Magick Mabon 🍎 Cosy Autumn Adventures with a Cottage Witch

“If a year was tucked inside of a clock, then autumn would be the magic hour.” - Victoria Erickson
Hello Wildflowers! In this episode, we'll be going on an autumn apple picking adventure together, taking a road trip with my furry companion, Noah, to visit Black Barn Farm, a regenerative permaculture farm. We'll get to meet author Jade Miles and have a chat about the magic of 'The Turning' season, bake a scrumptious Dutch Apple & Blackberry Pie, and paint a page for my upcoming book 'Wild Faerie Magick'.
I so hope you will enjoy the video!

Autumn and winter has always touched my soul. I love it as the days become shorter and it brings a time of peace, comfort, coziness and the coziness of it.

My favourite season of all 🥀 xx

“The season of letting go” what a beautiful thought! 🍁

[@theramblingrose_]

Yes, it truly is. As a gardener, this couldn't be more true. I just walked rather forlornly (is that a word?) around my veggie patch pulling out dead plants and saying goodbye.

[@sallycormier1383]

@@theramblingrose_ yes it’s a word, ha. Well one of my fav things about autumn is the falling leaves(as well as changing color) so it’s such a perfect thought to go with that. In fact my mom always wanted to write a story about Lucy Leaf who was afraid to let go and was the last leaf clinging to the tree that autumn.

Here in Sweden we finally got some warmer weather today. And as a gardener I’m outside or in my greenhouse 24/7 from now and until fall. I hardly sleep at all summertime and like a bumblebee I enjoy my flowers, defying gravity and in winter I sleep, seeking warmth and rest until spring again.

Noah is great 🙂Here, spring has arrived. I have a garden, which I like to think of as a mediterranean cottage garden. The plums will give me plenty to appreciate this year. Pears are also promising. And figs and clementines... yummy 😋 I think every season is great and we should appreciate the differences and opportunities they bring. The same applies to our own age. Each age gives us different opportunities. We should, however, always welcome our inner child. Keep on dreaming 🙂

[@theramblingrose_]

Oh yum! Figs are one of my all time favourite fruits. And clementines! Completely agree with the seasons reflecting our own life cycle, I am coming into the 'autumn' of my life and it feels beautiful and peaceful 🌷🌼🌺 I will surely keep on dreaming, Francisco - you too xx

You live in the same world I do, not the world of the here and the seen but of the magical, mystical and unseen. Fae folk dancing in the woods, an evening stroll down a bat and star -filled lane, solitude so one can connect with the trees and nature around us and of course your handsome collie man who is adorable and beautiful and reminds me of my boy I lost a couple of years ago. From one Kindred spirit living in the UK to another in Oz, I'm with you all the way on your beautiful, fairy-filled journey back to peace and happiness. Your videos bring me so much serenity and joy so thank you lovely and hope to see many more from you. x

Hello from Northern California! I just came upon your channel; I am always searching for content that is peaceful and aesthetically pleasing. Today is a day for binge watching, and more rain…epic rains in Northern California recently and Spring is here, but watching this video it calls to my Fall soul, which I have alway gravitated towards Fall and late spring. Thank you, for this lovely video.

Your channel only just now came across my feed, and I am totally subscriber now. We live in Southern California and autumn is just around the corner. For us, the trigger usually is when school starts back up, which just happened at the beginning of this month. Not only do I love your Contant already, but I love hearing the perspective from the other side of the equator. It fascinates me and I love how you said you add a little bit of Autumn spice to your hair. So cute

[@charlesperez9976]

Oh,yes,it is Autumn on your side of the Orb,I always forget about that! Here,springtime is happening the rabbits are acting bonkers and horny😂 The Dandelions will be here soon,I saw a few in a neighbor’s yard,but they poison their property with goodness knows what,so I will wait for my patch to pop up,along with wild strawberries,which,I believe,are deposited by aforementioned horny bunnies! They are small,like raspberries,and not at all sweet or tangy,they seem to just be married to the rain,and their children taste like rain. I love that! In Autumn,around here,the Dandelion greens become noticeably bitter. This is not a bad thing,a different approach to consuming is simply in order. I blanch them in recently boiled water,then add garlic and Turmeric,and eat it on a tomato sandwich,with a bit of butter,which I only allow myself to own in Autumn. I do consume butter at other times,but never inside my home,except in Autumn!
