amazing 💚 Blessed Be
This video is a lovely reminder that sometimes a small ritual act which feeds my soul can help me feel a little more in control when living in uncertain and somewhat terrifying times. Thank you, Bex, for the much needed reminder. Many blessings to you, yours, and all.
I recently received a pair of those shoes as a present from my daughter. As it’s Winter here in the SH I’ve been wearing boots but I look forward to wearing them in the Spring 🌼
I loved this video today. 🤗💕 I just had surgery and recovering well. But I’m finding it hard to focus on me and my needs. Thank you for reminding me to take this time to focus on what’s best for me and my time for healing. Thanks💕
Bex could you do a video on dismantling an alter? I always see videos of people making them, setting things up beautifully, but then I never see how people dismantle them to make a new one. I'd love to hear about what you do with say old flowers, sticks, dried out leaves, or candle ends that are no longer a part of your alter and how you refresh before setting up a new one. Thank you, this is a lovely video as always and just what I needed. And I also love seeing your dear little baby.
"Dare to free your mind from spiritual stereotypes." THANK YOU FOR THIS RIGHT HERE!!! When I did this and followed my inner child I found my garden, knitting, everything creative, a religion that makes my heart sing, connecting with the Sun, astrology, Tarot, studying herbalism, wanting to have a farm, music and plopping my happy booty in the forest to chill (weather and critters permitting!).
I'm grateful to find A Witch that is spiritual. I know the true Witches of Old were spiritual and wise women. Many channels by Witches or Wiccans really don't understand the earliest roots of what True Witches of Old were about. Thoughts and words create positive or negative energy. I myself and thousands of other people have learned the importance of meditation and how it can connect not only to the spirit within but to a Universal Consciousness. Neutral positive thinking is the key to this meditation. Witches of old were 'very wise women' with a great deal of knowledge about health, illness and healing. They were the bearers of a folk medicine based on natural healing methods, including life-energetic methods, and their affirmation of life and the emphasis on pleasure were also expressed in their ecstatic rituals and celebrations. Like the Druids of old, the Witches of Old felt connected to the flowing life energy within themselves, could connect with the cosmic energy, (I'm sure you know they referred to 'the great goddess' aka The Universe), could let this energy flow through them and have a healing effect on others. They lived a form of spirituality that had not been possible in the frozen and male-dominated structures of the church for centuries. The most amazing knowledge I learned is witches knew how to prevent or avoid pregnancy when desired. So there was knowledge - spread all over the world, by the way - of the effectiveness of certain plants which - for example, processed into tea and administered to women - prevented conception for several years. ( DeMeo has also compiled interesting historical and ethnological material on this subject). In Europe, this knowledge had already been taboo in the Middle Ages under the influence of the Church and had been pushed underground, where it was guarded by witches and passed on to other women again and again. So the church of old labeled witches as allied to the devil. Knowledge is power and power needs people to rule over. To repeat what the church did to witches is not worth mentioning. The Witches of old were never aligned to evil or acts of evil or to a so called devil. This is an excellent example of the "Dark Ages". To undermine knowledge that had taken many years to acquire denied the human race . It is clear to see where evil has it's roots. Through my studies the one phrase they did practice is two thousand years old, and was said like this before meditation. "My spirit, you are all-knowing, all-capable, all-wise, all-truthly and all-loving in me. Your name shall be honored. Your realm shall incarnate in me. Your power shall unfold in me, on the Earth in my body and in all spiritual realms. So I recognize my responsibility and I recognize the truth and do not lead me into confusion and delusion, but release me from erroneous assumption. For yours is the realm in me and the power and the knowledge in eternity". I hope to eventually publish my research in book form but I wanted to share this with you.
