About Gabriel

Gabriel Varzalyi-Lopez is a devotee to his ancestors, spirits of nature, and the God and Goddess of his mother and father. He is a seer, diviner, animist, teacher, and conjurer trained in the Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans at Crescent City Conjure, before its move into the French Quarter.

As a teacher, Gabriel teaches Southern Folk Magic classes through Ritualcravt remotely, and other shops around the country. He brings hands-on experience into his teaching method and creating a safe and inclusive learning environment for his students. While mainly working in Southern Conjure, he is an initiate into his ancestral and familial lineages such as trollkunning and Isese.

Gabriel sees the balance that both the spiritual and material world have in the progression of one’s life. Born from a lineage of witches, orthodox priests, farmers, artists, and at times rebellious characters, he understand the process by which messages are received from Spirit, allowing for a different type of magical work to occur.

As the purveyor and owner of Haus of Galax, Botanica and Curio Shop, Gabriel feels and hears the call of Spirit through the winding southern brooks and on high mountain peaks, observing the simple magics that each of us cherish in our everyday lives. His main goal in providing services to the community is to make sure his clients are taken care of mentally and spiritually.

He currently does divination services in-person at Dr. Tumblety’s in Allentown, PA.
