If recent forays into my genealogy have taught me anything, it's that I'm descended from multiple continents worth of ancient royal lines, no matter which branch of the family tree you shake, both sides. Me? I'm a disabled Michigander with no money to my name. I have decided that location, time period, and circumstances be damned, I'm just as much of an ancient queen as my ancestresses, and I'm going to act like it. See, I studied archaeology in college, I know what the quali

Getting back to this topic from a couple of weeks ago , my friend sent me this last night: Dear Universe, if I am a goddess somewhere back there, don't let me know about that past life. Or lives. I don't care how free of ego I may become, I don't need those kind of mind games. That'll just interfere with my purpose. I am who I need to be right now. And if I'm embodying anything, I'll embody it knowing the why or not. Also, anyone who's been in the spiritual community for awhi

This has been a rant of mine now for almost 30 years, so brace yourselves... The first thing you learn when you get into "alternative spirituality" is transcendental meditation. That's pretty much the bedrock of any "magical" practice - the meditative state is where you work with energy and communicate with the divine. And one of the easiest meditations to do is a past life regression, plus it's "spiffy," so a lot of people start right off with viewing snippets of lives they'

I'm going to dive pretty deep into the woo here, brace yourselves... But first, some Auntie Lore: I was born into a prominent Seventh-Day Adventist family. If you know anything about that sect of Christianity, it's very, very focused on the Book of Revelations, including hosting a week-long deep-dive into the book and Ellen G. White's "The Great Controversy" every October called the "Revelation Seminar" (which incidentally inspired David Koresh to start the Branch Davidian co

I announce that I'm joining a hair growth challenge, and two days later my hair starts falling out. Y'all think you're so slick? Hope you enjoy being bald, I sent that back right away, and haven't lost a hair since. I can't even grow my own hair in peace, for fuck's sake. Hey WitchTok, take note - this is the life you're choosing. Witch Wars are part of it, whether you want to get into it or not. I sure don't, but here we are. Make sure you're ready for the heat, everyone's a

The babies have run the daycare for too long over there. And a reckoning is coming. I've written about my past 28 years as a magical practitioner before , so I'll just include the highlights here: Full conscious Chakra system activation at 16 years old, and continual skilled self maintenance since. Professional tarot reader since July 2000. Reiki Grandmaster in the Usui Tradition since 2004. Hoodoo apprentice since 2011. I got a dual degree in Anthropology, and Classical Lati

Bob: “Imma put my asshole on your antakarana, mom. Gonna make it real hole-y. Get it??”

Can we talk about a current turn of phrase? That seems to be accompanying the whole "How old do I look" meme on TikTok. (It's the one in the subject line, btw) [So witchy, I even have professional headshots for my tarot reading business. 2023, Elise Kutt for Mod Bettie Portraits, HMU Candace Lefke] More Auntie Lore time! When I was 16, so this would have been around 1998, I started to take an Arabic dance class (you know, "belly dancing") with my mom, and my teacher was like