I just found your channel two days ago and bingewatched many of your videos since😄i looove them, they are sooo beautiful and sweet and fun and you have such a positive and joyful energy😊i'm just enjoying and manifesting living closer to nature🌲🌻🌺💦❤️ hugs, Urška
Your adorable personality is so fun and refreshing! I'm a newbie , I suppose an eclectic witch. I've been working with Tarot & Oracle cards, learning about crystals, gathering from nature,and reading, as well as watching You tube content. I know I've got so much to learn.. But it's in the journey!! Your children are very precious! Thank you Becks, luv from Arizona, USA, Pamela
My clay, keeps me as spiritually connected. But, I've been too depressed/stressed to do it. I keep having to battle all this negative talk of, "O, it really doesn't matter anyway" "Or it hasn't worked for you". My mind is exhausting me. Anyway, thank you for this it was a very nice video.
We are leaving the homestead to return to apartment living. It is mentally needed plus we can hyper focus on the small bits of nature we will have around the new space. Access to our local health food stores, farmers markets and closer to mountain spots that share homemade goods is our spiritual journey. Also, we will be able to go places..more places than just our backyard.
Been in a funk for a couple of years now since I lost my mom. When I stumbled upon your videos they helped me so much to go back to what I used to be interested in. Thank you! ♥️
Although I'm still chuckling over your discussion of the energetic vibrations of pork chop, I just wanted to say "thank you" for some excellent brain food in this video. :-)
Thank you so much for taking the time to share insight and your life with us. I live near a Greenway but lately it's been too hot to roam like I'd wish to. I miss riding my mountain bike ! Lol My daughter is 23 now and it touches my heart to see you cradling little loreley ❤ Thank you again! Your charming personality lifts my spirits
Thank you so much for this video :) I always keep getting drawn to witchcraft I will take breaks but always get pulled back I think I need to take the leap and follow my true path
Thank you for this video! It‘s great food for thought. I like that you point out that spirituality comes in all forms and shapes. Even though I love connecting to nature and think that my daily meditation is doing me good, I‘m probably at my most spiritual during theater rehearsals or sometimes dance classes. Both require a lot of being in the moment and are therefore grounding for me. Theatre for me is like a condensed version of life. I often find something like a universal truth in it; it feels like this beam of light that cuts through everything. It‘s also the field where I feel the most creative and I think the main reason for this is the fact that it always needs the collaboration of different people - and there always is so much to learn and to be inspired from others. Obviously, you also have to connect to the playfulness of an inner child, or acting would become waaaaaay too serious. I could go on and on about this… :)
Thank you so much for sharing this! Very lovely to hear your experiences and thoughts on it 💗✨ I also have those activities where I can feel my true self and just the connectednesss with the universe and my inner child and they are so fulfilling!!
@@Thewitchescookery The other thing I love doing at present is eating breakfast on my balcony and gazing up at the sky - that‘s the more laid back approach to my spirituality, I guess 😉.
@@miruschkac7880 heheh nice! I am currently basically living on my balcony - so what you see in the beginning of the video is what almost all of my days look like 😄
Love this (like all your videos). Thank you for sharing! But....where can I find the recipe for that pasta dish you were making? I'm salivating over here! lol
i’ve just found your channel and it’s so comforting!! i love this video so much and have been looking for something like it. i feel very distant from my crafts and spirituality and have been trying to be into it. im leaning towards a green witch path at the moment but have been looking into all these other amazing things!! im definitely going to watch more of your videos to motivate me to get back into it!! i absolutely adore your way with words, have a lovely day :))
Sehr inspirierendes Video, ich liebe all die Farben und diese Blumensträuße...soo schön! Ich bin allerdings immer so gefesselt von den Bildern (ich meine wir reden hier von selbstgemachten Nudeln!!), dass ich gar nicht alles vom Text mitkriege ;-) Aber das macht überhaupt nichts: ein guter Grund das Video einfach nochmal zu gucken. Danke, dass du uns mitnimmst in deine Welt!
@@Thewitchescookery yeah! They look so nice yet simple and to know they’re “green” is awesome and makes me want to invest! This video was lovely as always Bex! :).
