As a child, Tanja was captivated by magic. Inspired by Bibi Blocksberg, she used a twig broom gifted by her grandmother to attempt her first flying lessons and eagerly wrote down her own spells. But as she grew older, fantasy and play faded into the background, and she found herself conforming to societal expectations. After completing her final formal education, Tanja decided it was time to break free and follow her own path. She immersed herself in the study of witchcraft, herbalism, and magic: completing a phytotherapy program, delving into the study of runes, and attending courses at the Hexenschule Wien.
