A Pagan Rite for Good Health and Abundance | English Tradition of Wassailing

As the Yuletide season comes into full swing here in the Northern Hemisphere, we begin to partake in the festivities of our traditions and ancestors. This week I thought I'd share one I incorporate into my magical practice. Thanks for watching!

I’m in the U.K. & we still Wassail our orchards here in Kent. Lovely to see you incorporating it into your life. Fantastic foraged haul 😊

[@theredheadedwitch]

ah, I love that! My husband is from Derbyshire, and he had never participated in it. But, he also didn't grow up around orchards!

Would love to see a home tour ❤️

I loved hearing about this English tradition! I live in the U.K. and I have been discovering its magic most recently in the last few years. I'm from Italy and have always had more of a connection to Italian Folk Magic, BUT something is calling me right here where I am and I'm keen to explore it. Thank you for this magical video my lovely!

That's so amazing! My husband is from England, and learning about the many local traditions and just how different they are based on region is so amazing to hear.

@lina, I just moved to the foot of the Alps in a small village! I would love to learn about Italian Folk Magic!

[@linahearthen]

@@deltonmcclary7341 I'm from the Alps too ♡♡ I grew up in Verona, where abouts are you? 🥰 I would love to connect and talk more about it!!

I have some questions! Feel free to use any of them for your video! How has your clothing style or other adornments like jewelry and tattoos changed this year? Does it connect to your practice? You mentioned you go to therapy before. How has that informed your practice this year? You have over 5k subscribers on KZbin now (Woohoo!) How has documenting your practice on social media impacted it? Let's pretend spiritual resumes are a thing. What are your accomplishments from this year related to your craft? Which ones would you list and why? How does the music you listen to impact your practice or vice versa? You shared a lovely poem with us in this video and seem to have a real knack for interior design. Do you use your practice to nurture your creativity? Do you keep a grimoire/book of shadows or anything similar? Why? What is it like recording (or not!) your practice?

[@theredheadedwitch]

Ahhh, I love these thank you so much, Wren!!

[@Megacosms]

What was something you did as a kid that was witchy that you didn't realize was witchy until you grew up?

[@theredheadedwitch]

Ohh, love this thank you!

Wassailing the fruit trees is not 'pagan'. The earliest reference to the custom is from Kent in the late 16th century - 1000 years after St Augustine's mission first arrived in the then Kingdom of Kent.
