We are both daily practicing Pagans and have spent the last 10 years practicing Galdrar, Galdrastafir and runameistari and are devotee of the 6 Runic Masters.  We pour our spirit into our work, it’s a way of showing our devotion, and sharing what needs to be shared. All items are blessed and cleansed before leaving our care and they are all safe to use.   We believe in our craft and we believe in yours too!

Natures Pharmacy: How Herbalism Benefits both Dogs and Their Owners

In this Solitarily Witch episode 55 of The Bell Witch Podcast, host Swailes explores the folklore and mythology of the Green Man and all that he has inspired. The episode delves into the Green Man's historical and cultural significance, his connections to nature and growth, and his appearances in various mythological figures like Shakespeare’s Puck and Robin Hood. Swailes also discusses modern practices for incorporating the Green Man into personal magic and spirituality, including creating altars and using specific herbs and crystals. The episode emphasizes the Green Man's role in environmentalism and the cyclical nature of life.

"I think many people will see the Green Man as a reminder that we are connected to nature, and we have a responsibility to care for the planet now more than ever because there's a lot of trouble brewing."
