The Old World Witchcraft workshop & office is located in the historic Alphabet District of northwest Portland, Oregon. The Old World Witchcraft store is currently not open to the general public but can be visited by requesting an appointment. Wherever you are in the world, we are happy to advise you personally on product and spellwork matters. Contact us to get started!
OldWorldWitchcraft.com was born in 2014, out of pure love for Eastern and Central European Witchcraft -- the practices of the village grandmothers (babushkas), secretly performing powerful rituals utilizing wild-harvested herbs, roots, blends and pure beeswax Old World ritual candles. Of course, we have expanded and elaborated on their secret practices, but the core has remained the same and we are honored to share the craft of the old ways. Originally, this website was started as a blog. As a way to bring an alternative practice and perspective to those uninterested in religious new age Witchcraft. The desire was to share powerful methods and experiences of real magick and explicitly discuss Witchcraft with those genuinely seeking this type of alternative spirituality. |
Over the years, we launched a Witchcraft product line which dramatically expanded this website and its following. We are proud to be a knowledge base and supplier for Witches worldwide. (Employing a staff of Witches feels pretty great too!)
Absolutely all Old World Witchcraft products are created using only certified organic and responsibly wild-harvested plants, roots and resins. Just as plants have medicinal attributes and chemical compounds, they too have energetic compounds. Internally used, herbs used can heal the sick, poison the enemies, support a peaceful nights sleep or even help a nursing mother produce more milk. Magickally used, herbs can bring about success, deprive the life source of enemies (through curses), eliminate draining energies and even enhance romantic relationships.
The importance of buying organic, or better yet, wild-harvested, magickal herbs should not be underestimated. Just as pesticides and harmful chemicals deteriorate the integrity of grown food, they too deteriorate the energetic content of magickal plants. We're committed to helping you reach spellwork success, which is exactly why we have scoured the Earth for the very best organic and responsibly wild-harvested herbs, roots and resins.
To learn how to use Old World Witchcraft products, simply browse products in the Witchcraft Shop, where you will find detailed step-by-step ritual instructions and information.
If you cannot find what you are looking for, please feel welcome to contact us for assistance. We would be happy to help you find a product and spell to best suit you and your situation.

Who We Are |
About the Founder
Dacha Avelin, the founder of OldWorldWitchcraft.com, is an occultist, a Witch and a self-proclaimed self-help junkie. She has been deeply involved in various forms of the occult, Old World Witchcraft and practical spirituality for nearly three decades. Being a fearlessly avid traveler, Dacha loves the magickal practices of ancient cultures and civilizations. Implementing the powerful combination of modern mind techniques with various forms of cultural magick has become a large part of her personal practice, as well as something she shares with clients. Coming from a long line of Eastern European Witches and a rich spiritual cultural heritage, her roots in occultism developed quickly...and at a very early age! Her passion for manifestation-focused techniques and the practical use of real witchcraft has always been at the forefront of her life. Dacha Avelin's life goal is to share this practical, time-tested knowledge of witchcraft with those who seek an alternative path and desire more from life. She firmly believes we have manifested into physical bodies to experience the physical reality to its fullest extent. Whether that means living a luxurious life, creating a successful business or simply enjoying a happy, healthy family is entirely up to you. Although a loving and generous person, Dacha is naturally drawn to the more intense and "forbidden" side of witchcraft. She absolutely loves to push boundaries and has a penchant for magick dealing with repelling work, relationship spells as well as various forms of spiritual manipulation. Dacha is frequently sought out for her unique spellwork and consultations giving people new perspectives and one of a kind experiences that lead to true life changes and lasting results. Dacha Avelin believes that nearly all of the practices and "laws" instructed in modern witchcraft, spiritual traditions and religions are nothing more than fear-based ideologies taught by fame-hungry so-called "gurus". Worse yet, many of these self-proclaimed guru's and teachers live a miserable existence and share their faulty beliefs with those seeking answers. Dacha does not want to be called or considered a guru. She is simply a practitioner of a powerful method of witchcraft and is happy to share her knowledge with the world. She breaks down the barriers, fictitious laws and wants you to create a truly exceptional existence. Dacha is living proof of this powerful method of witchcraft. She is your stepping stone to you fulfilling your own destiny and is committed to helping those who crave a better, more fulfilling life. View Dacha Avelin services here.
