Why Hag?

Why is this site tarot and astrology by a hag? Because I’m a half-century old and it’s time to reclaim it, dammit!

  • Giving less fucks
  • Knowing and trusting yourself
  • Being your own authority
  • Feeling powerful
  • Acting with conviction

Historically, hags were “old, ugly, useless” women (and even men until 1698) accused of evil magic and cavorting with the devil. But in reality, all it took to be called a hag was to criticize the culture or refuse to play the social role given to you – or be a woman and just get older. Do I really want to uphold the hag stereotype created during the witch hunts? Fuck no.

In myth, hags are morally ambivalent culture disruptors. They draw their power from raw nature and see human folly clearly. Now we’re talking…

Age is wise, powerful, resilient – not ridiculous and irrelevant. And ugly is in the eye of the (white cis heteronormative patriarchal) beholder. So what could be more useful than to ask for guidance from a wise old kickass hag? Especially if we want to live in a truthful, awe-inspiring, give no fucks kind of way.

Ten years ago the hag in me matured enough to be a disruptor in my own life, in all the best ways. That’s why in 2016 I quit dieting, in 2020 quit dyeing my hair and in 2022 quit my day job to be a mystic who is fascinated by science, rather than a scientist hiding their mysticism. And life has never been so fulfilling.

Yours with a cackle,
