Hello Wild Soul,
As we step into September, I wanted to share with you some words I wrote about this time of year…
This piece was chosen to accompany the month of September in the Earth Pathways wall calendar for 2026. I wanted to share it with you here too because I really do find the transitionary points of the year as we move between seasons, a potent time to take stock and savour the magic.
A little Apple Magic…
As we move into this new month, I have been captivated, once again by the fruit trees that feel especially abundant this year. We found ourselves returning to the beautiful Avalon orchard a couple of weeks ago. If you have read my post walking with trees from a few years ago, you may remember that this beautiful little orchard, just beneath Glastonbury Tor holds real significance for me. I often find myself here during times of doubt and fear and this time was no different.
The last time I had visited, I lay beneath the sweet blossoms in Spring, watching crows fly between the branches, and bees buzz joyfully. Under those trees, I felt my energy slowly begin to rise and my spark return after a long, cold Winter. This time, I sat my frazzled body in the shade of the apple trees on a hot, late Summer afternoon. We spent a few hours, soaking in the peace, tasting apples and infusing in the magic of these abundant trees.
September and associated Trees
September is the month of golden light and fields, and as the month progresses, golden leaves too. There are many trees associated with this time of the year but it is the fruit trees that are stealing the show for me this year, how about you?
The Elder trees are ripe with berries just now and hold such medicine for us as we move into the Autumn. I have been gathering the glossy purple berries for a spiced syrup and stewing them alongside apples and blackberries.
The Hawthorns and Blackthorns are also loaded with glossy fruits this year too, but right now, it is the apple trees that are have been calling to me the most..
Wild Fen offerings
We are currently working on an Wild Jewellery collection, inspired by the abundance of Autumn. You will be the first to see them in a few weeks time. Until then we still have some beautiful Moon pendants in store now.

Before I go, I just I wanted to share a couple of articles I thought you may be interested in reading as we move ever closer to the Autumn Equinox…
Wishing you all some moments to savour this week,
