By The Manifesting Medium, aka Your Favorite Chaos-Conquering Boss Witch

How many times do we actually stop mid-breakdown and ask ourselves:
"Wait… is this a manifestation in progress… or am I just an emotional roller coaster and spiritually confused right now?"

Let’s be real.

Most of the time, we don’t pause.

We don’t intuitively check the energy of the chaos.
We don’t ask:

🌪 "Is this falling apart so my manifestation can fall together?"
🔮 "Is this happening for me, not to me?"
🧹 "What sacred mess is being cleared out so something better can land?"
👁️‍🗨️ "What the hell am I not seeing yet?"

Nope.
We get swept right up in the current of the currant (yes, I did see what I did there—thank you for noticing).

We let the emotions of the “I-hate-this-and-I-want-to-panic” moment drive the damn car.

We let the version of ourselves that’s addicted to comfort, allergic to uncertainty, and totally unqualified to lead take the wheel.

And the part of us that actually knows how to manifes...

If you’ve been in the manifestation space for a while, you’ve probably heard the phrase “Be impeccable with your word”—one of the Four Agreements from Don Miguel Ruiz.

But let’s get real.

What does that actually mean?

And more importantly, why is it so damn hard for some of us to implement?

If you’re naturally skeptical, negative, or just deeply stubborn (hi, it’s me!), then changing your language doesn’t come easy.

Do you ever catch yourself saying things like:

• Food is so expensive.

• I hate my job.

• Traffic sucks.

• I always get crappy service.

• I don’t like people.

• I’m just not good at saving money.

• I can’t lose weight no matter what I do.

• I never get what I want.

• That’s just my luck.

Sound familiar?

We all have these default phrases we repeat daily, and we don’t even question them.

But here’s the problem:

 Every time you say it, you reinforce it.

Not just in your mind, but in your reality.

Your words act like a command to the universe. ...

You cannot create lasting transformation or abundance without mastering your emotional landscape.

Your emotions shape your energy, and your energy shapes your reality.

Without taking charge of your feelings, they will dictate your experience, limiting your ability to align with what you truly desire.

Emotional mastery is not about suppression—it’s about recognizing, honoring, and channeling your emotions to work with you, not against you.

Only through this intentional harmony can you build a foundation for enduring manifestation and profound change.

Emotions are powerful forces—energetic, physical, and spiritual. Yet, many of us avoid them, suppress them, or worse, shame ourselves for feeling them.

What happens when we do this?

Those emotions don’t vanish.

They grow, fester, and eventually hijack our energy, affecting everything from our relationships to our finances and ability to manifest.

When you avoid emotions, you create resistance in your energy field.

Life's journey is often tumultuous, with unexpected storms and challenging moments that can knock us off our feet.

Yet, it's during these times of adversity that our ability to manifest and stay aligned with our desires becomes even more crucial.

As someone who has weathered their fair share of storms, I can attest to the power of maintaining a manifestation mindset even in the face of life's toughest trials.

In the past couple of years, I've endured profound losses, heartbreaks, and moments of intense fear and stress. From the passing of beloved family members to frightening accidents involving my son, and significant changes in my familial relationships, I've traversed through what felt like an endless series of hardships. It's in these moments of darkness that I am always reminded of the transformative potential of shadow work.

Shadow work, often overlooked in the realm of personal development, is a powerful practice that involves delving into the depths of our subconscious mind...

Dear Magickal Community,

As we stand on the threshold of the year's end, I reflect on the journey we've navigated together.

It's been a year of profound revelations, a dance with the shadows, a journey through grief, and an awakening to the potency of our collective magic.

In this transformative space, I've witnessed your bold steps into the realm of manifestation, where intentions collided with actions, and dreams converged with reality.

Together, we've unraveled the threads of the mundane to weave the extraordinary tapestry of our existence.

For many, this was a year of confronting discomfort, a courageous exploration of the shadows within.

We dared to release what no longer served us, creating space for the seeds of transformation to take root.

The alchemy of healing unfolded, unlocking new realms of possibility.

But transformation is no passive spectacle; it's an active engagement with life's currents.

I encourage you to carry this momentum into the coming year — to step b...

