Hii Beautiful People! I’m Giselle.

Poet, artist, lover, follower of the beauty way.

Welcome to Incantations, a blog, a journal, a meditation.

This is a space where I practice in public. A written experiment of sorts where I come here full and leave emptied, however that may look. Once a week (twice for paid subscribers), you will receive an email from me. I never plan in advance what will happen here

Every Sunday (kinda lol) you’ll receive my current reflections of the week and Things I’m Into (Spoiler Alert: I’m into a lot lol).

Why become a paid subscriber?

If you’d like to, you have the choice to upgrade to a paid subscription. Some of you already have (which I didn’t expect to happen so quickly🥲). I’m truly so grateful. Here’s why maybe you should consider:

Additional Wednesday Email

With a paid subscription to this offering, you will receive an additional email on Wednesdays (or as close to Wednesday as possible lol I was never a good student) with some current works in progress. They might be anything from photographs I’ve taken (I love film photography so much), poems I’ve written, something I painted that week, an experiment in video work (which has been a current hyper-fixation). If you can’t afford a paid subscription and want to receive this additional email, please feel free to send a note (support@gisellebuchanan.com) with a little bit about you💕

Invest in me

Honestly, the simple truth is your contribution will be in direct support of my practice. This is no small thing, especially in a time of so much economic uncertainty for us all. I know you need you dollars, so it means so much to me when you to make a decision to be a little wind in my sails.

Full archives

Becoming a paid subscriber, even just for one month, gives you access to reading all the back issues.

Special offers and other goodies

You’ll be the first to know about events, new workshops, and everything else. I will also plan occasional paid subscriber only creative meet-ups (virtual and maybe even IRL if enough of you are interested/in the same place). Maybe you can meet some kindred spirits and leave with friends.

A Surprise Gift For Annual Subscriptions

You’ll get a personally curated gift in the mail which could be anything like (not limited to but including) a poster, a handmade zine,

I’m so grateful that you chose to be on this little adventure with me. I hope you find something you can keep here and that this space is a source of sustenance your you and your creative practice.
