I'm grateful that you made it here, to this safe + protected space with me.
My born-name is Kayla Ciara, I am a Brooklyn-born Visual Artist and #BlackGirlWitch with a Sun in Cancer, a Moon in Sagittarius, rising on the Gemini.
Growing up in Brooklyn gave me this really cool edge, I was always around the strangest people, experiencing life-altering things, and seeing and feeling those high energy jolts of life people love NYC so much for. I always knew I was born on my divinely right path, in the divinely right place, so when I began my holistic, spiritually aligned journey in 2013, it came as no surprise to me. I was always the artist, sketching and creating everywhere and everything, I dreamt of becoming the artsty woman, dressing weirdly with colors splashed everywhere. It's still so funny how it came true.
When you're on your path back to enlightenment, you can see how certain habits, skills and talents all come from who you were as a child. I began painting during this spiritual growth, an ascension from sketching, that I can truly say catapult me into the creative endeavours I enjoy today. I went to college for Psychology, which I loved, and became a licensed Cosmetologist. I hold both industries so dear to me, they are my spiritual foundation and my life's most important experiences.
I can recall many moments where I was called by spirit to dive deeper into my soul and history. Maybe I'll write some blog posts sharing the my story in detail, but around 2015 I began to feel and notice that I was very different from others, understanding life's nuances a littler deeper and taking an interest in metaphysical topics like alchemy and soul healing. Becoming a Witch was not something I set my eyes upon doing, I truly had no true knowledge or feelings about the energy of a Witch, I knew what I knew from movies and stories but it never awakened anything within me until I met a psychic who told me this eerie truth about my family that I understood too well. I was seeing angel numbers everywhere and meeting profound people. I was knee deep in a spiritual awakening and my calling to explore my shadow woman aspect was loud. Here is born the Moon Goddess, Black Girl Witch who crafts metaphysical healing products, and has fully embraced the multi-dimensional layers of her Self.
This is what I am here for.
In 2020, I became a mother to Twin boy and girl, Kaine Ra and Kitana Moon, and became a full-time entrepreneur during my beautiful pregnancy. I began crafting fixed, enchanted candles in 2017 as a way for me to practice what I was studying and after much healing, study and crafting, they grew in potency and power. They eventually became Enchanted Candles, I use them as an ancient, traditional way of connecting to the spirit realm. I loved how they worked so beautifully and wanted to share them with others. It took my creativity to another level, candle crafting is true alchemy that I am proud to share with others. That's how The Godyssey Shop was born.
It's taken me some time to get to this place of comfort and accessibility, as my work and practice has always been shared exclusively to Instagram and by word-of-mouth. It feels good to finally be here.
My goal is to help others find their way back to their true selves, to reconnect to their deep inner spirit, child and Soul and to live expressively, unapologetically and honestly. I create products and tools that helps one to navigate the spiritual journey, as well as offer services of rituals and guidance to aid in the process.
It is important for us, as a human race, to continuously work to be better individuals. We must always be ready to dismantle old traditions so we can welcome in new ways of being and in turn, create a much more harmonious place to live, as we inhabit mother Earth.
