As always thanks for watching, If you're new here - my name is Laura and I live on my 48ft narrowboat "May Moon". Don't forget to subscribe - we'd love to have you on board this journey,
Laura & May Moon x
DISCLAIMER: This wheel of the year is what many people in the Wicca/witch/pagan community follow but it is a mixed pot from different specific cultures and practises - it doesn't follow a cohesive through line. For some this means its not an ideal celebration calendar but these 8 festivals are the ones that tend to be recognised - and although they don't come from a persistent discipline I think it represents the changing of the seasons quite well.

Love the way that you gave read it from being a child, encoded it permanently in your mind and that's the way it should and will stay to have the full felt meaning of the word 😊

I honestly can’t help it haha my brain won’t let me read the words how I know they’re pronounced now - it’s too ingrained!

Hi Laura, Just found you channel! My wife and I live aboard our boat, an ocean voyaging sailboat, and we can understand life which never quits moving, often confined to very small spaces! My spiritual path - my wife is a devout Episcopalian, but we respect one another's practices - is quite similar to yours. I've been interested in The Craft since I was 10 years old or so, (I'm in my 60's now!) and have always known I was Pagan, as nature and all living and natural things have always been sacred space for me. It is in the last 15 years or so that I've felt the witchy pull quite strongly. I am now settling on a path. Anyway, glad to have found you! Cheers!

I love the Sabbats - it always seems that the wheel makes a magical chunky turn very close to the given dates. They're all well worth celebrating 💐🕯️🥞 🥰

I totally agree! It feels so nice to mark the seasons and embrace change

I love celebrating all of them to be honest, imbolc in particular is a great one , it helps gets me through my least favourite time of the year, I usually start with cleaning/ cleansing the house, treating my self to some spring timey flowers and making brigid dolls with my daughters as well as a bit of baking any excuse to eat really 😁 xx

I love watching your videos whether it is your boat life or Speaking about Paganism ... Being in the Southern Hemisphere I do celebrate the Sabbats in it's Season ... I am loving using the different Seasons of the Witch Oracles , not all of the Sabbats yet being published. Thank you for sharing.

@maymoonnarrowboat 4 месяца назад

This is one reason I added the disclaimer in the caption - these festivals definitely don’t make seasonal sense for a large part of the world and I think we should all take and use what resonates and don’t worry too much about doing it “right”. Thank you for watching 🧡

I absolutely love your pagan videos. It's so lovely to know I'm not the only one who pronounces Samhain like that 😄. I really struggle to say it the "correct way" and I had a conversation last year with the lovely lady who owns my favourite crystal shop and we just decided we were calling it Sam-hane regardless of what the gatekeepers think 😜✨

@maymoonnarrowboat 4 месяца назад

Haha brilliant! My brain will always say Sam-hane - it’s just stuck like that! Thank you for watching, this channel will be a lot more witchy from here ✨

@ossian1937 4 месяца назад

To native Irish or Scots Gaelic ears though, Sam hane just sounds either like someone’s name, or just meaningless nonsense. If Gaelic orthography is difficult for you, why not just use Hallowe’en? I’m no gatekeeper, but I do speak Scots Gaelic and don’t have any problem with folk using Gaelic words or terminologies for a bit of Celtic glamour in whatever context.. shop names, online businesses etc. However, I don’t think it’s too much to ask that folk at least have a reasonable stab at pronouncing them, instead of trying to crowbar English language orthographic conventions onto Gaelic words, and thus, rendering them meaningless word salads. If I pronounced, say Tewkesbury as “ Teh-weks -burry “ or the “Ch” in Christmas as it’s pronounced in Cherry or Tired as “Tie-red”, I’d struggle to be understood. There’s a ton of sound files online these days…eg; Twitter has “@the Scots Gaelic for “ account…it even has the Gaelic word for Witch!

@PaulB-justme 4 месяца назад

Good evening Laura! After my rather long reply to another post, I just wanted to say thanks for saying that there should be no problem with the way anyone pronounces the Pagan celebrations! You pronounced the Halloween ceremony as 'Soween' (at least that's how it sounds to me?) but I have always thought of it as it is spelled 'Sam-hain'! I know how others say it, but in my own head, it will always be Sam-hain! 😄

@maymoonnarrowboat 4 месяца назад

Same here! I have to actively try with it because my brain says sam-hane every single time haha!

Hi Laura, hope you're doing well my dear. Really enjoying following you on your journey. Just wanted to say all the best for spring, may you have good experiences and meet wonderful people on your journey. You're a very interesting person. Love to have a coffee n a conversation with you one day. Maybe we'll bump into each other on life's path one day down the road. Who knows maybe. By the way I'm a Christian. But I'm easy going, don't judge people for their beliefs. People have to find their own way in things. Bless you , you take care. ✌️😁

@PaulB-justme 4 месяца назад

Apologies for replying on this, but I just wanted to add something from my own upbringing. I was bought up ostensibly a Christian. However, when I asked my mother what religion we were (after being asked by my scout leader!) my mum laughed, and said "Well, I have tried most of them (Christian that is!) and couldn't find one that suited me!" I think that my personal beliefs come from her, as I am open and understand to everyones beliefs - I go by the general feelings that, if it harms no-one, do what you will! 😊 (I feel most drawn to Norse paganism mixed with 'witchy'! 😁)

I think the pagan year would have had 13 month in line with the moon cycles. There is evidence Sept 7 Oct 8 Nov 9 Dec 10 January 11 Feb 12 March 13 that is 364 days so April starts one day later hence April fools day because it is not April yet. That is just my opinion

@maymoonnarrowboat 4 месяца назад

I think you’re definitely on to something! It makes so much sense - and it would actually work so well, we’d just have one random spare day but it could be a “nothing” day - no date, no one has to do anything - just a spare!

@keithadams1538 4 месяца назад

@@maymoonnarrowboat I think the spare day was April fools day. The 13th month must have had a name but what?.
