The Scarf Witch

immersing into an allegory of presence


About

As of 8/24/2025

This is the first time I am here about to write about where I am now and not feel so beholden to tell you my whole history. Maybe partially because I have the “about me in motion,” but also because the definition of me has changed fundamentally based on quite a number of understandings and experiences I have been through since I wrote my last “About Me”. I still feel as though I am expanding exponentially and while I still keep some stability in my mundane life, I am navigating the best way to share what and where and how.

Sharing some sort of base level feels correct here – this will be my home base of sorts because, while I’m hosting this on WordPress, I do not feel like I’m part of a social media here. I have assigned this to my own website URL and that feels like some aspect of “home” to me in the landscape of the “world wide web”.

I have been finding myself on TikTok practicing showing up as my authentic self and all the wounds surrounding that. There is a lot there that tends to be a meta exploration of how energy flow works. It’s my sandbox. Scarf Witch TT if you want to check it out.

I also started a podcast – these were meant to be for longer deeper dives where I wanted to really script it and not have to be on camera. I struggled to put up my 3rd episode, but then deliberately took a pause because there was a lot coming in and it didn’t feel aligned to force it. I know this is not really what one is supposed to do – but I keep catching myself in those moments of self-judgement. Right now, it does feel like something I want to continue to do. I ended up only putting one episode on YouTube, and all 3 on Spotify. I believe I will do both. I am also contemplating re-uploading some of my TT to YouTube. I’m just trying to find where my people hang out online. In many of the esoteric systems that speak to a person’s personality, I get the message over and over again that I am meant to create my own path and one in particular tells me that I have the energy to repeat myself (apparently that’s how trends start and ideas are spread). I don’t know. I’m just currently FINALLY working through this wound of authenticity and being perfect and then being seen. YouTube Liminal Tapestry Podcast

Additionally, I’m feeling called to try out Substack. I want to see where that goes. Some of the things that I would be otherwise putting in musings and material on here will likely go there. I think I may keep my poetry here. We’ll see. I’m having many thoughts and I think I want to see how Substack works.

Right now, the things that I hold to be true:
- In everything, there is truth and distortion, and looking for the truth and the distortion keeps my discernment balanced with a mix of skepticism and curiosity.
- I see source as the singularity and a contraction, so I think of my connection to source as something that goes inward and downward. This links into a concept that I have about hierarchy and context and how so many of today's systems are based in hierarchy, which in many ways is attributed to a "masculine" model. However, I see the gender binary to be very reductive. I'll use it more often than I'd like because people are familiar with it.
- One of my most recent deep dives into the imaginal space was about being done with externalizing anything - my power, my focus, my authority. This took me down a path of finding myself in the nothing, and that helped me to see that "now = you" and a lot of my current filtering sees things that way.
- What I see/understand to be me is everything within me - including the levels around me in other dimensions that include my spirit guides and higher self. I may or may not extend that to my soul group. I think at a certain point, it's just a matter of grouping the all in all of the different ways - it's just a matter of how we are grouping. I do believe that my existence suggests that there is some level of individuation.
I believe that when we over-identify with the individuation, that is when we can get stuck and experience suffering. I want to go deeper on all of these subjects, and have in some ways on the various mediums I've shared in the links above.

My goal is to share what I learn, invite connection, and offer readers tools for their own journeys.

Thank you for joining me here. If you’re curious about how my path evolves over time, feel free to explore the “About Me in Motion” section:
