❤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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 🔮

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.

I live by a forest 🌳 and mountains such enchanting magical 🧙 energy and love 💕

My 10 year old son keeps me young. We go on adventures like this regularly

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 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

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.

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 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.

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 ❤💚✌🏼🌿🩷🌎🙏🧚🏻‍♂️🩵🍄🌸❤️🧚🏿🧚🏻‍♂️🧚🏻‍♂️🤭😘

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!

Hello , This was a lovely visit , I was a woodsy child growing up , Alwyn please be aware , you had a watcher today 😊

49:34 I understand you and I feel like you when I drink a cup of tea or tea with milk after any time or in the morning. I feel grateful, a beautiful feeling. I love it, and the whole video is very beautiful as usual, but perhaps The best part the R Because it is the first letter of my name and it means the whole day I spent , wow 🥰

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! 💚💚💚

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

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. 💚

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 💕

Same boots, same woods, same lookingglass🎉 Greetings from afar my sister ❤

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. 💗

Another lovely video 💚💚💚so many great bits - the sticks 🧡 the mini cones - the sparkling rain - the teas & snack - fairy alter - loved it all 💛🖤💚

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

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

Especially loved the secret swamp and the nest you made. And we get to enjoy your lovely music too. Thank you 💚

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.

Beautiful 🤩 I love fae , fairies 🧚 and gnomes and Elvin’s

I adore your altar such fairy 🧚‍♀️ vibes

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 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!

I can highly recommend Barefoot shoes!!!! They even come with warm and cozy fur for winter days. I never wear anything else because it makes me feel Earth with every step I do. The Companies I wear are Saguaro and Freiluftkind. 😊

The birch haven’t awakened near me yet. The scotch broom has bloomed. 💜💜💜

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

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.

That is a marvelous bag! Just like Mary Poppins!!!

Secret Garden is an Inbolc or Ostara movie. So sweet.

Interesting! I am not a “pink color” lady, but have been drawn to the color pink lately! 💜💜💜

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

Dear Alwyn, i just wanted to tell you that i absolutely adore you and your videos! I've never felt so aligned with the way someone thinks - i wish we would live closer and become friends. Best wishes from a fellow February Aquarius witch ✨️

Wow it's so green in Feb.

Really enjoyed this walk in the woods with you today, where spring is starting to flirt with winter. Hmm, it's hard to pick a favorite spot as they're all so special and unique, but for today's walk I would have to say the secret swamp was shining in an ethereal mist right before the sun shower. Beautiful! But it is always very lovely to see Grandmother Yew, with her sweet little face!

Such a beautiful video. Magical!!

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.

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!

Grateful. Grateful for you and your incredible energy. Grateful for your videos. I lived in London for a year and I would visit this incredible forest somewhere not far from where I was when I was there. Watching your videos brings me back to that time. I didn’t love my time in London, for reasons, but what I most certainly did love, was the forest. I miss that. I live in Florida now. I can’t be here much longer. It’s just not for me. I need the forest. In the meantime, I’m grateful to have your videos. Thank you for existing.
