Australian Faerie Tale 🍀 Garden Abundance Spell

“There is no magic when one no longer believes.” - Hilda Lewis
Hello Wildflowers! This episode of 'The Rambling Rose' is all about Australian faerie tales, imagination, books, art and childhood wonder. I’ll share with you my favourite children’s book, some illustrations from my childhood, and answer the question - do I really believe in faeries? We’ll also be getting a little witchy, crafting a lucky garden abundance spell jar, and painting a beautiful bookplate filled with bluebells and clover, for my new book ‘Wild Faerie Magick’.
I so hope you will enjoy the video!

My stepmother, who I lovingly think of as the white witch of Savannah (Georgia), told me if she wished for a plant, it would eventually show up in her yard. She wanted mistletoe for Yule and it appeared in a tree. I've had similar experiences: two black currant bushes sprouted in my yard, for example, after I began to admire them after picking enough in the wild to make a few bottles of liquor from them. Funny how this works, but it does. I totally believed in fairies as a child, and sort of still do. My daughter and I made fairy houses when she was little, to attract them to our garden. People wonder why I can grow plants that others can't in the harsh environment I live in. Fairies at work?

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh I love this story, William! And I am so intrigued to know more about the white witch of Savanna! I might have to make a wish list today and see if the faeries bless me with every single one as the years go by... as I'm sure they will! Your daughter's faerie houses sound so cute 🥀 xx

[@williambent9636]

@@theramblingrose_ It's so nice of you to reply. You are a very talented and interesting person.. I'm so glad I found your channel.

[@thecottagelibrary]

Oh, another lovely and beautiful video! 🧚🏻‍♀🌸💗 I like to think that too. what exists in our imagination, exists.

[@theramblingrose_]

Yes, absolutely! I've been a storyteller from birth, and always with a huge inner world of imagination, dreams, visions... I think it would be pretty boring if the only reality were the mundane world, don't you? My inner child definitely prefers the imaginary worlds ❤💫🧚🏻

[@thecottagelibrary]

@@theramblingrose_ I can totally relate. I wouldn’t be me without my inner worlds and imagination and, to be honest, plain reality is never enough for me 🧚🏻‍♀️✨🌱🌷

[@theMermaidRhonda]

I lost count of the times I would venture into the woods and wish for the fae to visit, or for a magickal horse to come along and whisk me away to a far away land. I was very much an artistic child...doing everything from drawing and painting, to macrame and crochet and whatever else I could get my hands on. I would also read all the time. I suppose I still live in that world of fantasy even now. I've recently started doing more drawing again and it feels so good! I'd love to see a video of you creating one of your beautiful works of art. Indulge a kindred spirit over on the other side of the world who is living vicariously through your summer videos as we enter into winter. 💖🍀❄

[@theramblingrose_]

You got it, Rhonda! The next episode is going to be very arty/crafty and you'll get a peek at my summer cottage garden too. Thank you so much for this lovely comment. May the winter faeries bless you with a little visit soon ✨xx

Of course - your wish is my command 🌹xx

[@emac1619]

You are my new favorite KZbinr. I love listening to your videos as much as watching them. You have such a soothing and kind voice. I feel like I can feel your good energy coming through. I need some positive energy right now. Thank you.

[@theramblingrose_]

Wow, thank you! What an amazing compliment, you have made my day ❤xx

[@daniellesmith6719]

I’m blown away. In less than 1 week I have found fairy this and fairy that. It’s so heart opening and beautiful. My inner child loves all that is fairies. I’m so joyous that I found you.

[@theramblingrose_]

That's wonderful Danielle! I visited an elderly man the other day and saw a bunch of mushrooms and fairy houses around his doorstep. When I asked him about them he said they were for his granddaughter. He said she must have grown out of fairies, because she doesn't stop to look for them anymore. She's about 12 now. I laughed and said, don't worry, she'll find them again around 40!! I'm so happy we found each other too, thanks for watching x

[@Gramarye_cottage]

Thank you for the garden spell 🙏

[@summermoongarden]

Love this video and your explanation of what it means to believe in fairies. I love gardening and feel a connection with fairies as well. I have never been able to go along with the typical American fast pace of life. I enjoy the slower pace where I can enjoy the beauty of nature and my surroundings. Your videos are so beautiful and refreshing! So glad I found your channel.

