I’ve always been into the occult.
As a little kid at my very strict parochial school, I would sneakily check off the boxes in my Scholastic Book Fair order forms to procure “forbidden” titles like Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Teen Witch: Wicca for a New Generation. I totally think it’s a #GrowingUpGayInCatholicChurch thing — the attraction to magic, the drama of casting spells, sparkly crystals and their mystical properties. There’s a certain energy I’ve always derived from it. I suppose when you feel loss of power, you search for things that help you regain that sense of control. I guess that’s what magic has always been about for me: feeling powerful. Wow, therapy vibes…
In my ripe old age of 31 I’ve come across so many tools and tricks that have helped step into that power. My goal with this series is to impart what I’ve learned to you in a way that is easy to digest. Pantry Magic, get it? Things that have helped me dig deep to understand myself and the world around me. I’ll continue to share what’s worked for me, not as an authority but rather, a friend that just knows you need practical weeknight-able, WFH-able, FUN ways to connect to your power. Stay tuned for some Sandra Bullock/Nicole Kidman/Stockard Channing/Dianne Wiest shit.
