You know how sometimes, when you’re working on a big project that’s launching next week, you gotta take a break to stream with a friend? And then you become so excited about creativity and friendship and the Siskos that you have to hold your emotional support scallion? Yeah me too 🧅🖖

🌝 AWOO! How y'all feeling after the first of two full moons in weirdo Aquarius?! I love these vibes. This moon's self-portrait was done on an index card in sharpie. It's part of my project, where I've made a self-portrait under every full moon since January 1, 2018. AND of course, I did a reading with the -- Energy: Two of Bows - Decision RX. Advice: Knight of Arrows - Hawk. Additional insight from holy helpers: Five of Stones - Endurance.

🔥 The energy of this full moon is depicted by one of my favorite cards from the Wildwood: flaming no-pants man! I love this card for depicting the boldness of choosing to live your truth, which can really ostracize you. Being ahead of the curve isn't easy. Following your own unique path isn't easy. And yet it is SO easy -- because when we allow ourselves to choose the YES thrumming in our hearts, suddenly we find blockages and obstacles and heavy weights falling away from us. The constraints of pants trouble us no more! Yeah! F**K pants! Grow a beard and climb a mountain so you can feel your cloak flapping in the breeze and the bright beautiful inner fire that blazes forth when you're aligned with your true spirit. 🔥

But -- how do we do this? How do we get to the top of the mountain without doing grievous harm to ourselves or others? How do we live our glorious, pantsless truth? Hawk swoops in to remind us that discernment and vision are key. Being able to see some kind of big picture helps us remember WHY we are doing what we do, thus hopefully preventing us from getting tangled in dangerous distraction. We must be discerning and clear away that which holds us back and clogs our clarity of vision and purpose. We're talking about a long-term, life-long purpose here, not instant gratification at the expense of the greater wellbeing like some kind of exploitative billionaire je***ff. 🪐🔥

And so our holy helpers caution -- patience. The path up the mountain requires periods of rest and recuperation. You might have freed yourself from the constraints of pants, but you've still got a ways to go before you're that glorious mountain man. When storms threaten all around, it is wise to take shelter and keep yourself warm and dry. Saturn's influence in this full moon brings a distinct flavor of discipline and restraint to the air. Lightning may be good for the fertile soil, but it can kill if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or at the very least, set your hair on fire (before you're ready). So cast off those metaphorical pants which constrain you, YES, make moves toward the top of that mountain, YES -- but know when to retreat into a warm cave and tend the fire. Endure. I want you to make it to the top of your mountain: whatever goal that might be. Remember that goals are only means to help you achieve the real purpose, which is living well, which is expressing your unique gifts in the world. You are part of a collective. You are part of a loving, living whole. We need you. So banish pants that don't fit -- but make sure you don't freeze to death, please.

It’s been STORMY in Salem lately. I’m sequestered in my studio working on something new so I’m FEELIN the Frankenstein mood⚡️The stormy weather has been good for writing and brainstorming and getting ink on myself and drinking tea, tea, tea. This new Thing is something I’ve never done before, and not something I’ve seen being offered elsewhere — but it’s something I myself need, and I can’t wait to share it with you all. ⛈ Today I’m continuing to write, write, write and tea, tea, tea. I want you to know how deeply, wordlessly grateful I am to every one of you. Not just for being here in my world but for being here in THE world at all. It’s hard being in the world. OF COURSE there is so very much that makes it worthwhile: little birds having a dust bath, kitties’ meows, the miracles of plant medicine, the unfettered laughter of a loved one, the laughter of Robin Williams in outtakes from Sesame Street. Those have been getting me THROUGH it. And of course the pattering of rain on window panes, the thrill of lightning spiraling across the sky, and the effervescent joy of spotting a rainbow. 🌈 What are the things that have made you pause in appreciation and joy lately? Please share! I wanna hear!

with the 🔮 Energy: Knight of Bows - Fox 🦊 Advice: 10 The Wheel 🎡 NEW MOON IN CRAB CAKE!! There is a certain lightness to this new moon, at least compared to the Cancer new moons of the last few years. Saturn no longer opposes the good crab, so we are encouraged to look around and see where the wheel has spun us in those years. 🦀 Where do you find yourself? Center your presence in the here and now. Allow the natural world around you to be felt, seen, heard, smelt, and tasted if you're into herbalism, gardening, or licking rocks. 👅🌿 There is certainly a lot of work to be done, and I am not asking you to abandon it, but I am asking you to pause and be present. There is an air of adventure, a calling drawing us out of our shells and dens — even if it's just for a peek. 👁 Let yourself be illuminated. Let your life be illuminated. Let the world be illuminated. There is ugliness and beauty and love, love, love. There is a lot to be angry about. There is a lot to be thankful for. What are these precious things? What needs to be washed away? What's left, glimmering and gasping, after the bath? under the rock? inside the shell? Let them cycle in and out of view. Let yourself be seen if it feels right and see, sense what you can. The circles go round and round and we're going up and down. Where are you now? Where do you want to be? Take a look. Call it out. I believe in you!

