Welcome to the Order of Gold & A Sneak Peek at "How to Be a Bad Witch"!
Greetings, fellow seekers, curious minds, and those who feel a little…unconventional. I’m absolutely thrilled to finally unveil my brand new website: Order of Gold!
For a while now, I’ve dreamed of creating a dedicated space – a digital hearth, if you will – where we can connect on a deeper level, share our journeys, and explore the fascinating, often misunderstood, world of witchcraft and the occult. Order of Gold is that space.
Think of it as a virtual coven – a place for learning, sharing, and finding your tribe. Here you’ll find:
Blog posts delving into various aspects of witchcraft, from practical spellwork and herb lore to exploring historical witch trials and the modern resurgence of magical practices.
Resources including recommended reading lists, links to fascinating articles, and perhaps even some downloadable goodies in the future.
Community forums (coming soon!) where we can discuss ideas, ask questions, and support each other on our individual paths.
Updates on my writing and upcoming events.
And speaking of upcoming events… I have some incredibly exciting news! My forthcoming book, "How to Be a Bad Witch," published by the wonderful team at Stated House, is just around the corner, hitting shelves this June!
Now, what exactly is a "Bad Witch"? It’s not about being malevolent or casting hexes on your enemies (though, hey, sometimes a little boundary setting is necessary!). Instead, "How to Be a Bad Witch" is about embracing the messy, imperfect reality of witchcraft. It’s about:
Rejecting rigid rules: Witchcraft is deeply personal. This book encourages you to find what resonates with you, not adhere to someone else's dogma.
Owning your power, flaws and all: We don't need to be pristine goddesses to tap into our magic. Our imperfections are often where our strength lies.
Finding the magic in the mundane: This book explores how to weave enchantment into your everyday life, from your morning coffee to your evening walk.
Being unapologetically yourself: True magic comes from authenticity. "How to Be a Bad Witch" is an invitation to embrace your unique weirdness.
Think of it as a guide for the witch who spills their potions, forgets the incantations halfway through, and sometimes just wants to use their intuition over a dusty old grimoire. It’s about finding the power within your own imperfect practice.
Order of Gold will be the perfect companion to "How to Be a Bad Witch," offering a space to discuss the book's themes, share your own "bad witch" moments, and connect with others on a similar journey.
So, please, explore the new website, orderofgold.com. Sign up for updates, and get ready to dive into the wonderfully witchy world of "How to Be a Bad Witch" this June! I can’t wait to share it with you all.
Stay curious, stay a little bit wild, and welcome to the Order of Gold.
Blessed be (in your own wonderfully imperfect way),
Aurealia Nelson
