I'm neither Wiccan nor witch, but I do follow the Wheel of the Year, and value your insights. I've worked in mental health for years, and I can attest that the full moon does, indeed, influence the mental health crises and behaviors people experience. Also, I was just in the ER last weekend, and could hear the medical staff talking about how busy it was, and how it seemed like a full moon. As Judy Collins sang so beautifully, the moon is a harsh mistress, (but oh so enchanting)!
I always knew we were connected to the moon somehow and that's really cool! Do you have any recommendations to learn more about moon cycles?
100 % ER staff hates the full
Moon, things get very hectic in a hospital during a full moon. My grandmother used to based almost everything on the moon. She will always tell me WHEN to cut my hair according to the moon. One time I didn’t listen to hair ( my hair took years to grow 😩) I’m a adult now and I only cut my hair when I know I’m supposed too. Depending what I want, longer or fuller hair. And IT WORKS !!!!!! My hair stylist tells me my hair grows in 3 to 4 months what some people grown in a full year !
@@thevegitoandgogetashow1745 When do you cut your hair to make it grow faster?
Definitely enchanting, I feel like it's exciting when the moon is full, also I was born under a full moon
A full moon on a clear winter night feels magical. Looking up to the heavens makes me feel like I’m part of something amazing. And I love your sweater, that’s one of my favorite colors! Thanks for the video.
Saaaame! Absolutely magical ✨ and thank you so much
My favorite is the new moon when it's just a little sliver in the wee hours of the morning. When my kids were young we would go out and check on the moon and the weather. It was our getting ready for bed ritual. If it was raining we would peek out the window in the door and watch the rain for a minute or two, glad we were warm and dry.
That is such a lovely tradition - I might start to do it with my kiddos! We do that in summer but it would be nice to do it throughout the year
Woah- this is so “coincidental.” I had just started my manifestion + magick (witchcraft) on the first full moon of the beginning of 2023. I’m so happy you did this video on the moons, I find it so interesting.
Awww nice! So happy it helps :))
How’s it going im trying to manifest using the moon cycles
One of my favorite ways of using moon magic is incorporating moon water into simmer pots. I feel like it gives the pot so much more dimension and you can use water charged by different moon phases accordingly with the herbs in the simmer pot and its honestly just a fun extra step too. It feels much more dramatic pouring ✨enchanted✨ water from a fancy container into the pot I feel like lol
What a lovely idea!!
Thanks so much!! :)
Ok I love this idea
@@heedmydemands thanks😁 Use it, I promise it makes all the difference!
Yes, please, a full moon video! It would be very much appreciated. Just like this one. Or every other video you have made so far.😍
You got it! 😄🧡
I just about died....'Listen up children!' ...great astronomy lesson! You're so funny Bex!
Absolutely charming. If Martha Stewart and Julia Child where witches.. lol. I can't imagine the amount of work that goes into each of these presentations. You produce the prettiest and most educational / inspirational content. And your teaching via example ... great "real life" style.
Thank you! thank you!
A teeny spell I like to do on the new and full moon; on the new moon, write down something I want to rid myself of on a piece of paper and burn it. On the full moon, I write down something I want to obtain on a bay leaf and burn that. They are basically the same spell but u can always amp it up with a candle of the appropriate color, use a magical oil or powder to match your intentions, etc. what I love about this is that I can do it even when I only have an extra 5 min to spare in my day.
😂I work as a conservator at an astronomical museum... we need to get rid of all of our fancy explanatory models and just have you explaining the moon cycle with your fists - much better! 🤣💫 ...wonderful content as always 💚
Ahahah I would take that as a side job 😄
I sympathize with Jupiter. Gassy, with wayyyyy too much stuff spinning around me all the time.
Ahahah same - especially after cheese
this is a very much underrated comment, this is also me. After having Covid for 3 days i really needed this, thank you 😂😂😂😂
@@sophiedarnell467 oh no! I hope it passes quickly and you start feeling better!
More moon magic videos would be greatly appreciated, especially for the full moon. Blessings xx
Working on it!
I always look up at the moon and am amazed by its beauty! 🌙🌙
It is pure magic ☺️✨
Lately I've started to look into Moon magick and works! That's because I've just recently noticed some unkown patterns in my behaviour: I'm always particulary emotional before a full moon, I always feel the urge to clean things before the new moon, with the first quarter moon either some kind of problem rises or I find strength to overcome past problems and with the last quarter moon I'm always trowing away something (old mindset, bad habit, physical things etc)
For me the full and dark moons are days to honor the Goddess and work magic that would benefit from a thematic "boost". The moon is so beautiful and I love seeing how others interact with her!
