People often say that we are living through the weirdest and most challenging time in human history, and it does seem to be evolving at an accelerated rate.  It requires real effort now to keep up and stay conscious as we try to navigate the ever-shifting social and technological terrain of modern life.  With AI now driving so much of our experience online (and soon to be offline) it behooves us each to take some extra time to craft a strategy for managing our energy and reclaiming our attention in the new year...   ★ Managing Energy and Reclaiming Your Attention in Th ..read more

Do you believe work can feel like play?   Did you know that you don't have to push beyond your energetic limits or suffer and struggle and race against time to make a living?   For a long time I did not.   I know it's commonly said, but I really didn't know that going with the flow would make my life so much easier.   I guess I just didn't know what that actually meant.   I did not know that going with the flow is not about checking out.   It's about checking in.   It's about flowing within the reality of my current situatio ..read more

I refuse to abandon myself. I won't be nudged, inch by inch, into a gradual loss of my natural pace and sense of well-being.    I am not too busy to read a novel or to build a seasonal altar, to prep a meal slowly, wander the hills just for the heck of it or have a long, winding conversation with a friend. I will not be algorithmically trained away from the truth or caught up in needless distractions.    I will not surrender my attention span to the highest bidder. Instead I will make a daily point of spending time outside without a phone or computer; just the birds and the ..read more

I am not a professional psychic, but I am psychic... just like you. Everybody is psychic. The Latin root of the word psychic is psychicus, which means "relating to the soul." I won't claim to know much about the mechanics of life, but I will confidently say that you have a Soul and that your Soul knows things your ego mind can only dream of comprehending. I like to capitalize the word Soul in the same way some folks choose to capitalize words like God, Goddess, Nature or The Universe. These are the words we use to represent the divine, which is what your Soul is. Your Soul is the eternal, divi ..read more

Is faith an exclusively Christian experience? Of course not, but you'd never know it by Googling the word, especially in the context of "faith-based." But why can't a witch or a pagan or any other kind of spiritual person have a faith-based practice? Isn't our belief in magick grounds enough for such a distinction? Those are questions I aim to answer (in action!), as I move through 2023 with Faith as my word of the year. And if you, too, are working with a word or theme of the year, I've got some awesome tips to help you do that with maximum impact. You can catch those in this latest episode o ..read more

What if the worst, most disturbing thing that's ever happened to you holds the key to unlocking your own healing journey? Have you ever engaged with your pain from that perspective? Is that possibility something you might one day be willing to gently explore?  It might be worth bringing up with a trusted friend or therapist or maybe just taking up in prayer or in your next divination session.  Perhaps your pain is pointing to the place within that most needs your love?  ★ Transmuting Trauma Into An Asset... ★ TO READ : the Animal Apothecary oracle deck by ..read more

As a lifelong seeker of The Way, I feel confident in saying that there is no one way. There are many ways to peace, love and greater understanding. And oftentimes, the best way is a blend of many different ways. In fact, you may find that the way that works for you now might one day be replaced with a way that works better. You are worthy no matter which way you choose. Today's podcast guest might fairly be described as an eclectic Wayshower, and he's here with a wealth of experience and training to help guide us. ★ You Are Worthy As You Are... ★ TO READ : Worthy As You ..read more

Have you ever marveled at one of those rare individuals who seem to get so much done in a day while maintaining remarkably calm? To be honest, I haven't had the opportunity very often, because the people I know tend to be one or the other, either highly productive or super chill.  It's unusual to find both qualities in one person, and yet, if you really think about it, it makes sense that they'd go together... Maybe even that they SHOULD go together?  Briana Borten is living proof that they can, and that when they do, beautiful, intentional things occur. ★ Spiritually Rooted Wea ..read more

Human Design has been growing in popularity in recent years, and I don't think it's going to be losing trajectory anytime soon.  It's super woo, but also—for those of us who've had our charts interpreted by a pro—there is something spooky accurate and self-validating about it.  Human Design is a self-discovery system based on the time and place of your birth, combining astrology, Kabbalah, the i-Ching and the Vedic understanding of the chakras.  It's meant to help you identify your unique energy type and better strategies for living.  Will it help you manifest greater ease ..read more
