A Cornish word
What is a pellar?
In Cornwall, a pellar is a folk healer and cunning person — a charmer known for lifting curses and making charms and remedies. The English word is borrowed from Cornish peller, often glossed as a “white wizard,” a practitioner of helpful magic for a community. Some etymologists also connect it with “expeller”: one who drives harm away.

About Sylvan the Pellar
Sylvan the Pellar is a handmade shop of unique treasures — potions, mixes, and trinkets — made in the spirit of that older Cornish craft: charms, remedies, and carefully gathered things meant to be kept close.
The name Sylvan speaks of the woods. The pellar belongs to the hedge and the hearth: a quiet practice of making, mending, and looking after what people carry with them.
