    Hello Enchanted Ones 💚
    Welcome back! I am so excited to share this video and tell you more about my practice and share my new (old) altar! & really hope you enjoy!
    I hope to come to a more swiftly moving uploading schedule soon but have been on a journey this year, and have learnt a lot (as you can see in this video) Just taking each day as it comes, and I am filming when i'm most inspired to as I have come to the conclusion that I was seriously burnt out in the past!!
    Enjoy the video and have a wonderful day/ afternoon/ evening :)
    All my Love,
    Alwyn 💚
    P.S. The next video will most definitely not be as long a wait, I promise!!

    I want you to know how much your videos have impacted me, especially lately. I am also forever a child at heart. I just turned 43 yesterday, and I have been reclaiming my childhood over the last few years. I have started to take up some of your practices when I go into the forest, and it has enriched my experience so much. I was already, a total sucker for the forest, since childhood, but I get so much more out of my experience with your influence.

      The box of invisible mounts might have plasters in it but the actual invisible mounts would be stick transparent corners that you would use to mount your photographs in your album . Originally they were white or black card but kater on they were transparent plastic and therefore "invisible"

    Hi Alwyn- I thought you might be interested to know that the "little batteries" that once belonged to your grandfather are actually glass electrical fuses. The little glass tube contains a small wire that is designed to melt if too high a voltage flows through. Once the wire has melted, there is a gap in the circuit and the device can't operate. It's a safety feature to stop the device being damaged, or blowing up!
    Thank you so much for sharing this video and for the tour of your very special altar.

      ​@@AlwynOak I always loved those little glass fuses 😌 they are ADORABLE.🥰
      my dad does electrical stuff as well, fixing and making things, and I remember so many of his parts all around the house. Not really because he loved them, but because people who do things like this, do tend to hoard their craft's things 😂. Maybe it is different for people who are electricians, vs people who make and build stuff tho. The latter tend to be chaotic af and their environment tends to be an extension of them so..😅
      As a kid, i remember stepping on and around many other things, that he used to put in circuit boards. Or knocking into parts and things, half finished machines and so on.. Good tiiiimes lol. Organization isn't his strong point 😂. His whole house, and several sheds and garages he has built, are full of his things that do indeed accumulate endlessly. Because..you never know when you'll need them !! 🤭🙃
      I am sure if I go visit him now, his place will indeed look the same as it did when I was a kid, it's just in a different location 🫠

    I found myself feeling … not myself today. I was stuck in my head, in the not so nice space of it. I went to my tiny enchanted woods, in my garden and asked for a gentle spirit to help me through it. Per usual you, Sweet Alwyn, answered that call. You always appear when we need you most. Thank you for this lovely video. You’ve lifted the Smokey veil and brought the sunshine back into my spirit. You gave us a whole hour of a safe space, exactly the amount of time I had to watch. Please know how loved you are, because it’s literally immeasurable. My little Oliver says hello to you and Crowley 😊 Tons of love and light to you and all of the beautiful Enchanted Ones 💖🕯

Your altar is beautiful and emotional with so many symbolisms and special things. A hug from the mountains of the Andes in Colombia 🦋🌹🍀🧚‍♀💖

It feels so natural to be connected to the woods to those special I feel chosen, people..
    An I know it will be discovered by those magical children far into the future. Feeling blessed to be one of the magical and.... forever, "children of the woods." Thank you, Alwyn.❤

    Your altar is such an inspiration to me! It's really hard for me to have a proper altar because my family is Christian and I still live with them. I've been a witch for about a year now but only recently started practicing. I really resonate with your whimsical nature-y aesthetic as someone who also loves nature and has always felt one with it, to the point of having a million houseplants! I also resonate with your want to preserve memories! I collect a lot of things too because they have sentimental value to me. Your videos are very healing to me, so thank you! Keep doing what you do! 🌿🌒🌕🌘🌿

