Hello Enchanted ones! Thankyou so much for joining me today in this Yule DIY's video. It has been so much fun to film and edit this. I truly hope you have a magical yuletide season.
See you next time
All my Love,
Alwyn
How to dry whole oranges:
Leave in warm oven (no more than 80 degrees) For up to 2 days (Don't leave home with the oven on!)
As mine were small they took only 1 day. The cinnamon is OPTIONAL! It makes them look a bit... burnt! Although you may want to stick star anise on them and string them up to go onto your tree.

As an old witch who has been struggling a bit this season - thank you. Seeing the "Old Crone Fairy" and how She showed the strength and endurance of the forest, made me feel so much better.

[@samurai9319]

That's beautiful 💖🌿

The world needs the old witches more than ever right now x keep strong wise one xxx

[@beaeubank3852]

I am also an old witch, yes the struggle is very real for me also. The crone goddess was wonderful. We may have struggles now but the sun is coming back and as it returns our struggles will ease up. Blessings

[@libertyblueskyes2564]

I think we could all learn something profound from holiday rituals; they are the basics of appreciation and devotion to the higher and more playful energy that entertain us, for we must be pale with the realities of life. So let us take the time to be joyful.

[@suneseph]

I'm only 2 days away from this video being 1 year, the essence brings me peace and comfort, I learn english by listening and I enjoy the content, thank you :)

This video made me tear up. The energy coming from this video was incredible. My darling girl you and I are so much alike. I love your videos so much and I feel you and I could be good friends. Whether you see it or not Alwyn, you are a light for some people. Lots of love 🖤🖤🖤

[@foreverautumn63]

What a warm and wonderful video, so safe and cosy. I loved the little bottles as gifts. So perfect! 🥰

[@joannedebnam1239]

Hi Alwny, I just wanted to tell you how much I love your videos and how much they have helped my mental health. Your videos make me feel so safe and at ease and I adore your content. please never stop making your enchanted videos they make me feel so happy and put me into an imaginary world of enchantment. Much love xxx

[@kissedbysun2517]

Thank you for sharing your beliefs, traditions, talents and craft with us. Blessed Yule.

[@junemacauley6813]

I love the little bottles of natural items and intentions. But the Winter Fairy made me feel “ok to be”, as my years in this realm put me in this category. The society in which I live does not seem to value, let alone honor, those of us in this age bracket. Also, I feel inspired to attempt those pomanders with my daughter. ☺️ Thank you for all these ideas. I love your gentle & slower-paced (than many presentations out there, & so many things in modern life) videos.

[@lisacapuletco]

I always feel a surge of inspiration mixed with warm cozy feelings every time I watch your videos but this one was truly a magical gift. Thank you for bringing the spirit of Yuletide into my freezing cold office this morning. You are such a joy.

[@emmar3035]

Love, love, love this. I’ve collected so many pine cones, acorns, moss, sticks, bark, and other unique pieces. NOW I know what to do with my lovelies ❤

[@danieledholm9556]

Im going to walk around Sweden 2 years, starting in mars. Alot of your nature and love for the world is inspired me to see the world like you. I'm an healer and see energy. So I hope that I can find what I'm looking for in myself and the nature.

Thankyou! 🌳💚🌲

[@jessatlife]

Right???!! It literally heals me.

[@Asriazh]

To me winter is a humbling experience. You walk out into the frosty morning and you are very aware of your limitations. You think you can do anything? Try to live inside the frost and snow and the short days. The cold bites your feet and caresses you without permission. The demons of winter's night surround you and about the only thing you can do is to try to find shelter inside your home, trying to keep them away with the warm glow of candlelight. It teaches you about death, even if you dont want to listen. That it will come to everyone. And that the only thing you can do is to be gentle and to acknowledge its presence instead of running away, trying to hide. You can try to live forever, but that won't last. Winter can teach you that. And to be grateful. And humble. And to celebrate life.

