Omorovicza Magic Moisture Mist is a refreshing and hydrating facial mist that provides instant moisture and helps to revitalize the skin. This revitalizing mist is formulated with potent ingredients that not only provide hydration but also soothe and protect the skin. One of the key ingredients in the Omorovicza Magic Moisture Mist is Hungarian thermal water. This water is renowned for its healing and nourishing properties, as it is rich in minerals and nutrients that can benefit the skin. The thermal water helps to hydrate and rejuvenate the skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and replenished. In addition to the Hungarian thermal water, the mist also contains niacinamide, which is a form of vitamin B3.
In traditional Pagan style, a festival wouldn’t be complete without joyous celebration – dancing, drink flowing and giving blessings to the deities for the harvest that would have ensured the safety of our community into the colder months. Beer and whisky are significant to this festival as the grains provide wheat, hops and barley for those delicious beverages. Cheers!
The term Lammas is also derived from loaf mass which is synonymous with the baking of the harvest bread that is made and shared amongst the community. The outcome for this last piece of crop was the same though it would be made in to a corn dolly to house the spirit of the fields until she could be returned when planting for the following year.
In addition to the Hungarian thermal water, the mist also contains niacinamide, which is a form of vitamin B3. Niacinamide has multiple benefits for the skin, including improving the skin's elasticity, reducing redness, and brightening the complexion. This ingredient helps to improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin.
Lammas and Corn Dollies
For as far back as people have farmed the earth, communities have honoured the cyclical nature of the year. The Celtic Wheel marks eight festivals, including summer and winter solstices and autumn and spring equinoxes. Interspersed between these are Samhain (commonly known as Halloween), Imbolc (Candlemas), Beltane (May Day eve) and Lammas or Lughnasadh.
Wheel of the Year
“These festivals, which go back to time immemorial, are part of the deep oneness with Nature that the people of olden days experienced…”
Doreen Valiente, An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present
Lammas is traditionally celebrated on 1st August and is the festival of the first harvests of the year, specifically the grain harvest. The name Lammas is from the Anglo-Saxon meaning Loaf-mass (hlafmaesse). Lughnasadh is also celebrated at this time and is the festival of Lugh, the Celtic sun god.
There is little evidence of how Lammas was celebrated in pre-Christian times, as records are scarce, but it was certainly adopted into the Christian year with the coming of Christianity to Britain. It is also a festival that is included in the pagan calendar and celebrated as one of the eight witches’ sabbats.
What is clear is that Lammas was the start of the hardest and most important part of the year for communities reliant on their crops and that traditions and superstitions have been passed down through time.
One belief was in that of a Harvest Spirit, who lived in the fields and who retreated ever further as the crops were harvested.
“Rural people believed the Harvest Spirit dwelt in the fields, and that as the reapers cut the corn the spirit was forced to retreat in to the ever-dwindling remainder. No man wished to be the one who destroyed her refuge, so the reapers took their turns to throw their sickles at the last stand of corn. It was then plaited in to a woman’s form – known as the corn-dolly or kern-baby – which represented the Harvest Spirit. This was set in a place of honour at the harvest supper”
The Reader’s Digest Folklore, Myths and Legends of Britain
A similar story is told by Dee Dee Chainey in A Treasury of British Folklore but she adds that in Cornwall and Devon, when the last standing corn was cut, there was a tradition of “crying the neck” where the reaper would shout there times “I ‘ave ‘un” and the other farmworkers reply, “What ‘ave ‘ee?”, with him replying, “the neck” to which everyone would cheer. The outcome for this last piece of crop was the same though – it would be made in to a corn dolly to house the spirit of the fields until she could be returned when planting for the following year.
Although the account above says the corn was plaited into a woman’s form, the word corn would have meant any food grain and dolly is more likely to be from the word idol rather than a doll shape. They were actually called harvest trophies before the term corn dolly was adopted and come in a variety of shapes or forms, only one of which is the human shaped female form. Many of the shapes are regional, such as (left to right) the Suffolk horseshoe, the Yorkshire spiral and the Staffordshire knot.
I looked to see if there was a Hertfordshire speciality before attempting my own corn dollies, but as there wasn’t, I tried a simple loop and a simple female form. Once I had started, I soon became grateful that I wasn’t trying a complex regional version as the plaiting is hard to keep uniform and the stalks soon become tangled in each other.
The grain stalks I used are windblown oat stalks found along a field edge, and on the “doll” the arms are meadow grasses plaited together.
I will display the corn dollies to give harvest thanks and will keep them for luck until, as the tradition goes, I will return them to the fields for the seeds to grow once more and for the Harvest Spirit to return to her home.

Review: I was really disappointed with the Omorovicza magic moisture mist. I had high hopes for this product, but it ended up being a waste of money for me. The mist feels more like a heavy spray and it left my skin feeling sticky and greasy. I also didn't notice any improvement in the hydration of my skin despite using it for several weeks. Overall, I would not recommend this product.

Review: The Omorovicza magic moisture mist did not work well for my skin at all. From the first time I used it, I noticed a strong scent that was too overpowering for me. It also made my skin feel tight and dry instead of moisturized. I tried using it multiple times, hoping it was just a one-time thing, but the same thing happened. I would not recommend this mist to anyone with sensitive or dry skin.

Review: I was excited to try the Omorovicza magic moisture mist based on the positive reviews I had read, but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The mist felt refreshing upon application, but it did not provide the long-lasting hydration that I was looking for. I found myself needing to reapply throughout the day, which was inconvenient. Additionally, the mist left a slightly sticky residue on my skin, which I did not enjoy. Overall, I was not impressed with this product.
