Harry Potter opens the door to a bigger question — how much of witchcraft's "magic" is actually real, and how does someone even start learning it? Lindy's answer: "when the student is ready, the teacher will come," the same way she found her own path after walking into a New Orleans shop years ago. From there, she takes us inside the Witch Depot itself — candles, over 250 herbs, close to 300 crystals, and her favorite item in the whole store: a Mexican black king snake. She's been collecting crystals since she was 12, black tourmaline is still her favorite, and she breaks down the real way to choose and cleanse a crystal — matched to the element it actually came from, not just left under the full moon. Know thyself. Balance your energy.
Takeaways
- Lindy is honest about the limits of her own tradition — assessing Harry Potter's spellwork accuracy would take insight from an English witchcraft lineage she isn't personally trained in.
- To her knowledge, J.K. Rowling wasn't a practicing witch — just an author whose books for children became a worldwide phenomenon.
- On becoming a practitioner: "when the student is ready, the teacher will come" — Lindy found her own mentor by walking into a New Orleans shop early in her path.
- The Witch Depot carries over 250 herbs and close to 300 crystals — her personal favorite item in the store is a Mexican black king snake.
- Lindy has collected crystals since age 12; black tourmaline remains her favorite for its calming, protective feel.
- Her approach to crystal cleansing: match the method to the stone's origin element — fire for volcanic stones like obsidian, earth for grounding stones — rather than defaulting to a full moon cleanse.
