The Summer Solstice this year (2021) is on June 21st
Rosemary Syrup Recipe:
2 sprigs of Rosemary
1 cup of water
1 cup of sugar
Heat and stir for 10 minutes until sugar dissolved and Rosemary permeating through.
Allow to cool and then serve. - SO EASY RIGHT?!

Does everyone even realize that Alwyn also composes the background music... soooooooo talented and beautiful.
You are too kind
It's my first solstice as a witch, and I'm so excited!!
Ooo yay thats so exciting! Have a wonderful time
SAME, HAPPY LITHA!!!
🤦♀
Same!
Same !!🌞☺️🌻
The end brought me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with others! I was tickled to see the orange and yellow foods! I have many herbs in my garden that would make lovely syrups. LOVE that idea! I keep a pitcher of lemonade in the fridge in the summer, so they’ll be perfect!💛🧡❤️
Aww my love I really needed to say thankyou, and it really got me too 💛💛💛 yes haha I was going to say in the chat but didn't want to spoil it for you hehe! The syrup recipe is in the description and honestly it was so easy to make!! Good idea using different herbs, I'd love to use lemon balm 🌞🌞🌞 have a wonderful solstice! All my love to you 🌞💛😊💛🌞
I think up to this point this is Blessed Alwyn's masterpiece. Much like when she mentioned of never wanting a moment to end during the video, I felt so much the same. The music, the colours, the atmosphere, the knowledge, the overwhelming feeling of care and love 😮
Your videos feel like I’m visiting a friend! They’re beautiful and relaxing. Thank you for posting! 🌼🌞🌻
Ah that's so lovely!! You are my friend my love, I am so glad you are here 💛🌞 so much love to you 🌞💛✨
You’re a wonderful storyteller. I’m so grateful for discovering your channel. Thank you.
Ohh that's so lovely thankyou Tori ✨💛🌞 I LOVE telling stories so much 🌞💛
And I also wanted to ad, you really made me think when, in your disclaimer, you said to be safe in wooded areas. I know I'm always kind of pushing it when I go out in the woods by myself, and when I see videos like yours, I say "See, it's okay." I didn't know you weren't alone. A good reminder to be cautious and safe. (But Alywn, it's so tempting to go it alone!) Anyway, maybe you saved me from future harm. Thank you.
It is SO tempting I know! I did have a bad experience a few years ago unfortuantly (not in the woods it was actually on a main road!!! Wasn't terrible, but enough to have me shaken up and upset!!) You never know who or what is lurking out there! Have a wonderful litha 😊✨☀️🌞
After challenging myself and reading some very powerful female authors. I no longer feel this way. Our birthright is to be in nature. I feel safer alone in nature woods, streams, sea etc than I ever do in the city. As Alwyn said she had bad experience main road. Please don't feel you can't go out alone. Protection spell and intention after a shower or saining or smudging self helps give you confidence. I also have a staff if I am going on a longer walk alone. This sends out a signal not to mess with me!! Much love xx
If you go walking a lot alone, I would recommend taking some martial arts classes. The good classes will not just teach about fighting, but also about situational awareness. Also learning to read the warning signals from the animals that we share the woodlands with can give you extra information about what's happening nearby. For instance, what are the birds doing? Are they singing, that probably means you are the only one close by, but if they suddenly stop and you are not the cause, you know that there might be other (not necessarily bad) humans approaching. I really recommend wing chung as a martial art for women, it was invented by a woman and is great for smaller/slighter built people. Happy Solstice!
@@tainoroyal6585 Love this thank you xx
I live on the outskirts of London and this is such an important point
This made my heart and soul so warm and happy. I could feel your energy through the video. Thank you for sharing and teaching! Blessings to you!
Thankyou so much cassi I'm so glad you enjoyed it - it was my pleasure!! Have a blessed solstice too😊🌞💛 all my love 🌞☺️✨
Thank you SO much for your content. I deal with depression and anxiety, and your videos are sometimes the one bright spot in my day. I say this not to gain sympathy, but to let you know just how truly wonderful you are to your viewers. Thank you so much for being you.
This is definitely a special time of year for me. I started my practice on Litha a few years ago and I hope to honor it for many many more years.
I can’t choose one favorite - I’m a DIY’r so I liked the sun catcher, solar water and flower wreath BUT I guess my favorite would have to be dancing in the woods!
Im really enjoying your story time/diy/ritual movies. Since the last one, I have been slowly building my fairy garden. I have wanted to make one for years, and I just needed that little bit of fairy influenced inspiration.
Ohh thats so amazing to hear! Yes I hear you, I put it off since my childhood haha but felt it the right time! Hope you are enjoying yourself crafting! Have a wonderful Litha, and i have a great story telling video which i have planned next!! Blessed be
@@AlwynOak Thank you,, and you too :)
You vid carries a beautiful message: be in the moment, live it's beauty !
Love this!! Yes absolutely! It is raining here tody for the solstice but still embracing the rain as I would the sun 🌞☔☀️🌞☀️☔
I so look forward to your videos. They bring such peace into the world 🌎. I love your background music, so tranquil. Merry Meet and Blessed Be
So Inspiring!! 🌟✨⭐️💫 Love the turtle(tortoise?) content too!! 🐢
Eee haha you are welcome. Everyone needs the energy of a wise old tortoise sometimes 💛🌞🐢🐢🐢
I love the dancing with the crown in flowers
Awww, the tortoise 🥰 so cute! 😍
I’m so thankful that you posted this before the solstice, you’re such an inspiration for us! Blessed be 🌞🌸🤗✨✨
I missed the premiere (phone calls at the end of my work day are the worst)! I loved all of your ideas for the solstice! It didn’t even occur to me to make sun water, so I’ll definitely be incorporating that this year. I also love the idea of watching the sunrise at Stonehenge, and since I’m in Ontario I’ll be able to watch it before I go to sleep for the night! ❤️
Much love to you my dear. I always come away from your videos with something new. 🌸
Hi Sarah, Thankyou so much im so glad you liked it
Wish I could come dance with you with flowers in my hair! Love this scene ❤️
Solstice greetings 🙏🏼. I wish I were blessed enough to live amidst such peaceful enclosures of nature. Beautiful video. 🌞🌸
You are so incredibly creative it is almost overwhelming. I liked all your rituals but especially doing the early morning sunsalutations and dancing to the earth goddess.
My favorite thing in this video was the night ritual. There is something freeing about letting go of the negative. 🌞❤
Thankyou angela 💛💛💛 glad you liked it 🌞 I agree compeltely, it's so cleansing and the feeling of letting go is just so releaving ✨🌞😊
I enjoyed the rosemary lemonade and the headdress wreath. Waking up to the sun sounds like bliss. Thank you Alwyn and bright blessings 🌞🌛🌝🌜🌞
I LOVE your fruit plate, just gorgeous!
Absolutely perfect. What a beautiful day. Litha is my favorite Solstice along with Yule. Litha is such a bittersweet as we say goodbye to the Sun and begin to mentally prepare for turn into the darker days, which I love too. All so wonderful to be connected with earth and nature and to move and flow with her. This video brought sweet tears to my eyes as I reminisced of my past Mid Summer Celebrations. I think this year I will be making a lovely Sun catcher to keep through the winter. Thank you sister for such a thoughtful and touching video. Blessed Be.
your mums garden is stunning, i love all your pets too.
Thankyou Alwyn ! This video was full of summer magic happy Midsummer 🌞🌻☀️
I very much love all of this. I felt especially inspired by the sun catcher and by the ritual at the end, but there are so many wonderful ideas throughout that I think I shall watch again and take notes! Thank you, Alwyn.
How lovely. Thank you! 😊 🙏🌻
Happy summer Solstice to all!!!🌻🌻🌻
Beautiful video as always dear Alwyn! Thank you from my ❤️

