How Do Autumn Rituals Help Us?
In harmony with the rhythm of Autumn, a season of release, harvest, and gathering essential resources, the Metal element of Daoism (also known as Taoism) and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) guides us to let go of what no longer serves us. Associated with the lungs and its paired organ, the large intestine, Metal helps release perfectionism and grief, and excess and waste through breath, tears, and the skin.
WHAT ARE SIGILS?
Traditionally speaking, sigils are a form of magick that holds the energy that is accessed through a specific intent and ritual. Sigils are often created by combining letters, symbols, shapes into an abstract design that is charged with energy of the desire. Common purposes include protection, peace in a home, recovery and healing, success on a project, and so forth.
COVEN VALUES
The HOMING COVEN launched earlier this month. The flow has felt natural, tender, and the momentum is very real. We chat and choose as a circle; during the live-stream, the boards to ensure folks tuning in via the recordings are still very much considered and held; the various channels that are developing on Homing Coven's Discord have also been both lighthearted and practical, giving glimpses of the power of co-resourcing.
YEAR OF THE WATER RABBIT FORECASTS (2023)
Sooner or later, as we grow older, we eventually come to appreciate that no news is good news. As we near the end of the Water Tiger year, and prepare to welcome (with relief) the Water Rabbit, we can finally find a quiet spot in the corner, experience reprieve, and reimagine what life can be like.
JANUARY 2023: AN EXIT OF THE TIGER AND THE ENTRANCE OF THE RABBIT
The beauty of the new year is defiant against the harsh realities, and for now, may the beauty swallows us whole.
ABOUT SPIRIT COMMUNICATION
We start off with one question / area of exploration, though that doesn’t mean you only receive one message from the spirit guides. The one question is simply to get the ball rolling, and as with the spokes of a wheel, this first spoke connects to the greater wheel, and integrates many other concerns as well. Oftentimes the wheel of your life is too grand, overwhelming, or even distracting to take in at once, and hence the first question functions as the catalyst to facilitate the movement of energy from serving the spirit to fulfilling the spirit.
Two Of The Greatest Lies
Perhaps two of the greatest lies are these: That you are born alone and you die alone.
WRITING WITH SPIRIT Winter Retreat
The WRITING WITH SPIRIT RETREAT welcomes an intimate group of 13 attendees to explore the intersection of writing and the supernatural by unwrapping the words that are already contained within and to call them forth with clarity and boldness. We’ll discuss supportive writing techniques, powerful esoteric tools, and will be actively collaborating with our intuition and the Great Mystery. Open to anyone who is needing space, desires a heightened embodiment, and a safe container to focus on their inner (and outer) work.
The Animal In Your Heart
Do you know the animal that lives in your heart? Is it the fun-loving Monkey? The ethics-minded Horse? The serene Snake?
An Online Retreat on Ancient Chinese Divination and Chinese Astrology
If you've been studying with me in the Mystery Mentorship, particularly in the Wood + Metal Module, you'll know that a critique I have about the "new age" communities that most practices done in the West are still coming from that extractive theme of objectifying rather subjectifying. Whether it's the studying of Tarot, tea leaf reading, dream work or even astrology, the main objective is "what's in it for me / tell me what I need to know / how I do manifest the life that I want". Put it another way, learning esoteric practices, accessing ancient wisdom is not meant to function as your genie. It is not meant to be, nor can it ever truly be, colonized. The Unseen, the Great Mystery were around far before any of us arrived on the scene.
BROKENNESS: AN ANCIENT PERSPECTIVE
A Yin line according to the I Ching is visually represented by two dashes. — — Oftentimes, it's referred to as a broken line or a yielding line.
To compare that to a Yang line that is visually represented. ___It's a solid line that does not have space as an interruption.
