And, they say
Life is an adventure
Full of mystery
So let’s go ..

Sleeping in the Forest
By: Mary Oliver

Art by Josephine Wall

I thought the earth
remembered me, she
took me back so tenderly, arranging
her dark skirts, her pockets
full of lichens and seeds. I slept
as never before, a stone
on the riverbed, nothing
between me and the white fire of the stars
but my thoughts, and they floated
light as moths among the branches
of the perfect trees. All night
I heard the small kingdoms breathing
around me, the insects, and the birds
who do their work in the darkness. All night
I rose and fell, as if in water, grappling
with a luminous doom. By morning
I had vanished at least a dozen times
into something better.

🕯️Let’s go
To where the magic waits for us
Where our hopes, our dreams
Our wishes. Come true. 🪄✨

A little blessing written by Athey Thompson
Art by the talented Lavender & Lark, she creates the loveliest hares & faery folk, using the old method of needle felting.

With the longer days and light coming . We welcome visitors again to share the joy of our forest.

🌝 Look up & head out tonight to soak up some moon beams, energy and light. This final full moon of the year is also called the Cold Moon, Yule Moon, Little Spirit Moon, Oak Moon, and the Moon before and Long Night Moon. Its the perfect time to kick off the 12 nights of Christmas with an outdoor gathering, walk, fire or celebration. *Call out your friends and family, there are likely plenty of left over goodies to share 🌝 💚🐸🦇🐱🦊🍄🪵🐿🦔🐾🌲

Lost

Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.

No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.

The Enchanted Forest is always excited to see little visitors, Ruby the witch is often away on witching business, but welcomes any flower or plant offerings you want to leave at her house, the trolls & gnomes leave their weekly forest meetings for after dark, so you don't need to be scared of them and don't forget to make your wish from your heart at the wishing tree, so the fairy folk will grant it for you!
