[Empressgoth]

I love that she mentioned Vodka for those of us of age.but boy that is early in the day though.

[dizzygemini]

erm sorri but u got 1 thing wrong the witches new year is samhain but gr8 vid i love 'em all )O( blessed be

[knobylob]

@dizzygemini different traditions have different beliefs.

[dizzygemini]

@knobylob i know that but its just what i have been taught in my pagan beleifs and it just got me confused i worded it wrongly it looks like i was telling her but rely i was meaning to ask isnt samhain newyear i never ment to sound mean blessed be )O(

[Azareas123]

I had a good Yule 2010. Imbolc was special :) The energy was so nice and I wish it was snowy so I could go out and draw the Sun in the snow. haha

[Italkem]

Where is Jesus in all of this, you're worshiping the sun? is it a Christian or secular celebration?

Think about it!

[CharmingPixieFlora]

@Italkem Do a bit of research and you will find that Jesus was actually born in the Spring time. Shepherds were in their fields when he was born. In the land where he was born during the winter months they bring in the flocks in November and take them out again in March. The Winter Solstice is a Pagan Holiday but the church adopted it as their own when the folks who practiced the Old Ways and the Old Religion wouldn't bend to the will of thier priests.

Do some research : )

[BigMamaRaven]

In a way, your "Spell Stars" are similar to Krazyboytx's offering stones because they are made of biodegradable ingredients (applesauce and cinnamon, if I remember correctly). Wonderful video, thank you.

[MsKatatonic]

I don't do rituals, but still love to pay a lot of attention to the geography and astronomy of winter solstice time, and the return of the sun.

I'm so excited to hopefully truly celebrate Yule this year before I fly back East for Christmas. It's one of my favorite sabbats!

[Aishaoaktree1122]

Hey Flora i love your videos, but in Egypt the birthday is for Osiris not Ra, Ra is the sun God, he doesnt die, he changes throughout the day but he is not born nor does he die. Osiris however is a reborn God, he was murdered and dismembered by his brother Set and was found and put back together by his sister/wife ISIS, on or close to December 25th on the julian calender. after his resotration he became the God of the Underworld. Ra "dies" at sunset and travels through the underworld ....

[Aishaoaktree1122]

and is "reborn" the next morning and sails across the sky, until he "dies" again.

[HedgeWitchMagic]

Wonderful! I am so going to try some of these out Flora :)

[HarperDearMilo]

another brilliant video dear!! great ideas! happy solstice!!

[SilverNepenthes]

Awesome ideas! You're so creative. :D

Happy Yule!

Funny story: a few years ago we had a squirrel in our yard with a nub of a tail whom we called "Stubby". We think the poor thing was kind of "special"... *sigh* Anyway, one Autumn he was busy burying nuts when he just laid a walnut on the ground, covered it with a leaf, patted it down, and took off. Immediately, another squirrel came along and snatched it up! We stopped seeing him that next year, but we still think about him each Autumn when the squirrels are busy! We kind of miss him.

[KadajSweetie]

Aww. ):

I just have a family of birds who nest in my garden every year.

[JHorror13]

Hey, I just wanted to say that I love your videos and I also wanted to let you know that you should check out Tori Amos' new album Midwinter Graces. It is here new seasonal album, but it is pagan themed. For me it is really wierd being a pagan around this time of year and hearing nothing but carols about baby jesus so hearing this new album has really incouraged and inspired me spiritually. Just thought I would let you know about it and thanks again for all the great videos!
