The First Time I Called Myself Witch
“The first time I called myself a witch was the most magical moment of my life.”
— Margot Adler
I was sitting in a hospice chair, staring at my mother, wondering what the hell I was going to do when she left this earth.
How would I survive when she was gone?
Our relationship was complicated. I often felt like a powerless parent—carrying emotions that didn’t belong to me, yearning for someone to hold me while I navigated the mess of life. We loved each other, but it was tangled.
As I sat and watched her sleep, I asked myself:
When were the moments I felt most connected to her? What brought us closer, even for a moment?
The answer came quickly and clearly:
Spirituality.
Not religion, we had vastly different beliefs when it came to that. But when we talked about dreams, visited psychics, practiced Reiki, or explored the unseen world together, something clicked. That’s where our connection thrived.
A Search for Myself
In that quiet grief, I realized I didn’t want to lose this part of myself too.
I started scrolling Facebook, looking for something—anything—to anchor me. A course, a class, a thread back to my spirit. I didn’t want anything in-person. I didn’t want to be seen in my grief. I just wanted something to hold onto.
And then I found @the_sisters_enchanted.
They were Witches. Out loud. Unapologetic. Living lives I’d only ever dreamed about.
My mother used to warn me:
“We are spiritual, not witches. Never call yourself a witch.”
But something in me stirred. The little girl who played with fairies and whispered to trees felt seen for the first time in years.
And just like that, I began to follow along, and to listen more closely.
The Reclamation Begins
My mother passed away that winter, just days after I found TSE.
I dove into books. I showed up for live videos. I cracked open the door to the broom closet. And by that spring, I came out fully. I told friends. I told my family. I told myself.
In 2019, The Witch’s Inn was born.
That first moment, when I said it out loud, I knew.
This was a reclamation not just for me, but for every woman in my line who had felt powerful and powerless at the same time.
There would be no turning back. And life did change. Some of it got harder. But most of it became more magical than I could have ever imagined.
