Hey, i’m leah, and I’m your neighborhood witch
who am i?
does anyone really know the answer to this question?
I mean, seriously - does anyone know? or do we all just go around saying “I know who I am” and “I stay true to myself” with no idea what it all means? because that’s how I’ve always felt. I’ve never known “who I am” - I have simply floated through life becoming an amalgamation of every fleeting interest I’ve ever had, every person I’ve ever met, and every expectation placed upon me.
that is, until I found astrology.
I consider myself a life-long agnostic, so when I began studying astrology in 2016, I had a little bit of a hard time accepting my quickly-growing belief in it. but I couldn’t shake the way that astrology fascinated me, encouraged my need to learn, and most of all, gave me the language to finally understand who I am.
witchcraft welcomed me home after I spent my whole life lost, wandering in the desert searching for myself.
dramatic, I know. but that really is the truth of it all. identity is something I have never understood or had a grasp on until I was finally give the tools to discover it.
why “your neighborhood witch”?
I built Your Neighborhood Witch (YNW) to bring witchcraft to - well - your neighborhood. to your turf. to your block, backyard, porch, living room, stoop - to your home. as your neighborhood witch, you can walk down your block, knock on my door, and come in to sit on my green sofa and talk about life. identity is for everyone, and I’m here to help you understand yours.
About the witch…
I’m Leah. Leo sun, Libra moon, Capricorn rising. I began studying astrology in 2016 and tarot in 2018. I’m self-taught but have studied under some phenomenal Salem witches.
identity is at the core of what I do, so I practice in a way that is gender-inclusive and affirming, LGBTQ+ sensitive, and informed by critical race theory. I have an academic background in history, international development, and education (that capricorn rising, am I right?), and i look to astrologers who work to decolonize astrology.
now tell me, who are you?
