WYSE WITCH MICHELLE
I am a practising Cornish Wyse woman, published author, Priestess of Kernow, High Priestess, Völva and Druid who lives with my beloved family in the sacred heart of Cornwall on the shimmering Lizard Peninsula.
The powerful ancestral magic that I have been weaving from birth and before, is governed by the elemental spirits of the Land, Sea and Sky and steeped in Celtic, Scandinavian and West Country Folklore and magical practices.
I have organised and facilitated many events, workshops, courses and retreats in Old Ways magic, Celtic tree wisdom and Elder Futhark rune lore throughout the UK for over thirty five years.
I am practicing Völva and have been working magically with the Blessed Norns, Freya and the Elder Futhark runes for many years and offer private rune and oracle guidance and Scandinavian Galdyr empowerment healing via Zoom/GoogleHangout or at any events I may attend.

My seven year Cauldron of Changes global spell and some personal charms are now also being permanently housed here and at Gwythi An Pystri - The Cabinet of Folklore and Magic in Falmouth, West Cornwall.
MEDIA & ARTICLES
I have appeared as a witch representing Wyse Witch Cornwall in the media a number of times and had the pleasure of being interviewed by Clive Anderson, Fern Britton and Jonathon Ross for their TV series about the myths and legends of Cornwall, all filmed on location here in sacred Kernow. I was invited to talk about Cornish sea witchery interviewed on the beach by Fern Britton for episode one of her Channel 5 series 'My Cornwall' as part of Wyse Witch Cornwall. During this interview Fern revealed to me for the first time publicly that she had recently witnessed a family of Cornish piskies appear before her eyes and then magically morph into a family of grouse! I really wasn't expecting her to say this with as much authenticity and wonder. And I had no doubt that this was an absolute truth, why? Because the Fair Folk are as real to me as you are, just because you cannot see something doesn't mean it's not there, ask Fern Britton, she knows!
EDUCATOR & MENTOR
I am a qualified Level 3 Forest School Teacher who was founder of 'Naturekidz' , funded by the National Lottery in 2007 to bring a combination of Forest School skills and magical re-enactment role play to schools and the woodlands of Dartington and Sharpham Estates in South Devon as part of Wyse Witch Cornwall efforts to empower young minds to engage natural magic.
I was also a freelance storyteller and workshop coordinator for Tepee and Sparc for many years and an outdoor natural play events coordinator for South Hams District Council.
I also helped to fully fund and setup Oakwod (Little Acorns) Forest School in Denbury, Devon.
What is a Wytch?
For me, to be a wytch is to be a Wyse woman or man, a healer, a Diviner and a traverser of Realms, who has knowledge of herblore and works magically with the unseen natural forces of the Land, Sea and Sky to enhance the well-being of their community and the Earth.
The word witch derives from Old English and has two genders, the female being wicce meaning wise woman, and the male being wicca meaning wise man.
Wytch means Wyse!
