Becoming the Witch You Always Were w/ Adrienna aka The Violet Wiitch
What if becoming a witch isn’t about becoming someone new—but finally giving yourself permission to become who you’ve always been?
This week on Big Crystal Energy, I’m joined by Adrienna Elcome, aka the Violet Wiitch—a tarot reader, witchcraft teacher, photographer, shadow worker, and creator of Witch School.
Adrienna and I originally crossed paths through Angelica Cresci’s Glamour Magic course, and in this conversation we get into what it actually looks like to live your witchcraft—not just learn about it.
We talk about Adrienna’s experience growing up as a magical child within Catholicism, the losses that ultimately pushed her to question what she believed, and the experiences with meditation and her intuition that helped lead her toward the path she walks today.
We also get into the witch wound and what happens when you begin publicly claiming the parts of yourself you may have once kept hidden. We talk about coming out of the broom closet, learning to trust your intuition, shadow work, tarot, and the sometimes uncomfortable process of allowing yourself to be fully seen.
Adrienna also shares how she became the “town witch” she dreamed of being as a child, the realities of creating magical community, and why she kept showing up even when her first event didn’t go according to plan. We talk about her creation of Witch School and why she believes witchcraft is something you have to actually practice—you can consume all the books, podcasts, and information you want, but at some point, you have to get your hands dirty.
And of course, because Adrienna and I share a deep love for Florence + the Machine, we end the conversation talking about Florence Welch, handmade witchy cloaks, crying at concerts, magical road trips, and the healing power of live music.
In this episode, we talk about:
• Growing up magical within Catholicism
• Grief as a catalyst for spiritual awakening
• Tarot, channeling, and learning to trust your intuition
• Coming out of the broom closet and the witch wound
• Shadow work and finding wisdom in uncomfortable places
• Becoming your community’s “town witch”
• Creating magical community and having the courage to start
• Why practicing witchcraft matters more than simply consuming information about it
• Letting your magical practice ebb and flow with the seasons of your life
• Finding magic in simple, everyday practices
• Adrienna’s Witch School and teaching witchcraft from the roots
• Florence + the Machine and the magic of live music
• Bringing more play, ritual, and magic into everyday life and relationships
You can find Adrienna on Instagram and Threads as The Violet Wiitch. She also offers virtual tarot readings, shares witchcraft teachings and lunar taroscopes through her Substack, and has a Patreon filled with past workshops and learning resources.
