The Ravenwood Story

Ravenwood Wildcraft

My name is Jennifer, founder of Ravenwood Wildcraft  and I love creating handmade, wildcraft Intention Candles!

Inspiration is a daily insight surrounded by the beauty of the natural world around me;  wild-ness, vast valleys, incredible mountain ranges, to  rain forests and ocean beaches.  I have a long passion and love for all plants, their medicinal and holistic properties, but most of all their magickal symbolic ritual meanings. I am often found wandering the beaches and forests collecting storm blown lichens, branches and berries; the act of being in the moment and watching the world in wonder and gratitude brings me so much joy; it is a mgical journey connecting us back to the cycles of the earth and her natural rhythms. Plants are some of my best friends and I would love to learn and share with you along the journey of creating and connecting plants to better health through simply natural body products  and the self-care ritual of lighting a candle with intention.

I am a healer with a small home based studio on Salt Spring Island (The Little Crow Spa located on Mansell Road) where I offer Aromatherapy massage, reiki, reflexology, hot stones as well as a certified Horticulturist with a love of creating food gardens. I have had the opportunity to study and work with many different healers and herbalists over the years and have long been passionate of the healing properties of wild foods and medicinal plants.   Collecting local, wildcrafted ingredients while out walking in the woods, exploring open fields and river edges is a favorite past time of mine, sustainability is a priority; picking only a few berries, leaves or petals from each plant as each is precious as food & resources for animals, insects and plant reproduction.  I make small, one-of-a-kind batches of natural, Intention Candles infused with wild plant allies, pure essential oils and moon soaked crystals, as I never know where my inspirations will take me!  Please check in regularly to see what new products are available with the seasons.

I hope you enjoy the end result as much as I enjoyed harvesting and creating them.

Love & Light,

Jennifer

Testimonials

“I’ve been using these products for about half a year now and I don’t think I can go back to using anything else! I use her Dark Moon tooth scrub daily and my dentist said they have never seen my teeth so clean. The facial scrubs are amazing; I work in kitchens and often struggle with breakouts due to all the oil and grease but since using the scrubs I have almost no problems, even working 12+ hours a day! Her soaps last ages and I love how all the ingredients are locally foraged. I would recommend these products to anyone and often give them as gifts to my loved ones.
