For weeks the phrase “sacred sorrow” has echoed in my mind. My heart aches as it remembers the pain of every time it was told to “get over it.” Move on.Stop thinking about it.Just be happy.Choose joy. They’re meant to nudge us in the “right direction” and force us to push past what we’re feeling. […]

When I travel to new places, I often like to do minimal research into the history of the place. I may look into popular sites to explore, good food to try, or things of that nature—but I’m very intentional to avoid looking into the history, especially anything paranormal. Why? As a medium, for me, it’s […]

As a medium, I’m naturally met with skepticism when I share just like the boy in The Sixth Sense that I too can see dead people. While at a client’s office Tuesday, I went about my typical routine. One of the people I work with knows that I am a medium, though I don’t share […]

Would it even truly be the Yule season if we didn’t tell some spooky stories to get the heart rate going? This one is called, “The Tale of the Terrifier.” And don’t worry, there’s no spoilers ahead for the most recent, Terrifier 3 film.  Heart pounding in my chest—I hated clowns. Their eerie makeup, frightening […]

As many of you did, I went to bed with a heavy heart, feeling deeply for those in our community who are queer, POC, women, or allies. The surge of blatant hatred towards the safety, well-being, and bodily autonomy of human beings who are anything other than white, conservative, cisgender, heterosexual, christians has skyrocketed. And […]

I am thrilled to share that my article "Recover the Older Traditions of Goddess and Nature Worship" has been published in the Autumn 2024 Edition of Witchology Magazine. My article discusses the older traditions of worship, the historical temples of Astarte, the temple of Mother Nature and a commercialized world, and methods for recovering the […]

It was opening day for the movie, A Quiet Place: Day One, and I was thrilled. I simply adore this particular franchise, and though my reason for loving the first two installments were for the use of American Sign Language and the amazing Emily Blunt, I was still excited for what this prequel would hold. […]

I used to wish everything about me was different. I used to wish my stomach was flatter, my hair was straighter, and my laugh was cuter. I used to look in the mirror and hate the other me looking back. Hatred for my physical self evolved. Now I wished my feelings weren't so strong, my […]

A must-read if you’re ready to explore ancient esoteric wisdom through a truly transformative lens... Since childhood, I loved writing and finding magickal threads amongst legends of old to connect the mundane and spiritual worlds. Everything was a metaphor—but the question was for what? When I discovered the Great Goddess, who I first met under […]

TW: pain, death. As someone who wasn’t raised in Hogwarts or magickal lands where you’re taught how to use your gifts from birth, I’ve relied heavily on trial and error in my development as a spiritual practitioner. Every once in a while, though, I have the honor of working with powerful entities to learn things […]

TW: medical treatment, death. Recently, I’ve been going through medical treatment to manage a rare disease I’ve dealt with for the majority of my life. Though I should expect it by now, I’m always surprised by when and where I’ll encounter the deceased. While sitting in a leather recliner trying to “relax” while getting my […]

TW: sexual assault. Recently, I have been committed to unwinding and healing from sexual trauma. Meditation and shadow work combined are my personal go-to for these types of situations. Immediately after entering a meditative state, the great Asmodel (or Asmodeus, though, I’ve found he doesn’t love that name), appeared before me. He extended his hand […]

My POV If you've been keeping up with my blog articles for a while now, you've probably seen me mention the strange portal in the corner of our bedroom. From my understanding, this portal has been here for ages, long before we moved into this home, and potentially even before the house itself was built […]

As time goes on, I hate staying in places that aren't my own home more and more. Though I always travel with my spiritual tools for cleansing, banishing, protection, and the like—there's something incredibly different about sleeping in a place that isn't your well-established and warded house. A recent "free" stay at a resort in […]

When I first met Astarte I had no idea how magickal all of my future encounters with her would be. As the many-named goddess of the cosmos, queen of heaven, and lady of the mysteries of the universe, it's no surprise how glorious standing before her would be—but I can assure you it's even more […]

A near-death experience in 2018 left me wary and cautious of any repeat events pertaining to my health. The events leading up to my hospitalization in 2018 were so quickly onset that I went from nearly no symptoms as I left for a holiday vacation to almost immediately returning on an emergency flight home where […]

Most people are intrigued by a good ghost story. Especially the ones that leave you wondering where the truth ends and the lies begin—and that's assuming there was ever any truth to them at all. But I'm here to tell you about a very real, true, and unexpected night I spent in a haunted hotel—well […]

For most people, haunted houses are spooky. To me, though, they're sad. They're containers for the lingering remnants of people of the past that remain haunted themselves, fearful to move on from the material realm to what's next for them. Many years ago, we found a house that had just been remodeled. Hardwood floors ran […]

For my entire life, I’ve despised attending funerals. As a child, I assumed it was because I was sad that a loved one had passed on, but as an adult, I’ve discovered that it was never about my connection to the departed, but rather it was being surrounded by the intense overwhelming emotions of everyone […]

Whether your childhood was all fond memories or a blank gap of time you know you lived through but can’t recall, it’s always curious to think back on those distant moments that occurred while our brains were still developing and our ability to process emotions and information was limited. I remember strange bits and pieces […]

For years I had worked with and studied under the goddess Astarte and knew her by many different names, symbols, and epithets. Studying her mysteries and teachings was my whole world, and despite encountering and studying many other divine beings along the way, she was ultimately who I answered to at the end of each […]

For as long as I can remember, I had what I was told growing up were “vivid dreams” stemming from a “creative mind.” But if you’re someone who dreams often, especially in a lucid state, experiences those horrific night terrors that you swear feel real, or repeatedly find yourself wandering astral realms, we might have […]

Many people’s spiritual stories start with a near-death experience. A taste of the “beyond” that can’t be explained by anything other than the acknowledgment that the spiritual realm is unlike anything we thought it was and is undeniably real. For me, my near-death experience was not the beginning, but rather one of many milestones on […]
