Hello Enchanted ones,
The sun is male and the moon is female - yes I know I mixed it up 😅 I am only human after all
Welcome back! I had a few weeks break just to ground myself and balance after a few crazy videos last month! So, I am back and here with this Altar tour and idea video - which I truly hope you enjoy! I have had this altar for one year but I truly believe that if you’d like to create an altar to honour your craft and practice at - your altar can be anything you’d like it to be! This altar does not follow any particular type of witchcraft so if you’d like to learn more about specific types of altars e.g., Wiccan. There are tons of great videos on RUclips. With saying that - I believe if you surround yourself with the things you love, your intention will be purer than ever! Self Expression is amazing!
Anyway, hope you enjoy it
All my Love
Alwyn

*the Sun is mascaline 🌞 and the moon is feminine 🌙
In Norse Paganism, it's the opposite- the sun is the goddess Sunna and moon is her brother Mani 😊
Yup, the moon is a lady 🌙
You are the only other person I know of that keeps random tiny things from nature, from your past and childhood... Now i know what i can do with them :)
Doing this as a child are the first signs of a witchy proclivity. It's a sign
I also have a shelf of random things from nature that have followed me home over the years . It basically serves as my alter.
I collect random feathers and nick-knacks I find in nature
It's far more common than you know, especially among us gen z, we still keep sticks hidden in our homes everywhere
My husband said he’s sick of all the rocks and twigs and acorns piling up
Just realised I spelt Alter with an E!! Alexa has failed me!!
"ALEXA! Get your coat. You're leaving!" Very timely and as always appreciated video Miss Oak ❤️
Hahaha yes I'm going to throw her out the window! How dare she?! I was so confident too... But when I uploaded it I was like... Hang on that doesn't look right 😅😂🙈🙈
@@AlwynOak hahaha my own personal shame is that I did not notice despite being an irritable grammar grump. This is possibly my first ever comment on your channel. I don't make comments a habit but I am the silent majority who are forever grateful for your sharing of our ways as well as your presence on our dear green place. Thank you and blessed be.
Ohh thankyou so much that truly warned my heart! I am so grateful for you being here 💚💚💚 lots of love and have a great weekend 🌲💚✨
@@AlwynOak And you beautiful lady. Love in abundance ❤️🧡💛
The way you lovingly placed your childhood photo in a shrine of self-love elements actually brought tears to my eyes, it's so sweet. So many of us have inner child wounds we're tending and that's just such a lovely way to be reminded to reach back and say to your younger self, I see you, I love you, you are worthy. I am grateful for the inspiration 💛 (also I lol'ed at the halloumi crystal 😂) Thank you for sharing all your creative ideas!
Beautiful beautiful soul! 🥰
Awww eee thankyou so much lovely 😊💚✨🤗
I really loved watching the evolution of your altar, because mine started in a similar place. It was just a little shoebox in the bottom drawer of my dresser with tealights and other little magical bits and bobs that I had as a teenager, and now, in my twenties, it's a whole setup with a table and storage shelves to the side along the majority of one of the walls in my living room, full of all the books, tools, crystals, and herbs I've accumulated over the years. Oh, and a million candles, of course, lol.
Boxes to start from, yes))))
Thank you for sharing your video I haven't started an alter one reason is my fiance doesn't agree with anything to do with a witch also I'm a baby as well I don't know if I'm a witch or not .
your channel is literally my safe place
I am so glad sweet!! Thankyou so much for being here 💚⭐🤗✨☀️
Love 😍 it so much
Great way to drown out the news, too! Why sit there listening to stuff that makes you mad when you can watch a RUclips channel that makes you smile instead?
I have many altars in my cottage in the forest. I love them as they represent my path and bring me joy as well as being a part of my craft. Like you I’m always collecting bits from the forest. I just can’t throw any of it out. I have many nature bowls on tables, altars etc too. Blessings to you 💚
Ohh I am glad I am not the only one! Memories are so precious aren't they?! It's so difficult saying goodbye to them 😍☀️✨🤗 actually last Christmas I said goodbye to alot of my items I collected when I decorated a fir tree in my favourite place in the woods - a lovely memory and also a fun yule tradition!! Lots of love and have a lovely weekend 🤗✨💚
How does it not get disturbed? Whether nature, wind, animals, other humans, etc.
