I’m grateful that my feelings of magic as a child never left me. I was born in the middle of the witching hour the day before Halloween, so liminal spaces have always been my favorite places to hang out. I remember telling my parents that I wanted to be a fortune teller when I grow up and I’m happy to say that I have grown up to become many things, including a fortune teller of sorts (a Conjurewoman and astroherbalist). I love being a conduit between the spirit and physical world. The work is heavy, but my ancestors help me keep it light and come up for air.
