Writing &
Scholarship

Inspired by Hekate’s three faces—maiden, mother, crone—my work unfolds in three modes: scholar, mystic, and fabulist. My research, mystical practice, and creative writing operate symbiotically. Within these practices, I read and write about magic, myth, translation, reception, astrology, queerness, and disability. My work interrogates modern rejuvenations and translations of ancient Greek astrological treatises and esoteric poetry, and I weave these into my speculative composting of ancient practices. This work also informs my in-progress surrealist novel which follows a translator, a psychic, a reincarnated folk singer, and a blacksmith on a mystical underworld journey.

I regularly offer lectures and workshops at universities. I am currently open to invitations that involve any aspect of the intersections of my magical, astrological, literary, and disability justice projects.
