Kelley knew two truths of herself as a child.
One was that she bore an incurable lust for the written word before she’d even learned an alphabet. Having originated under such circumstances she only assumed a path in writing could sate.
Things being what they were, she managed a thorough education in penning her soul’s art, the culmination of which she’d planned to be traveling the world and exploring cultures. It didn’t work out that way, though. When the time came to pack her bags the impetus was to stay put, a wordless mystery that took Kelley quite a while to unravel.
Some time later she came back to her other childhood truth, which was that she could interact vividly in the unseen world. Kelley felt a little silly then. She’d finally realized all those elegant letters of her naïve youth were really spelling, “Don’t write about the past. Listen to its story. Do better.”
From that point on Kelley’s writing took on a rather different life. She began weaving tales of souls consciously steering through the wreckage of colonization, chronic illness, unquiet dead, eldering well, and tending Ancestors–all passionate, sacred pursuits.
To that end, Kelley also mentors others in animism, soul tending, and rune studies.
"We don't heal in isolation, but in community."
