About Shivian
I thrive within design and magick, starlight and music, laughter and love. I find joy in close friends, amateur photography, warm bonfires, starlit nights, and a vegan diet.
I am a witch; one who walks the crooked path and practices my arte in a way that's often ecstatic, woven amongst the spirits and gods, stars and land.
Witching interests include moving betwixt the spirits of the garden and greenwood seeking phytognosis; weaving amongst the stars and the black road between; brewing potions of life and death; scrying the fate of men and women amongst card, star, or bone; and horsing for the gods and spirits of lands seen and unseen.
Inspiration for my craft oft comes from traditional European practices, amongst others; and I work with the Elder Gods, revered by the ancient peoples of Greece.
Professionally I am a website and graphic designer & developer, over the years having worked for the likes of Mercedes-Benz, Hyatt, and Sears.
I live with my two cats in Chicago, IL where I run Potionwood, a witchcraft parlor specializing in unique solutions for your every wish.
