Weird Witch & Creative Visionary:
Crafting Stories, Holding Space, & Honoring Life’s Mysteries
Together, let’s weave magic & meaning
I’m Kat—an intentional witch blending witchcraft, art, writing, and deathwork to honor the beauty of both life and the beyond, with clarity and profound care.
A sanctuary of imagination & reverance
I’m Kat, an enchanting creative spirit weaving magic through design, writing, ritual, and deathwork. Guided by the belief that our creations and care for each other are sacred acts, I invite you to explore the mystical dance between life and beyond the veil. Through art & design, I craft work with clarity and cohesion. With writing & Deathcraft, I delve into the mysteries of mortality, ritual, and remembrance. My reverent grave tending and deathwork honor a continuum of relationships with the dead.
This is a realm where magic, meaning, and memory converge.
✔ Thoughtful, collaborative design
✔ Death-positive care
✔ Writing rooted in lived experience and reflection
Ways we can work together
-
witchcraft & spellwork
Custom rituals based on your own intentions, created by carefully selecting corresponding elements such as color, moon phase & astrology, plants & herbs, stones, etc.
-
Deathcraft
Death-positive education, end-of-life guidance, and remembrance practices that support more honest relationships with death.
-
The Grave Grl
Reverent tending of burial sites, including cleaning, seasonal care, and intentional acts of remembrance—offered with consent and deep respect for the dead and their loved ones.
-
Art & Design
Custom designs & work made with care and intention.
Grounded, ethical, and human-centered work
My deathwork is informed by formal training in sacred deathcare, hands-on experience in end-of-life companionship, and ongoing study in grief, ritual, and ethical practice.
My creative work is shaped by years of design experience and a deep respect for clarity and communication.
Across all of it, I work slowly, thoughtfully, and with care.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Kat Rist acknowledges that their life and work take place on the ancestral and unceded lands of Indigenous peoples who have lived here for generations upon generations. The land now called Kentucky, including the region around Shepherdsville and Bullitt County, has been stewarded by Native peoples for thousands of years, long before European colonization began and before this land was named or claimed by settlers. Indigenous Nations who have historical and cultural ties to this region include, but are not limited to, the Shawnee, Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Osage peoples, as well as the many other tribes whose presence is preserved through archaeological and oral histories.
I honor, with gratitude, the resilience of these Indigenous communities — past, present, and future — and recognize that colonization was and continues to be an ongoing process that displaced these peoples, disrupted their way of life, and severed relationships with land and water. I acknowledge that this place was never “empty,” nor simple a frontier, but a home, a meeting place, and stewardship territory for Indigenous peoples and cultures.
Kat Rist stands in solidarity with Indigenous communities in protecting ecological and cultural lifeways, and commits to learning, listening, and acting in ways that support Indigenous sovereignty, environmental justice, and healing. I encourage my community to educate themselves on the history and enduring presence of Native peoples in Kentucky and to support Native-led movements for land stewardship, cultural revitalization, and justice.
