Black Cat Folk Magic Knoxville tn

Owner Kristy Loveday a self-described, " Witchy queer" who is a seventh-generation Appalachian, folk magic practitioner, and a tarot reader for over 30 years. Her store Black Cat Folk Magic was born out of necessity, first as a tarot reader at another metaphysical shop and then at her store front on Walker Blvd. In an article by Knoxville Voyager Magazine Kristy talks about her work helping others find their own path to healing and empowerment. 

Ms. Loveday states "I started Black Cat Folk Magic out of necessity. Financial, spiritual, emotional, and physical demands all converged in a way that could no longer be ignored. I was in my early forties, limited by physical disability, financial hardship, and a growing concern that I was handing my most vital years over to survival mode."  

"I took my birthright knowledge, decades of reading everything I could on the subject, and my own very powerful intuition and decided to make folk magic my way of life. It is truly the only way that I can live in alignment with my purpose. I began making salves, spells, and nature crafts to share with others. An incredible thing happens when you begin to strive for alignment: doors of opportunity begin to fly open for you. I didn’t set out to create a business. The business is a byproduct of living in alignment with my purpose."
