Echoes of Old Gardens
Ritual, divination and herbcraft
Echoes of Old Gardens welcomes you into a world where overgrown paths and fading petals hold the whispers of the past. Ancient rituals, divination practices and herbal crafts blossom together — rooted in European folklore, old-world charm and quiet reverence.
​
Within this space you will discover a magazine of spiritual and ritual practices; a school of cartomancy for those drawn to the language of cards; and a growing apothecary filled with tinctures, teas, secret herbal codes and botanical enchantments.
Explore the hidden dimensions of Herbal magic, Tarot, Oracle decks, Scrying, and Pendulums — all offered through both practical tools and poetic depth. We bridge modern intuition with the esoteric wisdom buried in forgotten books and ancestral knowledge.
​
Whether you are cultivating a personal ritual, learning to read the cards or foraging petals in your city garden — Echoes of Old Gardens invites you to grow alongside nature and spirit, guided by the echoes that still bloom from sacred soil.

Oswald Wirth is an important, but often overlooked, contributor to the modern tarot tradition (modern as in post 1850). Many bypass his writings because they are not beginners level. I have made an educational video series about his views on the Major Arcana, in an attempt to make his findings more accessible for everyone.

These four videos lay out the principles of his system, including somehow an alternative Fool's Journey. ​ Oswald Wirth shows how the Major Arcana made more sense before A.E. Waite tossed Strength and Justice around!
