Since then, they have authored multiple books and presented workshops across the United States on the art of witchcraft and glamour. Through this, they have made a name for themself as "The Glam Witch," known for their bubbly personality and eccentric flair for caftans, kimonos, the color pink...and powerful transformative magic.
