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 🫠
This video is so beautiful. The magic, the forest, the altar, your life... 🌱🌳🧚♀️🧚🧚♂️ We all should stay young forever. Because of you, I know the magic of the fairies. I wish you, your better half, your furry friends 🐱 and fairies all the best. May the gods and spirits protect you. 🫶🌳🌱💚
"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've been so ill and in hospital for some surgery, it's been so stressful, but watching your videos always make me feel better, so thank you Alwyn! This was lovely. I love your new hair cut Alwyn, your hair is gorgeous, so think and shiny. Sending you, and anyone reading this, lots of sparkles and love 🧚💚 ✨ 🌳 Xxx
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 💖🕯
Beautiful episode. This episode reinforces my belief that even at 60 years old, I should never give up the connection with my inner child. Thank you for the joy you bring. Out of all of my favorite witchy channels, yours is one I can play multiple times - sometimes even just in the background, and it brings me joy and happiness. Blessings to you and your fiancée.
I really love it when creators take time to put their everything into a video and it's just so special and you know you will come back to it again and again for inspiration! This is true of all your videos though!
Beautiful alter , thank you for sharing . I think the kinder egg toy is a Goat and the item from WHSmith I think are corner mounts for putting photos into photo albums. I remember those when I was a child when we had photos printed .
From the time I started watching your vids until now, I’ve seen such beautiful growth and confidence within and within your craft. You are absolutely glowing and sending you so much love. Blessed be! 🥰🔮✨💜
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.
Hello Alwyn, glad I randomly found you in my curiosity of crystals. You're like a breath of fresh air with your pleasant enthusiasm and positive energy. When you mentioned keys and that tiny spoon, I hit the subscribe button because I treasure so many of the same things you've shared in this video.
Such a sweet and lovely altar you have. I love all little curiosities you've collected in the woods and from places you've traveled. You're such a creative soul, and I always get so inspired by you. Now I too want to venture out in my local woods here in Sweden to find small and magic treasures.✨🍄🐿 Thank you so much for this altar tour, it made my day! And congratulations on your secret garden wedding, what a wonderful theme to have! 🥰🌿🗝
You are like a little sprite - so light and fairy like! I too feel such peace when I walk amongst trees. "The girl went walking in the woods, the badger slept as he knew he could, the squirrel climbed the tree of wood, and all was kind, and all was good" just a snippet from one of my poems I love to write. Blessings to you, lovely lady. xxx
I adore the way you honor your grandparents' furniture and objects. The goals you have when entering the forest are inspiring, such as honoring your inner child, the foxgloves flowers are truly magical. Your altar is beautiful and emotional with so many symbolisms and special things. A hug from the mountains of the Andes in Colombia 🦋🌹🍀🧚♀💖
I was very close to my grandparents as well and was tearing up in happiness at your new altar space and all of the trinkets and pieces with their meaning and connections they have to your grandparents. Very positive way to do workings. You may have inspired me a bit. ✨
I don’t know how I missed this video. Your grandfather’s desk makes a wonderful altar. I love how you incorporated so much of your ancestors’ possessions. You curio cabinet is lovely. I aLso have a lot of items from my ancestors in my space as well. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for being you.... I too am a forest lover still and forever at 71......as a child of 5 wandering endlessly all day in the forest...I feel the forest raised me....I have always been and always will be embracing my inner child, and my artistic crafty nature and playing keyboard......I get my happiest feelings when I am true to myself and create something that makes my heart happy...so You are so refreshing....And you make my heart very happy to know the next generation still embraces the forest feelings. 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.❤
It was a fuse, not a battery, and they're still used nowadays. You young'uns make me feel so old! 😆I buy and sell antiques and have just bought a super interesting lot which I think you'd love - it was full of so many random items like old spectacles, matchbox covers, silver sovereign holders, an ambrotype photo (which was stunning!) etc, it just makes me wonder about who used to own it all. Great vid, thanks.
Thank you VERY much for sharing this . I’m beginning my journey officially late in life and I appreciate the learning I get from your posts. Thanks again! I decided to use my great -grandmother’s secretary desk - which is a treasure to me - which is similar to your beautiful secretary. It’s helping decide what should go there.
