[@kendallpedersen7067]

This is my first witchy celebration that I’m going all out!!! Technically, I celebrated Beltane, but I didn’t do anything as I was sick. So this is my first real celebration. I’ve been cooking with an abundance of lemons (what I have plentiful of right now) and herbs, lighting candles and just having a good time.

[@Thewitchescookery]

❤🎉 awwww that is so exciting!!! Have the most magical time, lovely ☺️

[@PicnicForOne]

What a beautiful day to have shared with us all! Thank you! I have gained a lot from your seasonal celebration videos and look forward to developing my own traditions here in north central US far from the fairy home of my ancestors but filled with magic nonetheless.

[@Thewitchescookery]

I am so happy to hear that! And I am sure you will find your ways to connect to the land you live on and find the magic in all seasons of the year 🤗✨

[@christinanemetzdejewski525]

I am always so happy to see your posts! They are so calming, colorful, informative, and well made. I appreciate the time you take to share with the world. I hope you have a truly wonderful day,!

[@Thewitchescookery]

❤ awwww that is so sweet of you! I really appreciate your comment!!

Thanks for letting me join you! It was a wonderful day with the goblins and a lot of wandering around the area with too much sun and too little water. Would totally do it again. 😄😂

[@Thewitchescookery]

Ahahahah indeed 🥵☀️ next time with sunscreen 🤣🤣

THANK YOU

[@Thewitchescookery]

My pleasure :)

[@Loris88Angels]

Ah there you are!❤️

[@Thewitchescookery]

Hihi indeed 😁

[@Thewitchofwildlife]

It's raining all day here in my region...🥲 It's sad that I can't enjoy the sun today, but I know the earth needs the moisture, and she brings rain when she needs to quench her thirst. So, I'm trying not to feel too down about it, but I can't help but feel a little bummed. I can still show my appreciation in other ways. 🔆🌻☀️💛🏵🌟 Edit: AND A HAPPY LITHA TO EVERYONE!!

[@Thewitchescookery]

Here it is raining too!!!! 😵 But it hasn't rained in a really long time so I am happy for the plants and that my rain barrels will fill again hihi hope you can find lovely ways to celebrate indoors ✨

[@Thewitchofwildlife]

​@Thewitchescookery Thank you! 🥺 I'm all the way on the east coast of the U.S. We get plenty of rain here. I'll try to bake something nice! You and your are a joy to watch! Happy Litha!

[@lisarenaegillespie4998]

Same here in NC. Plans in the garden later will be postponed. But Happy Litha and I loved the video! Thanks Bex, I needed a Sunny boost!

[@manipura_sun]

I love the little bonfire, how cute! Happy Litha!

[@Thewitchescookery]

My son stole it and is now 'camping' in his bedroom 😄 he even asked for marshmallows... Happy Litha

[@verahabanera]

So excited to be celebrating Litha for my first time this year, especially with such kind guidance! Just a note--It's actually not recorded anywhere when Jesus was born. The story involves shepherds being out with their flocks, though, so it's generally thought he was born in early spring! There's really no reason at all for Christmas to be celebrated when it is (other than supplanting winter solstice celebrations, sadly)!

[@Thewitchescookery]

True that! It's not quite correct in the video for the sake of brevity. From what we can gather now the birthday would most likely have been in June - the birthday has been set at a later date by the early church

[@verahabanera]

@@Thewitchescookery (sorry for being nitpicky! 😅🙏 Now that you say it, it makes sense to simplify that for brevity)

[@TC-mb2dl]

love the fairy light fire! I live in an apartment and have no access to a "real" bonfire- this is such a lovely in-between.

[@katoutthecoffin8788]

Left things a bit late this year but I can certainly do this! Been making some flame/sun inspired jewellery in the workshop so it technically counts :) X

[@Thewitchescookery]

That most definitely counts!! Sound lovely ✨

[@vickyredfern1800]

Happy Summer Solstice!

[@Thewitchescookery]

Same to you!

[@Kats_Tea_Time]

Happy and Blessed Solstice to you! 🌻☀

[@amyc2116]

The indoor bonfire is genius, and so inspiring

It's very hot here in Louisiana USA for the solstice but I'm grateful it's tolerable in the shade for a bit. I'm looking forward to trying to make the bread from this video. It looks wonderful! Thank you so much!

Coming back to your videos reminds myself to slow down again! Thank you for these wonderfully relaxing videos filled with all the wisdom I need to hear ♥️

[@profsalam524]

What a lovely and welcome video. I was looking at the chamomile and yarrow in my garden yesterday, thinking about a quiet way to celebrate the summer solstice. I will have to try the mini bonfire craft as well. Thank you!

[@CashKelly57]

The portable bonfire is such a good idea!!!!!!!! Loved the video, as usual 💜

[@brookes5999]

That soup looked so good especially with the bread! Happy summer 🌞

[@anastasiaw594]

I graduated from high school a year ago and now I'm in university, and if in a decade my current friends and I won't giggle together like that, then what's the point? But seriously, I really love watching videos that people shoot with their friends. They are full of energy and brightness! 🖤

[@sparksoflight5022]

Thanks sooooo much for the sunshine coming from you!!! Happy Litha!

