EXCLUSIVE: Revealed: The ‘Hedge Witch’ Druid Who Officiated Music Icon Sinead O’Connor’s Funeral

A Druid calling herself a ‘Hedge Witch’ performed at Sinead O’Connor’s funeral, MailOnline can reveal.

Known as “Julí Ní Mhaoileóin the Dingle Druid,” Juli Malone joined an Islamic cleric in what sources say was a multi-denominational service.

The druid is said to be the ‘chief celebrant’ of Sinead’s funeral, who was buried yesterday in Bray near Dublin, where she once lived.

Sinead O’Connor (pictured) was found unconscious at her London home on July 26. Police have not shared a cause of death, although they said her death was not suspicious

She says: ‘I use the gifts of nature in ceremonies, rituals and handmade products. In this way I call on nature to guide, heal and soothe us.

‘My deep love for nature initially led me to train as a horticulturist and florist.

‘After years of further study, I now focus on Herbalism and Plant Spirit Medicine to share the sacred gifts of nature. . . I am what you might call a ‘hedge witch’.

She adds that as a “ceremonialist” she works with nature and the elements to “combine the ancient lore of plants with the healing, power and wisdom of the druids, resulting in heartfelt ceremonies and a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.

“I dedicate myself and my work to helping people connect with nature, with the magic of the plant world, and thereby forge deeper connections in their lives, with their inner selves and with others.”
