A memory from last year’s Autumn Equinox. 🍂🍁

My sister, my niece, Frieda, and I spent the day in the forest, enjoying the beauty of the season and sharing a warm cup of our Mabon gratitude tea beneath the trees.

The Autumn Equinox is a time when I like to pause and reflect on the things I’m grateful for - family, friendship, nature, and the simple moments that become treasured memories.

And this year, I’m also thinking of all of you. Thank you for watching my videos, sharing your stories, and spending time with me here. This little community means more to me than you know. 🖤

Wishing you all a beautiful and abundant harvest season. 🌾

This weekends woodland adventure came with an unexpected gift. 🍄

I spotted a beautiful Tinder Fungus high on a tree and immediately knew what it was. The only problem? It was completely out of reach my reach. Luckily, my husband was with me and managed to carefully break it free for me.

The last one I found was so firm on the trunk that I couldn’t break it free and I also forgot my knife.

The Autumn Equinox is almost here. 🍁✨

A moment of balance, when day and night stand as equals before we move into the darker half of the year. It is a time for gratitude for what has grown, reflection on what we have learned, and release of what no longer needs to be carried forward.

Last year, I made a video, a guided Mabon ritual focused on balance, gratitude, and release, and I thought this would be the perfect time to revisit it.

As the wheel turns once more, I hope this season brings you peace, abundance, and many reasons to be grateful.🍁

Our chestnut tree is having a very good year. 🌰🌳

After giving it a good pruning, it has come back with an incredible amount of chestnuts. It looks like we’re going to have a very generous harvest this year!

I’m already looking forward to gathering them. 🍂🌰

Just when the garden begins to prepare for autumn, the roses decide to put on one last spectacular show. 🌹✨

The pale pink blooms are opening in abundance, filling the air with their beautiful fragrance and reminding me that nature often saves some of its greatest beauty for the changing of the seasons.

In folk magic, pale pink roses are often associated with gentle love, friendship, compassion, harmony, and emotional healing. Their soft energy is less about passion and more about kindness, self-love, and opening the heart with tenderness. 💗

For now, I’m simply enjoying their beauty, their scent, and this unexpected gift of late-season abundance. 🌿

They called it the Witch Tree. 🌿

For centuries, people believed the Elder Tree held powerful magic, offered protection, and connected the worlds of the living and the unseen.

In a few hours, we’ll explore the folklore, mythology, healing traditions, and enduring mysteries of this remarkable tree.

I hope I see you later. 🤗🖤

Apparently, even a bumblebee knows when it’s time for a little afternoon nap. 🐝🌹

I found this little one tucked deep inside a rose, taking a well-deserved rest after buzzing from flower to flower. Only its tiny fuzzy behind was sticking out. 😄

Just stop for a second and notice that the garden is full of its own little lives and stories.

A Gathering in the Woods 🧚

I stumbled upon this little gathering of red arum in the forest, standing together so perfectly that I couldn’t help but wonder if I had wandered into a fairy tale.

They looked almost placed there, like tiny woodland guardians keeping watch beneath the trees.

The forest has a way of creating little scenes that feel too perfect to be ordinary.

And sometimes, the best thing you can do is simply stop and notice. ✨
