She shares information on topics such as: Paganism and Celtic Hedge Witchcraft on her Starry Eyed Witch Youtube channel since 2012. Joey has been serving the Pagan community with videos, books, poetry and Witch items for over ten years. Trained as a Priestess of Morrigan, she has a unique perspective on integrating Celtic Paganism for a modern age. Her latest book is: “Celtic Hedge Witchery: A Modern Approach.” She lives in Plymouth, England. *Stay tuned until the end where Joey takes us on a powerful guided visualization to our own sacred grove*Originally from Nottingham Shire, Joey always felt at home in forests and in nature and loved writing. She was doing Witchy things before she knew what the term Witch meant and she was obsessed with Nature as a kid  but later in life she realized that she was a Celtic Witch.Joey developed an interest in the Morrigan early and she says the Morrigan was always with her and Joey got to know her mythology and combined with her own personal gnosis she was self - initiated as a Priestess of the Morrigan. Joey deeply identified with Morrigan’s shapeshifting aspect. And being a Hedge Witch fit Joey as the label that she naturally gravitated towards. She believes that Hedge Witchery crosses the boundary between spirit working and green witchcraft/herbalism. Joey was always fascinated by hedgerows and drawn to them growing up in rural England finding them to be very magical and liminal. Hedgerows are quintessentially British and seen mostly at the edges of farming fields and woodlands. They are half man made and half wild grown structures of trees and bushes that became living fences creating whole ecosystems and habitats within them. Joey tells us she believes hedgerows are more than a physical boundaries. There is folklore about Witches ”jumping the Hedge” which is a phrase meaning when we cross over into the Spirit world or go on astral travels. This means that Hedgerows aren't just a physical thing. They can be mysterious gateways to the Otherworlds. Joey believes that a Hedge Witch is a spirit worker first and foremost who is very connected to the Earth including trees, plants, animals in the physical world and also with the Spiritual Ecosystem-all the spirits that are interconnected. We chat about creativity, inspiration and being led by  the universal force of Awen. Joey’s book "Celtic Hedge Witchery: A Modern Approach” grew out of years of her Hedge Witchcraft practice and all the things she's been writing about in her blogs, poetry and creating videos around. It is a beautiful love letter to the spiritual path that Joey has been walking on and shaping.How can we become Hedge Witches wherever we are in the world? Joey tells us that the memory of the destroyed physical eco systems of the Hedgerows live on in the spiritual world and that we can tap into those spirits wherever we are and create a connection to the divine even if we are not near an actual hedgerow. Going on guided inner journeys and  meditations is a good way to start your practice for this Joey tells us. We all have a sacred grove within us and we can co-create with the universe within ourselves at any time or place.
