My STORY
I am a practising West Country witch, published author, Priestess of Kernow and St Nectan's Kieve, Völva and Druid who follows the true path of a wyse woman. The magic I weave is influenced by Celtic, Scandinavian and West Country Folkloric Magic. I have facilitated many events, workshops, courses and retreats in Old Ways magic, rune lore and tree wisdom throughout the UK.
I am the author of 'Wysecraft - A journey through the Wheel of the Year with a West Country witch' published by Amber Ankh. My book is suitable for both novice and more experienced witchcraft and folklore practitioners, and gives an in-depth look into real spell craft and the myths, legends, practices and traditions associated with the seasonal Wheel of the Year. My book is now being stocked by Boscastle Witchcraft Museum in Cornwall, Treadwell's in London and other magical retailers.
I've appeared as a witch in the media many times and had the pleasure of being interviewed by Clive Anderson, Fern Britton and Jonathon Ross for their individual television series about the myths and legends of Cornwall, all filmed on location here in sacred Kernow.
I co-organised the Cauldron Gathering in Wales, The Witches Ball and The Grand Witches Tea Party in Exeter, which was televised by The One Show, The Guardian and The Times.
I am also a qualified Level 3 Forest School Teacher, aromatherapist, Reiki Master Healer Teacher, Pagan hand fasting and funerary celebrant, and offer numerous ceremonial and magical services, private rune and sea/tree oracle readings and Galdyr healing. I have been working magically with the Blessed Norns, Freya and the Elder Futhark runes for over thirty years.
I am proud to be an initiated Daughter of Morrigan and have been rescuing and rehabilitating corvids for over twenty years.
I am a lover of ancient megaliths, traditional seasonal festivals, spirals, labyrinths, sacred watery places, rocky tors, woodlands and shores, and strongly believe that Mother Nature is our best teacher of all.
What is a Wytch?
For me, to be a wytch is to be a wyse woman or man, a healer, a diviner and a traverser of realms, who has knowledge of herblore and works magically with the unseen natural forces of the Land, Sea and Sky to enhance the well-being of their community and the Earth.
The word witch derives from Old English and has two genders, the female being wicce meaning wise woman, and the male being wicca meaning wise man.
Wytch means Wyse!
