The Ancient Magpie – Away with the fae. Creator of magical things.

WORDS OF THE FAE

Get lost in the magick. From spirituality and Fae to self love and the divine feminine.

POETRY OF THE FOREST

Take my hand, child. Let us leave our thoughts for a while.

Follow me o n instagram for your regular dose of magick!

Do you have a favourite oracle deck? Perhaps you have a particular ritual you do alongside each card pull, or a special object you keep nearby to ground you when shuffling the deck. Perhaps you’re a tarot-only kinda dude. Let me know as I love hearing how other witchy peeps explore their craft! 🧙🏻‍♀️

Spring is upon us and I’ve bagged a spot at these incredible events hosted by fabulous folk full of whimsy and magick! These markets are each close to my heart for different individual reasons and I can’t wait to bump into you there and share my latest creations with you. 🤓

“Deepen” has quietly emerged as my new word for 2026.

The wheel is turning toward Yule and my studio is full of spirit dolls, altar items and jewellery made from bone, thread and stone - each awaiting new homes. I’m getting ready for a run of winter markets and would love to share my new creations with you lovely lot.

These Spirit Dolls are the heart of my work, created through ritual, play, curiosity and intuition.

Every creatress needs her familiar. This pretty spaniel is my sweet Nala. While I stitch spirit dolls and shape talismans, she keeps watch from her stinky little basket throne beside me in my studio corner. 🥰 🕯️🐾

This Samhain I’ve been honouring release. 🖤 Letting go of the need to be palatable and dimming my own fire. I’m also letting go of pushing too far, an old habit of ignoring my body’s whispers until they become shouts.

Still feeling the buzz from Saturday’s @nightfairmarket Samhain event at the beautiful @theminories in Colchester - my best market to date! 🥹 💃🏼🍂🪶🖤

So, I weave now… 🧶 Been spending lots of time at the loom lately, the softness of weaving has been a slow, grounding magick and I can’t flipping wait to see what crafty creations form at my fingertips. Soft fibres, seasonal colours and the usual shenanigans in my chaos corner. It’s all about the balance, baby.