This always makes me think about how my altar has changed over the years. When I realized an alter could look however I wanted and only needed some key materials I turned it into a fish tank. It is absolutely amazing to me.
A fish tank??? That's awesome dude
You always do everything with a purpose my sweet Alwyn. I know we spoke of how when were children and how we are still a child inside. Love your picture of you as a little girl. Thank you for allowing us to appreciate more of you and see more of how you are on the inside and your respect and love of nature. I love the pencil sharpener lol. It’s adorbsicles!!!You’re just precious. Much love your way 💚
Ohh thankyou so much sweet I am so glad you enjoyed it! I really love how you are loving me being more open and the truth is you are giving me the confidence to be more confident so thankyou so much! Can't wait to share more and more!! Yes I LOOOOVE honouring my inner child! Glad you liked the pic on the tutu - I was never good at ballet... I literally ran around like a little fairy instead of doing what I was told!!! Much like what I do now actually
😂😂😂💚💚💚✨ Lots of love and thanks agian
I am late but OMG, this video is awesome! You are indeed a fairy from another realm. Everything you teach us is so real and deep. I feel everything you say. You are so rare and one of the kindest souls under our sun. Thank you very very much, nature fairy Alwyn! 🌱🌳💚
Ohhh wow thankyou so much for such beautiful words 😭🤗✨💚 I am truly humbled!!! I love collecting things that have a meaning otherwise I think... Why are YOU there 😂😂 but if I don't like the look of something I'll ALWAYS give it a bit of a diy to make it Alwyn approved 😂 lots of love
I LOVE how you hand stamp the tittle on paper 💕💕💕💕
Aww thankyou so much! There's no font that can truly sum up what I want so I needed stamps! 😊💚
@@AlwynOak Yes absolutly!
I keep my altar items in a box with a large cloth, candles, incense, wand etc and when I'm doing spells I lay the cloth on the floor and place all my items on top. I like keeping my items away so they don't pick up everyday energy. Beautiful video btw 🌕💖
Our childhood boxes are so similar and they bring so much comfort and joy 💛 I love your videos so much x
I have a pine cone that I found at my grandparents house. That was 46 years ago. Sometimes I play with it just as I did when I was little. Memories.
When you were showing all your forest finds memories I couldn't help but think you're a forest fairy 🧚♀️☺ I loved this video and all your content, very inspiring plus your voice is so soothing ✨
Ohh thankyou so much!! Hehe that's so sweet! I just LOVE collecting things from all my favorite places! I just want to fill the cupboard up with them 😂 lots of love to you!! 😭✨💚
My partner is always poking around in my alters.
The other day I found she was using my magic candle in the loo while she was using it!
After a few talks I’ve noticed her being more intentional but not understanding any boundaries.
I had a dream of this all before it happened. In the dream she was trying to take out a magic dried flower from my pendant.
I’m still in the broom closet and I understand the desire for privacy around your alters
Love the idea of keeping your altar in a bureau... seeing your video makes me feel much better about the seemingly random nature items I cling to. Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏
I love your alter your and encouraging everyone to do what speaks to us as individuals.
Baby witch here! Your Alter is amazing. I love how unique, thoughtful and personal it is to you in which i feel it should be, this helps me so much as sort of a guide as I'm starting my own Alter. Thanks for this.
Your way of living is beyond serene. You are such a beautiful, free soul.
I seriously love love love this. I swear I have met my mental doppelganger.
I have vases of sticks, leaves dried out, things I just cannot part with because nature allowed me to find them when I was supposed to...
