A sacred conversation for those still carrying shame in the name of God Religious trauma is a topic many people hesitate to address — often out of fear of offending believers or being perceived as hostile toward faith itself. And to be clear from the beginning: this conversation is not about mocking religion, dismissing spirituality, or making religious people feel small. It is about naming something that is real, researched, and lived by many: certain religious systems and p

The truth is—we all live inside stories. Psychologists call this personal logic : the private reasoning we build out of our own perceptions ( Wahrnehmung ) and interpretations ( Apperzeption ). To us, it feels like truth—solid, unquestionable reality. But in fact, it’s a personal story , filtered through our unique lens. That’s the catch: we don’t experience “reality” directly. We experience our version of it. And while that story can empower us, it can just as easily box us

There’s a part of me that hesitated to write this. Not because I’m unsure of what I feel — but because I know it will ruffle some feathers. Especially in the spiritual space. But as a witch and urban mystic and as someone, who experiences shadow work as something important as well, I believe in saying the things that are hard to say, especially when they hide behind glittery words and polished crystals. So here it is: Not all pain is divinely planned. Not every trauma is a

Let’s talk about that day. The one where your inbox is a horror story, your calendar is gaslighting you, and your nervous system is asking for a refund before 10 a.m. Yep. It’s Monday. While the world grinds its gears and glorifies hustle culture, you — modern mystic, quiet rebel, city witch in sneakers — are doing something else. You’re surviving Monday. And honestly? That’s witchcraft. Monday is a Portal It’s not just the start of the work week. It’s a shift in energy, a

Let’s spill the tea:I go through phases where I don’t feel witchy at all. No spells. No rituals. No dancing under moons or whispering...

I’m not a Wiccan. Never have been. But as someone who’s walked the witchy path for most of her life — urban, feminist, mystic — I can...

Our journey to the Abbey Library of St. Gallen began on the train from Zurich. A chai latte in hand, snippets of conversation about myths, old systems, and modern spirituality in our ears. Classic Urban Mystic everyday life—just this time framed by baroque grandeur. St. Gallen greets you with a mix of history and small-town charm. From the very first step into the monastery grounds, you can feel it: here once stood power. Knowledge. Control—and alongside it, a deep longing fo

I grew up close to nature, in a small town nestled by the edge of a forest — I’ve harvested wild herbs, picked berries, and known the...

She’s standing on the beach, sunlight wrapped around her like a second skin, barefoot, unapologetic. In her hands? A thick, ripe slice of watermelon—held right in front of her Yoni. And in that moment, the image says everything society has tried to silence: My body is juicy. My pleasure is mine. My femininity is not for your shame. Let’s talk about it. Let’s talk about the watermelon. Let’s talk about the Yoni. Because yes—this is a fruit that’s messy, sweet, and bursting wit

Lately, I’ve seen a wave of “ex-witch” testimonies pop up on social media—clips of people claiming they were involved in witchcraft and nature-based spirituality, only to be “saved” from it after experiencing severe mental health decline. And while I genuinely don’t doubt the reality of their emotional struggles, I do take issue with one dangerous claim: that witchcraft or paganism causes poor mental health. As both a mental health professional and a long-time practicing witc

When you think of Paganism, what comes to mind? A bonfire under the full moon? A witch in all black? Maybe druids with staffs or goddesses with flowing hair? Or perhaps you’re not quite sure what it even is — except that it seems old, mystical, maybe a little rebellious. For some, the word Pagan conjures images of nature, ritual, and magic. For others it might trigger unease. Devil worship? Dangerous cults? Something dark and forbidden? Let’s clear that up right away: Pagani

Queer, Fluid, and Fierce: Deities Who Mirror Us Not everyone finds themselves in a church. Some find themselves in the mirror. Or in Loki, who gives birth. In Inari, who dances between genders. In a goddess who is also a god. I realized early on that traditional images of God weren’t made for me. The bearded father in the sky felt distant. The silently suffering mother goddess, too. What I longed for was a divine reflection that made space for contradiction, for ecstasy, for

For over two decades, I have walked a spiritual path that honors a rich tapestry of divine beings—gods, goddesses, and everything in...
