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.

We are the Granddaughters of the Farmers who Composted their Eggshells: Reconsidering the Ancestral Witch in Contemporary Magical Practice
Calling every person who composted with eggshells or brewed mint for an upset stomach a witch reveals more about our own romanticisation of the past than it does about the reality of life before modern convenience. To honour our ancestors truly, we must let them speak for themselvesβacknowledging their practices without rewriting their identities.