Im sorry I swore at you for not posting sooner 😔 It'll probably never happen again 😏 Lol As others have said, it is always so nice to see a new one pop up from you - you change lives 😚🤗⚘
Another wonderful video. I'm so grateful that I found your channel 💜I see you reading in a lot of your videos. Do you have any witchy book recs? I'm new to the whole thing and am looking for good resources ☺️
Hello! Ich hab deine Videos echt gern und die Message vom Video ist echt schön. Manchmal überfordert mich alles und du hast mich mal wieder daran erinnert, dass ich mich in keine Formen pressen muss. Seinen eigenen Weg zu finden gehört dazu 😊 Was ich vielleicht noch anmerken möchte ist, dass du, jedenfalls für meinen Geschmack, ziemlich schnell gesprochen hast 😅
Freut mich, dass es dir gefallen hat!! Und du hast Recht - das ist mir beim Bearbeiten auch aufgefallen 😄 passiert mir irgendwie immer wenn ich nicht frei spreche sondern den Text vorlese 😅
Thank you as always for an insightful, informative and nuanced video - and can I also take a moment to say, LOVE the dress! You are a radiant summer beauty 💛
Your pasta looks so delicious. I love the markets in Germany. I can't believe how big your son has gotten and your daughter is so beautiful. I really appreciate how balanced and informative your videos are.
It was pretty tasty and I love the markets here too!! I always get so happy when I come home with beautiful produce 🤩 and thank you - I will tell the crotchgoblins hahah
I am always so inspired by your videos! I've been feeling incredibly exhausted taking care of my two small children, and this was such a great reminder to make sure I'm taking time for myself. Also, Holy Sh*t did you make homemade pasta while home with both kids?! Get it girl!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
They are little energy suckers, aren't they? Let's feel exhausted together 😅❤️ somehow I never seem to get anything done around the house with the kids, except cooking - because my older one looooves to help and the little one is content in the carrier. So that pasta making was actually a pretty relaxed moment 😅
Just found your channel of course the cookery caught my eye. Really liked your videos and suggested books. I def need advice on bread making; also rituals. Do you have an online place where i could connect to be guided to rituals, spells and recipes to your cookery?
Very nicely done video and inspirational. It looks like you have the day to enjoy your passions. Some times the greatest drain on our spiritual life is having to leave our home and go to work. How do you earn a living to support your stay at home lifestyle? Blessings to you.
Thank you so much :) I make videos for a living. Which might look very fun and like I am relaxing all day (because that's what I film) - but in reality filming every activity from 130 - 500 different angles requires a ton of switching lighting, camera, tripod, shades, lamps, microphone around) with every move and then editing a monster of a video is super hard and time-consuming. It's a 80-90 hour a work job with shitty pay 😅 BUT I get to be a stay at home mom at the same time, which is lovely ❤️
Brilliant video! I’ve been watching you for a little while now and love your energy. Totally off topic however, I would love to know where you get some of your dresses from! They’re gorgeous!
Thank you so much!! ❤️ The blue stripy one is from More&More and the pink one is from Protest - I think you can find both on Zalando (if they have that where you are)
Thank you 😊 I do feel very lucky with my home. The oracle deck is this one - I absolutely love it!!! kit.co/The_witches_cookery/witchy-yule-christmas-gifts/oracle-of-mystical-m
Dankeschön!! Ich wünschte ich hätte mindestens 4 Extratage jede Woche hihi weil dann könnte ich nämlich auch nebenbei einen Deutschsprachigen Kanal machen - aber leider ist momentan Null Zeit 😭
I would have said that cooking was my spiritual weapon of choice, but I don’t hardly cook anymore. When I bake something and take it to people they would ask me how I get it to taste so good and I be like I just made it. But now when I bake something I don’t feel connected like I used to, I don’t even feel like I cook that good anymore. Am not connect to anything anymore. I work and sleep and repeat. What a sad life.
