A Cosy October Evening with a Forest Witch 🥮🧡 

I just wanted to say I feel like you talk to us like we're your friends and it's really comforting during some of these tough times. Thank you for being your magical self and sharing with us!

Autumn in your world is beyond magical, Alwyn! I loved everything about this!!

My daughter Daisy and I love fungi also. Infact she has just started a Biology degree at Oxford University and plans to be a fungi specialist. Blessings from our tiny stone cottage in Wales x

Hello beautiful soul ❤ I would like to say Alwyn you have comforted my mum & I through a very very sad few wks ... my dad passed away on the 4th October this year ! My mum & I are mourning & have so much grief ... I decided one evening this week to put your videos on for mum & I to watch at night as we can't sleep ... You have soothed us and my mum just loves watching you ❤you lift our spirits Alwyn thank you 🙏🏼 thank you 🙏🏼 so so much for you and your magikal soul and videos !♥️🌹🍀🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️ Blessings beautiful soul ❤

The perfect way to end the day is watching your video. 🧡🍁

I bought that country diary several years ago because I found the art beautiful. Every time I read it I think of you Alwyn, because you are so similar to the lady who wrote the diary. You're a wonderful artist and you love animals and plants, you have a wonderful sense of style. Have a lovely evening Alwyn. Ty the bonsai guy. 😁👍🤍🍁🍂🎃

I'm glad I'm not the only one who constantly calls my cat a beautiful baby 50 times in a row!

Merry Samhain! ✨ May the Earth and animals, and kind folk be Blessed! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

This was the happiness I needed to start my day off today! It's always like stepping into a little magickal bubble for a few minutes every time I watch your videos. I'm trying to get a night and self care routine going myself. I'm 43, and just learning so late in life that not only is it okay, but it is absolutely essential to love and take the time to care for yourself!

A savory pumpkin tart 😊 it’s a new concept for me. I think I’ll try it with butternut squash.

Thank you for these videos !! You are showing the real beauty in life, the harmony and peace, that most people miss in their hectic pace. Soooo lovely to watch you !!! Blessings !!! 🧡🧡💜💐

I caught sight of one of your necklaces and, as a fellow Water-bearer, I applaud the way you scatter magic and enchantment everywhere you are! Just like one of the faeries!

I'm usually not that much of a grape juice person. But having it warmed up with spices sounds pretty nice and calming. And I definitely need that right now, cause there's only so many warm drinks I can have before bed (and I can only do camomile tea, lavender tea with cinnamon, and warm milk and honey so many times).

I loved this video and your others also. They do feel magical/ enchanting. For me, they're very soothing, healing and educational! Thank you for sharing your magical, charming self with us all! ❤🙏🏾💯

I quite enjoyed watching you share your home, your wonderful kitchen, and I think I may have seen a little more of Alwyn Oak today, as you shared with us your little oopsies as well as your successes. You are one of the witches I come to see when I need to feel warm and cozy in my craft. Thanks for all you do, Alwyn.

Oh! So many fly agarics! Thank you for taking us with you again. Your forest is so magical! I took a photo walk for mushroom photos in the forest near me on monday. There was only one fly agaric and it was big, but battered and faded into orange. But I was so happy that I found one. I also adored the little bright mushrooms that grew up on the trees there. Everything felt so alive and it got me inspired!

'Round these parts, you say "pumpkin pie" and you're immediately understood to be talking about a sweet dessert pie... so when you first took out the red onion I was surprised. Now I'm thinking that if I ever manage to get the time, I'm going to try making one like yours! Also, my niece began to play the flute in school about 3 years ago. We started her out with a nice but definitely inexpensive instrument from Amazon, but late last year it began to just not work right. Since she wants to continue with the flute at least through high school (another 4+ years at this point), my sister bought her a much more expensive instrument based on the recommendation of a friend who's also a music teacher. The difference in the tone & clarity of the sound is astonishing -- and my niece has commented that it's actually easier to learn & play more complex music on the more expensive instrument. Something to keep in mind... :-)

This is hilarious. Earlier, I brought in a little wooden mushroom ornament to decorate my tree with. I went to put it up, but it felt as if it wanted to be right in the center in front of my tv. I grabbed my phone later & felt drawn to click on this video, not even reading the name or description. I think my little wooden mushroom really wanted to watch the amanita muscaria hunt. 😆

