One of my favorite quotes is “You are a ghost, driving a meat coated skeleton made of stardust riding a rock hurtling through space. Fear nothing.”
I don’t know who originally said it and I am grateful that they did because it really sums up this whole spiritual being having a physical experience thing we do. In the grand scheme of all of time and space, we are a wonder! The simple fact that we exist is so amazingly cool and fantastic that we need to be reminded that we are stardust.
I had to remind myself that I am stardust and to fear nothing as I began this blog post because what if not a single soul ever read it? What if people are mean in the comments? What if none of this makes sense outside my own mind? What if? What if all of these things are true, what then?
So what. If no one ever reads these words and if they do they think I have no idea what I’m talking about, so what. What others think about me doesn’t really concern me now does it. So here it goes.
Hi! I’m Niccole, the person behind Hearth & Hedge Metaphysics and I’ll be your tour guide. With a formal education in psychology, gender studies, energy and sound healing, and Divinity work as well as personal interests in spiritual neuroscience, hiking and camping, foraging and gardening, fiber arts, and divination work it is easier to say I am a knower of things and a do-er of stuff. I am a lifetime learner and think gatekeeping is bullshit so I tend to info dump on folx whenever possible. I am a queer Hearth Witch who walks the hedge and has been drawn to shadow and death work for as long as I can remember. Teaching others is a joyful experience for me because when we share knowledge, our community is strengthened and strong communities are vital for our survival.
Hearth & Hedge Metaphysics is a way for me to be my authentic self while serving my community. I love working with folx and being a guide on their journey, wherever that leads them.
