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 share a couple of posts to help those who are new to the path - and hopefully do a bit of myth-busting to help dispel some fear around it.

ON THE BLOG:
Awakening the Witch Within

New to witchcraft and trying to step into your craft? This is for you.

As a girl who had to go through this myself, I know it can be a bit overwhelming. Especially if you struggle with a bit (or a lot) of religious trauma. It took me years of secretly walking down this road before I felt safe enough to step out of the broom closet.

So if you’re looking to tap into the power of your inner witch, these are the things that I found most impactful on my journey to finding my own magic.

ON SUBSTACK:
The Threefold Law: Is it real?
(spoiler alert: abso-fucking-lutely not.)

The number one question I get about witchcraft is "Aren't you afraid of it coming back to you?" - especially when talking about hexes.

This is such a common misconception... and when you learn where it all stems from it's probably gonna piss you off. I know it did me.

Because.... of course a rule that is meant to keep a woman's power in check was made up by a man.

Anyways... over on Substack, I break down all of the points of why it's a bullshit rule and one I absolutely do not subscribe to -- and I don't think you should, either.

NEW ISSUE: September Illumine

You know what I do believe in? Using our practice and power to live our best damn life. That's why I created my magazine, Illumine - to empower you to life a magical existence.

The September issue is here and ready to help you awaken autumn to make the most of this beautiful time of year - with spells, rituals, recipes and more. Available in both print or digital downloads.

Playlist: Witchy Fall Vibes

I know there's still like two weeks of summer left, but as an autumn-loving girl, I cannot help myself. If you're dreaming of sipping PSLs and burning that fall candle, this list is for you. It's such a vibe - and perfect for the witching season....

GO ALL IN: Get more support for #75SOFT

I've been teach the art of Soft Living for quite some time - and the thing I know about this path is that when you have support, you're more likely to succeed.

When I started this, I had no clue so many people would jump on board. But I'm so honored you're doing it with me.

So I have set up a free daily newsletter: The #75 Soft Daily.
Every morning I'll send out an email with tips, tricks and thoughts for the day. It might be journaling prompts, a water recipe, a meditation video, a playlist - or it could just be musings that pop in mind that might be helpful to you. Just a little support to help you on your quest.

Wanna dive deep into the magic of The Soft Life?
The private coven is open and waiting for you -
we'd love to welcome you to the fold.

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) No April Foolin' around 04.01.2026 I took a poll recently on Instagram and the results did not shock me: We're all fucking exhausted. We've been hit hard every day with narcissistic abuse by our own government in an effort to destroy our society. But that only works if we let it. So our job in these insane times is to remember that the main thing that defeats this bullshit is to respond with action rather than to react in despair. If you've been...

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) Just feed people 03.25.2026 Last weekend was magical... We had our first retreat of the year for Soft Life Society - and honestly it was incredible to spend a weekend with a house full of like-minded souls who were there to support each other and just be together to heal as a coven. But it also sparked a lot of interesting conversations - like the one I'm sharing today on Substack. I missed the Sunday post and email because I was just too in the...

The Art of Making Life Magical(the newsletter) And so it begins 03.18.2026 I adore spring. It's truly my favorite season. Maybe because I was born on the first day of spring? Perhaps. Or maybe it's because that's the world feels most at balance between the darkness and the light. But mostly, it's because I feel like the new year truly does begin in spring. Nothing is supposed to be "fresh and new" while the world is immersed in darkness. Spring is when the world comes back to life. New on...
