Fungi were once mistaken for plants. It took centuries for them to be recognized as a kingdom of their own. Artists, too, must learn to claim that kind of sovereignty—to stand apart and thrive in strange soil.

In this audio essay by artist and witch Elisa Vita, you’ll hear about:

• How mystery and magnetism feed creative identity
• Why boundaries and selectivity are essential to artistic survival
• The hidden allure of toads, mushrooms, and the “villainous” feminine in folklore
• How to protect your energy while still being seen
• The sacred tension between privacy, glamour, and revelation in an online age

A Kingdom of One is for anyone who’s ever felt too strange, too subtle, or too sensitive to stand out—and who’s ready to turn that strangeness into strength.