Oh no - that breaks my heart to read!! Sounds like you are way overdue for a reset, finding some balance and yourself again. Sending much luck and love your way ❤️
Reclaimed recycled plastic shoes are positive but still have a life span and become plastic waste at the end so hemp shoes are a better long term solution if we can simultaneously end the production of the plastic bag and other disposable plastics 🙏🌏💚
I’ve been feeling very lost and out of balance for the last couple of years. You’ve been very helpful. I’m a 55 yr old grandmother, and I’m finally pursuing my interest in witchcraft. Any more tips would be greatly appreciated.😊
"cookery is my spiritual weapon of choice" I don't think I've ever identified with anything on your channel as much as this quote :-)

I live in a tiny town near Valencia, and the weather is better for agriculture and growing fruit trees than in the north nowadays, but is getting hotter as years go by so north will be the best option in some decades I guess. I love to feel and believe that seawater connects us all (northern Spain, Ireland, Valencia and countries all around the world ...) and we can travel in spirit through the waves with a selkie song or riding the huge sea serpents. Have a nice week you all!!
Such a lovely video 🥰 My practice right now is family time, lay in the sun and look at the trees, read when it's raining and just relaxing 😊
Reading when it is raining is soooo lovely and magical ✨
Thank you so much for sharing your witchy wisdom on spirituality. Love the fresh, broad perspective. I think it's a very accessible message that empowers others to look deep within when developing a practice, grounded in very practical advice. Much gratitude
I am so happy to hear that you view it that way ❤️ thanks so much for this lovely comment
I love you going to market. Wish we had the choices of fresh foods to choose from as you do. Going to each vendor and getting fresh foods would be so elevating. It would put so much more magic in the food.😊
hello from a long-time watcher / lurker! thank you for sharing your beautiful videos. you are my favourite channel on youtube and i find the wisdom you share so impactful in my life. every message you spread has such a huge influence and i am so grateful _/\_ xxx
This is such a high compliment! I am so happy my videos do that for you 🤗❤️✨ sending much love
It definitely is beautiful finding your spiritual journey. I have always felt each day was different an because of that felt guilty for not doing a consistent routine. I appreciate you taking the time to chat about it an it actually reaffirms my path. It's ok to have a routine that changes day to day. The one thing that always stays the same is taking care of those in the house (pets kids husband lol) every morning 🌄
I feel you - I think tlwhat most people struggle with is that common misconception and therefor the feeling that if they are not doing the same routine every day they have failed it. But it is of course completely normal to have different needs (and wants) from day to day. (And yeeees, here the taking care stays the same too hihi so I try and spice it up with magick 😄✨)
This was needed… thank you for talking about this.
I am so happy to hear! Have a most enjoyable day ☺️
thankyou for this much needed boost of inspiration you are so very positive and this is something that I aspire to have a more positive outlook. I also I love that you say it is ok to have a routine but it is also to change it and it is ok not be so strict. everyday is a new day after all :)
LMAO @7:40 You're so cheeky, I love it. in all seriousness this is yet another insightful, educational and beautifully-done video! You're amazing 💚 Blessed Be
I love all of your videos but I have to say, the best part of this one is from 3:06 - 3:12 🙂 precious...
This video is a lovely reminder that sometimes a small ritual act which feeds my soul can help me feel a little more in control when living in uncertain and somewhat terrifying times. Thank you, Bex, for the much needed reminder. Many blessings to you, yours, and all.
So happy it served you in that way! And yessss - I am all about those small little acts, things and rituals that make life magical ✨
I love how you are so sane, when the sanity of the world is so tentative. Thank you for this video.
I love that compliment 😄 thank you
I recently received a pair of those shoes as a present from my daughter. As it’s Winter here in the SH I’ve been wearing boots but I look forward to wearing them in the Spring 🌼
Oh what a lovely gift!! I was thinking of getting my mom a pair too 😃
I loved this video today. 🤗💕
I just had surgery and recovering well. But I’m finding it hard to focus on me and my needs.
Thank you for reminding me to take this time to focus on what’s best for me and my time for healing.
Thanks💕
Take it slow, lovely!! Wishing you a quick and easy recovery and healing 💗
I hope you're feeling better and yes, please take time for yourself!
