- Опубліковано 27 січ 2024
- In Ireland, Imbolc is Brigid's Day AND the beginning of Spring. There are many customs and traditions around Lá Féile Bríd and in this video I am talking about the blessing of the tools and seeds for the forthcoming agricultural year.
If you are interested in the old customs and traditions of Ireland, you might be interested in the Wise Woman Way training which is a transpersonal course following the Celtic Wheel of the Year, working with druidic and shamanic techniques. www.danusirishherbgarden.com/...
If you enjoy being self-reliant and are interested in plant medicine, my course, Introduction to Herbal Medicine might be of interest.

On 24th February I will be giving a talk in Carraroe, Cheathrú Rua at the event "Iompú" at an Compán, An Cheathrú Rua H91 X4WH if you are in Ireland.
The Herbal Priestess Summit with Sarah Dous but it will take place in March 2024 . Have a look here - wildrosemysteryschool.com/her...
I was recently reminded of the lovely Juliette de Baircli Levy and thought you would enjoy this beautiful film about her, "Juliette of the Herbs". She is the wise woman herbalist who has inspired modern day herbalists such as myself so much . • Video

Happy Imbolc and beginning of Spring - see you next week xx
Your the best wise woman on U Tube You talk to us, not at us with no condescension or smugness! Oh my god that countryside!
Thank you so much, I imagine you are there in front of me. Would hate to be smug or condescend. Xxx
Absolute terrible weather here, a very sore throat, headache, and general tiredness... I think it's a message that I need to rest and leave sickness and winter behind for the 1st of February ahead! Currently knitting myself a wool neck warmer and simply resting for the celebration ahead. Many Blessings from County Cork and keep healthy and warm everyone. Blessed Imbolc.
Blessings to you for a speedy recovery. Do rest and you will get over it more quickly xx
Yes, rest and a bit of knitting to usher in the season. ❤️
Oh dear I came down with a terrible headache too, temperature and sore throat, achy all over. Hymalian salts and bath salts, Epsom and Lavender, in a warm bath helped a lot
I cried when I saw you blessing the bees, it was very touching. When my husband and I pass two separate wild bee hives on our daily walk we always say hello or good night and wish them well
Oh wow! That is so lovely of you xx I am sure the bees appreciate it.
Just think how large your family has gotten with all the wonderful knowledge you have shared and even though many are so far apart and we may not ever meet in person, we will all be celebrating and growing as divine feminine together this next week. Blessings to all.❤
Wow, thank you nanny granny. I feel the same. I have "met" so many lovely people such as yourself on this journey. So good to know you are there xx
Thank-you Teri and Lol!
💚☘️💚❕️
May the blessings of Imbolc be upon you and family shining brighter then bright love to you.
You are so kind Cheryl, thank you. Many blessings and love and light to you and yours xx
Always so inspiring watching your calendar events! Thank you for leading out of the news of the day! Holiness and respect for our environment is a delightful place to put ourselves! 🌱🧚♂️🍃
Yes, you are right xx
I watched your Brideog video last year and made them with 15+ nuns in a convent nursing home. They absolutely loved them ❤
How wonderful, that's lovely!! Xx
🔥✋🏽🙋🏽♀️ watching and learning about your ways from long Island Ny... so wonderful to see your loving and respectful of your little slice of heaven 🍃💙🍃 blessings to you and of course our beautiful Mother Earth.. the Sun.. and water.. and we love the 🐝🐝🐝🍯.. love and gratitude 💯💗
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed it xx
Terri!You make me smile!Since terrible accident I spend alot of time in bed in the dark.Im blessed w an apartment and balcony high up overlooking the river Fergus and wild fields.What I love is the simplicity of your Blessings and Rituals.I notice alot of pressure on internet for witchy paraphernalia! Which is fine but as you show we really dont need much to Honour Mother Earth.Thank you kind lady, for bringing the outside in for those of us who long to be out in the wild❤
