ABOUT ME
I’m a Lithuanian-American traditional witch, psychic intuitive, educator, and spiritual coach & mentor in tarot, animism & witchcraft. Teaching classes & 1:1 coaching/mentoring in animist studies is at the heart of my professional calling. I also offer Tarot & Akashic Records readings centered in empowerment and the re-enchantment of our sense of place within the web of life we belong in. I’m here to help get you on the right path for your journey by tuning in deeply with your guides.
My reading and teaching style is inclusive, respectful, uplifting and joyful while staying rooted in the sometimes heavier paradigms and conditions that exist in the world. I’m here to meet you where you are, deeply listen to your needs, and empower you to make the tangible next steps on your path to a life lived in harmony.
Spiritual work holds us accountable to our authentic selves, and we must know ourselves to know where to begin. I believe in doing our work, work within our psyche and our communities, “As above, So below; As within, So without!”. As a lifelong animist raised in Lithuania under soviet occupation, my insights can help my clients re-frame toxic narratives adopted from consensus culture, and to remember the sacred inter-connectedness and wildness within us. If this resonates with you and you’re seeking deeper alignment with these topics, please do book a session.
BIOGRAPHY
Zhana (she/her & we/us) is an initiated high priestess of the Cabot tradition of witchcraft in Salem Massachusetts, a master of Reiki Shamanism™, a Master/Teacher in the Usui Ryoho Shiki Reiki tradition, founder of Coven of the Sun and a certified facilitator of the mythopoetic approach contained in "Women Who Run With The Wolves" by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes and the Archetypal & Cross-Cultural Studies Institute.
Zhana brings over 20 years of intentional witchcraft studies & embracing the magic lifestyle into her work. She has been a public, “out of the broom closet” witch since taking her first occult job at 19 years old at The Cat The Crow & The Crown in Salem’s Pickering Wharf in the early aughts. Since then, she’s matured and focused as community leader, entrepreneur and folk ritual maker with launching intentional businesses: Zeitgeist Gallery and Yes Art Space in Beverly, Yes Wolf Spirit in Rockport Ma and Witchx online. Folk Magic is now her online nexus and home.
Zhana co-founded Tarot Salon in Salem, Mass which ran 1x month for 78 consecutive months at Hauswitch Home & Healing in Salem. Tarot Salon concluded in this form late March 2023. After a 1 year hiatus, Zhana & Melissa launched a new continuation for Tarot Salon which meets once a month and is still going strong. Zhana shares her vision by way of tarot reading and education, coaching and mentoring, and public monthly moon circles both in person and online. A forever student and voracious reader, she is still studying and learning new skills. She has been actively teaching witchcraft and varied occult topics since 2016.
Zhana respects the preciousness of individual identity and is aligned with causes granting dignity to all living things. She views healing as process and holding sacred space for others to open into their authenticity is at the heart of her work. In 2023 Zhana received training in Trauma Informed Client Care Practices through The People’s Medicine Project in western Massachusetts. She’s always honing her skills and lives on a dead end road on the side of a mountain with her cats, chickens, and her daughter Poppy.
Zhana is the creator of FOLK MAGIC and holds an ALM in Literature from Harvard University.