Bex could you do a video on dismantling an alter? I always see videos of people making them, setting things up beautifully, but then I never see how people dismantle them to make a new one. I'd love to hear about what you do with say old flowers, sticks, dried out leaves, or candle ends that are no longer a part of your alter and how you refresh before setting up a new one.
Thank you, this is a lovely video as always and just what I needed. And I also love seeing your dear little baby.
I can!! Someone just asked for a more in depth cleansing and DIY cottage witch video - so I shall film that in September and include the altar idea ☺️
@@Thewitchescookery Yay!!! Thank you, I'll look forward to that.
"Dare to free your mind from spiritual stereotypes." THANK YOU FOR THIS RIGHT HERE!!! When I did this and followed my inner child I found my garden, knitting, everything creative, a religion that makes my heart sing, connecting with the Sun, astrology, Tarot, studying herbalism, wanting to have a farm, music and plopping my happy booty in the forest to chill (weather and critters permitting!).
Oh Yaih! I am so happy you had that same experience - it really is liberating ☺️✨
@@Thewitchescookery It is!
Loved this video!
I spotted the Hotel Angerer in the background during your walk. I stayed there a few years ago! Vilseck is beautiful.💗
I'm grateful to find A Witch that is spiritual. I know the true Witches of Old were spiritual and wise women. Many channels by Witches or Wiccans really don't understand the earliest roots of what True Witches of Old were about. Thoughts and words create positive or negative energy. I myself and thousands of other people have learned the importance of meditation and how it can connect not only to the spirit within but to a Universal Consciousness. Neutral positive thinking is the key to this meditation. Witches of old were 'very wise women' with a great deal of knowledge about health, illness and healing. They were the bearers of a folk medicine based on natural healing methods, including life-energetic methods, and their affirmation of life and the emphasis on pleasure were also expressed in their ecstatic rituals and celebrations. Like the Druids of old, the Witches of Old felt connected to the flowing life energy within themselves, could connect with the cosmic energy, (I'm sure you know they referred to 'the great goddess' aka The Universe), could let this energy flow through them and have a healing effect on others. They lived a form of spirituality that had not been possible in the frozen and male-dominated structures of the church for centuries. The most amazing knowledge I learned is witches knew how to prevent or avoid pregnancy when desired. So there was knowledge - spread all over the world, by the way - of the effectiveness of certain plants which - for example, processed into tea and administered to women - prevented conception for several years. ( DeMeo has also compiled interesting historical and ethnological material on this subject). In Europe, this knowledge had already been taboo in the Middle Ages under the influence of the Church and had been pushed underground, where it was guarded by witches and passed on to other women again and again. So the church of old labeled witches as allied to the devil. Knowledge is power and power needs people to rule over. To repeat what the church did to witches is not worth mentioning. The Witches of old were never aligned to evil or acts of evil or to a so called devil. This is an excellent example of the "Dark Ages". To undermine knowledge that had taken many years to acquire denied the human race . It is clear to see where evil has it's roots. Through my studies the one phrase they did practice is two thousand years old, and was said like this before meditation. "My spirit, you are all-knowing, all-capable, all-wise, all-truthly and all-loving in me. Your name shall be honored. Your realm shall incarnate in me. Your power shall unfold in me, on the Earth in my body and in all spiritual realms. So I recognize my responsibility and I recognize the truth and do not lead me into confusion and delusion, but release me from erroneous assumption. For yours is the realm in me and the power and the knowledge in eternity". I hope to eventually publish my research in book form but I wanted to share this with you.
I just found your channel two days ago and bingewatched many of your videos since😄i looove them, they are sooo beautiful and sweet and fun and you have such a positive and joyful energy😊i'm just enjoying and manifesting living closer to nature🌲🌻🌺💦❤️ hugs, Urška
Your adorable personality is so fun and refreshing!
