    • About Me

      actually living in Charlotte, NC right now but not ready to call it home. I love animals and have worked at various animal hospitals over the years. Also had the experience of hand raising a baby raven and volunteered at the local wildlife park. Interested in witchcraft and like to do spells but mostly feel that whatever one believes is right for them. So I tend to call on all powers when needed. Earned a 2nd degree reiki but not sure what for yet because I hardly ever practice. If only I could heal myself.