Lately I really wanted to reconnect to my craft and the universe led me to you and your creative offering which has helped me get back to my self and my own path. I have spent a creative afternoon and feel so rejuvenated so thank you!
I absolutely love your videos like these, I’ve got crystals and ivy and leaves and whatnot around my house with fairy lights, so I definitely feel inspired! Brownie points if it’s a rainy day so I can calmly drink tea and coffee and cozy up and look at twinkling wee things! 🌿🍄🍁
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.
I love the new “old” alter & everything in it! 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 💖
I never clicked so fast! Do people still say that? 😂 Really excited to see this. I’m a new patron and a subscriber and I have been watching all of your amazing videos. 🌿🌿🌿
Alwyn they are actually Car fuses as my Dad is a Car A Grade Machanic & earth works Engineer Retired now . He always had those little long glass Fuses 😊
OMGOODNESS!! The artist that drew U is quiet GOOD 👍👍❤ I absolutely think she captured U PERFECTLY in their drawing!!! I love what U did with Ur alter space, it looks SOOO lovely!! 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 🩷🩷🌴🌴🩷🩷
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
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. ♥
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 😊
You are a wise, beautiful Fairy Woman! I love that your Inner Child lives within you as your Adult Self! We all need that! And to dress ourselves accordingly! Many thanks ...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
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 freaked out when I saw you posted!! So excited! I love how this altar has turned out, and I love how your craft and space is always ever changing. You're very inspiring when it comes to creativity, self-care, happiness, inner child, witch craft, nature, art, aesthetic, and more. Love your videos, and your music on spotify!
I get such a strong vibration coursing through my hands when I am able to do my grounding work! I always say thank you for whatever it is Ive absorbed and then I give an offering usually water.
Thank you Alwyn, for this video. I feel nostalgic and inspired, to re-design my sacred spaces. My mom was from Nova Scotia, and had an older brother (age 20) buried at Runnymede Memorial, Surrey UK, in 1942. He was an RCAF Flight Sergeant, shot down in service to protect the Commonwealth. Truly a war hero. Your video brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for sharing your family history. Blessings from Canada.
What a treat. I loved the tour and a glimpse into your practice. Having items that all have personal meaning brings such power and individuality to your alter space. That painting is breathtaking.
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. Blessings from your self-appointed Uncle Michael from Australia. :) aka as Uncle OZ & Grey Eagle
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!🎉
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 🌸
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!♥
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.
I watched your old altar video and it really resonated with me how you had parts of it dedicated to your younger self. I immediately jumped out of bed and added two pictures of myself as a child to my own altar. Thank you! ❤️
Oh Alwyn!!! This video just perked me up and enlightened my day. Thank you!! I, too, am reclaiming my inner child. My healing journey is just beginning to blossom and your videos always come at the perfect time. Your treks in the woods, your spiritual sharings and your authentic self inspire me. Thank you!!🌲🌳🌿🌷🌼🌹 --Tess
Thank you fir this. Yiu have two of my favourite decks. Earth Naguc and The Enchanted Forest. We are planning to move house and I intend to buy a writing desk like yours to use as an altar/writing desk. You have inspired me. As always I really enjoy watching your channel. You put a smile on this elderly lady's face. (Im 66). ❤😊
Alwyn as always your videos are so warm, wonderful and enchanting!! Thank you so much for making this video and all your videos, very enjoyable indeed!! I love your journeys through the Enchanted Woods, its like I could here the voices of the trees and fairies in the wind!! I love how you embrace your inner child. I too am an adult, but a child at heart, for I don't want to grow up. Your videos make my day, thank you very much indeed 👍🏻👍🏻🧚♂️🧚♂️🧚♀️🧚♀️🌲🌲🌳🌳
Merry Meet from Canada, I am a 52 year old Woman and Witch and I absolutely love watching you because I truly feel at peace and enchanted with your spiritual energy! You bring my inner child and creativity out of me! I truly feel we are Kindred Spirits. Thank you for being a free spirit and sharing your life with us. Shade and Sweet Waters to you ❤ 💌Lise ( 🧙♀️Gaia RowenOak ) OH and I live in Nova Scotia, and I'm an Aquarius too lol 😆
I resonated so much with you when you described your childhood and how you can live your true life now. I grew up in a very strict and rigid religious life, and now as a 30 year old, I have finally deconstructed and am able to live my life as intended. I absolutely adore your videos 💚✨
alwyn what funny timing for those foxgloves, as i’ve been painting foxglove all week meticulously, from top to bottom in every detail, and studying their botany. they’re appearing in my dreams and meditations and every time i close my eyes now. sometimes i’ve zapped down to teeny tiny fairy size and i’m exploring inside them as i paint. it’s so lovely that this video popped up for me at this time.