I'm a newbie , I suppose an eclectic witch. I've been working with Tarot & Oracle cards, learning about crystals, gathering from nature,and reading, as well as watching You tube content. I know I've got so much to learn.. But it's in the journey!! Your children are very precious! Thank you Becks, luv from Arizona, USA, Pamela
Thank you beautiful mama bear ❤️ many blessings to you and your family... Love you🫂❤️( I look forward to your book... you have such gorgeous insight)
What a beautiful comment ❣️ thank you so much and sending much love
Some times i need a reminder. Your videos are great reminders
So happy to hear 🤗
My clay, keeps me as spiritually connected. But, I've been too depressed/stressed to do it.
I keep having to battle all this negative talk of, "O, it really doesn't matter anyway" "Or it hasn't worked for you". My mind is exhausting me.
Anyway, thank you for this it was a very nice video.
We are leaving the homestead to return to apartment living. It is mentally needed plus we can hyper focus on the small bits of nature we will have around the new space. Access to our local health food stores, farmers markets and closer to mountain spots that share homemade goods is our spiritual journey. Also, we will be able to go places..more places than just our backyard.
Oh that is exciting! For sure a change ahead then - but downsizing can definitely give you freedom ☺️✨
I looove your channel. It always feels like coming home which I find so beautiful! Also, the comments were just at 111 blessed be!
Oh thank you so very much! That's so special 🤩✨
Been in a funk for a couple of years now since I lost my mom. When I stumbled upon your videos they helped me so much to go back to what I used to be interested in. Thank you! ♥️
So sorry to hear about your loss ❤️ sending much love your way and many magick sparkles ✨
I wanted to start off on my journey doing this. Help myself and help others and to be a better person. Love ur videos.
How lovely! Wishing you much fun and magick on your path ☺️✨
Although I'm still chuckling over your discussion of the energetic vibrations of pork chop, I just wanted to say "thank you" for some excellent brain food in this video. :-)
🤣❤️
You're little one is so adorable!!!
I needed this today! And shared it with a friend who wants to start her own journey but doesn't know where to begin.
So happy it helped you! And hopefully your friend finds it enjoyable too 🙂 thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for taking the time to share insight and your life with us. I live near a Greenway but lately it's been too hot to roam like I'd wish to. I miss riding my mountain bike !
Lol
My daughter is 23 now and it touches my heart to see you cradling little loreley ❤
Thank you again! Your charming personality lifts my spirits
Beautifully done! So glad I have found your channel! Appreciate how you approach your content you discuss. Thank you for being here! 🙏❤️
Thank you so much! Hope you have a magical day 😘
Thank you for this beautiful, inspiring video. Exactly what i needed today
So happy to hear!! Wish you a magick-filled day ❤️
This is what i needed thank you
Thank you so much for this video :) I always keep getting drawn to witchcraft I will take breaks but always get pulled back I think I need to take the leap and follow my true path
Thank you! 💗
i swear you make the best videos ever omgg
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Goodness one of the reasons I want to move to germany is because of you because I'd love to learn from you!
You are so sweet haha 🤗
Thank you for this video! It‘s great food for thought. I like that you point out that spirituality comes in all forms and shapes. Even though I love connecting to nature and think that my daily meditation is doing me good, I‘m probably at my most spiritual during theater rehearsals or sometimes dance classes. Both require a lot of being in the moment and are therefore grounding for me. Theatre for me is like a condensed version of life. I often find something like a universal truth in it; it feels like this beam of light that cuts through everything. It‘s also the field where I feel the most creative and I think the main reason for this is the fact that it always needs the collaboration of different people - and there always is so much to learn and to be inspired from others. Obviously, you also have to connect to the playfulness of an inner child, or acting would become waaaaaay too serious. I could go on and on about this… :)
Thank you so much for sharing this! Very lovely to hear your experiences and thoughts on it 💗✨ I also have those activities where I can feel my true self and just the connectednesss with the universe and my inner child and they are so fulfilling!!
@@Thewitchescookery The other thing I love doing at present is eating breakfast on my balcony and gazing up at the sky - that‘s the more laid back approach to my spirituality, I guess 😉.