Thankyou so much my lovely 🌞💛🌞

Ahh that's amazing hope you enjoy sweet 😊💚✨🌞☺️
Such beautiful ideas to celebrate Litha; I'm looking forward to incorporating a few of these ideas next week. Brightest of blessings to all!! 🌻🌼🐝🌞💓
Thank you for your amazing video. I am currently in a mental hospital for a longer time and I feel so far away from nature and my spirituality than ever. I feel like giving up every day its such a hard time. Your Videos are always a light in my life and even when I am currently not in a place where I can try your ideas. I love to see them and hope this time next year I am at a better place to try them out. Lots of love ♡
Hi Michelle just sending love to you. I have been in psychiatric hospital too. I found a lot of calm and peace in the arts occupational therapy room it really helped me along with lots of other things in my recovery xx
I loved the scene when you danced with a flower crown, it was so magical!
Thankyou my lovely it really felt magical and very overwhelming yet beautiful energy ✨💛🌞💛✨ Have a blessed litha
I love to see when you open your magic book and you are going to do everything that is in the writing, what an emotion to see your videos, I am always charged with beautiful energy...🌿🌼🐞
I love the fruit plate honoring the Sun. That will be a thing I do.

Also love the suncatcher!
Well I am so happy that I have found this beautiful video, which I have just watched in the early hours of the 21st of June. I’m not really the biggest lover of summer. I am very much an autumn and winter person… but this video has inspired me to attempt to truly make the most of this day. And to try to create some special memories of the sun instead of wishing for the summer to be over like I usually do. So thank you, and I wish you a blessed and peaceful solstice 🌞💛
Your mum's garden is beautiful. 💝
I really appreciated the message at the end - thank you so much!! ❤️
You are welcome! You deserve it sweet 🤗🌞☀️

I am sooo GRATEFUL for you. You have truly helped me to reawaken my Spirit. THANK YOU !
I loved that offering on the stump, especially, thanking nature, the animals, and the Sun for your ritual workings and pieces. Glorious!
So many wonderful ideas! Thank you Alwyn!
Thanks so much Rhonda as always!! 🌞💛✨ I hope you have a magical litha whatever you do ✨💛🌞💛✨
Beautiful.
Thank you💛🧡
You find so many ways to honor the turning of the wheel! I especially love how you returned the flowers to the forest with a mandala and the dancing in the sunlight. Now I have an idea for what to do with our garden rosemary too - thank you so much for sharing Alwyn
