The Mad Sorceress Grimoires
A Virtual Grimoire Written from a Chronic-Illness and Trauma-informed Perspective
Hi, everyone! My name is Sam, and I have been diagnosed with Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome since 2014, and Adenomyosis since 2018. I am a writer + blogger, and on my website, I journal about reclaiming personal power and healing through the help of inner-alchemy, astrology, synergetic herbs, the occult, and esotericism.
What is The Mad Sorceress Grimoires?
My blog is not made for everyone. We know that a Grimoire is a book with spells and incantations written in it. Grimoire comes from the Old French “grammaire”, which referred to all books that were written in Latin at the time. “Grammaire” comes from the Greek “grammatikos”.
This blog is meant to be a collection of works. Here is the breakdown of the blog:
This part of the blog is dedicated to leaning into a magical life from the perspective of someone who endures c-PTSD and chronic-illnesses. I will mention this a million times throughout this blog: I am not a licensed professional. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2013, and Adenomyosis in 2017. I am culling from lived experiences, and sharing that on this blog. Do not take my advice over the advice of licensed professionals who work with you directly.
This is where I write about how certain Astrological Archetypes have manifested for me in my real life. I enjoy exploring astrology, and I use it as a means to enhance my life by bringing my joy. Whether by natal or transit, I take a deep dive on the lessons that I’ve learned. Astrology is not meant to replace the advice of licensed professionals.
Bleak + Brooding Reveries :
I have recently opened my poetry blog back up! I have been inspired by automatic writing my entire life. A lot of my words come from hypnagogic experiences, meditative states, or automatic writing sessions.
Coming soon! As of July 2022, I became a student of Quantum Botanicals and Natural Medicine. During these modules, I experiment with certain herbs. I write about my experience with them. I enjoy learning about their chemical constituents, folk lore, history, and - OF COURSE - I want to know what the occultists had to say about them.
