I’m Emily, your friendly neighbourhood feminist witch, haunting East London. That was a mouthful.
I write blog posts to help you:
- Bring creativity into your self-care routine.
- Support your spiritual journey with a bit of magickal mindfulness.
- Live a bit more ethically and slowly.
I’m passionate about education, the environment, and the importance of mindfulness and self-care. Trust me, I need self-care, and I’ve become a pro at it. I’ve survived PTSD, and I’m fighting Lupus, an autoimmune disease.
Some Fun Facts…
My birthday is on Halloween.
I have aphantasia, which means I don’t have a visual imagination! Read all about it here.
I love music, art, museums, theatre, mythology, books… and plants!
The Blog
Emily Underworld started as a London Student Lifestyle Blog, back in 2014. I’m no longer a student, but I do have lots of university advice blog posts.
I finished my MA in 2020. Hopefully, I’ll complete a PhD one day. I study Classics and Archaeology, which includes a lot of Greek Mythology… hence the blog name!
I focus on Creativity, Self-Care, Witchcraft and Easy Ethical Living. You Will Also Find:
- Advice for students, including study tips, how to save money, and fun things to do.
- Personal essays about mental health and chronic illness. All future personal essays will be shared on Medium instead of here.
- Book reviews + reading lists.
- Travel content, focused on Europe and London.
- Blogging + Social Media Resources.
Other things I do with my life
- I’m really into music: I play the guitar, a bit of piano, I’m a soprano singer, and I love musicals. I’ve been lucky enough to perform in concerts, at weddings, and on BBC Radio.
- I enjoy spending time outdoors exploring London.
- In 2012, I won a mural competition for the 20th Century Fox & Tim Burton film ‘Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter’, which was displayed in Shoreditch, pictured below. I won several photography competitions at King’s College, and once I even posed nude as Aphrodite!
You can find my art portfolio here, and my shop here!
