Are you a compassion warrior, culture worker, and rebel who cares deeply about humanity; who's tired of doing all the “right things” and still getting what you’re trying to avoid; and who feels trapped between burning it all down or dying but would rather be wildly, and sacredly alive? I'm an animist and ancestral wisdom guide; ceremonialist, and empath. And I love guiding other humans who want to use their burnout and purpose anxiety as a jumping-off point to journey into their shadows and the shadows of modern society in order to de-armor their hearts; remember a deeper, wilder sense of belonging to the world; and reclaim the rich and sacred spark of their aliveness. This newsletter contains wisdom nuggets, podcast episodes, and invitations to paid and free offerings from my business. All in support of remembering a more animist and land-based culture; holding firm to our humanity in a dehumanizing world; and living with compassion, vulnerability, and reverence.
some care for you, in the wake of the election

Hello, dear ones - In the Gaelic tradition there are stories of epic battles between the Cailleach (the old woman of winter and creator of the land) and Bride (youthful goddess of summer and the love the fosters all growing things). It's part of how the ancestors of those lands were in relationship with this Spring period where the weather swings back and forth between icy snow and howling winds... and warm sun, moist soil where green shoots start appearing, and the smell of decay and new...
Hello, dear ones - Lunar New Year, Power, and Folk Traditions: Perhaps you've seen memes in more recent years reclaiming the number 13 as a number, not of bad luck, but of the divine feminine...? What these memes may not make clear is that part of the reason 13 is associated with the feminine is there are 13 moon cycles in the year, as opposed to 12 solar months.
