I live near the Mexico boarder of the United States and am Hispanic. I celebrate the red and green chile season for Lughnasadh! The air smells amazing this time of the year because almost every grocery store will be roasting green chile outside!
We're getting the roasted green chilies in Colorado as well.. we're closer to pueblo which is the southern part of the state. They are so good. 😋 I love looking forward to certain traditions and harvests.. especially when it's focused on yummy food's.
I don’t live in the bread basket of America, so not much wheat, soy, or corn fields, but sunflower photography has hit its peak in the northeast coast.
I'm jealous! I haven't seen any sunflower photos recently or fields but I'm traveling in a few days and I think I'll have to keep an eye open on the road sides because I think in the past there have been some! I had to order wheat stocks online. :( Covid made a lot of local options not available. They do have berry picking which is good for the sabbat but I'm not sure if we'll make it to do that
I'm in Alabama in the USA, and right now, pretty much everything in season, from apples to zucchini, though of course it's too hot for peas, greens except kale, cruciferous veggies, and strawberries. You can replant soon if you water like a crazy person and want a second harvest in October or so, but mostly we don't do that. We tend to associate late July/early August with watermelon, tomatoes, and brambleberries.
That sounds wonderful 😍 I had to leave my garden and harvest behind and it makes me so sad to think about all the yumminess that I am missing out on. I love that you can grow watermelons 🍉🤤 so yummmm
Hey, I'm Spanish, from Valencia! This videos you're doing from Córdoba are really touching my heart. It's lovely to mix your nice vlog and our Mediterranean culture. Thank you a lot!!!!
I was in the middle of commenting about how your videos are so beautifully shot (which they are), and then you made the Crisco comment and I just about fell out of my chair laughing. 😆😆😆You're the best ❤
I am so blessed that I found your channel! Seriously, your videos bring me so much joy. From the beautiful camera work, to the information you share (and how you share it), and your mischief little grins and playful heart.
great video, thanks for sharing and Happy Harvest Festival, Lughnasa etc! the bread and chicken looked soooo yummy! Loved the landscape walks and talks. History of the area, what a fun video to watch!
Definitely need to find a place where there are wild mojitos flying around… thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing and especially for your humor!!!
You are so freaking adorable 😊 You make me smile and giggle while watching your videos and learning new things at the same time ! Thanks so much for this ! It really made my day ! I will be making bread and maybe try your focaccia recipe, picking flowers from my garden for my altar, harvesting some of our tomatoes, pepper,squash and herbs for our lammas supper. This video really cheered me up as i have been going through some stuff. Thanks so much ! Happy Lammas ! 💘
Truly beautiful. As a baby witch, your videos help so much to understand what type of witch I am (Cosmic and Lunar), what tips and tricks witches should know, and of course, what we practice. Thank you so much and keep up the amazing work!
Buenos días! 😁 I love your videos full of good mood. At Lughnasadh I'll bake a very tiny bread and offer it to the gods on my main altar. Before that I walk up the only hill I have nearby. The Kienberg. 😂 I love harvest celebrations very much. Greetings to you and your family, Bex!Stay save and healthy! 🌱🌳💚
Buenaaaaas! Love the tiny bread as offering idea! And a hill is a hill hahah doesn't matter how steep or how 'magical' 💚😄 the harvest festivals are so fun - and my favourite holiday is coming up next: Manon! 🧡❤️☀️ Have a wonderful Lughnasadh celebration and much love to you and your loved ones
Galicia is my favorite area of my walks on the Camino de Santiago. When I feel homesick for Spain (I’m not Spanish, so go figure) it is Galicia I am missing. This video was an uplift today!
Focaccia recipe was WONDERFUL!!! Had to figure out oven temp and time but 400 degrees for bout 25 ish minutes was just right. Made wonderful turkey sandwitches ☺️☺️☺️ for the week. Will be making more this week. I've loved watching your channel for a while now, your spirit and spunkiness is infectious. Keep it up !!!!!
Yaiiiiih! I am so pleased you enjoyed it 👏👏👏👏👏 indeed I had forgotten to add the time and degrees but so glad you could figure it out. Thank you for your lovely comment and have a wonderful weekend ✨
I live in the middle of corn town USA so I decided to make myself some corn pancakes for lammas and they were delicious! Your chicken and focaccia looks to die for!
