Happy Samhain! I loved when you caught the leaf to make a wish. My granny, whose mother was from Ireland, used to tell me the same, and as a child, I would spend many an autumn day trying to catch leaves. Although she never claimed to be a witch, I felt she was- there was something very magical about her. She taught me a lot of Appalachian beliefs and magic.

[@AlwynOak]

Hi my love! Oh wow your granny sounds very magical and connected 🧡🍂🎃🥰🍁 she sounds very inspirational! What I admire is, if she wasn't a witch, she was so connected to nature it was like she was past that, just embracing who she was in the purest form! Blesses samhain 🙂🥰🍁🎃🍂🧡

Blessed be my sisters and brothers all over the World.Greetings from German witches.🌑🌛🌕🌜

Blessings from a mage descended from Germans who immigrated to the wilds of North America 300 years ago. They brought their craft with them, and it is still in the family.

[@andrewtongue7084]

As an Irishman, I am pleased that you made the correct pronunciation for this festival night; my Mother would regale we children of all that Samhain encompasses, & even tho' she is now gone, I still recite those stories to my son. Sláinte, agus beannacht 🙂

[@RyanTWhite]

Im new in the pagan religion and I am so excited for this year. This will be my first time practicing Samhain and this helped me so much in understanding what to do and why! Thank you!!

[@LaCocinadera]

What a beautiful video Alwyn! The scene where you hold hands with the tree truly touched my heart ❤️ Thank you so much! 🥰

[@AlwynOak]

Thankyou so much sweet! I think the metaphor is too good not to be missed!

[@georginaw1324]

I love how much you seem to enjoy hosting feasts and gatherings and sharing your gifts with others. It's so pure

[@AlwynOak]

I LOVE hosting so much haha! (That's the monica in me)! I'm a people pleaser hehe! Thankyou so much blessed samhain to you 🍂🍁🎃

[@pamsloan4333]

This was the most beautiful celebration! Since losing so many friends and family members over the last two years, I have wondered how to have a meaningful celebration of their lives. As I remember the great times we shared I will be sure to wear my mom and dad’s wedding rings and an anklet that my brother gave me. The forest that you share is so beautiful and the offerings to wildlife are so important. Thank you for sharing so many lovely ideas and a ritual for letting go to make room for new purpose! Thank you!🥰

[@lindarichie2585]

Catching the leaf 🍁 is so magical ! When I was a child I’d spend hours catching leaves and examine their beauty! The colors and veins running through were amazing to me ! Still r to this day ! Connection to nature is key to all ! Blessed be ! 🍁🍁🍁🍁

[@LavenderHazelwood]

Yes, I love graveyards for the peace they offer too

I really loved the little fairy pumpkin house, divination with a leaf and when you tried catching fallen leaves! Your outfits are adorable as always too!! Blessed Samhain!

[@JuliandratheGreat]

There is nothing sad about this beautiful, magickal video - but here I am shedding tears. You stir up so much for us viewers. Thank you as always, dear. 💚🖤💚

[@skyedelamey]

I loved the conversation starters at the dinner party, the history of the costumes at halloween, and being kind to animals...really all of it, thank u

[@Amyavalon1844]

My favorite part was the letting go ceremony. Loved your pumpkin bread idea too. Much love to you dear SiStar!

Thankyou so much Sianna

I was born on the 31st of october and i am starting my practice from this year's samhain. I am so excited❤🎉

[@ivymoonstone8080]

Your videos are so pretty and relaxing to watch! Here in Appalachia, I see our Decoration Day custom originating from the old Celtic tradition. We have family cemeteries and once a year descendants will gather to clean and maintain the graves, place flowers, hold a church service, talk about family genealogy, and then have a potluck dinner with some traditional music and singing. My daughter and I giggled when you showed us the little squirrel 🐿 enjoying your offerings. So cute! I’m 38yrs old and STILL haven’t carved a pumpkin in my life! I buy them to decorate with but haven’t ever carved them...and I don’t know why. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 Perhaps this is the year! 🦇🍁🐿🍂🎃🧙🏻‍♀️🕯⚰️🔮 Happy Samhain to you!

[@candysbroomcloset]

“Like the trees, I too, can let go” Such wonderful content, a treat to watch! Thank you💕😸👍

[@AlwynOak]

Thankyou so much sweet - such a simple metaphor that can teach us SO much! Blessed samhain 🥰🧡🎃🍁🍂

[@DollyKauionalani]

I love this!! I have a particular old tree that I feel drawn to, on the path that I hike. He's an old mighty red oak, and you can feel his energy all around! He's the guardian of that sacred land, I believe, as it has ancient Native American roots. I plan on asking him for permission to take some of his leaves next time I go! I have a lot of things that I need to let go of that no longer serve me. Thank you for this.

[@Allysunmoonstar]

I got behind watching your videos because we rescued a litter of 4 four week old kittens and have been quite busy! They are now almost 8 weeks and Charlie watched this whole video with me! I think he loves your voice and looking at the candle flames! The other 3 are Theodore, Henry & Henrietta.

[@astrea9279]

As usual I am amazed by the effort you put into your works and by the passion you manage to convey thru everything: ideas, crafts, music, photography, aesthetic. I hope that your channel gives you the same beautiful energy gives us. Happy Samhain! 💛

[@bespoke6719]

Graveyards are my absolute favorite place to be. Over anything else...

[@wendyt8341]

Beautifully filmed again. Thank you for transporting me to a calm place. Happy SamHain everyone. Love the hand hold with the tree, very touching and loving. Sending healing vibes to the world. Blessed be. X

[@SilviaCollmann]

Just for an additional information: black does not really block negative engergy - it takes all the energy that is around in. That´s why wearing it on occasions of grief like a funeral, is not a very beneficial thing. White clothes on the other hand reflect the energy of others back. So if you want to commune with the spirits and nature all around on Samhain, black might be a great colour to wear. All the other colours are in between forms of reflection and taking things in. Thank you for your videos Alwyn. I learn a lot from you in many ways 💛

[@dindranew.6808]

I love that "letting go" ritual with a fallen leaf.

[@AlwynOak]

Thankyou so much sweet 🧡🥰🍁

[@nikimc94]

I love the letting go and burning w the black candle. It spoke to me the most!

[@kirstencorby8465]

Great video, Alwyn, Blessed Samhain to you. We can also write our petitions or banishings on leaves and burn them. I miss living in a climate that has four real seasons.

[@josephwarra5043]

Another nice video, an intriguing mix of modern and antique, nice presentation and good editing, thanks for posting.

[@olgierdogden4742]

Lovely video. You really summed up the changes that have gone before and will come to those who are listening. And graveyards are indeed a good place to recharge and reflect.

[@snicket9409]

My favorite was the cute little pumpkin fairy houses. My mom loves fairies and she asked me today how she should carve her little pumpkins I am going to show her this. Great idea. That bread also looks amazing.

[@AlwynOak]

Aww thats so sweet!! Yes the fairies need to be looked after during the winter months because it's so barren outside they are forgotten about!! Have a blessed samhain 🍁🥰🍂
