How My Fear of Loneliness Became A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

Years ago, I would’ve been the last person to say this, but I actually find myself enjoying solitude and other meditative practices. Being alone has been healing to me in more ways than one. Perhaps, too “healing” because I might’ve found myself in a ditch that I don’t want to get out of. Has solitude saved me or swallowed me? You tell me.

5 Fantasy Tropes We Need To Shelve (Sincerely, An Occultist)

Practicing the occult and studying the occult are two separate things, both of which I’ve made quite the eventful life out of. Now reading and watching fantasy as you gradually shift from a regular outsider to the practitioners depicted on screen? That’s a whole ‘nother rodeo! Watch me weave through five fantasy tropes that personally feel more vexing than magical. And if anyone cares, no wands were waved during the making of this video–not if you count the one I used to make this post. Hey, it’s better than AI.

Hey folks, I'm back with this week's video! And currently working hard to make sure Moonpocks: Phase 1, Pock 2 comes to you soon.

If you're interested in seeing more fantasy / occult content from me, give this a watch and let me know what you think!

Is Being Embarrassing The End Of The World?

Is Being Embarrassing The End Of The World?

Look, I get it. Reputation is everything. The backlash of social media can be bruuutal. But, do we all need to pretend our own sh*t doesn't

I get it. Reputation is everything. The backlash of social media can be brutal. But, do we all need to pretend our own sh*t doesn't stink? I don’t know about you, but I’d like to see something a little more human–a little more real. And oftentimes, that ‘something human’ is straight-up cringe. Watch my new video on dealing with cringe because deep down,  no matter how old we get,  we all care a tiny bit. It’s only a question of how much you’re willing to let people get to you.

The Ugly Side of Audio Drama And...Me.

No one said being creative came without its challenges. And a mountain of credit card debt, but that’s neither here nor there. In this video, I discuss the bumpy rollercoaster ride that is my Audio Drama Journey. As a certified penny-pinching noob (are we still saying noob in 2026?), learning how to be my own playwriter-audio engineer-social media marketer came with loads of obstacles. All which stemmed from a mind-numbing obsession with being “Ugly”…as in capital U, yes.

Hey guys! Check out my newest video and let me know what you think!

So, It Turns Out I'm Still Alive? Shocker.

°• Surprise, everyone!

I know it’s been a long while since my last post. I sincerely apologize for my hiatus and appreciate those of you who’ve stood by.

I have a couple updates concerning Native Fay and my audio drama. I didn’t want you all to think that I had completely abandoned the project because that is far from the truth. I’m still extremely passionate about Moonpocks. It’s a story I hold close to my heart. 

In all honesty, I realized I bit off a bit more than I could chew and wanted to adjust my content accordingly. I am working solo and can't afford any assistance, so producing a single chapter or video of any kind can be time-intensive, especially with the wrenches life throws in. I figured it was better to recognize my shortcomings before I got in too deep and betray people's expectations.

So far, I have uploaded a revision of Pock 0. Pock 1 is coming very soon. I strongly recommend a re-listen if you want to grasp the full context of the drama. While much of the story remains intact, many of the details and interactions have been altered to enrich the narrative.

On a final note, I do have a few Youtube videos queued up, one of which covers my personal journey with audio drama. Many of my upcoming videos will be inspired by Moonpocks and its occult foundations, so please check them out!

I do hope you enjoy this revival of Native Fay. Once again, thank you for your patience and please stay tuned for more!

Pro tip from an audio drama lover: You can just change your settings on your phone/laptop to make everything come out mono if you want to.

--Sincerely someone who listens with one headphone in and recalls being thwarted by some stereo podcasts that would edit things to be more immersive but not in a way that works with one headphone.

Fire and Ego

Fire has such an interesting relationship with Ego. I'm still a noob when it comes to certain occult subjects, but I wanted to explore these thoughts through the lenses of astrology and tarot. I find that the zodiac (Aries/Leo/Sagittarius) and the Wands suit exemplify the egotism of Fire so well.

Breakdown

Aries tends to be fiercely competitive and combative (warrior spirit), demanding to be rightfully acknowledged as #1.

Leo is commonly perceived to have a Narcissus complex. Leos are seen to be self-absorbed and selfish divas, obsessed with their own image. After all, everything revolves around the Sun, right?

The shadow side of Sagittarius is their tendency to moralize. They often desire to appear intellectually and/or ethically superior to others. This is the sign affiliated with planet Jupiter and the 9th house whose dominion is higher education, religion & philosophy, travel and expansion.

•••

Is it because it lights up a room? Was one of the earliest tools of survival? I wonder what else about Fire inspires such confidence--or, arrogance, as some might argue.

Final Word

I've been feeling drawn to Fire lately--fire signs, candle spells, etc. It's been really interesting subject to delve into since my last dip in the pool with elemental studies. Our ancestors had such a unique way of illustrating the patterns of life and human behavior.

I’ve clearly lit a fire under my butt, so expect a post on candle spells soon! My occultist past and present are strangely mixing in with Moonpocks in ways I didn’t expect.

Announcement

Hi everyone! I wanted to give a huge thank you to all those who followed me. I've given some of you a follow back and will probably get around to the rest of y'all later.

I'm working fiercely on Phase 2 (pen's on fire as we speak), but I wanted to give y'all a little heads up. In addition to Moonpocks, I'm also a real-life folk occultist + research junkie, so I'm gonna be posting insights I get in connection to the audio drama and Native Fay (hence, the title).

If spirituality makes you uncomfortable or not's your thing, feel free to ignore, unfollow--a girl's gotta do what she gots to do. I'm just letting you know what this page's about.

Smooches, loves! Stay true.

Synopsis

When a calamitous prophecy unfolds in the dreamworld, a bumbling apprentice vows to become a great Mystic and halt the resurrection of The Mad Ones. Little does she know, the real threat is not always the one you see coming. Power is both a gift and a curse.