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! 🌿🌒🌕🌘🌿
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! 😊
Absolutely beautiful, Alwyn! I couldn't give away any of those keys if I'd collected them, lol. Those little cylindrical glass tubes are electrical fuses.
I use tarot as oracle cards as well, and for visualization. I also like to use them to make up stories, and the Forest of Enchantment deck is my absolute favorite for that!
Just discovered you recently and am now watching all your old videos :) I love every single one! I was so surprised when you said you were in Nova Scotia because that’s where I live! Everything is so connected ❤
I adore this lovely little show and tell! I really enjoyed seeing all the little items and momentos, you collect things in the same way as me. I can pick up a random leaf on my shelf and tell you exactly where it's from and remember everything about the day I found it.
I am seriously loving this video, I have such an inner child and she never goes away now, lol. She always wants to dance and sing and has so much energy she is too much for most peoplee as most of us in the collective are, lol.
🍁Gracias por este maravilloso 🍂video 🥰🧚♂️por compartir todos esos mágicos tesoros 🧚♀️cuantos recuerdos 🧚eres muy encantadora ,dulce 😊me emociona cada video tuyo 😊que tengas una hermosa semana saludos desde el sur de Chile 😊
Alwyn, you are such a blessing! It's always a great time when I watch one of your videos. Your joy is so infectious and it makes me happy to see someone living their life unapologetically, making each moment magical. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse into your magical life!
I love this so much!!! I travel solo whole my husband is working and I didn't think to find natures objects! I'm so excited right now! Thank you for sharing ❤️
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
I just adore you Alwyn, thank you for being here and sharing with us. You are such an inspiration and a beautiful soul... Love you to the moon and back 🥰🍂🍃🌲🍄
I love watching you! You are such a beautiful girl and so inspiring. It is the sweetest thing that you call all of us “ enchanted ones”! I would so love for you to post videos more often. Wishing you every happiness!
thank you for always sharing your life with us. your videos never fail to make me happy and at peace. everything you've shown us are so beautiful and the meaning it holds made me tear up. until next time 💗
Thank you so much for this beautiful video. I hope some day my grandchildren care as much about my things as you do about your grandparents things. It's wonderful that you keep that special connection to your family. Have a lovely summer. Blessed Be from Phoenix, Arizona
Oh my,...your portrait is STUNNING! What an amazing representation of Alwyn Oak❣️I truly enjoyed traveling through your new/old Alter. What a Blessed space.🧙

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.

oh thankyou so much that's so interesting! There were sooooooo many inside the altar! he must have loved them lol!
@@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 really love it when creators take time to put their everything into a video and it's just so special and you know you will come back to it again and again for inspiration! This is true of all your videos though!
I love your new altar, how beautiful to have that ancestral connection to your grandparents too 💚
Thankyou lovely! They really were the sweetest xxx

I love the secretary desk you acquired from your grandfather.💙
Oh alwyn this video was so enchanted I loved your new altar space 🍄🌲🌛🌝🌜💚
Thankyou so much darling!
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.
Hello Alwyn, glad I randomly found you in my curiosity of crystals. You're like a breath of fresh air with your pleasant enthusiasm and positive energy. When you mentioned keys and that tiny spoon, I hit the subscribe button because I treasure so many of the same things you've shared in this video.
That ivy teacup! 😍
Anything with ivy on it is a dream!
Such a sweet and lovely altar you have. I love all little curiosities you've collected in the woods and from places you've traveled. You're such a creative soul, and I always get so inspired by you. Now I too want to venture out in my local woods here in Sweden to find small and magic treasures.✨🍄🐿
Thank you so much for this altar tour, it made my day! And congratulations on your secret garden wedding, what a wonderful theme to have! 🥰🌿🗝
Love your altar. Beautiful desk and the fact that it was your grandparent’s makes it all the more special.