I've only just discovered your channel about a week or so ago. Watching your videos makes me feel like I'm stepping out of the harsh realities of life and I'm invited to tiptoe into your magical world. Thank you for inspiring me and making me realise I need to reconnect with nature 🍂🍁🐇🐀🍄

What an absolutely enchanted time dear Sweet Alwyn. This was the perfect night to watch this. We all curled up on our new giant couch, with cider and donuts, while we enjoyed the perfectly autumnal video. We decorated for the season, after a beautiful drive through the country to see the amazing colors of the trees. This was the perfect way to end the day. Thank you for your lovely presence in our lives. So much love and light to you and the other enchanted ones 💖🕯🍂🍁🌲🍄

I’m already so relaxed, I needed this thank you so much!!!!! ❤️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♂️🌲🌳

Really enjoyed this video, it was enchanting and also very real. I've never seen so many mushrooms your are so lucky to have such a magical woods nearby. Blessings xx

Aaaa I love the country diary of the edwardian lady! It's so beautiful, and I got my copy recently, because I kept taking my mum's! I love how cosy and simple your routine is, and the shroomies are simply amazing 🍄

So happy to find you on this Samhain eve! I’ve been a solitary practitioner for over 50 years and I’m so happy to find you and your “family” here!! I wasn’t really looking but I’ve always longed to have others to talk to about the craft! You are exactly what I needed. I look forward to seeing your magickal videos, much love and light to you and this family!! I awoke in the middle of the night unexpectedly and thought I’d look up Samhain celebration videos, it long being after the witching hour tonight…. (2:15am) I’m just elated to find your account!! Only to have partly watched this video, but I know I’m loving it already! I never dreamt I’d find magical sweethearts like yourself. Just a huge thank you!!! Sorry for the huge type o’s, I have some nerve disorders so it’s hard for me to type. But I’m 65 and from Oregon. Like I said, I’m very grateful. Never thought I’d be writing out in the open about my way of life. I have studied lots of religions but have always returned to my pagan roots. Just a big hello to you and your subscribers, still is so different opening up. Hope that’s ok, also hope to be watching lots more of your insightful videos… Belphoebe aka Cindy 💋💋💋💋⭐️

I've never imagined putting these ingredients in a pumpkin pie but I'm excited to give it a try! And the grape juice with cinnamon sounds delicious!! Can't wait for my me time next weekend! 🍂🍄🎃

This was sooo cozy to watch! I also find myself telling my cat about 20 times a day how gorgeous she is and I’m glad to see other people feel compelled to do this, too!

ive loved seeing the toadstools on my dog walks, even found fairy rings. i love how you make it all magical xx

I so love visiting your world. You are creating a new and special place through your art. It’s like being there while a famous author writes a book. A book that is becoming familiar as the wheel turns again. I made that mulled red grape juice last year. I have fairies and other crafts we all made together to put out again. I hope you know how loved you are.

Thank you for the walk in the woods and the coziest time in your home. I am also hooked on Gilmore, Girls and own all the DVDS. I am intrigued by the savory pumpkin pie and intend to try it! 🥰💚🍁🍂🥧 getting cold here in Michigan and expecting our first Snow flakes! Blessed Be.

This was absolutely awesome to watch. Thank you for sharing and for making me realize that true magick is the one you purposely make and manifest throughout your day by doing all the lovely little things. I really really loved this video. 🍁❤️🎃

Alwyn I want to thank you immensely for your creative talent in putting these videos together for us and giving us a magical look through your eyes. I know creating these videos takes a lot of work to magic them look so seamless and magical. Your videos bring me so much extra joy and whimsy, just what I have in my own life 🥰 Big hugs to you!! 💚 Samantha (who you know as S.O. Natural Skin Creations when I comment on your social media posts ☺️)

Somehow I missed this video when you posted it (the past couple of months have been chaotic). So glad I stumbled upon it this evening. Discovering toadstools with you & then spending a quiet evening was just the peace & calm I needed. Thank you!

Beautiful time. Thank you. In recovery mode, and this helped me feel calm and that I need to continue enjoying the woods, self care, quiet, moving gently n slowly through day and concentrate on ambience. Thank you!

