The Metaphysical Haberdashery

I’ve spent much of my life wandering down curious roads, gathering old traditions, folk magic, strange stories, ancient symbols, and Wyrd things along the way. But recently, a thread pulled me back into my own bloodline, revealing a story that changed everything about how I view the work I do here.

 

I am a 16th great-granddaughter of Reverend John Knox—the man who wrote, championed, and signed the Scottish Witchcraft Act of 1563, legally codifying the persecution of magic users.

​

The past few years the threads pulled me all the way from Mexico to Scotland. I stood in St. Giles Cathedral - his home church where he presided as minister and was ultimately buried - and I walked up to The Witches' Well on the castle esplanade. I stood physically between the pulpit where he forged the lock and the ground where the bound souls paid the price. 

​

When I first found this knot in my lineage, the irony was breathtaking. But the Wyrd doesn't make mistakes. Time isn't linear; it is a great weaving. I realized that because my ancestors were the ones who helped forge the locks that bound our collective magic, I carry a specific, bloodline-deep authority to help unlock them.

 

The Metaphysical Haberdashery is my act of ancestral reclamation and healing. Where my lineage once created a decree of fear, I am building a sanctuary of safety.

 

If you carry the "witch wound"—the deep, inherited anxiety of being seen, sharing your intuition, or speaking your truth—know that you are welcome at my table. The line that once bound the magic has come full circle to help you release it.

 

It is safe to step into your power, and I am here to help you untangle the threads.
