Re-Introductions

Hi everyone! It has been a while, and I am excited to be relaunching my website and writing more here in this blog space. A lot has changed in both my personal and spiritual life since my last post. I moved from Raleigh to Charlotte and decided to go back to school! I have been advancing in my mundane career and hope to buy a house soon in the future.

Spiritually speaking, many things have changed, while others have stayed the same. I am still practicing Appalachian folk magic — in fact, it has become even more central to my day-to-day practice. One major shift in my spirituality is that I no longer actively practice Norse/Germanic paganism. Instead, I have focused more on practical, everyday spirituality and folk magic. Additionally, my ancestral practice and Marian devotion have become deeply important parts of my spiritual life. I am also apprenticing within a folk tradition that I am not able to speak much about at this time.

This “paring down” of my practice has simplified my spirituality in a way that feels more meaningful and practical for me. I have also been finding ways to support those in my community, both spiritually and physically. One event that deeply impacted the way I practice was Hurricane Helene. Even though I no longer live in the area, much of my family and many close friends still do. That experience really brought into perspective what magic truly means to me. Offering support — both tangible and spiritual — to those affected felt like the truest expression of my path.

To conclude this long-winded and rambling post, I am excited to return to my website and to continue writing about what I learn along the way.
