Another colleague-friend who bridges worlds: the phenomenal astrolater, witch, cunning woman, and fairy doctor, Briar, whose blog is one of the finest when it comes to the aforementioned topics. Briar’s research and fidelity to her gods, her spirits, the pale courts of the people beneath the hills, to the terrestrial and celestial sea, and to the cultivation of genuine wisdom and wonder, is matched by her quest to do justice to the integrity, the honesty, and the dignity those same pacts demand of her. Beyond her tremendous writing, Briar is one of two people that I recommend specifically for matters regarding the Fair Folk, and her services can be procured on the same website that hosts her blog.

Briar is a rare bird of prophecy who rides the cross winds of both eloquence and substance, landing to gracefully deliver news from the Otherworld and its many spirits. My reading with her was anything but straightforward, having spent many years on my spiritual path and coming to a point of knotty tension. Ever so gently, Briar helped to find the master string that needed unwinding first, and attended the many twists and turns with great finesse and precision. The reading she delivered confirmed a great many things I had not shared with her, even going as far as to use precise wording that I myself have received from my spirits on many occasions. Like a good seer following and untangling the spiritual strings so they may resound again, Briar went beyond confirming what I already knew or had inklings of and delivered a heartfelt (but much needed) course correction from my spirit court. It is a rare and much needed skill for seers to deliver news that contradicts what their clientele believes, for their better edification—and Briar has mastered this craft. From merely contacting Briar to the delivery of the reading, there was a symbiotic shifting of my world both inner and outer towards a right course that I could feel in my bones and my heart, with substantial mundane evidence of this meeting of power that shifted worlds. I will return again to Briar for further guidance when the time comes. If you have the chance to work with Briar, I cannot recommend her services highly enough.

I had a reading with Briar regarding a spirit in my practice. Briar used a method she called ‘visionary cartomancy’, which is essentially a mix of scrying and cartomancy. I found this to be incredibly effective, as not only was she able to discern information about the spirit through the cards, but her skill as a spirit worker and a scryer also allowed her to experience a direct interaction with the spirit. As a diviner, Briar was also able to pick out details about the spirits that lined up with previous divinations that had be done on the spirit. There is no doubt in my mind about the accuracy of her reading. On top of this, Briar has proved herself to be incredibly professional both in the quality of her reading and the manner in which she communicates with her client. I would certainly recommend Briar to anyone who is in need of some spirit or occult-related guidance, especially on issues that has a fairy-like nature to them.

Briar is one of those rare examples of a practitioner whose talents include both accurate divining and the eloquence to relay them. To be read by Briar is to have the question at hand Seen, explored, and properly ascribed both meaning and dictation when the moment calls upon it. I am very pleased to have Briar look upon a spiritual shift in my personal house custom, a shift she both confirmed and expounded upon with the use of her runes. Briar is a pleasure to work with, and to know, and her divination is nothing short of testament to the very alive traditions of old European magics.

I have been lucky enough to book Briar for a few readings, and I’m always blown away by her sincerity, clarity, and compassion. She has always done the utmost to ensure that I as her client not only understand what steps she’s taken to arrive at her conclusions, but that I feel comfortable at every step and feel safe asking for clarifications. I’ve had readings from other practitioners that are very formulaic and cookie-cutter, whereas Briar truly tailors her readings as only a true artist can. If a reading is particularly hard — as they can be — she’s also gone out of her way to check in with me, so we can talk through any unexpected emotions or epiphanies. I’ve always been struck not only by the accuracy of her readings in a factual sense, but also in an esoteric one as well. She has a genuine gift, and it’s so incredible to experience.

I obtained a divination reading from Briar regarding the nature of one of my spirit familiars, and was absolutely blown away by the level of detail she was able to discern and include—which not only echoed and confirmed my own divination and experiences with the spirit (and that of others who had divined for me that I had not told her about), but also provided new insights that helped enrich my understanding of the spirit. In addition, her reading contained extremely helpful and actionable guidance for approaching the spirit, including what to be wary of, which I appreciate not just for its value, but also because it highlights her honesty when approaching readings, and the experience she has as a magical practitioner which lends itself particularly to divining for other practitioners and their spirits. I cannot recommend Briar’s readings enough due to the level of skill that is present in them, the depth and detail that she is able to uncover, and for her approach with the client—for she is not just honest, but also incredibly respectful of and sensitive to their circumstances and spirits, and capable of providing both insight and guidance in ways that feel exceptionally helpful.

