Turning Wheel Course: The Witch’s Hearth — Keeping the Sacred Flame of Winter

Journey into the ancient Irish tradition of the hearth-flame — the sacred fire that warms, protects, and blesses the home during the dark season. Rooted in the lore of Brigid, the household spirits, and the winter rites of the wise women, this course teaches you how to keep a living flame of peace, protection, and magic through the quiet months of winter.

​

As the days shorten and the land grows still, the hearth becomes more than warmth — it becomes the centre of spirit, a place where blessings are spoken, ancestors remembered, and daily magic renewed.

 

What You’ll Learn:

• The historical and spiritual role of the hearth in ancient Ireland.

• How to create a physical or symbolic hearth flame in your home.

• Blessing charms and herbal offerings traditionally used to protect the dwelling.

• How to honour and work with the household spirit as guardian and guide.

• How to build and maintain a Witch’s Hearth Altar for ongoing daily magic.

 

Course Format:

Main Course 16 page PDF (view-only) filled with lore, teachings, and practices.
Printable 5 page companion workbook journal with guided reflections, exercises and ritual.
 

Why This Course Matters:
The hearth is the heart of the Irish Craft — the flame of continuity passed from wise woman to witch, from ancestor to descendant.
To tend the hearth is to tend the soul.

To bless the flame is to bless all who dwell within its warmth.

This course will guide you to rekindle the ancient fire, protect your home, and carry the sacred flame of winter with devotion, steadiness, and quiet power.
