About Julie

Hi there! I’m Julie — a mid-fifties explorer of all things magical and witchy. I’m new to this enchanting world but diving in headfirst with curiosity, humor, and just a touch of skepticism. I’m happily married and share my home with Ellie, my black cat and potential familiar, and Ji-leng our roof dragon, a house gecko who hitchhiked from Florida (in our luggage) and is decidedly unimpressed with my magical aspirations. When I’m not lighting candles or marveling at crystals, you can find me curled up with a book, dreaming up new blog ideas, or laughing at my beginner witchcraft missteps. Join me as I navigate this mystical journey one spell, tarot card, rune, and cup of coffee at a time! This blog is a safe space for seekers to learn about spells, symbols, and the power of intention in the ancient practice of witchcraft.
