Echoes of the Hearth is the research & culture pillar of Mistress of the Hearth. It focuses on history, folklore, and the traditions that shape belonging—shared through publications, talks, and (beginning 2026) immersive Transylvanian folklore tours.
About Echoes of
the Hearth
Stories linger at the edges of every hearth. They live in the smoke, in the stones, in the memories passed down from one generation to the next. Echoes of the Hearth is where those stories are gathered and shared — through research, writing, and, beginning in 2026, immersive folklore tours in Transylvania.
Much of my academic work remains housed in my graduate studies at the University of Edinburgh, where I have focused on Spiritualism, mysticism, witchcraft, and the cultural power of belief. Building on this foundation, I am expanding into Transylvanian folklore and its influence on cultural behavior. Echoes of the Hearth is how this research begins to take shape beyond the university — made accessible, experiential, and alive.
Through publications and creative projects, I offer glimpses into the traditions that have shaped hearth and home. In time, this work will also take the form of guided experiences: walks through Transylvanian villages, evenings of storytelling, and encounters with the landscapes that have inspired centuries of myth. These tours, launching in 2026, will invite small groups to step into the living archive of folklore, to see how story and place are bound together.
Echoes of the Hearth is for travelers who long for more than surface impressions, for readers and communities who value story, and for those who know that culture is not just something we study — it is something we live.
You are invited to listen, to remember, and to carry these echoes forward.

You're Invited
The first Echoes of the Hearth tours will begin in 2026, guiding small groups through the landscapes, stories, and traditions of Transylvania. If you would like to be among the first to know when these experiences open, you are warmly invited to join the list.
Echoes of the Hearth is also a space for shared work. If you are part of a cultural institution, community project, or creative endeavor and wish to collaborate, I welcome your proposal. Together, we can bring history and folklore to life in meaningful ways.
