Magical Start to 2022 | pagan traditions & folk witchcraft & manifestation techniques
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Start witchy into 2022 with this new year witch vlog! Today I am sharing some fun folk witchcraft traditions for you, covering divination, kitchen witchery, and even pagan origins of the new year's resolutions. Did you know that back in the days, people would swear them on a pig and die if they couldn't fulfill their new year's oaths? I bet that was a strong motivator though xD
Anyways, I hope you find some inspiration for your new year's eve celebration in my New year ritual in which I greet the new year and make peace with the past.
Personally, I don't not believe in making too big of a fuss of new year's resolutions but I definitely believe in manifesting your dream life and great achievements, happiness, and goals for 2022 through scripting techniques and a spread-out approach to managing your resolutions. Plan the witches' wheel of the year with me and discover other fun new year's traditions and customs!
Happy New Year everyone and thank you for following along :)

I was encouraged by your comment, Shannon, and decided to make this cake too. Mine turned out a little dense and I didn't cut my sauerkraut into small enough pieces (I'm not the best at kitchen witchery). But, it was delicious and I'll definitely try making it again! I stirred some self-acceptance into the frosting for that added witchiness. Thanks, Bex!

@@jenparrilli2803 yes chopping the sauerkraut took some time and a lot of concentration for me because I am accident prone in the kitchen. I expected it to turn out a bit different than our version of a cake, it landed somewhere between cake and brownie for me. But I like eating it with my fingers and it worked out quite well. Fantastic picnic dessert.
I hope everyone has a blessed & magical New Year!

Remember, you don't have to learn everything at once. The Craft can be a lifetime study if you want that. And you don't have to know and do everything. Pick one thing that interests you, like herbs, and explore that for a while. Once you get the basics, try adding crystals or whatever. Make your craft your own.

Happy New Year Bex!!!!...Sauerkraut and Chocolate Cake?!??!! Wow totally magical and amazing and only on the incredible The witches' cookery!!!!
That was really inspiring and useful. As a pagan, I don't usually do anything for new year's eve - apart from a favourite film or two and a glass of wine or three! - but there were some lovely ideas there. I don't do resolutions but I do have a few goals of things I'd like to do during the coming year, which I write on the blank page at the back of my diary, then I can see if I've managed to do them or not by the last day. I find that to be a lot more positive than trying to give anything up or make myself do something that my heart isn't into. I love the idea of making little sketches for the seasonal calendar in my diary. One of my goals for the year ahead is to get back into art again, so that fits perfectly to start off with. Thank you very much and hope you have a wonderful new year. 🌸
I love seeing the German version of the Llewellyn calendar! And I made a similar cake years ago. Your video inspires me to make it again.
Thank you for brightening my New Years Day❣️Many Blessings to you and yours!

I'm sorry if this sounds a bit scary to some xD, but I need to say it cause the whole boar thing surprised me. In Romania (and I think other Eastern Euro countries, but don't quote me on that lol), we still always sacrifice a pig each Christmas, which we eat in all possible forms until New Year. In some areas they draw a cross with the pig's blood after sacrifice on the children's foreheads, the kids will also climb on the pig after sacrifice and act like they ride it. It's supposed to help kids grow strong and healthy, make them lucky, protect from disease etc. On New Year it's traditional to eat an aspic/jelly made of pig trotters, ears, skin and meat with a lot of garlic, plus more pork in all sorts of dishes. lol I know it may sound kinda too much for some, so again, sorry lol, but well, I am fascinated how this tradition was kept here and is common in other areas of Europe. Ah, also, sauerkraut is a Christmas/NY tradition here too and yes I love it too! I need to try that cake recipe! XD
Making that cake today!!! You are a delight!

I remember dripping hot wax from candles into ice water with her but, only when my parents weren't around. haha Such fun memories! Thanks for another grand video, Bex!!

I’ve always wondered why my family has pork and sauerkraut on New Year’s Day!
Another great video! I just had to come by and say that I was introduced to the lead oracle reading by some friends a few years ago! I live in Seattle, and I met my friend and her husband who were in the US for a few years from Germany. They had us over for New Year's Eve and we all did this, although I don't know if it was with lead or tin, but definitely one of those. It was the year I got pregnant and had my first child, and I remember we all thought my oracle looked like a baby boy. They also introduced us to another German tradition, which was watching this old movie, Dinner for One. Do you do that as well?!