New subscriber! Love your channel, you are so lovely and entertaining. You brighten the darkest days! Thank you for such high energy, uplifting content. Blessed Be! ❤🤗
You are so fun! This was enjoyable. This time of year. I struggle with the high temperatures where I live. Today it is suppose to get 102° I Hate it. Thank you for sharing your celebration 🍾 of Lammas. Blessings!
Ufff that is hot indeed 🔥🥵 I can't deal with the heat well either - Germany is much more my speed 😄 I hope you find ways to stay cool! Have a beautiful Lammas 🌿🧡
So glad I popped over here, I was watching your Imbolc video but it's summer here in Australia and I just wasn't vibing with it, but this! This is the vibe! Late July in Spain is absolutely how things feel down here right now (though with a lot more rain this year) and I am absolutely going to make sangria and drink it and make a body scrub out of it before drinking it all, and go for a walk (in the early morning when it's not a billion degrees in the shade) and buy fresh bread because I might be a witch but not in the kitchen. What a delight. I'm going to go watch Mabon now so I can plan ahead for mid March ;)
Denver - or Colorado - is cowboy country, so not so much in the way of crops as it is more cattle and horses.... and prairie dogs, lol. It's hot and dry here, though a lot of people do plant vegetable gardens and there are two or three vegetable farms up north a bit. We do however have our own vineyard region as well as wineries and an abundance of craft breweries. I would love to see the Mediterranean some day - I love the food. I thought your hands were going to be stained orange after making the chicken, lol. Paprika is one of my favorite spices. I did enjoy your showing us the olive trees. I'm a tree lover as well.
Rebekka, guapa! I'm a witchling from Los Angeles who is also a Flamenco dancer and lived in Spain for four years! So you can imagine my utter delight in discovering this video with you in Córdoba. I loved the video, loved your recipes, and loved your goofing around while drinking Tinto de Verano. I am subscribing! Thank you for sharing! By the way, last year I celebrated my first Lughnasadh by making an apple pie, but the weather was so hot that day, my dough was a disaster. My pie looked like a angry, monster crab, but it was delicious. This year I have to officiate a wedding on the holiday, so I may end up buying the pie instead! Anyway, happy Lughnasadh and I wish you all the best!
Ayyy so cool! I guess you lived in Andalucía then too? Love flamenco! ❤️ Welcome to the channel, guapa 💃 hahaha I laughed so much about your description of the pie 🤣 hope this year's pie is more satisfying! Have a wonderful Lughnasadh ☀️🌻🧡❤️
@@Thewitchescookery I actually lived in Madrid, but my favorite teacher was from Córdoba! I did visit Sevilla, Granada, and Málaga and absolutely loved it, of course! Enjoy your time there!
@@mercedes.de.losangeles Oooh my beautiful Madrid! I so enjoyed living there ❤️ thank you and have a most magical Lammas with lots of dance and tinto hihi
Here in the Pacific Northwest region of the USA we've got corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, and zucchini rolling in, and the local grain farmers are harvesting their wheat. I'm absolutely making a quick bread this weekend, and I found a recipe for one with tomatoes added! I didn't know about the celebrations including hiking, so I plan to squeeze some of that in if I can.
Thank you for such a beautiful video about Lammas. Now I have some ideas for how to celebrate. I am in the Northeastern US so we don't have wheat, but we do have lots of corn which I can get at the farmer's market. I have been to Cordoba and Southern Spain about 15 years ago so it is a real joy for me to see it again in your videos, it's a beautiful place.
Grateful that this popped up on my feed. I instantly subscribed! Im 8 years in the sacred Valley of Peru This past July 4h. Its sooooo confusing trying to celebrate. Our year is exactly opposite. We are in the middle of the cold season. just lost alot of crops to a hard freeze. Just manifested an office so need a huge calendar to help me organize and not miss opportunities. Im a kitchen witch. Have a majical kingdom with animals and organic gardens ( small farm) My boys actually hand built me a stone castle as they say im the Queen tee heee. Will be trying your recipe next week ! Love and blessings from a very chilly day in Peru
Welcome to the channel ☺️💚 ooooh I always wanted to visit Peru! So sorry to hear that your crops were destroyed 😥 how cool that you got a castle built hahah that is the sweetest thing ❤️ and I do hope you get your office! I don't know if you know the panda planner but it is an awesome tool for planning! I think I showed it in my Imbolc vlog ☺️
Here in the southern US we are getting harvests of summer vegetables and fruit still. Tomatoes, corn, squash, okra, melons, peppers, etc. Have not celebrated Lughnasadh yet, still learning about these things.
