About Hedgewitch Soapery
Sarah, a Hedgewitch, Healer & initiated Priestess of sacred oils pays homage to the medicine women and men of old who lived at the village edge where the boundaries of society and natural world soften and blur.
Hedgewitches are said to "fly the hedge", referring to the way they live with one foot in the physical world and the other in the spiritual realm, focusing their craft on the home and infusing their day to day activities with magickal intention. These medicine makers have a deep knowledge and connection of the plant kingdom, working intuitively with nature, the stars and Mama moon to bring healing and wisdom to the world.
Part of the Green Maker Initiative Season
Throughout November, December and January we’ll be celebrating our Green Maker Initiative (GMI) Season; hosting events, workshops and exhibitions themed around the natural world and championing sustainable craft.
