Kate has been studying, teaching, and practicing esoteric wisdom for 14 years, though her love for mysticism and her natural mediumship abilities began in childhood. Her background is in ancient Canaanite mysteries, Egyptian magick, Hermeticism, and occultism—and she is especially passionate about sharing this esoteric wisdom with other spiritual practitioners who are ready to embrace older traditions of magick.

I’ve always been transparent about being against modern religion and instead have spent the last decade-plus actively pursuing esoteric wisdom studies. My primary focus has always been recovering the role of Lady Wisdom in sacred texts. My journey with this started in canonical writings and was expanded upon by countless scholarly works, sacred texts, and ancient mythologies who also knew Lady Wisdom by many different names. While I recognize much of the canon has been altered by humans, there are certain portions that do hold a great deal of wisdom and magick (as do countless other sacred texts which I respect and cherish as well).

As a High Priestess of Astarte and Hekate, who I also refer to as Lady Wisdom, my heart is to teach others about ancient esoteric wisdom. This temple has been over a decade in the making and brings to life the esoteric wisdom I've learned from my personal path and from working with Lady Wisdom, the many-named Goddess, or great divine feminine Holy Spirit.

A supernatural storyteller and esoteric educator at heart, my focus is always on getting back to the ancient origins of spiritual traditions, recovering the older path that has been swept away by modern religion, and finding balance in the extremes of what we're taught in life to bring about true rebirth and life through the release (death) of what's no longer serving us.

Everything I create, whether it be the copy for my next book, a course to help others learn more about esoteric wisdom, or hand-crafted jewelry to connect individuals to the divine, is made with powerful energy and intentions. There are so many facets of divinity, and if I accomplish nothing else in my life except helping people understand those pieces in a meaningful way, I’ll be satisfied. This is a major reason why I am committed to everything in our shop being ethically-sourced, hand-crafted when possible, and sound-cleansed before being shipped or handed to the customer.

My passions truly are in storytelling and teaching specifically related to esoteric wisdom. The majority of our world is built on “exoteric wisdom, ” intended for the masses. This is the type of wisdom you might fight in churches, published online, or generally available for public consumption. Esoteric wisdom, on the other hand, is that which is often hidden, obscured from the masses, or reserved for a select few who are willing or capable of accepting things shrouded in mystery. This love of esotericism and mysticism is fundamental to who I am and has fueled the books I have published and the founding of our metaphysical shop and wisdom school, Astarte’s Temple.

When I first began taking my esoteric path seriously in 2011, I honestly had no idea what I was in for. Just like Frodo at the beginning of The Lord of the Rings, or any other magickal epic adventure story, I heard the call, I saw glimpses of wisdom and truth, and I embarked on what would become the journey of a lifetime for me (and spoiler alert: I’m still on it…).

My path started with an introduction to esoteric mysteries that revealed answers to questions I had asked since girlhood. They validated the paradoxical nature of our existence and brought a healing to my spirit that was incredibly freeing. This process and a near-death experience in 2018 are ultimately what brought where I am today.
