Carrying the Flame of the Old Ways
About Sorcha Lunaris
I am Sorcha Lunaris, Keeper of the Ancient Craft, walking a path shaped by long study, lived practice, and deep listening to the land. My work brings together Irish folk tradition, lore, ritual practice, broader folk magic, Celtic spirituality, and modern witchcraft, held within a reverent relationship with place, memory, and the living Craft.
Through The Ancient Irish Craft™, I share writings, teachings, rituals, and guidance for those who feel drawn towards depth, continuity, and an authentic connection to this path.
The Ancient Irish Craft
The Ancient Irish Craft™ is the living vessel of this work — a sacred space shaped by tradition, storytelling, land-based practice, folk magic, spirituality, and modern witchcraft.
Here, these threads are honoured with care and thoughtfully carried into the present day. This path does not claim that every practice is ancient, unchanged, or purely Irish in origin. Instead, it approaches the Craft with reverence, honesty, and discernment, recognising the difference between recorded tradition, folklore, spiritual interpretation, and modern lived practice.
Through writings, guides, rituals, and teachings, The Ancient Irish Craft™ offers a reflective and spiritually grounded way to walk with these traditions today — with respect, depth, and relevance for the world we now live in.
Our Story —
A Living Tradition
The Ancient Irish Craft™ was born from a desire to honour the wisdom carried through Ireland’s folklore, landscape, seasonal customs, storytelling, and folk memory.
What began as a devotion to the Old Ways has grown into a living body of work — reflective writings, rituals, guides, and teachings shaped through study, practice, and ongoing relationship with the Craft.
Rather than treating tradition as something fixed behind us, this path listens for what still speaks: the old story that offers guidance, the folk custom that carries meaning, the ritual act that steadies the present, and the quiet wisdom that becomes visible through return.
Through The Ancient Irish Craft™, these strands are gathered with care so that seekers today may walk this path with integrity, reflection, and grounded awareness.
Our Mission —
To Keep the Flame Alive
Our mission is to keep the flame of The Ancient Irish Craft™ steadily burning — offering guidance to those who feel called to walk with Irish folk tradition, Celtic spirituality, broader folk magic, and modern witchcraft in a grounded and respectful way.
Through thoughtful writings, rituals, guides, and teachings, this work supports a path that is reverent, honest, and alive. It is open to those who approach the Craft with sincerity, humility, discernment, and care.
Our Guiding Principles
Authenticity
Rooted in Irish lore, folk tradition, cultural memory, land-based practice, and Celtic spirituality, we approach the Craft with care, respect, and thoughtful interpretation. We honour the voices of land, story, ancestry, and tradition while remaining honest about what is recorded, what is remembered, and what is carefully reimagined for modern practice.
Wisdom
Through writings, and guided study, we share knowledge that weaves together folk magic, Celtic spiritual insight, lore, mythology, seasonal awareness, and modern witchcraft. This wisdom is offered slowly and reflectively, supporting practitioners who seek depth, discernment, and lived connection rather than surface-level trends.
Quiet Companionship
The Craft is not walked in isolation, even when much of the work is inward. Through The Craft Journal, The Craft Guides, Craft Teachings, and shared rhythm, The Ancient Irish Craft™ offers a place of steady return for those drawn to the Old Ways with sincerity, respect, and care.
