Sweet Beltane Self Love Rituals 🍓 Cottage Witch Romance

“To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.” - Oscar Wilde
Hello Wildflowers! In this episode of 'The Rambling Rose' we'll be getting all romantic and celebrating Beltane with a scrumptious breakfast in bed, conjuring up some kitchen witchery with strawberries, and making a dreamy, sensual herbal bath soak in the name of Aphrodite. We'll also be painting another page for my new book ‘Wild Faerie Magick’.
I so hope you will enjoy the video!

Yeah,Noah,he’s your guy,I see it in his body language,there is furry love,and eyes that enchant like twin moons!

[@michellecurtis7914]

I have only recently found your Channel and it is the so enchanting and beautiful 🧚🏻‍♀️ Cannot thank you enough for taking a 49 year old back to her childhood and reminding her of her inner Witch. No wonder I resonate so deeply with you as a Cancer Sun, Pisces Moon and Libra Rising! My best friends are Taurus Sun ☺️ I will be joining your Patreon for sure 🙏💫

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh Michelle! Yes, here I am, your Taurus sun bestie encouraging your inner child to come out and play! Thanks for watching, sweet soul 🥀 xx

[@charlesperez9976]

Your painting is lovely,gouache,I believe? Which makes sense,as it is both opaque and transparent at the same time,a type of language,partially hidden,yet revealing.

[@helenetaito-jensen9604]

I just discovered your channel and am in awe of how beautiful, poetic and magical your content is. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh Helene, what a beautiful comment, thank you - you have put a big smile on my face today 🥀 xx

[@ericaemmett7069]

Very much anticipating your new book! (That outdoor bath is so perfect!)

[@theramblingrose_]

Isn't it? It's probably my favourite upgrade to the tiny house so far. I love it in all seasons xx

[@jgfffffffhjiufdddj]

i am so enchanted! xo!💞 outdoor baths are my favorite thing!

[@theramblingrose_]

They are just the best! I can't wait to put a bathtub in my new house ❤xx

[@rhondadixon1782]

Oh Noah such a beautiful and loving companion ❤ the strawberry rolls with cream cheese looked absolutely yummy and your bath relaxing 😊

[@theramblingrose_]

It was a very sweet Beltane, that is for sure. I must try those strawberry rolls again... maybe with white chocolate next time - wouldn't that be amazing!? 🥀 xx

[@QueenAusetHeru]

The Notebook is my favorite movie ❤

[@theramblingrose_]

It's the best 🌹xx

[@theMermaidRhonda]

I am quite convinced the Goddess led me to your channel the other night and I am so glad she did! I'm thoroughly enjoying everything! Happy Beltane from this Witch stuck in Ohio. ;)

[@theramblingrose_]

Blessed Beltane, Rhonda! So lovely to 'meet' you, witchy sister! Sending Samhain magick from the land downunder 🥀 xx

[@michelepfaff5363]

I enjoy your channel, its so romantic & enchanting. I am not a witch but can appreciate it all. I do heal with herbs& make medicines. I adore roses also & grow them inside as well as my herbs...I am in an apt. Your channel brings me great joy. ❤

[@theramblingrose_]

I'm so glad, Michele, that my little films bring you so much joy - this is exactly why I make them! Sending lots of love from Australia 🌿🦋 xx

[@thecottagelibrary]

Lovely video and ideas!🌷🌸 Watching your videos between my regular job and my creative job is becoming part of my new healing routine! Thank you!!

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh wow, I love to think that my films have a healing energy. Thank you so much 🌹

[@astudyofrose5686]

It’s so nice to see such magical videos about my own home, often I feel left out as most content creators are from Europe or America. It’s giving me a new appreciation for our beautiful flora and fauna, I’m obsessed with making a moon garden now ✨🌙

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh, you will have a wonderful time making a moon garden! Would you keep a garden journal about it too?! Keep me posted 🌹xx

[@loriseeley7823]

Hello Nancy! I just found your channel and absolutely LOVE it!!!! I'd love to see a video for the herb pillow! Thank you for sharing these inspiring videos with us.

[@theramblingrose_]

Hello Lori! Lovely to 'meet' you here 😘 I will pop the herb pillow on the agenda for a future episode. I have only a few weeks left here and am running around thinking of what to film before I leave - the herb garden is one of the things I want to film! Thanks for watching, sweet soul xx

[@bronwynlandis]

That's a great idea! I'd love to make herb pillows for family and friends!

