Welcome to the
School of Magic & Mastery
(Magic School for short)
Have you felt the pull toward something you can’t quite name — a sense that life could be lived more deliberately, more creatively?
Through astrology, Tarot, Qabala, alchemy, shamanism, divination, spellcrafting and shared ritual, we explore magic as a living practice — a way of meeting the world with intention and imagination.
A place to question what’s possible —
and practice choosing differently.

Got Questions?
About Life, the Universe & Everything?
Questions are part of the practice. They’re how we process what we’re learning, expand our perspective, and step beyond what we think we already know.
That’s why I host weekly Magical Office Hours — a relaxed, open space where we can explore questions together.

Linda M.
This journey has helped me recognize that the more I engage with these practices, the more I tap into an intuitive flow that feels both personal and universal -- It gives you awe and slows you down at the same time. These little moments feel like I'm getting divine encouragement!
Mary S.
Take it! It is beyond what I expected! It weaves into your daily life as a incredibly helpful tool! And, if that isn't intriguing enough, at the end of the course, Donna ties it all together. The Work -- and my vision of myself -- became even bigger & more powerful than I imagined.
