- Hi everyone, welcome back! This week I’m celebrating the Full Moon with a little candle ritual, making my own relaxing bath salts, as well as picking up a few witchy bits and bobs from my favourite shop and making some pretty gifts. I hope you enjoy what I got up to!
I visited Curious Goods, The Shambles, Chesterfield.
I really appreciate the simplicity and beauty of your full moon celebration, so full of intention.
Thank you so much. I always try to keep things simple, I find it so much more effective xx
Love the Witch bells and thoroughly enjoyed watching you make everything. Soul nourishment at it's finest thank you Alison 🥰💕
Thank you so much lovely lady xx
I’m a fifty something witch in the U.S., and I’m so grateful to have found your channel. I live in a very conservative small town, and am completely solitary in my practice. So channels like yours have become a lifeline to others like me, and a source of inspiration for me. Thank you for sharing your practice with us. Blessed be. 💜
I am so humbled that you are enjoying my channel. I realise that being able to practise openly is a massive privilege. Thank you so much for your lovely words. You are safe and welcome here. Blessed be xxx
Love a good bubble bath Alison😊
Love the Tribal Incense I like the florida water and palo santo they make it smells lovely. Thank you once again Alison much love as always 🐈⬛🩷
They are so good aren't they? I've loved them all so far xx
I am so happy to find another witch practitioner of a similar age. I have been practicing for near 20 years, in varying degrees of intensity. I love the simple and beautiful way you celebrate the full moon. One of the things I do fairly consistently is create moon water and charge my crystals. And of course, go out and speak to her. Looking forward to seeing more of you
Sending healing blessing to you and your husband.
Laurie I am so very happy that you are here! Thank you so much for your kind words. I sometimes think that simple is best because when something becomes overly complicated it sucks the joy out of it somewhat. Making moon water is so lovely ☺️
Thank you so much for your kindness and blessed be xxx
I have a bath and let go of what no longer serves in a relaxing meditation with candles lit on window sil.
Its amazing how our practises changes as we get older, and simplicity is the way I’ve gone. Im 62 and are now more connected to the crone who brings me tremendous grounding and connection to the earth mysteries. I have never felt so comfortable with myself and my goddess spirituality. My lunar practises are more reflective and I love using my tarot and oracles as focus points, with simple sympathetic candle, herb and stone magicks. I love your channel, and your craft is soft and feminine and I love that.
It’s so lovely to hear about your practice, thank you so much for sharing it with us. I completely agree with the ‘simplicity’ thing! If the intent is there, you still get the result! I think you come to understand that as you get older and your Craft evolves. I am so honoured that you are here. Thank you so much for watching ♥️
Another lovely and cozy video! Thank you for sharing!
As you were discussing the selenite and water, it occurred to me that you had some selenite placed in your salt bowl by your front door, didn’t you? Maybe I’m misremembering the bowl - but I just wanted to mention that sometimes salt pulls water from the air. I’m not sure how much water it would take to damage the selenite, but I thought I’d just mention it! (Likewise, if you have one, you may find pink salt lamps occasionally “sweat” for this reason; so be mindful if you have anything nearby that could be affected! (I ruined a nice dresser surface with mine, it seems! 😅 I should have known!)
Ahh you’re very welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed it! ♥️
My salt lamp used to sweat like crazy in our old apartment! We had a lot of trouble with damp in that place. It seems to be fine here though. My selenite is doing ok too but thank you very much for the tip! 🥰
Another wonderful, comforting and informative video Alison. I have always felt a strong connection to the moon, my mum has a wonderful story about me as a small child suddenly crying in the back of the car, when she asked me what's wrong my response was "mum, it's bad, the moon is broken" 😢 it was actually the clouds covering part of the moon but to my mind it was a devastatingly end of the world situation! Still now I find it fascinating that it has no light of its own yet can shine so brightly, and look so different from one day to the next. This is definitely an event I would like to celebrate when I feel ready to start practising myself. Thank you for your inspiration 🙏❤
Ohh bless you!! ‘The moon is broken!’ That’s just adorable ♥️
Hello, I have really enjoyed this video and especially the calming vibes and energy😊 I, too, have found this month's full moon incredibly beautiful and powerful, it has come at the right moment as a long term friendship has ended and now I feel at peace. I'm also inspired by your witch bells to make some of my own, those ones are beautiful, I'm so happy to have found your channel 🍄💚🌹
Tracey that’s so kind of you, thank you so very much for your lovely words. I am so sorry your friendship has reached its end but I am so glad that you are at peace with it now. I hope the coming month brings you even more healing and new beginnings. Blessed be xxx
Thank you so much, I'm grateful for the time we had but that time has ended and on a respectful level too. For me, the moon represents the light in times of darkness and shadow work whereas the sun and daylight bring energy and productivity, the perfect balance!
@@traceyshea2559that’s a great way to look at it ☺️x
I love the shop you visit. I'd never come out! I always feel calm in shops like that. LOVE your witch bells. ❤ I have never thought of putting bicarbonate of soda in with the herbs and salt. Makes absolute sense now. My nan put bicarbonate of soda in everything.... I have been drawn to bees lately. I've been incorporating them in a junk journal.
