Hello my lovelies, I have left some vegetarian and vegan options for everything in the description 🌞 have a blessed Imbolc 🌱

[@kateg9099]

Hello, I just came across this video as Imbolc approaches this year. I also love making the apple feeders you showed and I’m going to try making the bread you demonstrated as well. Thank you for all your beautiful videos!

[@feystruck81]

Can I use shorten over lard for the bird treats?

[@juriaan13]

I love Imbolc, make a nice bread, and ask for peace to come. Being a druid makes me stand still for things when life goes fast. Your video was perfect thank you.

[@AlwynOak]

Oh yes amazing I'm glad you feel the same. Its nice to truly appreciate and see nature as it comes and the sabbaths truly bring us into the moment 😊🌱🌳💚 enjoy making your bread and blessed Imbolc 🌱🌳💚

The apples for the birds are great idea. Ive been in the craft for 35 years and i pick a colored candle that matches my desires for the year and burn on next full moon. Merry Imbolc blessed be

What a lovely idea! I am a big fan of doing that too, unfortunatly have ran out of bees wax candles at the moment and the ones I've ordered have taken over 3 months to arrive 😅🕯️🕯️🕯️ have a blessed Imbolc too, thankyou so much ☺️💚🌱✨

[@Angel-yl1ck]

I was just out feeding my wild birds, who have come back in droves. And trimming the Honeysuckle. Of all things, you are speaking of both. As I trimmed the "dead" branches, I found the little sprouts along the branches, coming back to life again. I love the apple feeder, and will modify it a bit by using a mini fruit ball maker to scoop out the inside. I love my birds. Imbolc, for me, is the first day of Spring; As I have been watching the seasons turn for so long, And little crocus and daffodil are breaking through the ground. Blessings be to you for this lovely video. I have to say this is the BEST video I've watched on Imbolc. Love the painting.

[@AlwynOak]

Hi my lovely angel 😇😇😇 thanks so much for such a wonderful complement! I am so glad you have experienced the honey suckles sweet new life too!!

Thank you sister, Imbolc has always been special to me, both as a witch and a mother, as Imbolc is my eldest daughters birthday. We always celebrate with candles, not just on the cake, but as many as possible to light the way through dark times and celebrate the return of the sun into our lives. Blessed be Alwyn, I wish hope and happiness for the coming season to you and those you love 🥰

This was visually stunning! Thanks so much. We don't see any signs of Spring where I live. But I do spend time thinking about it, and having some traditions.

Lovely video. I have been a witch all my life...in my mind, but didn't really start celebrating or practicing until last year. I am a Green Eclectic Kitchen Witch who works with crystals and plants. I'm looking forward to celebrating Imbolc today. I eat low-carb, so going to make a Fat-head dough bread with seeds, build a fire in the fire pit and burn papers that connect me to old energies, to make way for the new. I have lit candles in many rooms and ask for Brighid's Gift.

The apples you've made for the birds are just the cutest thing ever 💚 I'm so sad that I don't have the time to properly celebrate this year, as I have an important final next week... But it is how it is and maybe the power of the returning life helps me to study better ☺️ I love your enchanting videos Alwyn 💚

[@AlwynOak]

Thankyou so much sweet!! Good luck on your final also! - I love to continue the celebration after Imbolc throughout the whole of February! So you could have your jnw mini celebration once you've finished 😊💚🌳🌱 Have a lovely week! 🌳🌿🌴🌲

Such a beautiful inspiring video love it! Definitely trying the apples for the birds, we went for a beautiful walk today and took some clay to get some prints of nature as it is now! It was lovely, met a beautiful robin x

[@AlwynOak]

Oh that sounds so cool!! What kind of stuff did you print onto the clay? Sounds like you had a magical walk! Have a blessed Imbolc 🌱🌳💚😊🕯️✨

Your bread loaf looked so homey and inviting and the bird treats inspired me to make some using my creativity, waking me from my own winter slumber and into Imbolc. Bright blessings*
