Hi, I'm Crimson, and I Help mystically-minded folks awaken to their dark feminine magick.

I am also the founder of Minx + Muse and creatrix of Esoeroticism™

The Fool’s Journey Begins

I had my witchy awakening around the same time I started taking sensual dance classes in 2013. I was in my early 30s and I had recently made a solo move across the country from NYC to LA seeking a new, inspired life. Not long after, I encountered a Tower moment when I went through a break up, left my full time job, and started craving deeper meaning and purpose. And damn, did I ever find it!

Before that I was a practicing Catholic into my early 20s and the prototype of "that girl" who was so insecure in her femininity that she hid as "one of the boys". Barf. Truth was, I didn't care for the teachings of the Bible but was drawn to the sacred devotion of it all, along with the gothic architecture, candles, and incense (so witchy!) And I was so self loathing and uncomfortable in my body and sexuality that I was jealous of other women and found it easier to just disassociate and hang with the dudes. Again, barf.

All of that changed when I started combining my interest in magick and the occult with my newfound feeling of empowered sensual expression.

The adventures of a neophyte

Y'all, I went deep into a metaphysical dive. I took tarot classes, did botanica cleansings, went to meditation and sound healing classes, worked with a lucid dreaming mentor, took occult workshops, worked with shamans and healers, had astrology and I Ching readings, and so many other unconventional esoteric things that I can't even remember.

And at the same time I was having a sexual awakening—but for my own damn pleasure—and it had nothing to do with the bedroom! I was taking as many feminine embodiment classes as I could, ranging from striptease and floorwork to pole and chair dance. For the first time in my life, sexuality was something I was expressing for myself, feeling unapologetic in my body, and not worrying about how I looked or was serving others. It was liberating, and I was LIT TF UP!

The initiation of the creatrix

Fast forward, universe guided me to Austin, TX in 2016, and I poured my heart (and savings) into opening the Minx + Muse studio in October of 2017.

Minx + Muse was the first of its kind to offer classes both in sensual dance and mysticism. Under this umbrella of dark feminine devotion, Minx + Muse was a voice for pole dance as embodiment versus fitness (and was the only pole studio in the world that did not teach or allow inversions or aerial tricks) and also created an open coven that taught eclectic witchcraft to anyone interested in exploring magick as a non-dogmatic practice (often a challenge in a state highly influenced by by Christian fundamentalism).

Though being used as a way to describe the dance and dark feminine magick at the studio since opening its doors, "Esoeroticism™" was formally trademarked in 2018 as the ownable methodology and inspiration of studio offerings. At its essence, Esoeroticism is a way to access sexual energy outside of intercourse and is rooted in the ritualistic chaos magick technique of gnosis. More specifically, Esoeroticism is a method to reclaim our bodies and sexual sovereignty, and dark feminine magick encompasses the tools that we use to support us on our journey.

DEATH + REBIRTH

In the end of 2024 I sold the Minx + Muse studio and moved back to the east coast where the incessant call of my mistress—the sea—had grown too loud to ignore. This was truly one of the most difficult decisions I’ve made in my life: leaving this community that I loved so dear. But I had an internal knowing that this part of my journey was ending and it was time to start a new adventure.

As of the time of this writing (July 2025) I am currently living in coastal North Carolina where I am setting up my 7.5 acre “Dea Magia” property to host local classes and on-site retreats. These are scheduled to start in the autumn, but in the meantime, my work with Esoeroticism and the dark feminine lives online through my virtual online community The Minx + Muse Multiverse, my private one-on-one virtual sessions, and my newest obsession: Substack!

I am (and forever will be) a perpetual student of this work. I feel so much love for that older version of me, but I cannot relate to that previous life where I was so controlled by external systems, standards, and expectations. The empowered freedom I now feel—the KNOWING that I am the ultimate creatrix of my life—is something I desire for all of our students (and the whole damn world!)

Which is why the work I through Esoeroticism and dark feminine magick is always expanding and evolving: so we can best serve and facilitate transformation as we expand and evolve ourselves!

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and I am so honored and enchanted to be on this journey with you!
