Living between worlds, creating in this one 🌙

Bel is a shamanka, artist, and author with Celtic-Maltese heritage — and, as of 2026, a first-year university student at 54, which is either brave or ridiculous and possibly both.

For more than twenty years she has studied the esoteric: symbolism, psychic life, ancestral wisdom, and the hidden structures beneath art, history, and magic. She is the founder of Fauun publishing, the author of Breaking the Girl, and the host of Sacred Mechanics®, a podcast for the solitary woman building something strange and serious.

This Substack is where those threads meet. Honest, a little witchy, and entirely unlike anything else in your feed.
