Hello Enchanted ones! I hope your Winter is serving you well. I wanted to be honest with you about my winter in a 'fairytale-esk' kinda way! It is difficult embracing the dark sometimes, but there is always a glimmer of light and hope of light. This year I am learning that balance is key to a healthy life. (You probably thought I always knew that... but I didn't!)
I wish you a truly blessed Imbolc
All my Love,
Alwyn

Love you guys!! Im currently outside patrolling the woods but I'll reply to your beautiful messages later 💚🌳🌲🌱🌱
I would LOVE to patrol in the woods 🌲 You know what, I will! Thanks for inspiring me 💚
So happy to see a new video! Winter is hard for me too (upstate New York). I try every year to embrace it, but it's so hard. I always say I can deal wirh the cold as long as I have sunshine! When it gets dark at 4pm, I just want to sleep and it's hard getting up in the dark! The squirrel was so adorable! Love your journal idea, can't wait to see whenever you share it! Your Black Bird song is beautiful! Perfect blend of dark into light! Stay warm & cozy!🌞🩷🌻🦋
You are the one that inspires me! You are amazing.
Beautiful in your woods, been good to see you. I feed my garden birds everyday and have a resident Robin who sings to me, love being in nature. Spring is close days are getting longer. Blessings to you 🌳🍀🌿
I know it’s a lot of hard work and dedication on your part but I really wish you could do a weekly or bimonthly video!! 😊
I love how you can take a dark time and still turn it into something beautiful
It was funny how it gave me so much inspiration - i wasn't expecting that!
We missed u Elf!
I think this is maybe why people don't like the dark, because they didn't learn how to see the beauty in it.
I am pretty much raised this way, in the woods, by candle light and coziness, so I love the darkness the most and think there is nothing more beautiful then candle lights in the dark. I am gonna miss it, but I love the sunny days and like my mother said: "summer is the vacation you love to visit but winter is home."
My healing roots are from mountain people, and I always was taught that stump water is sacred, (same reason as mistletoe...because it never touches the ground). This explains your magical epiphany while gazing into its pool. Blessings, Alwyn!
👍🧙♂️🐺!!
I find it hard to celebrate Imbolc as the return of the light and the arrival of spring because here, the period of Imbolc is the period everything is covered with snow and it's freezing cold outside. Instead, I approach it as a way to say thank you to Winter and its faes. Winter is a time of self-reflection for me. I usually love walking around in the dark with a cup of hot coffee or chocolate in my hand and gazing the snow covered mountains that surround me, admire the bare trees and feel the chill winds on my skin. During this time of the year, nature reminds me that death is an important part of life. We need to die to be reborn. We need to be patient to be able to re-enjoy the sweet summer weather.
I love Winter because of the wisdom it has gifted me throughout my entire life. I come out of every Winter as a better more wholesome version of myself.
Happy Imbolc, Alwyn. Thank you for spreading positivity and warmth during this harsh and dark time. 💙
the story in the beginning really resonated to me. I have felt the same this winter but a few days ago I forced myself to go for a walk and a hummingbird was in a tree near by. I learned that they actually have a song which I didn't realize after two years of watching them. Now I know they are around without seeing them first.
Such beautiful story telling. You really should be writing children’s books, I would love to be able to tell my grand-daughter stories just like this 💜☀️🌙⭐️
Aw thankyou that's so kind! The script took a looooooooooong time!! That rhyming word website didn't know what hit it hahaha
My Dear Alwyn, You are a symbol of Enchantment! Since I discovered you last year, I have taken to always look for your videos. They are so smoothing and peaceful. I love your music and I thought to myself - I wonder if can find them on iTune and I did! I bought everyone of your songs. You are so talented, beautiful inside and out! I so look forward to all your videos in 2023!
Love your music. I really hope you put your new music on Spotify. I often listen to it whilst crocheting, crafting, and baking. It's transcending and so enchanting. ❤🌱🌿🍃🌺🌳
I really liked that format, and the poetry, and the music, and the message ❤️ Beautiful!
