The Birthmark Scar includes angels, tarot readings, energy work, intuition, past life experiences, magick, Pagan rituals, psychics, and witchcraft. We believe that sometimes the best learning comes from story. In today's world, metaphysical traditions blend together, and many called to explore their spirituality are overwhelmed by the strangeness of it all. What is most difficult to understand is past lives; they are easy to grab hold of intellectually, but true processing of past lives is deep emotional and spiritual work. Our intention is to use this fictionalized version of Paul's life experiences to inspire and teach people about what it means to grapple with the deepest, hidden aspects of self. We felt a deep connection with a narrator undergoing a modern spiritual crisis, we believe others are too. Part of what makes this work unique is its approach to historicizing witchcraft. Characters in various centuries practice herbal medicine and rituals, and grapple with threats from institutional authority, but new information about what that was really like to experience is introduced.