As always, fantastic information and entertaining content! I did want to take a moment and appreciate the consistently beautiful camera work. The imagery and scenery is always a joy.
Glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for the kind comment ☺️❤️
@@Thewitchescookery Please seek Jesus. You are walking the path to hell and are dragging your viewers down with you. Satan hates you, he wants you to die. Please choose life. Choose Jesus. Please repent, I rather you be in heaven.
Yes I love the camera style she uses ! It’s so aesthetic and relaxing for me. I love working with the moon phases !
I work in a daycare. I have seen the kids get a little crazy on the full moon. Emotions run higher and they're generally more energized.
I would love a full moon video if you have the time :)
My bigger one is aaalways cranky after the full moon, and so am I - we sleep really badly on that night usually. And yessss I shall craft a video!
Wow!! I just pulled out my moon magic books a couple of days ago! So weird how everything is coming together in the past month with my readings at home and on UA-cam and with life in general. What a great time!! Happy new year! 🥂
When I’m least connected to myself, I don’t get tarot or oracle cards that resonate. When I am in need and connected to myself, literally things are thrown at me whether it’s online, reading, art, it’s crazy how this happens every time.
So, I mentioned this book on Witch of Wanderlust channel because she made a video on using mundane things and her video reminded me of it. Since you're more into cooking, have you read Like Water for Chocolate? It's fiction but incorporates magical realism - through cooking!
I've been attracted to, and an observer of, the moon's phases since I was a child. It's a very meaningful celestial body to me. This is a lovely lunar witchcraft breakdown. Thank you.
Thank you for moon rituals show and for being a crafty 🧙 witch!
☺️🌑✨
Hi Bex! I'm fairly new to your channel, but have been binge watching your videos for a couple of weeks now😉 Loving the whole atmosphere here, mixing the magical information with folklore and lots of coziness❣😇 Your videos always put me in a joyful mood. I've always been drawn to witchcraft, but only started since a month or so to seriously dive again into the hands-on practicalities of it. It just makes me happy😍 Having a background of cognitive neurospychology, I'm fascinated by the roll of the psyche in witchcraft and also love to approach things from a scientific point of view / figuring out the science behind it :) I can totally imagine the moon having an actual effect on human beings, considering that it has the awesome power to affect the tides of the sea with its gravity for example, and to think that our bodies are 70/75 % water. It would make total sense to me. So I'm really excited to learn more about lunar magic and experiment with it😊🌛🔮 Thank you for teaching us!🙏
Bex is literally the best.
Ever since I can remember, I always feel reassured and not alone when it is the full moon. Always love your videos. Definitely interested in one about the full moon. 🌕 ✨
The end 😂 “oh my back”
I love you! Hahah
I can’t really decide on (or realistically commit to) what my spiritual beliefs are, and I much appreciate your emphasis on personal philosophies, beliefs etc, but I LOVE that you lean more skeptical it really is a fresh perspective to me! Much love and happiness to you!
Another great video! Ive really upped my moon rituals. I've making so much with my moon water and always give it to my kitties to drink
hey hey dear Stay Awsome
You too!!
Just bought (another) moon book today 🌚🌝 I love the energy and enthusiasm of your videos but this one particularly resonates with me. Yes please, would love a full moon video. Thanks for all your hard work and love on your channel 👍😍💗
the "sorry mate" got me 😂😂😂😂
My grandma thinks the moon produces its own light. Bless her heart 😂 I’m a mom of a 6 month old and my craft has been non existent ever since I became a mom and this video is exactly what i needed to have inspiration to get back into it. Thank you🌒🌕🌘🤍
I love your videos and your character, you made me laugh out loud several times in this one and you also taught me so much about the moon. Thank you. I am focusing on living according to my cycle and the moon to see how that feels.
The dark moon is also a good time for shadow work! ✨🌑 Thank you - your videos are always so beautiful. 🌒🌕🌘
You have been a magical inspiration 🕯🌜🌚 thank you.🔮💙
Awww so happy to hear ❤️
Such a coincidence! I was just yesterday wanting to learn more about the moon! Great video, thanks :)
Glad it was helpful!