It’s so nice of you to share some of your personal life with us, especially the bedtime. I’ve been trying to cut back on tech time, and now I feel more encouraged. I love journaling. I haven’t done it in so long; perhaps cutting tech and taking up pen and a new journal will help. I noticed how at the end, when you “reviewed” activities, such as the pie & such, it was like journaling, going over the events of the day. I find that so calming. And I loved the ending w/Charlie going to sleep, too. And the calming darkness before the bloopers, especially because it gave time before RU-vid jumps in with those annoying thumbnails of what’s next. Baby voices w/our pets is what they do to us- no pardon necessary! Take a look around 4:37 - the pillow behind you makes it look like you have pointy elf ears, especially on the left side (your right side)! 😂 This whole video is inspiring and calming; thank you! (from Florida, where it doesn’t feel like Autumn or Samhain, but I’m putting up a little decor, anyway 😉)

Rewatching your October videos, Im a mushroom 🍄 girl too. Its been so dry here in Tennessee….very little rain for 2 months…watering my backyard for the lil shrooms to grow. This week its warming up again to the high 70’s (F) 😢You have inspired me to paint lil mushrooms. 😃 Enjoy Love seeing your natural beauty, makeup free. ✨

✨✨Those red and white mushrooms are beautiful. I’ve always wanted to see one in person! where you live is truly a magical place!!✨✨🧚🏻‍♂️🧚🏻‍♂️

The red toadstools are one of my very favourite creations of nature: they mesmerise me 😊

Your video editing is simply superb, especially your cooking segments. Wonderfully tempting kitchen!

I really loved the vibe and style of this video! I wish that we had those mushrooms where I live, I've never seen them, I don't know that they grow here. Usually it's just like brown and white mushrooms. I really enjoyed this, it felt like you were talking to friends! I think it's cool that you picked up the flute - I played flute and clarinet in elementary and middle school as well as the piano so it's funny that you went woodwind too! Charlie said "mom, there are never enough pets, excuse you!" This was so cozy and peaceful, thank you!

Love it 🥰 Love it ALL !! 🧡🍂🍁 … especially your bedtime rituals. I need to do something like that to get in a night time frame of mind for sleep. 🛌

Oh thank you so much for a very special walk in the forest x a magical video full of fairyness 🍂🍁🌲 blessed be x

Thank you so much for your videos and music. You're amazing! Since I discovered your music I fall asleep to it each night and I sleep so good! You've inspired me to get out into nature and find the magic in life once again. Love to you!

Wow with that Showing from Forrest i feel so magical again all this Fairey homes. Your recept Is awesome and i Love your Lights in kitchen 😍

What a wonderful video! Your mushroom walk in the woods, the cozy ambience of your home, your delicious dinner, your new piano piece, and your music on the flute! All just delightful. I'm going to make the savory pumpkin pie. Thank you!

Okay, so I made the pumpkin pie/tart tonight for family dinner. Everyone loved it! I've never had savory pumpkin pie and this was just great. Thank you for sharing.

So Cosy and a perfect October scene. My husband has a leaf blower now as in the village where we are ,we must keep them cleaned up, But it is a job and a half. We have several trees as do our neighbors. Lovely though to see all the colorful leaves. You have beautiful flowers yet out! My Roses were still trying to bloom this year and it is so unusual in October. I never cut flowers much , as feel I am killing them too early, but decided I should at this time, as think it may have a freeze soon * (Even though it has been just so perfect outside) but do not not want to loose them. Can save them, I think?. They bloomed more when brough inside and placed overnight in water, and now will need to spray them and keep them with the rose buds in a dish i have on the smaller table in dining room. Your Chipmunk is the cutest. The decorating inside and out is absolutely so perfect! Love the sound of the birds. Baked goods and aroma this time of year and the memory of pickling , stays in my mind. I used to Can pickles myself.*Do them in smaller amounts as it is just the two of us now, and this year just had hip surgery and it wil take time to heal, so not getting much done right now) Zuchinni Squash Pickles as well as Bread and Butte and Dill. are mostly waht I make. Did not do Kosher, but do love them! The aroma is unbeleivable. Vinager is good for us as well. Have wanted to make 'Water Melon Rind Pickles' and they are very hard to find, but they are so fantastic. Now they are very sweet too, so if you do not like sticky and sweet anything with sices in it, then it would not be for you. Grandma made these as well. * Your cottage I think has Cedar Shakes on it , and we absolutely love that look! You have done so much with your little cottage and so much love has gone into it and I really think that your home and the whole area is very happy to have you living there! We all love you being on You Tube as well! Thank you! You put so much into making your vlogs!

