I loved this video, it brought back my childhood memories when I used to wonder around in my little backyard forest (and I’m 78 years old now) you are truly a gift to all sharing your adventures. . .thank you
That's so wonderful!! Thankyou so much
❤So true. I always ran barefoot and slept in the woods growing up as a child, (52 years old now). Recently I have been pulled to venture into my backyard which is a thick forest. I just have a little fear...because we have a Mama black bear with two cubs that comes through the yard constantly. You DO NOT want to startle a mama bear...also a lot of coyotes, bobcats, fisher cats...and so much more (A mountain lion was spotted recently) ...😊I think I will venture, but be really noisy about it and also bring my beautiful dog Haley with me...(She is very protective of me. She is 130lbs, Mix breed I rescued). I know she will know if something I shouldn't disturb is nearby.
Alwyn, I live vicariously through you every time I watch you take a walk in that incredible forest. I'm no longer physically able to do things like this, and you manage to bring back the memories of those lost sensations. So, thank you for that. Love, Patricia
Thankyou so much Patricia. Lots of love to you, hoping you are well
@@AlwynOak thanks, sweetie ♥️
You're so entertaining and watchable...you remind me of all the wonderful things in life and how enjoyable running and dancing was before I had balance problems!
Dear Patricia, you can still imagine... Be there in spirit and smell the earth and rain, hear the birds. Stay well xx
You are so right Alwyn, when you say you had wanted to travel the world, but now you see the wonder of the world in Mother Nature's tiniest creations on your own very lovely doorstep. I feel like that about my small local patch too, and feel thankful. Mindfulness and grounding in these blessed places, how lucky we are!! xx
What type of trees do pyu have around you
I live in the forest too and there is just nothing so magickal. It's ever changing and gifting us with so many treasures.
Aww yay so happy for you! The magic of nature can just heal and just transform us!!!!!
Forests are the best way to forge deep connection with nature...
I really loved this post today. Seeing you becoming so excited and happy with every little treasure that you found in the enchanted woods, I couldn't help but be caught up in your excitement too. You inspire me to want to spend some time down near the little brooke where I live and do some exploring for myself. Thank you for sharing your lovely day with us. 🌿🍃🌲💚
Thank you so much! Enjoy your forest adventure!
February born people are very rare and your one of them ❤
Oh my!!! Hehe thankyou 💚✨️💚
@@AlwynOak you're most welcome my dear
My mum was born on February 1st ❤
Alwyn is indeed very rare. I love her whimsical personality. She makes me smile every time I watch her videos. 🌳🌱🌿💚❇️🍀🌲
@@Ddeonubread she is very rare and special 🌼
Thank you Alwyn. You are a breath of fresh air. What a lovely place where you live.x
Thankyou Lynn! It is beautiful I'm very grateful 🙏
What I would give to have a zest for life like this once again.
same.
*hugs* Its really difficult sometimes
My 4 year old great granddaughter and I spend lots of time finding 🧚🏽 Fairies! Sharing time with her and them in the magical world is enchanting! Presently building tiny cottages and will send u a picture! Thanks for this video❤
I love going with you on your adventures in the forest I am 65 years old and can't go on many adventures any more. ❤ Thank you Alwyn for you amazing adventures that you share with us. ❤❤❤
An hour vid from my FAVOURITE witch!!! 😱 SO EXCITED to watch tonight ❤
Hehehee !!! Hope you enjoy 🧚🏻♂️🙂🍄💚
That mug/cup/bowl is a "guksi" we have them in Scandinavia and Russia (Sapmi) Traditionally made from a birch burl. A lot of tradition on how to make, use and clean them (not to damage them) Every man, woman and child has one (often plastic these days and they can be used and cleaned as any plastic) and they have been around for a very long time. Thank you for yet another beautiful video. Greetings from Sapmi
Thankyou so much for the information !! I was looking for a wooden cup and it stood out to me! 💚🧚🏻♂️
I live by a forest 🌳 and mountains such enchanting magical 🧙 energy and love 💕
Loved Every Second of Every Minute...Thank You Alwyn My Anxiety & Mood Has Improved Immensely, You worked Your Beautiful Natural Magic As Only You Can Do "Wonderful" 🌿🌳💚
Awww I'm so glad!! It's amazing what nature can do, even through a screen it speaks so much! 💚🙂🧚🏻♂️
I love how you feel about your forest. It's a magical thing to be able to connect like that with nature. There's an abandoned little forest down the valley behind my house, I go there all the time and it's become "my" forest somehow. ❤ Like a sanctuary that only belongs to me and my imagination.
