I coined the term psychic savior for when we give over our own knowing, our own intuition, and most importantly our own decision making, to someone we perceive as being more intuitive or psychically connected to spirit than we are. 

This is awful for anyone…but for a perfumer? Absolutely devastating. It’s been a slow recovery (that bout of covid was especially rough). Though my smell had mostly come back by mid February, I could tell that I wasn’t picking up on the subtle nuances I used to. The loss of smell has been such a strange piece of this pandemic era…A strong sense of smell has always been a mark of a healer — the ability to sniff out both the diseases and the cures. 

At the end of last year, I woke up on Christmas morning and my sense of smell was gone.

The first step in transmuting the chronic grief, rage, and suffering brought about ecological trauma is to acknowledge its existence.   

Squirrels can show us how to adapt to city life…but also how to be more in tune with our wild natures.

Are you really a modern-day mystic? As the trappings of conventional religion and new wave gurus dissolve, as we face existential threats from human activity, we must usher in a new way of communing with earth and spirit. Here are 7 signs you’re part of the new consciousness movement.

In our great arc of transformation, 2020 and 2021 were shocks to the system, radical shake ups to disrupt our old systems. The energy of 2022 woke us up to new ways of being in the world—and what’s more, it helped us begin to believe that these visions could actually manifest. The overarching energy I feel for 2023 is confrontation…but also miracles and nourishment. This is the year to embrace the inner resources available to you.

I recently saw yet another post about eating ancestral foods and working with ancestral plants on Instagram…

Eat the foods your ancestors ate. Return to the foods that enlivened your DNA throughout generations. Turn to the native plants of your ancestral lands.

This was the message.

On the one hand, I love it. This is something I teach in my Rewilding the Spirit course, having students do a bit of research and prepare a meal that their bloodline ancestors might have enjoyed.

Yet I also teach my students how to connect with their land ancestors—the local ancestors that are keepers of the land they live on now, in this lifetime. Ancestors with whom it’s equally important to partner. Here, we prepare and enjoy local, wild foods to attune our current DNA to the current land we live on.

Reading this post on ancestral foods so close to Thanksgiving here in the States got me thinking—what would an ancestral Thanksgiving meal actually look like?

Even if you’ve only dipped a toe into the wild world of spiritual practice, you’re probably hearing a lot about ancestors right now. Ancestral altars, thinning veils, and the ghosts of ancestors past. We tend to experience a heightened awareness of all-things ancestral around this time of year. Yet recent years have brought about a collective zeitgeist in our interest in ancestral healing. But who are “the ancestors” really? The answer to this question is actually much more complex that tracing back your blood lines (though of course that’s part of it). As we step through this dark portal filled with ghosts of the past, let’s dive into who the ancestors really are—and how we can begin to work with them.

Do you ever hear music that is yet to exist? Perhaps as you drift to sleep, or enter a flow state? Your not alone. And these songs are very real.

We are in a potent gateway for shadow work right now, with layers upon layers of celestial support for our integration.

Beginning with our transit into Scorpio on October 22nd, and continuing into a 2-week eclipse window from October 25th to November 8th, you’re invited to illuminate and integrate any shadows that are preventing you from stepping into your full authenticity, wholeness, and power.

Let’s take a look at some key dates and themes…

What does it mean when you don't want to do anything? When nothing sounds fun, you've lost touch with previous passions, and the things that used to bring you joy no longer have the same effect?

Modern psychology would tell us that these are clear signs of depression. And sometimes, that is what's happening.

Summer Solstice, Litha, Midsummer, or whatever your word of choice, is celebrated in many wonderful ways throughout the world, including dancing around bonfires, seasonal feasts, visiting sacred wells and waters, and leaving offerings for the fae. I’ll be dipping my toes into all of the above this solstice, as well as a few new activities I encourage you to try…

The spirits of nature are always around us. You’ve probably sensed their presence on occasion. A tingling in your spine. A breeze that you just knew had a message for you.

All it takes is a heartfelt intention, patience, and practice. Here are five steps to get started.

Why working the elements, the fae, and other spirits of the land is the key to making magic and miracles happen.

When it comes to the gods and goddesses of Greek mythology, everyone is sleeping with everyone. Almost. Three goddesses remain untouched—these are the virgin goddesses. But what does virginity really mean? Sovereignty. It means knowing who you really are and being so full within that all of your being is effortlessly free. See how you can embody the qualities of these goddess in your own life…
