Traditionally, the beech is called the 'Queen of the Mother of the Woods', sharing a place of honour with the kingly oak. As such, the beech is considered to be protective and nurturing, giving shade with its canopy and food that can be eaten in its raw state. It was said that no harm could befall a lost traveller who sought shelter under the branches of beech, considered to be one of the few truly holy trees in the wood.

The beech also has a strong association with knowledge and wisdom, writing and the transmission of lore.

I value the gifts given by the Spirits and always hold gratitude ceremonies for them. I carefully listen to the Earth and the Spirits to express what needs to be created at any time.
Every single item created here is unique in its own way, so if you are looking for perfection, I unfortunately cannot offer that, as every imperfection is beautiful in its own way.
I am passionate about caring for the environment and will always try to use ethical packaging that isn't harmful to the Earth and all living beings.