Thankyou lovely! I thought it good to make the most of a dark situation with a lighter feel 💚🥰🌿🌲🌱🌳
sounds of the birds saved the day
Thank you, Alwyn, this is a beautiful film. Please remember to keep your bird feeders clean, it is very important for the dear wee things. I send love to you.
I think there's nothing wrong with not being bubbly and full of energy all the time. It's allowed to retreat and hybernate, if needed.And i think Winter reminds us of that. We're part of nature, even though many think we aren't. Everything has its time. To be quiet, to be observing instead of acting is just as valuable. We should accept us to be that way. It can be healing.
this strongly resonated with me, ive experienced the exact same thing this winter, learning to take note from this seasons introspective, slow rhythm. when you allow yourself this, its actually extremely healing and i hope anyone reading this is able to connect with winters spirit, the simplest way and the best is sometimes just taking a walk 🤍
Hi alwyn we have had our first spiritual festival
Wassailing in Herefordshire now starting to really enjoy the feeling and belief that. Fairies do exist and goddess Mother Earth is all around us helping us to live kindly and Bekind
Oh my dear, I realized that I needed this so much! I have been in the same place, my head foggy, my heart sad, needing to reconnect with Nature. Here in the US in Ohio we have been experiencing cold rain/snow. And the end of January is expected much colder. But I am trying to remember the meaning of Imbolc, the stirring of life within. 🤎💚 Thank you! 🥹🌲🌱💚🤎
🌲🍀🐾🐿so cool, how your forest witche's grimoire 📜 becomes "magickal" as soon as you start writing & drawing in it. This is from a true connection between one's Heart and Nature, or what is known as "G L A M O U R Y" or "Magick of the Celtic Green World" (a book by Steve Blamires) which you probably knew already. We all have "this connection". I found mine while fishing & wading through streams🎣. Nice finger decoration(stone)by the way🐦📖🔖💚🐾🍀🌲.
Hello Alwyn good to see you once more. The season of change colour and light , Imbolc to celebrate new life for all, we are as one as together we unfurl our limbs,wings leaves slowly but surely rested from the sleep as the sun warms our bodies and light encourages the first of the new day, Spring full of sounds life full of energy, We are as one. Embrace the dawn and join in the chorus.
Blessings to all.
Hugs and blessings to you.💚🌹
I love how you use each of the senses for your art. Music, sound of your lovely compositions. Visual, drawing and painting the nature around you. Taste and smell the delicious looking protein balls that I can’t wait to make too. Touch, I can just imagine the feel of the soft moss as I’ve often caressed it in the woods. This video is a beautiful reflection of your soul. Many blessings to you, dear Alwyn, and thank you for posting such a lovely video. It truly brightened my day! 🌳🧚🏼🍄🌿🌱🍃🌞
This may just be my favorite video of yours yet! I love the dark fairytale vibe at the beginning, and how you embraced the Winter. It's a talent that you take life and make it into art.
I have been really struggling with SAD this winter and have had no energy or motivation to create much all month, I have just been existing and doing the bare minimum. I have been art journaling a lot and have ordered the one you have immediately as it is perfect for a nature journal and I feel Imbolc is the perfect time to start planning my garden. Thank you so much, blessings 🙌 🙏 💖 oh and I love the whole narrative of existing like a vampire in the dark 👌
Where did you find the journal?
When the veil of your eyes moves away we notice other things we did not before thats growing up
Love your new composition, it sounds so mysterious. I've grown to really appreciate winter. I particularly love winter skies and the silhouettes of the trees. I too, like a little cosy hibernation, but taking in some 'fresh' air can be really refreshing as well. x
Alwyn, you are so creative! Thank you for sharing such unique videos and giving us a peek into the ways you gain inspiration and manifest them into art. I loved the way we got to see you experience the lessons/associations of Imbolc in real time through a story, instead of just telling us what they are (there are plenty of other videos for that).
