WHAT DRIVES THE STORE...
"The possession of knowledge unless accompanied by a manifestation and expression in action, is like the hoarding of precious metals — a vain and foolish thing" — The Kybalion
I have many reasons I created 'TheCraftWithin' — Ive been studying and practicing witchcraft for about a decade now and over the course of my journey I have met many powerful and intelligent individuals who've inspired me to be the witch I am today — And, I don't mean just witches either, I'm talking about your art teachers, activists, philosophers, scientists — Those intelligent and curious beings that strive to learn, create, and teach others — *Those* are the kinds of individuals that inspire what I do here — I strive to research and perfect my craft as I believe anything worth doing, is worth doing well — Not only because I value educating myself, but also because I value my community — As I build and grow this store, I hope to supply you with the *ultimate* database of witchery that will be your #1 go to when times get tough — All this, with the promise of providing you with high quality products, accurate readings, powerful spellwork, and most importantly, the promise to experience the deep transformation you seek!

MEET THE WITCH BEHIND IT ALL...
Born and raised in Arkansas, I am a 23 year old Witch and Diviner — Pronouns are He/They — I love animals and have a strong passion for learning and adventure — My dream is to not only be a successful witch, actor, and singer/songwriter but to be a multifaceted individual full of experience and the capacity to inspire even the most unhopeful of hearts.

Growing up, I've always been fascinated with the idea of witches and witchcraft, I still remember goofing around as a kid off in the woods of Pangburn, Arkansas "pretending" to be a witch and casting spells with mud and sticks (honestly don't we all? This is the first sign most of us had that we were ACTUALLY witches!)
But, it wasn't until I stumbled upon the craft at 12 years old through a friend back in middle school when I first started practicing *for real* and developing my understanding of witchcraft — Unfortunately with Arkansas being a part of the Bible Belt, being a witch or even acknowledging witchcraft was very frowned upon and often feared — It's also a topic that you won't find around many stores just because of how the area has been colonized, so even learning it is hard — Luckily were in the Age of Information though and I have a strong determination to learn so that did not stop me
Since discovering the craft it's been a looong spiritual journey full of wonder, friendships, miracles, and the yearning to discover the unknown! Even though its been a decade, you never stop learning.
My first huge step in the craft was when I was a teen, I was initiated into Wicca by a High Priest, completing the day and a year (If you know, you know) — I did settle for a year or so and didn't practice because of life events but eventually got back to it — But nowadays I've grown apart from the Wiccan traditions into a more personal and eclectic practitioner
My practice is quite diverse but I primarily work with Hekate, the elements, my guides, local nature spirits, and the planetary energies, things of the sorts — If you're interested check out the store TikTok to get a closer look into my personal practice.
As tough as my childhood was though, I can gladly say that im in a better place because of what witchcraft did for me — In just a few years I've managed to leave Arkansas for California and start my business and life anew with my partner — Letting go of what no longer serves me and embracing the things that do — The best decision I've ever made
