Hello Enchanted ones,
The sun is male and the moon is female - yes I know I mixed it up 😅 I am only human after all
Welcome back! I had a few weeks break just to ground myself and balance after a few crazy videos last month! So, I am back and here with this Altar tour and idea video - which I truly hope you enjoy! I have had this altar for one year but I truly believe that if you’d like to create an altar to honour your craft and practice at - your altar can be anything you’d like it to be! This altar does not follow any particular type of witchcraft so if you’d like to learn more about specific types of altars e.g., Wiccan. There are tons of great videos on CZcams. With saying that - I believe if you surround yourself with the things you love, your intention will be purer than ever! Self Expression is amazing!
Anyway, hope you enjoy it
All my Love
Alwyn

*the Sun is mascaline 🌞 and the moon is feminine 🌙
In Norse Paganism, it's the opposite- the sun is the goddess Sunna and moon is her brother Mani 😊
Yup, the moon is a lady 🌙
You are the only other person I know of that keeps random tiny things from nature, from your past and childhood... Now i know what i can do with them :)
Doing this as a child are the first signs of a witchy proclivity. It's a sign
I also have a shelf of random things from nature that have followed me home over the years . It basically serves as my alter.
I collect random feathers and nick-knacks I find in nature
It's far more common than you know, especially among us gen z, we still keep sticks hidden in our homes everywhere
My husband said he’s sick of all the rocks and twigs and acorns piling up
The way you lovingly placed your childhood photo in a shrine of self-love elements actually brought tears to my eyes, it's so sweet. So many of us have inner child wounds we're tending and that's just such a lovely way to be reminded to reach back and say to your younger self, I see you, I love you, you are worthy. I am grateful for the inspiration 💛 (also I lol'ed at the halloumi crystal 😂) Thank you for sharing all your creative ideas!
Beautiful beautiful soul! 🥰
Awww eee thankyou so much lovely 😊💚✨🤗
Just realised I spelt Alter with an E!! Alexa has failed me!!
"ALEXA! Get your coat. You're leaving!" Very timely and as always appreciated video Miss Oak ❤️
Hahaha yes I'm going to throw her out the window! How dare she?! I was so confident too... But when I uploaded it I was like... Hang on that doesn't look right 😅😂🙈🙈
@@AlwynOak hahaha my own personal shame is that I did not notice despite being an irritable grammar grump. This is possibly my first ever comment on your channel. I don't make comments a habit but I am the silent majority who are forever grateful for your sharing of our ways as well as your presence on our dear green place. Thank you and blessed be.
Ohh thankyou so much that truly warned my heart! I am so grateful for you being here 💚💚💚 lots of love and have a great weekend 🌲💚✨
@@AlwynOak And you beautiful lady. Love in abundance ❤️🧡💛
I really loved watching the evolution of your altar, because mine started in a similar place. It was just a little shoebox in the bottom drawer of my dresser with tealights and other little magical bits and bobs that I had as a teenager, and now, in my twenties, it's a whole setup with a table and storage shelves to the side along the majority of one of the walls in my living room, full of all the books, tools, crystals, and herbs I've accumulated over the years. Oh, and a million candles, of course, lol.
Boxes to start from, yes))))
Thank you for sharing your video I haven't started an alter one reason is my fiance doesn't agree with anything to do with a witch also I'm a baby as well I don't know if I'm a witch or not .
I have many altars in my cottage in the forest. I love them as they represent my path and bring me joy as well as being a part of my craft. Like you I’m always collecting bits from the forest. I just can’t throw any of it out. I have many nature bowls on tables, altars etc too. Blessings to you 💚
Ohh I am glad I am not the only one! Memories are so precious aren't they?! It's so difficult saying goodbye to them 😍☀️✨🤗 actually last Christmas I said goodbye to alot of my items I collected when I decorated a fir tree in my favourite place in the woods - a lovely memory and also a fun yule tradition!! Lots of love and have a lovely weekend 🤗✨💚
How does it not get disturbed? Whether nature, wind, animals, other humans, etc.
your channel is literally my safe place
I am so glad sweet!! Thankyou so much for being here 💚⭐🤗✨☀️
Love 😍 it so much
This always makes me think about how my altar has changed over the years. When I realized an alter could look however I wanted and only needed some key materials I turned it into a fish tank. It is absolutely amazing to me.
