About

Greetings I am Astarté Earthwise. I live, work, and play in the beautiful and lush Mid-North Coast of NSW in Australia. I’ve left living on the land, and have settled into a small rural town in a pretty valley called Stroud. I’m a woman who follows the path of my ancestors, (who also settled here in 1855 from Scotland) as well as one of deep service to community.

Astarté is pronounced (A-STAR-TAY)

I’m a mystic, an intuitive counsellor, a keeper of tradition and a ceremony woman. Practicing the traditional arts, magic, and the old craft, working full time as a village wisewoman.

I walk my talk quietly. The heart of my path is honouring my Clan, the ancestors of this land, as well as the ancestors of my blood. Working with the help, guidance and connection of the Spirits and Totems of this land and its seasonal Cycles.

My passions are wild-crafting, herbalism, magical practice, photography, meditation, astrology, birds, cows, gardening, poetry, Australian ethnobotany, growing my own food, the environment, farming, reading, writing, country living and anything to do with Nature.

For many years I’ve taught the Earthwise Tradition of the Craft. Learnt a lot about the bush, its medicine, bush tucker, and completed a bush regeneration course in 1999 finding great joy in passing on all this knowledge. In the late 90’s I founded and ran an environmental group called Rainbow Dragon on the Northern Beaches of NSW. Teaching the metaphysical arts for over 40 years now, a healer, intuitive therapist, medium, psychic, clairvoyant, workshop facilitator, teacher, empowerer, metaphysical store owner, farmer and ceremony woman.

A member and studying Druidry at The British Druid Order and Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, and also studying a course in Alchemy at The International Alchemy Guild. I’ve studied Humanistic Astrology and Business Management, and I’m a member of  The Spirit of Elemental Farm, in the Hunter Valley, NSW Australia.

Compassionate, empathic and caring, the kind of wise-woman that will leave you feeling comforted, more at peace and empowered to create what you want in your life, after a reading, teachings or healing in my care.
