Welcome, welcome!

Update 3/23/2025: Commissions have reopened early. Read more about why here.

Hello! I’m Aese, a witch, magical practitioner, diviner, spirit worker, and big ol’ nerd. I’m in my late 20s, and I use they/them pronouns.

You can find my original spells in the tag #my spells, my original recipes in the tag #my recipes, other posts I’ve written or replied to under #aese speaks, and asks I’ve answered under #aese answers.

I’m a witch for hire! You can commission custom food spells, get tarot readings, and buy spell recipe cards over on my Ko-Fi page. If you like what I do, you can also tip me or become a monthly supporter for bonuses like commission discounts and monthly tarot readings. Supporters of all types get early and sometimes extended or even exclusive access to my work!

I do free one-card tarot readings* on Fridays**. Rules for tarot readings can be found here (Tumblr post) or here (Neocities site). Otherwise, you can commission me for all sorts of readings. If you don’t see something on the commission page that suits you, or if you need to negotiate prices, send me a DM here or on Ko-Fi.

(* Sometimes it’s different, if I’m testing something out or doing a special event!

** I might be busy or just straight-up forget on Friday. If that’s the case, I’ll usually do a make-up day on Saturday or Sunday.)

I have an ongoing project called Aese’s Advertisement Adversaries where I review advertisements and marketing in the witchcraft, divination, and associated spiritual communities. It’s one part dissecting and educating about scams/unethical marketing practices and one part advice column for legit sellers. Click here to read about it on Tumblr, or here to read the same info on my website.

I stream over on Twitch on Mondays at 1:30 PM and Thursdays at 10:00 AM. Mondays we do an activity, a round of ADversaries BINGO, and then a video game. Thursdays are free tarot readings and tarot-related stuff.

I’m also an author and GM of TTRPGs! You can find my writing and TTRPG stuff over at @aesesinkwell, with warnings for horror content (peep the pinned post over there for specifics).

I’ve got a website in progress over on Neocities – check it out here to peek at more of my original fiction, see better-formatted content, and more! If you want a full list of original posts I’ve created, here’s the big fuck-off list of links. Leave me a little message in my guestbook! (:

My ask box is always open for questions and conversation. Be kind, be mindful.

May the road be wide and straight before you.

This was the museum I went to often in my childhood. I'm no longer able to visit unless I visit family, but this place holds a special place in my heart.

As stated in the article, they hold around 7 million artifacts- many of which are orphaned fossils, with the museum taking in collections that otherwise would have been trashed.

Please consider buying a Paleozoic Pal, but I'll also leave a direct donation link as well.

I JUST WENT INTO A FUGUE STATE AND BOUGHT ME A 16 INCH CUDDLE BUDDY WITH PLATED TEETH!! DUNKIE, MY BELOVED!!

Screeching aside, anyone who can afford to, go look through their shop! They got clothes, and cute gifts, and books and all kinds of other awesome stuff! Ye, the shipping sucks, but we need to keep our museums alive! (the good ones, not the British Museum of Thievery XP)

HE’S HERE! MY BIG BOY IS HERE!! (And yes he is my BIG boy despite only being 16 inches, you shush!)

He took nearly a month to get here, but that’s because of ALL THE ORDERS THEY’VE BEEN GETTING! OVER 1800 ORDERS! This is why I love the online community!!

Now if you don’t mind I’m going to tuck Duncan into my sweater and go work on the piles of stuff I still have to do 😅

For anyone curious what's happening with the PRI they're digging themselves out! An anonymous donor gave them $1 mn which they used to secure a stay on the forclosure for the rest of the year and they're approximately a third of the way to buying their way out of the mortgage.

Behold! The cookies we made on stream!


a clear box full of dulce de leche alfajores. they are caramel filled sandwich cookies shaped like stars.ALT

Genuinely might start doing regular baking/cooking streams to test recipes and hang out!

Now to take these for final judgment (to my sister, who they’re for)…

Cookie stream is go. I'm making dulce de leche alfajores (take two), trying to get the recipe Just Right. There's a couple rest periods so... probably stuff in between also. Come hang out, chat, etc. It's chill.

We are currently souping and chatting while our cookies chill. T-Minus 10 Minutes until roll and cut.

**If you want to add an oracle card in the middle, go wild. I feel like it could provide a nice little overall message for the reading.**

Okay but what if I really did do a cookie stream today. I want to do a take two on these alfajores so. Perhaps cookie stream.
