==Personal life==
Georgina grew up in Appalachia, and stated that she was “surrounded in traditions and superstitions growing up, but never really saw it as occultism or anything supernatural, just part of life.” She later discovered tarot, occult books, and more intensive occultism, and reassessed her beliefs. Georgina's parents are strictly Christians. Georgina also has a brother. 
As a kid, Georgina used to go to church with her family and used to question the Bible. Additionally, she became an agnostic for a short while from her questioning the concepts within the Bible. Georgina now tends to focus on the Western Esoteric Tradition. Georgina currently follows the religion, Thelema. Her experience with the occult community began online.
