Welcome to Spirit of
Old! We hand craft wands, staffs and pottery items made from the
finest materials gathered from many mystical and ancient places
around southern Britain - Celtic hillforts, ancient forests and
various megalithic sites. The special twisty shape forms by natural
growth, the interaction between the wood and wild vine. You can find
out more about the materials we use and the area they come from
here.
We carry a large stock of ready-made items for you to browse through
and we're also happy to take orders for custom-made items.
Film: Wild Horses
of Newbury
A beautiful and very moving short
film dating from the Newbury bypass protests of 1996/7. This footage
was filmed by Mark Carroll during a very cold February morning at a
protest to prevent two Oak trees being
destroyed. As the chainsaws are started, two horses roaming free run
towards the felling. It's a very thought-provoking piece of footage
and gives us a glimpse of how animals haven't lost their sense of
the land and spirits of the trees as we humans have.
If you would like to contact us with queries or if you would like to
