This is so sweet. It reminds me of my teenage years spent alone in the woods, throughout both day and night and all the seasons. It's nice to see that you have such reverence for the woods and the natural, "real" world. Trees have a different conciousness than we do, there's a wisdom few understand. This is the first video I've seen of yours and I'm sure to watch more. Thank you for sharing with us. 🍁🍂🎃
I live in Louisiana, only a couple of miles away from a very large swamp that divides the state almost in half. I am loving your videos. Even though it is intensely hot here this time of year, I love our winters, which are very temperate. We have a House on land, and we also have a houseboat that is parked in the swamp. When spending the night on the boat, I take my baths in the swamp. There is a very large alligator who claims the area that our boat is parked as his territory. He has never bothered me. I have taken my bath in the water at night by the light of one lamp, and after climbing out of the water, I have turned around to see him emerge from the surface only 6 feet away from where I was bathing. I know people love to be afraid of everything, but I have taken my baths this close to a very large male alligator, and he’s only watched me with curiosity. We have tons of Live Oak trees here, we have several of them in our yard on land. Some of the trees here are protected because they are over 500 years old. We also have lots of Cypress. There are ancient cypress trees preserved at the bottom of every body of water here. These trees have been underwater for thousands of years, and when they died, they were 2000 years old. I have a cross-section of one as my living room coffee table. This tree in my living room was a sapling before Christ walked the earth. I love nature and I feel very connected to the spiritual realm. It is indeed healing. I was an atheist for over a decade, but I always had poltergeist activity in every home I’ve ever lived in. I had an amazing encounter with Christ that completely changed me. He is nothing like modern religions portray him. I could see nature, the cosmos, and all of creation in his eyes. I see him in your videos, even though most Christians would definitely categorize these rituals as pagan. I see him in this, not in mega churches. God bless you and keep you
I loved this simple ritual, bring more of these simple things that I did in witchcraft to learn, I will try to adapt this ritual for myself. Thank you so much and love to you Alwyn.
oh my god, i've just run across your channel by chance (though i imagine it's because i watch cerridwen cottage as well) and the map you've created of the land is so inspiring to me! seriously, for some reason, seeing that filled me with a kind of energy i only feel very rarely... this is a very magical video indeed! i'd like to make my own maps, now. that's really special, thank you for this! and can't wait to see more videos!!! hope you're doing well
this is a great video, i love your voice! your map of the forest gave me inspirations, as well as the ritual itself! thank you for posting this. i feel so relaxed now :). Happy Samhain!!!
Halloween is my favorite time of year. Wonderful video. There's something special about you that I cant explain. I think you may be the real deal. Keep up the great work...
Nature is a wonderful thing, quill pens are also cool they're by far the best n smoothest pen's for writing and drawing in my opinion!🙂, this was a great little video thanks enchanting one!🥰💜✌️
Thank you sister. What a beautiful ritual, as I listened to you explain the playful element of the last leaf I was crying, remembering how I missed these playful rituals I used to do last year but can't no longer because I can't walk.
Lovely and Peaceful Video. I also Love to collect Leaves. My favorites are Oak and Maple Leaves. They are also my 2 favorite trees besides the Magnolia. Tree Branches are also collected on my walks as well. 🌳🌳🍁🍂🍂🍁🌳🌳
Thankyou so much my love! ✨🌳 I love the magnolia tree also (well all trees 😂) but the magnilia especially when in the spring the flowers come before the leaves 🌸🌸 have a lovely day 🌳✨
I would love so much to live near a forest like that. I grew up wondering through the woods and my town has cut most of the woods down for neighborhoods. I enjoyed this video 💜
I am attending college as an education major. Currently, I’m logging my internship hours at a preschool. This seems like a perfect pre-halloween activity for the kids!
Another lovely video. This really is a time for reflection and for setting our intentions as we embark on a new year-great idea with the leaves. What’s the weather like where you live? I’d love to see a video where you tell us more about yourself!
Thankyou so much my love! Absolutely it's the best time for reflection and I love how it's a metaphor for autumn to 'let go' Oh wow thankyou! I must admit I have been a bit nervous to do a face to face video but perhaps I'll do that next week!! ☺️ The weather is good here thankyou, a bit unpredictable (generally changed from sunny to rainy in five minutes) but try to embrace all weathers! What about you sweet? ☺️✨🌳
Alwyn Oak At least you have some sunny days that are warm enough to go play in the woods! I live in New Jersey-it’s getting cold, generally in the low 50s Fahrenheit. I look forward to learning more about you. I just put up my wicker pentacle and am going to be throwing a virtual Samhain party. Blessed be and enjoy the holiday!
*Beautiful, Enchanted One!* I think, I found one of the leaves near to my garden! Thanks for sending it. I appreciate it. The Lonely Oak is so cool! 0:23 , 5:03 ! What a great scene! Awesome vlog, Alwyn! Btw. I enjoy the energy of leaves on the ground very much, it's my favourite time, and it helps me a lot. Especially my WiFi is loving it!!! All the best!
Awww im glad you feel the same! The turn of the season is always so beautiful 😊🌳✨ The lonely Oak is amazing, funny story as I never realised until it was there until I went past it as the sun was setting and it was shinning upon it sooo brightly it stood out like a sore thumb 😊✨🌳
@@AlwynOak Cool! We can (and we will) always find or discover something new in this world, that's for sure! There are still new pieces of the "puzzle" waiting to be found! Like the tree. Have a nice day! Take care.
Aww yay thankyou so much!! Yes it's so customisable to anything you'd like or drawn to really! I forgot to mention that if you were in a safe area you could always burn the leaf on a bonfire that's a great way to get rid of one! Blessed samhain 😊🌳🍃
Wish I had someplace beautiful like this closeby. Will have to make a trip up to the hills a bit away from me. It’s my peaceful place🍁Have a Blessed Samhain Sister🍁
How lovely you live near this beautiful forest , I don’t live near any thing like this, I have park as I live in East London. I would love to do this ritual. Samhain Blessings 💖🐩🐩💖🐾🐾👍👍🍂🍁🌾🕊🌈
Aww lovely, I am sure the park is beautiful, I used to live in the city, difficult to find a wood but a leaf is always blowing around somewhere! 😂 I hope it goes well! Blessed Samhain 🍃🌳✨
I do something similar except I sit and talk to the tree while I wait. Once a leaf falls I catch it and place it in a pouch I made that I wear near my heart. Chatting and waiting for another to fall.
This is one of far too many videos in which women use Samhain as a backdrop for what’s essentially a fall fashion and makeup show. Look how pretty I am, how gorgeous my clothes, how striking my makeup, blah blah blah. Listen to how elegant my affected accent sounds. Look how lithe I appear skipping through the woods I “journeyed to.” Didn’t walk, bike or drive but “journeyed.”
What a wonderful ritual! I really enjoyed the calmness, beauty and simplicity of this
Thankyou sweet 🖤🖤
Luv this lady!

@@AlwynOak Truly! Tuning into the rhythms of nature is a beautiful frequency.✨
Hello ❤ what part of the work do you live in?
I do something similar except I sit and talk to the tree while I wait. Once a leaf falls I catch it and place it in a pouch I made that I wear near my heart. Chatting and waiting for another to fall.
This year I decided to be a Witch
🍄 🤩🤍
