Patrons and Movement
Fuel the rebellion of women who refuse to go numb.
Witch in Progress began as one woman trying to stay conscious through grief, burnout, and the chaos of a world on fire. Along the way it became an embodied homecoming, a weekly dusk ritual of herbs, soup pots, scraps of paper and small altars, slowly gathering back the parts that survival scattered and putting them into coherence again.
Patrons keep these homecoming rituals alive, not only for me, but for every woman who needs language, rhythm, and a little witchcraft to feel at home in herself again.
What You Are Supporting
Witch in Progress is a practice ground for women who have lived many lives, across countries, careers, roles and losses, and are ready to come back home to themselves in a world that keeps sedating them with doom scrolling, productivity worship, and good vibes only culture.
Every week, the work takes shape as an embodied homecoming ritual. Sometimes it lives in the kitchen at dusk with herbs and simmering pots, sometimes through stitching, collage, altar setting, or slow acts of order. Each cycle helps women process what is happening in their bodies, their relationships, their work, and the wider world. It is where neuroscience meets spellcraft, where nervous systems get to exhale, and where women remember they are allowed to be fully human and still in pieces.
Your support turns this from one woman writing on the internet into a sustainable movement, more homecoming rituals, deeper series rooted in real life, and more women able to access this work regardless of their circumstances.
Who I Am and Why I Started
I am Viktoria, writer, ritualist, mother, caregiver, and recovering hold it all together expert. I started Witch in Progress in the middle of real life, kids, caretaking, study, grief, and the low grade apocalypse of our current news cycle, layered over years of moving countries, shifting work, and never quite feeling fully at home anywhere.
I watched my own nervous system swing between overdrive and collapse. I watched other women do the same, holding households, jobs, and emotional labor while the world kept asking us to be productive, quiet, and endlessly reinvent ourselves without ever integrating who we had already become.
Witch in Progress became my way of refusing that script. A place to write honestly, to bring in the science, to honor the old stories, and to build rituals that work in a kitchen at midnight just as much as on a perfect retreat, stirring soup, cutting herbs, stitching scraps back together, clearing one small surface at a time. Patrons make it possible for me to keep doing this work, and to make it accessible to more women who need a place to slowly reassemble themselves.
How Your Support Moves
Patronage keeps the lights on, and keeps the homecoming rituals flowing. It funds writing time, audio production, hosting costs, and scholarship access for women who cannot currently pay but deeply need this work.
Sustain the Rituals
Weekly homecoming rituals, Sunday audios, and the quiet infrastructure behind them, editing, hosting, and the nervous system research that informs each cycle of putting ourselves back together.
Support Women in Transition
Patron funds help open access for women navigating loss, burnout, caregiving, and major life change, so money is not a gatekeeper to the slow, steady work of coming home to themselves.
Grow the Movement
More patrons means more series, deeper experiments, workshops, and collaborative spaces where women can practice staying coherent and awake together in a world that keeps scattering them.
