Thank you to the extremely talented @ikushikush who gifted me this gorgeous labradorite moth pendant she made me. Super stunning! 😍

I once told @mr.devinhunter @faerywolf and @modernconjure about how when I was about three years old I was obsessed with treasure trolls (the old school ones not the newer weird ones) and how one day my step father sold every single one of my toys and my brother’s toys while we were sleeping one night for his addiction to the neighbor (who was his dealer and whose kids were our friends) and I had to watch them play with our toys and couldn’t do anything about it and how much it broke my little child heart to lose my beloved trolls. So among the holiday gifts I receive from from the guys this year were some of the classic treasure trolls, which is one of the sweetest and most thoughtful gifts anyone has ever given me. Also pictured is Brian Froud’s Trolls book because it seemed fitting. I’m a huge fan of his work and collect his books and oracle decks and such.

In other book news, Psychic Witch in Spanish is FINALLY available for Pre-Order on Amazon!

My second book’s cover reveal! @llewellynbooks @silverravenwolf

Thank you @femmeocculte, the Czech occult magazine, for this overly generous gorgeous two-page glowing review of @psychicwitchbook! “Mat Auryn is an amazing contemporary figure in witchcraft, magick, and the occult, and his work is as significant as was Buckland’s Big Blue in the Czech Republic in the 1990s or Cunningham’s Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner in Poland.” 😳🙏🏻❤️

I grew up watching The Golden Girls. My favorite character on the show was the naive, kind, confused, and funny Rose, played by @bettymwhite. To this day I still binge episodes, as its one of my comfort shows. I have loved Betty White almost my entire life. Thank you Betty for making the planet just a little bit funnier, kinder, and more entertaining. Thank you for all the laughs and all the work you’ve done for animals and people. Hail the Traveler!

2021 was a year that I started tracking down and collecting books written by Sybil Leek. All of her works are out of print and hard to find and she was a super prolific writer having authored well over 20 books, so there’s still so many to find. For those unfamiliar with her, here’s a short bio from Controverscial.com: Sybil Leek was an English Witch, a gifted Psychic, Astrologer and prolific Author who wrote more than 60 books on such subjects as Astrology, Numerology and Reincarnation.  She was born with a witch’s mark and claimed to be a hereditary witch of Irish and Russian Descent.  A colorful character in her time, her trademarks were a cape, loose gowns and a pet jackdaw named Mr. Hotfoot Jackson perched on her shoulders.  She always wore a crystal necklace that she claimed had been passed down to her from a psychic Russian grandmother.  Her entire family was involved in astrology and some of the guests who visited her home included: H.G. Wells, Lawrence of Arabia and Aleister Crowley. Sybil claimed to be able to trace her mother’s ancestry back to the witches of southern Ireland in 1134, and her father’s ancestry to occultists close to royalty in czarist Russia.

One of the many things my talented partner @modernconjure does is make spirit boards, signs, and other divinatory tools out of wood for @daturatrading. He also made this really cool life size wooden sign of my book with the lasers from his villain laboratory. Apparently lasers can be used for more than world domination and confusing cats. 🤷‍♂️
