Co-Creation Cauldron

 I am an average neurospicy, queer, whimsical heathen, pagan witch and the Creatrix here at Heathen Moon. Just trying to make the most out of this capitalistic hell-scape of the modern world. 

Witchcraft helps…a lot and activism…and a healthy dose of naps and spooky shit.  I strive to maintain a  curated life - not an echo chambered life. 

I  love everything paranormal, cryptid, and horror-related, and I'm dedicated to learning, unlearning, and conducting research. I do what I can daily to recognize the magic there is to behold, both inside myself and outside.

When I was younger, I felt my spirit stir with poetry. Words are deeply impactful, connecting us to each other and realms beyond. Like tendrils tracing and linking between worlds.  I also  LOVE film and watching stories unfold cinematically. Cine-mancy is a huge part of my ques from within this realm that something is clicking into place. 

My foundation within magic and witchcraft can be summed up as Animistic. I have a deep reverence to the land I reside on, doing what I can every day as an uninvited guest to ensure the land is stewarded by its rightful guardians.  I look to many community members within different Nations for guidance, but my accountability and unlearning is my sole responsibility. 

My practice is rooted in  folk traditions, land based magic, personal and spiritual development. I believe we can all discover really delicious and interesting things about the world, each other and ourselves if we let ourselves  be guided by our curiousity.  What makes our heart beats faster...that's the magic we're after. 

I have a great respect and understanding of various traditions and magical approaches. The traditions and lore I am well versed in are : Nordic, Anglo Saxon, Celtic, Hellenic & Roman mythology and practice. Always recognizing I am a guest at the table, and not a part of the culture - (this phrase is from mentor and guide Sterling Moon.)  My own heritage and the magic within my bones and blood is something I am still discovering and weaving through. It is a monumental task and one that I have needed the grace to step back from time to time. This I know is a privilege. My ancestral lineages are Swedish, English, Cornish & Belgium. 

I am a professionally  practicing  Witch and have developed my own distinct way of weaving magic and intention in this wyrd and wonderful world. Community support is a big part of my day to day life.

I enjoy experimenting and don't shy away from the hard work. I'm dedicated to becoming the grisly old witch of the woods, with a hot hearth and a cool creek to tend to. Curiosity fuels my days.

My Best Witch Luna and I are co-spectres of a shared community called Frightfully Delightful. We experiment within paranormal spaces and hold reverence for all Beings that take the time to communicate. Hashtag//NOGHOSTBROS

I love Spirit Boards and Scrying Mirrors and utilize them as tools during  some rituals. 

I adore cartomancy (divination using cards)  tarot, with it's varying forms of art and nuance. Runes and charms of all kinds. I just love the exploration of divination in general and have knowledge and capacity for many forms and modalities, but like many things, each of them has a season and a cycle within my life and practice. 

Above all within divination and practice a like, is experimenting with new ways to bring  —mancy to everyday life.  I never shy away from introducing and experimenting with different ingredients, recipes, techniques and methodologies.

I have just finished Sterling Moon's Modern Mediums 2023 class, and have come away with some fine tuning in regards to my psychic senses and blossoming mediumship abilities. 

Plant spirits are such important energies to delve into and explore. And depending on our intention, can have varying degrees of communication. I’ll be honest, before November 2022, I couldn't keep a plant alive for long... But I am pleased to say I have a wide array of well tended plant friends who I share and commune with. I wasn't fully convinced my partner Ryan, didn't help, but he has assured me that he has not. So my thumb is clearly turning green as I type this.  Ryan has been a wonderful partner who can just "tell" things about plants, and thus, we have a beautiful and magical garden to harvest our plant allies from. 

Within the realm of co-creation I want you to know each situation or circumstance is unique, and my goal within consultation and sharing my Craft and energy with you is to tailor exactly what you need to gain perspective, shift, embody, and create alignment within your life. When I share with you, either in a public format or 1:1, it will either be techniques I have used for decades and have personally found effective or Spirit will give me a nudge and say "Psst - you gotta try THIS," and we will collaborate with that energy together to determine what the best path to take is.

My practice is one of personal growth and experimentation. I love to create, learn, and share my wisdom with others. When I present a recipe or ritual, it is with my heart and my experience behind it. I offer consultations and 1:1 Spell Services where we can create, collaborate, and ask questions. I am the Village Witch who offers no judgment, but impactful nudges of Spirit and perspective, in a compassionate, but no bullshit kind of way.  I recognize patterns and cycles, both within the seasons and your own unique rhythm, and provide guidance for people throughout their lives. Whether it's a boost to your perspective, a creative way to work through a situation using your own unique energy, a new way to work a spell or ritual, or simply inspiration and guidance, I am here to help. I'm not afraid of the rough and gritty parts of the spirit, and I'm death positive, having helped many beings and care givers navigate the liminal space between dying and last breath. Whether that be the physical or a former self. 

I am considerate of each situation and circumstance, and I will ask many questions and delve into complicated and sensitive subject matter with compassion. I have a wide variety of resources to share and unpack with you.  I am a full-time witch as shop owner here at Heathen Moon, and formerly shop keep and community member at Phoenix Rising. My  3 years within Phoenix has given me me a unique and diverse range of resources that I can share and delve into with you. 

I exercise discernment and research on a daily basis to evaluate and authenticate resources, including books, podcasts, and practitioners. If I believe that I am not the ideal fit for you, I will be honest and direct you to resources more suitable for your needs. 

I am excited to co-create with you!

In all my loving wyrdness,

Amanda
