Frequently Asked Questions
Our mission
What is your mission?
As a small business, we strive to promote the raw and unfiltered works of LVF.LVX and her cohorts, where every piece, story, and intention is a testament to the beauty and dualistic nature of the human experience.
"I take pride in being as transparent and raw with my writing, services, and art as humanly possible. I do my best to portray my life journey without succumbing to societal pressures of marketability or the haste judgements of others on what my work might mean. I am an open book, unapologetically expressing the story of my transcendence. Because my works are so real and personal to me, I invite my fans to join me, regardless of which stage I am, or you are on the journey." - LVF.LVX
What are your core values?
Our deepest values center on understanding our purpose on this planet: to witness, address, and celebrate; to unravel who we are and recreate ourselves; lose and gain in the process, taking with us the truths that make us who we are today. The books we publish represent these core values and ideals.
What does your logo mean?
The logo is our version of the alchemical symbol of Neptune which represents inspiration, imagination, and creativity.
What does your name LVF.LVX mean?
"I'm known by many names, but I typically go by L for short, although people who know me personally known me by my first or middle name-- it all depends on where you are in your walk of life with me. LVF are my initials and LVX is Latin for light; together I like to think of it as love and light."

What exactly is Shadow Work?
Shadow work is a deep and transformative practice that invites us to face the unconscious aspects of our psyche—the hidden, repressed, and often uncomfortable parts of ourselves that we’ve pushed aside in order to fit into societal norms or protect ourselves from emotional pain. These shadow aspects, shaped by past experiences, traumas, and societal conditioning, hold the key to our deepest fears, unresolved emotional wounds, and untapped potential. By acknowledging and integrating these parts—through conscious reflection, acceptance, and healing—we can transmute the darkness within into light, breaking free from limiting patterns and reconnecting with our true essence. Shadow work is not merely a psychological process; it is a spiritual journey of self-liberation, where we reclaim our wholeness and align more deeply with our authentic self, transcending dualities and achieving inner harmony.

You'll have the direct access link to schedule your 1:1 Shadow Work Integration Sessions which will be deep dives into your psyche-- revealing and unraveling any areas you are stuck and why.

You can read my recent interviews HERE. In the meantime, subscribe to my Newsletter for updates on upcoming books, new, and services to find out how it all ends.
Tell us about the title of your book: Tapes in Drag... what does it mean?
Tapes in drag is the uncommon occurrence that GenX dealt with when the audio cassette would get stuck in the pinch roller, making the music you're listening to sound like you've accidentally opened the gates of Hades and are being visited by a down-pitched, slowly dying demon who has one last message to deliver just before you hit the eject button and ruin your tape forever. Thanks for asking!"
You have described your poetry as a "diary of your ego-death." What does this mean?
A lot of my poetry is based on death and rebirth-- what it means to navigate within this reality in various states of awareness. Losing your sense of "self" time and time again, getting closer to the version of you beyond time. Each book of mine is like a comparative analysis of my past, where I've been and where I'm going.
When can we expect your next poetry book, and what can we expect from it?
I work with two imprints: MallMagick (edgy, raw, and dark poetry geared 20-30 year olds) and Ink & Shadow, the more professionally toned manuscripts centered around self-help, occult/esoteric study, and/or nonfiction genres (35-55 yr olds). Some of the titles I'm currently working on are Letters to Hadit; Plague, Prayer, and Magick; Love, Sex, and Some Kind of Witchcraft; and i/I.
