Wild at Heart - in nature

It’s not often I come across a newly growing birch polypore. These fascinating fungi grow only on Birch trees and in Celtic, Germanic, and Anglo-Saxon traditions, the birch is revered as the “lady of the woods” or a tree of purification, new beginnings, and fresh starts. Apt for the coming of the autumn season and the changes that come with it.

Welcome back to our Wild Filles where we experimented with natural dyes - blackberry, elderberry, rose, nettle, rosemary, turmeric - cresting some colourful pieces. We also set our intentions through candles incorporating essential oils and a crystal of choice.

It’s my favourite foraging time of the year. The land is covered in beautiful berries. Respectfully foraged for many uses personally and in my sessions. Blackberries for natural dye, rosehip for syrup and to dry for wreaths, hawthorn for ketchup and all three with sloe to make hedgerow jam. Elderberries not featured are perfect for a vitamin c boost syrup and for experimenting with natural dyes too. As always I only forage when I 100% know their identity and always only take a little from each plant leaving the rest for Mother Nature to nurture.

I spent a lovely couple of hours creating a pine cone Fox in readiness for my upcoming Pine Cone Art Workshop (25 Sept). One of my most favourite woodland animals - majestic and mysterious.
