Ethics and sustainability

Our aim is to produce
finely crafted magickal items from the best materials with the least harm
caused to the environment.
We carefully select only the highest quality pieces of wood to work with
so you can be sure that a "Spirit of Old" wand or staff will be beautiful
and last a lifetime. We recommend regularly polishing your item with a
beeswax-based wood polish to protect the wood and keep its shine.
Most of the wood we work with comes from a large ancient coppiced woodland
in Hampshire. We ensure that it is collected over large areas rather than
a lot from any particular place to prevent any habitat being affected. We
select only one or two pieces from a tree at a time to prevent damage
which may adversely affect the growth of that tree.
Any wood which is collected from within or near to sites of magickal or
archaeological importance is gathered with respect and care to prevent any
damage to the tree and site.
As a way of further helping in the sustainability of the woodlands we have
cultivated tree seedlings and planted them at suitable locations in the
hope that they will, over time, grow into fine trees for future
generations. |
