Greetings folks from a lovely sunny... no wait, showery... no wait, dry and cloudy... ummmmm proper West Cork early summer day. πŸ˜β˜€οΈπŸ’¨β˜”οΈ It's been a while since I've had a little mooch around the Realm with camera in hand. Here some of my favourite nooks, treasures and special pieces for the day that's in it πŸ’š

A little video for ye today, featuring the beautiful flowing ceramic art of Ceramica Nomade. This is our second delivery as the first pretty much sold out in the first week. Gorgeous rich colour, designs that honour and revere the magic and wonder of Mama Earth in her many forms; from air to earth to water. Each piece has many functions ~ altar offering dishes, wall plates, cacao bowls, tealight holders, plant pots, sacred crystal dishes, the list goes on 😊 Another wonderful new stockist for the Realm πŸ’šπŸ’š

Well have I got something special to share with ye all today. I'm thrilled to bits to present the exquisitely beautiful work of Away with the Faeries, aka Laoise McCormack, our newest stockist.

Another West Cork local, Laoise makes Faerie Houses, Faerie Frames and little Faerie Reading Nooks from sensitively foraged foliage. Created with tree logs, moss, shells, seagrass, leave, ferns, roots and flowers; each wonderful creation makes you want to dive into her tiny fae cosmos.

I'll be adding them to our website over the next few weeks... if we haven't sold them by then! πŸ§šβ€β™€οΈπŸ’š

Greetings lovely people, firstly thank you all for your beautiful wishes and messages over the past week. I do feel so blessed to be part of such a wonderful, loving community of people. πŸ₯°

And so on to today's post, which I'm pretty excited about. 😁Over the past few months, our talented local alchemist Shannon, from Alchemilla Herbcraft, has been busy cooking up some new magickal potions. These have been intentionally created with spiritual work in mind. To deepen connection; for emotional release; reclaiming personal sovereignty and sacred journey work amongst other properties.

They come in the form of Herbal Nectars and Herbal Ceremonial Smoking Blends ~ both of which are available in the Realm and online. I can personally recommend the GrΓ‘ nectar for emotional healing and release. I was a lucky guinea pig to test it out and found it immeasurably supportive for my own personal healing journey. πŸ’–

Shannon is also running a workshop here next month; Solar Power and Sacred Oils. Head on over to our Woodsman's Glade page to check it out. And speaking of workshops... the ethereally lovely Alice Halliday has a very special workshop on this Sunday 10th to create your own Beltane Flower Crown. Alice's workshops have been running for many years and are an absolute delight; a chance to explore your creativity and femininity. She always holds a beautiful space and brings suitcases full of treasures to delve into; finding the perfect combination of materials just for you. At time of writing there are a couple of spots still available, so go on, spoil yeself 🌸

Hi everyone, apologies for the social media silence, but as I'm sure you all know, this weekend is the 1st anniversary of Craig's passing and it's been a tough week. However, it's also Beltane, which was his very favourite of all the festivals... and of course he would choose to pass at this most magickal time of year with all of nature in her glory and fullness. πŸ₯€

And so I'd like to present our Beltane window for this year. I found some old photos of the very first window we created, back in 2020 when we were in lockdown. This window is in homage to that incredible time, when Mother Nature delivered an amazing Springtime and so many hedgerows were lush with Hawthorn and Spring blossoms.

This window features the beautiful Art of Naomi Cornock, the ethereal flower crown art of Alice Halliday, the sacred bronze statues of the Lord and Lady of the Wild Wood, with matching banners by Painting Dreams; and the magickal delicate blooms of the lady of Spring, beloved Hawthorn.

Blessed Be πŸ’šπŸ”₯

What a lot of weather we've got today! It's the sort of day to be hunkered down at home with a cosy fire on and a huge pot of tea on the go. I'm going to be closing early today at 3pm to do just that, but in the meantime... I'd like to present something I've been working on quietly for a couple of months and the first sacred work I've created in a number of years. πŸ₯°

These are a collection of five Goddess Ritual Sets; honouring five goddesses from different parts of the world through time. Each has been very intentionally created ~ from the choice of the crystal beads used; the colours of the clay carefully blended and moulded for the pendants & totems; the combination of essential oils; and the particular lunation each one has been completed under. The idea is to walk in the energy of each sacred goddess to bring self empowerment, deep healing, soulful connection and spiritual purpose to your life. You may be called to one or more of these goddesses; Diana, Freyja, Gaia, Lilith and Morrigan.

Each ritual set comes with an explanation scroll, a small gift and is presented in a gift box. With my blessings πŸ’›

Well today I'm a little excited to introduce you to the divinely feminine ceramic art of Ceramica Nomade; aka Cristina Bonetti, our brand new stockist. Featuring our first delivery of a selection of her dishes, bowls and plates; all of which are perfect to hold your special treasures or simply to decorate your sacred space. 🌼πŸͺΆπŸ¦š

Cristina works in the liminal space between ether and matter, slowly creating each piece individually in layers ~ from free forming the clay, etching in each unique design by hand Sgraffito style and then building in soft colours and tones. Her pieces are flowing and tactile, reflecting the beauty of our natural world in the forms of flowers, birds, creatures from the sea and air and delicate whimsical goddesses. Each little bowl, dish or plate is a celebration of Mother Earth in all her forms. Delighted to have her beautiful work in the Realm, welcome Cristina πŸ’šπŸ’š

And so here we are at the Spring Equinox, and down here in West Cork at least; we have glorious sunshine to celebrate it. I'm in the process of building a medicine wheel in the garden, and I think it's time to bless it with the first outdoor sacred fire of the year. πŸ”₯

Here in the Realm, many fine things are apparating in on a daily basis; with the promise of many more fine things in the coming weeks. Today sees the return of our ever popular Viking Axes and finely forged Medieval Knives; gorgeous Printed Leather Journals for the spellcasters, poets, artists and scribes amongst you; and the surprise re-appearance of CoCorrina's iconic Dream Journal which we thought was finished, but has been re-released πŸ’›

Sending my warmest blessings to ye all for a beautiful, sun-filled Spring Equinox if you're north of the equator, or a golden Autumn Equinox if you're south πŸŒΈπŸβ˜€οΈ

Greetings from a bright and chilly late winter's day in West Cork. Makes a change to see some blue sky after the endless wet stuff falling from the sky. β˜€οΈ

So today I wanted to do a little feature on one of our most beloved stockists; Cocorrina. We're so proud to stock their heirloom quality magickal treasures of Tarot & Runes and sumptuous collectible books; all of which have been inspired by magic, alchemy and the great mysteries. They are renowned for their meticulous attention to detail with every single item they create. ✨

We've just taken delivery of their latest creation; The Renais Tarot. Inspired by 15th Century Master E-Series Tarocchi, this Renaissance inspired deck is based on the one of the earliest incarnations of the Tarot, predating the well known Rider-Waite structure. Consisting of 50 stunning gilded cards with gorgeous artwork, this is truly another jewel to add to your collection.

Alongside their library of ancient folklore tales; heart shaped books of poetry, flowers and charms; heirloom journals, Rune and Tarot histories and ofcourse their signature 2026 Eden Journal, there's plenty to feast your eyes on πŸ˜πŸ’›
