ARCANE Borders
Magic and tradition from the Borders and South-West Scotland
Still practicing customs identified as Iron-age in origin, the border regions of southern Scotland have maintained much of their fairy-faith, local deities and hidden magical traditions.
Ever present yet unseen, the culture permeates the land and reaches beyond the seas with its bold philosophies, quaint idiosyncrasies and quiet mystical practices.
Whether you call these regions home or you are part of the great diaspora, we hope you will join us in this evolving website as we indulge in the magical heritage of the area and share some intriguing Old Faith practices.