Glad I made you smile. Sorry to hear about your accident and hope you are recovering. Keep it simple is the best way, bringing the sacred into the mundane. Every moment is sacred really. Brigid's Blessings to you xx
Breathtaking scenery, beautiful Terri, Inspirational and uplifting. Not only are your herbal teachings healing, you are healing my injuries to mind, body and soul with your weekly videos....this one in particular. I watched the link you put below about Juliette de Baïracli Levy's life. My oh my. What a treasure you have gifted all who watch your videos. Just when I was in the dark night of the soul, facing what I was afraid would be pain and the inability to garden this spring, when I turn 79, along comes inspiration from you, dear Terri. I found a place to purchase elderberry twigs to grow, and 3 hawthorn bushes after your video. Now to find where I can purchase Rosemary. I now have something to look forward to....as I must be restored to be able to walk, sit, stand and work without pain, be straight again, to plant my veggies and tend what I already have, along with start my new bushes & seeds into pots and garden boxes. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Blessings, love and light
Blessings, love and light to you too. Once you get moving in your garden you will feel restored. The plants and the fresh air will be so therapeutic and the joy you will have will be pure medicine xx
May you, your land, your garden, and the bees be abundantly blessed and may there be a bountiful harvest! Blessed Imbolc💖
Thank you so much - appreciate that! Imbolc blessings to you too xx
I absolutely love that you include us in all the ritual and ceremony of the Wheel of the Year. Especially the preparation and the speaking of the words of gratitude and offerings...and of course the fire!! You simplify the mystery and make it manageable for the everyday person to perform. Thank you Terri 🙏
I like to bring the sacred into the mundane Amanda, make it all a part of life instead of something separate. Did you get my email? Hope all is well - Imbolc blessings xx
Imbolc is my favourite day in our witch celebrations. Although we have loads of snow here in the Yukon, Canada and definitely no flowers (in May) the sun light is getting stronger and the days are noticeable longer. My Dutch roots pines for the daffodils and snowdrops. Wishing everyone a happy Imbolc and may the Goddess Brigid bless you 🧙💜 Thank you Terri for this episode
Thank you so much Margriet and many happy returns xx
I've had another horrible day in this "modern life"" but watching Terri talking to Bee's and stuff does seem to help to see there is another way.
Oh so sorry to hear you have had a horrible day - wish I could help. Hope the coming week/weekend are better for you xx
Thank you for EVERYTHING. Such beautiful photography!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it xx
How exciting for you to be an integral part of sharing your knowledge and traditions with women everywhere. I can’t wait to see your podcast
Can't wait! Xx
Thanks Terri and Loll. Beautiful video again. It almost felt like time traveling.
Glad you enjoyed it! Xx
My daughter and I come from a long line of Bridget's. Ours came from County Galway to the USA in the mid-1840's. Thank you for teaching us more about our Irish culture and St. Bridgid. Thank you. I enjoy your videos.
I am sure Brigid from the 1840s would be delighted to know you are here. Imbolc blessings to you and yours xx
Thank you for my lovely excursions via your films! Always so scenic, tranquil & informative. I appreciate you & your efforts.
Many thanks! So glad to hear that xx

St. Brigid came to bless me today. I wrote my first poem just shortly before coming on here to watch this and learn about poets inspiration!
Wonderful! Congratulations! xx
Thank you Terri for the lovely video. Especially the fire. Here in Canada we celebrate Groundhog Day on February 2. If the Groundhog sees his shadow we're expected to have 6 more weeks of winter, if not, it will be an early spring.
Welcome, spring! Blessed Imbolc, Terry!