Thankyou! Yes i'm honoured to have it !!!
You are like a little sprite - so light and fairy like! I too feel such peace when I walk amongst trees. "The girl went walking in the woods, the badger slept as he knew he could, the squirrel climbed the tree of wood, and all was kind, and all was good" just a snippet from one of my poems I love to write.

Your altar is beautiful and emotional with so many symbolisms and special things. A hug from the mountains of the Andes in Colombia 🦋🌹🍀🧚♀💖
I was very close to my grandparents as well and was tearing up in happiness at your new altar space and all of the trinkets and pieces with their meaning and connections they have to your grandparents. Very positive way to do workings. You may have inspired me a bit. ✨
I don’t know how I missed this video. Your grandfather’s desk makes a wonderful altar. I love how you incorporated so much of your ancestors’ possessions. You curio cabinet is lovely. I aLso have a lot of items from my ancestors in my space as well. Thank you for sharing.
Those things from your grandfather were fuses.So cool!
Thank you for being you.... I too am a forest lover still and forever at 71......as a child of 5 wandering endlessly all day in the forest...I feel the forest raised me....I have always been and always will be embracing my inner child, and my artistic crafty nature and playing keyboard......I get my happiest feelings when I am true to myself and create something that makes my heart happy...so You are so refreshing....And you make my heart very happy to know the next generation still embraces the forest feelings. 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.❤
It was a fuse, not a battery, and they're still used nowadays. You young'uns make me feel so old! 😆I buy and sell antiques and have just bought a super interesting lot which I think you'd love - it was full of so many random items like old spectacles, matchbox covers, silver sovereign holders, an ambrotype photo (which was stunning!) etc, it just makes me wonder about who used to own it all. Great vid, thanks.
(PS I have a load of old keys too but not listed them yet! But I agree keys are awesome.)
🙈🙈🙈 I am no electrical engineer but at least I know now! Thankyou! 💚💚💚💚
I love the bureau!What a wonderful treasure!!and how great it is to have such nice little Momentos from your Grandfather and Grandmother.
Thankyou my love
Thank you VERY much for sharing this . I’m beginning my journey officially late in life and I appreciate the learning I get from your posts. Thanks again! I decided to use my great -grandmother’s secretary desk - which is a treasure to me - which is similar to your beautiful secretary. It’s helping decide what should go there.
Lately I really wanted to reconnect to my craft and the universe led me to you and your creative offering which has helped me get back to my self and my own path. I have spent a creative afternoon and feel so rejuvenated so thank you!
I absolutely love your videos like these, I’ve got crystals and ivy and leaves and whatnot around my house with fairy lights, so I definitely feel inspired! Brownie points if it’s a rainy day so I can calmly drink tea and coffee and cozy up and look at twinkling wee things! 🌿🍄🍁
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.
I love the new “old” alter & everything in it! 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 💖
I never clicked so fast! Do people still say that? 😂
Really excited to see this. I’m a new patron and a subscriber and I have been watching all of your amazing videos. 🌿🌿🌿
Thankyou so much heheh! Truly humbled by your support :D xxxx
I would do patron, but worry that it is not secure
Alwyn they are actually Car fuses as my Dad is a Car A Grade Machanic & earth works Engineer Retired now . He always had those little long glass Fuses 😊
Oh amazing thankyou!!! 💚💚💚
They keys are so powerful and thoughtful! I also love the broaches. You are such an inspiration to so many!
Thankyou!! I love anything old and whimsical looking
Such beautiful memories and the ancestral connection you have. The buff ball is so beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thankyou lovely

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 🩷🩷🌴🌴🩷🩷
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
Thank-you Alwyn Oak!
