Willow Woods

I am Shawna a.k.a Willow Woods. I started out in very early teens learning runes, and reading many books in different areas of spirituality mainly witchcraft. I am very eclectic with my studies for the past 15 years, as I have interests in many areas. I will always be a student to spirituality and new ways that I am drawn to. I am a deep thinker, nature lover, empath that loves to help people. My spirit is also part warrior women. I have a side of quirky sense of humour and I am young at heart. I have a love of poetry, painting, crafts and anything I can learn to fix or build. I am a dreamer and have many dreams I would love to come true. My main dream is to one day have a small community of like minded people. To build off grid places to live, share, learn, heal, grow. Taking care of one and all. Living in harmony with Mother Earth. Dreams do come true.

As the saying goes, that’s all she wrote.

Love and Light.
