Kristin Lisenby is a Storyteller and Word Witch living in the Azores Islands. Inspired by the moon and garden, Kristin writes seasonal stories and reimagined fairy tales for the magically minded. She is the voice behind Little Witch Books and the co-founder of Pointy Hat Press, a publishing house exploring Witchcraft and Paganism through a modern lens. She co-hosts the Magick & Alchemy podcast alongside fellow Word Witch Kate Belew, as well as the Crossroads, a seasonal, creative coven for literary spellcraft.
A Cal Poly alumni, Kristin has a BA in Modern Language & Literature and has also studied at the University of Valladolid in Spain. She is passionate about plants, nearly-forgotten folklore, and all things Magical Realism. When she’s not writing, you can find Kristin digging in her garden, playing with her three goats, and working alongside her partner to infuse new life into their century-old farmhouse.
We talked about:
- Sacred collaboration: the magic of finding your people
- Sharing and selling on social media: "sharing your art online is like putting up a soul flare so your people can find you".
- Living in the Azores, close to nature... how it has impacted her work, creativity and magic
- Being an introvert
- Reawakening of the magical self
- Reclaiming our weirdness

- Growth and change and appreciating our younger selves