Briar has tackled several divination requests for me. I am picky about readers, and I’ve returned to her time and again because I trust her skills, her delivery, and her clarity. No matter how vague or tangled the requests I’ve brought to her, Briar has always been able to guide me through them to precise, understandable information and actionable advice. She’s helped me gain the proper perspective on situations, clarified others’ motives and desires, and illuminated the path forward. When I feel trapped, stuck, or lost, Briar is the one to whom I turn. I know I can always trust her to deliver.

I sought Briar’s help concerning an important spirit who had come up in my practice, and I knew her to be a person who is incredibly discerning, goes about the work that she does with a lot of care and respect, and is specific with the words they choose. Given that this was all very new to me and I wanted to be careful with my actions, I trusted her with this as I knew she would give it to me straight. In turn, I was blown away by the care, the depth and generosity (as she ended up doing quite a bit of complementary research for things that came up) of the reading. She put a lot of effort into trying to understand me, my familiarity with this and the sort of path I’m on, so that she might help me in an effective way. She was able to see beings I hadn’t actually connected to this, let alone told her about, and relay their messages eloquently. Given all of this, together with the incredibly providential timing of the reading itself, I honestly just got the shivers and was deeply touched because of how true her words rang and the degree to which I was seen, my court was seen. By how far back these things seemed to go, because much of this seemed to be a long time coming. I would have felt so much more out of my depth, I think, were it not for her. She showed incredible kindness and carefully chosen wisdom in the divination I got, and a thoroughness I’ve not seen matched by many. It was full of information that was nourishing and I could grasp, work with. I’ve been given many keys with this. Keys, and a kind yet firm realignment as relayed by my spirits. I’ve learned much from this, and will learn more as I keep going down this path. One thing I know for sure though, is that the next time I’m lost, I’ll be coming to Briar again.

My reading with Briar was incredible. Although I had to wait longer than expected for mine, Briar was always upfront on not only her schedule, but also the importance of providing this service with the utmost integrity and honesty. This was my first time requesting her services, and I'm glad I chose Briar for this reading. She was incredibly detailed, upfront about her limitations but also her strengths, and provided me with an incredibly robust reading that made me feel more confident in the spirit I was entering into spiritual and working relationship with, both on how to better connect with this spirit as well as what actions I could begin taking. At times her reading veered from looking at the spirit to looking at me, which was both unnerving but intensely spot on, that honestly shook me for a couple of days! But I think that's an important factor of this, where a practitioner is not doing it to flatter a client, but to genuinely show them the truth of a face, an action, or a behaviour that you may have in a raw, bare form. Overall I strongly recommend Briar's services if one is looking for even a fraction of the above on just how beautiful her services can be.

I came to Briar for assistance in understanding a period of heightened Otherworld activity in my life — something I was not equipped to face alone. We discovered together that we connected at such an auspicious time for us both, which felt like an affirmation to me of the right person to consult for my confusion and worries. Briar, who clearly engages with the Unseen with much care and respect; was also so considerate, open, and kind to myself and mine. Also refreshing was her curiosity to engage with what my thoughts and concerns were, as well as attending those of my spirits, gods and ungods.

Briar is a wonderful writer, and is thorough in her readings reports. She sets the stage and frames the reading accessibly — while also weaving a re-telling that feels like the mythos of oneself unfolding. Briar helped sharpen the blurred edges of my perception, and helped me develop a language for what I was experiencing — and with that assistance in acknowledgement, the situation which I found myself in eased. I learned (and continue to learn from her published writing) much from Briar, and I feel like I have a path forward in my wanderings: and it turns out, as Briar helped affirm — I was on the path all along, even if I could only just sense it.

I sought Briar’s assistance when the [water familiar] spirit with whom I’d previously forged a good relationship abruptly became increasingly difficult to connect and communicate with. What Briar was able to uncover, asses, and ultimately help resolve through her scrying was nothing short of marvellous. I’m prone to attracting and working with spirits who are demanding, intimidating, and even downright cantankerous at times, but also fiercely loving and protective, and my [water familiar] was no exception. Yet Briar handled her encounter with this spirit with immense compassion, skill, and attention to detail. Briar’s work resulted in a much-needed clarification of the specific disruption to be addressed, and in a substantial validation and crystallization of my familiar’s nature, her needs, and how we could work together for our mutual benefit. The report provided me with so much rich, actionable insight and information that otherwise would have taken me months – if not years – to piece together on my own. Above all, I appreciate Briar’s care, sensitivity, and persistence in helping me and my familiar spirit come into a relationship of even greater depth and flourishing. If you are in need of skilled counsel to help shore up your spirit connections and relationships, I recommend Briar’s offerings with all of my grateful heart.

