Guys- I’m so sorry if your review of our book The Business of Woo was taken down over the weekend and you’re unable to repost it. Unfortunately, Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing costumer support did not help me understand why this is happening or how to fix it, even though you were all verified purchases— and even shared photos! And I’m unable to escalate it or do anything else on my end as the author.

I know you spent your hard earned money on my book and took precious time out of your day to share a thoughtful review, and for that I am very grateful. Nothing can take that away from us!

What’s more: Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing is, apparently, famous for doing this to other indie authors, and doesn’t offer much in the way of issue resolution or troubleshooting. So please don’t stress about it! I’m focused on moving forward, and am HOPING that Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing will take a look and do the right thing here, especially because they make money off of every one of my book sales.

Appreciate you all!

What’s your Practitioner Archetype?

Our new book, The Business of Woo: Thriving In Your Psychic Business (Without Losing Your Mind Or Selling Your Soul!), helps readers figure this very question out with a fun self-assessment we stress-tested (with great results) in our TOTEM Spiritual Transformation Coaching and Business of Woo Mentoring programs.

What are your dominant psychic abilities, otherwise known as the clairs? What are your most dominant chakras, as seen through the lens of mystical Kabbalah? And how do these attributes build up into your rough order of magnitude practitioner personality?

The feedback on this section of the book has been astonishing, with folks even using it as a Harry Potter-esque “Sorting Hat” to “create a player” and understand just how special they really are!

Remember those Choose Your Own Adventure books? Yah, it’s like that, except in real life.

Check out our new book on Amazon and Etsy- it’s in hard cover and Kindle formats!

Early reviews of The Business of Woo: Thriving In Your Psychic Business (Without Losing Your Mind Or Selling Your Soul!) are coming in and they’re making me a little misty!

Thank you everyone to taking the time to share detailed, helpful and honest reviews of our *new* book on Amazon! It helps increase our chances of being found by would-be readers by 270%…and it makes me all soft and warm and fuzzy on the inside!

And, if you haven’t shared your review just yet, please consider taking a moment to do so! In the absence of a publisher or PR team or budget, your honest reviews make a HUGE difference for my self-published Woo-based business field guide!

So glad so many folks are finding real value feom@the pages of The Business of Woo- it makes all the hard work more than worth it!

Oh! And, if you haven’t purchased the hard cover or Kindle version just yet, take a moment to read through the reviews to see if it just might be a good fit in your library!

The most important part of my new book, The Business of Woo: Thriving In Your Psychic Business (Without Losing Your Mind Or Selling Your Soul!)?

The Acknowledgments.

Last year, a bomb went off in my life. And, while I’m still dealing with it— and paying for it!— I’m finally able to lock back in and get stuff done…and I don’t think I would be “here” without the help of all of the generous, thoughtful folks that supported me when I needed it the most.

While a book may seem like a very singular, individual effort, the bottom line is that I would have never gotten this particular time done without the village of folks listed in the acknowledgments section.

I look forward to the day when I can be generous with all of you in kind, but in the interim: at least your name will literally live in the pages of my first book!

The Business of Woo is available for sale on Amazon in both hard cover and Kindle formats. I hope you all enjoy it and get some real value from its pages!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!

Our new book, The Business of Woo: Thriving In Your Psychic Business (Without Losing Your Mind Or Selling Your Soul!) has been out for a week as a part of our early *soft launch*, and it’s already ranked #32 in self-employment titles on Amazon!

This book was a true labor of love (and other, complex emotions) and came out of one of the hardest and darkest times in my life. Writing it served as a crucial reminder of why I do what I do- and why it matters to do it right and encourage others to do the same.

The old word is dying. The new world is waiting to be born. We have a window to seize the means of spiritual production, escape the corporate labyrinth, and serve humanity while making an honest (and fulfilling) living.

A huge THANK YOU to all who purchased our self-published “how to” field manual for all things Woo-based business- and especially those that take a moment to leave an honest review and/or rating. Early reviews and ratings are THE factor in Amazon’s algorithm, determining whether or not we’ll be seen in search results- or gets lost to the dust bin of publishing history.

Link to purchase is in stories and bio. Podcast episodes and livestreams with other wonderful folks are coming in the weeks ahead, shedding light on the details and explaining why YOU should get in the game NOW!

Vulture visit right outside my front door this evening!

Vultures are totems associated with the sun and the fire element, eating up and transmuting death and decay to make our world habitable and safe from plague.

The Lakota Sioux say that they lost their head feathers pushing the sun away from earth, ultimately sacrificing vanity to save humanity.

They’ve been on our house, porch and in our yard all afternoon an evening, meaning this isn’t a subtle visit. Something about “the old world dying and the new world waiting to be born”, for sure.

So much change lately. So much hard, arduous work. But, soon, rebirth- and a new sun on the horizon.
