Hello and welcome to Diary Of A Folk Witch, a living witchcraft platform for ALL!
Are you looking to learn more about folk witchcraft, folklore and modern wise folk skills, but not entirely sure where to start?
Perhaps you’re new to your path and looking to explore it further in a safe and informative environment? Or maybe you’re an experienced Occultist and looking to find genuine content on Folk Witchcraft that is neither ‘fluffy’ or watered down?
Well, you have come to the right place!
My name is Zanna, join me on my path as a Folk Witch and Priestess.
I will share with you my life and practice, from being a community wise woman, birth doula, chaplain and a celebrant, to living on a small urban homestead and utilising old folk ways and skills in my everyday folk witch life.
Through a blend of informative posts and diary entries, I seek to let you into my every day life and practice and cover the following topics:
Diary Of A Folk Witch Entries.
The Kitchen Witchcraft Series.
The Folk Ways & Urban Homesteading Series (coming soon).
The Herbs And Healing Series
The Grimoire Series
Folklore And Spirits Of The Land Series
Tree And Plant Lore Series
The Folk Witchcraft Series.
The Animal Familiar And Spirit Guides Series.
The Divination And Scrying Series.
As well as this, I often hold talk and workshops, both in person and online!
We hope you enjoy exploring this website and walking through the world of modern Folk Witchcraft.
Through the time, mists, and distance between us, blessings from me to you.
