Dear Bewitching Friends,
Meet Reverend Judith Laxer: pagan priestess, modern-day mystic, practitioner of witchcraft, and the intuitive-psychic arts. Yowza, right? I’ll say so.
I met Judith several years ago through the writing community. One thing, then another and WHAM-O, we’re in a writing group for four gorgeous years, and my life hasn’t been the same since. Everyone needs a friend like Juditchka: warm and wise, tender and delightful, the best giver of hugs, richest belly-laugher, a unique mix of wholesomeness and spicy irreverence.
When my dad was sitting in his liminal space, Judith—who knows how to be with end-of-life shenanigans—made the process more magical and mysterious and beautiful than I could have on my own. 💜
Judith has a fascinating story. She spent her twenties as a Broadway performer, singing and dancing on stages everywhere before she made a change and followed her intuitive gifts.
“Never in wildest dreams did I think I’d become a priestess and dedicate myself to the clergy and found a ministry. . . I’m a witch! Who knew?”
In this Beauty Q&A we cover a lot, including:
Judith’s definition of beauty — which includes contrast
What is a “witch” exactly?
And a pagan, what’s that again?
How darkness is a part of beauty.
Death, and preparing to meet it.
How do we hone our own intuitive craft, our psychic senses, and our intuition?
Clearing up ideas about witchcraft, mysticism, and paganism.
The upcoming Spiral Dance Samhain celebration you don’t want to miss.
Treat yourself to a listen. Judith has so much to offer as we (N Hemisphere dwellers) dip into the dark season. Fire up the video, and tell us what you think in the comments, or reach out to Judith to learn more. XO
