Reverence is the same as discipline:
it sets us free to finally choose what we truly want —
not just what appears readily available.
No beauty is possible if not for our courage
to cut something away
and we must now learn to cut away
that which no longer serves life.
In Reverence, we are ready.
There is an inner battle
for my attention (and yours as well).
In the name of creation,
we are tasked with killing what must die.
And also with grieving what we kill.
We all have a lot on our plates, I know.
I know. St…

"Gratitude and thanks to the west, the direction of pause, of beauty way, and the direction of all that has gone before: our memories, our ancestors, our guides." ~ Message from the Ethers

May opens with Beltane (May 1), the ancient festival of fire and fertility. This is the season of blossoming, where what was planted in darkness reaches toward the light. Passion, play, and possibility ripple through the month, reminding us that life itself is generative when we align with joy. With Tools, Li…

Approximately ten years ago, I returned home to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to native communities reeling from a rash of suicides. I remember wanting to help prevent future tragedies from occurring for our Oglala Lakota youth from a cloud of hopelessness that hung above them. After all, I, too, lost younger relatives to this seemingly senseless tragedy and had no readily available answers for them. 

Late one night, I received an emergency phone call from my distraught daughter telling me …

The morning sky is clear and blue.

Snow-draped Cedar boughs glint in the sunlight. The tires slosh as they roll over the snow-covered gravel road, breaking the serenity.

The car moves up the steep hill, but the tires can't grip and start to spin. Gathering myself, I slowly back down the hill to try again. Keeping steady momentum, I get only
slightly further on my second attempt.

Frustrated, I take a deep breath. I must consider another way into the conference centre on Cowichan Lake. Backing d…

April carries the energy of discernment, calling us to release what no longer fits. With Elementals, Discernment, and Below guiding the way, this month asks us to refine our habits, relationships, and prosperity stories, clearing space for what truly belongs.

You probably felt it. 2025 was the year of the Crossroads. It asked you to pause, reflect, and redirect.

And now, here you are in 2026, the year of Puzzlement. Not the kind that leaves you feeling scattered or stuck, but the kind that invites you to slow down, pour yourself a cup of tea, spread everything out on the table, and take a good, honest look at what is there. 

It's the year of the slow reveal. The year things begin to click, if you're willing to look. 

When it comes to building a li…

The months before writing this piece for the Almanac have felt incredibly heavy. In my own motherhood journey and in our country and the world, it has seemed not only that things were in crisis, but that they were collapsing. Past stories, systems, and patterns revealed their cracks, leaving me disoriented and searching for new footing. I returned often to the Mystics Almanac and drew cards from the Mystics Oracle Deck. Again and again, I pulled the "Fear" and the "Beneath" cards, mirrors of all…

Divination is among the highest forms of guidance, where Heaven meets Earth. Divination is a gift to be freely shared. Share your divine insights as they are much appreciated now, in a world needing encouragement.

There are vastly diverse forms of divination—thousands upon thousands, as nearly everything can be used to obtain divine guidance. I divine with the usual tools of the trade (from crystal balls to dowsing rods) as well as less common methods (everything from baked potatoes to kiss pri…

My family will gather on the evening of February 16, 2026 to close out the Year of the [Wood] Snake. My mother will cook dishes that generations prior had prepared for their celebrations, but we will also have foods that reflect our modern lives. What won’t change is the symbolism underlying our meal. She will serve a whole steamed fish to welcome abundance and emerald green bok choy and gailan to represent spring renewal. I will bring her apples for peace and a cake from my favorite patisserie …

Stop and heed, Dear Ones.

The time is here for change; great—great change. We aren't playing around anymore. We aren't waiting around anymore. We aren't dilly-dallying anymore.

You know it, too, right? 

You know that your time as an evolved soul, a bonafide mystic—a Modern Mystic and medicine man/ woman—is so that you can evoke great positive change in the consciousness of the planet. This isn't news.

Readiness, capacity, and willingness to go all the way is what's at play right now. 

We kn…