🦋🤍 Blessings! 🤍🦋
Alwyn your altar looks simply lovely I love the gothic woodland fairy vibe 🧚🏻💚🌲
Thankyou so much darling embracing the black attire at the moment 🖤🖤🖤
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. ♥
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 😊
I sooo loved your altar tour! 💚🧚🏻♀️🍃🍄🌿🪵 Magical and beautiful. 💚💚💚
You are a wise, beautiful Fairy Woman! I love that your Inner Child lives within you as your Adult Self! We all need that! And to dress ourselves accordingly! Many thanks ...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yaaaaay! Another cozy altar tour! ❤ Thank you for sharing all your adorable little things. ❤️ 😊 Your videos always make me so happy and cozy. 😊
Thankyou darling so glad you liked it
Love you, Alwyn! Thanks for always being yourself 💚
You're the best! thankyou
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. 😊
Of course I will - excited to get started !!! Blessed be
I freaked out when I saw you posted!! So excited! I love how this altar has turned out, and I love how your craft and space is always ever changing. You're very inspiring when it comes to creativity, self-care, happiness, inner child, witch craft, nature, art, aesthetic, and more. Love your videos, and your music on spotify!
Oh wow that's quite a list - thankyou so much i'm honoured! blessed be!
Your videos are so enchanting and beautiful, I always watch them several times over when you post!! Thank you for sharing your Magick 🗝️🧚♂️🧚♀️🧚
I get such a strong vibration coursing through my hands when I am able to do my grounding work! I always say thank you for whatever it is Ive absorbed and then I give an offering usually water.
thank you lady oak for sharing your experiences and your beautiful forest home blessed be
Thankyou ralph :D It's a pleasure! Blessed be
Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials! May your union be blessed. Thank for all the lovely videos.
This romp through the forest... it's what I miss most. I'm still on the hunt for accessible trails near me. Thank you for romping for me.
Thank you Alwyn, for this video. I feel nostalgic and inspired, to re-design my sacred spaces. My mom was from Nova Scotia, and had an older brother (age 20) buried at Runnymede Memorial, Surrey UK, in 1942. He was an RCAF Flight Sergeant, shot down in service to protect the Commonwealth. Truly a war hero. Your video brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for sharing your family history. Blessings from Canada.
What a treat. I loved the tour and a glimpse into your practice. Having items that all have personal meaning brings such power and individuality to your alter space. That painting is breathtaking.
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.
Blessings from your self-appointed Uncle Michael from Australia. :) aka as Uncle OZ & Grey Eagle
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!🎉
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 🌸
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!♥
So cute to see some common things: that family tree deco, that small bear, that mini tea set (mine is blue)....
😊
Thank u for always inspiring me Alwyn! My room has turned into a liitle forest know and I love the asthetic💚🌲
Awww amazing!!!! Yay for forest rooms 🌳🌳💚💚🌳🌳
You always seem to share just what I need, when I need it, thank you Alwyn 💙
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.
I watched your old altar video and it really resonated with me how you had parts of it dedicated to your younger self. I immediately jumped out of bed and added two pictures of myself as a child to my own altar. Thank you! ❤️
Oh Alwyn!!! This video just perked me up and enlightened my day. Thank you!! I, too, am reclaiming my inner child. My healing journey is just beginning to blossom and your videos always come at the perfect time. Your treks in the woods, your spiritual sharings and your authentic self inspire me. Thank you!!🌲🌳🌿🌷🌼🌹 --Tess
So happy for you! It takes a lot to embrace what it's trying to say to us!!
I can't wait to see what you wear for your wedding! ❤
Thank you fir this. Yiu have two of my favourite decks. Earth Naguc and The Enchanted Forest. We are planning to move house and I intend to buy a writing desk like yours to use as an altar/writing desk. You have inspired me. As always I really enjoy watching your channel. You put a smile on this elderly lady's face. (Im 66). ❤😊
Aww you sound so sweet! I wish you well in life 🥰💚
Alwyn as always your videos are so warm, wonderful and enchanting!! Thank you so much for making this video and all your videos, very enjoyable indeed!! I love your journeys through the Enchanted Woods, its like I could here the voices of the trees and fairies in the wind!! I love how you embrace your inner child. I too am an adult, but a child at heart, for I don't want to grow up. Your videos make my day, thank you very much indeed 👍🏻👍🏻🧚♂️🧚♂️🧚♀️🧚♀️🌲🌲🌳🌳
I love your way of magical mindfulness ✨thank you for sharing ✨
Oh thank you!
