Substacks recommended by Miranda Foresman | Miranda’s Substack: Chasing the Daydream

Recommended by Miranda Foresman

Here, we hang out with ghosts, goddesses, and mythical creatures, telling their stories and creating our own.

I've listened to Shelby's podcasts and followed her company for years, and I have found her to be a wealth of knowledge and a welcome friend for all things witchy. I adore her, and I am so excited she's on Substack!!