[@theramblingrose_]

So glad you found me too - this channel is like my 'message in a bottle' to be found by other faerie souls. I really don't cope well with the 'fast life', I don't think any of us really are made for it, perhaps some are just better at adjusting to the modern world than others? I think my anarchist nature simply doesn't allow me to put my head down and conform - just want to dance in the daisies and flip the bird to 'the system' ahah xx

[@northangel30leather6]

This video was pure, delightful magic. So healing and joy giving. Thank you lovely fairy lady!! X

You are so welcome! This is a little favourite of mine - must make another spell jar for my new house soon 🥀 xx

What a beautiful video but made me very sad as I’m a great believer in fairies but with age I’ve left them behind, I MUST find them again. I’m going to make your spell and I absolutely know Kym will too. Only yesterday I planted my tomatoes and spoke to them as I did it. Thanks for bringing me back lovely. 💗

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh Pauline, what a beautiful comment. Thank you so much for watching and enjoying these videos. I'm having a wee little rest before beginning the next one. I can imagine the 'tomato faerie' being a cheeky little one with freckles and rosy cheeks x

How beautiful, Laura, to believe in the invisible world, and what we see with our hearts and imaginations. Thank you for watching, kindred faerie soul 🧚‍♀️🌸💐

[@LifewithAlegria]

Dear Nancy, you are a kindred spirit. Your story about the Australian Faerie touched me so deeply and brought moistened eyes. Your aesthetic and your essence are so relatable to me. What a beautiful story, and an exquisite video. Yes, I still paint and draw and write and dream, still as an adult (an old one), because I too am connected with my inner child. And I am ever connected to the flowers and trees in my garden. In particular, an old willow tree. I must share it’s story. Your videos make me feel free enough to do so. Thank you for this beautiful slice of heaven. Much love, Alegria 💕🌸

[@theramblingrose_]

Alegria, thank you so much for this beautifully thoughtful comment. If I could be 'in' my inner child world all day, every day, I really would. It is so much nicer in the world of imagination. Please tell me about your willow tree - they have such peaceful energy and deep wisdom to share. Much love right back to you, sweet soul 💕🌸

[@LifewithAlegria]

@@theramblingrose_ I completely relate. Have a beautiful week ahead Nancy. 💕🌸

[@FAGV]

I'm glad that the Australian Faerie returned to the forest 🙂 We really need to keep in touch with nature. There's nothing like a pleasant walk in the forest, feeling the leaves and soil under our feet, listening to the wind in the trees and the birds. I have a little area in my garden which I call The Forest. It's just 3 bushes that grow very large but it's nice to sit beneath them. The rays of sunlight are filtered and it feels very cosy. Thanks a lot for another beautiful and inspiring video 🙂

[@theramblingrose_]

I dream of living deep in the woods one day... surrounded by my tree friends. But for now, I'll have to grow garden flowers as tall as me and pretend 🌼🍃

[@mimasciotto5846]

Oh I love your garden....I have finally found my fairy haven....I believe in fairies and angels, they are always around us....I too used to draw as a child and got lost in the grownup world....I'm now a crone, can't wait to see more of your news, I will try to see if I get a name as well.... blessed be with love and light

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh Mima, that’s wonderful. So happy that you found your faerie haven. It’s so nice to return after a long time in the grownup world. I think now more than ever, we need a bit of wonder and whimsy in life. Have you read Jane Hardwicke Collings work on the four seasons of a woman’s life? She talks about a phase in between mother and crone, called ‘Maga’. I found this so interesting and definitely relate to heading towards the ‘Autumn’ of my life. Here’s the article … janehardwickecollings.com/introducing-maga/

I'm so happy to hear that! I'm wondering if I should try to make more, but a little shorter each time, and post weekly... what do you think? xx

[@alisong06]

I think 15 minutes is a perfect length and weekly would be amazing but also appreciate the amount of time it takes to film and edit that 15 mins is a huge commitment. Maybe every 2 weeks would be a good compromise ? I look forward to following your journey ❤

Dearest lady Rose,you must know this. I have pieces of the old witch bottles,as I am a mudlark,and have found bits of them upon the foreshore of the River Thames. They date back to the 1500’s,they often have the face of a bearded man,Bartmann,he is the wild green man. Oh,if only I could send you one,so that you could own a real,proper witches bottle! Also know this. As a vagabond familiar,I cannot process any sort of admiration,or love for someone. I wish I could,as I see you in such a beautiful white dress. It’s all right,you know,with a wink of an eye,there is such a feeling,unsaid,but expressed,subtly.
