Blessed Yule to everyone who, like me, is celebrating today. Yule is a time to celebrate the return of the sun and wave goodbye to the darkness. I’ve had a rough year filled with loss and change and today is a day to reflect on that and celebrate the sunny spots of the year, as well as prepare for the year ahead.

A lot of my spell work is done in the kitchen and a traditional simmer pot is just one of the ways I do this. A few people have asked about my simmer pots so I thought I’d share my Yule one with you. I always choose my ingredients based on my needs, so they’re often different according to my state. Here’s the one I’ve made today. Everything used is associated with both the sun and fire elements. You may wish to say a few words whilst preparing your simmer pot and stirring can increase the magick you’re creating. Remember to stir clockwise to infuse something and anti clockwise to remove something. It’s really important your mind is clear when working on magick like this.

🍊 Orange. A fruit associated with happiness, cleansing and of course, the sun. Those lovely orange discs are perfect for welcoming back the sun.
🍃 Bay Leaf. Powerful for protection and healing, writing your intentions for the year ahead can also amplify your chances of success. I always write a little sentence on mine.
🌿 Rosemary. A wonderful cleansing herb, perfect to refresh for the year ahead.
🍒 Cranberry. These marvellous little fruits are a symbol of rejuvenation and healing. Both physical and mental. Much needed!
🪵 Cinnamon. This aromatic bark is not only wonderful for luck, but also for amplifying other herbs it may be used with.
🪨 Black Pepper. One of the oldest spices in the world, these powerful little peppercorns bring huge protective and cleansing energies into whichever spell you may be working on.

OK so I’ve had A LOT of messages asking when the online store is reopening. Stock is ready to go etc BUT I’ve made the decision not to do so this side of Xmas.

With postal strikes and overloaded couriers, I just can’t guarantee that you’ll receive the level of service I want to give and I don’t want to open knowingly adding to a pressured delivery system. Disappointing I know but please do shop local and support your indies this Christmas. Sorry it’s not the news we were hoping for 🖤

It’s with a heavy heart that I announce the closure of the Earth Friendly Rocker shop in Afflecks.

Opening the shop back in 2019 was a dream come true and I’ve had so many wonderful conversations with you all over the years about the amazing changes you’ve been making to look after our planet.

A pandemic, cost of living crisis, war and Brexit have just been too much for our wonderful little shop to fight through and the time has come to wave goodbye.

Being completely honest, the toll of the last few years has broken me mentally, physically and financially to the point that I’m a shell of a person. I don’t know myself anymore. I need to step back and recover.

Thank you to my amazing staff over the years, there’s no way we could have survived as long as we have without you. Please get in touch if you’re looking for anyone, my staff are mint and deserve the world.

There are lots of zero waste shops closing right now and I’m heartbroken to be one of them. Please do support your local one.

It’s not the end for Earth Friendly Rocker though. I’m sure it will stay around in some capacity, I just need to take some time to recover and work out what’s next.

Our last day of trading in Afflecks will be Saturday the 16th July. If you have orders placed, don’t worry they will still be fulfilled. Please just allow us a little extra time.

The team themselves also want to thank you all for making the time we did have together special and will miss you all 🖤

Thank you so much for your support

Look who’s back! We’ve had an ever so mighty restock from with pads available to fit dress sizes from size 6 to 36 in flows from light to super heavy.

Whether you like to honour your flow (see what I did there) or just get it out of the way and pretend it doesn’t exist, reusable pads are a great way to feel a little more comfortable and stop all those nasty pads going to landfill. You don’t need to mess around hand washing them either as they can go in the washer up to 60 degrees too. We’ve got tons of colours as you can see too. Come and see us on the 3rd floor of or order online 🖤

When you come and shop with us, you can be confident that you’re supporting a business which pays its staff the Real Living Wage and we’re accredited by the too! Our coven deserve the best 🖤

Superb proposal. 👏👏👏

Absolutely loving this! Here’s hoping more schools follow suit.

A PRIMARY school in Bury has installed an onsite uniform shop to enable parents to buy second-hand clothing for their children at bargain prices.

Wowsers! This is our bra bank and it’s safe to say you lot have been busy bees filling it recently! We’ve got over 3 big cardboard boxes full to send off.

Instead of letting them go to landfill, recycle your unwanted bras with us and help raise money for life saving breast cancer research at the same time. Find us on the 3rd floor of nestled between our pals and 🖤
