I’ve had to hide the last few weeks. After returning from a space of spells, magick, and hope, it was hard to arrive. Things came up in all directions. Emotions welled up at all times of day. And I got depleted. I got cranky and angry and snippy and rigid. I started seeing post after post of people I love being overwhelmed, depressed, and elbow deep in ice cream. I relate.

Lately, I’ve had the chance to write books, books about witchcraft and magick, contracted books. In my everyday writing, I am methodical and concise.

Magick is in every moment. Every breath is a spell, an intention, a possibility revealing itself to the world. Some are whispers. Some are screams. Some are desperate. Some are wistful. Some are forgotten. Until they arrive. You Can’t Always Get What You Want…** I’m sure you’ve done a spell that took a lot of work, a lot of thought (maybe in the other order), and nothing happened. Or things went sideways in your life. For example, the moment I... Read more
I have become interested in textures these days. The texture of belief. The texture of magick. The way things are smooth one day and rough the next. I call on my intuition to create beauty. Read more
