Dusty 14

Son of Dusty Miller XIII, is a Master Elfin Craftsman from the “Saelig Silverdobbs”, a tribe which lived in Great Britain since the last Ice Age. On the continent he is wellknown as a shamanic Healer and for his LiveWood Tools.

His tribal ancestors lived in a wooded area today known as the Weald of Kent long before England became an island.

Long before the Celts came over from the continent and invaded the British isle the tribe of the “Saelig Silverdobbs” started working with the nature spirits according to the Old Elfin Woodcraft Lore. They communicated with the tree spirits who call themselves Dryads and worked in honour and respect with our planet, mother Earth. They just took what they needed to survive, by looking after the wild pigs and herding them. The wild pig is therefore their totem animal as it had everything that the tribe needed in order to survive.

In the beginning the Dusty (Du: Sau/mother pig; sty: bed where the pig sleeps on) was responsible for the wellbeing of the mother pig in later times he became the shaman of the tribe who looked also after the wellbeing of every tribal member and was involved in healing, toolmaking (LiveWood) and magick.

Since ancient times it is the tradition that every Dusty of the tribe is introduced as a ‘babe in arms’ to the tree spirits of the ancient forest that the Dusties work with.

Dusty XIV and his father Dusty XIII are the last practising LiveWood Craftsman in the whole of Europe.
