Magical Adventuress, Rogue Lady Scholar, Keeper of The Lost Library, and Counsel to Dangerous Women.
I’m Lisa Quigley. Come into my Parlour…
I began my career as a Horror Maven—launching the two-time This Is Horror Award-winning podcast Ladies of the Fright, writing my Bram-Stoker Award-nominated novel The Forest, and editing all things horror, true crime, and paranormal as Managing Editor of The Lineup. Before that, I was employed on a Maggie Award-winning health and fitness magazine for three years. I’ve got an MFA in creative writing, a yoga certification, two hypnosis certifications, and multiple energy work trainings. I’ve apprenticed in Feminine Magic, Psychic Channeling, Biomancy, and Biodelics.
I’ve spent my life following exhilarating clues into forbidden places—through books, dreams, ancient magic, fairy tales, and mythical stories my strict Christian upbringing taught me were dangerous.
With my Scorpio South Node, I’m no stranger to going where other people are too terrified to even look. The Dark Mother has always called me to descend, investigate, get my hands dirty, and return with deliciously taboo treasures.
Yet my Taurus North Node won’t let me stay buried in the dark forever: She calls me Earthside—into a life of feminine wealth, luxury, and decadent romance with deep, watery roots.
This is the riskiest quest yet.
I like my magic the way I like my adventures: a little dangerous, deeply intelligent, occasionally outrageous, and worth getting mud on the bottom of my silk hem for.
And I have been tasked with calling forward other notorious women, who have never really fit in “here” or “there” but who are called to create magical worlds from their own complex & contradictory depths.
Inside my magical containers, I share feminine lineage magic teachings from 16+ years of practice & training, as well as secret structural intel I’ve learned working at high levels in the book publishing, magazine editorial, and marketing industries for 10+ years.
I’m particularly obsessed with what happens when we follow the clues we’ve been taught to overlook.
I’m a lifelong adventuress who has always gone exactly where I’ve been told not to. It hasn’t always worked out but it has made for one hell of a good story.
Along the way, I’ve emboldened hundreds of Magical Women to become Intrepid Heroines and say yes to the Adventures of their lives.
These days, I’m scheming and plotting with consequential magical women making bold moves, taking daring risks, following outrageous ideas, and making dirty cash.
Our decadent, outrageous, feminine magic will change the world. I know this in my bones.
I instigate soulful and sinful women like you to pursue your adventurous impulses and create a wealthy, luxurious, fascinating life on your terms that both satisfies you and enchants the world.
Welcome to the Restoration Era.
Are you up for the adventure?
“I’ve a little looking glass upon my parlour shelf,
If you’ll step in one moment, dear, you shall behold yourself.”
I am an Aquarius sun and rising with a Leo moon and a 5/1 Splenic Projector.
