Witch in Progress · Grove Patrons
Bring the larger work
into form.
Patronage for the books, archives, and audio that take years, not a Tuesday.
The Hearth keeps the weekly fire lit. The Grove builds the things you can’t make in a weekly instalment — books, ritual archives, audio collections, visual worlds, public-access practices. Grove Patrons fund those into existence. Not a subscription with extra steps. Patronage, the old kind: it builds the work, it doesn’t get to boss it.
What you’re funding
Some work refuses to be made in weekly instalments. A book of naming rituals. An audio archive women come back to for a decade. A seasonal collection. A visual world. Work like this gets built in years, not posts — so it needs patrons who can fund it that way.
Grove patronage brings the larger body of work into being — books, ritual archives, audio collections, seasonal ritual packs, visual worldbuilding, podcast and workshop scripts, public-access practices — and keeps the free rituals free for the women who need them and can’t pay. Your support doesn’t buy a perk. It builds the thing.

Underwrite a whole project
For larger annual patronage or to fund a specific book, archive, or collection. This goes to a person, not a queue — no auto-responder, no countdown timer. Need a formal invoice? Say so and you’ll get one.
Patronage in the old sense
Your patronage brings this work into form. It builds the work — it doesn’t get to boss it. That independence is the whole point: it’s what makes the work worth funding in the first place.
What patronage includes: optional recognition (always your call), early access to the work as it’s made, and the knowledge that you helped build something lasting and keep the free rituals free.
What it doesn’t include: creative or editorial control, ownership, investment rights, financial return or revenue share, guaranteed influence over the work, or tax-deductibility (unless confirmed in writing). Personal spiritual access isn’t included unless separately and explicitly offered.
On recognition: it’s always opt-in and gratitude-based — a “made possible by the support of” mention for an individual by name, or an organization by name or logo, with wording approved by both of us. It’s a thank-you, never an endorsement, and it never implies you shaped the work. You’re also welcome to support entirely privately.
Who you’re backing
I’m Viktoria — writer, ritualist, and the person who’ll actually build the thing you fund. Witch in Progress started as one woman refusing the script that says women come back to life by getting quieter. It turned into a body of work.
Grove patronage is what turns that from posts on the internet into books, archives, and audio that outlast any single week — and keeps the free rituals free for the women who can’t pay. You fund the work and trust it to stay its own thing. I won’t waste either.