@@miruschkac7880 heheh nice! I am currently basically living on my balcony - so what you see in the beginning of the video is what almost all of my days look like 😄
I am so glad I discovered you! You’re making me want to get back to my witchy self again!
That makes me super happy to hear!! Welcome to the channel ❤️
Love this (like all your videos). Thank you for sharing! But....where can I find the recipe for that pasta dish you were making? I'm salivating over here! lol
i love the way you say tarot
i’ve just found your channel and it’s so comforting!! i love this video so much and have been looking for something like it. i feel very distant from my crafts and spirituality and have been trying to be into it. im leaning towards a green witch path at the moment but have been looking into all these other amazing things!! im definitely going to watch more of your videos to motivate me to get back into it!! i absolutely adore your way with words, have a lovely day :))
Sehr inspirierendes Video, ich liebe all die Farben und diese Blumensträuße...soo schön! Ich bin allerdings immer so gefesselt von den Bildern (ich meine wir reden hier von selbstgemachten Nudeln!!), dass ich gar nicht alles vom Text mitkriege ;-) Aber das macht überhaupt nichts: ein guter Grund das Video einfach nochmal zu gucken. Danke, dass du uns mitnimmst in deine Welt!
Hihihi Dankeschön! Ich liebe diese bunten Sommerblumen auch sehr - die Wohnung wirkt so gleich viel freundlicher. Ich sende dir liebe Grüße ❤️✨
I would LOvE those shoes. I am just so broke rn. :(. Maybe for the holidays!
They are sooooo nice! Love the slippers for all my summer adventures hihi but yes - definitely not the cheapest! Sending good money juju your way ✨😄
@@Thewitchescookery yeah! They look so nice yet simple and to know they’re “green” is awesome and makes me want to invest! This video was lovely as always Bex! :).
just found this great channel! :D
That baby!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
❤️😊 my little patata
strong spirit
Im sorry I swore at you for not posting sooner 😔
It'll probably never happen again 😏
Lol
As others have said, it is always so nice to see a new one pop up from you - you change lives 😚🤗⚘
Hahah no problem! The video was stuck in approval limbo over the weekend 😭😆 sending much love
😊
Thank you for sharing!!
🤗✨
I needed this message today. So much. Thank you!!
🤗✨ sending all the good energy your wqy
@@Thewitchescookery thank you! Blessed Be
Another wonderful video. I'm so grateful that I found your channel 💜I see you reading in a lot of your videos. Do you have any witchy book recs? I'm new to the whole thing and am looking for good resources ☺️
How much l needed this ...thank you sooo much ....🤗
🤗✨❤️
Hello!
Ich hab deine Videos echt gern und die Message vom Video ist echt schön. Manchmal überfordert mich alles und du hast mich mal wieder daran erinnert, dass ich mich in keine Formen pressen muss. Seinen eigenen Weg zu finden gehört dazu 😊
Was ich vielleicht noch anmerken möchte ist, dass du, jedenfalls für meinen Geschmack, ziemlich schnell gesprochen hast 😅
Freut mich, dass es dir gefallen hat!! Und du hast Recht - das ist mir beim Bearbeiten auch aufgefallen 😄 passiert mir irgendwie immer wenn ich nicht frei spreche sondern den Text vorlese 😅
A lovely and inspiring video
Glad you enjoyed it :))
Fantastic video Bex 😁
Thank you! 😁 How are you feeling? Better already?
Thank you as always for an insightful, informative and nuanced video - and can I also take a moment to say, LOVE the dress! You are a radiant summer beauty 💛
Thank you so much 🥰 what a sweet comment
Cool 😀
Your pasta looks so delicious. I love the markets in Germany. I can't believe how big your son has gotten and your daughter is so beautiful. I really appreciate how balanced and informative your videos are.