Amazing! The sticks, the "R", the rune, the meaning. Talk about synchroniaities. You can't make this stuff up. It's flowing down a path just like a stream. I love going into the enchanted woods with you even though I'm not physically there, but my spirit is😂. Everything is so beautiful and meaningful I can't find a favorite part. It's all a treasure. And to come home to Charlie and a nice cup of tea is the perfect ending to a perfect adventure. I was so mesmerized time flew by in a blink. I love it so much! Thank you!🌱❤🍃❤🌿❤☘️
I know right!! I was just spechless... when my partner came back I couldn't describe what I'd seen or witnessed, I just said 'wait for the video' hahaha!
Yes, that would be hard to put into words, but when he sees the video and gets his feet wet, he'll understand perfectly!😁❤️
One of my favorite sayings is "you can't make this stuff up" LOVE the video and the adventure.
I love thy moss and trees 🌲 such beauty in nature and thy animals
hi Alwyn, i just want to thank you so much for each video that you make because each of them always brings back to me so much joy, playfuness and and very good emotions. i would love to have a friend like you because i love going to forest too and bring home with me with gratitude the gifts that mother nature decides to give me. your enthusiam is very contageous and you bring fresh air and lift away heaviness through your videos. thank you and keep sharing with us your fay adventures :) much love dear and many blessings
If you put moss in a glass jar/bowl, a like bit of water just to keep the humidity right, and seal the top, even with just plastic wrap, it keeps and grows a long time. 😊 I did this at my parents' house Christmas 2022, and when I went to see them again this January, it was still doing great. They live across the country from me, so I don't see them often.
Yes! I did this before and it is still living!! (like 3 years ago) I can confirm that the piece of moss that I left on the piece of wood... is now dead lol!!!!!!!!!!! Next time, bottle!!!
My 10 year old son keeps me young. We go on adventures like this regularly
Dearest Alwyn, I’d love to thank you so much for being such an inspiration to me. I’ve been stuck in such a rut I haven’t really left my house. I watched this lovely video in its entirety and you’ve inspired me to go exploring again . I live in a suburban neighborhood but just outside was a creek I’ve always wanted to visit. I didn’t know how to get there( the neighborhood is new and the maps are very inaccurate) at one point I sat down and gave up. I don’t know what prompted me to walk around some more but I did and I found it! It was as if by magick because I had no idea where I was going for once I listened to myself and I even found my way home and my phone was dead it was quite incredible. It was like all of a sudden I had a sense of direction which I never do! (I don’t know this area at all I never leave home) I took a stuffed animal with me because I was afraid of exploring alone and I wanted eyes behind me I’m just so proud of myself I can’t wait to go back 🔮
Thank you Alwyn so much for this video today!!! You are such a sweet & caring soul!!! I find myself smiling while watching your adventures in the Enchanted Woods. All my love, Terri ❤
Aww thankyou Terri!! I really feel like I'm on an adventure with you! 💚✨️🌲🧚🏻♂️
I loved this video so much and love the quote into the forest i go to lose my mind and find my soul is one of my favorites i love the connection you have with nature a connection i think we all need blessings this spring ❤💚✌🏼🌿🩷🌎🙏🧚🏻♂️🩵🍄🌸❤️🧚🏿🧚🏻♂️🧚🏻♂️🤭😘
This video, truthfully, made me somewhat emotional. Alwyn, i lived in the redwood forests of northern California's coast for a short 3 years while going to school there. I had never in my life felt so happy to live in a location. There was a sacred forest behind a bog that i visited often. I would lay down in the moss with my bare feet in the flowing creek, with a gateway just as your creek has. I felt my most connected to the world in that forest. Now, living 5 hours away from there, my heart aches daily for its comfort. One day i will return to my sacred grove and it will be the same as I left it, always flowing, nature's sentinel.