Definitely interested in more videos about moon magic. I have just recently stumbled across your channel, and am loving it! 💙
Welcome to the channel! And I shall make more :))
yeay new video! we have noticed that my daughter and I dont sleep as well, when a full moon is up. therefore we have a moon calender, so that we're not suprised when our little one is up during the night
Same! I don't feel any influence from the moon at any other time but occasionally I will have a night were I cannot sleep (which is super uncommon for me) and it is Always a full moon night - usually one that I forgot about too hahah
Hiya LOVELY,I have loved the moon since I was a little bitty girl.I feel a Motherly energy.I just got back from dropping a little posy offering in the river and the almost full moon above..Beautiful!My mum used to say to me a saying_THE MOON ON THE ONE SIDE, THE SUN ON THE OTHER.THE MOON IS MY SISTER,THE SUN IS MY BROTHER.Always made me cosy at bedtime.Thank you for another lovely visit😊
Thank you bex I love how you explain things and your beautiful camera skills and your whole beautiful aesthetic xxx
Aww and thank you for the sweet comment 🥰
Thanks Bex for all the information bright New Moon Blessings
This is so informative! I am very drawn to the moon and knew how to work with the full moon but not the other phases, now i do 😊 😉 Also a thank u, as u inspired me to start my own spiritual UA-cam channel last year and it brings me so much joy. Seeing another mom do it was so inspiring ❤
You look beautiful in your orange outfit. A good start in the year.
Thank you so much!
the phases of the moon actually do have an effect on the moments in which you have to prune the plants or transplant them, etc., because it influences whether the plants have a lot or less sage
Interesting theory! I find lunar gardening fascinating:)
there's also the info that I didn't remember now until I saw this, that there are certain types of plants that dont fully bloom until the moon is out. I wish I could remember what type of plants it was, I remember one of them being in a sci-fi/suspense show called Haunting of Bly Manor. They were very pretty from what I remember though.
Yes I garden with the moon cycles it works
Yes! Love this video because most of my rituals revolve around the moons energy because I'm very connected to the moon personally. I would LOVE a full moon video as I'm most drawn to it and I'm in the very beginning of my craft and working with magical energies! Sending love from America!
Wonderful! I will be crafting on one soon then :)
I tend to cast more of my intentions during the New Moon. The Full Moon is when I see those intentions flourish. I've always had a fascination with the moon and now my daughter's share that with me. BB
Beautifully stated 🌙
My favorite part about this oddly is you using that broken brown cup as a vase instead of throwing it away like so many would -- that was a pleasant notice
I love to use broken or chipped things for decor - I think it gives them a certain charm (and of course reduces waste)
Another beautiful video, and on the Moon 🌛🌝🌜 Your video's are so cozy to watch and get lost in. A video on the Full Moon would be amazing. I've been charging water by the full moon, and giving to my elderly cat as his drinking water, and I've noticed changes in his energy levels. Looking forward to any new information you may have on the energies of the Moon 🌝 Have a most Magical Day from Florida, USA.
What a lovely idea! And very interesting that your cat benefits from it ☺️
Omg. I've never been this early. Hello Bex! I love your creativity and positivity. Have a super day!
Thank you so much! Have an awesome day too ❤️
Your videos are so beautiful, great information, and you make me laugh, thank you❤️💓❤️
Luvluvu Becks! Another great video!
Hugs from Arizona, Pamela
I don't know... I go back and forth between skepticism and a "feeling" of connectedness with the moon. (Don't know why I put that in quotes. Just "felt" like it. :) ) But, hey, the moon is a big ole hunk from the earth. Well, come to think of it, the earth and moon are big ole hunks of the universe. So, yeah, connectedness. I'll keep on making my moon water. Thank y'all for allowing me to work that out for myself in the comments. Hee hee.
You are funny!😅
Wow! Was just wondering when you might post a new video earlier today and then you come along and post a video! Moon magic! Thank you for all your amazing videos. You always brighten my day. Xx
Hihi Yaih! I finally managed to upload 😄 hope your day is magical
Every video you give us is Soooooo Wonderful🌗 & I Learn Soooooo Much🌝Thank You💛
Necklace is moon!
I love the moon so always here to learn anything there is to be said about the moon 🌙 🖤
Oh Bex I loved this. Like your grandmother I follow the moon 🌙 the old way. Gardener I am & nature nut. I trust in the animals plants & the planets including the moon. Being aware if void of course moon 🌙 is very important. Watch the Hasen this year.
wow , it is very cool to see this perspective about nature
Thank you, Bex, for another information-dense and visually stunning video! I learn so much from you. I've never done many things "by the moon" but I do find a lunar-based practice interesting. I truly wish I could participate in your workshops, but there's just no room in my budget. (Life keeps getting more and more expensive here in the USA.) ❤️
Glad it was helpful! Life is getting ridiculously expensive - here in Europe too 😔
Just wanted to say thank you for the great and informative video!! I so appreciate all you do🌙💙
Thank you so much!
