October Oracle Reading [2024]
Stand your ground. Own it. There is merit in fluidity, beauty in being able to flow as the river does, but there is also bravery in being immovable. There are times in life when the best way for you to move forwards, is for you to not move an inch. For you to have no reaction to the words of that person; for you to continue to say no, as family, friends, the world, push you to say yes. For you to say “This is my feeling, my thought, my need today, and I unapologetically support it, as much as if I had…

The Art of Being Yourself
There is a phenomenon that will occur in your life, it will descend on you unexpectedly and repeatedly. You’ll wake up one day and make a discovery. An insight so profound and yet so glaringly obvious that you’re unsure if you really have not noticed it before. It’s familiar, even if you cannot place it. Staring in your bathroom mirror, you’ll suddenly have the clearest vision you’ve ever had of yourself. And what you’ll see is this: A person who has arrived at this point in their life, utterly unconsciously. A person who has moved on an undercurrent of external…

Stop Begging
I recently had an experience with a child who passionately wanted something. He asked me once and I gave my answer, which was a yes, or a maybe, or a later, but definitely not a no. What matters most isn’t my exact answer, but what came after it. There followed, from said child, an onslaught of re-asking about why, when, how. His quest for details, for concrete and measurable information, was relentless. The rapid fire felt close to blowing a circuit in my mind. Being harangued to detail an event which mattered less to me than the present moment, was…

September Oracle Reading [2024]
Before you reach for that new thing, release the old. Let go of the things and the people that you believe are keeping you solid and upright, because you know it’s really fear at the heart of that grip. The things you want to attain are not difficult. What’s difficult is trying to attain them while holding onto what else is in your hands. The marriage you wanted to leave, even as you walked down the aisle, the group of friends unified only by alcohol and a suppressed dissatisfaction with life, the job that lowers the standards you vowed to uphold as…

August Oracle Reading 2024
Even though you’ve been taught one way to: think, behave, feel, or respond, don’t be afraid to rewrite the rules. If the thought of change enters your head, it means you’re supposed to at least explore the possibility. It’s a subtle calling. History is made by those who step out of line. And even if you think you’re not trying to change history, it will still happen. It will change for the you of the future, your lineage, your body, your community. Here is your permission, to take what you have been given: the strategies, the techniques, the job,…

Loiter
Loiter, my friend loiter. Allow motion to have its wicked way around you, any way it so pleases as you hang out inconspicuous and free. The moon in its shared bed of stars and dark is proficient at curving this way and that complete at all times. Luna, my friend is a hussy of the most formidable sort overcome nightly by all manner of wet and cumulus cloud.

July Oracle Reading 2024
Trust yourself and the standards you have set. There are going to be times, more of them, when all around you is a flutter, stormy, battered by waves. Set your bar firmly, and move only when it is not met. Their destiny is not your own, their feelings and reasons, are not your own. If your goal, is to be swayed by the crowd, part of both some named and unnameable fear, then by all means kneel at the feet of the collective. If, on the other hand, sovereignty is your goal, and you desire a truth discernible through the…

We Need To Talk About Energy
We discuss energy a lot in the metaphysical community. We want to know the effect of planetary transits or current media agendas. There’s curiosity over whether we’re all having the same experience, and if the outcome will be collective or individual. We question what new waves of lessons and turmoil may be entering or exiting our field and the best way to get grounded or reconnect to the frequency of our purpose. Change is something we’re sensitive to, whether it is ours or not, and we desire resonant answers about what it all means. With this, it can be surprisingly…

June Oracle Reading 2024
Do not forget why you are here. Amidst the roles you must play and the tasks you must perform, do not forget that fire within you, and what makes it burn brighter. Even in the moments, when consumed by disappointment, confusion, or missing motivation, do not forget why you are here. It will be enough, to help fight the temporary state in which you find yourself. And if you do not know why you are here, value your life enough to find out.

We Are All A Collection Of Short Stories
we are all a collection of short stories made to look whole one fluid, linear, looping tale. within each story no chapters only worlds self sufficient enough to undo whatever follows or precedes. we are all a collection of short stories and, loved ones people will borrow needed passages recognised sentences, will see mirrored parts of themselves born alone travelled still. let them take it makes room for all you will take, too. the parts are independent must have autonomy from and for the other. we are all a collection of short stories the only way, to survive a life…

A History Of Exhaustion
Think about the tiredness you’re currently feeling. Tiredness in any form: mental, physical, emotional, spiritual. Think about how it might change, if something new were to exacerbate it. If a misfortune, challenging and weighty, were to bear down like the proverbial straw on one’s back. Now, let’s say you prevail, you enter restoration mode. Perhaps this involves a movie, shopping, reclining in a mid-morning bath. Your recovery routine is practical and satisfying; relief floods your system allowing you to emerge refreshed, ready for the future. Until the next thing happens. Then, how do you feel? Does the…

Night Sky
Meditative, I bid the universe, show me something beautiful. I needed nothing else, and so I gifted free reign to an experience of wonder. Show me, something beautiful. Immediately, night sky. I, standing level with it, penthouse view. Lights shining beneath, far, wide. Yellow, red, in windows, towers, streets. A galaxy of lives. My guides, they said, “This is what we see, this is the view we have. When you’re down beneath, thinking your problems are huge, confused about your next move, whether to leave a light [emotion, feeling, thought, action] on or turn it off, we’re…

Separating Love & Acceptance
I was speaking with a friend about love. I don’t remember the exact context, or how the conversation began, but it had roots in love being the peak experience of life, of it being what helps to turn the world most harmoniously on its axis. We noted that the love must be unconditional, and then we stopped, because what does this even mean? We use the phrase all the time within relationships, but which of us has stopped to really define our own individual understanding? When we talk about love, the type that arrives with conditions and the type…

May Oracle Reading [2024]
Delegate your need to be accepted. Throw it out the door, to be received by someone who is good at catching and loving the things you no longer require. Give away your need to do and say the right thing, and let it be nurtured by another who, is in love with the ego and all efforts required to maintain it. Make space, and lift the weight of what is expected from you – that thing that is expected before you have even decided what is right for you. Focus on what is in front of you, discard everything behind…

April Oracle Reading [2024]
Dragonflies appeared in my meditation this month, a symbol of transformation. The message is that transformation is available at every turn, every juncture in your life. If you spend your days waiting for tiny gifts, small mercies or offerings to appease a doubtful or broken soul, nothing bigger will fit onto the stage you have set. Don’t look to change, look to transform. Don’t look to grow, look to break through. Don’t look to survive, look to live. To live in the most glorious and unimaginable way possible. Because you have probably imagined it, at least once in your life.

March Oracle Reading [2024]
One thing this month. One thing. If there is one thing you must do, failing all else and without negotiation or exception, what is it? What is it you choose to improve, to fix, clear, make or be? One thing. What requires your commitment through beginning, middle and end – requires embedding or finessing? Don’t play small. Don’t pick something that will slightly improve your life. Play big. Big change is born from subtle moves, too. It’s day one. Decide. Tell a single person. Tell me. Follow through.
