Welcome to Weaving Wonderment.

I am Louise, the dreamer and creator of Weaving Wonderment.

I am Weaver & Spinner of both the seen and the unseen. I am a Death Doula, Grief Tender and a Gate Keeper. I hold and nurture the boundaries between human and non human worlds. I am a Creatrix. I am an Animist. I am a Hedgewitch. For ease I refer to myself as a Shamanic Practitioner, but my craft is more of this land, a Cunning Folk perhaps.

My essence is love and I find that love is both my start and my end of all things. And so, you can normally find me at the edge places, holding out love, because at our edges , at those threshold places, is always where the magic happens .

Over these pages I hope you will gather the threads of who I am and what I am bringing into being and if any of my work calls to your ‘ Soul’ then please reach out.

As I sit here, sorting out the threads to start weaving this tapestry of an Introduction I find myself wrestling with my human brain of what I think I should tell you about myself and my work, and the conversation my soul is yearning to have with you. So lets go with the Soul conversation and see where we end up.

I am a mother of two children, both now grown up and carving out wonderful lives for themselves, I am beyond proud of them. They have been and remain my greatest joy & truest of love. I live on the edge of a small village, on the edge of Shrewsbury, Shropshire with my incredibly wonderful partner Glen, our 2 dogs, Bertie and George, our Cat Tilly and our, 2 chickens, Gerturde and Vera. Our home is surrounded by the beautiful Shropshire countryside and we are circled by 13 Ancient Oak Trees. In the Woodlands to the East and to South live the Buzzards and the Owls and in Oak tree opposite my home is often where the Crows and Rooks gather, without fail , when change is on the breeze. To the front of my home is a Water Well, I have always had a Well on or by the places I live. In some other world or in time gone by I suspect I was a Well Maiden.

My relationship with my home and the land I am guardian of has been tended, loved and nurtured intensely over the past few years and I have an deep and on going love affair with the rise of fall of the contours of this land like no other. This land knows me by my scent, by the way my feet fall as I walk, by the sound of my breath and I know these lands the same way. I know who starts the bird song in the morning, I know how the fox moves and where the Owl hunts and I know when there is change, discomfort, unrest or joy on the horizon or bubbling up from the ground. I have mapped the seen and the unseen places of these lands. These lands are weaved into me and I into them. We are one.

My life was not always this way and there has been alot of unpicking of threads and reweaving of yarns. There was a threshold moment where I realised that there must be another way of living, rather than the contemporary, consumer driven, industrialized western world that became so intent with the ‘I’, the ‘We’ had steadily become bypassed. And so I set my course, following the stars, with the wind beside me and the rain at my back I began a rediscovery of who I was meant to be when I was plucked from the places between the stars.

As I walked myself back, unpeeling the layers I had been given, and composting down the old stories I no longer needed, the work I am called to do glistens like stellar star maps in the sky, calling me to the edge places. So here I am holding all the rites that have been lost, reclaiming what we have given away and what has been taken from us. In these pages you will find information about each of the different threads of my works and what working with me might look like and the adventures we can have.

My work is based in Death and Grief , Nature & Animmism, reclaiming tradtional and forgotten crafts, my own creations are available to buy in my shop or made by your own hands in one of my 1:1 Creation days. In all of my offerings my Shamanic and Animistic ways are gently weaved and entwined to deepen and support the healing of ourselves, our Ancestors and of Mother Earth. I am yet to find something more powerful than being witness by all our More than Human Relations as we walk ourselves back home. - a Transcendant experience

I look forward to meeting you by the Fireside.

Much Love

Louise xx
