I was asked if any of my products are vegan and guess what? Some are!
I utilize a few companies for supplies and they do not test on animals. All are Beauty without Bunnies or Leaping Bunny certified except one that I will be asking directly (their website clearly states that they are cruelty free and clean however). I checked the ingredients of everything I was curious about by using ingredient check websites to be sure. The listings of the bases which came up with some questions about the source of the glycerin or stearic acid, etc clearly stated in their ingredient lists that they are vegetable based! The oils I use from all the companies are all completely vegan as well!
So any soap that is entirely made of the olive oil or the shea butter with oatmeal (has gluten) is completely vegan! Even those that smell like honey or other possibly non-vegan treats!
Knowing how important this is to so many I’ll be getting more variety of vegan bases in my next order to create more availability for our vegan friends, family and clients!
Thank you!
Hello and Welcome 🌿
At TW&S I take the time and care to create beautiful (and sometimes silly) things. Inspired by the “granny crafts” that fell by the wayside in much of the modern world but that have been taken up with vigor as many have begun to seek out our roots. Infused with magic and mystery by a solitary witch, mama of two and hygge enthusiast in the PNW. 🌿
Due to Etsy prioritizing items with free shipping I have eliminated international shipping. If you’d like something shipped internationally please contact me. I’m terribly sorry about any inconvenience this may cause.
Find us across most social media platforms under: “The Well and Spindle” or “thewellandspindle” to stay informed and up to date on new products, sales, discounted items, giveaways and more!
Thank you and be well!

5 out of 5 starsAnother amazing purchase from The Well and Spindle. If you are on the bench about buying something from them, do it! They are incredibly talented. Everything I’ve gotten is amazing. This necklace is no exception, it’s gorgeous! I love it! Like the others I’ve gotten from them, it’s extremely well made and I received it very quickly.

5 out of 5 starsThe colors on this headband are so lovely, light and gently blended in to each other. The stitching is beautifully even and it is finished beautifully.

About TheWellAndSpindle
~From my roots to your branches~
Hello! I’m Briar and I am the Creatrix behind “The Well and Spindle.” I began selling officially on Etsy in November of 2008 but had been serving my community long before that. I had been making and donating products I crafted for local witch and pagan fundraising events for years before I opened my shop and I knew it was a good move when my community urged me to open an online store! Having been raised by a witch and crafting my entire life, I needed to share my genuine love to create magic with the world! In my years on Etsy I have made wood burned decor, jewelry, historically influenced accessories, fiber crafts, bath and body products, herbal products, ritual tools and more. I also taught classes and hosted workshops for many years for a coven I was a part of, local pagan groups and for the local Pagan Pride Day event where I grew up (which I also vended at). As a neurodivergent person I am always branching out and yearning to learn more as part of my need to bring new life into the world around me and crush stagnancy. Finding new things to research and test being a huge interest of mine as well. Now I’m here still serving the community I have created online and beyond them.
My shop reflects my life. I cater my crafts and my need to transform things around me as I see fit.
If you would like to know more about me I am a non-binary and queer person, Inclusive Heathen, long-time Witch raised by Pagan Witch for a mother and inheriting psychic gifts from my father, mother of two (much cooler than me) neurodiverse kids, life partner to my one love, research obsessed Leo, herbalist in training, avid reader, yarn spinner, fiber artist, gardener, low key hiker and more. Some of my other interests include mythology, folklore, religious studies, Tudor history, philosophy, mycology, spirituality, magic, witchcraft, Viking age Scandinavia, history in general, divination and more!
You can find me on most social networking sites. I mainly utilize Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok, Twitter and Instagram.
Thank you for being here! I appreciate you!

Different situations call for different ways of solving problems so I will work with potential issues as they come in the best way I can manage.

Shipments go out once a week. Depending on the item they will either be wrapped in tissue and placed in a bubble envelope or placed in a cardboard box and sealed with tape. I generally will either add bubble wrap, foam peanuts and/or tissue to protect items. Please either reuse or recycle the materials I send your package in! Every little bit helps our precious Mother Earth. I try hard to ensure your items are protected and properly secure and also that I am not creating too much waste!

We are a furry pet free home. I promise our African Dwarf Frogs don’t come into contact with any products either.
I fully clean all areas I work in and take safety precautions. I do not wear gloves but I both properly wash (we even have a little chart so everyone at home follows it) and then sanitize my hands and forearms with hand sanitizer before working.
