COMING SOON!

Channel surf!

elcome to my little corner of the internet! This website was created out of a nostalgia for the old web and a defiance against modern day social media culture. My name is Payge, and I invite you into my world. This page will always be changing as I change. I'm of the belief that women are multifaceted, seasonal, and not meant to fit into man-made boxes. I believe in inspiration over influence, always. I believe in finding magic in the mundane, being your own muse, and surrounding yourself with other muses. Let’s break away from the stereotypical Muse, where she is meant to uplift some mediocre man. Nope babe, that's not us! We inspire each other, find our own magic, and don't play by the boys' arbitrary rules.

I hope you have fun surfing my website. My goal is not to spoon feed you on who I am, but to let you unravel it by finding the little pieces of myself I have scattered around this site. HINT: Click on things, even if you've visited this page before and the image wasn't previously clickable, I will be adding easter eggs and downloadable treasures. Be sure to sign my guestbook in the chat room below. This site is best viewed on desktop! If you’re like me and miss the old days of the internet then this website is for you. Bookmark it and come back for more fun updates.

w/ the sound on for pure nostalgia!

Picture this. It's the year 2000 and the 5th season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is live on the air. The internet is a place in a room with a chair on the family computer. It's not an omnipresent app on your phone. Your family just bought and downloaded AOL off a disc. Nobody needs to use the house phone so you boot up the internet and wait patiently through the dial up screeching sound you didn't realize you'd someday miss. "Welcome, you've got mail!" You spend hours in Buffy chat rooms and browsing uniquely coded websites, maybe you write in your livejournal or tend to your neopets. You're definitely gonna visit your favorite dollz site to make cute pixel versions of you and your friends.

What if I told you that internet can still exist?

It might not be on a disc but it can still be a place you GO. We don't need to obey the algorithm gods. We can just make cool websites and find each other. I got my start building Buffy fansites on Geocities & Angel Fire. What I loved is that you sought out your communities and that people found you organically. There was no influence, only inspiration. That's what I hope to inspire here at witchmuse.com. Part grimoire and digital altar, part diary, part archive, part chaos. What I believe the internet should be. And now you're reading this so we have the community/coven part!
