about your hosts
This is a collaboration between three WNC business women: Lindsay Johnson, Shelby Graves, and Auburn Lily. Learn more about each of us below <3
Lindsay, of Willbloom Books
Willbloom Books is dedicated to nurturing a love of literature for the Weaverville community. We believe a bookshop should be more than a place to buy books - it should be a space where everyone feels welcome to explore, dream, and find themselves within the pages. Whether you're seeking adventure, romance, a spark of inspiration, or simply a quiet moment among stories, you'll find it here. Learn more about Willbloom Books (and get your copies of ACOTAR!)
Shelby, of Coven Hair Studios
I’m Shelby, an intentional hairstylist based in Asheville, North Carolina who believes beauty is both ritual and transformation. I grew up here in Western North Carolina and am honored to call this community home. My chair is a space where self-expression and self-care meet, a place to pause, reconnect, and leave feeling more you than ever before. Every haircut, color, and style I create is guided by intuition, artistry, and deep listening. My work blends creativity with care, and a touch of magic because hair is energy, and how we wear it matters. Follow Shelby on Instagram or book with her here.
Auburn Lily ✧ Healing Arts
My heart found its home in Appalachia in 2009. A dormant mystic, the magick in these mountains awakened me from my spiritual slumber. Introverted by nature, for years I tended to my craft in the shadows. In late 2017, I found myself answering a new and exciting call, to share my magick, and most importantly, to inspire others to do the same. Now a published author and intuitive astrologer, I offer ritualized astrological wayfinding on my podcast INNER ORBIT + our community space, the crystalline coven.