[@sparkle390]

No problem! 😂 your video s inspire me thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit

[@theramblingrose_]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching 🌼 xx

[@menfidanam]

Your videos make me dream that one day I might have my own moon garden as well ❤

[@theramblingrose_]

You can do it, Fidella! I am starting over in my new home, and will take you along on the journey 💖🌱🌼

[@jaydeblair2236]

Loved this so much Nancy! Please definitely do a video for the herb pillow ❤❤

[@theramblingrose_]

Yay! It's definitely going 'on the list' - I have way too many ideas and not nearly a big enough production team to film and edit them all (AKA its a one woman show!). I have an idea for an episode all about sleep and sweet dreams. Thanks for watching, Jayde, it means the world xx

[@libbycb]

such a calming video!! ive been loving your channel recently and would love a future video going more in-depth about australian bush faeries, im so interested to learn more :)

[@theramblingrose_]

Thank you Libby! And I love that suggestion. Summer is a nice time to film the Australian bush (even if you have to watch out for snakes!), and I'd like to film more wildlife and native herbs... let me have a good think about this one. I wouldn't call myself a faerie expert, rather an admirer and student of their beautiful ways, but I'll do some research and try my best for you xx

[@GrowingonVancouverIsland]

Very relaxing day 🌸

[@theramblingrose_]

Yes it was! Thanks for watching 🌹❤

[@Kimmypurry]

I had to replay and watch again! I'm also a Taurus Sun, Pisces Moon, Libra Rising. ❤❤❤

[@theramblingrose_]

Wonderful! We love a good pamper sesh, don't we? ❤

[@GeorginaNZ011]

Another wonderfully beautiful creation dear Nancy! You now have me daydreaming of bathing in flowers under the moon ( no bath here though sadly!) The lavender and cornflowers are abundant here at the moment, so I will find another way to enjoy their spring infused magic. Love the idea of the the herbal sleep pillow too! I've always wanted to make one but have never been much into sewing but would adore seeing what you create! Much love xxx

[@theramblingrose_]

Thank you so much, Georgina! It sure was dreamy and romantic - it's even nice in the wintertime to be in a steamy hot bath. Seems very Scandinavian to me to be bathing in the snow. There are so many things you can make with your cornflowers - even in a herbal tea? I'll get onto the sleep pillow in a future episode - working on the 'Rose Goddess Garden' one now... xx

[@thebeautyofyogaamberknight8957]

How beautiful Nancy....you have created a dreamy garden

[@theramblingrose_]

Thank you so much, Amber. I am loving the way my garden is evolving. All my lovely herbs are doing so well this year, I can hardly keep up with all the harvesting and drying. The recipe can also be made 100% vegan btw xx

[@helenfarrington5084]

Hello Lovely...Thank you for this heart soothing video...God Bless you. X

[@theramblingrose_]

Hello beautiful! Thank you so much for another lovely comment. Blessings to you too, dear friend 🌿🦋

[@TheCarlaProject]

obsesssed with your channel!!!

[@theramblingrose_]

Yay! Thank you! That means a lot, Carla ❤

[@MissEmilyRose]

I’ve just stumbled across your channel on your recent witches cottage moving video. Congratulations 🎉 It’s Beltane here in the north and this video has given me such a wonderful warm fuzzy hug for the spring so even though I am 5 months behind the posting date for this video it’s been perfect timing for me and inspiration for my own solo celebrations

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh that's wonderful, Emily! I was hoping that my older videos would get some new love once the wheel turns over in the northern hemisphere - I'm glad you found this episode like a warm fuzzy hug, because that was totally my intention! Thanks for watching, sweet soul 🥀 xx

[@HeavenlyCircus]

Magical...thank you x

[@theramblingrose_]

You are so welcome! It's my please to bring the magick every fortnight. Thanks for watching xx

[@AfuraNefertiti]

This is so inspiring! Also I had no idea it snowed in Australia 😮

[@theramblingrose_]

It sure does! Our tallest peak is Mount Kosciuszko and it is blanketed in snow during winter 🥀 xx

[@AfuraNefertiti]

@@theramblingrose_ sounds beautiful!

[@bronwynlandis]

I am a Libra Sun, Pisces Rising, Gemini moon and I love your placements! I have over 500 houseplants in my personal collection and I take care of about 7,000 plants a week as a small business. Wish we were neighbors so we could exchange witchy tips and plants!

[@theramblingrose_]

Oooh those are all my favourite signs that I get along with best! Wowwww that's a heck of a lot of houseplants, Bronwyn! You must have the fae magick in you, for sure 🌹xx

[@elizabethstreeter2145]

I am enjoying watching your videos and would love it if you published your diary or a plant diary similar it looks stunning the snippets you are sharing,your videos are fabulous

[@theramblingrose_]

Thank you, Elizabeth, what a lovely idea 🥀 xx

[@lovelifementoring5399]

Beautiful ❤

[@theramblingrose_]

Thank you so much - nothing quite like a pamper day, is there?!

