As I went on to work in the beauty industry, I gained a better understanding of how products were made, how ingredients was sourced and produced, and how they worked on the body; It was eye opening!

 

Because of my keen interest in history and folklore, I was constantly researching traditional practices with herbal preparations, skin treatments and folk recipes. I became fascinated with not only the traditional uses of herbs but also the stories and folklore behind them.  I discovered that plants were considered more potent during different times of the lunar cycle, and that certain gods and goddesses ruled over particular herbs and plants.

 

My ancestry is deeply rooted in Britain and Ireland with a strong emphasis on Scotland and the northern isles. I have ancestors who lived their whole lives on the Orkney’s and others from the most westerly and wild point of Britain. From a very young age, I've felt a strong calling towards spirituality and began exploring Witchcraft and pagan practices such as celebrating the eight festivals and living by the lunar cycle. Moonseed rituals is a way of combining all these passions into something I can share with everyone.