Blessings to you and your bees. My Sunday mornings are always good when I see your posts. I have the same pattern shawl that was done by my grandmother.
Blessings to you too. Whst a coincidence re the pattern xx
Brighid is my patron Goddess. I had no idea who she was until she came in a dream and introduced herself. It totally made sense for the place I am in life. Thanks for sharing with us your rituals for her day.
Hope you keep getting to know her - she is a great inspiration xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden I'm finding a lot of new-age stuff on her. Do you know where I can find more archaic info that is accurate and says more than her patronage?
Happy Imbolc! Love you blessing the bees! 🔥🐝👍🇨🇦😎💘
Happy Imbolc to you too xx
Thank you for another delightful video! Here in the eastern US the wheel of the year is turning too, at the 3rd week of January the birds suddenly "wake up" and sing constantly now. In another month or so the daffodils and crocuses will push up. You are also inspiring me to put away my Christmas decorations, it's time to move on with the year.
I am glad to hear other people keep their Christmas decorations up after the holidays. I love the light twinkling when it is raining and grey outside..and I have also felt that it is time to put them away until next winter season..😊
So lovely to hear the birds being so vocal xx
Me too with Christmas decorations, I usually put mine away at 2nd February (candle mass).I have already popped some away now.have a lovely day.x
Thank you for a beautiful hopeful visit. Blessings💜🐇
Blessings to you too xx
So beautiful. Thank You for sharing these serene views of your home. And thank you for all of your much needed insights that You share so generously.
You are very welcome Dee, happy Imbolc xx
Imbolc blessings for the return of Spring

May you and yours be blessed with abundance and peace, in this year.
Sending love from SE Texas ❤️

So glad you enjoyed it and found it so inspirational. Good luck on your path xx
Beautiful film! As always !!! Thank You both 🙏❤️🌺
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it xx

