I’ll Be Your Teacher
Although I’m a practicing astrologer, I had a secret witchcraft practice before I was even able to read charts. As my love of astrology grew over the years, it eventually intertwined with my ritual work, like two vines finding each other on a trellis.
In my sessions with clients, I often reference ritual work, offering planetary-based strategies for personal empowerment, deity work, and chart remediation. It is out of my love of the interconnectedness of all things that I now offer this class, which will help you get started on your own witchcraft journey.
You’ll leave this The Witch Triumvirate feeling deeply informed about how magic works, and ready to experiment with your own candles, grimoires, lunar cycles, and dreaming.
See you in class!
