    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 🫠

    "Being an adult is an act." I love the way you worded that. I felt judged by reliving my childhood and doing things such as collecting vintage toys, keeping a lot of things that represent my childhood. This video helped me realize that it's ok to relive moments you miss.

    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 💖🕯

    So beautiful! and those aren't batteries;they're fuses. They're used in cars to alert when things are not working. The fine filament breaks and the broken current results in a warning light on the car dashboard. Too fun to have those little bits from your grandpa right there.

It’s so endearing how you have so many items from your grandparents & relatives & how much you cherish them. ❤ I look forward to seeing the montage of the leaves from around the world. Love your key collection. They remind of our basement we had when I was a little girl. It had a key like that. Mom called it the skeleton key & we had to always leave the key in the key hole so we wouldn’t lose it. I always thought that key was so cool. You have given me so many ideas on how to store my favorite keepsakes! 🌸 thank you for that 💖

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.❤

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. ♥

    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 😊

    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

    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.

    I love your idea of using/gifting the old skeleton keys at your wedding! Very cool! I have been collecting them most of my life. 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. Blessings! 😊

    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 🌸

    Oh Alwyn your altar is SO beautiful! I love how each and every item has a meaning for you! I was very close to my grandfather (who has been gone 20 years and I still miss him dearly) so I have a picture of him and me when I was little on our family garden, along with a poppy flower (since he was a veteran). And my grandmother from my mother's side, who always sewed dresses for my dolls, I have a little box of a few of the dresses she made. It reminds me they are both watching over me and brings me peace while I work at my altar ❤

    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! 🌿🌒🌕🌘🌿

    What a lovely video! It really resonated with me. Your tour of your altar was moving to me, as I have kept some similar keepsakes from my parents. I have felt a little silly in the past about my sentimentality and some of the odd little things I have held on to. I appreciate so much seeing your special treasures, and the sweet, kind way you described your grandparents and your keepsakes from them. I feel better about my keepsakes, and am planning on displaying them in ways that honor my loved ones. Thank you for your lovely inspiration. 💗 Elizabeth

    This video felt so different that other altar tours I've watched lately. You focus so much on the magic within and of us as part of our personal practice that was exactly what I needed to hear today, even if you "said" it 10 day sago :) Thank you, always, Alwyn!

    Watching your videos are so inspiring. I did a major spring cleaning about 3 weeks ago. I packed up all my witchy supplies and alter to do a major refresh. Well they're still in the box because life gets busy sometimes. You've inspired me to set everything up again and finish my reset.

    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!♥

    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
