The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) how I extend the magic past Halloween 10.12.2025 If you know me, you know I LOVE Halloween. I mean, what witch doesn't? And as much as I've always adored Halloween, after deconstructing religion, Christmas always left a bad taste in my mouth. Which is why we started celebrating Witchmas.

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) let's find a cozy place to settle in 09.21.2025 The autumn equinox always feels like a reset button to me.

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) let's undo some myths, shall we? 09.07.2025 Warning... I'm up on my broomstick today. Why? Because I honestly believe that women need witchcraft more than ever. It's not just spells and hexes and howling at the moon (though that is fun, too!) Witchcraft is the practice of women celebrating, honoring and working with the feminine divine within themselves and the universe for the highest good. It IS the matriarchy in practice. So today I wanna...