You are the cutest and I love watching your videos 💞
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Beautifully illustrated!
Thank you very much!
You are so great! Your videos make me smile and they are so beautiful and inspiring. I do work with the moon phases and it feels very powerful. BUT off subject.... where do I get one of those cutter thingys you used on the herbs? That was super cool! 🤣🤪😀
Ofc I got a moon magic almanac this year and started working with it on the full moon. Nice.
Edit: for US android users, there's the Moon Phase Calendar app and it has a widget you can put on your home screen that will show you the phase of the moon and the percent of that phase :D
Great tip! Thank you so much for leaving it here :)
I love your videos🤩
What a brilliant video. I love the idea of the course. I will try to join. Exciting. Xx
Northern Hemisphere here - my mind was blown when you pointed out that the moon phases appear different in the southern hemisphere 🤯
Bex you always teach me something new and make me laugh!😂❤ Thank you!
Hihi so glad to hear
Hola! Thank-you for this informational amd entertaining film. It's beautifully produced also. When I first started practicing my Craft, I kept a journal consistantly. I noticed a definite pattern in the flow of my month that totally reflected the moon's place. One almost has to record these things to see the pattern because it all is going by too fast to just remember. Namaste
Thank you so much! And that's so interesting that you had those observations in your craft ✨
You are so freaking adorable! I just love watching your videos.
Thank you so much!!
I do like to watch the moon and I do make moon water from time to time I had to laugh when you spoke about the different hemispheres... when I moved from Australia to Canada I was so upset and horrified when I looked up and I could not see the rabbit in the moon !!!! but now after & calmed down I kinda feel happy and feel a little closer to home when I see the moon I feel that it the same sun that shines so I can see the moon and it make me feel connected to my loved ones in Australia on the other side of the globe... lol I don't know.... it makes sense in my head 😋
I would like to see a full moon video, please and thank you. Thank you for all your videos. They are welcoming and inspiring.
Coming soon! And thank you ❤️
Love your explanation on the "dark" moon vs "new" moon I feel the same way, if it's dark it's a dark moon!😃 when you see the first sliver of light - its new!!!!! 🌑🌒
Love this
That back crack at the end sounded so satisfying! i hope it did you a lot of good!
Hihi it did sound like it helped - but alas I am still rolled up in a ball on my floor, feeling 10000 years old xD
@@Thewitchescookery sorry to hear that, I can very much relate... I would kill for an epsom salts bath right now! I hope it's sorted soon, my thoughts are with you
I am happy your videos are not MOONdane.... ha ha So, thank you for your videos. They are so great. I love listening to you talk - I don't want to guess wrong or assume that you are German although I've seen you holding what looks to be a lot of German books and the way you pronounced some words with a "v" like the word "witches" - but I love your accent. You are very informative and always have interesting topics. I especially like this video because when you spoke about your grandma, it immediately made me think of my grandma and grandpa (my grandpa being from German lineage) and they never did anything that wasn't in accordance with the moon. Luckily, they taught me how to live by the moon cycles as well, and the knowledge they passed along has not gone to waste. I don't even rely on the weather channel for my weather information - I know what the weather is going to be like based upon observing nature, such as the birds and livestock. Loved this video so much.
thank you for your wonderful videos
Thankyou ccc
I love your videos! I watch a lot of UA-cam and your the only video that I nvr fast forward to. Editing is so good and u get to the point. Thank u for your gift 😊
That is suuuch a high compliment - thank you so much (from someone that also always fast forwards videos or plays them at double speed 😅😅😅)
I love the illustrator of the tarot card u placed against ur little mirror! I noticed it right away. I have one of her Oracle decks and I’m not even that into reading the cards but was so drawn to the imagery. I love all ur ideas in this video. Thanks for sharing with us! U always make me laugh so I really enjoy when I see u have posted a new video.
I'm a Lunar Storm/Sea Witch 🪄
Those seem to be a wonderful combination ☺️
Thank you for another WonderFull video 🙏🌞✨
Glad you enjoyed it
Would love a full moon video.
