The Greene Chapel is an alcove of witchcraft, folk magic, spirit work and folklore from the Celtic lands. My name is Briar, and I will be your host. Here I offer a variety of esoteric services as well as occasional wares, and talk all things theurgic and occult - sharing deep delves in long articles, snippets of personal practices and ritual observances, current outlook on magical explorations, and other similar musings as seasons pass.
Counselling with a Fairy Seer
Much like a physical wound, spiritual ailments need tending.
Skilled in diagnosing and remediating otherworldly afflictions, I specialize in the facilitation of mutually beneficial and fulfilling spirit relationships, and in the mending of problematic, difficult, or haunted ones.
My primary spirit pacts and allegiances belong with the Pale Ones under the hills : I am a trained initiate in fairy doctoring β a spirit-based tradition of Irish fairy-seership, drawing from fairy power to act as a medium-link, an intercessor or ambassador between the numinous and the mundane, and perform what is primarily a healing art.
