Authorβs Note: This blog is a personal space for sharing my own experiences and perspectives on magic. While the broader website is home to educational resources on the Hagstone Tradition, many of the essays and reflections here focus on my individual magical practice, not necessarily the tradition as a whole.
Witchcraft is a deeply personal and diverse path, and my approach may not reflect the beliefs or methods of others. I encourage readers to explore, question, and adapt whatever resonates with them. Nothing shared here is intended as absolute truth or professional advice. Trust your intuition, do your own research, and walk the path that is right for you.

Rooted in Tradition: Finding Authentic Herbal Substitutes in Folk Magic
Finding the right herbal substitute isnβt just about matching magical propertiesβitβs about understanding the deeper symbolism, historical context, and method of use. A true replacement must honor the spirit of the original herb, not just its function in a spell. By weaving together folklore, historical research, and lived experience, I strive to ensure that every plant I work with is not only meaningful but also rooted in both tradition and my personal craft.
