WyrdWood

Meet one of Britain's last traditional folk magicians.

Hidden among the ancient woodlands of Kent lives a remarkable man whose life's work has been devoted to preserving one of Britain's oldest magical traditions.

Known simply as Dusty Miller, he is a wand maker, folk magician, storyteller and guardian of an extraordinary body of woodland lore passed down through generations. His handcrafted staves, wands and LiveWood creations have become legendary among practitioners of traditional witchcraft and British folk magic, while his quiet wisdom and lifelong dedication have earned him the affection of everyone fortunate enough to meet him.

In WyrdWood, author Michael Kelly journeys into Dusty's world, recording not merely the biography of an unusual man, but the living traditions that surround him.