JUPITER has joined the retrograaaaade! For the next 3 months or so, Jupiter will be retrograde first in Pisces and then Aquarius, alongside also-retrograde Saturn. I’m looking at the for guidance. The underlying theme of this transit is brought to us by the 8 of Swords: Mole, who tunnels up from the dark earth to find a wild storm brewing. Challenges, clashes of earth and sky, and the urge to find our way through the darkness mark the next few months. 🌩 For the immediate situation, we are shown the Hanged Man: card of Neptune, the dreamy obfuscating planet who shares rulership of Pisces with Jupiter. HMM AND HUM! A dreamy, upside-down time is at hand indeed. To move through this time, we are shown the 9 of Wands RX: Ram, also upside-down, calls us to nevertheless persist. To find the way even when it seems impossible, like climbing up a sheet rock face: something the sure-footed fellow can do with apparent ease, you know. I feel the power of the Ram asking us to reconnect with passion. What big ideas, dreams, and/or causes light you up? Get you off the floor? Move something in your heart? Find that spark. Fan it. Ground it. It will help you get through the storms that rage above and around and within us on a global scale. 🌩 Take this time also to scan for old, inflamed wounds. This may be a good time to recognize and reveal pain which you’ve been carrying — and exorcise it, transform it, ideally in a healthy way that’s in right relationship with yourself, the wound, the medicine, and those who’ve got your back. Because healing goes best when done in careful caring community. I love you. You’re welcome here. I know we got each other’s backs! ☔️

Holy bear caves Batman - we’re in it now. Hold on. Find your inner sanctuary, your cave, your heart-depths and the truth that’s protected there. You’re strong enough. You’re bright enough. The land holds you. Your body holds you. Your ancestors hold you - is not the vessel of your body made from them? And you hold yourself. How do you so hold? What parts of yourself are you hiding, and why? 🌓 These are questions I’ve been handling this week. How about you? What refrains are bouncing around your sphere these days? Make time for them as best you can. Rest or move the body as you see fit alongside those questions. It’s a good time to lay in the grass, gaze at the clouds, and wonder. Wander the landscapes that unfold when you engage whatever keeps coming up. It’s vital you do so 🐻

with the - 10 of Fire RX and Explorer of Fire plus jumper card The Emperor. Today’s cards ask: What do you do with the ashes of the forest fires of your life? What do you do when the world is on fire? Where do you go from burnout? The answers offered here come to me as the image of a bird’s nest, wee eggs nestled therein, built in a fallen tree. We move our bodies to the best of our ability in the moment. We dance, even if lying down. I’m a BIG proponent of wiggling around on the floor. We carve out the faces of our allies, totems, identity markers, protectors onto the scarred wood. May we be blessed by their presence, invited in by our own hands and bodies in the ways we are called to move. May we see what the next step is, and the next after that, and the next after that, even if it seems like we cannot see the whole picture. We work to give in the ways that are accessible to us. We respect the sovereignty of all other beings and cultivate our own. We explore, try new things and ways of being, doing, having, asking, saying no, saying yes. We dream of the healed world. We work and play with each other. We acknowledge our rage and take care of it instead of trying to bury, ignore, or dismiss it. We simply do the best we can right now. I believe in you! Haht DOWAG! Keep going! Keep dancing! 🔥 P.S. I have 2 open spots for readings this weekend — if you need guidance right now, DM me or click the link in my bio. I’ve got you.

[Link in bio] The Supermoon in Scorpio is coming. It’s intense. It’s asking us: what’s coming up for you now? What old wounds are acting up, and how might they be soothed? What is ready to be seen by you, felt by you? Much that has been kept in darkness is coming up into the light and must be dealt with, one way or another. There is room for nurturance and care. There has to be. This energy is unstoppable. Change is inevitable. We can look at this, be with it, face the inevitability of change, and let it was over us and through us. Cleanse, ground, bloom away again. It’s the circle of life/death/life. 🌀 I’m performing a ritual to offer support for the emergence of springtime revelations — that which has been present but hidden or unacknowledged. There are 10 spots available and 2 options to participate: personalized report or general report. You can read more and secure a spot via the link in my bio. 🕊 This Supermoon is gonna be a DOOZY! Wherever you are, whatever’s coming up for you right now, I’m sending you love. 💙

All hail the land where you live and its many creatures and spirits, seen and unseen. 🍃 The power and medicine of a good relationship with the land where you live cannot be understated. The land holds so much. Here in Salem it is soaked in the blood of colonization and genocide — and at Dead Horse Beach, well, let’s just say New England isn’t known for its creative place names. Paying attention to my relationship with the land has been a major source of mutual healing and helping during the past year of staying home. I’m thankful to have a bone in which to stay. I’m leaving that autocorrect 🦴🏠 and continuing to ground myself in daily dialogue and presence with place. I wish you and yours the same blessing 🐛🏝🌙