I am so happy I have come across your channel ❤🌞🙏
It’s so strange, the moment I saw your room I became so overwhelmed and brought to tears ❤️ your space is beautiful, I’m so inspired
I adore your aesthetic, so magical and dreamy. Great video as usual! I love working with found objects or things I've crafted too and I always get inspiration from your videos 😊
Thankyou so much Mulan! Glad you enjoyed it. I was thinking a few weeks ago.. Why haven't I done an altar video yet?! 😂 Glad you like working with found objects! Amazing how nature can give and its all free!!! Have a great weekend 💚🤗✨
Thank you for showing your alter progression! This definitely takes the pressure/shame/imposter feelings off this practice ❤
I absolutely LOVE your altar! I’ve always been drawn to the woods/forest and feel most comfortable there. You have such a sweet energy about you and I love to watch your videos
Thankyou so much Elizabeth that is sooo kind!! Im so glad you enjoy watching my videos
Your Altar is so beautiful, love the healing shrine for your inner child 🥰💚
Love this! I’m so inspired by the items you find in nature. Something so small and insignificant can really be sacred to us. 🌿💚
Hi Gabrielle I'm so glad you like them! Yes, my mum was going to just throw the dried hydrangeas away but I stopped her in her path and looked at them and just melted 😍😍 now I use them as flowers all over my home and they will never look old and dreary as they are already dead! Haha! Lots of love 💚😊🤗
@@AlwynOak 👍🌿💚
This was the video i first saw you in and instantly this became my favourite channel until today 🧚🏻♀️🥀🐻🌼🐈💍
Of all your videos, this one is my favourite. The way you honour your self is so beautiful and inspiring :)
Oh hunny we won't judge! I love your energy and how you see things and find happiness in them! Blessed be ❤
I love your alter and how it reflects your mind and soul. I love all your bits from nature. I have wooden bowls and containers all over the house holding things I find on walks and hikes.
This video warmed my heart so much.. especially the part when you opened your little box with treasures from your childhood. 💕 it almost made me cry! 🥲 You have the sweetest energy. Thank you so much for sharing such personal things with us... I really needed this today - I've been so grumpy and couldn't seem to shake it off until now. Much love to you!
I love the background music for this video. Very beautiful and relaxing.
Really.. for the past few years I believe I can feel other people's energy, even maybe through videos.. if that's not weird?? your energy makes me feel so calm!! thank you for that!
I love your altar. Those dried flowers do look like fairy wings💖🧚♀️🧚♂️
Thankyou Tanya!! I know they are amazing!! Nature can be so beautiful alive or dead!
I was given a stone by my niece that looked like a mountain like mount fuji. I have it to this day and i found im drawn to it 😊
I think that your crescent moon could also look like a unicorn hoof! ♡
Omg yes love that!!! 🦄🧚🏻♂️✨
What a collection of lovely things! Most of my items are kept within a box since I don’t want to explain everything to my husband and child, but I do have a triple goddess statue, some candles and an incense burner set up on a shelf on a more permanent basis. It’s pretty low-key, but I’m also kind of a minimalist. I like looking at everyone else’s though!
Love this sounds lovely and yes it's great to know that you do your own thing to suit yourself and what you are comfortable with 😍😍 yes I used to keep everything in my box for the very same reason!! Lots of love 💚😊💚
What a gorgeous alter and I love all of the meaning behind every little thing.
I loved this video. I have a cabinet of all my childhood memories and things from my parents and grandparents which i go to when i need cheering up. I also have a few wooden boxes my dad made and you have inspired me to use and fill them with things i have collected..shells, sticks etc.
Thankyou🙏
Ahhh so many beautyful things! 🥰🥰🥰 Also oddly nice to see another adult collect, keep and appreciate random things they find outside
this has to be the best video iv seen on youtube ever! you have a beautiful energy x
Wow thankyou so much Kim! Have a lovely day 😘
the way you move your hands across things is so relaxing lol
Aww haha thankyou! I like hand modelling! 🤣
I’ve got extreme chills from this video your energy and aura is amazing
the mini terrarium was adorable!! i never thought of that, definitely going to incorporate my own
I absolutly love your altar set up! It makes me really motivated to spend more time working on my own. Thank you for sharing💚🌻
Thankyou so much sweet! I find it almost theraputic to set it up and change it about!! Have fun with yours 🤗💚✨🌙
A beautiful video 🌺 Thank you for sharing 🌹 I can't remember what my life was like before I found your inspiring and uplifting channel ❤
Hi Ashleigh that is so lovely thankyou so much!!! Haha i honestly cant remember what life was life before i started creating videos - it's one of the best things i have ever done!! Lots of love
Once a wonderful witch, I was much as you are now...it was a beautiful state of being! Unfortunately, tragedy struck for me, and I now am disabled to a serious degree. Still, I would encourage all witches to explore themselves and the world around them with enthusiasm and wonder, for these may be the best days of your lives! 🌛🌟🌜
I like your Crystals , it's more beneficial to store your crystals in the open
rather than in a cabinet as it blocks the healing frequencies .