This was a perfect video Alwyn, thank you. I didn't watch your videos for some time now, I didn't really feel any magic in my life for a long time, but this time of year always makes me feel enchanted and happy, and this video showed me just how magical it can be, and made me really happy. Thank you for bringing magic, even in the simplest of forms, into our lives.

I love your lifestyle! It's how I inspire to be! I agree, less screen time would do wonders for everyone! I love the witchy things you do & styles that you have! 😁 (I'm also tempted to try that pumpkin pie! 😋🎃). Thank you for another beautiful video! I'm going to try some of these craft ideas 😁

Thank you, Alwyn for this lovely video. It made me feel enchanted. I loved being a part of this cosy evening. Hugs from Arizona, Pamela

My backyard is littered with autumn leaves. I say "it's leafing" when I see a bunch of them get blown from the trees in a nice autumn breeze.

Its funny hearing your voice when you‘re not talking into the microphone. It sounds a bit child-like at times and I love that! Blessed be :))

A flute is so perfect to summon fairies!

I love Good Witch ❤ always watch it when I need cozy feels 😊

What a wonderful time I spent with you. Those mushrooms are so colorful. Your pie looked so good. I have a black cat which his name is Salem. I too like the Good Witch and I too play the flute, piano and guitar. The craziest thing is I too am an Aquarian. Take care little one. 😉😊

Charlie’s is beautiful!! I love this simple, quiet afternoon and evening of the small joys of Autumn. So lovely! My daughter has the same cat light; she’s 25 and a violinist. 😻

I live in a very hot, arid and dry place. I'd love to walk with you in that beautiful forest just once. It looks so calming and like it smells so good. You are truly blessed. You've even inspired me to create a book of shadows of sorts myself! Thank you for your lovely videos.

I absolutely adore your home it is simply stunning and such a calm relaxing vibe I totaly love your style I'm going to try put the pumpkin pie I myself love a savoury dish and I love to bake also I do love to warm threw different non alcoholic drinks I love a warm orange juice with manuka honey or with some squeezed lemmon I'm so going to enjoy watching your channel I can feel it and I totaly agree with you on having no phone time I myself love to relax with a hobby that I enjoy with out any technology absolutely wonderful beautiful way to live Xxxxx🥰🍁simply stunning

I really like the lovely Fly Agaric painting- and the idea of framing the leaves

Beautiful and inspiring for when the autumn comes☺🌺🧡

This is the last video of the day and now I can go to sleep feeling enchanted 🍁🍂❤️🎃

A lovely example that your life can be what you decide to make it. Finding magic in the moment.

My aunt was an excellent flutiest. She got into collage on a flute scholarship. It's a shame she didn't persue that further. She eventually got a job in Houston Texas with Aramco as an oil analyst and did that for years. I don't know if she ever picked up the flute again. Sadly she died ten years ago but I remembered she played the flute

You played the song from Practical Magic! I love it! I'm not musical, but I did play flute in high school for a couple of years. Getting your breathing right is tough! I'm not sure I ever did... ha ha! I really enjoyed that walk through the woods and seeing the mushrooms! 🍄🍁

Hello,what beautiful muscarias,I see so many in the woods,they give me a sense of magic. I also have a cat of the same kind, in all I am a 20.Nice video👍👏👋

My bday is tomorrow and I've been really low, this video was like a life vest. Thank you for the walk in the woods and showing us those beautiful mushrooms🍄 might go look for mushies I've been putting it off all season

It almost feels like having a surprise party bumping into one of these dramatically colored fly agarics! 😅 I still remember it like yesterday, but it was 4 yrs ago, when they just stood there on the sunny hillside, and the family now only knows it as the place where we found the fly mushrooms. ^^ Your videos these last few days really inspire me to make the most of this beautiful autumn.

I feel that the birds, the wild animals and the plants are far more real, alive and meaningful than most people in these times. Maybe it's Mother Nature, calling for us to come home.🌱🌿🪺🪴 Let us all keep our precious innocence like you, Dear! 🤗

Greetings Alwyn.. I so look forward to your videos... They are so calming & relaxing.. and all of your recipes look so yummy... Looking forward to the next one.. Thanks for sharing...