Lovely video. ❤
Thank you so much 🥰
Yes Curious Goods is absolutely beautiful. It’s been in Chesterfield for 20 years now and is much loved by us Witchy folk! The staff are all really lovely, gentle people and they have so much knowledge between them. I’ve asked if I can do a tour of the shop for you at some point so I’m really excited about that! 😱
WEeeeeeeeeeeee😂
@@fifidubois5514 🤣🤣🥰🥰xx

Thank you for sharing your full moon rituals and practices. It’s inspiring! Blessed be ❤
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 🥰
Enjoyed this 🥰x
Thank you dear one! xxx
Love your Witch Bells! Great vid...thanks for sharing!
Ahh, thank you very much! I must say I loved the purple theme, that was the customer’s choice and I think it worked really well!
You’re very welcome ☺️xx
you craft is very beautiful. I believe that bells are about breaking bad vibes/energies and clearing the air, but Im sure there are probably lots of reasons. I hope you and hubby are well and enjoying the spring weather between the showers! our lovely English weather! best wishes Madwitch x
Thank you so much ♥️I do love making little bits and pieces. Yes we are doing OK thank you, it’s lovely to see the beautiful sunshine popping in and out of the clouds! Have a really happy weekend 🌼🌷🌸
Love your videos, almost 50 so I feel kindred!✨
That’s so lovely to hear. Thank you so much for being here ♥️xx
Hi new here loved your video that shop looks amazing and so well stocked. I wasnt able to do anything for this Full Moon i did get a few pictures though. The gifts you may are so lovely.x
Hello there, thank you so much for being here and for subscribing! I hope you enjoyed the time you spent photographing the moon, she is so beautiful at the moment!
I’m planning a tour of the shop in the future - I hope you’re ready because you won’t believe how stunning it is! ♥️
Hi, I’ve only discovered your channel in the last few days. Loved this video! Thanks so much for sharing what you do 😊
Hi Sarah! Thank you so much for such a lovely comment, I am so glad you are here! I am really happy that you enjoyed my video 🥰
Loved this video cant wait to see more
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching ♥️
I absolutely LOVE piñon pine, but it does not smell like traditional pine. It still smells heavenly, though.
I’m very keen to try it @peckishpagan. In the packet it smells quite earthy, almost like patchouli. And I don’t mind that! 🥰
Thank you for sharing the crafted spells you made, the witch bells are stunning (I also have a thing about witch bells, i have 4 lots in my home and 2 in my garden!) ❤❤❤
You’re so welcome, I’m glad you like them! You can never have too many bells as far as I’m concerned! 🥰
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 absolutely not! I'll be making more still on the summer solstice 🤣❤
I have enjoyed your creations and your bath salt. My question is what is the best way to not clog up your bath tub. Thank you in advance and blessed be 🩷🕯️✨
That's a great question! You can either grind up your ingredients very finely (you could use a spice grinder or coffee grinder) or you could place a few tablespoons of the mixture into a piece of muslin fabric which you'd then tie into a little bundle before placing into your bath water. That way you get all the benefits of the ingredients without them actually going down the drain!
Thank you so much for watching xx
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 oh perfect. I was thinking like a tea bag, but larger version. Thank you for the tip.
Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome, I really hope you enjoyed it! ♥️
Just found you!!how come I managed to miss you I don’t know!! Loved the video,I personally make moon water and have a ritual bath on the full moon(time allowing!) blessed be x
Hello! I am so glad you’re here! Thank you so much for watching my video, I’m really happy you enjoyed it! Ooh I do love a ritual bath, and I’m trying to make more time for them ☺️
Have a lovely weekend and Blessed Be xxx

Your witch bells are so kool@@fifty-somethingwitch2406
Thank you so much, they were great fun to make x💜
Another fabulous video . Thank you 💕
Thank you so much Colette, that’s so lovely ♥️
I love the moon so much & look for it every night it's supposed to be visible. I feel so connected to the moon in a way that I can't really put into words, but then the majority of Witch folk feel that special love for the moon as a representation of the Goddess. I refer to Her as the Moon Mother. It's like waiting for an old friend to visit as you watch for the moon to rise at night. 🌛
Stunning Witch bells & that spell bottle is a work of art! I giggled at the bit where you mentioned George getting into the valerian. Familiars: sometimes they help, sometimes not so much! 😺 Oh, and I almost forgot:: would you happen to have any advice on how to dry roses? I usually always have a vase of them on one of my nightstands & when they wither, I take them into the woods & lay them at the base of a tree with a thank you for all the beauty & joy they provided me, thus returning them to the earth. I'd love to keep petals & bits to use as spell ingredients, but I am so clueless how to dry them out. Any help is massively appreciated!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment ☺️
I always gently pull the petals off my roses as soon as they start to ‘turn’ and I spread them on kitchen paper and just leave them in a warm place to dry. That’s pretty much it! I do sometimes like to hang a small bunch (no more than 3 or 4) upside down to dry on my hallway altar but I don’t think this is the best way, although it looks very pretty! But I must say your description of how you give your roses back to the earth was so beautiful it put a lump in my throat 🥺xx
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 Oh, thank you so much for the pointers! I will give that go! Returning spent flowers & deceased plants back to Nature is a ritual that I learned from the Witch Marie Bruce. I think she wrote about it in her book Faerie Magick. If not that book, then her book on solitary Witchcraft. I could never just toss flowers & plants into a rubbish bin. Too disrespectful, in my opinion.
Great video Alison. I’ve got a spell in water outside under the moon that I’m adding offerings each night to promote healing. ❤️🩹
Thank you so much Jo ♥️
I love the idea of adding to an offering bowl every evening, that’s really beautiful xx
