About

Mountain Hedgewitch came to fruition in early 2018, although it has been a pet dream since long before that. Deriving from old Irish pagan traditions, the items, spellwork and ideals have been combined with the practical uses of wortcunning, wildcrafting and homesteading to create a modern space for like-minded (or simply curious) folks to commune. It was created and is run by Mountain Hedgewitch, a one-woman crafter, and was later joined by the inspired artists who now contribute to The Cunning Folkery Shop.

Products found here are Colorado wildcrafted, handmade, homegrown or repurposed. All animal and plant products are ethically harvested and maintain the value they had while living. The hope is that they go to a home that cares for them as much as their creators and bring a sense of antiquity to each individual buyer.

Still interested in understanding the basis of Mountain Hedgewitch? Check out the INTRODUCTORY BLOG POST in The Veil, which talks about our creation story.

Contributing Crafters

Mountain Hedgewitch

Founder

      I’m a native Colorado artist who discovered the love of lore and nature at a young age. Magic was always present in my home and I have pursued the old world view of pagan reconstructionism ever since. I’m a training and practicing herbalist, solitary witch, artist and crafter. I aspire to one day become an accomplished hedgewitch so that I can continue to share that knowledge with others. Although, we all know the learning never stops.

      A majority of the items are hand- and homemade by me, if it isn’t harvested naturally and sold as-is. I simply love natural materials, particularly ones I have foraged or reclaimed myself, beside which I combine with my fascination of prehistory, ancient traditions, mythology and even the sometimes uncomfortable images of death. I desire to make things beautiful and original so that each purchase feels personal and sacred to the buyer. The desire is to intrigue, bewitch, beguile and rejoice with each and every customer.

The Veil blog is a chance to share plant knowledge, creative projects, ideas, recipes, spellwork, homesteading tips, business confessions and flights of fancy in an environment with like-minded (or simply curious) people. I am always happy to connect with anyone willing to give recommendations or ask questions.