LMAO - I just found your channel yesterday and I've already binge watched half your videos... you crack me up!!! I can only imagine you fluttering around the streets in front of your camera lol You're amazing! Its currently Lughnasadh in Australia.... I've never been drawn to a lot of our native plants etc so I just embrace my Irish, Scottish, English and Norwegian ancestry and have symbols of that culture on my altar :) I do sometimes harvest wildflowers from around here though!
Bekks I just love all of your content! Such beautiful scenery.glad you out ran the wild dogs! Your chicken and foccia looked delightful. I love green olives, it's in my Italian blood.you are so much fun!!! You go girl..sit in that kitties pool and drink mohitos!
Awww thank you! 💕☀️ That dog was soooo scary - and I am actually quite terrified of wild / guard dogs 😱 olives are delicious - especially when nibbling on them sitting in my happy place (the kid's pool) with a cool drink haha have a beautiful Lammas!
I've been following your videos for some time and just love them. This year we are throwing a Lughnasadh party for our neighbours so I came back to watch this video for ideas. I plan on serving oven-fired pizza on my sourdough crust, sourdough bread, homemade cheese, and crop harvest (store-bought sadly) fruits and veggies. For amusement, we'll do some spinning (I'm a spinner/weaver) make cornhusk dolls, then throw axes late into the evening while washing everything down with wine in our drinking horns! Thank you so much for your channel and brilliant ideas!
Córdoba looks good on you 🥰 I am living vicariously through you and your videos and loving every minute! Thank you 🙏🏼 Luis’s reaction to your goofiness in the bloopers is priceless!! 😂
Thanks lovely! I enjoy it so much here (well, except the heat and my hair exploding into a frizzy mess) ☀️🧡✨ hope you have the most magical Lughnasadh and chat soooooon ❤️
How lovely to have stumbled on this video.... I noticed your accent and said to myself....ist sie deutsch?!!? Tagsächlich....ich bin seit 1979 in den staten....aber meine ganze familie ist noch in der Stuttgart area!!! Auch eine küchen hexe und practicing pagan für über 40 jahre!!! Your video is fun, lighthearted, informative and REAL!!! No witchy theatrics but genuine witch lore, love love love... you definitely have another follower!!!! Here in New Jersey we have similar weather as home so wheat stalks, sunflowers are used for lughnassad decorations and on the eve of lughnassad I make my bread dough, let it rest overnight and bake lughnassad morning!!! A small piece as an offering during Ritual and consumed with a Lughnassad dinner in the evening!!! Tschüss!!!
I am in fact German - from the Oberpfalz! 😄 Wow you have been in the states for quite a while - is it difficult to have family so far away? And yaaaih, I am so excited you enjoy the video 🧡 welcome to the channel! Mmmm... Fresh bread in the morning is the BEST. Hab ein schönes Lughnasadh Fest ✨
@@Thewitchescookery yes I guess I've aged myself...lol....it is hard to have only my children, husband and grandchildren here... again aging myself..lol ... but I see my family back home and we constantly communicate, modern technology!!!! Just lovely to know my motherland is embracing us Witches and that there are genuine Witches like you... not those Halloween ones I have a hard time resonating with!!! My German folklore upbringing with ancient inspired Celtic spirituality, is my practice and your videos echo that with laughter, levity and fun!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂 girl CRISCO in the bedroom you made me spit out my tea you kill me loved seeing little man he's so cute I love the video sending you love and light and a ton of blessings love you sister 🤗💖😘
Hihi sorry for the spilled tea 🤣 little man is getting such a nice tan - I am super jealous haha sending you much love and have a beautiful Lughnasadh ❤️
you are the most amazing person. I absolutely adore your videos you wonderfully silly beam of light whom I have the honour to share in. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience and most of all your Self. Sending so much love
This is the most fluid video you have made. Your videos are always amazing but as a fan for quite some time and fellow film maker, this is amazing! Also great info which I love about your channel. Happy first harvest wave! Love from the US.
@@Thewitchescookery yes! I will be honest this holiday is one I basically wave at and do honor but in a much more internal way. But I do want to share what it is like in the US and what I notice with the plants. There are small little changes and abundance is rich! I made a kitchen witchery spell and wild berry muffins for the families of my preschool in honor of the earth and will share that too! Excited.