[@lindaedwards7840]

Hello Alwyn good to see you fully recovered. Spledid video. Thankyou for the refreshing attitude, Yule is a season to enjoy everything about it small treats and making gifts is so less stressful than the overrated commercial version. Hugs and Blessings for the season of magic and Joy.. 💚🌹🙏

This hair length works so well with your features, oh my gosh. You look stunningly beautiful

[@jennip8585]

I love this so much!! I have a lot of items (napkins, tablecloth, sweaters, wool skirts, scarf) made of that tartan pattern. That's actually my family tartan. 🥰 We also have a tradition of making those pomanders. This is such a homey, amazing video. Thank you so much for sharing!!💞🥰💫🎄🪄🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🍄☕

[@AlwynOak]

Oh no way! That's so cool! Thankyou for sharing and have a wonderful yule 🌲🌳💚☺️

[@karenmoore1561]

My favourite has to be the 'witch bottles' so special and thoughtful

[@helenamartin977]

How special fòr a person here in Canada to hear you talking about the Robin on your winter walķ. The Robin's here have fled our cold winter weather. ( it is a slightly different species of robin). And all your wonderful natural yule crafts especially the old fairie. Your channel and your beautiful English accent are the greatest. Blessed Yule to you.

[@angelafeather1301]

You are truly in touch with your true self and nature. I really enjoy your channel. It takes me into another place of beauty and creativity. I appreciate the hard work and dedication you put into making these videos xxx thank you ❤

[@ginas.6656]

I just adored your tablescape, the runner, napkins and that gorgeous centerpiece with the glass bulbs!💜🌲

[@Rachel-sv9pq]

First of all your hair is adorable. Second of all I love all these beautiful ideas. Got me in the mood for the holidays.

[@evegrace12]

Since we're reaching the end of the year, I want to say that your song, Alwyn's Theme, was in my Spotify Wrapped Playlist this year. I listened to it mostly during the last days of August and the first days of September, so I associate it with the melancholy I feel because Summer is leaving but also the excitement and the warmth I feel in my heart when the nights are getting longer and I can feel the chill in the air meaning Autumn is about to arrive. Your music helps me to relax and daydream, so thank you for uploading on Spotify and KZbin. Also, this year I picked up drawing again thanks to you. My skills are a little rusty but I enjoy it a lot. I really love everything about your Yule decoration this year. It's so cozy and dreamy. I want to try baking oranges with cinnamon just for the smell. I am sure they smelled heavenly. I wish you a happy Yule Alwyn. ❄🎄❤

[@vickienna_games]

Omg I didn't realize she had an album with the music. I immediately went to listen to it and add it to my witchy playlist.

[@Killerkoala091]

I will definitely be working with a pinecone and releasing all that did not serve me, and manifesting my 2023l, on Yule. What a wonderful ritual

[@tracyrupp4882]

I also love the skeletal winter woods. So crisp and lovely, with a blanket of leaves and snow, and the trees showing their textures and lichens. Also, no bugs! As a horticulturist, I like that you prune the trees at a node, instead of just lopping off the branch anywhere. I think I loved the little bottles the best...so cute with the red wax.

[@denisebell3435]

love everything, the crone goddness, the table dressing, the scarf, you make these videos so interesting.

[@eugenebellion9142]

Beautiful video. I have to say my favorite thing was the Winter fairy, she's simply elegant.

[@mandyofmarymac]

I find it very hard to choose. Having grown up on the edge of a wood, we three children would follow my father around, picking up bits and bobs, to decorate the house with at holiday time. So your channel fits right into my world. As I look at my desk, I find the odd ivy leaf, pine cones, sea shells, bits of bark, dried flowers, sand, you name it, it's part of a lovely tableau, which I enjoy every day, which has become my alter, thanks to your inspiration. Have a very happy holiday, dear one. I look forward to more of your charming and interesting videos. xx

[@divinefemininewhisper]

The glass ornaments are my favorite decor, so magical and delicate at the same time, like you.

Magical music, as always, love listening to your music and often do when baking , crocheting and crafting. Please, if possible, can more of your music be put on Spotify? . I've already added your music so far , would love to have a Christmas playlist . X. Ps. Love your rendition of the tune from the film Love Actually ❤️

My favorite was certainly the oranges! As Yule approaches in the coming days I contemplate my ritual evening. This video inspired me to use the natural resources around me, including oranges.

Just watched about 10 of your videos though not being a pagan nor a witch. I enjoyed them all immensely. They are all so calming and they put me into the Christmas spirit that I was missing up until I watched your videos. Please keep them coming. I really needed your warmth right now. Until your next video. Merry Christmas and Happy Yule.

[@albinavildanova3366]

How beautiful you are, I really like your video stories. I also like your winter, it's really magical and inspiring, as if nature just froze for a moment and will wake up soon. We have such a forest only in October. In Russia, the winter forest can be deadly for both people and animals when the temperature drops to 20-30 degrees Celsius, so you don't even want to leave the house...

What a beautiful video. The forest really is magical. We put up our tree early December but wait to bring in Holly,ivy etc to decorate the beams and the altar until the Solstice.
