About Sarah
Sarah Key-DeLyria is an herbalist, gardener, and former professor living in Portland, Oregon. She often calls herself a mud and herb witch because that’s where she feels most like herself.
Sarah has been learning and applying her knowledge of herbs and plants for 20+ years, developing relationships with individual plants through growing them and making tisanes, infusions, soaps, and salves for herself and her family. Her biggest herbal influence has come from Rosemary Gladstar’s books and teachings, but she has learned from so many others. She hopes to be learning about plants for the rest of her life.
Soap creates an easy way for the herb curious to build a relationship with herbs in a sometimes more approachable way than teas, tonics, and salves. And for those who are already well acquainted with herbs, herbal soaps can weave them even more into your daily life.
Soap is something you can reach for every time you wash your hands, every time you bathe. Handmade soap is special. It feels different on the skin and the skin responds. The herbs shape this experience from the cooling of peppermint to the soothing of calendula.
Sarah creates each bar of soap herself from start to finish, researching, formulating, mixing, pouring, cutting, labeling, and shipping. She invites you to add the magic of this making and the magic of herbs to your everyday routine.
Tarot
Sarah got her first tarot deck around the same time she fell in love with plants. So, of course, it was the Herbal Tarot, and it was the only deck she’s had for decades.
Making spreads and spells that reflect the principles behind cognitive rehabilitation became a way to start bridging the witchery and the scholarly aspects of Sarah’s life. They’ve never felt separate to her and now she spends time writing about how they connect.
Communicating with others has always seemed to be the important ‘underneath’ of everything else, so she went to school for a very, very long time (2001-2011) to earn her bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in speech-language pathology and cognitive neurolingusitics. She went on to became a professor, teaching and researching brain injury recovery and cognitive rehabilitation, where she stayed for a decade until she quit in 2022.
