My Story
I grew up in the backwoods of Massachusetts, had my first mediumship experience at age three, began reading tarot cards at twelve, and have been mystified by the occult ever since. An Intuitive Reader and Medium at the Green Man store in North Hollywood, I offer phone and Zoom readings, spellcrafting services, a psychic development circle series, mediumship training, animal communication, and Victorian table tipping seances.
​
I was raised on nature magick, obsessed with Norse mythology in grade school, studied Wicca in high school, and practiced Egyptian magick in college. Later I was initiated into the Covenant of Hekate, trained in British Traditional Craft, and studied ceremonial magick. I consider my current practice a mixed brew of all I've learned as I weave my mediumship with witchcraft and spellcasting.
​
I'm certified in Level 3 (or Master) Reiki (Usui and Holy Fire methods), as well as being certified in Animal Reiki (Let Animals Lead method). I've communicated personally with animals my whole life, especially as a cat rescuer for the past three decades, but decided to pursue it professionally. Now, in addition to animal reiki, I offer animal communication and mediumship. I also teach Intro to Pet Communication: Living and Beyond.
Although I read privately for many years, my career launched after I was selected to be one of four psychics for Midsummer Scream’s popular Leota’s Lounge at the Grim Grinning Gala. Since then I've been featured on many occult and paranormal podcasts and publications like Sheena Metal’s Raising The Vibration on LA Talk Radio, Dead Air, the Glitter Cast, Where the Magick Happens, Arcane Magazine, Voyage LA, Shondaland, and My Imperfect Life, as well as the Dark Zone Network’s LAPD Haunted Hollywood event. I even led a ritual at Bell, Book, and Candle’s “Seance”!
I run the popular @AmericanWitch13 account on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, where I share custom spells, witch tips, and memes. An author and researcher, I wrote tarot-based horoscopes for The Heights Inc (Boston College school paper), my poetry has appeared in the periodicals Shards, The Outer Fringe, and The Laughing Medusa, and I have written articles for Feminine Power Circle, Savvy Authors, SF Signal, The Qwillery, and The Milipitas Beat. I've also appeared in the anthology books Folk Horror Revival: Field Studies and Folk Horror Revival: Corpse Roads. I've published four books and recently finished my fifth for Callisto Publishing (an imprint of Sourcebooks) called 30 Real Signs from the Afterlife. I also released a web series on witches called Secrets of the Craft for Dead Air: Full Spectrum.
I'm available for intuitive and mediumship readings, custom spells, energy healing sessions, paranormal investigations, seances, interviews, articles, podcast guest spots, classes, workshops, retreats, and book signings.
