School of Raq
A day in the life of a witch: Raq (sounds like "rock," and is short for Raquelle) is a music-teacher-turned-witch who offers help and healing from an all-faith perspective.
Each Sunday, they cover topics at the intersection of astrology, music, creativity, the tarot, culture, practice, and so much more. Their spiritual musings aim to make you feel more at home within your body and ecosystem so that you can stop surviving, and start thriving.
Come curious--leave transformed.
