Episode 1: The Cunning Folk
Before witches were feared, there were the cunning folk — village healers, blessers, and protectors who worked with herbs, prayers, and quiet magic. In this episode, we explore who they were, how they served their communities, and how trusted wisdom slowly became dangerous knowledge. This is the story of the women who kept villages alive… until fear turned them into witches.About us

We're Paula and Tracey, two nature-loving souls drawn to the mystery and magic of the old ways. We've always felt a deep connection to the cycles of the earth, the wisdom of herbs, and the quiet power of spiritual traditions.

Between us, we bring a unique blend of perspectives to our craft. Paula is a former mental health nurse, with years of experience supporting people through life's most challenging moments. Tracey is a former Art Psychotherapist, having witnessed firsthand the profound healing that can unfold when creativity, symbolism, and ritual are given space to breathe. Together, we're endlessly fascinated by the psychology of belief—how the rituals we create, the symbols we hold, and the intentions we set can genuinely shape our inner worlds and resilience.

Roaming Raven is our way of celebrating that enchantment—curating witchy, Wiccan-inspired, and gothic treasures that honour the beauty of ritual, shadow, and folklore. Whether it's something for your altar, incense for cleansing, or a small token to remind you of your own strength, we believe these objects can anchor us to something wilder and wiser.

Think of us as your fellow wanderers, gathering tools for a journey we're all on: finding meaning, embracing nature's rhythms, and adding a little magic to the everyday.

May your path be curious and kind.