[@GardenFairyPrincess]

I love you so much🥹 I just found your channel recently and it is my new favorite. I love your garden and bath tub and your voice and everything 🎉 I was wondering what kind of paints you used in this video bc I am learning and they look so squishy and fun and vivid? I love your sign too. I am a Cancer Libra Libra so your vibe resonates w me. Love it all. You are so inspiring and grounding! 💞💗💖🪷🌻

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh darling, what a lovely, kind comment! So much love back at you, soul sister! I must say, I LOVE your username 💖 I use Miya Himi gouache - I think I might have linked it in a few descriptions. I love it because it can be thick and opaque or transparent, depending on how much water you use, but I would prefer it come in tubes, because mixing colours uses up so many brushes! Thanks for watching xx

[@GardenFairyPrincess]

@@theramblingrose_ oh thank you so much 😍 I will try some of those paints. They look so fun. I got my user name from my boyfriend actually bc he calls me garden fairy 🧚🏻‍♀️ haha I love gardening and envisioned making a youtube one day but get a little overwhelmed learning how to use the camera I got, which is now collecting dust😅

[@marlenemulrenin8552]

First view, first like. Cool!

[@theramblingrose_]

Yay! Thank you so much for watching. Marlene. Hope you enjoyed it! xx

I love your videos! Do you make all of your own clothes? ❤

[@theramblingrose_]

I wish I did, but no, most of them are from Oak Meadow or Falkreath the Label ❤

[@KelliePixieAshton]

I know what I’m making today. Holy crap ❤❤❤

[@theramblingrose_]

Haha love this! Ooh, I'll have to get that recipe up on Patreon ASAP. Just trying to get a million garden jobs done before the rain starts AGAIN! The dough was super fluffy and scrumptious! Thanks for watching, Kellie xx

[@KelliePixieAshton]

@@theramblingrose_ Yeah the rain is doing my head in. We've had a few gorgeous sunny days here in NSW where I am for a while. We were blessed with BEAUTIFUL warm, sunny weather for our coven Beltane this weekend! I dare say it won't last long haha

[@theramblingrose_]

​@@KelliePixieAshton Your celebration looked amazing! I sooo wish I could have danced around the maypole with y'all xx

[@charlesperez9976]

I would love to dance with you,but I don’t know how to dance! Plus,I live thousands of miles away,not condusive to such an encounter,sadly. I can daydream and night dream about it,we could swirl! A music suggestion: I’m sure that you are familiar with the mighty Kate Bush. Please listen,no less than 7 times,the song ‘Night of the Swallow’. It takes time to extract Kate’s highly stylized vocals,but I would be interested in hearing what you think of it,as I believe it will speak to you. 🥰

It’s Ostara today in the US Happy Mabon

[@theramblingrose_]

Happy Ostara, Leah! I so hope the daffodils and tulips are popping up already and brightening your days. Thanks for watching xx

[@ericaemmett7069]

So this morning, I frisbeed some toast at my kids, bashed a handful of sunscreen onto my hand and wildly smeared it over them (as they nonchalantly stretched and draped themselves around the lounge room, waking up slowly, not a deadline or a care in the world), herded them into the car, dropped them off with my coffee in hand and raced in the fast lane to arrive at work with two minutes to spare, with Dom Dolla Miracle Maker cranked to get me pumped… This. This is a beautiful change of pace. The kids had it right, it’s a gorgeous summer day in Tassie. They’ll do their bush kinder, cook some damper, then kick off their shoes after school and dirty up those school uniforms as they catch crabs and find shells at the beach opposite the school. Again a perfectly timed video for me; on our local Buy Nothing group I was gifted a bunch of beautiful dress patterns for my daughter, so I’m finally going to expand my life skills and use the bag of fabric I got 50% off at Spotlight three years ago 😄

[@theramblingrose_]

Wow! I just googled that song, Erica. It's going to be my new favourite 'pump up' song, I believe. Yesss, get that dusty sewing machine out, my love! I've already planned out my costume for next Samhain (Halloween), and I'm going to sew it all from scratch... nervously excited for that craft project to come to life!

[@recyclecouture]

Have you ever thought about writing a faery cookbook? With illustrations or course

[@theramblingrose_]

Wowwwww! There will be recipes in my upcoming book 'Wild Faerie Magick' but a Faerie Cookbook sounds AMAZING! What a great idea - putting it on the list! Thank you 🥀 xx

[@hirunijayasinghe8027]
