Author’s 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.