Merry Meet from Canada, I am a 52 year old Woman and Witch and I absolutely love watching you because I truly feel at peace and enchanted with your spiritual energy! You bring my inner child and creativity out of me! I truly feel we are Kindred Spirits. Thank you for being a free spirit and sharing your life with us. Shade and Sweet Waters to you ❤ 💌Lise ( 🧙♀️Gaia RowenOak ) OH and I live in Nova Scotia, and I'm an Aquarius too lol 😆
I’m Sitting in a blizzard on the side of the road waiting out the storm and Yea !! Here you are. I am enjoying the journey through your forest .
I resonated so much with you when you described your childhood and how you can live your true life now. I grew up in a very strict and rigid religious life, and now as a 30 year old, I have finally deconstructed and am able to live my life as intended. I absolutely adore your videos 💚✨
alwyn what funny timing for those foxgloves, as i’ve been painting foxglove all week meticulously, from top to bottom in every detail, and studying their botany.
they’re appearing in my dreams and meditations and every time i close my eyes now. sometimes i’ve zapped down to teeny tiny fairy size and i’m exploring inside them as i paint. it’s so lovely that this video popped up for me at this time.
I just love this video, glad you're holding the hand of little you taking it all in.
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! 🌿🌒🌕🌘🌿
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 have just found your channel while looking for videos of fairy gardens. I am hooked, you are a breath of fresh air.
Absolutely beautiful, Alwyn! I couldn't give away any of those keys if I'd collected them, lol.
Those little cylindrical glass tubes are electrical fuses.
🌲🌳🍀🗝 & Lockett, foxglove, the holly & the ivy, dropfront desk, and all of the artwork. Relaxing as always🍀🌳🌲.
I use tarot as oracle cards as well, and for visualization. I also like to use them to make up stories, and the Forest of Enchantment deck is my absolute favorite for that!
Just discovered you recently and am now watching all your old videos :) I love every single one! I was so surprised when you said you were in Nova Scotia because that’s where I live! Everything is so connected ❤
I am learning a lot.
I adore this lovely little show and tell! I really enjoyed seeing all the little items and momentos, you collect things in the same way as me. I can pick up a random leaf on my shelf and tell you exactly where it's from and remember everything about the day I found it.
I am seriously loving this video, I have such an inner child and she never goes away now, lol. She always wants to dance and sing and has so much energy she is too much for most peoplee as most of us in the collective are, lol.
🍁Gracias por este maravilloso 🍂video 🥰🧚♂️por compartir todos esos mágicos tesoros 🧚♀️cuantos recuerdos 🧚eres muy encantadora ,dulce 😊me emociona cada video tuyo 😊que tengas una hermosa semana saludos desde el sur de Chile 😊
Thank you Alwyn for a beautiful Video love your new altar x
Thankyou so much Frances 😄💚🌳🍃🌱
Alwyn, you are such a blessing! It's always a great time when I watch one of your videos. Your joy is so infectious and it makes me happy to see someone living their life unapologetically, making each moment magical. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse into your magical life!
Thank you so much for each upload--they bring out my inner nature-child. You have such a lovely soul.
Thankyou so glad to hear that!
I love this so much!!! I travel solo whole my husband is working and I didn't think to find natures objects! I'm so excited right now! Thank you for sharing ❤️
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
I just adore you Alwyn, thank you for being here and sharing with us. You are such an inspiration and a beautiful soul... Love you to the moon and back 🥰🍂🍃🌲🍄
I love watching you! You are such a beautiful girl and so inspiring. It is the sweetest thing that you call all of us “ enchanted ones”! I would so love for you to post videos more often. Wishing you every happiness!
What a magical journey you are on and thank you for sharing. The woods there are very beautiful and have lots of spirits.
thank you for always sharing your life with us. your videos never fail to make me happy and at peace. everything you've shown us are so beautiful and the meaning it holds made me tear up. until next time 💗
I love your altar Alwyn, so inspiring 🤩 those little tube type things from your grandpa are fuses..
Thankyou darling! Yes had no idea what they were !! Good to know finally !!
Thank you so much for this beautiful video. I hope some day my grandchildren care as much about my things as you do about your grandparents things. It's wonderful that you keep that special connection to your family. Have a lovely summer. Blessed Be from Phoenix, Arizona
Oh my,...your portrait is STUNNING! What an amazing representation of Alwyn Oak❣️I truly enjoyed traveling through your new/old Alter. What a Blessed space.🧙
Wishing you a Blessed Litha ,Alwyn . ❤🌹🔥
