About Joel.
Joel Austin founded Stay Weird Witches in 2018 and has been making content about Salem, witchcraft, and the occult ever since. Two seasons of Salem’s Ghosts, seventy-seven YouTube videos, and a daily practice that’s three months and one borrowed candle deep.
This is the first in a series of personal essays about taking the practice seriously. The next one will be about the days he misses.
Stay weird, witches.
