Meet the mage behind the madness.
The Indigo Rain Shop Story
It all started back in 2020 when I got involved with WitchTok, the place where brain cells went to die.
Just kidding. It started way before that.
I grew up in a Christian family and attended Christian school my entire life, from childhood all the way through college. Though my spiritual upbringing was in Christianity, but there was no denying that the women who raised me were spiritually gifted (by God, in their words): my mother had mediumship abilities, my aunt has prophetic dreams, and my grandmother carried the gift of foresight. While I had a mostly positive experience with religion, I always sensed there was more to the spiritual world than a simple good-versus-evil narrative. My years in Christian education gave me opportunity to learn theology, philosophy, and religious history, but amidst this I also learned critical thinking which has ultimately shaped how I approach spirituality today.
Beginning in high school, I started exploring different divination techniques, namely tarot. I was afraid I'd be struck down by God for it, but spoiler: I wasn't. In college, I secretly studied under a close friend of Raymond Buckland and was only weeks from achieving my First Degree in Wicca. But I felt some imposter syndrome as the path didn’t truly align with what I felt, and although it was informative, I decided to back out as it didn’t quite fit the path that was right for me.
After stepping away from Wicca, I spent about a year focusing on my personal practice, college, and trying to keep life in motion. But everything changed for me in 2022 when I unexpectedly lost both my mother and grandmother within a week of each other. Their passing cracked something open in me. Like many, grief pushed me further into my spiritual path. In 2024, a local up-and-coming metaphysical shop, found my profile and reached out, offering me the chance to help build a spiritual community in Escondido, California. I spent 2 years there reading Tarot and Lenormand, taught classes, and helped build up the community, before deciding that my life was growing in a separate direction, and I no longer felt aligned with continuing there. With the unwavering support of my community, I have since continued to offer my readings and classes independently, both online and in person.
While I gained traction on WitchTok in 2020, life (and grief) pulled me in other directions. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that this path isn’t something I chose, it’s something that keeps choosing me. The more I’ve tried to ignore it, the louder it’s gotten.
Today, I’m a professional diviner, teacher, and practitioner with gratitude for the roots I come from and the traditions I’ve studied. I hold a bachelor’s degree in cellular and molecular biology, and I have a full time day job as a microbiology technician. One thing about me is that I absolutely love finding ways to blend my scientific knowledge with spiritual concepts. It is not that I aim to explain magick away, but I truly see the validity of magick from multiple angles.
“The moment you think you know it all is the moment your practice stops growing.”
I work with several forms of divination including Tarot (Rider-Waite based), Lenormand, crystal ball scrying, black mirror scrying, and water scrying. My practice stems from years of both independent research and mind-blowing personal experiences. My studies include Wicca, ceremonial magick, Appalachian folk magick, Pennsylvania Dutch folk healing, and currently, I have a huge interest in planetary magick. I’m especially passionate about studying the history of Western esotericism and celestial-based spiritual systems.
In addition to offering a variety of readings, I teach classes on tarot, planetary and ceremonial magick, spiritual protection, and divination. I also lead full moon ceremonies and rituals in my community, and offer spiritual counseling to those seeking guidance in their practice or personal life.
My mission is simple: to offer accessible, affordable spiritual tools and education without gatekeeping, gimmicks, or bullshit. I work with people who take magick seriously, people who value honesty and integrity, and those who want something deeper than surface-level, self-serving spirituality. I want to work with people who seek to genuinely better themselves and their lives, not to use spirituality for an ego massage. No matter what stage you are in your path, I’m here to offer you support and real resources, and to remind you that no one has all the answers, we’re always on a path of learning no matter who we are or what stage of life we’re in.
