Cedar wood room spray


I made some cedar wood room spray using cedar rings and freshly fallen snow.  The smell was incredible as the snow melted, simmering the wood slowly and the colour was incredible, a pinky brown. 


Cedar has cleansing properties so I used the spray in many ways such as spraying my crystal box and my altar.

Hazel Nut Bread


Continuing my Hazel studies I had a go at making some bread with hazel nut.  It was so easy and delicious to eat, bursting with vitamin E and perfect with my home made soup. 




Ground some Hazel Nuts



Added to a pre-made bread mix and left to rise before knocking back


Served with a lovely hot soup

Hazel Magic


I love working with wood, above is a dream catcher made from Hazel. I hung it in my outdoor altar .
The ink pen is also made from a Hazel twig and an old ink pen.  So many dreams and lots of inspiration coming from both of them now.

Materia Medica


I am coming to the end of my most recent course in Herbalism and have learned so much. It has made me read books and research things that I would never have thought about.  My Materia Medica will be a living document to be added to constantly as I experiment with herbs and spices. 




I had company during a lot of my experiments in the form of my cat Edric who seems very interested in herbal remedies.