[@amandakucsera]

my boyfriend's brother was born on june 25th, 6 months from and to Christmas. He gets a present every six months!! Haha, and my bf's bday is June 5, and whatever day his birthday falls on "Monday, etc" that's when Christmas will land on. :) Love the Omega symbol at the end....I learned of it after my friend captured a photo of an Omega sunset over the ocean..Happy Litha!! I was actually able to collect all these herbs and remember what you said from last years videos....Love the addition of your friend in the video. Such fun vibes. SUNNY!!

[@julievanarends3702]

Blessed Litha to you! I’m so happy your friend was there to celebrate with you! I’m really hoping to be able to attend one of your retreats in 2025!

[@Thewitchescookery]

Thank you!! We had so much fun 😄🌄 and I would looooove the get to celebrate with you at a retreat in the future!! Happy Litha

[@kathleenroberts7972]

Thoroughly enjoyable as always. Enjoy your friends good company. Our lithia is rainy and thundering. But I have a friend who's birthday is on the solstice so celebrating her turning 90 today! Imagin?! Wow. Blessings to all.

Blessings of Litha/Summer Solstice from Seattle! I only wish I knew more about edible wild plants that grow around here. This also would have been my maternal grandmother's birthday; she represents the English/Irish branch of my family, and made the most awesome candy (among other things)... :)

[@paultodd7806]

Hi, Glad to see and hear you’re over your bug/illness and see you at your best. I know I said I’m sceptical ‘which I am’ but I’m not where you’re concerned as you always lift my spirits. Would love to have a long chat with you over all these festivities on a historical note as I’m very interested in the old way’s or folklore. I know a lot of women were unfortunately tortured and put to death in the old day’s when all they where guilty of was using nature to help healing. I was brought up Church of England and not into a very religious family, I think by the time I was 10/11 ish I’d started becoming atheist which got stronger as I have got older and seen what religion can do. I have in the last two years been studying Nordic/Germanic old beliefs and gods. I fully appreciate why the old Saxons and Vikings believed what they did when they did before taken over by Christianity. I have read the Havamal and a lot of it seems to speak volumes to me then anything the bible has. I do think the way they celebrated seasons, life and death and the venerated their ancestors was/is the best way to live. I hope your retreats go from strength to strength Bex’s as I do believe you help a lot of ladies😉. Ps If we ever did have a long chat I think I’d try and get you to say herbs as much as possible😉 or as you say it “Erbs” 😂 I’m sure there would be something in Deutsch that I would say would make you laugh or smile🤣don’t ever change👍

[@gregorymoon]

Thank you. That was amazing, I am still learning but picking up a few things on my own spare time.

[@evelyneweissenborn8231]

It is so interesting how the church used the festivals of the people to gain a foothold in their lives. How the stories in our history overlap one another. The church would also build churches on top of sacred pagan meeting places where for centuries people would gather to celebrate the changing seasons. But let us always remember their history! Blessed be everyone. 🌞❤

[@CrimsonWolff]

Thank you for such a wonderful video, Bex! I hope I can do another retreat next year. I was sick for Litha this year, but I just changed jobs and maybe my body wanted a reset. I will use the inspiration from your video this weekend! You and your bestie are so cute!!! ❤

[@elizabethsmith3416]

Oh Bex you made my smile this Solstice morning 🌄 . The sun is shining here too. There is nothing like the taste of field strawberries 🍓 so good. Chamomile my fav. I'm looking for some healing herbs for my little feline with gingivitis. Thank you so much ❤

[@jenlynpat257]

Always brightens my day to see a new video from you ready for watching. My favorite is listening to the way you talk about food and your passion for what you do. Still holding out hope for a Witches Cookery cookbook in the future ;)

Oh that's lovely! We don't get blackberries until August but we will get raspberries next which are my favourite 🤤

[@RaineInChaos]

@@Thewitchescookery very nice! I grew up a country kid who lived on blackberries, but wild raspberries don't seem to be much of a thing around here. I've run into them one or two places. Sad because they're my daughter's favorite as well!

Oh my gosh, I use to take the kids to the farmers market and get fresh strawberries. After dinner I'd blend together strawberries, vanilla ice cream, and a dash of heavy cream. We would sit and watch our favorite movie with the best milk shakes on the planet.

[@Thewitchescookery]

That sounds sooooo good!! I haven't made a milk shake in ages - have to do that with my son soon

[@Greye13]

I love strawberries 🍓- and blackberries too 😋- and also that whimsical little indoor bonfire. What a wonderful idea. I would really love to know what is that creamy soup you made? It looks so delicious. Merry Solstice and many blessings to everyone. Much love. 🌱☀🌻🌞

[@Thewitchescookery]

The soup is a mixture of red lentil, veggie broth, coconut milk, green pepper, onion, garlic, potatoe and a random selection of spices 😂 happy Litha!!

[@Greye13]

@@Thewitchescookery Thank you so much! That really does sound good and I love coconut, as well as the milk and water. 😋 I might just make this for tonight's meal, as well as the Litha bread. Oh, now I'm hungry. 😂 Best wishes Bex, and thanks again. 🤗 🌱
