I've been a weirdo my whole life. I endured my fair share of bullying for it too. That quiet kid who enjoyed The Spiderwick Chronicles and believed in fairies way too long? Yeah, that was me. Owning a business isn't something I ever would've imagined doing. I still have absolutely no idea what I'm doing most days. But you know what? It's all been working out, much to my existential panic.

 

Like most people, I was raised fearing the dark side. Though my curiosity got stronger as I got older. The wonder of what was really out there sucked me in, the odd beauty of preserved dead things for anatomical study, and the whispers of the secrets of life enticed me. Especially since darkness seemed to follow me like a persistent storm. When I listened to the call, finally life started making sense. I felt like I could actually practice what I learned in church for morals. My spiritual connection finally felt like it had a place to be enjoyed and explored. I was safe. I was home. As soon as I was able, I left and never looked back, continuing my journey ever since. 

​

I started picking up creative hobbies in middle school. Drawing, painting, and calligraphic techniques piqued my interest first, and those became a good base for learning more and more trades slowly. Despite road bumps with learning, the discontentment with not making art or other various crafts eventually became more frustrating than the process of making things themselves. My crafting abilities came into practical use as I was joining the workforce in college. In 2019 I was getting more and more curious about how crafts folk applied for art fairs. Searching entrepreneurial inspiration boards gave me an idea. Making tools of my craft for others. So I sat with some buddies and talked it over. It wasn't until 2022 that Oracle's End was formed.  I wish a very hearty "Suck it!" to everyone who thought my pension for creativity would screw me over in life.

 

​Though the journey of entrepreneurship has been a long one, its been a good one. A lot has happened on this crazy ride. Friendships were made and lost. Families changed. Relationships blossomed and withered. Through it all, Oracle's End has been able to provide purpose, to become a source of inspiration for those starting a new journey in life, a safe space for those already on their path, an accurate resource for sharing knowledge with those in the community, and a fun place to hang out with cool shiny stuff.

 

Whatever you're here for, Oracle's End is glad to have you.

Come in for a spell.