A fish tank??? That's awesome dude
You always do everything with a purpose my sweet Alwyn. I know we spoke of how when were children and how we are still a child inside. Love your picture of you as a little girl. Thank you for allowing us to appreciate more of you and see more of how you are on the inside and your respect and love of nature. I love the pencil sharpener lol. It’s adorbsicles!!!You’re just precious. Much love your way 💚
Ohh thankyou so much sweet I am so glad you enjoyed it! I really love how you are loving me being more open and the truth is you are giving me the confidence to be more confident so thankyou so much! Can't wait to share more and more!! Yes I LOOOOVE honouring my inner child! Glad you liked the pic on the tutu - I was never good at ballet... I literally ran around like a little fairy instead of doing what I was told!!! Much like what I do now actually
😂😂😂💚💚💚✨ Lots of love and thanks agian
I LOVE how you hand stamp the tittle on paper 💕💕💕💕
Aww thankyou so much! There's no font that can truly sum up what I want so I needed stamps! 😊💚
@@AlwynOak Yes absolutly!
I am late but OMG, this video is awesome! You are indeed a fairy from another realm. Everything you teach us is so real and deep. I feel everything you say. You are so rare and one of the kindest souls under our sun. Thank you very very much, nature fairy Alwyn! 🌱🌳💚
Ohhh wow thankyou so much for such beautiful words 😭🤗✨💚 I am truly humbled!!! I love collecting things that have a meaning otherwise I think... Why are YOU there 😂😂 but if I don't like the look of something I'll ALWAYS give it a bit of a diy to make it Alwyn approved 😂 lots of love
I keep my altar items in a box with a large cloth, candles, incense, wand etc and when I'm doing spells I lay the cloth on the floor and place all my items on top. I like keeping my items away so they don't pick up everyday energy. Beautiful video btw 🌕💖
When you were showing all your forest finds memories I couldn't help but think you're a forest fairy 🧚♀️☺ I loved this video and all your content, very inspiring plus your voice is so soothing ✨
Ohh thankyou so much!! Hehe that's so sweet! I just LOVE collecting things from all my favorite places! I just want to fill the cupboard up with them 😂 lots of love to you!! 😭✨💚
I think that your crescent moon could also look like a unicorn hoof! ♡
Omg yes love that!!! 🦄🧚🏻♂️✨
I have a pine cone that I found at my grandparents house. That was 46 years ago. Sometimes I play with it just as I did when I was little. Memories.
Love the idea of keeping your altar in a bureau... seeing your video makes me feel much better about the seemingly random nature items I cling to. Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏
I like your Crystals , it's more beneficial to store your crystals in the open
rather than in a cabinet as it blocks the healing frequencies .
Indigo Gabbro , Smokey Quartz & Black Tourmaline are useful .
You are very lucky to have such a divine personality .
I seriously love love love this. I swear I have met my mental doppelganger.
I have vases of sticks, leaves dried out, things I just cannot part with because nature allowed me to find them when I was supposed to...
I am so happy I have come across your channel ❤🌞🙏
I adore your aesthetic, so magical and dreamy. Great video as usual! I love working with found objects or things I've crafted too and I always get inspiration from your videos 😊
Thankyou so much Mulan! Glad you enjoyed it. I was thinking a few weeks ago.. Why haven't I done an altar video yet?! 😂 Glad you like working with found objects! Amazing how nature can give and its all free!!! Have a great weekend 💚🤗✨
My partner is always poking around in my alters.
The other day I found she was using my magic candle in the loo while she was using it!
After a few talks I’ve noticed her being more intentional but not understanding any boundaries.
I had a dream of this all before it happened. In the dream she was trying to take out a magic dried flower from my pendant.
I’m still in the broom closet and I understand the desire for privacy around your alters
I love the background music for this video. Very beautiful and relaxing.
I absolutely LOVE your altar! I’ve always been drawn to the woods/forest and feel most comfortable there. You have such a sweet energy about you and I love to watch your videos
Thankyou so much Elizabeth that is sooo kind!! Im so glad you enjoy watching my videos
Your way of living is beyond serene. You are such a beautiful, free soul.
Love The tree nd how u change it seasonlly. I m a 60 year.old Newbie to this Pagan way of life. It Fits me being a Nature and Shroom fiend 😆
Your Altar is so beautiful, love the healing shrine for your inner child 🥰💚
Baby witch here! Your Alter is amazing. I love how unique, thoughtful and personal it is to you in which i feel it should be, this helps me so much as sort of a guide as I'm starting my own Alter. Thanks for this.
I love your altar. Those dried flowers do look like fairy wings💖🧚♀️🧚♂️
Thankyou Tanya!! I know they are amazing!! Nature can be so beautiful alive or dead!
