First-let’s all agree that your videos are a work of art! A visual experience I have to enjoy viewing at least TWICE (the first view I’m simply carried away by the beautiful cinematography, the second view I can appreciate the intense value you pack into your content). I grew and dried a number of my own herbs this summer and you’ve given so many delightful recipes I can’t wait to try. I’ve been trying to get away from incense for the reasons you shared and this is very doable!

I am absolutely adoring this 21 days of Yule. With how hectic everything has been for me, this little bit of joy really makes everything so much better. Listened to your other days multiple times yesterday whole drying orange slices and make a yule log. It's the little things, right.

Excellent guide to smoke cleansing, thank you for all the alternatives and how to DIY.

I loved how you repurposed a broken vase. Absolutely genius ❤

I am absolutely obsessed with your videos. You have such a happy way of explaining everything you’re doing, showing us in such beauty how and tbh, I’m a sucker for good history. You don’t hold back on educating us on the traditional reasons why these things are done. So much fun watching your videos and all your beautiful baking and decoration making. 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you so much for these gorgeous videos and the joy and fun you're bringing to us during this difficult time in the world. I'm loving your channel and learning so many new things! Thank you also for checking in on your neighbor, it means so much right now. Blessings and good health to you and your family. ♥

You 100% deserve more followers your videos are amazing and I’m absolutely obsessed but is it selfish of me to be happy that your not big just yet because I love your interaction with the people that do follow and how you’re the actual real deal. I’ve learned so much from you!!

Every day when I make my To-Do list I put, "Watch Bek's yule video" on it since you started this hashtag. You are enchantingly addictive, my friend and the best part is that you're not a fattening treat! I use my herbs in recipes but, also, grind them and mix them when I make candles or infuse oils for salves.

Wow I love this video! The sound and visual is so good!

I just love the intro for these lovely videos!

Your videos are not only informative, but beautiful and so much fun with your charming personality! I'm so glad I found your channel, I've been really getting into the festive spirit thanks to you!

Cleansing negative energy, I could use some cleansing that's for sure! Aromatherapy is wonderful and I especially love the simmer pot👍! Another wonderful video on The witches' cookery!!!

I have the same heart mold, which I use to make chocolates :) The candle at the end looked very foresty with the sticks arranged around it :)

As an open wiccan I've done things but I'm doing a love spell went to a wiccan store now I know I have to burn the herbs with an incense I got everything a crystal when I was at the store I gave the workers a big hug very friendly people I'm nervous but calm also love your voice your so calming!!!!! Bless-ed be and merry meet!!!!

Hi Bexs my favorite love doing my herbs smudges it smells so wonderful I love my herbs and thank you so teaching how to make the cones I was very interested in learning how to make them one of my favorites is Dragon's blood incense I loveeee the scent and sandalwood basically any scent that has my beloved herbs in it lol have a blessed night love and light 💖😘🤗

I’m glad clicked this video. Time to binge watch. The fresh fruit pots....yassss yassss yaasssssss! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Your videos are works of beautifully crafted art! Stunning!

Lovely video and thank you including smokeless and low-scent alternatives. I used to use smoke cleansing a lot, but have recently developed a chronic respitory condition which makes it impossible (thanks covid...) So I'd been struggling, but these look like they could be easy to carry out! You said you would leave a link for your love diffuser, but I don't see it?

I always get so excited to see your uploads I had to drop in and say Oye,~ how great you are- lol ..keep up the amazing work♥😊 Blessings to you my friend

One of my favorite mixes for Yule or when my spirit needs that warm happiness is cinnamon and all spice.