Merry meet my fairy 🧚 sistar ✨ blessed be 🌛🌝🌜
Yes I completely understand the magic of tea time. The simple gratitude is so fullfilling and serene.
Yes!! Thankyou for this!
This video was pure magick! Thank you for all your passion and creativity in making it and thank you so much for sharing this! I was thrilled when I saw that branch with the wild honeysuckle? Overhere it is a very old custom to make a 'goastok' (I'm from the netherlands) from it. They used it to go to the neigbours knock on the door with it and tell them about a birth or a death or a wedding. Or any important occasion. They decorated it with flowers or green matching with the occasion! It was also used for a pilgrimage or a quest. I loves to see that it's very rare nowadays! ❤️
You are such a lovely breath of fresh air 💚I can't pick just one thing lol because i loved them all! Thank you so much for taking us along with you on your lovely nature walk. It is truly Beautiful in your woods. Thank you for the recipes and Wonderful ideas. Happy belated Birthday lovely 🎂I hope it was Wonderful. Your Beau is so lucky to have you 🥰🥰
After going on this walk with you, and being immersed in the forest and living vicariously through your joy, the beauty of The Heart and the water and the gateway the stream carves through almost brought me to tears. I've been a skeptic for so long and it was enchanting going on this journey.
Dear Alwyn, you're joy, just shines through your videos. I have always dreamed of finding a place like you have. Sending you light ,love. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I thought it might be good to mention that the blue lotus flower is known for containing psychoanalytic drugs, known to cause hallucinations. I'd recommend being careful while consuming it. Aside from that, lovely video!
I used to play in the woods on our farm, I still love the forest. When I’m having anxiety I always think about the woods!
Your videos are so comforting I’m home sick and I feel so comforted by this video my inner child is happy and content thank you ❤❤❤
I just got crazy deja vu watching your video. I'm a baby witch and have been having a lot of dreams lately and been feeling called to finally start my practice. I really enjoyed your video, it was very relaxing. Blessed be.
Trees are the medicine people of the plant Kingdom.
These videos are always so relaxing and inspiring! I journeyed to my own enchanted wood full of mossy rocks and waterfalls this morning, and I felt like I was in my own Alwyn video. Then came home to enjoy a new video! 💚💚💚
Wonderful!
How I adore you,💚💚💚 you are like a spring bird!! You lifted my Sunday mood like a ray of sunshine)))😘😘😘
Especially loved the secret swamp and the nest you made. And we get to enjoy your lovely music too. Thank you 💚
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful day in the Enchanted Woods 🌲🧚♀️🌲🧚🧚♂️🌲
Thankyou so much! It was a joy to spend it with you!
Beautiful 🤩 I love fae , fairies 🧚 and gnomes and Elvin’s
I adore your altar such fairy 🧚♀️ vibes
You are so lucky to have your own "secret Garden" 😊💚🧚♂️🌿 🗝...much love 🥰
hehe thankyou! It is 'our' secret garden to share!
@@AlwynOak so true.thank you AlwynOak for giving us all a key 🗝 to the secret Garden 🧚♂️🌿
You are fantastic, Alwyn. I find it sad that you have to post "If you have clicked on this video to post hateful comments, please think twice". For one, how could ANYONE have any hate in their heart for you? You are so wonderful. Thanks for your videos, they really help me out when I'm in a magical slump. Secondly... yes, think twice before you throw hate at a witch, dearies... ;) Anyway, just wanted to say I've been watching your videos for a while and you really are an inspiration and you help me back up when I feel less witchy than normal. Much love xo
Aw thankyou! You are very kind! It's sad the kind of messages I sometimes receive and I think I wrote that in a sad mood 🤣🤣 I deal with negative comments alot better now!!! But thankfully I really don't get many ! Thankyou so much 🤭💚☀️🧚🏻♂️🌲🌳🧸
Alwyn thank you so much for sharing your adventures in the Enchanted Woods 🪵 ✨️ 💕. Always love your videos, so peaceful, relaxing and refreshing brings me such comfort to my soul. Love the pirate wand!! And your altar is very warm and charming 😊
Thank you for another wonderful video. Your adventures are fun and sweet. Love your creations with what you find. 💚
Another lovely video 💚💚💚so many great bits - the sticks 🧡 the mini cones - the sparkling rain - the teas & snack - fairy alter - loved it all 💛🖤💚