It’s so strange, the moment I saw your room I became so overwhelmed and brought to tears ❤️ your space is beautiful, I’m so inspired
What a gorgeous alter and I love all of the meaning behind every little thing.
Love this! I’m so inspired by the items you find in nature. Something so small and insignificant can really be sacred to us. 🌿💚
Hi Gabrielle I'm so glad you like them! Yes, my mum was going to just throw the dried hydrangeas away but I stopped her in her path and looked at them and just melted 😍😍 now I use them as flowers all over my home and they will never look old and dreary as they are already dead! Haha! Lots of love 💚😊🤗
@@AlwynOak 👍🌿💚
I love your alter and how it reflects your mind and soul. I love all your bits from nature. I have wooden bowls and containers all over the house holding things I find on walks and hikes.
So generous of you to share so much 💖
Our childhood boxes are so similar and they bring so much comfort and joy 💛 I love your videos so much x
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! 💚 omg, its so inspiring and your voice is very calm! I already wrote this to you before :D but.. thank you for each of video, because i love watching your videos. Its nice to see that someone like you is open to share crafts and altar and things like that. Big thank you! 💚💚💚
Thankyou so much sweet!!! Awww I'm so glad you enjoyed this video and all the videos it fills me with warmth!! Hehe! Yes it's comments like yours that make me feel more and more confident to show and share so thankyou so much! Have a truly magical weekend 😊💚✨🤗
Thank you for showing your alter progression! This definitely takes the pressure/shame/imposter feelings off this practice ❤
I was given a stone by my niece that looked like a mountain like mount fuji. I have it to this day and i found im drawn to it 😊
What a collection of lovely things! Most of my items are kept within a box since I don’t want to explain everything to my husband and child, but I do have a triple goddess statue, some candles and an incense burner set up on a shelf on a more permanent basis. It’s pretty low-key, but I’m also kind of a minimalist. I like looking at everyone else’s though!
Love this sounds lovely and yes it's great to know that you do your own thing to suit yourself and what you are comfortable with 😍😍 yes I used to keep everything in my box for the very same reason!! Lots of love 💚😊💚
I have no words for this... this warmed my soul. Thank you Alwyn x
I loved this video. I have a cabinet of all my childhood memories and things from my parents and grandparents which i go to when i need cheering up. I also have a few wooden boxes my dad made and you have inspired me to use and fill them with things i have collected..shells, sticks etc.
Thankyou🙏
I have a possible suggestion for the bits and bobs and other dried plants... maybe get a large glass bowl/bottle/terrarium with a lid to put them in in a pretty arrangement as both decor and part of the altar/above the altar. Just a thought that came to me while watching.
A beautiful video 🌺 Thank you for sharing 🌹 I can't remember what my life was like before I found your inspiring and uplifting channel ❤
Hi Ashleigh that is so lovely thankyou so much!!! Haha i honestly cant remember what life was life before i started creating videos - it's one of the best things i have ever done!! Lots of love
I laughed out loud at the halloumi cheese rock 😂 I also have a collection of random shells and rocks that reminded me of certain things
😂😂 Thanks hehe!! I was worried as I thougut it sounded like I was taking the mick haha but honestly that is what drew me to the rock 😂😂⭐☀️🌞🤗 lots of love!
Once a wonderful witch, I was much as you are now...it was a beautiful state of being! Unfortunately, tragedy struck for me, and I now am disabled to a serious degree. Still, I would encourage all witches to explore themselves and the world around them with enthusiasm and wonder, for these may be the best days of your lives! 🌛🌟🌜
I absolutely love this video. It’s a mixture of made items and memories.
I’ve got extreme chills from this video your energy and aura is amazing
I loved seeing how your alter grew and your tour at the end was beautiful I love how you see your whole room as your alter xx
This was so helpful and all your thought and love put into your altar is inspiring
Absolutely love your alter and your energy. So grounding ❤
Absolutely stunning
I do love the progression you gave
Thank you for sharing your sacred space. It's beautiful.
So glad to have found you today!
I do not speak fluent english, and sometimes its hard to understand people. However, your pronunciation is so calm and clean so I can absorb every word you say.
It looks beautiful, & it's interesting to learn about this stuff-my friend's birthday is coming up & I wanted to get her a gift that she could use for her alter, but I don't know much about this stuff. This definitely gives me some good ideas
Beautiful to see your altar Alwyn. I felt very inspired for ideas to add to my altar. 💓🌺
So sweet spirited! Thank you for your tour and ideas for an alter! Peace be upon you! Miracles and blessings!!