The piece you wrote is stunning as well - I loved the tension and interplay between F major and minor throughout. The arpeggios in the left hand gave such a feeling of rootedness and memory, and yet the modal mixture and chromatic explorations up in the melody gave me a sense of sparkling snow and filtered light, with a hint of spookiness. What a perfect setting for Imbolc, where we are still in the darkness of winter and yet we can see and trust that the brightness of spring is not too far away 💛
How inspiring your videos always are. I've heard the birds 🐦 singing their songs so much recently and it fills me with joy to know spring is not far away now.
Thankyou so much Billie! Yes they bring so much hope
Beautiful poetry, music, story telling and everything in-between 🥰You are truly gifted Enchanted One 🙏 Thank you for another lovely video/vlog ☺ Much love and many Blessings Alwyn 💚💚🌿🌿
" no light without dark and no light without night" - So true! Absolutely beautiful poems, video and composition ! Brought tears to my eyes, thank you, Alwyn for opening up so honestly 🖤❤️🩶
Thank you very much! Blessed imbolc ☺️💚
@Alwyn Oak Blessed Imbolc to you too!🔥🕯🌱from 🇨🇦
A truly wonderful experience!! Thanks!
Your book is a brilliant idea!
Continue with this fantastic journey and adventure....🧚♀️🧚♂️!!!!!!!!!
Good to see n hear you in the Enchanted Woods!!
A blessed Imbolc to you!
🧚♀️👍🐺🧙♂️🦊👍🧚♂️
I have been watching your videos for some years and I am such a fan. Your videos give me comfort. Your music gives me hope.
Embrace the dark , never fight it , our circle always turns to light it's the way of things , you look renewed and fresh , forest beautiful as it should be 🌛🌚🌜
Your beautiful piece and video place me in a magical mood. It enhances my thoughts and memories return of the many hours I spent enjoying the wonders of nature. I yearn for those days as a child and small things can spark the memories.
Happy Imbolc 🕯✨🌱 I’ve felt unusually positive this winter so I’m embracing it! Still not a fan of the cold but there was something about standing in my yard after a ton of fresh snow last week here where I am and seeing how it hugged all the empty trees and their branches in my yard. It was oddly quiet except for my bird friends. I trekked out there to fill their feeders and felt grateful ⛄️❤️. I heard an owl hooting a couple weeks ago one evening and I am still hoping for an appearance 🦉. Your music is so lovely and I love listening to it, very magical. Thank you for sharing. Blessed Be.
I chose to embrace my darkness and inner gothic this winter as well. I didn't want to let depression seep in so I embraced it wholeheartedly. I love how you saw the black bird - I just has a black crow visit in my front yard yesterday and this NEVER happens. A beautiful synchronicity and it just means we are all connecting to the darker goddess aspect of ourselves. Feels good 🖤
P.s.- I absolutely LOVE that final result with your piano music. It perfectly sounds like the beauty and bittersweet essence of winter. 🧚♂️
dear Alwyn................here in northern germany its cold,windy rainy,but every day i walk my 10000 steps.................every morning at the same place there is a little wren who sings his song................beautiful...........thats my inspire for the day..............be happy ............Blessings and greetings from Daggy Kiel Germany☘☘☘
Oh, Alwyn, you have surpassed yourself with this beautiful video and story! I love the dark mood at the beginning all the way through to its resolution with your observations, insights, and your soothing, mysterious, and magical music. Blessed Imbolc to you, and I can't wait to watch this again!
Your Composition with the Bird Song is lovely!