Working with Briar was a much needed balm to a thorny problem I couldn’t solve on my own despite attempting to tackle it for many months. She diagnosed it quickly and efficiently, and her analysis was in depth in a way few practitioners rarely bother with. More, it not only touched on several aspects I was unable to glean myself, while validating other aspects that confirmed she was indeed in direct communication with my spirits, but offered both practical and mundane- as well as spiritual- solutions to my spiritual issues. In 21 years of practice, I’ve rarely found a practitioner so competent and able to fully deliver on what they promise (and more); I couldn’t recommend her services highly enough.

I came to Briar because of an issue of spiritual nature I was having and was worried about my health, mental, emotional, and spiritual. I came to her because I know she is a healer and I trusted her esoteric knowledge. Furthermore, as I am a polytheist, I felt like she could understand my mindset and use words and concepts that would resonate with me, speaking a language I understand. Even in pagan and esoteric spheres, some topics can be a bit taboo and it’s hard to open up about them, and even more so to find someone that can help you. The first thing that come to mind is how empathetic she is and how strong is her desire to understand and help you. I was very worried when sharing my story that I would not get taken seriously, but I tried my best to be as open and sincere as possible, and I feel like she welcomed it with open arms, listening attentively. She relayed important messages from my spirits, gods, and ancestors, many entities that I was not even aware were part of my life or cared about me, which touched me immensly. The messages and advice I received where extremely relevant to my situation and brought me concrete remediations I could make to move further on the path of healing and self-actualisation. My doubts regarding my self and my faith were soothed and I’m full of a new energy pushing me forward. No furter work was requested from her, the oracular reading gave me plenty of keys. I whole heartedly recomend her services if you are in need of spiritual assistance or advice.

I came to Briar with a vauge request for insight into my overall progress in relating to the genius loci of my area, and the Other Crowd I had been courting. Briar’s services came on very high recomendation, and their reading did not dissapoint. […] She was able to focus in on my enviornment with impressive clairty, detail the current state of my practice, and give me actionable insight into ways I could enhance and evolve it in light of the beings I was working with. I’ve taken Briar’s advice, and expanded on my relationship with the spirits of place in my environ, and the results have been signifigant and poweful. My path still winds far in the distance, but I’m so greatful for my reading with Briar to reassure me of my progeress, and give me some appreciated and informed guidence on my journey. I highly reccomend working with Briar for insight into the vast expanses of the otherworld, and it’s denizens.

I’ve received a reading (…) that was very helpful and guiding. I am very delighted to share a review upon reflection on a recent divination that was conducted for me by Briar. Briar gave me insights paired with carefully worded wisdom that prompted the revelation of that which needed to be recognized by me personally. I’ve only just received the reading, but despite the few weeks that have passed, I’ve benefited greatly from their service. If you are looking for a practitioner with the competence to handle your trust, you should certainly look in their direction!

Il y a bientôt un an que j’ai demandé à Briar une consultation (août 2022). Concernant certains sujets « hot » je n’aime vraiment pas faire office de divination pour moi. De plus, le sujet concernait de près et de loin mes rapports passé/présent/futurs avec Nos Bons Voisins, et Briar avait montré et démontré à plusieurs reprises ce que j’appellerai son « intelligence de coeur » sur ce « Sujet », qui est plus généralement une vraie intelligence d’esprit (selon moi.) C’est à dire, qu’elle possède un vrai « don » ; un quelque chose d’envoyé par le divin. De plus, ma nature fait que toujours je me tournerais vers ceux qui protègent leur intimité et le caractère « sacré » de leur vie. J’ai eu beaucoup de mal à revenir sur cette consultation, (à en parler, à faire cette review), tellement Briar a « vu juste » et tellement ça m’a bouleversée. Ce que j’ai vraiment beaucoup apprécié, c’est en premier lieu, son implication sans jugement. J’étais plongée dans les tourments d’un questionnement existentiel et spirituel jusqu’au cou, je savais que je devais épouser le changement, mais comment et quoi et l’angoisse perpétuelle de « mal faire ». Alors Briar, sans me juger, s’est enfoncée dans cette divination pour moi, litteralement jusqu’au cou. Son niveau d’implication est d’une profondeur que je n’avais pas soupçonné. Pourtant j’avançais déjà en confiance ! Elle a pris le temps de visualiser tous les angles de mon questionnement et d’y répondre point par point. Elle a dû mettre un temps fou à faire ce truc, elle m’a envoyé un pdf de plusieurs pages, vraiment très détaillé, je le répète, sans jugement, sans ouvrir sur de nouvelles questions inutiles, elle a serré au sujet comme le meilleur scénario, a exploré tout ce qui était explorable, a encouragé certaines de mes « faiblesses » (mon perpétuel syndrome de l’imposteur) et j’ai senti tout « l’amour désintéressé » (où la Vraie Joie, si vous voulez) qu’elle avait eu de faire ça. Bref, ça a été comme une boussole pour moi. Ou un phare dans ma tempête, et elle n’en a pas profité. Elle a pourvu à l’essentiel. Rien de superflu. La vraie divination, le vrai service, le vrai « soin » c’est précisément cela. Aller droit à l’essentiel sans en tirer avantage. Je pense que je ne la remercierai jamais assez !

