Description

From the author... Hi there! I’m Joshua Damon and my journey started in 1993. I was raised in the enchanting seaside villages of the Maritimes on the east coast of Canada. Where many of my settler ancestors arrived on the shores many hundreds of years ago from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and parts of Scandinavia. My childhood was painted by the majestic mountains of New Brunswick and the tranquil red sand beaches of Prince Edward Island. Growing up in a rural setting allowed me many great freedoms as a child that I appreciate very much today. Living in a rural setting allowed me the comfort of having many different pets and canine companions throughout my life. I have a very special place in my heart for dogs. I have so many beautiful dogs in my life who are not just faithful companions but also vital energies that enrich my existence. I love dogs so much. One of the most remarkable things I have ever done was that I took the long and arduous journey of moving to a new country. At the time of publishing this manuscript I found myself living in the rural Ozark mountains of Arkansas, a significant shift from my decade-long residence in the cybernetic landscape of Toronto, Ontario. It's a transition that carries with it a profound recognition of the responsibility to honor and respect the Indigenous peoples and the ancestral lands upon which I now reside. The territory I call home has deep roots in Indigenous heritage, and I am ever thankful for the privilege of living on Turtle Island, the ancient and sacred land. I have been intuitive and psychic for as young as I can remember. I embarked on the path of a witch from a young age, blessed with the freedom to explore my own spiritual identity by open-minded parents who never imposed a specific religion upon me. My spiritual practices are many different influences combined together to create diverse strands of energy, a reflection of my eclectic approach to witchcraft. Astrological influences, ancestor worship, shamanic rituals, and a variety of traditions collectively guide my path. It's a journey that embraces a multitude of deities, pantheons, and energies, always with the utmost respect for their cultural origins. In my perspective, cultural appreciation, not appropriation, is the guiding principle.