Indigo Gabbro , Smokey Quartz & Black Tourmaline are useful .
You are very lucky to have such a divine personality .
I laughed out loud at the halloumi cheese rock 😂 I also have a collection of random shells and rocks that reminded me of certain things
😂😂 Thanks hehe!! I was worried as I thougut it sounded like I was taking the mick haha but honestly that is what drew me to the rock 😂😂⭐☀️🌞🤗 lots of love!
I have a possible suggestion for the bits and bobs and other dried plants... maybe get a large glass bowl/bottle/terrarium with a lid to put them in in a pretty arrangement as both decor and part of the altar/above the altar. Just a thought that came to me while watching.
New subscriber here ❤ as soon as I heard you speak and show how much you love your things I instantly subscribed you are beautiful and so is your space I can’t wait to watch more of your videos 😊 thank you for sharing ❤
What a lovely altar and video you've made! Truly adore you aesthetic! 🧙🏼♀✨
Ooh! My altar has been a really difficult thing to figure out for me so this is super helpful! I love your style. Keep up the good work ♥
Thankyou so much sweet!! I know it's hard to choose a style isn't it!! Sometimes it takes years and years to find it out!! Lots of love to you 😊💚✨
Love The tree nd how u change it seasonlly. I m a 60 year.old Newbie to this Pagan way of life. It Fits me being a Nature and Shroom fiend 😆
I just love and adore your videos. Such an Earth child you are. You express so much peace and tranquility. It is so calming. Thank you for sharing Merry Meet and Blessed Be.❤🐛🍀🌿
I do not speak fluent english, and sometimes its hard to understand people. However, your pronunciation is so calm and clean so I can absorb every word you say.
What a perfect piece of furniture to both display and store your sacred items you want to keep private and untouched by others. I love the space to honor your inner child, but most of all, I love that you've put your hands to making a lot of items from things you've found in Nature. It brings to mind faeries. It looks very powerful, yet at the same time, playful, lighthearted, and sincere. Thank you for sharing, this is the prettiest altar ever seen to my eyes and I really appreciate you sharing it. xo
Ahh thankyou so much reading your lovely heartfelt message gave me goosebumps! I am so glad you like it! I really wanted it to be a place where i felt so connected and most connected - so creating all the items inside just gave it that extra special touch - and the fact that they are all sticks from my woods i just feel that extra connected to them now!! Have a truly blessed sunday - lots of love
I have many altars around my house. Next to my laptop, I have a stool that has a bunch of crystals to either dispel negative energy or enhance peace and creativity, a candle and some dried flowers.
any surface is subject to be set up as an altar and still life, because I mostly appreciate the crystals pots and items that I have and want them to be placed in a way that is beautiful.
This has been the MOST inspiring and empowering video for me in my new journey of finding the witch within me!! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Aww thankyou that means so much!! Blessings to you 😊💚💚
This is absolutely stunning!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Aww thankyou lovely I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I have shown it enough times I thought it was about time I did a tour of it 😅😊💚💚
I love the inner child acknowledgement, I have been trying to work on that as well. Remembering and honoring.
Such a great video with a personal, cozy vibe! I loved the pencil holder and childhood memory box as sentimental nods to your past and your loved ones.
