There's something mystical about the mists rolling across ancient standing stones, the whisper of oak leaves in a sacred grove, or the dance of moonlight on a still loch. These are the landscapes where Celtic witchcraft was born—a spiritual practice deeply intertwined with the natural world and the changing rhythms of the seasons.
