Join us for an enlightening livestream discussion on "Welsh Folk Witchcraft," featuring Mhara Starling, a prominent figure in the resurgence and preservation of Welsh witchcraft traditions. This interview delves deep into the heart of Wales' rich magical heritage, exploring its unique practices and beliefs and the significance of its landscape in contemporary witchcraft.

Mhara Starling was born in North Wales, raised on the Isle of Anglesey, and is a native Welsh speaker. She is a practitioner of Swyngyfaredd, a magical practice rooted in Welsh culture, and she runs her own coven today in the Welsh marches. In her native language, Mhara refers to herself as a Swynydd, a historical term for practitioners of folk magic which aided their community. The closest English translation to Swynydd would be a Welsh Folk Witch. She is also a published author, and spends her time delivering workshops and talks at conferences, museums, and online.

This discussion will not only offer insights into the practical aspects of Welsh folk magic. Still, it will also address the broader implications of preserving indigenous magical traditions in a globalised world. You should expect to learn about the role of folklore, myth, and legend in shaping the practices and beliefs of Welsh witchcraft and how these elements contribute to a deeper understanding of the natural and supernatural world.
