Alyssa (she/they) is a Cultural Studies-trained eclectic witch. Central to all they do is the desire to plant seeds of collective healing. 

Her current works include Critical Magick, a Substack publication of cultural analysis and thought exploration, and Shadow Swamp Creative, a zine-making collaboration with friend and artist Eilish Pratt.

I offer…

I offer reading sessions of various lengths, in which we can use the tarot (and oracles) to explore specific quandaries, help make decisions, or simply place yourself on your hero’s journey. I let your inquiry guide the way I pull, and use the cards to start an insightful dialogue, pulling clarifying cards around that insight if necessary. My goal is for you to leave with a greater sense of purpose and clarity.

As an artist myself, I understand that creating while keeping the audience’s perception in mind can be incredibly stifling. Nevertheless, it’s our responsibility as artists to make informed and aware content that respects the humanity of those our art portrays. My role as a cultural consultant is to help you maintain both artistic and social integrity.