🌜🌕🌛✨ I enjoy your humor, recipes & learn new ideas from you. I have always been drawn to the 🌙 moon & night skies. Love dusk to see the 🦇🦇🦇 come out. Can you please post the moon app you mentioned? I cannot find it. Thanks 😃
There are several studies that support the belief that the moon indeed has an impact, physical and emotionally speaking. The tides are higher when the moon is full because at that time the gravity from the moon and sun are pulling together on the earth. Moon cycles and menstrual cycles also have a connection in many women. The moon in astrology represents our emotional self, so the sign and lunar phase at birthtime gives us some guidelines about the phsychological traits and possible emotional manifestations, even Carl Jung used astrology as a complementary tool. I think that most beliefs related to the moon aren't just faith related, they're are based upon secular experience. The different moon cycles pinpoint many things in nature, and by observation we can identify that. Most of us today just don't have the time...at the present moment we live in a society that doesn't incorporate the natural cycles, because all cycles have an inactivity, introspective, resting phase...and we have to be always productive, productive...
Most definitely - there is anecdotal evidence for all of that :) in my video I am referring to 'belief', when I speak about moon magick - meaning, the theories that the moon has effects on certain spell work, spiritual, household or self-care activities :) (for a better understanding of what I am referring to, here an example from my personal life: I very much feel the effects on my sleep on full moon nights and do sometimes suffer from insomnia. However, I don't necessarily feel a difference doing a banishing ritual on a waning Vs a waxing moon night)
You are so great! I am definitely signing up for your classes.
The "HUA" at the end of the video really made the whole video for me 😂😁
so many flowers in video 🤍
🌷🏵️🌻
Loved this. Love working with the moon. Would love to learn more on cooking and eating with the moon 🌙 🌚 😋 ❤
Your videos are exceptional! Thank you!
If you look up the Institute of Physics article about the moon’s impact on earth and everything on earth right down the seasons changing, to the life cycles of many animals and fish, to the fact that the Earth would wobble right off its axis and become dangerously unstable without it-I would say that the moon isn’t to be taken lightly. We owe it a lot in our lives. It has considerable influence over life on this planet-including our own lives. It literally grounds us and keeps us stable. The whole thing could come unhinged and fall apart without it. Not to mention that if you really look at it in the night sky-it has its own magic. Any person who ever looked up at it in the night feels something deep inside while staring at it. It has power. It has influence. It has made humans feel a certain way since the dawn of mankind. Maybe that’s just me, but I’ve always felt it’s power from a young age. It feels very comforting. It reflects light at us when we have none without it when sun isn’t in our sky-wherever we are in the world when that happens.
Yes, I was feeling a little lonely today yet when I looked up at the nearly full moon I said to myself Dont be lonely the moon is always with you, watching over and protecting.Just my thoughts.
Lovely! Thank you. xox
You didn't mention lunar effect of tides on water -we being proportioned with plenty of it inside. Also something Ive read of air tides, and earth tides would be interesting to hear about from you. Things that bought to my attention what might be behind the "feeling" I get that I associate with what I've been calling magic. Will look up my source and come back to mention here in hopes you'll cover it. Thanks for the videos. Yours are exceptional and just plain fun.🐝
Thank you for our science lesson too :) xxxx
Another wonderful video!! 🌙🌚✨
Thank you 🤗
i ABSOLUTLY LOVE AND ENJOY your videos! They have helped me in so many way to better my magical practice and provide new perspectives especially on practices i used to struggle doing.
Do you have any male witch recommendations to watch? im always looking to expand my arsenal of places to gather good information in order to grow my practice.
LOL "Don't want to spread liiiieees..." I burst out laughing. Love it!
The full moon is very calming for me to sit under. It creates an atmosphere that energizes me. I also use the moon cycle for gardening; hair cutting; surgery for humans and animals such as spay/neuters. I have done it without the moon's energy being right and there were complications. This happened more than once. My vet now goes by the moon phases. By the way is not this your birth month? If so Happy Birthday🎉
It is! Thank you so much 💓 for me the full moon makes me tired - because I never can sleep properly 😅
@@Thewitchescookery That's why it is a good time for a bonfire!😁I love to camp then. I feel like I am being watched over. I was born on a full moon. Maybe that's why. Gravitational pull and all that stuff.
I work in healthcare in an assisted living for the elderly it never fails that a full moon seems to bring out the wack-a-doodle in our residents. We can count on a busy night with lots of things to report to the next shift.
That seems to be a common theme 😅
Oooh deine Ohrringe sind so schön 😍
Dankeschön!!
My lil one was born on a new moon, which i felt was appropriate- new beginning 😊💖
How lovely!!
Thank you for the great information. I love your video. ♥️😁
Thank you for sharing)O(
