For the new folks, I’m a queer & trans nonbinary author/illustrator working at the intersection of queerness, witchcraft, & spirituality. I’m the author of RADICAL TAROT and QUEER DEVOTION (May ‘25) and the author/illustrator of 2 queer tarot decks. I love pugs and houseplants and hate natzis. 💕
This is my favorite thing to hear! This, and that it was part of your deck-creation journey. That’s probably the biggest compliment ever, imo!

Hey, y’all! After burning out hard post-book launch, I’m slowly returning to social media! While I was away, I started a new project—a queer horror novel 🔪🩸🌈💉—and I’m halfway done. 😁 So my presence will still be spotty from the writing cave.

Just recorded a VERY COOL interview with a podcast I’m a huge fan of! We were originally supposed to record 2 weeks ago, but I got sick. I pulled cards for whether to reschedule. For no, I pulled The Hanged One. For yes, Page of Pents. And here he is again in my daily draw today! TAROT WORKS Y’ALL.

Literally SCREAMING that @kristenkorvette.bsky.social is reading my book!! *Witches, Sluts, Feminists* was so powerful for me. It’s the first place I read other queer and trans witches articulating that queerness, transness, and Other-ness can be a source of power. ❤️🔥
No better way to kick off Pride Month than by diving into the Queer Divine 🔮

Beginning @thewordwitch.bsky.social 's *Queer Devotion* tonight, and I love that I'm reveling in the chapter on Aphrodite after spending the day thinking on last year's Pride month ritual dedicated to Kybele...and planning for this year's to Inanna.

I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying it!! And I love that you’re planning a ritual to Inanna this year! I feel like she’s the deity we need for Pride 2025. Unashamedly genderqueer, indomitably powerful, no mercy. 🔥

I haven’t done a ritual there (what a cool idea!), but I pass by it multiple times a week and almost always remember to look up and say hi!
