Friday Gladheart came out of the broom closet in the late 1980s, blending her tarot readings with artisanal herbal creations at local markets. In 1996, she founded WitchAcademy.org, renowned as the oldest and most esteemed online academy for Witchcraft, tarot, and magical herbalism. Soon after, The Practical Witch's Almanac made its debut. Balancing her roles in teaching and writing, Friday is currently in the process of cultivating an organic teaching garden--a sanctuary where knowledge and nature intertwine.
