Welcome to the fireside.

Pull up a chair, love – you've found your way to the firelight. 
This space is for the seekers, the soft-glow souls, the ones who feel the world more deeply than they let on. 
I’m Amaranth Autumnwolf – intuitive writer, tarot reader, hearth-witch, and the creator of both The Fireside Autumnwolf and The Samhain Cottage. 

I walk a hearth-centered spiritual path: a form of witchcraft rooted in reflection, symbolism, and everyday magic. My practice is solitary, gentle, and deeply personal – no theatrics, no gatekeeping, just quiet work at the crossroads of intuition and lived experience. 

This blog is where I share that journey. 
Here, you’ll find stories, tarot reflections, creative musings, spiritual insights, and cozy-witch lifestyle pieces meant to nourish your spirit and spark your sense of meaning. I talk about intuition, journaling, resilience, and the ways we hold space for ourselves – especially when life gets heavy or uncertain. 

I came back to my creative path later in life – continuing my education and returning to my writing with renewed purpose, reclaiming my voice, and building a future rooted in sovereignty and soul. This blog is part of that journey – a companion to my deeper work and a soft glow in the dark for anyone walking their own hard-earned path with quiet courage. 

I’ve always had dogs by my side. 
Grizelda, my current shadow/house-wolf and daily source of mischief, keeps my heart grounded and my feet on the earth. 
Before her, Ruckus and Cinder shaped me in ways I still carry. Cinder, who was my familiar in life, still lingers as a guiding spirit in the work I do. 

The Fireside Autumnwolf is more than a blog. 
It’s a hearth-space. A place to breathe. A place to remember who you are. 
Whether you’re here for tarot insight, creative companionship, or just a moment of warmth in your day, I’m glad you found your way here. 

There’s always room at the fire.
