The phrase "Which witch is which" is a play on words that is often used in a humorous or pun-filled context. It plays on the homophones "which" and "witch" to create a phrase that is both catchy and confusing. In its literal interpretation, the phrase could be asking the listener to identify or differentiate between multiple witches. This could be in reference to a story, movie, or other fictional scenario where there are multiple witches present. The phrase implies that it may be difficult to distinguish between the various witches, as they might have similar appearances or abilities. However, the phrase is more commonly used in a figurative sense to express confusion or uncertainty about a situation or decision.
Throughout those early quarantine months I, like many others, had an abundance of free time. I found myself walking deeper and deeper into the surrounding neighborhoods. I would take nature shots along these walks and post them to my rebalancereiki IG account. Eventually, I found this magical little tucked away stream which happened to be on the edge between Westwood and Hillsdale. This became my destination, my respite. I’d sit at the stream and connect with nature all summer long. One day in November right after I signed the lease but didn’t yet have the keys, my husband and I decided to walk to my new work location and go get a bagel at the place a few doors down, getting to know this new area. In the stream on the way there, we saw an inverted duck fishing for food. It was the cutest sight and such a positive sign!

However, the phrase is more commonly used in a figurative sense to express confusion or uncertainty about a situation or decision. It suggests a scenario where there are multiple options or alternatives, and it is difficult to determine which one is the most appropriate or desirable. This could apply to anything from choosing between two job offers, to deciding on a course of action, to selecting an item from a menu.
How MOON MAGIC Came To Be
In March 2020 I closed my doors at Rebalance Reiki and Massage in Westwood the same day that my sons’ schools closed, not knowing when I’d be reopening them. I didn’t anticipate that “never” was an option! Like everyone, I adapted my business during those early covid days. I did more distance Reiki than I ever did before! It was really cool for me to explore my work in this way. I began hosting some Facebook Lives alone and with guests, hosted many Zoom classes and workshops for other homebound spiritual folks. I even set up my massage table in the backyard for friends and family during the summer months. When the time came to renew my lease in July, I decided not to. My friends would ask “Where are you going to practice when the weather gets cold again?” and I’d say “I’ll have a space by the winter.” I was putting my faith into what was unfolding in my plan to expand my business.
Originally, I thought I was going to open a larger yoga space/spiritual center in downtown Westwood (while still renting my smaller healing room for 1:1 sessions), but that big space fell through in early October. I was discouraged, but only for like a minute. I wondered to myself “where is the Universe redirecting me to?” I immediately began searching for vacant spaces to rent in the surrounding towns. In my pursuit of one location, I literally drove past the perfect one. I stopped, peered in the windows and decided THIS IS IT!
432 Hillsdale Ave, right in downtown Hillsdale by the train station. It all fell into place in record time. It turns out that it was the exact same distance from my house as the one in downtown Westwood was, 0.7 miles! The original location I was hoping for in Westwood was a 2nd floor spot- more removed from the general public. I liked that idea initially because I wasn’t ready to be OUT THERE on street level for all to see. It felt too accessible to me. But low and behold, this new spot in Hillsdale is right on Hillsdale Avenue. Pushing me right out of my comfort zone. People stop at the train or the traffic light all day long and they see me and my space. No more hiding! The world is ready for my kind of work. I guessed I was ready?!

All this time I’d been walking to that stream, I didn’t even know about this section of downtown Hillsdale! I hadn’t ventured that far. The stream was just on the other side of the parking lot where my new work is located. It stunned and amazed me to think, this place in nature was closely knit to the land my business was on! During a healing session a few weeks prior to that, my friend gave me the message “The land is calling you”. Yeah, it was! I was hanging out on it, getting intimate with it for months not knowing that THIS is where I’d end up with the next phase of my business.
When setting intentions and making wishes, we often wrap it at the end with “this or something better, for the highest and best good, or for the good of all or not at all”… I am SO glad that my space in downtown Westwood didn’t work out because it led me right where I was supposed to be, and at the perfect time. I opened the doors officially to Moon Magic on December 18, 2020 and it’s been such a fun adventure building the space out and witnessing all the magic that regularly occurs within these four walls. My hours vary, as they are built around my 1:1 clients, meditations and classes- so be sure to check my website before making the trip- or better yet, just schedule a session or a class and you can shop, play with crystals and oracle cards afterward. I have a retail section with lots of crystals, sage and products handmade by fellow women entrepreneurs living THEIR passion. It’s so awesome to support one another in this way. Moon Magic is a safe zone for spiritual folks to let their guards down and share what is ordinarily considered taboo topics! I’m so happy to offer this sacred space for others. I am so blessed to be here. Maybe I’ll see you soon!