@@Thewitchescookery Thanks from r being my fan as well! The building I am working on is going well so far! All this magick is helping and overall my mindset is positive! I am figuring out Patreon to jump back in this week sometime! Love your recipes! Can’t live without them! Anyone reading join Bex’s Patreon. It’s awesome!
Also Olive is so helpful. She is antibacterial and I used her a lot when I lived in Spain. I got a mild food poisoning from baby turkey poop. It was a mild liver poisoning and I used olive leaf to heal me as well as apricots! Xo kiss Spain for me. Want to hear more as you live there.
Love the ending, I needed to smile today. Watching the videos in Spain makes me miss it. I was an exchange student over 20 years ago and have never been able to return.
@@Thewitchescookery Madrid. My host father was the principal of the school. He always came into the classroom and called me his little princess, everyone would laugh.
Thank you for this, dear Soul. I will be making this bread with my Witch Mama this Sunday. We have a whole day planned to celebrate together. She raised me as a witch and we still practice together. It feels so good to have things like this recipe to bring to her as she brought things like that to me.
@@Thewitchescookery Dear lovely person, I have made your bath scrub today, my mother is in the shower trying it now. Also, the bread is in the oven, it looks and smells amazing, thank you so much for the recipe. We will be eating it tonight with traditional Swedish lobscouse made by my wonderful Mama who is second generation Swedish American and third generation Irish American. We have been burning orange candles all day to manifest abundance and we plan to do an oracle reading later. Thank you so much for your recipes, they have added splendidly to our Lughnasadh. You are a gift to me. Emma
I just had to drop a note. I just discovered your channel as a new baby witch. Your videos are wonderful and so helpful on my chosen new journey. This video gave me so many chuckles (in a great way!). Thank you for this and your content. The focaccia bread looks delicious btw. Happy Lammas!
Another wonderful vlog❣️ I was checking my garden to see what was ripening and discovered I have a couple of yellow squash ready to pick. I think I'll make some squash bread (normally I'd make zucchini bread but didn't get any planted). Maybe make squash "tater" tots (no potatoes) to go with the roasted chicken. We have storms rolling in and the temps are dropping from the upper 90's today to the upper 80's tomorrow. So baking is definitely in my future. Lughnasadh is also the 5th birthday of my great grandson, so I can "secretly" celebrate. Have a blessed day 🌞
Oh yummmmm - I love anything with yellow squash 🤤 the squash tater tots sound awesome - I ll need to try that! Also, happy birthday to your great grandson 💕🌻
Discovered your channel a few months ago and just wanted to say I love it! Informative, interesting and fun. Your latest video has to be one of your best. I adore the Pagan festivals, and Lammas is one of my favourites as I love the summer. BTW I live in the UK 🇬🇧 North East England on the coast.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment - so sweet of you 🧡🌻 I enjoy the summer / harvest holidays too - my favourite one, Mabon, is coming up next hihi much love to England from hot, hot Spain
Ooooh will you be doing a Mabon vlog? That will be good. After a heatwave earlier this month, it's now freezing and wet in UK, pls send us some of your lovely Spanish weather 🌞🌞
@@joanjacksonjetfirej absolutely! I do one for every holiday ☺️ (I think I also did Mabon one last year - it was my first pagan holiday vlog haha) so sorry to hear about the weather - sending some warm Sunrays your way right now 😄☀️
Aww I’ve just discovered your channel and I’m so happy! You are so simpática!! 🥰 so absolutely beautiful and useful to me as a little witch living in Spain ! So inspiring and it’s like fresh air! Thanks a million!!!
I'm French but of Italian and Morrocan descent, so definitely gonna try some olive ancestral magic tjis summer. Also I think the word you were looking for was "anoint" but I love the mental image of smoking the king like a fine piece of charcuterie 🤣
Loved this video! Brought some warmth and happiness into this stormy day! Normally we celebrate Lughnasadh by spending the weekend at Castlefest, a huge pagan and fantasy festival with lots of music, food, laughter and at the end a huge wicker structure which is ritually burned. Unfortunately, due to covid, this is the second year where it is cancelled. I plan on burning my special "bonfire candle" anyway and baking some bread. I have a lot of polenta left, so I'm going to try my hand at some polenta muffins (wish me luck...) haha
🧡 so happy to hear! Ooooh Castlefest - how wonderful! Hopefully those kind of festivals can happen again next year 🤞🤞🤞 yuuuumm, polenta! Never tried to make muffins with it but would love to hear how your turned out! Have a beautiful Lughnasadh