I wish the World to be healed, with the sounds of this music! 🕊❕️
Oh wow that's so kind- thankyou! 😚
For a long while I've used crystals to help me with mindfully approaching life, but I was hesitant to take it further. I've gradually stumbled upon your channel and it has meant so much to me- to discover others who feel a connection with nature, to learn about the wheel of the year, and more. I wouldn't call myself a pagan or a witch, I don't think - I don't believe in gods either - but what I do believe in is the beauty of birdsong and the sky and the stars and buds and flowers and leaves, and I'm excited to continue on my journey to understand myself alongside nature with the help of your beautiful, calming, informative, and inspirational channel - it's very welcoming and validating, as I often feel like an imposter in spaces like these. Thank you for your lovely videos. I hope your Imbolc has been a blessed one and that you're able to take time for yourself 💖
I love the woodland gothic princess look! It's still many feet of snow outside, and -20's where I live🥶🥶🥶 I miss the green woodlands so much💚
My Dear Alwyn it has been so lovely to walk with you again in the Enchanted Forest I have been at home more than usual as I have been working on my new book on Gardening but I have a long way to go with it watching you always helps me to relax which helps me focus I have been in my garden today to blow the cobwebs away talking to my pants and trees there is so much going on ! a very Blessed Imbolc with love Glo XX
You are a treasure on this planet. May you know that you already have done enough and are magnificence made manifest.
Alwyn next to your name you need to add “FOREST FAIRY WITCH”.
This will bring you thousands more viewers.
Love your videos.🍀🌿
I think bundling up and getting out into nature is *everything* this time of year. We need the sun, the cold, and the slumbering vegetation to remind us that rest is natural. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video with us. 💜
I love how you combine poems in your video, your bursting creativity and even a piece of your created music! So so beautiful ❤❤❤❤
I love it!! I have been hibernating also. I said I'd get out...then we got over 2 feet of snow. The temperature dropped to -17° F. Now I tell myself tomorrow will be the day. I work on garden plans and make bee hotels. I got the seeds I gathered in fall all put in pretty little envelopes. Now will be sending them out to relatives and friends who asked for them. Time for a nap.
Love everything about this story! So glad you listened when the woods called Alwyn to go outside and how what she was drawn to sketch ended up containing a hidden message for her and helped her to complete her piano composition! The piece turned out lovely, a bit dark and broody to start, but then with a quickening and the promise of brighter days 🐦🐿🐝😊
What a lovely little story. It could also be about an animal very gradually coming out of hibernation.I also like the squirrel in the bird feeder and how you chose your clothes according to your mood. There is definitely a new sound in the birdsong. Thank you for another inspiring g video
I FELT You the other week.. it waz this slow step & reflecting on how I am so greatful to keep advancing (from having ministrokes after a car crash that I have been coping w for yearz now) ... But it waz this quantum moment of connection & empathy & wonder & awe of Our chozen pace & the simple joyz of being in a way of setting OurSelvez FREE of expectation - like a pure experience of childlike exploration. ... Anyway
..
Aloha
Oh young one! What a beautiful piece. Perfect combination of birds, wildlife and music. Love the story. Blessed be. 🥰
I left my tree up and decorated it with mushroom ornaments and paper lanterns. It gives that twinkling light in the long nights. I use the time to reorganize, unpacking 5 huge boxes of handmade textiles I have collected and stored for years in my garage. I began writing about my travels collecting these beautiful fabrics. Winter can be a time of reflection, remembering and relaxing. Thank you for your lovely video.
So peaceful and healing 💚
I love how your telling a story! Lovely video as always! Thank you for sharing!
Thankyou! It was fun writing the script! 🌱🌲☺️
Lovely to see you back. As Spring comes embrace it and gain your strength. Blessings 💜
Thankyou Valerie 🥰💚 looking forward to more light 💚
We are in summer here in Central QLD Australia, very hot and humid. Wish we had cold winters as you do. Our winter is June to August, still fairly warm and dry. Love your home and cottage decor and seeing you feeding the birds
So lovely! I’m soon to be 56 and for as long as I can remember, I have dreaded the cold, dark, grey of winter. I’m learning to honor it as a natural time of rest and not judge myself as lazy because of my struggle to keep up with the pace of the others around me. I also look to the birds, trees, and wildlife, oh and the fairies!Thank you for the beautiful video.
