Magic and Shamanic Living for People Who Don't Have Their Sh*t Together
Hey witchy friends! Tired of just thinking about doing magic and rituals and ready to actually DO them? I got you! Download the "Just Do the Dang Ritual!" guide and step into your magical, shamanic self already!
New Around Here?
To the witchy, the mystical, the spiritually curious, and the “I don’t call myself anything but I believe in magic all the same.” Welcome.
Pull up a chair, grab some tea, and come chill with me in my messy backyard. This is a safe yet magical space where we talk to rocks, make moon water we forget to use, light candles without giving a fudge about what color they are, do our inner work even when it’s hard, and generally fumble our way through some kind of magical practice.
Around here, there is no perfect ritual or guidebook you have to follow. We all have dishes in the sink and bills to pay, but we’re going to live a magical life anyway. Because magic helps us better navigate daily life, and it really doesn’t have to be complicated.
It’s all about being present and grounded. Doing your inner work, paying a little attention to both the mundane and spirit worlds around you, and then just doing the dang ritual already.
Stick around, and you’ll see how easy, and meaningful it can actually be. This stuff is supposed to be fun and empowering, after all.
Ready to do this? Sign up to receive a FREE "Just Do the Dang Ritual" Guide and come hang out in the backyard.
Hey there! I'm Nicole.
Well hello there, and welcome to my magical home on the interwebs. My name is Nicole, and I fancy myself a many-armed goddess (ha!). By profession, I am an acupuncturist, Chinese herbalist, and shamanic practitioner. By life, I am a mom, a wife, and an animist (this means I actually do talk to rocks. And trees. And the sky). By hobby, I am a writer, a podcaster, a tarot reader, and too many more to list (oh- did I mention I’m a Gemini? Squirrel!)
I blend all of my various skills, hobbies, and interests together to create my own unique style of spiritual, shamanic, and witchy practice that helps keep me sane in this crazy world. I write and speak about noticing the magic all around you and am particularly partial to helping people connect with the spirit of the land, wherever in the world they are.
I have found my spiritual practice to be a vital tool that helps me feel more magical and alive, and I am passionate about helping others to create their own practices that fill their cups, too. Because life doesn’t need to be so hard, and it’s much better when we all feel a little magical.
