Awakening the Wild Witch Audiobook: Chapter 2

Dear ones,

I feel it is time for an update on the Awakening the Wild Witch audiobook project.

I’m happy to let you know that the recording of Awakening the Wild Witch is under way. Such work can be slow as time and consideration needs to be taken to record the book in the best way to ca...

Seasonal Magic and Shadow work

Dear ones,

As I write this, Halloween approaches: that liminal time when the veil grows thin and the world feels hushed, expectant. The air holds the scent of endings and beginnings intertwined. The light lingers gold for a moment before slipping away, and somewhere inside us, something ancient stirs. If you are looking...

Hello, my lovelies.

New merch!

Hello my lovelies,

I hope you all had a lovely week!

It's time for Sacred Shadow Work 🌑

Dear one,

I want to share something personal with you.

The past year has been one of the hardest I’ve ever gone through in my life. After so much soaring success - my books reaching an audience of hundreds of thousands of people and many of my dreams coming true - a new season descended, as space opened inside m...

Azalea Burk: Mistress of Shadows

Azalea Burk is no ordinary guide to the dark. To call her a master of shadow work is to understate the centuries she has spent in the company of fear, rage, and forbidden desire. She is not afraid of the unconscious. She courts it, waltzes with it, hosts it as though it were a guest of honour at a velvet-draped banquet.
