So here goes.. As sad as it is, as sad as I am, Hedgewitch closed the doors in Vere street today for the last time. I have a tonne of personal reasons for doing so, its bad timing (or divine timing)- however you want to look at it. ✨️
I always wondered if I could juggle my crazy life with holding down a shop as a single parent. I am glad I got the opportunity & im glad I gave it a shot or I would have kicked myself, it would have always been a itch that needed scratching.
Turns out my family need me now more than ever after 2025's crazy turn of events, so I decided to put my career on hold to study at home with my daughter and help my two boys out.
Its hard being a one man band & I know that many of you never got to visit the shop. Going into the 4th year looked promising after a cracking January (thats a first!) Workshops were kicking off and I finally managed to get the place looking how I wanted! Typical. It became a little sanctuary for some.
Im greatful for my family who supported my big idea after 6 years of travelling for fairs and festivals. Thankyou each & everyone of you who have made a purchase to my small business.🙏 Greatful for all the collaboration between makers, Reiki, Tarot & local Authors. 🙏 Greatful for those who never got to come visit but shared the hell out of my posts on social media. Greatful for my friends who championed me all the way. 🙏
I have made so many friends for life. Watched people start their journey & I think that is the most comforting & rewarding thing. I might not have had a prime spot but the right people do seek you out. There are so many weird an wonderful people out there and I thank you for finding me. 🙏
Thankyou for making the tail end of 2025 a good one, the people who attended my crazy chaotic workshops 😜 I had so much fun.
Too many people to mention, to many people to thank, you know who you are🙏 and one customer in particular for setting off the waterworks unexpectedly when I was holding it together no names mention Al ! 😆
All said, I will still be selling my soaps an balms and bits an bobs online, I do have some foregging things planned for the year. But for now I need some time outdoors with the family & time to regather.
Lastly - Big apologies for my awful time keeping & opening hours, I promise in a few years I will hopefully have paid members of staff! Haha!
Lets see what this Crazy year of the fire horse has in store...
I will catch you all again soon -
So Mote It Be
Bless It Be - Jodie L Hedgewitch.
