What is the Witch's Mirror Experience?

The Witch's Mirror is a rare offering to embark on a deep-dive study of magick, one-on-one with me, in the supernatural city of New Orleans.

This experience is a 5-day/5-night journey, where the primary focus is to amplify, accelerate and nurture your truest magick purpose.

I will craft custom rituals, build magick spells, and create adventure quests in New Orleans that will engage and support your greatest mystical gifts.

• The Magick Intention.
  • Upon enrollment, we will schedule a 1-hour zoom meeting, where I will ask focused questions to uncover where you are in your journey, and what you most desire to work on for our 5 days together. 
• The Journey. 
  
  • Five soul-nourishing days/nights (Monday- Friday) of performing custom rituals, casting spells and exploring quests throughout New Orleans that I personally custom designed to suit your magick needs, based on your magick intention.

• The Enchanted Accommodations
  • Six days and five nights at The Lady Ferdinand. Open the forest green antique shutters to your own private quarters in my magical Victorian Cottage in the Marigny Historical District of New Orleans. You have your own entrance, your own front parlour, your own full kitchen, stocked with coffees and Snowy Owl Teas, plus your own bedroom and private bath with a vintage clawfoot bathtub!  

• Tea & Tarot:
  
  • Once you settle in, I will brew up some tea and throw down some tarot cards to begin our journey. The stories informed by the cards, will help to accentuate our week together.
• The Cauldron Council:
  • Each morning, we stir the cauldron of your deepest magick through focused questions,  brainstorming, writing prompts and mind journeys to uncover mystical answers. 
• The Three Skeleton Key Quests of the Crescent City:
  • Side-by-side, we shall embark upon a Ritual Quest in three sacred locations in New Orleans:
    • The Quest of Crows & Crossroads
    • The Quest of Roots & Bones
    • The Quest of the River of Time
• The Seance of Your Sacred Self Ceremony:  
  • In this Past Life ritual, summon visions & clues to your own ancient wisdom through combining the elements of what you learned this week in the Witch's Mirror. Activate your anointing oil, speak your incantation, honor your relic and work the enchanted Witch Mirror to reach back into former lifetimes and knowledge.
• The Bones of the Bonfire:
  • Evening channeling sessions at the bonfire and moonlight oracle. Weather depending - our evening sessions will be held at the backyard bonfire or at the candlelit hearth in the Parlour.

Why I Created The Witch's Mirror.

As a guide, a lineage Witch and a facilitator of Witch Camp for over a decade, I know for sure that my greatest work in this world is to help stir your ancient memory of all of the magick you hold within and guide you to activate it to transform your life in the most rewarding and beautiful ways. 

My personal mission in creating The Witch's Mirror is to uplift and support you on your own journey, so that you may fully embrace your unique supernatural gifts and uncover powers you might not have even been aware of.

As tradition in my lineage, my Grandma Helen held me in her arms when I was a baby and deemed that my life purpose gift was "the Mirror". I talk about that in my book, Bohemian Magick, about learning when I was six years old that my Grandma had intuited that about my life path. As a 6 year old, I was disappointed because I knew my Grandma Helen's magick purpose had been deemed, "love", by my Great-Grandma Anna when she first held my Grandma in her arms. I wanted the gift of love!  As an adult, I have realized what a treasure it is to have this gift of being "the Mirror", as I truly can see and reflect the very best of people back to them to see!

• I will help open your eyes to the gifts about yourself that you have not seen before.
• I am here as a mirror to reflect your unique gifts, skills and special strengths back to you.
• I believe that true magick is a matter of remembering what's already within you and giving that a voice.

I am deeply passionate about working magick with Witches in both large and small groups. As 2025 is dawning, I did soul-mining work in what new offerings I would be passionate to create - and the thought that kept sparking excitement in me was:

"What if...you could work one-on-one with people and focus entirely on that person's story, gifts and dreams to help accelerate them on their path through building custom rituals, spells and quests?"

The idea was so juicy and exciting to me, that I crafted this offering of the Witch's Mirror to share with you. 🩷
