Celebrate MABON with me | What to do for autumn equinox | WITCHY VLOG

- Hi lovlies,
I wanted to take you along through my day of the autumnal equinox, on the pagan wheel of year also called Mabon, where we celebrate all this witchy / Wiccan holiday has to offer.
In this video, I will answer the questions around ´What is Mabon¨ - or, the witches thanksgiving, as some call it. I also want to give you some ideas on what to do for the autumn equinox, how to celebrate Mabon, and what messages and significance the autumnal equinox brings to us on a spiritual level. We will also discover what impact this pagan holiday has in my country. So what is on the agenda for this witchy vlog?
We will venture out in the morning to see the last sunrise of the summer. Now the sun will rise later in the day, so for me, it is the last chance to get out and watch it in peace and quiet, before the darker half of the year begins.
We will go for a beautiful autumn walk to enjoy the fall sun. And we will collect various little treasures, such as berries, flowers, and nuts to decorate the garden with. This is my personal Mabon gratitude ritual for the autumnal equinox. We will leave those as fae offerings, or as an offering to mother nature. This shows gratitude for all the blessings we were given throughout the year. Thanksgiving, blessings, gratitude, balance and are all important parts of this harvest festival and Wiccan sabbat.
We will then pick a ton of apples and bring them to the cider mill to get them juiced - so we can later transform them into apple wine and a magickal spiked apple cider.
And, with apple being the ultimate fruit of Mabon, we will also bake a delicious apple strudel (Apfelstrudel) together - so quick and easy, yet still mouthwatering yummy - with a flaky crust and sweet cinnamon and apple filling.
After all that work, we definitely deserve a little rest, so we will practice some kitchen witchery. We will create hot apple cider, with a very generous splash of brown rum - for the grown-ups. The ingredients used in this kitchen witch recipe are ideal for a variety of magickal intentions. Prosperity, Luck, success, love, lust, and fertility are just some of them.
And as a magical day nears its end, we will light a fire, roast some harvested veggies, and enjoy a blissful and cozy evening of this fall equinox.

"I love to cook and bake and drink. Hello?!" 😂 I love love LOVE how candid you have become in your videos. It is so fun!
Ahhh glad you enjoy it too! I really love making the occasional vlog as an addition to the more edited stuff 😄
The autumn equinox, Mabon and the whole autumn is my favorite season. I love watching your videos and really appreciate your Non religious take on witchcraft.
I love autumn sooo much to! It's so cozy and always makes me want to be crafty and creative. I am so glad to hear that you enjoy watching the videos ♥️ and the non-religious aspect of them too! Thank you for leaving this lovely comment ☺️
Watching your videos really uplifts my mood!! 💖😊
Comments like this make all the work worth it ♥️ so glad you feel that way! ☺️
Love the beautiful offering with all the flowers! :)
Thanks!! 💚 I tried your Mabon Sangria and wow, did I have a hangover haha (might have been due to the fact, that I replaced the pomegranate with orange liqueur 🙈) but it was delicious!
@@Thewitchescookery Thanks! Glad you liked it. I'm definitely going to be trying out your apple juice kitchen witch spell. :)
I'm one who firmly believes in the Fae so I want to copy your idea for a special offering, it was beautiful and inviting. I am also going to try my best to make that strudel.. Yum. It's so nice to follow along with you and extremely generous of you to give us your time. Blessings always sweet girl.💜🍂🌾🍁🍎💜
It has been exactly one year since I started watching your videos. Since then, I have always watched your new and old vlogs for the festivities as preparation.
Wow!! Such a bountiful harvest of apples! The apple streudel looked amazing!!! 😍
It was sooo much work but really worth it 🍎 I hoped my offering would attract some wildlife like in your amazing videos but so far it hasn't 😂 also, I made the mistake to make three apple strudels and now I keep snacking on them, everytime I enter the kitchen 🙈
The witches' cookery streudel is healthy because it has apples 😂🍎 I hope some wildlife comes to visit soon ☺️
8:44 is my favorite part 😂
There was an entire swarm in the tree haha mocking me
The cheerful vibe of this video is like a public service. Thank you for helping me get into the Mabon spirit. Each of your videos are a work of art.
Ah thanks, that is very sweet of you to say 🥰 did you celebrate the equinox in some way? I hope work (especially with everything that's going on) is not too stressful for you at the moment! Have a wonderful day
16:05 😀🍷🍸🥃🍺👍...I'll try to keep this brief...for once Haha...You are a star rapidly approaching superstardom my friend. You are so mega talented and born to do this, please don't ever stop.
You are always such a cheerleader! 💚 Thank you for the encouraging words ☺️👍🥰
I’m so sorry I’m commenting so much instead of one big comment. Where did you get your apple picker?!? 🤩
Haha don't worry! I got mine at the local hardware store. But they have it at any garden center or Baumarkt (Dehner, Bauhaus, Hagebaumarkt, etc.)