Oh hunny we won't judge! I love your energy and how you see things and find happiness in them! Blessed be ❤
I absolutely love this one Alwyn, I loved looking through your Altar. It’s amazing. X
I love your alter your and encouraging everyone to do what speaks to us as individuals.
Beautiful bureau. I totally agree that your altar is an extension to your personality and can be anything. I have the same cabinet, and brings me joy too. Keep posting, love your style and energy x
Of all your videos, this one is my favourite. The way you honour your self is so beautiful and inspiring :)
the way you move your hands across things is so relaxing lol
Aww haha thankyou! I like hand modelling! 🤣
I love it ❤️! I love old things and little things that reminds me of happy times. Just seeing your altar and hearing the stories behind things just made me feel so happy. I think when I make mine I'll use yours for inspiration ❤️
This is such a lovely altar! I'm moving in a couple weeks and just had to take mine apart, your video and calming energy has really left me feeling inspired and excited for this new change!
Okay I’m obsessed with everything about your alter😩 so unique and creative
I love you!, I love your energy, your creativity, and your home .
Only one word to say: WOW !
This was the video i first saw you in and instantly this became my favourite channel until today 🧚🏻♀️🥀🐻🌼🐈💍
This is absolutely stunning!! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Aww thankyou lovely I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I have shown it enough times I thought it was about time I did a tour of it 😅😊💚💚
lovely....just lovely....thank you for sharing your sacred space
I have many altars around my house. Next to my laptop, I have a stool that has a bunch of crystals to either dispel negative energy or enhance peace and creativity, a candle and some dried flowers.
any surface is subject to be set up as an altar and still life, because I mostly appreciate the crystals pots and items that I have and want them to be placed in a way that is beautiful.
the mini terrarium was adorable!! i never thought of that, definitely going to incorporate my own
Your altar is beautiful!! This was so fun to watch I feel so inspired to start decorating mine!!
Thank you so much! Everything is so beautiful!
I second that your a beautiful soul alwyn
A beautiful set up. And methinks that decking the stump out to work as an altar is brilliant.
Beautiful altar good vibes to you. Great idea.
Love all your videos love and light
I use things I collect from nature for my centerpieces for Holidays when family is over. Love it!
Really beautiful. was a joy watching this video.
I love the inner child acknowledgement, I have been trying to work on that as well. Remembering and honoring.
Oh wow! Your alter is amazing! I want one just like it!
Love and light xx
This is so beautiful. So many wonderful ideas on setting up my first altar. I have a few little things from a beloved older brother who pasted away from his world travels. Now I know exactly what to do with them.❤️
I love your altar and your home, thank you for sharing. I have an altar in my studio and have various items in it including a clay goddess I made as I do resonate with the goddess but love all the earthy things you have especially your twig candle holders, you have inspired me to create some nature based items. 💜
Your altar is so beautiful and personal, I am so charmed how everything means so much to you. After watching your video, I am motivated to begin this process. Thank you.
I absolutely love the secretary as an altar!❤
Love the editing trick you did to light the candles 🥰 so enchanting
What a fabulous video!
This video warmed my heart so much.. especially the part when you opened your little box with treasures from your childhood. 💕 it almost made me cry! 🥲 You have the sweetest energy. Thank you so much for sharing such personal things with us... I really needed this today - I've been so grumpy and couldn't seem to shake it off until now. Much love to you!
Altar tree!!!! What a great idea! I loved your video
This is incredibly sweet and reminds me of myself
I adore the b roll and this special care taken with each shot. I really enjoyed watching how your practice grew, and how you mentioned that you can start out or have as much a little as you want. Something I'm afraid most people do not mention.
I have that same cabinet you are using for crystals!
Your area is so amazing and inspiring!
Thank you for sharing.
You’ve given me some good ideas!
I don't know why but I started crying seeing your child self. So innocent and sweet. This video is just so beautiful and touches my heart💞💞. Thank you for sharing💚🙏🌳
Such a great video with a personal, cozy vibe! I loved the pencil holder and childhood memory box as sentimental nods to your past and your loved ones.
Ahhh so many beautyful things! 🥰🥰🥰 Also oddly nice to see another adult collect, keep and appreciate random things they find outside
That's my kind of alter ,it's beautiful
Love this ❤ Your book of shadows and tree are so beautiful ❤🔮🙏🏻