    Alwyn, we are kindred souls you and I. I am an Aquarian born February 17th and I love all things nostalgic! I love all the things you kept from your grandma and grandpa, my favorite piece is the beautiful desk that you made into an altar. However, I also do love your ancestor picture frame tree. I got a kick out of you collecting leaves from your travels (my favorite were the ones from Central Park because I am a New Yorker). In addition, when I travel I collect currency from all my travels for good luck. I have a Canadian dollar (with Queen Elizabeth 2nd on the currency)from my 1st trip to Montreal in the 80s, Barbadian coins from Barbados, a couple of coins from the Bahamas, Euros dollars from Italy, and Indonesian money from Bali, Indonesia. I live near Owls Head Park in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and I collect leaves and Pine Cones for the holidays. My daughter also found wood branches that resembled runes. I totally get it and love what you do on your channel, very magical. Thanks for this video!♥

    Greetings Alwyn, I was given another desk which I put by my other gifted desk . Have just been cleansing them and finding all sorts of Treasures I had not looked at for awhile. One will have as Magical Herbal/Oracle desk and the Other is for Writing as it is smaller ...so Your video has been perfect inspiration . I LOVE Your Ancestor Tree and noticed You have an Ancestor called IVY and how You love to cover the Altar in IVY. My Grandmother was called IVY but She passed just before I was born so I did not know Her . I am 61 about to turn 62 and have not thought of Her in so long (long story) . I have gathered up all the old herbs from the desk another my large Bamboo shelf and will burn and release them all on the Winter Solstice as a way of releasing any old energies , have been doing a lot of Inner Child healing lately and feel that this is needed ..actually looking forward to it . Bright Blessings from New Zealand xx

  • @sarahlewis7669

    It’s ironic that you find the plant Ivy whimsical and soothing, maybe your great grandmother who was called Ivy passed on her magical, whimsy to help you through this journey called life and to help you find all those little things that keep you grounded and help your curious light shine all that much brighter. From a fellow woodland witch. Blessed be. X

    Awesomeness :D !
    Nature has always been soothing and peaceful to me. I have always loved being out in the woods and just breathe in the peace and quiet. :D. The forest is about plants, animals, and earth. The element earth which is very grounding and stabilizing. So yes I have always loved being out in nature :). I think everybody should learn about plants, both the medicinal and poisonous properties of them. Fresh plants and leaves are always the best for really good cooking, because it's clean and pure and their properties haven't dried out in plastic bottles and containers and bags, as herbs and spices. Being outside also helps people keep in touch with the changing of the seasons and the agricultural year, a very important understanding of the passing of time. As opposed to made up measure of time from the calender.

Love your key collection. They remind of our basement we had when I was a little girl. It had a key like that.

    Love how much you have shared with us today. And a Secret Garden wedding OMGOSH! I do hope you will take us along on your special day, if nothing else, the ceremony.
    I too like collecting thing things from my ancestors. Recently I had come across my Gram’s hand writing and that just makes me feel a that she is a bit closer to me just by touching it.
    Definitely will have to rewatch this one in case I missed something. 😊

    I currently live in the high desert and I have to drive an hour to our ponderosa pine forests. I go twice a week. At my home I have hearty potted plants I grow, my hummingbirds, mourning doves, bees, orange dragonflies. I will sip my tea during the monsoon storms that rumble through daily. Thank you for taking us on your forest walk. 🌱🍃💜🍃🌱 blessed be.

    Thank you for such a magical video! I loved seeing everything in your new altar! I am in my 50's and my Dad was an electrical engineer and would have known what those curious items were. I remember the invisible mounts, they were paper corners used to attach photos in old style albums. My Grandma was in to all magical and mystical things and would have loved your videos! I think that is where i get my love of all other wordly things from. The artwork you received as a gift is stunning and looks perfect near your altar! You have created such a perfectly magical space in your home. ♥

    Wow what a great altar tour. I feel so inspired. I found your videos at a time when I needed them because I need to step back a bit from some stuff. I have been into spirituality, crystals and whatnot for over 30 years but sometimes things in the world take over and I need a break so, thank you so much for your videos and your inspiration. BTW I'm also a February child

    A bureau is PERFECT! That's exactly what I want, I can't believe I didn't think of it. They're so expensive but maybe I'll luck into one at a thrift store. Unfortunately, I have to hide my witchy-ness and it's a pain to have to keep pulling everything out of boxes and then putting it away all the time.

