I grew up in the magical land of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with a long lineage of witchy women in my life. As a young man, I moved to the U.S. and spent over 30 years as an educator—teaching English and serving as a high school principal in New York City.

Nature & Magic were always calling me. They’re in my blood, after all.

I began crafting all sorts of healing and elevating herbal products in my NYC apartment, just for fun and just for friends.  People loved them, and I loved sharing them.

Along with my passion for botanical crafting, I’ve long been interested in the natural and  spiritual worlds. I began studying the magic ways of the old religions, and my mind was blown. So many of us have lost a connection to the skies, stars, earth and plants. Learning about the energy and magic around us, and getting trained to work with these forces, took my botanical crafting to the next level.

I now live in Santa Fe, NM – known as the Land of Enchantment, and for good reason. Here, the sky is our ocean.  It’s like living in a painting every day, with stunning sunrises and sunsets of yellow, orange, pink, purple and an endless array of blues and grays. The land is equally awe-inspiring, where the high desert (7,000 feet above sea level!) meets the southern edge of the Rocky Mountains, and we are blessed with the rich soils of the Rio Grande and Chama River valleys.   Enriched by the Rio Grande and Chama River valleys, this enchanted landscape inspires me to create natural products infused with magical energy. I hope you love them as much as I do!
