Mallorie Vaudoise is a New York City-based spiritualist of Italian descent. She is the author of Honoring Your Ancestors: A Guide to Ancestral Veneration and “Italian Folk Magic,” a blog about devotional practices from Southern Italy and Sicily. She was co-host of “Good Bones,” a podcast about living and dying well.
Drawn to folk magic from a young age, her path has required both careful study and wild abandon. Her writing is an act of devotion, an offering to the spiritual ecosystem in which she finds herself. She believes that music, food, wine, and kissing are vital tools of spiritual evolution.
