Who I Am
I’m Katrina Rasbold—author, witch, healer, and teacher—with more than forty years of experience walking the winding roads of magic. My work blends Goddess veneration roots, Appalachian folk magic, devotional practice, and the lived wisdom of decades spent in service to seekers. I write, I teach, I mentor, and I help people move through life’s thresholds with clarity, courage, and compassion.
For me, magic is both practical and poetic: a way of engaging with the world that honors intuition as much as intellect, ritual as much as reasoning, and connection as much as craft.
What I Do
Across my books, classes, and services, I offer tools for real people living real lives:
- Books & Writing — fiction, magical nonfiction, conjure, hedge witchery, Avalon-inspired stories, practical guides, and books co-authored with my husband, Eric Rasbold.
- Healing & Spiritual Work — tarot readings, candle magic (“setting the lights”), spiritual cleansings, and custom spellwork rooted in experience and ethical practice.
- Teaching — weekly Patreon classes, on-demand coursework, public workshops, and magical mentorship.
- Community — The Hearthfire Circle on Patreon, where seekers gather for support, wisdom, humor, and gentle witch-auntie guidance.
My Path
I’ve spent decades studying magic, anthropology, spiritual healing, and the mystical arts. My work is rooted in tradition but shaped by the needs of modern practitioners—people juggling careers, families, grief, dreams, creativity, and the complicated beauty of daily life.
Magic isn’t separate from life; it is woven through it. I help people remember how to feel that thread.
I share much of this journey with my beloved husband, Eric Rasbold. Together we co-author books, co-create magical projects, and run Crossroads Occult, our online shop of handmade magical items and services.
My services are rooted in long practice, clear ethics, and respect for your agency. I don’t promise impossible outcomes. I do promise honesty, care, and real effort on your behalf.
Let’s Connect
Whether you found me through my books, TikTok, a class, the shop, or the crossroads of the internet—welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
