Nordic pagan yule food is deeply rooted in the traditional celebrations of Yule, the winter solstice festival of the Nordic pagan religion. This festival, which later influenced modern Christmas celebrations, marked the end of the darkest time of the year and the return of the sun. One of the main aspects of Nordic pagan yule food is the use of ingredients that are readily available during the winter months, such as root vegetables, game meat, and preserved foods. **Preserved foods** played a vital role in Nordic pagan yule food due to the scarcity of fresh produce during the winter. Fermented or pickled foods, such as sour cabbage and pickled herring, were commonly consumed. They provided a way to preserve the bounty of the summer months and added unique flavors to the meals.

Egyptian Magic

With its unique formula, Egyptian Magic Skin Cream contains no additives, added preservatives, parabens or GMO ingredients, instead we utilize the natural preservatives found in our ingredients and are able to provide an effective balm. Egyptian Magic All-Purpose Skin Cream “The People’s Choice” is made with the blessings and guidance of our ancestors and with the following pure ingredients: Olive Oil, Bees Wax, Honey, Bee Pollen, Royal Jelly, Bee Propolis & Divine Love. Made in the United States

How to use

Because Egyptian Magic is a solidified, oil-based product, you will see the best results if you soften it by warming it up before applying it. Take a small amount and rub it in your hands until it softens and turns into oil, then gently apply to your skin. A little Egyptian Magic goes a long way. If you are applying to your hair, warm it up and then gently rub it into the ends of your hair. You can also apply it to your hair and scalp as a hair mask. Just let it sit for an hour or more, and then wash it out with shampoo. Dab it on your face to highlight your cheekbones with a natural glow, or apply under your eyes to help with dark circles and dehydrated tissue. Gently apply over wet skin after a shower or bath for all-over hydration.

Ingredients

Egyptian Magic is made of Honey, Beeswax, Olive Oil, Royal Jelly, Bee Pollen and Bee Propolis. Our unique process combines these six simple ingredients to create a moisturizing balm unlike any other. That’s it. No additives, preservatives, fragrances, chemicals or parabens.

Egyptian Magic Skin Cream: A Multitude of Uses for This Multifaceted Potion

Typically, I do everything I can to remove grease and oil from my face. At 25, with adult acne and a slew of medications to combat it, I never thought I’d actually slather my face with anything oil based. I’ve tried coconut oil, as well as oil-based cleansers, and they never seemed to perform any magic.

Egyptian Magic, on the other hand, might have a few tricks up its sleeve. Containing only six ingredients, the cult beauty favorite has been around since the early ’90s, and it’s easy to see why it’s become such a must-have item.

My first impressions upon investigation were that it did seem very similar in the style of packaging to Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap (with the prayers and simple fonts). The red font, coupled with the blue and white background, screams drugstore product, but EM seems to fall somewhere in the middle. Price/size wise, I would have to call it “lower to middle high end,” with a 2-oz. jar ringing in at $26 and a 4-oz. jar coming in just under $40 (though you can also purchase it at drugstores).

Touted as an “all-purpose skin cream,” Egyptian Magic contains six ingredients that are said to be identical to a formula found in ancient tombs. While I’m not sure of that, I am sure that this formulation is somewhat of a miracle worker when it comes to difficult skin.

Here are just a few of the different ways I’ve used it over the past two weeks:

As an eyebrow tamer and conditioner

Seriously, I don’t know what possessed me to put this on my eyebrows, but something told me, “Marcy, put it on your damn brows. It’ll do them good.” And it did. I found that just dabbing my finger in the cream and applying before bed left my brows silky and soft (all the better for filling, my dear).

Note: it looks slightly wet if applied too heavily.

As a cuticle cream

This was sort of a “duh” moment for me. Applying EM to my cuticles daily and letting it sink in (5-10 minutes) is like heaven for my constant hangnails. I typically do so before bed, but if you have to during the day, it won’t make too much of a mess.

A moisturizer

A few times during testing I found myself without my regular moisturizer, or that I had forgotten my moisturizer. I was also moving at this time, and at one point, all of my products, except this one, which was in my purse, were packed away. Enter Egyptian Magic. Slathered on my face and properly rubbed in, I could go about my day without looking greasy. I didn’t exactly look matte, but I didn’t look overly oily, you get me?

A spot treatment

Also packed away were my acne treatments. Dabbing this on any problem areas has kept the few spots that have reared their ugly heads (literally) away for the last few days. Stress zits are real, ya’ll, especially when you stay up until 5 a.m. on the day your lease ends moving the last of your possessions (and your terrified cats).

To relieve hives/allergic reactions

I have a severe mold allergy, and due to some wayward mushrooms I found myself with a tiny patch of hives. This product did the trick better than the prescription cream an allergist (that I spent potentially hundreds on) prescribed me. Additionally, my boyfriend had a strange allergic reaction at this time, resulting in red welts on his arms, and rubbing a little bit of EM on his arms daily helped the itching.