Also moss❤. Glorious beautiful moss! Do you know the book Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer? It’s on my list of books to read.
Be well, Love and Light to you.
When I first started watching you (a long while ago), I always felt jealous of your beautiful house. But then I continued to watch your videos, and noticed how positive you always are. I let go of my unwanted feelings, and embraced my 'witchy life', even when I live in a place you wouldn't really call 'witchy'. 💚💙💜 Thank you for your videos :)
Btw my fav video that you have made is your 'crystal collection video' ✨ Could you do more crystal videos? Maybe a full video on some crystal meditation, or what crystals you recommend?? Don't feel pressured, just a suggestion ❤
I took have been hibernating.I don't like the cold and I came down with a terrible sinus infection 😞 it's taken weeks and weeks to get over it,and I'm just now after 5weeks am beginning to get my strength back.A friend of mine was out for her morning stroll and found a beautiful ceramic tourquise Buddha someone sat out by a dumpster and she gifted it to me!!It made my day!!It reminded me to be Thankful for the generosity of friends and to always be thankful for the little things in life.And as I sat by my window looking out at the huge Pear tree,there I saw 2 little Squirrel 🐿️ chasing each other, so Cute!!I'm resting and healing and looking forward to a shopping spree at Marshalls where I'm going to finish decorating my bedroom with Tree of Life macrame dream catchers and Beaded zodiac sign in hoop and a new Oracle Deck 🤗🙏Thank You for your beautiful nature video and I love your bee hive hanging in your tree!!
love how you showed coming out of slight hibernation, seeing some life, the reflection scene was so wonderful and I think woodland gothic princess makes a lot of sense! I also love your zesty drink! I think this year, finally, after 50 years, I truly get the balance between dark and light and embraced the dark more than ever. So glad it's getting lighter though. That was one looong January! Beautiful video as always. xx
Alwyn, The nature visual eye is so on spot. Enjoying every thing on this enchated channel. Your music and art work is delightful too!
I Love your Videos so much! I cant thank you enough for the Love, light and happiness you brought into my Life. Im sending you my best wishes, and a blessed imbolc!
Love Tina
That was gorgeous! Beautiful music. And not gonna lie as soon as I saw that journal I stopped the video to look for a link to add to my basket lol. Such an enchanting and heartwarming video thank you.
Even the dark has beauty in it. Your videos are so peaceful and helps me to embrace both dark and light 💖
Yes, I seem to be alone thinking it is even more beautiful then the light time, don't get me wrong I have really learned to love and see the beauty in the light too (didn't for a long time). But it always feel like an illusion and I always get very unstable in spring/summer. The dark months to me seem more real. I just want to share, because it feels like no one (but my mother) see it this way.
Thank you for being my actual Imbolc celebration. So many challenges have been happening. Your video helped so much. I had been humming In the bleak Midwinter all morning too.
Your new piece brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely beautiful
Thankyou my love! 🥺🥰💚💚💚
@@AlwynOak you are most welcome 🥰
Beautiful imbolc blessings Alwyn and to everyone 💚🙏🌳🌱🪶
Beautiful as usual. So peaceful. It's a lot of comfort in these days. I'm sorry I must have forgotten Arwyn was suffering from vertigo. I hope she recovers completely
Thankyou love! I'm getting there! New video tonight 🌲😊🌳💚🌱🌿
@@AlwynOak I'm glad to hear it. A new video!! What a treat.😊 I'm going to watch it shortly.
🌱🌿🍃 Blessings of Brigid and Imbolc to you and your family, dear Alwyn ✨💛
So beautiful and… made me realize I have to get out of the house to take a breath of fresh winter air… Thank you 🙏 ❤
Nature is so healing, but we can't see it until we are in it 🌱🥰💚🌿🌳 it's hard to remember! 🌱
@@AlwynOak So true!
A very nurturing video! A gift to us all. My theory on the living ferns…the decay and composting around them generate heat helping them out in the cold…lucky ferns.
