My Story: How I Came to the Craft 🌙

Since last year, I’ve been sharing my practice on social media — and now, with the launch of this website, I’m taking things a step further. This space is for expanding knowledge, building community, and exchanging experiences with kindred spirits.

Where It All Began

It started during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I was living with my boyfriend’s family in my final year of high school — burnt out, stressed, and bending over backwards to meet everyone’s expectations at the expense of my own mental and physical health.

Back then, my only real exposure to the “craft” came from The Crucible, a play about the Salem Witch Trials. I was captivated by the drama, but my belief was firm: witchcraft was nothing more than a tool used to condemn those deemed undesirable. I thought magick was fake.

The Shift

Five years later — after spirit encounters, manifestation work, and drawing more love and prosperity into my life than I thought possible — I know magick is real.

It is a sacred practice rooted in political sovereignty, science, and history.

As anthropologist Bronisław Malinowski once wrote:

“Magic enables man to carry out with confidence his important tasks, to maintain his poise and his mental integrity in fits of anger, in the throes of hate, of unrequited love, of despair and anxiety. The function of magic is to ritualize man's optimism, to enhance his faith in the victory of hope over fear. Magic expresses the greater value for man of confidence over doubt, of steadfastness over vacillation, of optimism over pessimism.”

In the midst of a global crisis, that’s exactly what magick gave me — optimism, confidence, and a thread of stability when everything else felt uncertain. I think that’s also why so many others turned toward witchcraft and new age spirituality during that time: it was a way to ground ourselves in a chaotic world.

A Spark That Never Went Out

For my final art project in high school, I created a comic book filled with witchy knowledge. That project lit a spark in me that’s still burning.

Witchcraft blended everything I loved: creativity, nature, animals, sacred texts, spiritual exploration, self-care, and more.

At first, I hid it. Growing up Christian had skewed my sense of morality and acceptability. But witchcraft embraced me fully.

Beyond Black and White

In the biblical story, when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, they began to judge between good and evil — and their suffering began.

Witchcraft offers a different perspective: left-hand and right-hand paths aren’t strictly “good” or “evil,” just as yin and yang aren’t moral judgments. They are two sides of the same coin — light and dark, quiet and loud, moon and sun.

This freedom reshaped my worldview. I learned to let go of judgment and embrace life’s complexities. Not everything is black or white — and that’s beautiful.

Moving Forward

That’s my story — a short one, but a true one.

From here, this blog will explore in-depth witchy topics, spell recipes, and reflections that tie magick to our modern urban world.

✨ Stay tuned, fellow seekers. The journey is just beginning. ✨
