Brett Hollyhead, a Welsh Marches folk witch, shares insights on witchcraft as a practice of liberation, connection to landscape, and challenging oppressive systems. Brett's practice combines Welsh folklore with practical magic while celebrating the liminal identity of the Welsh Marches borderlands.
• Defining a witch as a custodian of wisdom who straddles between spiritual and physical worlds
• Exploring the Welsh Marches as a hybrid cultural landscape shaped by centuries of cross-pollination
• Using crochet as a primary magical tool connected to ancient feminine deities across cultures
• Challenging binary gender systems in paganism by embracing nature's inherent queerness
• Building community through pole dance teaching that emphasizes body positivity and empowerment
• Finding power in Welsh cultural identity and connecting to the goddess Havren/Sabrina
• Combining activism with craft through "craftivism" to support environmental causes
• Sharing the folklore of the Reekin Giant, demonstrating how landscape shapes cultural stories
• Promoting inclusivity and accessibility within magical communities