I literally just found your channel, while searching for ways to celebrate Mabon. Your sense of humor is the best! I just subscribed :)
Ahhh how lovely! Welcome on my channel and I am glad you like my weird humour 😄 how did you celebrate Mabon?
@@Thewitchescookery it was my first Mabon, so I went apple picking, (not as extensive as you did lol) and I made apple pie. 😊 Next year, I hope to do more though.
Ahhh that sounds lovely and like you captures the spirit of the equinox 😍
@@Thewitchescookery Thank you! It really was wonderful! 🥰
The music at the beginning makes me want to dance with a handsome stranger..
Haha I love that!
Lovely video. Thank you for sharing your magical life with the world. Blessings. 😘💕🙏✨
Heee hee so cute the beginning this was so much fun to watch
😄 thank you
I was born on sept 21st, and I’ve always had a special connection with autumn. This year, even though I’ve been a witch my whole life, I grew up in a Christian family so I got accustomed to those holidays, however this year, will be my first Mabon celebrating the way I want! I think it will be cool to mix my birthday with celebrating Mabon. Thank you for your video!💜
Your bowls are beautiful! May I ask what kind are they? I loved this video overall! New Sub. :)
You cussing at the bird 🐦 made my day😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
Have you posted somewhere about the tea? It sounds amazing!
That was great! Beautiful video AND hilarious at times. 😂. Oh my goodness! Please keep them coming!
Hehe sooo glad you say that! Thank you very much 🥰 I do enjoy making this kind of content from time to time
I really enjoy your head shots as I think you look great on camera, slightly jealous!
Awww you are sweet! 😄♥️
Could you tell me whats in your tea exactly it does look delicious?
Loved this! The baking inspired me... new here and already really love your content :)
Thanks, lovely lady! And I am so glad that you enjoyed the baking - because that is what you will find on my channel (well, the majority of it 😄). And so glad to have you here 💚
Lovely video, Bex! Thank you for the beautiful images of sunrise and flower filds! The video editing is awesome! Great vlog!
Thank you so much ♥️ I can't wait to have some time tonight and watch through your little series of videos from last week - the last one I saw was very moving!
i dont know where you live but i do know if you were closer we would be besties!
Beautiful video. Blessed Mabon!
Thank you 💚 a wonderful Mabon to you too!
Wieder ein super schönes Video! Du hast den Herbst mit seinen leuchtenden Farben toll in Szene gesetzt!
Dankeschön 😄🍎🌰🌻
“Coziness, love and cinnamon” is what I want my life to be like 😊🌸
Same 😄 it tasted like that too!
"coziness, love, and cinnamon" I'm going to use this as a mirror pep talk for the next few days.
Still sick, but gettin' better! *has a totally weird fit*🤧 So, it's also all about the apples? Great! Gotta try and prolly buy something with them today *whole day at uni*
Also, hey❤ Es war ein bisschen laut, eh? Kannst du warten, bis wann Mutti gesprochen hat, Ninchen? Sie werden alle Äpfelstrudeln zusammen gegessen so dan (after that?) *hust* Also, danke für alle Hilfe im Garten!👍
Here in Scotland, we call those purple daisy Michaelmas Daisy. X X X
Oooh I love this! Makes so much sense too as they bloom for that day ☺️ thanks for that bit of knowledge 🧡
I've been binge watching your channel and I find it so warming and homey and the nature feel makes me feel happy. I have to ask you though before I start to like and subscribe , do your activities have anything to do with the dark spirit down under ?
Sorry you already answered my question in the other video. Thanks , I will sub !
At 6:20 i see a beautiful, tall mullein plant! I hope you harvest some of the leaves and flowers. The flowers make a lovely cough syrup.
Yes indeed! Our garden is filled with them 😊🌿
Anybody else's first year celebrating?
Exciting!! Have a wonderful celebration 🍂🥞🧡 it's my favourite holiday 😄
Such a lovely video 💜 the sunset amazing! Thank you 💚
Thank you and so glad to hear you enjoyed it too ☺️💚
Cool 😀
Hmm Apple Strudel. So Deutsch! I will have to learn how to make one, but I reckon my pastry will be a disaster!
Haha it is 😄 definitely give it a try! And with this recipe I am sure you will succeed 💪💚
@@Thewitchescookery Practice makes perfect !
Rebeccaaaa this video was so fun 😍🤣👍🏻 and those beautiful shots at the barbecue 🥰 too lovely!! I will also have a little delayed celebration with fresh mushrooms from the forest today ☺️
Thaaaank you 🥰 it was a truly magickal day and evening! Very much enjoyed the fire 🔥 fresh mushrooms sounds amazing! Did you find some good ones? I still have to collect some this year 🤤🍄
@@Thewitchescookery yes we found some Braunkappen ☺️ But you have to hurry!! I think it's already the end of the mushroom season... We only found old ones and it's end of september 🙈 I also nearly missed out on it this year 😳
@@theartofnaturegermany I knoooow. We had to cut down some trees last week because we have some Borkenkäfer in our forests, so I saw tons of mushrooms around. But didn't have time to harvest them. Maaaybe tomorrow 😄 because I am craving Semmelknödel mit Schwammerlsoße haha
Thank you for this post. When I used to live in a small German town called Oberkeil my landlord at the time ran the the local cider mill as well. It was so amazing to literally put my glass under the spout and get a glass of fresh cider. That was a good memory, thank you.
