Ethnobotany of Celtic Tradition

Keowulf 22

Two new additions to my bookshelf:

Medicinal Plants in Folk Tradition: An Ethnobotany of Britain and Ireland
- David E. Allen and Gabrielle Hatfield

"Assembled by two of the most distinguished botanical and ethnological scholars in Britain, this book chronicles the medicinal uses of more than 400 species used by the plain folk of Britain and Ireland. The history of these plants’ usages has been mined from rich firsthand accounts captured by surveys, from more than 1000 manuscript volumes of the Irish Folklore Commission, and from close to 300 other published and unpublished sources. The book includes chosen illustrations from herbals such as those by Bock, Fuchs, and Brunfels, and a selection of color photographs by Deni Brown."


The Healing Power of Celtic Plants: Their History, Their Use, and the Scientific Evidence That They Work
- Angela Paine


"Our knowledge of the Celts, who spread all over Europe a few thousand years ago, has been growing rapidly over the last few decades. One of the most fascinating aspects of their culture was their use of plant medicine. Angela Paine, who has degrees in plant chemistry from London University and has published extensively and internationally in scientific journals, provides here both a history of their use, a guide to using them today, and an account of their effectiveness in healing."

From My Morgen Collection - MIDSUMMER MAGIC Litha Sabbat Ritual Altar Spell Oil

Keowulf 18

When Goddess calls your name ...



The Midsummer Solstice (also known as Litha [Pagan], Gŵyl Ganol yr Haf [Welsh Witchcraft], Alban Heruin, [Caledonii or the Druids] and Alban Hefin [Anglo-Saxon Tradition]) occurs (depending on where you are on the planet) in the Northern hemisphere June 19-23 and in the Southern hemisphere December 19-23 when the Sun moves into Cancer (a feminine water sign). All life on our blue planet Earth depends upon the presence of water, and as the also life-giving Sun moves into Cancer at the Midsummer Solstice, the intimate association of this Sabbat with a cosmic celebration of Life is revealed.



Celebrate life during this Midsummer Solstice with MIDSUMMER MAGIC, a potently magical ritual oil handcrafted for my Morgen Collection with nine certified organic traditional Celtic Druid botanicals including Chicory, Cinquefoil, Elder flowers, Lavender flowers, Meadowsweet flowers, Mugwort, Lemon Verbana, Chamomile flowers and a whole pink Rosebud. MIDSUMMER MAGIC is magically charged with green Adventurine gemstone nuggets and generously scented with the mystical aroma of a Midsummer Night.

Each 1/2 ounce glass bottle is adorned with handmade pink-butterscotch silk sari ribbon and green grosgrain ribbon.

Comes beautifully packaged.

MIDSUMMER MAGIC may be purchased at WITCHCRAFTS by Liorah Lleucu.

From My Morgen Collection - BELTANE FIRE Sabbat Ritual Altar Spell Oil

Keowulf 18

When Goddess calls your name ...



In Avalonian pathworking, the Morgen represents each woman's personal attainment of magical Sovereignty and Mastery.

In the Sisterhood of Avalon and the Avalonian Tradition of Witchcraft, the Council of Nine Wise Women (each called a Morgen) is itself guided by the Morgen, the Office and Title given to the Chief clergywoman of the magical tradition. The Office of the Morgen is similar to the Office of Archdruid in Druidry. The Office of the Morgen speaks for the Sisterhood and serves to manifest the vision of the collective as an organization of women dedicated to Goddess, to pathworking with the Welsh-Celtic Women's Mystery Tradition, and to manifestation of personal and collective magical Sovereignty. In the Sisterhood, all women are equal.

From my Morgen Collection of magical blends, BELTANE FIRE is handcrafted with nine premium certified organic botanicals including Goldenseal, Gold Seal Dragon's Blood resin, Calendula, Red Sandalwood, Red Roses, Saffron stamens, Grains of Paradise, whole Clove and Schizandra berry. This exquisitely mystical Goddess blend is magically charged with a Carnelian gemstone nugget and generously scented with Dragon's Blood.

Use BELTANE FIRE for Beltane (Calan Mai) rites and for Avalonian, Celtic, Druid and Goddess magic.

Each 1/2 ounce glass bottle is adorned with handmade red silk sari ribbon and bright fiery yellow satiny ribbon.

Comes beautifully packaged.
