I am She...
The Old Bone Mother
WITCH. PRIESTESS. HEALER
Intuitive Artist & Earth Based Practitioner
My name is Tayla Henderson (Tay for short), formerly known as The Kynoch Witch, I now embrace the name of The Old Bone Mother.
I am a proud Wulli Wulli & Auburn Hawkward woman residing on Giabul & Jarrowair country, here in Toowoomba QLD. I also have European heritage deriving from Nordic & Celtic origins and as such my craft manifests as a contemporary fusion of Indigenous Spirituality & Pagan folk/traditional practices. I am an Intuitive Artist & Earth based practitioner. My practice is influenced by Animism, Shamanism & Witchcraft incorporating elements of ancestral work/veneration, divination, A, Meditation Journeying and more.
As a child I have always been sensitive and open to the realm of spirit, honing my Intuitive skills since the age of 13 beginning my journey through research into the realm of witchcraft, tarot & the paranormal.
I began practising as The Kynoch Witch in 2019 after the birth of my first child as a way to come home to myself, thus beginning my journey into the realm of Intuitive Art.
Combining my skills as and artist with my spiritual practice/gift, I began birthing sacred tools for Ritual practice such as Ritual Rattles, Feather Wands & Staves alongside Intuitively channelled Artworks and Indigenous Art Creations.
I work with crystals and plants also in my craft and have built a strong connection with them through the birthing of my artworks and ritual creations as well as learning about their uses in energy healing practices. This also extends to my ever growing knowing of plant spirit medicine and animal spirit allies. My journey with green magic and plant spirits has also lead me to specially curate and craft our Herbal selection in the Apothecary.
As apart of my journey I have also birthed my own Oracle deck, The Primal Oracle, inspired by our human ancestors who walked the earth in Palaeolithic times. This deck is imbued with the ancient wisdom of our primal past to guide us in the modern era. This deck is a creation which is closely tied to my heart as it represents the core of my spiritual practice and ancestral longing.
During the creation process of my oracle deck I had the distinct pleasure of connecting with a fellow like minded Intuitive, Petra Costa, from When Magic Awakes, and together we founded
The Empowered Intuitive Academy: Academy of Intent & Artistry. In this space we have collaboratively created courses which cover various topics from Deck Creation to Witchcraft and more.
Over my time as The Kynoch Witch I have had the absolute pleasure & honour to create Intuitive items for fellow practitioners within the spiritual community and as I am walking the path of The Old Bone Mother I now embrace my role as a healer and herbalist, working closely with plant spirit energetics to help facilitate healing through my herbal products and essences.
I am grateful to be connecting with like minded spirits who seek to deepen their connection with spirit as a way to deepen their awareness of self, and will continue to value the work I contribute to this Space of practice.
Blessed be
Tay xx