What a beautiful way to start my day and the beginning of Imbolc. Your creativity, music and story were so moving and yet so very peaceful... Thank You so very much!!!!!!
No way can it be 4 degrees below. We're snowed under, not a chance to step outside without your gloves on and not freeze to death. Enjoy your mild weather, Alwyn, and think a little thought to all those who won't see spring for many weeks to come...
This was beautiful, thank you so much ✨♥️ I feel like an odd one out because I will miss this season so much, I always think it goes so fast in the spring and when the light returns. I am gonna miss the dark and the cold, and we didn't get a real winter here in Sweden this time, just a bit of snow a few times that all.
I am not ready for spring, so I will relax and really embrace the dark and "cold" to the fullest now so I can be happy about spring. I think this is the perfect time of year, birds singing and when the sun is out it is lovely 💓
Same. I love the comfort of warm homes, and cold early nights. Where I live, climate change has hit hard. January and February are the coldest months we can expect and it was so disheartening when the weather jumped up to nearly 80 degrees (26.6 C) before the end of February. It will only get warmer from here on out, the winter gone literally overnight. For several years now, we literally only get 2 months of chilly weather and only 2 or 3 weeks of what we can call "cold" weather. And the rest of the year is almost endless with its warm, hot and hotter temperatures.
Currently, I love your videos, and I am just like you I love fairy’s and I love the forest and I love things like that so thank you for making these videos for me to watch!❤
Good morning, it's wonderful to see you again, you look so lovely, and happy, my daughter and I, and our cat love your videos, you bring us joy, have a beautiful imbolc. 😊😊😊🍄🍄🍄♥️Julie
Imbolc blessings. Thanks for another beautiful story. Your music reminds me of cloud atlas, so mesmerizing and dreamy.
This was such a beautiful video and it definitely resonated with me. I'm still in hibernation mode, but I feel myself working out of it. Thank you for such inspiration!
It's mild, feels like spring
Do not go gently into that winter Alwyn; a trip to the islands I say once again. The life force of millennia of creatures creating the gentle white essence massaging your spirit toes as you meander on the edge of sand and sea. Loose yourself of the heavily claden burdens of shadow and moss, and discard coppice, copse and thicket. Feel the massaging spirit of the sea; the whisper of touch from the enchanted octopus; rainbow laden creatures of the sky as a canopy for the soul . . . oh, and I'd recommend Buffet and a margarita as well. Start with a ballad, as the slower you stroll the greater shall the spirits of life engulf you in vitamin D. If you eschew the maillot, I'll go to the chest, dust off the finest floral, bask in the aromas of savory coconut rum, and embrace the essence of your life force. Just a thought ( and sorry fella, but as you know, a rose is a rose . . . ).
I just love the little beehive bird feeder🥺😍
Lovely video -- a dark time you moved through to reach a time of joy and appreciation. I'm going to try your protein balls, as I find that being outside in the cold makes me hungry too. The messages that developed from your journal were amazing. I love your beautiful music! I find that being out in very cold weather is challenging for about the first 20 minutes for me, but as I keep moving, I warm up. That's always nice. It's great to enjoy another of your videos! Thank you. 💗
When I come home from work, I'm excited to turn on my laptop and watch one of your videos. You inspire me in many ways and help me to get in touch with my magic again. I often find my inner child being excited about your ideas and I feel at peace and safe. I'm totally gonna try those protein pellets!
I am so happy to hear you are doing better and are recharging yourself. You have such a beautiful spirit and I enjoy hearing your music, it is so calming. Thank you for sharing your recipe, each one I try is wonderful.
thank you my lady for your words and insightment and sharing your beautiful woods with all of us glad you getting well blessed be
A perfect way for me to prepare for Imbolc this morning was by watching this video. Thank you
I very enjoy your videos. They are very soothing and calm, and it's nice that you have a forest as your backyard to walk through and get inspiration, a very difficult thing for me living in the city. Wishing you a Happy Imbolc 🕯🕯🌞🌞🥛🥞🥞🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♂️🧚♂️🐿🐿🐦🐦🌲🌲🌳🌳
if only winter was so lovely in my neck of the woods!
