Black Forest Handmade Witch

Sinister, fanciful, mysterious and mythical; the German Black Forest is bountiful in moss, pine, oak, beech, spruce and elm trees. Located in a large mountain range in Southwest Germany  (Schwarzwald in German). The name Black Forest comes from the general dark color of the numerous pine trees that grow in this region.

It’s said that this fragrant land beholds magical properties, for both the body and spirit. Legends tell of women, weather, herb & cattle witches, who completed their handiwork in all parts of the Black Forest.
