Though the date varies year over year, mid July generally marks both the Egyptian new year and the preceding Epagomenal Days.

The scarab beetle holds great significance, spirituality, and symbolism in ancient Egyptian culture. One of the most revered and iconic symbols in this vast civilization, the scarab represents various aspects of life, death, rebirth, and divine power.

The importance of being in a well-regulated body cannot be overstated. 

It’s really hard to be a fully functional, compassionate, and mature adult when your nervous system is dysregulated. Mindset and willpower can only go so far when your adrenals and vagus nerve are depleted or your general endocrine system is out of sync with your body’s needs.

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. 

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.

You’re not crazy for feeling a bit crazy right now + healing from extreme adrenal fatigue.

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.

Eating wild foods attunes our energy field and our DNA to the land we live on, and when done with reverence and gratitude, shows the spirits of the land that we don’t take our abundance for gratitude. It’s a way to nurture our relationship with place, open our hearts to mothering from our earth mother herself, and tend our wellbeing in physical and energetic realms.

Want to add a few wild bites to your Thanksgiving feasts this year? Here are a few simple wild foods available just about anywhere in the states:

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?

Angel anointing oils are aromatic and vibrational blends created in sacred ceremony. Direct transmissions from the angels themselves, the imbue divine light codes into anyone who works with these oils. Discover who the angels are, why you would call on them, and the aligned plant essences for each archangel.

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.

But this isn’t always the case. I've found that there's often something a bit more insidious under the surface when creators lose the desire to create…
