To those who have stumbled upon this ‘blog’: Merry meet and welcome! To be perfectly honest, I never considered myself to be a ‘blogger’ so here goes nothing. I generally like to live in the moment and enjoy experiencing the magick of the ‘now.’ Though lately, as I have been composing my workshops and writing my book (more information on that later for those who are curious), I have been feeling this tug to compose something heavily relating to what sets my soul on fire: Magick. Death. Rebirth. Transformation. Witchcraft. The Occult. Mysteries of Life and Death. Daily inspirations. Coffee (because coffee is life).

… And if you have found your way here through your own budding curiosity, these ‘themes’ also spark something inside yourself.

I suppose it will only be polite for me to introduce myself to you. I must warn you, I do not like to write about myself. Perhaps you will find that we are not so different. Maybe you will find that you and I have similar interests. So, here goes nothing:

My name is Freya. I am a Death Midwife, a Psychic-Medium, a Reiki Master Teacher and most importantly, a Salem Witch.

Throughout my entire life, I have always been considered the ‘black sheep’ of my family. I had interests that were considered odd and saw the world through a different lens that for my family, didn’t make much sense. I also had a unique relationship to the Dead. For as long as I can remember, I was able to see Spirits. I would speak out to the Spirits that came to visit me. With my interactions with the Spirits, I developed a curiosity to learn what their souls yearned for in Death. I also wanted to know how to help those spirits find closure and peace. The Dead were my closest and dearest friends. The lessons that they’ve taught me are ones that I try to teach to others through my teachings. The Dead possess a profound knowledge and a deep understanding about life.

As a child, being able to assist the Dead gave my soul purpose and sent me tumbling down the Rabbit hole of the Occult when I was 10 years old. It was shortly after serving my first funeral that I realized that I wanted to serve the Dead and began to question things in my life. During my Library time while I was attending elementary school, I would research a variety of topics: psychic abilities, Mortuary Science, the Salem Witch Trials and Witchcraft. Back then, I was hungry to read and would devour a book a night. To this day, I am still a bookworm (:

My twenties were full of harsh realities that turned into lessons learned. I spent much of my time studying and working on myself. Through failed relationships, I learned more about myself and made investments in reaching my potential. I became a certified Reiki Master Teacher and had the opportunity to travel. What a blessing that was! Whenever I read a client that has gone through a breakup, I encourage them to seek out knowledge and invest in their future.

On my Instagram (ef_bishop), I like to pull a “card of the day” and will compose posts as I am in a meditative state. Going forward, I’d very much like to share those ‘posts’ here so that people can read at their leisure. Plus, with Instagram, I have to cut down on what comes to mind… this way, I can take the time to really type out. I’d also like to compose different articles or entries of interest in the hope that perhaps I can give someone insight or even inspire them!

Anyway, for the time being, that’s what I have for my first post. My family and I are currently preparing to go back home to Salem, Ma. Perhaps on the way back home, I will compose another post.

Stay tuned. Stay well.