  • @peachybaby33
    @peachybaby33 8 місяців тому

    My grandma has become a part of my altar as well, and I've started using her jewelry as protection. It has worked amazingly, she was a very headstrong, brave woman who had immigrated to the US from Calabria, and lost 3 husbands in her lifetime and still managed to make an amazing life for herself, so. This was really special to see for me, has given me some extra inspiration and has reminded me to always remember where I come from. ❤️ I also love the idea of honoring your little self, I'm currently battling inner child work, so I think I need to make my own small box of Sam trinkets and place it on my altar. Loved this video 😊

    Love your videos! Makes my day when one pops up! I have my grandmother's book case with key! It had glass which I know was brittle and my son in law put chicken wire where the glass was. It's safe now! All pictures, genealogy and trinkets of relatives are in there! I also have her cherry telephone stand. She was a teacher with a college diploma in 1923. She taught me all sorts of nature, books, music, cooking, sewing and manners!! 🤣 Love to look at bookcase as I pass it everyday! Congrats on upcoming wedding!🎉

    Dearest Alwyn. I am blessed to have just discovered your channel and instantly felt a familiar (in a family sense) type of connection with you and your spiritual journey. Your love of the forest and your ancestry resonates with me and I look forward to discovering more about you.
    I also felt compelled to reach out to you and clarify what you believe to be an insignificant 'deer' on your altar. On the contrary, it is actually an 'antelope' called an Orynx. 'They are powerful totems as they can help people overcome their problems and give them swiftness in both mind and action. It offers strength & protection.

It's so nice that U have so many bits and bob's frm Ur Grandma and Grandpa ❤❤ I'm SURE they visit U there when they can ❤ 💯 It's just a comfort to be ABLE to have THAT energy AROUND it must FEEL good ❤ Sometimes life gets around and we FORGET who we USED to be as children, having the carefree mind and truly being ABLE to believe ❤ I went thru some pretty heavy life experiences , became a Mom myself, and also loosing 1st My Dad, who was the only man to NEVER break my heart ❤ Until he was called by Spirit after a few yrs with liver an cancer problems 💔💔 and My Mom, which she passed in her sleep and was not expected like it was with my Dad and it was devastating, and I realized I had ALOT of inner and shadow work to do ❤ It's not EASY always to do, but I can say I'm actually happy again 💜💜 And life is just to beautiful and short to NOT ALLOW MYSELF deep inside to be free and move the way I NEED to STAY in that good energy!! I love Ur videos!! So relaxing and enchanting to watch ❤ I HOPE U have a GREAT wkend my beautiful faery friend!! BTW Did U MAKE Ur wedding planner?? I have been in Love with the secret garden SINCE I was around 8 YRS old, I am 46 NOW lol I DO hope that U take US along on Ur journey to Ur secret garden of Marriage ❤ U WILL be the MOST Gorgeous Bride my friend!! I'm SOOOO excited for U!! Sending ALL my love frm Florida USA 🩷🩷🌴🌴🩷🩷

I like to think of all the hands that held them and all the doors they opened. Arthur Weasley would love that little box, of your Grandfather's with all the light bulbs & electricity thingamabobs. 😂 You radiate love for your grandparents in the way you honor their old possessions.

    I saved this video to watch at a time when I could give my full attention. My best friend is an Aquarius and we had our very own Enchanted wood. We played there and had picnics there as children in the 1980s. We've been back since, and it still feels enchanted. We had a special big tree and there were little paths that took you to secret groves. Your videos take me back to those times. Thank you so much 🌸
