About the author
Ora North is the author of Shadow Work for Core Wounds and Mood Magick, published by Reveal Press. Shadow Work for Core Wounds addresses readers who experienced childhood emotional trauma, such as neglect, parentification, or unhealthy family dynamics, and sets out a process for identifying core wounds, moving past what the book calls toxic positivity, and rebuilding relationships and a sense of belonging. Mood Magick combines witchcraft practice with wellness themes, offering spells and rituals framed around emotional balance and connection to the earth, continuing from an earlier book on identity and belonging. Both titles sit at the crossing point of contemporary witchcraft and self-help, treating ritual and magical practice as tools for emotional processing rather than as a standalone spiritual tradition. Readers interested in trauma-informed approaches to witchcraft, or in wellness writing that borrows from pagan and magical practice, are the intended audience.
