About Me

Hi, I’m Wren Kirk.

Some people say witches aren’t real — I think they just haven’t met one… or discovered themselves yet.

For me, being a witch isn’t about spells. It’s about power, purpose, and finding the light that lives inside every storm.

Now, before you get the wrong idea — no, I don’t call myself a witch.

“The Witches of the South” is a name that came from the things Blu and I love — the worlds of Oz and Wicked, living in Florida, the magic of friendship, and the stories that remind us we all have both light and shadow inside us.

There’s always a “good witch” and a “bad witch,” but I think they live in all of us — it’s a choice we all make.

And for me — I’ve always been team good witch.

(Unless we’re talking about Elphaba… because she’s my girl!)

When I think about what “witch” really means, I find it fascinating that the word originally came from wicce, which meant “wise woman.”

To me, that makes sense — because being a witch has always symbolized someone who owns who she is, even when the world doesn’t understand her.

It’s about using the power God gave you, the way He intended, and knowing that no human gets to define that for you.

I believe we all have a choice — good or bad — and even when darkness tries to rise, God is still in control.

The enemy can’t even show himself without proving God’s existence first.

So maybe that’s what being a “good witch” really is — choosing light, no matter what.

I also think it explains God, in a way.

Because for me, He’s the one who helps me discover my true power within — the same power I believe He gave me.

That’s really where The Witches of the South was born — out of love for stories that mix wonder and truth, laughter and lessons, and bringing people together from all walks of life.

Blu and I wanted to create something that felt like a conversation with your best friend — the kind where you start out talking about life, and before you know it, you’ve wandered into something deep and meaningful.

We talk about everything: faith, magic, friendship, mistakes, forgiveness, current events, the days we’re thriving, and the days we’re just trying to keep it together.

We laugh — a lot. Usually at our own jokes.

Shows like I Love Lucy, Bewitched, and I Dream of Jeannie shaped us — and even though people laughed at us for watching “old shows,” we always understood them on a deeper level.

And I think that’s part of what makes this space special. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being real.

And for those who are just finding us — Whispers of Windsor is the magical world Blu and I are building together, and The Witches of the South is where we take you behind the scenes to show what developing a fictional world is really like.

The ups, the downs, and the things most writers would never share.

It’s filled with friendship, mystery, heartbreak, and hope — and the podcast gives you a front-row seat to the process while we bring it to life.

You’ll get to know the hearts behind the story before the story ever reaches the world.

That’s actually what gave Blu and me the idea to start reading the Bible from the beginning on our podcast — what better book about creating a world is there? I personally have read the Bible, but never cover to cover other than in CCD class, where usually the instructor was the one reading it to us.

I’ve always sort of bounced around, letting God lead me to what to read — but that’s a story for another time.

At the end of the day, that’s what this is all about — creating something that makes people feel seen, inspired, and less alone.

Because I’ve spent a lot of my life feeling like I didn’t belong anywhere, and if The Witches of the South can make even one person feel like they do — that’s magic enough for me.

So if you’re into laughter, honesty, curiosity, and a little bit of chaos wrapped in southern charm — you’re in the right place — a place you can come respectfully as you are.

Welcome to The Witches of the South. Opinions welcome, judgments are not.
