Silkie O‘ Ishi is the High Priestess of Grailwood coven working in its own version of a Brythonic Faerie Tradition.
In the latter part of the ’90s, Grailwood Coven was born of an established coven, much like an illegitimate child in a Thomas Hardy novel. This coven grew to adolescence, bright for its age, tender, funny, and thirsting to evolve in the Western Mystery Tradition.
The witches of Grailwood Coven follow the movements of earth, moon, sun, and stars amidst the steel towers of our huge stone city of New York. This island, surrounded by rivers and salt sea, is one of the hubs of the human world; it could be easy here to forget or ignore the song of the Trees, and the Animal Spirits, and the voices of the Ancestral Past.
As we perceive that mystical link with all, both manifest and unmanifest, past future and present, of worlds seen and unseen, we must step up to the responsibility of modifying our behavior, to treat with equity and respect all that is in existence. This is the dream of our Craft. This is the work of our Times.
