Hello
I'm that mystically-inclined potato who's been sneaking occult books past concerned parents since the 90s. These days I'm less about hiding and more about finding my way through the weird and wonderful world of esoteric practice - usually with all the grace of a root vegetable rolling downhill. When I'm not pondering the mysteries of the universe or accidentally summoning something interesting, you'll find me hanging out with my dogs, in the garden, or hiding in a comfy corner with a good book.
Backstory (mistakes were made)
The short version? I've been poking at the boundaries of reality since I could reach the library's occult section (which was conveniently tucked away in a dark corner - thanks, suburban Australia). The long version involves a winding path through Christianity, spirit work, automatic writing, and enough divination tools to open a metaphysical warehouse.
Then life happened. Career chaos, family drama, and eventually a medical crisis that left me in such a dark place that Nietzsche could have moonlighted as a motivational speaker. I emerged from that particular rabbit hole with a different perspective on... well, everything.
These days, I'm writing about the weird and wonderful world of esoteric practice - not as some enlightened guru, but as someone who's still figuring it out. Think of me as your mystical guinea pig, testing the waters and reporting back. Sometimes it works beautifully, sometimes it blows up in my face, but it's never boring.
