About Me

River (they/she) is a practicing Irish pagan witch, candlemaker, writer, and grief weaver. They are a devotee of Brighid-- the goddess of fire, healing, crafts, and keening-- an ancestral grief practice. River makes candles, ritual tools, and spells with seasonal and Irish Pagan themes for spiritual work, and write about grief, magic, trauma, and politics in their newsletter and on Medium.

River is currently training under Francis Weller to become a community grief ritualist and is a student at the Irish Pagan School with Lora O'Brien and Jon O'Sullivan.

All candles are made from 100% beeswax and sourced locally. Herbs are grown or sourced locally and ethically. Each candle is unique and made through inspiration and spirit.