I wasn't really expecting this format but, I am captivated.
Aw thankyou ☺️💚
I absolutely loved this video! It captures Midwinter so beautifully! Thank you Alwyn, for sharing your magick with us! Love and blessings…
You are so inspirational, thank you for your hard work to make sure we are happy 😊 xxx
I've watched your videos rosemary birch xxxxx
I love your videos , I do get seasonal depression in winter as well and I only realise i had it after it warms up I really love the summer and the sun but I still like winter. I love the woods so much imagine being a forest spirit and living in a desert type of country thankfully I live in a place with some trees but I wish I had some forest near me 🤍🤎 all the love for you alwyn.
I have been dealing with months of vertigo too. It's the worst
In spite of it you have created a beautiful video.as always!
Thank you.
You truly are a blessing. Thank you and your imagination ❤️❤️ Happy Imbolc🌞🧚🏽
Imbolc is my favorite sabbath.sadly the anniversary of a traumatic event is 2 days after imbolc I hope I’ll heal more this year 💞 wonderful video!
Sending you lots of love 💚💚💚💚 blessed imbolc
That music gave me goosebumps. Truly enchanting! 🧚🏻
Aww thankyou 🥰💚
This is so incredibly beautiful. I love poetry, really enjoyed those moments. I have been hibernating this winter too so really needed to see this.💚
Alwyn, SO Good to see you! You are such a Treasure, and more so right now. I can't begin to tell you how much your words & this video resonates with me. I too have been 'Hybernating' with the exception of feeding the birds, squirrels and chipmunks in my back yard and twice a day I go and feed some feral cats around my area. I've trapped, rehabilitated & rehomed many of them but I still have a few to rescue.
The best way I can describe the weather, life and myself lately is 'Dreary & Withdrawn' YUK!!! After feeding the feral kitties their breakfast I decided to walk a little bit & check out an area where I've found other feral kitties. The sun was Glorious & I could feel the warmth like a welcoming hug. Sure enough I spotted 2 feral kitties & left them some food. I have a satchel that I carry when I feed the kitties. So I will add this to my feeding stops until I can rescue them. I know in my Heart something was calling me to venture further & not just go home to my seclusion! While walking home I was amazed to see Beautiful bright green moss for this time of year and my Heart actually fluttered knowing the anticipation of spring & the birth of all its Beauty. I lifted a little bit of the moss and when I got Home, I placed it on top of the soil of one of my house plants to remember my journey. Your journal is Beautiful & Inspiring, perhaps you could share where you purchased it. The cover actually reminds me of your Enchanted Woods! As I said Alwyn, you are a Treasure & I savor your videos. Your words & videos are like food for the Soul. Thank you & Be Well, Blessings ❤️
You inspire me. So much thank you.❤️
Beautiful video. So good to see you again Alwyn. Wishing you a blessed Imbolc xxx
You look beautiful I love your hair so nice to have you back again I’ve missed your enchanting videos 🥰🧙🏻💛
It seemed you were sad after your trip when you cut your hair. I truly hope you you’re feeling better and that you are loved. You beautiful witch. We all have dark times. Sending you much love beautiful girl ❤❤
Aw well I haven't felt right for a while now (since I had covid really) I found that I have an iron deficiency last week, which I feel is a big big part in the health story. I am on tablets now and hoping they'll make a difference in my mood soon xxxx
So lovely
Oh Dear Sweet Alwyn, yet another absolutely stunning video. I loooooooved this story format. You have such a beautiful talent for story telling and I can’t wait for more! We hope you’re doing well. We’ve missed you! Blessed Imbolc with tons of love and light, to you and all of the Enchanted Ones. 💖🕯🧚
