Take your Witchcraft Deeper

Real Advice for Real Witches

At the heart of witchcraft lays our connection to the Land. We see this in the tools we use and the heavy focus within witchcraft to create real and lasting changes within our everyday lives. It is through that connection that we become more effective, that we learn to walk the line between the physical and spiritual worlds, and to access true power.

But so much of what gets passed off as witchcraft now is tied up in trends and consumerism, it's based upon having the right aesthetic. There’s no depth. There’s no accuracy. There’s no doing of witchcraft.

If you're sick of the bullshit and want a no frills approach to witchcraft founded upon efficacy, practicality, and common sense, let’s work together to pierce the depths and strengthen your witchcraft practice.

Dismantling Toxic “Respect” to Forge Deep Relationships with the Land & its Spirits

Regardless of the trappings and labels we may latch onto and tie into our crafts, one thing lays at the heart of witchcraft that binds us all. This is our connection with the land and its spirits (conjointly called the Land). Our connection with the Land and the effort we put into our relationships with these spirits, the genius loci, touches all aspects of our practices. We see this in the tools we use—herbs, stones, a lovely shell from the river, a pinch of dirt from a place of power—as well as in the simple focus of our magick. While other systems seek to transcend the everyday or to even attain godhead, witchcraft seeks to improve our everyday lives and to help us live more honestly: to see the world more fully for what it truly is and to embrace the wonder and beauty of being physically incarnate.
