Hello Beautiful Readers,
Thank you so much for coming to my page! Are you in love? Are you lonely? Are you living?
Whether fictional, imagined, or corporeal, I believe at the heart of romance are the very nutrients of life: pleasure and fervor, hope and faith, discovery and surprise… To seek love is to seek living. The road to loving and being loved is full of elation but also many stumbles and steep ascents. Our hearts become heavy so easily. The doors to them close so often without even our realization. I think we are all feeling a little too lonely.
My Substack newsletter is a meditation on love as a spiritual experience that we’re always involved in and not one that we’re playing hide and seek with. It’s a pair of rose colored glasses, a magnifying glass, a map, a mirror...a tool to inject whatever love or romance you’re in need of. I hope for this to be a space to melt away barriers to affection, to cure your lonely heart. And to remind you that we can always be in love.
Here are some love spells you’ll find here:

Love Exercises
Love must be practiced to be felt. To love someone is to know them. Outside of my work as a writer, I’m also a yoga teacher and mediation guide. On my Substack, I share guided audio meditations, mindfulness exercises, activities, and journal prompts meant to deepen anyone’s experience of love with others and for themselves. Cozy up to your inner universe or that of a loved one’s. Perfect with a cup of tea.
Poetry, Fiction, and Essays
At the end of the day, isn’t every story in existence about love? I share love poems, interviews, stories, and essays (mine and other writers’), along with little musings on all that love entails to brighten your day and deliver some romance to your inbox. I like to think of them as love letters to everyone in the community.
Podcast
My podcast about romantic fiction and how it touches our real life desires, Charlie Swan’s Toxic Turn Ons, is available on Spotify and Apple but particularly fun on Substack. With each episode, I release extended show notes with content recommendations and self guided activities that correspond to the episode topic of the week.
Love you; mean it,
Vic
