Hi! I’m Laurali…
Growing up, I was a shy, weirdo child who loved life science and writing poetry. I was the girl who wore dresses and caught frogs with the boys.
These days, I live in a tiny, seaside fishing village in Florida. Here, at home, I wander, wildcraft, and press flowers in a book. I’m also studying to become an herbalist with Herbal Academy, which is a long-standing dream of mine!
I’ve always been a green witch at heart. With green hearthcraft, I get to take my botanical studies into the home. Everything, from tea witchcraft to working with house spirits, is part of my everyday, mundane life. I’m so glad you could join me! xo
Cool Curiosities
One thing that most people don’t know about me is that I like to collect cool curiosities. I keep them on a shelf to show them off. I have a master root under a glass dome, pinned butterflies, a muskrat skull, a wasp nest, rattlesnake ribs, a cicada wing in a vial, miniature dried frogs and lizards, a nigella pod, hawthorn thorns, an alligator scute, and a naturally shed deer antler. All of these are ethically sourced, and I find they make a great conversation starter! xo
My magic has evolved and changed through the years, as magic often does. My magical green hearthcraft practice has somehow, someway become built into me. Working with plant spirits is as natural as breathing to me!
I practice green hearthcraft, which to me is like bringing nature into the home! To me, it’s like green witch meets kitchen, hedge, and the hearth. Everything starts in nature and ties back into the home.
I also practice Catholic Folk Magic. You might see a lot of articles about saints, angels, and Mother Mary. You might discover that I have a penchant for folkloric curiosities and oddities, including ancestor veneration and ghost magic.
I also practice rootwork and conjure, and feel like I may have had a past life in the Southeastern part of the United States, where hoodoo and swamp magic are more prevalent. When I was eighteen, I swear it felt like something, or someone, was calling me home, back to my roots.
Quiet days are spent meandering the forest floor with my little backpack, full of vials for collecting specimens. I forage for mushrooms and wildcraft for cool curiosities I can add to my collection. Cozy nights are spent curling up with an herbal tea blend, an enchanted blanket, and a good book!