I had to make time, I need a Bex Happy Place fix, lol. Dear Bex! (commenting as we go :D) In my lineage the island folk practice of 'smoking' a space or person was very much a combo of healing and spiritual/ritual workings. They weren't seen as different. Mama would smoke the house before major pujas/rituals, we also did it for clearing the space of spirits that were unwanted, and setting up guards and protections, but also as you mentioned for offerings to the ancestors of blood, land and Spirit. We also did a malju body smoke and/or oncha (honestly, I don't know how to spell any of these, our tradition is an oral one so I'm using the best phonetic wordings I can🤪) which I will probably share in the new year ;). I started making my own incense a few years back because I have such a sensitivity to the toxic substances and artificial scents in so many store bought ones. It's also when I discovered that even natural herbal smokes can hold natural allergies for you as well, so contra indicators can still exist :) I did some research before I started and went the Japanese way. I was already familiar with some of their practices when I switched to using Bamboo charcoal and white rice ash for burning loose incense :), so Makko is my base. I love those three different coloured ones you made! Okay I better keep watching so I can find out what they are! --- Scent sensitivity, yeay! Thank you for mentioning that, heehee, totally smiled :) --- Thank you for the tips on cleaning the sieve! I was wondering how the heck yours looked brand new! heehee. --- And also, thank you for noting that the term smudge stick should only be used to refer to First Nations practices ;). LOVEEE the Peruvian music!! --- Okay love, I am going to send you some bamboo charcoal. The disc that you use, if I am correct is a fast lighting or basic charcoal disc?? Those ones are very toxic as well. (sorry, heehee, mama bear's protective fire has been ignite ;) --- I'll add a few Bamboo Charcoals to your Yule/Bday gifts I am sending in the spring ;) I have a post on my Blog about the various benefits of Bamboo Charcoal but will do a video on that as well in the new year! --- Another tip you gave that may seem common sense, yet soooo many people forget to do this, is open a window and insure there is proper ventilation! Not just for the sake of your lungs, or to release the intentions, but for the science behind it ;). YES! I so loved your simmer pot video! I make sprays as well, especially since moving back home as mom does have issues with even the natural incense I burn lol, -- It was the main ingredient in my myst that sent your package back to me grrrr, lol, so I am trying to figure out which of the items I can resend with the other surprises I am buying for you :D ❤🙏🤗 --- I love your multipurpose burner/diffuser! We have all metal ones here, but I like the wood and ceramic look of yours so much better! Okay, on to the next... Chocolate :D xoxo Kayla

This was a wonderful video. Thank you!

I've been looking for just this kind of information for a long time now--especially info about cleansing materials that Europeans used for purifying/cleansing one's living space (via smoke or not), equivalent to Native Americans' use of sage bundles. I have a couple of those, but I'm looking for information on what people used in Europe, as this is much closer to my ancestral cultures. Thanks very much for this video; I'll likely have to watch it several times to absorb all the content! :)

ive never seen someone burn herbs this way before 2:10. it makes sense just never seen it! Ill have to give it a go myself someday :) Loved hearing all the history behind burning herbs as well.

Thank you. Great advise 💖❤ xx

Thank you so much!! This is very versatile, excellent quality content on so many different aspects of this topic. Totally worth watching. I'm going to subscribe to your channel. 👀😍 Also cool to see that you are a fellow German witch. 😎

Yes I love them!!!!! I wish I could live in Europe!

Hello can you show us how to make a prosperity / money box?

I love this

NON SMOKE TIPS Did you people know that you can boil herbs as well? just using water and herbs on the stove? make sure that if you have animals, to use ONLY herbs that are safe for your animals to consume, please read about how the herb are behaving after consumption for that animal, for example lavender can both regulate your stimulation system AND overstimulate it. for an instance the dosage for a small dog diet is a pinch a use - and if you blast your house with lavender smoke, that could be harmful for them and make them feel very uncomfortable and even intoxicate them to the point of poisoning in rare cases, sometimes animals can have an allergic reaction to some herbs. so please be honorful of your housemates AND your herbs of use, their guidance of use is very helpful and brings context into their magic. I throw one small fistful of herbs like lavender, rosemary, and chamomile to cleanse my home, you can also add a pinch of sage to give an extra oompf, and a cup of water into a boiling pot, turn the stove on the lowest setting, and it will humidify your place with a nice aroma!

Hi, whats the name of the brownish/burnt orange flowers are you using to make the flower smudge? Also what is the name of the flowers wrapped in the orange ribbon?

What a grate video!!! Thanks :-)

I’m enjoying this series so much even if I’m a year late haha Can you use the metal candle warmer thing the same way that use use the wooden one?

Can I ask where you got the sieve and candle burner?

Thanks!

Hi tolles Video, danke

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC

Super.....

😃

Am I able to burn eucalyptus leaves? Just wondering I have a garden and want to use some but don’t know which ones I can. Thanks for video

When cleansing should I open a window or take some smoke out is it harmful to me because legit in feeling dizzy as we speak I might have put to much smoke in my room

hi! super video! ich hab das gefühl, dass du deutsche bist :D wo bekommst du deine kräuter her? ich hab leider keine möglichkeit, die selber anzubauen und weiß aber auch nicht wo ich frische oder getrocknete kräuter herbekomme :/

i really need help. I’m just starting off my journey with herbal magic and the book that I have mentions thyme and it’s properties. And right now I really need to make thyme infused water, but I don’t know how to. Do I just boil water with thyme in it, or do I just put the thyme in water? I’m feeling unwell and the book says “make an infusion of thyme in water, let cool, and use to cleanse any rooms whose energies need to be refreshed from illness...” Or do I start off with a protection spell before I do anything else? I have so many questions and I’m probably going to binge your channel for more info

Can you burn all the mentioned herbs? with some of them you mentioned to burn it. But generally speaking, can you burn any herb (for cleansing, protection or whatever the herb is intented for?)

I do not recognize the accent. German? Danish?

👍🏻

Oh what a wonderful video! Keep makin more!
