All things nature, slow living and folklore.

About seasonofearth

Sharing stories, tips and knowledge with a pinch of magic.

Here at Seasonofearth, you’ll find whimsical tales, recipes, guides, and anecdotes inspired by folklore and the natural world. If you feel at home daydreaming about forests, castles, faeries and other enchanting things, this blog is for you.

I also share inspiration on how we can remain connected to the earth and its seasons – even in this fast-paced, chaotic world. Inspired by principles of slow living, these posts are about gently embracing nature’s rhythms and adapting our habits and thought patterns in tune with the changes in our environment.

I hope you find that this is a cosy place to rest, retreat, and perhaps discover something new about nature and its mythology.

Celebrating the mystery of nature through heritage folklore and original works.

I’m fascinated by the complex relationship between humans and the earth. Every generation, culture, and individual interprets their surroundings differently. Depending upon who you talk to, nature can be good, evil, dangerous, healing, enchanted, ordinary, separate from or united with humanity.

Folktales connect us with our roots. They allow us to see the world through the eyes of those who came before us, rekindling valuable wisdom that would otherwise be lost to time.

I hope to help keep these traditional myths and legends alive by sharing them with you here and on my Instagram account. Across these spaces, you’ll also discover magical, nature-inspired pieces from my own experiences and imagination.

Let's keep in touch!

Ad πŸ¦‹πŸŒˆ Butterflies can help you predict the w Ad πŸ¦‹πŸŒˆ Butterflies can help you predict the weather, according to folklore. 

In Mid and West Wales, for example, seeing a gathering of a large number of white butterflies is said to be a sign that fair weather is on the way. πŸ› Meanwhile, in England, seeing brimstone butterflies among the spring flowers was thought to be a sign that poor weather is around the corner. 

 Butterflies are highly sensitive to changes in temperature and barometric pressure, which lowers before a storm or change in weather happens. β›ˆοΈ So, there's a scientific basis for the idea that they may indicate short-term weather changes. If they're seeking shelter, it's a sign that rain or harsh weather is on the way. 

The beautiful blue butterfly ring I'm wearing in this video was kindly gifted to me by @fableengland . It's modelled after vintage natural history illustrations and is fully adjustable!

🌼🌲✨ Snowdrops appear as if by magic in a d 🌼🌲✨ Snowdrops appear as if by magic in a delicate green and white carpet at the begining of spring. 

We've had a lot of frost and snow throughout February and in these first few days of March. It's incredible to see how these unassuming little flowers overcome the cold. 

❄️ Snowdrops have anti-freeze proteins in their sap which keep their cells safe from freezing temperatures, and their leaves are specially-adapted to break through frozen soil or snow thanks to their hardened, pointed ends.

β„οΈπŸ•―οΈ Snow tumbles from the tree's crown, β„οΈπŸ•―οΈ Snow tumbles from the tree's crown, shards of starlight casting a kaleidoscope portal in the air. Through the fanged maw of mist, a forgotten world shivers awake. Wood sprites weave spells over winter-brushed branches. Dragons, draped with silvered lichen, stir in their ancient dreams. 

πŸŒ²β„οΈπŸŒ²β„οΈ 

Like every season, winter has its own special kind of magic. It's incredible to watch familiar landscapes transform with snowfall or frost, like a whole new world has been layered on top of what already exists.

A journey through the wishing woods πŸŒ²πŸ‚βœ¨ Be A journey through the wishing woods πŸŒ²πŸ‚βœ¨ Beech trees are known for their connection to wishes and knowledge.

Legend has it that if you write a selfless wish on a fallen beech branch and tie it back to the tree, it might come true. This tradition is thought to have originated from the Celtic belief that beech trees have a direct connection to the Otherworld, so the words will be carried there.

It was absolutely enchanting to see these trees in the mist in the early hours πŸ‚

πŸŒ™πŸ‚ The Hunter's Moon and faerie revelry | ad πŸŒ™πŸ‚ The Hunter's Moon and faerie revelry | ad with @fableengland

The Hunter's Moon will appear in our skies this October. It is the first full moon after the Harvest Moon, rising in the cool, clear nights that follow the autumn equinox. 

Like the Harvest Moon, the Hunter's Moon was (and still is) a crucial light source for those working or travelling during the dark autumn nights.πŸ•―οΈOn moonlit nights like these, the Fae are said to emerge from their dwellings and come to the mortal world for rades or processions - especially near Samhain, when the Hunter's moon appears. 

This pendant from @fableengland 's Autumn/ Winter collection perfectly captures the moon's glow at this time of year. It has a faux pearl centre that reflects light beautifully. 🌌 

The Hunter's moon this year is on the 28th of October. πŸŒ™

Paint with me πŸŽ¨πŸ•―οΈπŸ‚ I love getting cosy Paint with me πŸŽ¨πŸ•―οΈπŸ‚ I love getting cosy in autumn with arts and crafts! Mini canvas art is an approachable way to fit a little creativity in without committing to a big project when you're busy. It's easy to get a small piece done in an hour or two. Are you working on any creative projects at the moment?

Travel through the seasons with me. πŸŒΏπŸ‚ It's Travel through the seasons with me. πŸŒΏπŸ‚ It's hard to believe it's autumn already! I started filming this video more than a year ago, capturing the seasons from the same spot beneath this beautiful birch tree. It's incredible to see how the trees and landscape change from vivid greens and blossoms to the frigid snow of winter. 

I find that my creativity is at its peak in the transition seasons of autumn and spring 🍁🌼 I've been active on my stories, but I'm excited to start sharing more feed posts again! When do you feel the most creative?
