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...

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...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

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,...

Whenever there is something you want to change- a belief, your mindset, patterns, behaviors, toxic relationships, abundance levels- whatever it may be, that can be a very daunting task.

We start with a nice jump start of motivation, and then programming, life, and the mundane get in the way, and we find ourselves right back in our old pattern/mindset/habit/lack. 

Then we often add a shadow layer to that by adding on shame for not changing the thing. For not being different than you were two days ago.

I have found the key ingredient that helps me to keep the manifesting/intention train moving anytime I want to change a pattern or a belief.

I first start with calling in and manifesting the MOTIVATION to change the thing. I call in the sacred self-discipline.
Because let’s face it, nobody can make these changes for us. 

No one can complete our manifestations for us. 

Change requires discipline- but I am not always a huge fan of that word. It reminds...

 The word manifest, or law of attraction methods have been thrown around the spiritual and metaphysical community often. 

But there is something that is missing in much of this teaching. 

Without the missing tools, you may even feel more shame than abundance when using methods like the law of attraction. 

I’ve seen some spiritual teachers even tell you to write down your affirmations 55 times five days a week…. And trust me I’ve tried ALL THE THINGS.  

Let's be real here; If you are missing the boat on the mindset work, writing your affirmations down 55 times a day is just going to leave you feeling like crap. Your mind and thoughts are going to counteract your affirmations with every word you write. 

Then you start thinking something is wrong with you, or that manifesting won’t work for you. 

And that’s simply not true. And I’d hate for you to give up on...

MANIFESTING TIP #4:  THE POWER OF WRITING YOUR REALITY

I just went through some sh**, so you may want to listen up for this one.
This is also one of my top go-to manifesting activities. 

REALITY WRITING

A few years ago, as I was learning ALL the things about manifesting, I discovered a lot of outward activity you can do to support your manifesting. 

Reality Writing was one of my favorite manifesting activities, because it also covered the mindset work- which is Manifesting Ingredient NUMBER ONE. 

My version of reality writing is to write down everything I desire to experience as an “I AM” statement, and as “THIS IS DONE.” 

On any given day you will find statements like the following in my reality writing journal:

Everything works in my favor no matter what.
I get treated like a VIP everywhere I go.
People love to upgrade me and treat me well, and they enjoy having me around.  

I’ve been writing these two...