I just love your channel ..... The way you practice witchcraft and yes being who you are reminds me so much of my own way of being. However, I am about to be an older witch now, but your energy helps me to start my own and remember that the simple life in nature is the most nourishing. Today I am 54 years old, but already in my earliest childhood I was enchanted by nature and the creatures that live in it. My health is not what it should be, but I know the importance of getting out into nature as often as possible... although winter often makes it too cold to stay out there for a long time, I do my best to get out... I live as a witch myself,... most of the time as a solitaire, but also in a coven of witches... In 2009 I founded a coven of witches called moonsisters here in Denmark where I live... We have ever since made small picture films and now yes more than just small films from our collections... and also have a channel... For me it is just so enriching to see others also create as much magic in life as possible. .. So I just want to say that it is a pleasure to watch your movies... sending you Love end light
My favorite spot was the tree with the dragons head n what you called Grandmother Yew..it does remind me of Grandmother Willow, thank you for sharing your adventures
Same boots, same woods, same lookingglass🎉 Greetings from afar my sister ❤
At around 2 min 55 seconds, there is an orb that moved left to right in the video shot of the trees. Feel like it was definitely a fairy 🧚♀️
Aww that was a smudge on the window 🙈🙈🙈🙈 I thought the same thing whilst editing it though hehehe!!
your life is such a dream. you are such an inspiration. I hope to one day live somewhere where i can frolic in the woods. I might be an old lady at that point, but I'm ok with being the wild witch in the woods.
I love your videos, but today I'm laughing all the time because I remembered how every autumn my neighbor goes on a mushroom picking trip with a bottle of vodka. If he drinks half, magic happens, and if he drinks the rest, he is grounded, usually under a tree 😂
🤣🤣🤣 amazing
Love your work! Thanks for posting
Another fun video thank you 😊the wooden cup you have is called a kuksa, a traditional cup originating from the Sami people and very popular with Scandinavian's. 💗
I love this video . I just can’t choose a favorite place ! It was all so breathtaking. 🧚🏻♀️🌱🌿🍃🌾☘️🍂🪵
Secret Garden is an Inbolc or Ostara movie. So sweet.
I absolutely love the beginning of spring 🌱 thank you for this video!
Welcome Synchronicities!!! = coincidences that are not actually. Happens to me all the time and it makes me speechless always!😊😉
Fairy Island was my favourite- to see your old altar still there. LOVELY. With winter slowly fading here in N. Saskatchewan (Canada) your videos make me yearn to see my own Grandfather Tree. I think I will ask him his name this year. Our forests tho, have black bear and other critters in them. I don't dare venture too far into them. LOL
The birch haven’t awakened near me yet. The scotch broom has bloomed. 💜💜💜
This channel is absolutely stunning
Aww thankyou so much darling!
Thank you Alwyn you always lift my spirits. From NZ❤
TY for being an inspiration to my spiritual side. I am a very new witch and I Love when I watch these videos that I see as my "elders", on "how to celebrate" each holiday or a spell or just bc & I just HAPPEN to already be doing in the Moment or that I planned to do or had a Strong sensation to do. YAY! I'm Finally on the right path. I can Feel it. My walk will be a snowshoe bc I live at 10,000' or 3048 meters 😉 in the Rockies. I Have however discovered some Fae homes in the canyon walls & the icey mini caves on the stream, a perfect place to hibernate 🧚🏼♀️. I Will start putting effort into my channel to share the beauty around me bc this is Not a place many witches decide to stay😂 (its too political) but it IS beautiful. Ty for inspiring me to share the beauty around me with others 💕
That is a marvelous bag! Just like Mary Poppins!!!
Wow it's so green in Feb.
Your truly magical, nothing weird in this twisted world ,but I loved you dearly from afar ,knowing we would never met ,but life has to have dreams ,then a video I seen your ring and my heart sank ,stupid you may feel .But a seriously lucky man loves you now ,and I move on in this ethereal world .Happiness and love for you both
I have missed you!!! love you❤❤❤😊😊😊
Eeee missed you too darling! 💚💚
I love your videos! I have been watching for a while but this is the first time I’ve commented. Your videos are beautiful and inspiring. I just wanted to thank you for sharing them.
