We are pioneering a new way to enjoy maple syrup.ĮL: We understand you use syrup for more than pancakes. Our focus is to invoke magic in our customers and inspire them to push their own boundaries in their kitchen witch recipes. As part of our autumn launch we’re offering a syrup based on the voodoo Haitian god Baron Samedi, and we blended organic mango and spicy habanero, both foods of Haiti as well as popular offerings to the Baron. Something that accompanied the intention placed within the syrup. We started our 2020 Summer collection with a handful of gods and goddesses that inspire us in our personal magic, like Hecate, Odin, Circe, and Freya.ĮL: How did you come up with your various flavors?īen: Well, we had to dig into the lore to find something in nature that represented the divine or spiritual aspect on the front of the bottle. We are the only and original witchcraft maple syrup company. Having a god or goddess, a pagan celebration or folklore icon brings a certain energy to every bottle that otherwise it wouldn’t have. Can you talk about that?Ĭhristina: We wanted to invoke a strong feeling of empowerment and association with our flavors. In late 2019, Ben and I carried out a test run of our pioneering magical creation, and it sold out in a matter of days.ĮL: Each of your syrups is associated with a god or goddess. I was performing a bath meditation one day when I had a eureka moment: that we could take something so natural, so organic, so pure, and imbue it with magic to aid people in their daily lives. My family home has many acres of maple trees, also known as sugar bush, that our neighbor taps to create maple syrup. How did you guys get started making your own?Ĭhristina: I grew up in Vermont and have always enjoyed pure Vermont maple syrup.

It has a deep and profound meaning, which is why it is so good for rituals, rites, incantations, chants, invocations, spirit walks, trance work, and spells. It’s important that in comparison to other sweeteners, it’s very minimally processed, sustainable, environmentally friendly, doesn’t harm other animals in its manufacturing, is not mass produced, and supports small business.īen: To us, it is as natural as water, and due to the fact that it is produced by living trees grounded deep into the earth, it is so much more a beautiful thing than what is made by the hands of men. Consuming the energetic wisdom held in the tree blood can only be a magical experience. Trees are inherently grounding and rooted in nature, and we believe that as you consume maple syrup you are also getting some of those benefits. My practice is more shamanistic-I call on Norse gods and spirits to aid me and others-and am excited to bring my knowledge of mythology, animism, and heathenry to WytchWood.ĮL: What is so magical about maple syrup?Ĭhristina: As with everything in life, maple syrup holds energy. After spending over a decade working in naturopathic medicine and herbalism I’m excited to bring that knowledge into our infusions.īen: I have a mixed Norwegian and Scottish background but grew up on the rural outskirts of London, England. I’ve always been drawn to the energy of the forest and her inhabitants. We believe there’s a lot of magic and lore in tree blood and that it can be used in any kitchen witch recipe or as part of your rituals.Ĭhristina: I’m a native Vermonter with magical roots in green and forest witchcraft. In fact our motto is “Derived from nature, Inspired by witchcraft.” We offer various witchy wares and handcrafted goods with a focus on botanically infused pure Vermont maple syrup.

Christina: We created WytchWood in 2019 out of the love for nature and the old ways.