It's coyote baby season here. Been keeping my fur babies in lately because of it. Been very cold here lately, just recently switched to mild and very wet. Makes everything soggy. Haven't been doing much gardening or garden preparation. Though this upcoming week I am going to be switching a flower bed around. Moving the bulbs to another area and rethinking the bed thereafter. I added some lovely oak limbs to my altar, our yard and woods are loaded with red, white and black oak. Been kinda celebrating Imbolc already with music and candle burning. Was going to look at my local shop for either a snowdrop or crocus or dandelion to add to my altar before the 1st. Here in Missouri it's closer to mid Feb before the one's in my garden sprout. But, with that said, some signs of Brigid and spring are here. A pair of blue birds have taken up nesting in a new bird house I hung on my grapes. They are our state bird. 💙🩵💙 I love the idea of blessing the tools. I forget about things like that. Love your videos.
How blessed to have the birds there nesting xx
Thank you Terri for another lovely video. Have a Blessed Imbolc . Beautiful scenery, so like the Mourne mountains in Northern Ireland, that are practically on my doorstep. X
The Mourne Mountains are beautiful - very similar indeed. Imbolc blessings to you too xx
Imbolc Blessings Sacred Sister
thankyou for sharing your medicine.
You are so welcome, glad you enjoyed it xx
Imbolc blessings to you and the family .Lovely filming and music too
And many blessings to you and yours Mary. Hope you have a great year in the garden xx
New subscriber here. Thanks for your folklore wisdom. Blessed Imbolc❤
Welcome! I hope you enjoy the channel. 😊Xx
Oh the weather looks so inviting there…I look out my window and snow and slush envelope the landscape and the trees are still dusted in frost……Imbolc has always been one of my favorite turns on the wheel…. As much as I truly love Winter, the waiting has begun…but we’ll have another 3 months at least of cold & cooler weather until Spring really shows itself. Have a good Imbolc.
I will Ladythyme, thank you. Snow is lovely but slush is not so nice. Still, your trees are dusted in frost so that must be uplifting xx
Fantastic .How lovely for you to be involved in these projects Terri.I love your crafting videos in conjunction with the calendar …such a wonderful time coming up🙏🏼My hyacinth are coming up in pots and I can’t wait for the fragrance🪻xx
They do smell wonderful xx
Bright sunshine 🌄 warm here in southern Alberta. Beauriful scenery of the Canadian Rockies ⛰️ 🏞🏔 in the distance...breathtaking...
Wonderful
Love your fire in the beginning. Cinnamon and other fiery spices and flavors, Feb 1 here soon. Spring around the corner. But the life is here now. The fat skunk going through the yard and other creatures waking me up. TY, and Sharing on threads. Polly
Imbolc Blessings and many thanks Polly xc
Happy first day of Spring from Wales! We are forecast bad weather on the 1st so I hope that means the end of Winter for us. My 2 favourite sounds are a crackling fire and the sound of someone walking on gravel. Lovely wintery footage xx
A crackling fire - you can't beat it!. I love the cold smell on someone when they come in from outside. Hoping it is the end of winter for you xx
@@DanusIrishHerbGarden Ooh yes! xx
Good time of year when everything is waiting to move.I love to wander in my garden and see what’s about.Love and light to you and everyone.xx🐝🐝
Many Happy Returns xx
Nice to see you god bless us
Thank you so much
Bright Blessings!
Blessings to you too x
It is, of course, no coincidence that as people turned away from nature and traditional beliefs, they ended up less health and less happy. Our health is measured by our connection to nature, and our happiness comes from our connections to the natural world as well. Last Thursday was Tu B'Shvat (the Jewish new year for trees) which we celebrate with fruit and planting trees. Many cultures have similar traditions. The photography with the mountain views is amazing, as is the music (as always; thank you Lol!). Good Imbolc, blessings to you, Lol, and everyone. 🌲🥀🍀🐝🍯
I think you are so right John. I feel quite distressed when I see what people are eating and feeding to their children. That is a beautiful way to celebrate - planting trees, and should be a tradition everywhere! Glad you enjoyed the video and sending blessings to you and yours. xx
Thank you for the very kind reply. My mother, Rivkah, is 83 and her dream has always been to plant as many trees as she can to make the world better for all life. We just planted 100 trees for her in Israel. Peace be with you friend, and many, many blessings. @@DanusIrishHerbGarden ❤🙏
Happy Imbolc to you. No problem hoping for bad weather. Tons of rain and dreariness. We’ve had drear for weeks. Wishing blessed Imbolc to all.
Happy Imbolc Jeanne - I know that dreariness - that's what we had today!!😂
Thank you 🌹☀️🌲💖🕊🌍
Thank you Terri many blessings to you and yours x
Same to you! Have a wonderful spring time xx
Beautifully captured scenery and helpful video. Have a wonderful Imbolc
Thank you! You too! Xx
Happy Imbolc Terri and Lol! Hoping all your seeds germinate strong and healthy. The scenery images were divine!
Lots of love from the Land of the Rusty Angel😇💕
Ah - so glad you enjoyed the local scenery. It is not often that we get frost like that so we really enjoy it when we do. Blessings on your seeds too. BTW can you email where you are in Sunniside? Please and thanks xx
Hello, Terri 👋😊
beautiful video about Imbolc cozy moments and about Brigitte of course ✨🍯💐🤗
🌼 so glad to see you in a great mood and in such adorable outfit👍🤌😊🔥your Home is also magnificent, it's a place for an ancient soul and calm feelings, a place of Peace.
You gave me such an amazing idea about seeds, ohhh...got a feeling of "shame", you know, and said to Brigitte "I'm SO sorry, that I don't have any seeds at my altar zone"... So tomorrow will buy different variants, see it from metaphysical positive side, to "make a step outside, from the space of thoughts into a warm space of unique world and real life" if it make sense, hope so ❤
Wish you all the best 🤗🕊️🌍💜
All the best to you too.. Imbolc Blessings x
Beautiful! Looking forward to making a cross.
Have fun! Xx
Blessed Imbolc Terry!
Blessings to you too x
Blessings❤️
😘
Much Love to you, Terri❤
Wonderful sharing of Imbolc with us, thank you. I wiil be lovingly tending to my gardening tools from small clippers, to pitchforks and wheelbarrow tomorrow. They are qll in need of derusting, sharpening, oiling and yes admiringly too. Yet with your insights and inspiration I will be blessing them with holy water from our lake and anointing them, as we still have several more snowcovered months here at Lake Tahoe.
Sending smiles to you as I light both an indoor, outdoor and candles too in a bit.
Many blessings and delights of the season to you Terri,
Tara O'Hara
Many blessings and likewise xx
