Suzi Crockford
Maker of Ritual and Sacred Objects, Talismans, Amulets and Charms.
My work has its roots in the knowing that we are part of a sentient world, kin with all else that is. I believe that if we can find our deep connection to 'All that Is', if we can remember that we are simply one part of a living wholeness - and act accordingly - we can co-create the world our hearts long for. One that sustains us all. My creations are an interweaving of the sacred and the ordinary, made in the liminal places between this reality and 'the Other'. They have at their foundation an unshakeable belief in the holiness of all of creation.
I work in partnership with the Spirits to create magical tools which will facilitate a strengthening of our connection with both the seen and unseen worlds. Typically these creations (drum, rattle, etc.) help us in meeting the inhabitants of our archetypal landscape and traversing the territory of our soul, which brings us into deep connection with our birthright of belonging to a sacred and sentient world. These tools democratise our connection to the Spirits and the Otherworld, dissolving the boundaries for a moment and giving us solid ground upon which to stand. Our relationship with them can be a transformative alchemical journey: our destination is Earth Consciousness, bringing about healing change for the collective and for our Earth. Our most important journey is the one in which we discover our true selves - the 'Us' that are a reciprocal part of the sensuous interconnected community of the interwoven, interdependent web of life.
As a creator of drums, rattles, sistrums, poppets and Faery Tambourines (these are the things I make most frequently) with hide, stones and feathers, metal, cloth, plants and wood, I am experienced in making unique sacred objects, gifts, tools and instruments as guided by Spirit for the individual. They are in service to the numinous, to the great cauldron of our healing. Please don't hesitate to ask if there's something I might be able to make for you. I also make individual talismans, amulets and charms, and sets of runes and oghams from storm fallen wood - there are no pictures here yet but they are coming.
I share writing and photographs at http://www.patreon.com/A_Dartmoor_Witch and also have a podcast discussing "life, the universe and everything" with Vicar Maggy Whitehouse at WiseWomen:TheVicarAndTheWitch (this is a Podbean link, if you're not on Podbean all episodes can be found on Spotify and some on YouTube).
