"Delighted by the wealth of historical context given here - so helped in the grounding of my own understanding of hearth magic (or kitchen witchcraft, as my dad introduced it to me when I was little). Especially enjoyed the section on how hearth magic can be practiced in our modern world & time. Well done, go raibh míle maith agat!"

Frequently Asked Questions
"I was fortunate enough to attend this class live. The topic is of great interest to me - I do at least a handful of the crafts Amy discussed already, and have an interest in more. Learning about how these crafts fit into the culture and daily lives of Irish folk (and in many cases, still do) was fascinating, and really helps flesh out my view and comprehension of Irish culture which of course is important to me as I try to have a well-rounded understanding of not just Irish deities and spirituality, but the context in which it all developed and carried on through generations.
