Embracing Rebirth: The Journey of Moving Forward in 2026

The Mystic Journey of Transformation

Personally, 2025 has unfolded as an ever-shifting tapestry, woven with eye-opening perspectives, life-altering events, and unsettling truths. These profound moments have been whispered only to a select few, as I cherish the sacredness of my rebirth, choosing to keep it close to my heart.

Confronting the Shadows

No topic has remained untouched; the essence of my marriage, the responsibilities of home and business ownership, the sacrifices of my longstanding commitments, and my spiritual pursuits have all been met with an underlying yearning for transformation and rebirth. These deeper feelings and questions began with a roar during Yule 2024, and this solar journey has drawn me closer to my truth, which is why I now feel ready to share some announcements.

A New Horizon Awaits

In March of 2025, my husband and I declared our intention to embark on a journey to Florida… or at least to explore the possibilities of what that might mean for us. We have outgrown our quaint, century-old home, and the opportunity for an upgrade feels like a distant dream. Though I won’t delve into the intricate details of the events that led us to this decision, I will say that the Universe has tested every fiber of my being, and we have chosen to sell our house this coming March. "Embracing Rebirth for 2026" is more than just a slogan for this New England woman; it's a chapter I never envisioned for myself and my husband, and its impact over the past year has been truly enlightening.

Personal and business changes take me to a new coast and new horizons

Embracing Rebirth

We are bound for North Port, FL; eager for more space and modern amenities that remain elusive in Massachusetts. While I hold a deep affection for the cities of Salem and Gloucester, I am equally excited for the new chapter that lies ahead—a lifestyle shift that resonates with my current feelings and aspirations.

A Bittersweet Farewell

With a heavy heart, I must announce that this April, after four enchanting years at 5 Short St., I will be closing the doors to Eternal Stitch’s first brick-and-mortar sanctuary. Having a storefront has been a profound blessing in my life, and not a day passes without immense gratitude. However, the truth is that it has not been the local community of Gloucester that has sustained my store; it has been all of YOU.

Continuing the Craft

I will continue to sew, craft, offer psychic counsel, teach, and share all my magical endeavors as I have since 2019. Edit: I will return 3-4 times a year for Sabbat rituals, October readings, and occasional pop-up events! I understand it may take time to find a new studio location, but I cannot express enough gratitude for your continued support, friendship, and love over these many years.

Upcoming Events

In the coming days, I will share more about the events and shoppe schedule for the remaining months. These events include Witchcon Online, Cabot Potions & Philters II, and Talismans. My updated website will be live very soon, along with all event details.

With Heartfelt Thanks

Thank you for taking the time to read this note. Your support means the world to me.

Till next time, much love,

Rev. Jacq Civtarese, HPs
