Witchcraft

Welcome to The Balancing Path by Sidney Eileen

I am a nonbinary, intergender, asexual, animistic, polytheist witch. I acknowledge divinity and unique natures in not just the gods, but in all manner of ephemeral and supernatural beings, spirits, living beings, and the souls that embody the physical objects and spaces around us.  My practice is lifelong and of an intuitive nature, seeking fulfillment through mutable asymmetrical balance.

In this section you will find all the things I have written or created directly related to witchcraft, magic, and paganism.