I loved seeing how your alter grew and your tour at the end was beautiful I love how you see your whole room as your alter xx
Thanks for sharing your beautiful altar 🌺😍❤️ You are so enchanted soul and I love to see your videos always! Have a beautiful spring ❤️🌺🌿🌸🌼💜
Thankyou so much Susanna! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful to see your altar Alwyn. I felt very inspired for ideas to add to my altar. 💓🌺
Such a beautiful space! I also have doors on part of my altar. I love it. Great video as always🧚🍃💫
Thankyou sweet so glad you like it! It's nice to keep it hidden isn't it?! So nice to open it up and go 😍😍😍😍 everytime! 💚✨😊
I adore your BOS, and I agree, it's too beautiful to store away! I'm in the process of overhauling one of my rooms (currently an office) to be my altar space. It's a huge job, but it will be so worth it.:)
Thank you for sharing your altar! Mine is a ritual only table that changes decoratively with the sabbats. My Zen room, where my altar resides, is where all my collections are on shelves, bookcase, walls, etc..including Herbs, crystals, BOS, teas, figurines and crafts. It’s a peaceful room. ☺️ I’m looking forward to seeing your next video for more inspiration ✨♥️✨
Loved your video. Very nostalgic, extremely aesthetic, classy, hands on and represents the energy of a true and blessed witch/occult practitioner. Loved your charming cat as well. Blessed be🙏
Love this ❤ Your book of shadows and tree are so beautiful ❤🔮🙏🏻
It looks beautiful, & it's interesting to learn about this stuff-my friend's birthday is coming up & I wanted to get her a gift that she could use for her alter, but I don't know much about this stuff. This definitely gives me some good ideas
I love your altar and your home, thank you for sharing. I have an altar in my studio and have various items in it including a clay goddess I made as I do resonate with the goddess but love all the earthy things you have especially your twig candle holders, you have inspired me to create some nature based items. 💜
Love the editing trick you did to light the candles 🥰 so enchanting
Your altar is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for a ✨magical✨ tour!! I absolutely LOVE the idea of doing a self-shrine. I actually repurpose a desktop shelf extension as my altar because it’s low and narrow. It has a second shelf that I’m currently using to store magical items. I never though of expanding my altar space. I have an entire corner!! Hehe… I know just what I’ll be dedicating space to 💚🧚✨💚
Thankyou so much sweet im so glad you enjoyed it! Yes the self shrine was a lovely idea from a book I read about gracing our inner child at our altar and I loved the idea so much! Oh wow your altar sounds so cool!! Ooo enjoy the 🧚🏻♂️🧚🏻🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♂️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻 expansion! That sounds the dream 😊💚🌲✨
Thank you for sharing these lovely altar tips! I loved the altar tour as well 💖🏵️🔥
Thankyou sweet so glad you enjoyed them! Lots of love 💚🌲🤗✨
You are such a sweet person, yes some say fairy-like and I agree…. You have a beautiful altar and I agree that things from our childhood makes us so happy. I regret I didn’t keep more. But I am so happy with what I still have and cherish it. Some things I got from family members who are not physically with us anymore, so they mean a lot and yes they are on my alter/sacred place. You are inspiring, thank you so much 😊🙏
lovely....just lovely....thank you for sharing your sacred space
Very interesting and transparent...possible to see straight through emotions and ego, direct to your'e soul in this video....You are pure love....You inspire love!
Beautiful bureau. I totally agree that your altar is an extension to your personality and can be anything. I have the same cabinet, and brings me joy too. Keep posting, love your style and energy x
Such calm energies from this video alone..keep collecting and expanding
I Just Loved Your Crystal Cabinet
With All Of Your Gorgeous Earth
Stones. Your Alter Is Also A Favorite.
The Dried Flowers And Leaves Look
Like They Smell So Good!
This Video Is So Much Fun To Watch!
💚💙🌎🌍🌏💙💚
Hi Cathy I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!!! They do smell amazing hehe! It's amazing how smells can take us back and opening the flowers It just takes me to that place and time! 🤗🌞⭐✨☀️
@@AlwynOak
❤❤💐💐❤❤
A beautiful set up. And methinks that decking the stump out to work as an altar is brilliant.
