I’m Lisa Quigley, and I’m The Glitch Witch.

I’m a multi-modality oracular artist and galactic witch.

I am an award-nominated author with 10+ years experience in writing, editing, and publishing. And I have been in the field of esoteric arts for 15+ years.

However…

The story of the reclamation of my oracular gifts is not pristine or polished.

It is messy and nonlinear, at times even downright embarrassing.

The story of my life reads like a fairy tale…but not the Disney kind.

The ancient kind. The initiatory kind.

I was summoned to the Earth plane by a lightning bolt. I talked with Lilac People as a young girl. I asked too many questions. I was called “rebellious” as a teenager. I left home at 18, rejecting my family’s religion. I read books on witchcraft and the occult. I waited tables. I failed out of college. I had a miscarriage. I joined the military. I got married and divorced. I fell in love. I began writing again. I went back to school and graduated. I started a photography business. I quit photography. I became a yoga teacher. I cheated on my boyfriend and had the worst breakup of my life. I started waiting tables again. I quit waiting tables with no backup plan. I almost moved to Los Angeles. I met a kind man. I got hired as assistant manager of a yoga studio. I quit after six months. I worked a customer service job I despised. I earned my MFA in creative writing. I quit teaching yoga. I got married. I got a job in magazine publishing. I had two more miscarriages. I had a baby. I moved across the country with my husband and a newborn. I started a horror podcast. I quit my magazine job to teach college. The podcast won two awards. I fell in love with tarot. My first book was published. Then two more. My first novel was nominated for an award. I had another baby. I quit teaching college for a job in book publishing. I took my first tarot class. I quit the successful podcast.

Somehow, amidst all the mess, the chaos, the impulsive decisions, the erratic actions…

I had achieved every dream I ever had.

And yet, somehow, none of it was ever what I really wanted.

(Except the husband and the babies)

So what did I want?

A mystical new dream began to emerge. This dream was shimmering and alive and enchanted…and dangerously taboo.

Every time I got close to it, it seemed to shapeshift and dance away.

I recoiled from the dream at times, too.

I was terrified of the fierce and unapologetic woman this dream was asking me to become.

So, in this way, the dream and I danced together.

This dream often revealed itself through a ravenous (and often secretive) desire for study.

Tarot classes. Mysticism trainings. A human design course. Endless piles of occult books. Psychic and channeling development. Contact work. Hypnosis certifications.

At times I felt crazy.

What was I doing?

I had no idea if any of this would lead anywhere…or if it was just more dead ends.

But in a way that’s difficult to articulate, it felt like my destiny was calling.

And with each step forward, with each false start, with each retracing of my steps, through all my commitment and frustration and impatience and resistance and devotion…

The vision began to refine.

Subtly and slowly at first, and then more rapidly.

The threads of all my disparate interests began to weave together. My oracular gifts that had come online so suddenly began to develop and refine.

I found teachers and mentors to help orient me to my pathways, support my initiations, and contextualize my experiences.

I began to trust myself.

I began to remember.

I am not the teacher for anyone looking to create a polished version of themselves.

I won’t help you disown your mess.

What I will do is help you reclaim the living fairy tale that is your life, your oracular nature, and your destiny.

To reintegrate the abandoned and exiled parts of yourself.

To clear the distortions created by your experiences of rejection and destitution.

I will support you in the restoration of your true Oracular nature.

Together, we’ll recover the gift in your glitch.

I am an Aquarius sun and rising with a Leo moon and a 5/1 Splenic Projector.
