I’m a girl in my 30s living in Northen California. I’ve been married to my bestfriend 15 years and am the proud mom of our son Grim. I’m a life long trad dark punk. I’ve lived all over the country, from SF to New York, and inbetween. I’m a well traveled Gypsy. I come from an Irish Catholic fam (although more pagan in practice) of mostly women who have varying degrees of psychic abilities, all of us are extremely empathic. Throughout my entire life, I have had experiences with a variety of otherworldly entites, and the paranormal in general. I don’t know why or how this works, but “it” has been passed to my son. Without any outside influence, Grim began telling me about his encounters as soon as he could talk, and as if it were perfectly normal. Sense then we have had some experiences together. My grandmother taught me not to fear these thing’s, and often talked with spirits. Part of my path is to gain a better understanding of these experiences, where ever that may lead me as long as it’s the truth.

Throughout my life I’ve experienced a lot of trauma, and so much death. I dealt with that darkness by following the Johnny Thunders guide for healthy living! But today I have a wonderful fam, full of so much love. My boy’s are my saving grace, my reason for everything, along with my weirdo cats. In this way I’m the luckiest girl! For work I’m a freelance Illustrator, and currently working on an art show. As for my spiritual/magickal ambitions, they’re my main focus (after my family of course). As a teenager I was drawn into a Wiccan Coven, it was exciting at first but as I went deeper I found Wicca to be seriously lacking. I wanted something more palpable. I’ve dabbled in many aspects of magick, but my nomadic, rockn’roll lifestyle made it hard to be a committed practitioner. Over time I amassed quite an occult library! Now at this point in life I’ve finally gained some stability, learned to keep the darkness of my past at bay, and feel as though I’ve reached a maturity that will allow for me to re-dedicate myself to the craft. And while I might possess much occult knowledge, I consider myself a “newbie”. My goal is to start all over, and double down on study, and practise. I’ve had an interest in Enochian magick, yet I’ve always had a strong draw to Goetia in all it’s forms, so it’s there that I’m going to focus. Coming to this forum I am looking to find answers, and have an exchange of ideas. I am open to a mentor reltionship, but I don’t have time for nonsense. I’m an honest person looking for a genuine experience. It seems like there’s definitely some legitimate practitioners here, and a wealth of information! It is the closest thing to social media that I’m on, so it’s really a new experience. I look forward to learning, as well as contributing to this collective!