I live in Missouri a state in the USA. It looks so much like here
That's so cool! I've only ever been to NY and FL in the states. But from what I heard Missouri is fairly rural - here we are in the rural zone too - faaar from the cities ☺️
🧡
Absoluty loveeely ♡ Sehr schönes video, tolle Filmarbeit, machst du das auch alles oder hilft dir jemand beim filmen?
Deine Laune steckt an, ganz viel Liebe ♡
Dankeschön!! I wish hahah ist alles eine one-woman-show, UA-cam zählt leider viel zu schlecht 😅
Wonderful, wonderful.
Thanks so much ❤️
Absolutely loved this video. I shared some homemade butterzopf with friends this weekend, I always feel so connected to my grandmother when I kneed the dough and form the braid. I’m sure she’s the reason I primarily show my love through sharing food 😂 100% going to make some Apfelstrudel now
This comment made me sooo hungry for Butterzopf, sladderd in butter and jam 😅🤤 that is so wonderful that you feel the bond to your grandma when baking! I feel the same - especially with old family recipes ♥️
❤️
😊🧡
It's Spring equinox over here. I'll just change the apple to something else that grows where I live to do the spells haha. Take love. It was a treat watching your video.
I hope you had a wonderful spring equinox celebration 🌱🌼🐣 would definitely love to hear what fruit you pick and what concoction you come up with 🤤 always love to try new things! And so glad to hear, that you enjoyed the video 💚
💗🍂🍁🌾
🌻 sending all the cozy fall vibes your way 😄
Commenting as I watch, as always 😃. I think one of my favourite things I discovered as a child was the star within the apples 🤗🙏🏽. Omgoddess you are FREAKIN ADORABLE!!! Sigh with the morning views 🙏🏽🤗🥰. By the Goddess, the lands were you live! You have it all, so diverse and beautiful! Tiny sir.... ahhhh 🤗🤗🤗🤗! I celebrate two different things on that day, the solar celebration as a time of balance, liminal space.... and as the witch’s thanksgiving in honour of the harvest. As for the Fae, we forgive you 🤗🙏🏽😁. The ground garland is beautiful and definitely speaks to my practice of Ancestors of land, which includes the edibles, botanicals, animals, their nutritional/healing benefits as well as spiritual lessons, the Fae (heehee had to say it), etc. Apple wine!!! Hope you are sharing the how to!! 🤣😂🤣 you cuz out the birds! Girllll!! We’re eating their food 😂! You are in so much trouble when Transporter Pads are invented 😝. I will be over all the time as your tester monkey!! 🐒. I make an apple or blueberry crisp as part of ritual meal prep! This looks better!! So much better!! I know I am old enough to be your mama, but will you adopt me?! 😜 this actually reminds me of a dessert burrito I use to have on my birthday growing up! May I suggest making a Grand Marnier syrup to top the dessert with?! - okay, literally dancing over here heehee! - awesome music selection chica!!! - you would love my rum bunt cake! Apples for me are more a spiritual connection to the divine within, without, above and below, known and unknown. A connection to the matriarchal wisdom if the ages etc! Wow, got serious there for a minute! Loveddd!!!
You are the BEST with ypour lovely comments! I always loooove to read them
The witches' cookery ohhhh! Can’t wait for the fae, legends and lore videos!! Notice I pluralized it? 🤣. Like you, I also love learning about these things!
You are so funny 🤣 😘
Sometimes voluntary, sometimes on accident 😅❤️
@@Thewitchescookery authentically awesome 👌
I think your vlogs are getting better and better! All those apple made me swoon so hard!
Ah thanks - that means a lot to hear! I always try to improve 😄 how lovely that you did an student exchange in Germany - and what a lovely treat to have after a day at school! 🤤 Ahhh I have to watch your video now - I totally overlooked that but it sounds too amazing not to try haha I just wish I could find good whiskey here! Btw, I tried to find you on Instagram the other day as I wanted to DM you but couldn't find anything. Is there a way to message you?
The witches' cookery Aaaah whisky! I discovered it when I arrived in Scotland and I love it! Visiting Distilleries are so fun (and I love the tasting after the visit!) :-) I send you a dm from my instagram!
Favorite channel ever. My husband and I would like to come live with you!
Ahh you are so sweet! 😍 You would get soooo fat living with me - I have a compulsion to feed people haha your Mabon video is waiting in my watchlist for later, and I am already looking forward to sitting down with a cup of coffee later to watch it ☺️