Ever been caught in the crossfire of what your heart wants, and what your logical mind says?

Here's the way out.

We've all been there—caught in the crossfire of conflicting desires.

On one side, your heart yearns for something, whether it's a dream job, a loving relationship, or a daring adventure. On the other side, your logical mind chimes in with doubts, fears, and practical considerations. It can be a battle of epic proportions, leaving you feeling stuck and torn.

So, how can you navigate this internal tug-of-war and find a way out?
Let's explore some strategies to help you harmonize your heart's desires with your logical mind.

1. Understand the Roles of Your Heart and Mind

To find balance, it's essential to understand the roles of your heart and your logical mind. Your heart is the seat of your emotions, passions, and intuition. It guides you toward what brings you joy and fulfillment. On the other hand, your logical mind is responsible for analyzing situations, assessi...

As you begin to learn more about your shadow self,  and you start to release limitations, patterns, fears, and old binds, you become more empowered.
You set more boundaries.
You start to experience more abundance.
You learn about self-mastery.
You start to live intentionally, intuitively, and you begin to consciously create your world, while others around you are sticking to what they’ve always known/done. Whether they are happy doing it or not. 

And if you go on to be a healer, intuitive, or magic maker of any kind, you start to pay more attention to what’s going on in the unseen world. You follow the energy while others follow the news, the collective, or what’s been conditioned in them. 

You become the proverbial black sheep. 

Healers can feel like they suddenly become a mismatch with many of the people and situations around them. 

You shake the foundation of the family/group dynamic.
It triggers things within other people.
We take those reactions that people have...

The Path of The Raven
An Animal Spirit & Archetype to work with for Shadow Work & Shadow Mastery

Healing, Clearing, Awareness, & Empowerment…shape shifting. 

 Shapeshifting and Creation are two key energies of Raven Medicine. 

And that is exactly what begins to happen as you learn to integrate and master your shadow. 

You are literally shape shifting into something else, and through that shift, you begin to create an entirely new reality. 

First the work happens energetically and in the Akash. 

Then you start to experience all sorts of synchronicities happening in your physical and spiritual worlds.
You will find people changing their responses and their behaviors towards you.
Abundance starts to drop into your life, while other things start to drop out.

You become this “new” person.
You release yourself from trauma and limitations.
You walk away from patterns of abuse or conditioning.
You begin to see which relationships are no longer contributing to your growth.
You leave situat...

THE SACRED PAUSE
Shadow Work Tool #8.

Something I encourage all.the.time.

The Sacred Pause will change your life. In many ways.

Want to know how to listen to your intuition more?
How to make decisions that keep you in alignment more?
How to show up as the most soul aligned version of self?
How to engage in conflict in an empowered way?
How to step into self mastery and control your emotions? 

TAKE A SACRED PAUSE. 
All the time. Take as many of these as you need. This is your permission slip to give yourself just a moment. (What I really want to say here is, "give yourself just a damn second for crying out loud!") 

And how do we do that?
How do we suddenly make this kind of space for ourselves when we've not done so before? 

Simple. (Yet, sometimes mindfulness is not so simple, because we are human and we sometimes forget!) 
Create a grounding technique. A tool or process that gives you just a second to breath, to tap in energetically and intuitively, and to think things through.

Don't be afraid t...

Shadow Work & Witchcraft aren’t going to cure your depression.
But it will help you understand it, sit with it, prepare for it, alchemize it, manifest with it. 

All the tools in your healing tool kit may not ever really “cure” it.
Manifesting, having all the money, time, and resources in the world also won’t make depression or anxiety magically go away for good.

You see, while we are spirit and soul, we are also humans, here to have human experiences. 

That means we cycle through the emotional wheel. We have ups and downs.

Sometimes it’s love and light, sometimes it’s rage and sadness.  

I turned my life around. I manifested a wonderful relationship, friends,community,  self-confidence, travels, investments, a business I love, money, weight loss, self-love, and more. I am pretty damn good at manifesting when I put my mind to it, if I do say so. 

I went from being miserable in every aspect of life, to manifesting all the things I really truly desired. It was a pretty magical...