As a lip balm

The first thing I thought of to apply this as was a lip balm. NYC winters and the winds that come with them can be extra harsh, and up until a few days ago, it was mighty cold around here. When I applied the cream to my lips, it was slightly exfoliating at first (TMI, that might have just been because of all the dead skin on my lips), and then came the pillowy softness and the realization, IS THIS WHAT SOFT LIPS FEEL LIKE? Applying this before bed and after a lip scrub will have you ready for any lipstick.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoy this product. The only thing I own that is similar that I have enjoyed is Lush’s Ultrabalm. For $14.95 for 1.4 oz., it’s just slightly more expensive per ounce than the 4-oz. jar of Egyptian Magic. While Ultrabalm is vegan, I feel it doesn’t have as many uses as its contender. EM is a thoroughly universal product that anyone can find a practical use for.

Egyptian Magic Skin Cream: A Multitude of Uses for This Multifaceted Potion / Originally published March 18th, 2016

Egypitan magic

Ich hatte die Creme als Probe bekommen und sie nach dem Schwimmtraining aufgetragen. Die Verpackung machte mich ehrlich gesagt skeptisch. Sie sieht auch einfach nach Vaseline aus und riecht auch ein bisschen so. Ich schaute dann noch einmal bei Codecheck rein, ob das mit rechten Dingen zugeht und dort erschien alles grün an Inhaltsstoffen. Also probierte ich sie trotzdem einfach mal aus. Gerade wenn die Haut beansprucht und ausgetrocknet vom Chlor ist, ist diese Creme wunderbar. Man braucht auch wirklich nur eine kleine Menge und die Haut fühlt sich geschmeidig und "versorgt" an. Mein Freund benutzt die Creme auch nach dem Schwimmen und ist genauso begeistert.

Ich nehme jeden Tag ein winziges bisschen nach meinem Serum und verteile es auf meinem Gesicht, bevor ich mein Make-Up auftrage. Diese Crème lässt es goldig aussehen, ohne fettig zu wirken. Ich muss im Prinzip nicht mal Puder tragen, obwohl meine supertrockene Haut bestens genährt ist. Seit 3 Wochen mache ich das nun so, und ganz ehrlich, meine Haut ist wirklich besser geworden - und zwar in dem Sinne, dass meine Rötungen verschwunden sind und meine Haut besser abheilt. Hatte daran gezweifelt, sie so unter dem Make-Up zu tragen und sah mich schon als wandelnde Ölspur, aber es ist einfach perfekt :)

Ich hatte mir diese Creme mit dem Probenservice von Amazingy bestellt - und bin sehr froh, dass es diesen gibt! Er hat mich vor einem teuren Fehlkauf bewahrt.
Ich hatte mir diese Creme als Gesichtscreme gekauft. Schon nach der ersten Anwandung fühlte sich meine Haut seltsam an. Ich verwende schonmal über Nacht Kokosöl, aber ich hatte noch nie am nächsten morgen so ein fettiges Gefühl auf der Haut. Meine Haut sah irgendwie ungepflegt aus und es hatten sich kleine Pickelchen und Unterlagerungen gebildet. So seltsam hat meine Haut noch nie auf ein Produkt reagiert, deswegen habe ich es einige Tage länger nur als Augencreme weiter verwendet. Aber auch hier hatte ich nach zwei Wochen nicht das Gefühl, dass es meine Haut pflegt. Da greife ich lieber auf das günstige und pflegende Kokosöl aus dem Reformhaus zurück.

They provided a way to preserve the bounty of the summer months and added unique flavors to the meals. **Root vegetables** were another essential component of Nordic pagan yule food. Vegetables like turnips, rutabagas, carrots, and potatoes were readily available and formed the base of many traditional dishes.

These hearty ingredients were often used in stews or roasted, providing a warm and filling meal during the cold winter months. **Game meat** was a prominent feature of Nordic pagan yule food, as hunting played a crucial role in providing sustenance during the winter. Meats such as reindeer, boar, and venison were commonly consumed. They were often slow-roasted or used in stews, adding rich flavors and textures to the festive meals. **Spices and herbs** also had an important role in Nordic pagan yule food. Although spices were not as readily available in the Nordic regions, the use of herbs such as juniper, bay leaves, and thyme added depth and complexity to the dishes. These flavors helped to elevate simple ingredients and create a more festive and indulgent experience. Overall, the Nordic pagan yule food showcases the resourcefulness and adaptability of the people during the long, dark winter months. The use of preserved foods, root vegetables, game meat, and flavorful herbs and spices created a unique culinary tradition that has influenced the modern celebration of Christmas in the Nordic countries..