It was pretty tasty and I love the markets here too!! I always get so happy when I come home with beautiful produce 🤩 and thank you - I will tell the crotchgoblins hahah
This was such a wonderful video. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it ✨
I am always so inspired by your videos! I've been feeling incredibly exhausted taking care of my two small children, and this was such a great reminder to make sure I'm taking time for myself. Also, Holy Sh*t did you make homemade pasta while home with both kids?! Get it girl!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
They are little energy suckers, aren't they? Let's feel exhausted together 😅❤️ somehow I never seem to get anything done around the house with the kids, except cooking - because my older one looooves to help and the little one is content in the carrier. So that pasta making was actually a pretty relaxed moment 😅
Just found your channel of course the cookery caught my eye. Really liked your videos and suggested books. I def need advice on bread making; also rituals. Do you have an online place where i could connect to be guided to rituals, spells and recipes to your cookery?
Love your videos, keep up the good work ❣️
Thank you!! I shall 😄❤️
I absolutely love those cards if you don’t mind what is the name of them ? Blessings to you and thanks for sharing 😊
Baby so beautiful! Peace, Love and Light to you and your family.
As a friend of mine once said: Sometimes self care is a frozen pizza and a pack of cigarettes and sometimes it is a salad and a workout.
Wise words indeed 😄👍
Very nicely done video and inspirational. It looks like you have the day to enjoy your passions. Some times the greatest drain on our spiritual life is having to leave our home and go to work. How do you earn a living to support your stay at home lifestyle? Blessings to you.
Thank you so much :) I make videos for a living. Which might look very fun and like I am relaxing all day (because that's what I film) - but in reality filming every activity from 130 - 500 different angles requires a ton of switching lighting, camera, tripod, shades, lamps, microphone around) with every move and then editing a monster of a video is super hard and time-consuming. It's a 80-90 hour a work job with shitty pay 😅 BUT I get to be a stay at home mom at the same time, which is lovely ❤️
Such a lovely video. Thank you for the inspiration 🙏 ❤️
🤗✨❤️
Brilliant video! I’ve been watching you for a little while now and love your energy.
Totally off topic however, I would love to know where you get some of your dresses from! They’re gorgeous!
Thank you so much!! ❤️
The blue stripy one is from More&More and the pink one is from Protest - I think you can find both on Zalando (if they have that where you are)
Oh brilliant thank you so much 😊
What is the book you were looking at in the 1:58min mark? "The Teachings of Trees? Thank you for your beautiful videos!
I just want to reach through the screen and kiss kiss kiss your little baby! She is precious! 🤩 much love to you and your family. ❤️
Thank you so much 🥰 sending much love your way
you have such a lovely space... what are the oracle cards you are using while on the terrace with your beautiful son?
Thank you 😊 I do feel very lucky with my home. The oracle deck is this one - I absolutely love it!!! kit.co/The_witches_cookery/witchy-yule-christmas-gifts/oracle-of-mystical-m
Very beautiful
I am about wildlife. Just watching animals is soothing for me
Ich würde so gerne mal ein Video von dir auf Deutsch sehen 😊 Dein Baby ist so so süß 🌞
Dankeschön!! Ich wünschte ich hätte mindestens 4 Extratage jede Woche hihi weil dann könnte ich nämlich auch nebenbei einen Deutschsprachigen Kanal machen - aber leider ist momentan Null Zeit 😭
I would have said that cooking was my spiritual weapon of choice, but I don’t hardly cook anymore. When I bake something and take it to people they would ask me how I get it to taste so good and I be like I just made it. But now when I bake something I don’t feel connected like I used to, I don’t even feel like I cook that good anymore. Am not connect to anything anymore. I work and sleep and repeat. What a sad life.
Oh no - that breaks my heart to read!! Sounds like you are way overdue for a reset, finding some balance and yourself again. Sending much luck and love your way ❤️
Reclaimed recycled plastic shoes are positive but still have a life span and become plastic waste at the end so hemp shoes are a better long term solution if we can simultaneously end the production of the plastic bag and other disposable plastics 🙏🌏💚
💓💓💓
🤗❤️
Those blueberries are GIANT
Right? 😄 They are from a local berry field that I went to with the crotchgoblins in my last vlog hehe
Thats awesome, what a great find!
