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.

Alive with Spirits:
The Path and Practice of Animistic Witchcraft

In many ways, this book is a handbook for inscendence—for sinking oneself deeper into the land, into physicality, into the wonder that is life and living—and for building deep relationships with the many spirits with whom we share this world. It is a means of support while working to actively peel back the layers of overculture influence that keep us searching for connection yet unable to find and hold onto it. It is a source of guidance to discover the layering of spirit world and physical world, how that same layering is present within us, and how embracing the existence of that layering can help us to discover wholeness within the land and ourselves. It is a reminder of a worldview that exists as the birthright of humanity, that is available to us to reclaim, and that holds true potential for us to forge intimate relationships with the land and its spirits.
