Rooted by Nature
I’m Samantha Sear, an artist and stay at home mum and in this podcast I’ll be talking about how I connect with nature and the changing seasons, share recipes and creative ideas. I’ll take you along on my journey as I learn about the trees, plants and wildlife around me and the folklore, magic and mythology surrounding them. It’s my hope that this uplifting podcast may encourage you to slow down, enjoy the little things, notice the beauty outside your front door and feel more rooted by nature.
Rooted by Nature
Halloween & Samhain Special
You may be wondering what Halloween has to do with feeling connected to nature and being aligned with the seasons, well there’s a lot more to Halloween than meets the eye!
I'll be talking about Samhain (the Celtic fire festival) which is where this strange and spooky festival came from, along with witches, fairies, apples, pumpkins and magic. Even if you're not a Halloween fan like me then it’s still the perfect time to say goodbye to summer and embrace the winter, reflect on the year and divine what’s to come, honour ourselves and lost loved ones, bring nature inside to spruce up our homes, bake sweet treats, make the most of the apple harvest and best of all, tap into the amazing energy that’s abound this time of year and work a little magic of our own.
