Friends, three years ago, the ancestors called me to the path of the doll-maker, with the message to breathe spirit into wool and bring my ancestors into forms that I could carry with me in this physical realm. As I continued to refine my craft, I began to hear a deeper message - a whisper - calling me to the path of the death worker. I went through seasons of questioning, doubting, and even feared this calling - and now I’m ready to begin.

I believe that we need death workers now, more than ever, particularly as we witness the death of empires in real time.

You can read more about my journey to death work here.

The offering, the weaving, the magic spell…

🗝️ I created this doll to honor my death work, the Great Mother, and the ancestors who guide me. She holds the medicine of the edgewalker - the one who walks between the worlds. She is a psychopomp, her spirit connected to Hekate and Mercury. You might glimpse her as she flutters at the edges of your vision while you walk down a forest path. She is a guide, meeting you in dreams and walking alongside you as you journey into the dark.

🕯️ My hope and intention is to raise money to support my death work journey and to cover a portion of the cost of my apprenticeship with the Nine Keys School of Death Arts (valued at $3,500)

🖤 The Edgewalker has a heart of mugwort, hawthorn, yarrow, usnea, motherwort, and salmon bone - medicine for threshold walkers and those who journey in liminal spaces, for protection, healing, spirit connection, and nervous system tending.

🌬️ Like all of my dolls, she was birthed in sacred space and needle felted by hand, over many hours, with love and intention. She is valued at $350.

May she be a blessing.

*Momento Mori | She wears a howlite skull bead in her hair, a reminder that life births death and death births life.*

Her hair is adorned with bells and tied with hand-spun, hand-dyed nettle thread. She wears a spiral necklace, a reminder of the cyclical nature of life.