I love your altar, it's so beautiful!! I love that you have a lot of things from the woods and also you have place for your inner child.. and also, love your little memory boxes!! overall your altar has a sweet peaceful energy. sendig love
This just made me realize I own something from my grandmother I can repurpose. Thank you for this video!
I thank you for sharing, your findings are awesome and your alter is awesome too. It's all beautiful. My fiancé doesn't a agree with a witch so i can't even make a alter but i dont know if I'm a witch or what.
so beautiful! gave me lots of ideas for my alter, hopefully will have a nice big permanent one soon
Awww..charlie🐈.a realy nice personal video arwyn ,some really good and useful ideas!!Will be definitely be getting a diffuser. 💚🧸🗡💎
Thankyou Sandy!! Charlie loves his feather haha! He always sits by the chair and then I know that it's play time!!! Ohh a defuser is amazing and so magical.. Highly recommend! Lots of love 🤗✨💚
I use things I collect from nature for my centerpieces for Holidays when family is over. Love it!
this is the prettiest altar i’ve ever seen.
Aww thats so kind thankyou!
I absolutely love your altar. I have the same little cabinet like yours on your altar. I keep some herbs and crystals in mine and little plants on the side shelfs
Ohh that's amazing!! I often wonder how old it is! Do you know any details about yours? I love the idea of plants on the shelves of it 😍✨💚
@@AlwynOak the lady I got it from said its mid to late 18 century possibly early 1900. Yes I absolutely love mine thought of putting fairy lights in it some how to kinda showcase what's inside better
I have just stumbled upon your channel via this video and I found that this video in particular was just what I needed at this time. I struggle to sleep at night but the beautiful, natural imagery combined with your gentle, soothing voice have helped me feel calm and at ease. Thank you for sharing ❤
One of my altars is our beautiful kitchen table! My spell language is food and drink, so I have a statue of Dionysus in the center at the back. I regard all my wooden spoons and my dough whisk and my rolling pins as wands. I love to work on it. My father built it for us. Just today I added a wreath made of wild grape vines, and I really like the energy it puts out. There is a little hand-woven basket made of the same vines, and I have a few vinegar concoctions sitting on the table. I keep a shot glass for libations for Di, and always try to give him a few food offerings. There is a candle in a jar on top of a small bed of dried rice for abundance, coins for wealth, bay leaf for prosperity and health, and a few other things buried in the rice. Garlic is always on the table, along with whatever produce I plan to use. It is a wonderful altar that has fed many people.
My other altar has animal bones, bits of wood, the ashes of a beloved cat, pictures and items from ancestors, and various, more private things. It is in our bedroom and is meant more for us. So one altar just for solo stuff, and one for guests!
This is such a lovely altar! I'm moving in a couple weeks and just had to take mine apart, your video and calming energy has really left me feeling inspired and excited for this new change!
Absolutely breathtaking!
Thankyou so much sweet 😭🤗💚✨
I am so happy to see you have sticks, pinecones, and such. Earth candy to me! Love this video. Thank you
Lovely to see someone that likes what I like.
Awww yee!! Glad you like it!
Male-Witch music artist & YT tarot reader here in Hollywood LA with my familiar PierrO the rabbit 🐰 This video was fantastic! I too have so many items from childhood (rare for a male I know) & I too collect so many twigs from various trees I regularly commune with, in particular this very huge old & majestic poisonous aromatic Brugmansia Tree (Angel trumpet) you can smell for blocks throughout the city! & she even enters my dreams! I make Cucina tribal dolls in commemoration of our divine Mother, Father & Magic 🪄 Child (which is all of us collectively) I also have a lot of woods from the sea & shells & make my own besoms powered by copper, crystals & magnets which I attribute various masculine & feminine deities to. My music studio is right across from my altar & of course these two workstations work in tandem as my music is very faerie inspired. So glad to have found your channel! BLESSED BEEZ! 🐝 😇🧹🪄🛸🐇🐰🧙♀️🌙🎤🎵🎹
I adore the b roll and this special care taken with each shot. I really enjoyed watching how your practice grew, and how you mentioned that you can start out or have as much a little as you want. Something I'm afraid most people do not mention.