Charlie's face when he wanted more strokes... 😻🤣 I love this whole video Alwyn, I watched it at work last night when I was on my break and so stressed out. It really helped me to travel to a different place of colour and joy 🍄🍄🍄 And I have two of those cat lights, I adore them. Thanks for all the beautiful Autumn magic vids 🧡🍁💗

These bedtime and morning routine vids really help me sort out my thoughts and start new ways of bettering my routines. Thank you! Love and light

dear Alwyn, i'm so glad i found your channel. I watched almost all the videos and was simply fascinated by you and your vision of the world. It's like I have a new magical friend and that's you. With all love Alexandra from Belarus. happy samhain 💚✨🤗 ps sorry for my terrible english

Those toadstools were amazing! They are really beautiful.

These toadstools are so nifty! Never seen any like them before. Ty for sharing this sweet video! 🍄 ❤

How sweet that the kittie prefers love over food.

It’s really rainy today in The Netherlands!! Looking at your video I really miss being able to just get up ( am in a wheelchair) and go to a forest!

What a cozy video, thank you! I will absolutely try the savory pumpkin pie recipe, looks delicious!

please do a video on where you buy you’re kitchen things and room makeover things !

Such a perfect video for a cold rainy day here in New Mexico...thank you!

I cant wait to watch this later xxx🌛🌑🌜

Hello Alwyn, I am a new viewer and am binging on your videos. Last night this is the one I watched and today I started fussy cutting pictures for my junk journaling...the first piece out of the stack was of these toadstools!! I had never heard of them and thanks to you I knew all about it! Thank you for sharing your enchantedness!!

Absolutely love this! So relaxing and cosy! Charlie is so sweet too! 😊🧡

I love seeing you make a pumpkin pie 🥧 for this season so lovely

I loved that this felt really personal to you and thank you for sharing even the new things or hobbies you've been doing, also the bloopers. I am manifesting to have my own home someday in which I can do different themes in line with the season or anything that I feel -- your own world that I can express who I really am surrounded with art and magic. Thank you so much for once again, truly wonderful video, Alwyn. Love, light, and healing

I am so glad that I found your channel. I love your energy and I know your videos will inspire me and sooth me as well. Thank you Alwyn.

Such a beautiful and warm vlog Alwyn, I feel like your videos are a therapy session for me! I’m always managing my stress load and anxieties so your rituals help so much…plus the gorgeous music of yours playing in the background!

Love the vid, those red mushroom 🍄 are so cute, what a beautiful place glad you take full advantage, pie looked delish , Charlie is a cute 🐈‍⬛, your flute is coming along, thanks Alwyn for sharing!!!

Mushrooms have been absolutely amazing this year! Thanks for sharing! ❤️🤗🍁🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

Love the magic you create. ✨💫

What a beautiful video Alwyn, one of my favourites: nature discoveries, recipes, music, crafts, night routines, Charlie and of course Autumn! Thank you very much for sharing it with us 🍄🧡🍁🥧🍂

this video and a warm cup of tea its so lovely

Serendipity is such a welcomed thing! Mushrooms have been 'popping up' lately. You're absolute and genuine joy in discovery of the toadstools, is lovely. Your magical forest and personality always set such a peaceful tone. Thank you!

I was journaling and started the page including photos of toadstools …this gave me some ideas for inspirational words 🍄

So far my favorite mushroom 🍄. Child, you are soooooo lucky. If prepared properly, they can be a lovely magic mushroom experience. Great for treating anxiety and depression. Keep that place a special secret.

The mushrooms 🍄 are awesome. Thank you for sharing your day with us.

You are so very talented Alwyn! This is a lovely video, with the beautiful Autumn woods, the fairy toadstools, and I love your beautiful cat. Your pumpkin pie looks so delicious. Blessings to you and the ones you love, from Devon, England. xxx

Alwyn thank you for sharing. Autumn is a very special season. My local heath is an abundance of mushrooms too. Many blessing.💜💛🍁🍂🍄🌰

I only had a chance to make your pumpkin pie recipe once last year before all pie pumpkins were gone from the stores--I am happy to say they are FINALLY back and I grabbed two of these to make some right away! Thank you so much for introducing savory pumpkin pie into my life. It's so special!

Such a beautiful relaxing video with a view into your life. You have such a calming voice and I was really interested in how you made your pumpkin pie. So different than how we make it. It never occurred to me to make it as a dinner pie rather than dessert. I will be trying this it looked so yummy.

Autumn is all but over with here in Alaska. And winter is fast approaching. The leaves are all off the trees and most of the mushrooms are dead. But I did find a neat one the other day! I loved your magical Autumn day so much! I should try and make my own Pumpkin puree sometime! We have done it before!

What a lovely walk and great vidio!🍄🍁🌰