J’étais désespérée lorsque j’ai contacté Briar. Après avoir subi des épreuves difficiles (perte de mon papa, trahisons familiales, escroquerie de grande ampleur), je me sentais démunie. Je cherchais une solution pour « sauver » ma famille… Briar, avec une bienveillance exceptionnelle et des mots aussi beaux que puissants, ne m’a pas dit ce que je voulais entendre. Non. Elle a choisi de partager la vérité, une vérité difficile à entendre, mais nécessaire : je ne dois pas sauver ma famille. Je dois lâcher prise et me concentrer sur moi, ma vie et mon avenir. C’est seulement ainsi que rejaillira la lumière. Je le savais au plus profond de moi : elle disait vrai. Briar m’a proposé deux procédures pour m’aider : un décroisement et une ouverture des chemins. La première consistait à renouer avec mes ancêtres, m’acquitter d’une dette, obtenir leur bénédiction… J’ai alors dressé un autel avec beaucoup d’émotion et discuter à cœur ouvert avec ces êtres qui me sont chers avant de pratiquer un petit rituel de purification. La seconde consistait à m’ouvrir de nouvelles (et belles) opportunités dans une énergie positive. Briar a fait brûler une bougie de 7 jours pendant lesquelles elle a communiqué avec les esprits. De mon côté, j’ai rédigé une pétition pour créer mon destin, provoquer ma chance, illuminer mon chemin. Briar m’a certifié que beaucoup de choses allait se produire dans les mois à venir en suivant ses recommandations transmises par les guides. Je l’ai écouté. Cela fait 6/7 mois aujourd’hui. Il y a deux mois, j’ai créé une nouvelle entreprise (seule). Je m’attendais à commencer à en récolter les fruits d’ici un an, mais c’était sans compter sur la puissance de Briar et de l’invisible. Sans que je ne comprenne comment, ma petite entreprise a été « propulsée » dès le commencement. Et l’univers s’est bien chargé de me faire comprendre que ce n’était pas un « hasard » en m’envoyant des messages régulièrement. Les résultats si prometteurs m’ont permis de changer de vie : arrêter mon travail précédent qui ne me rendait pas heureuse et me lever chaque matin avec le sourire aux lèvres, les étoiles dans les yeux et des rêves plein la tête. Je sais aujourd’hui 3 choses : 1/ Briar a changé ma vie. 2/ Nous ne sommes jamais seuls. 3/ Je suis exactement là où je suis censée être.

J’ai sollicité l’aide de Briar alors que j’avais un problème médical. Elle a immédiatement réagit et j’ai tout de suite senti l’effet de son intervention tant sur le plan moral (sentiment de sécurité et de bien être) que physique (mes symptômes ont cessé rapidement). Ensuite, une fois l’urgence traitée, Briar a été très à l’écoute de mon histoire personnelle et m’a donné des conseils personnalisés et adaptés à ma situation. Elle m’a également envoyé un colis avec des préparations faites par ses soins et des conseils pour les utiliser. Briar a été d’une compréhension et d’une gentillesse rare. Elle a été à l’écoute, a répondu à toutes mes interrogations avec bienveillance. Je la remercie grandement pour son aide et toute l’attention qu’elle a mis pour m’aider au mieux.
