Forest Womxn, Wild Witch

The Way of the Wild Witch is for witches old and witches new, womxn called and womxn remembering. It is an exploration of a deeper, older, darker, wilder magic rooted in the Wilds and the role of Witch as Mediator, Edge-Liver and Hedge-Rider, and Protectress of the Wildwood, of the Earth. This Path + Offerings is based in and will explore primal myth + folk magic, ancestral + traditional European witchcraft, Northern Traditions Shamanism, Celtic Spirituality, and others. We are not afraid of Blood & Bones or the dark of the New Moon, we Tenders of the Witches' Plants, we Keepers of Familiars, we who Dance with Spirits. 

​

Though the majority of our inspiration and study revolves around European Traditional Witchcraft & Shamanic Practices, we are not exclusive to this nor are we closed to those who come from other traditions. The Way of the Wild Witch is for anyone of any path who resonates with our work, regardless of race/ethnicity/lineage/tradition/personal practice/sexual preference/gender identity, etc.

​

We have a few Mystery School courses currently in the works, as well as a virtual and local Coven~ We also provide ceremony facilitation, official ordination for events such as Handfastings and baby Namings, and lead circle and ritual. 

     I knew, like a snow goose knows the way home, who I was.

           What I was. I was wild, I was fierce, I was magic. I was Witch-kin... 

More and more of us are hearing the calling. Remembering an older, wilder way. We are the ones who have always found ourselves on the outskirts, in the hedgerow, living and moving through life in the liminal places, the in-between. We are world-crossers, walking through life with one foot in this world and one in the spirit world. We were soul-called, and when we fell down, down into the Underworld, and we let ourselves be devoured and torn assunder and re-born in fire, we became Witch. 

​

We are the ones who whisper to plants, and know their ways-- of curing, of poisoning, of life and death, of magic and medicine. We are the ones who see spirits in the corners of our eyes, or hear voices brushing against our ear, telling us things to come. We are the ones who look into the depths of our tea cups or at the movement of birds in the sky and have a Kenning. We are the ones who like the Hedgerow, mediate between the wild and the tamed, the natural world and the human world. We are Witch. 

​

We are the ones who place crystals in the sunlight and dance with our sisters on the Hill under a Full Harvest Moon. We are the ones who ride the drum-horse up and down the World Tree, who go Sitting Out to receive messages from the Land, who tend to spirit and body and mind and the Wild. We are the ones who hang rowan crosses above our doors and burn blackberry and mugwort and dance our prayers. We are the ones who came from the ones before, in a land and time before. We are Witch.
