Getting to the Root of Healing with Tarot
I created a new tarot spread to help track the root cause of illness, injury, blockage, or other physical or energetic unbalance. Many people have reached a point where they’re ready to do more than just treat the symptoms of health issues. They’re ready to look at the base cause(s) and work on healing from…
Learning to Journey for Self-Healing
Introduction My first contact with shamanism was in 1992 in a college course called ‘Magic and Religion’ (definitely the coolest thing about my school). The class examined indigenous and Western shamanic history and practices as well as some aspects of the occult movement and modern witchcraft. I didn’t pick up my shamanic studies again until…
Healing and Transformation Through Dismemberment
From my journal: 12/19/23, Waxing Half Moon; approx 1-year anniversary of initiation. Just before the last new moon, I started working on clearing out the mental and emotional stuff weighing me down.

From my journal: 10/3/23 3 pm, waning gibbous moon.…
How to Heal Acute Illnesses or Injuries with Reiki
Can Reiki Heal Acute Injuries or Illnesses? The short answer is yes. But I and most other Reiki providers would add a caveat: as long as the injury or illness is or has been treated by a medical professional.

Godzilla: A Changing Metaphor for Climate Change Catastrophe
Godzilla, or Gojira, which is his original Japanese name, has always been a metaphor for the power of the Earth. He was first and most frequently a depiction of nuclear disaster come to life. In 2023, Minus 1 Gojira’s iconic atomic breath is depicted as a literal nuclear blast complete with a mushroom cloud. He…