Fantastic, thank you. Greetings from the Nederlands.
Best video yet, thank you Alwyn ❤
I love this video Alwyn. I t was a bit of a mad week for me last week. So to have your video to watch was just what I needed. Did you notice at 14.10 mins in the video just as you were looking at the large wooden magnifying glass the tree behind you had a face?? 😄💜 x
My favorite place to connect with nature is Frog Bay Tribal park which is a First Nation park from where I live in Wisconsin. They have a take nothing policy so most of it is in its natural state allowing to connect with the land as is
Love getting cozy and watching your videos 😊 thank you for being your authentic self ❤
Thankyou so much Hannah! 💚🧚🏻♂️
@@AlwynOakIn spades!
I love the little fey nest!!
Loved this 💚
Dear Alwyn, this video is wonderful!
Interesting! I am not a “pink color” lady, but have been drawn to the color pink lately! 💜💜💜
I loved it all especially the signs of spring, the hazy pools of sunlight and the tiny downpour. Thank you for sharing your love of nature!
Aww Alwyn that was so lovely just hearing your voice just magical loved it all you are a wee star thank you for all your hard work xx
Thank dear Alwyn for sharing the forest with us all. Truely appreciate all the effort you do to bring these magical videos.Blessings to you 💜
My favorite place was the one that looked like a 'sea' of rich, green moss; my favorite part was when you 'listened' to the fae about what they wanted you to gift them with - the nest fort - and what they had gifted you with - the mini cone on your coat. I too "hang' with the fae - the gnomes and elves whose home bases are the waterfalls near my remote home deep in a vast forest.
How much I love watching your magical fairy life… I love that moss gate you found and your granny willow tree. ❤ Oh and the view of the forest that looks like a fake backdrop. You should take a picture of it and blow it up. Like huge…to make it a wall background in your home. Or create a wall paper and sell it!
Such a beautiful video. Magical!!
I've been on a healing journey and sought advisement to seek what I was like prior to the years of abuse and trauma I endured. I remember. It took time of healing and quietness. I remember now being a little girl, roaming the woods, staring at trees for hours. Stare at trees out windows wherever i was too. I loved rocks, gems, crystals, and was drawn to fae and fantasy. Sadly though I was brought up in a strict christian household and was routinely abused and told I was going to hell for loving the "occult". I took on the shame for decades, confusion why family would say things like this to me, so does family do that? I believed wrongly for years that I was evil and bad. I FINALLY know that is not true! I was lied to. I was kept back from my true self. I know now, and I was brought to your channel and this video. I reminded me of my journeys to the woods as a young girl, my spirituality has always been with Nature. 💚
🧡 sending you healing love 🧡
Todo tan mágico ❤ me encanta 😊
This was truly magical, thank you so much💖💖🧚♂️🧚♀️🧚
Thank you for this video! You care deeply about the forest, and I want to encourage you to keep learning about how to be a good keeper of such a sacred space. In my area, honeysuckle and ivy (the green climbing up the trees) is highly invasive due to their lack of insect predators and spreading/strangulation of native trees and ground plants. I do invasive species removal at my local park. By removing them, you help to create space for the native plant species which your local insects and animals have evolved to rely on. Sometimes invasive species are beautiful and have benefits, but to be a good steward it's important to nurture your local native environment and enjoy it's blessings as well. ❤ not sure if these things are invasive in your area, just thought you'd like to know since you researched honeysuckle!
❤❤❤what a great adventure! And thank you to your guides !
Thank you for this video! ❤
Thank you Alwyn for sharing your magical adventure with us! As always: It's a wonderful video ❣🧚♀🌲💚
You inspire and remind me of the joy of time spent in the woods, thank you!!!! And I love all the gadgets you fin to enhance your adventures ❤
Standing ovation to nature and the world in this video. 🙌👏🙌
Another wonderful video, such an amazing forest 😊 I love the mossy den, I would love to lie down there and smell the earth 🌎 🍃 🍂 ☘️ 🍁 🍀 🌿 Thank you Alwyn x
Ah yes it's so fresh there!!! 🧚🏻♂️💚🧚🏻♂️
