December Quantum Creativity Transmission

Highlights

Your creative genius, your Wild Creative Self is the part of you that exists in the wild quantum field and is not conditioned or limited by the systems and constructs of the dominant paradigm. Your Wild Creative Self cannot be contained by any system. And your Wild Creative Self is whispering to you, calling to you, howling to you, roaring to you all the time. And one way you might notice that your Wild Creative Self is calling to you is that you have a yearning.

Maybe you have a tangible yearning to write a book or to make a podcast or to paint a masterpiece, or any number of possibilities—whatever it is that's specific to you. It could also just be a yearning for a certain kind of feeling in your life, a certain kind of liberation, a certain kind of time freedom. Your Wild Creative Self often communicates to you through your yearning.

And you'll notice that the parts of you that are programmed and conditioned by dominant culture are often the parts of you that resist this yearning, saying, “Well, that's a nice dream and all, but it’s just not possible for me.” Those parts of you will say your yearning isn’t practical or reasonable—or it just doesn't make sense.

This month is an invitation to do more things that don’t “make sense”.

What is something that is nonsense that you haven’t been letting yourself do, but which is actually accessible in the here and now?

So you can't drop everything and start a whole new life or not have any bills or not have to live in a way that fully liberates you from capitalistic constructs.

But what is a small action you can take toward the ultimate vision you have for your life?

There are parts of you that have been programmed and conditioned to stay small and safe. To make sense to people. To be logical. To be linear. And when these parts of you feel visions and invitations from the Wild Creative Self come in, they resist, insisting, “Well, that's just not possible”—and those parts shut down the entire vision.

So the quantum creativity invitation of this Moon energy this month is to feel into what parts of that vision you can do right now without tearing your whole life apart. So maybe you can't drop everything, go live in a hut in the woods, and read and write and paint all day. But you can take one personal day a month and spend that day doing all those things.

So: what are the nonsensical things you can do that are accessible in the here and now?

You are being invited to invite more nonsense into your life this December, to experiment and play with things and activities that don't have a guaranteed outcome. To listen to that call from your Wild Creative Self—and answer the call in any small way you can.

The dreams that call to you, maybe from the future, maybe through quantum time—sometimes feel too big to hold. The vision often feels SO wildly different from your current reality that your conditioned self literally can’t fathom how to get there. For most of us, a dramatic quantum leap from maybe our more rigid, conditioned realities to fully liberated and creatively expressed realities is, in many cases, too big of an ask. A way to sort of bridge between those two realities is to make much smaller leaps. If the journey from your current reality to the reality of your dreams feels utterly impossible, find the very small thing in that vision that does feel possible right now—and do that.

Once you have acclimated to your new reality that contains this tiny piece of your ultimate vision, find the next piece of the vision that feels accessible in the current moment. Integrate that, acclimate to that—and repeat the process.

It is with these small, incremental actions that your reality will expand to meet your dreams and visions. Over time, you may notice too that your window of tolerance for the unknown and your capacity for trusting your Wild Creative Self also expand the more you decondition. And you’ll notice that with practice and experience, you’ll be able to take bigger and bigger leaps.

But start small.

Start with a little nonsense.

See where it leads you, and have fun…

Nonsense Vision Quest

Set aside 30 minutes when you know you won’t be interrupted. Put on some music. Make yourself a nice cup of tea (or serve up your bevvie of choice) and put on some comfy clothes. Get out your journal.

Prepare your space in any way that feels supportive. Ideas: Light a candle, burn sacred herbs, pull a tarot or oracle card, call in your spirit guides.

Set the intention that this half hour is sacred.

(This means no phone, no social media, no internet!)

Set a timer for 30 minutes, and when the timer begins, your sacred container is activated. Invite your wild creative self into this space to commune with you.

You have entered a quantum field where time is nonlinear and infinite realities exist at once.

In this space, free write in your journal the nonsense vision you receive from your wild creative self. Just write it all down stream of consciousness style, without editing or second-guessing yourself. Let myself go absolutely wild and just let it all out. Dream big. Be as outrageous and absurd and nonsensical as you dare.

Remember, there are NO limitations in this quantum space.

Here are some prompts…

* Imagine there are absolutely no limitations on what kind of life you could live, almost as if you're writing fiction.

* What would be the coolest kind of world to live in? What would the lives of everybody look like in that world?

* If you were a god and you could create a world specifically suited to your desires, how the days in that world flow? What that world would look like?

* The one and only prerequisite: this is your idea of an ultimate reality.

Once your 30 minutes is up, re-read your nonsense vision. It’s going to feel utterly unattainable—good.

Now, pick something small from that vision that is actually doable in your here and now. An activity or action or new habit that

just doesn't make sensejust doesn't have an end goaljust have a clear notion of where it's going to lead

This is a new activity or way of being that you have no “sensical” reason to do. The kind of thing you’ll have no logical explanation to your parents or whoever to help them understand why you’re doing this, or make it make sense to them. You won’t have the easy “excuse” of “so I can get a promotion at my job”, or “so I can put it on my resume”.

The more nonsensical, the better, especially if it’s relatively accessible in your current day-to-day life. Your reason for doing this thing is just that…you want to. It's part of your ultimate dream. It's a piece of your vision that you get to live right now. And just practice doing things that don’t “make sense. You're just to do some more nonsense this month. Do more things just because you want to. Just because they’re fun. Just because they’re interesting. Just because. You don't need a “good reason”—other than the very good reason that these activities bring you joy and pleasure and delight.

Some ideas of nonsense activities

* write the book you’ve always wanted to read

* go for a walk somewhere you’ve never been

* paint a small picture a day

* start an art junk journal

* make a collage

* take a nap

* wander through a museum

* watch reality tv

* sleep in

* get a hotel room and pretend to be a tourist in your own town

* talk to a flower

* read a book on a weird topic that has always fascinated you

* make up your own language

* take a class on a topic you’re obsessed with, even (especially) if you have no clue how you will “use” it

But truly, only YOU are the expert of your own nonsense vision. Pursue the nonsense that is meaningful to you.

A Tarot Spread for Embodying Nonsense

Who am I? What am I doing here?

Today on The Glitch Witch podcast, I'm hitting rewind—and taking you back to the very beginning.

Over the next few weeks, I'm going to tell you the story of my weird witchy unfolding. 

I am a storyteller, a mythmaker at heart. I've been mythmaking my life for as long as I can remember. And the mythology of my life's story begins with a bolt of lightning.

CARD: “Page of Wands” DECK: Tarot of the Holy Spectrum, Infinity Edition

Hello, my fellow weirdos! Welcome to the November Energy Transmission.

Before we continue, I invite you to take a deep breath.

S l o w inhale, taking breath all the way into your pelvis.

S l o w e r exhale, releasing the breath until your lungs are completely empty.

Place a hand on your heart. Take more slow, conscious breaths if you need them.

I am sending you so much love. From my heart to your heart.

November Energy Transmission

Release the myth of “not ready.” Release the story of “not yet.” From your perspective, you will never feel “ready”. It will never feel like the “perfect time.”

There is just now. Will you claim your power now? Will you claim your authority now?

Now is a time of great initiation—and many of you are being initiated. You feel as though you are walking through fire—hold fast. The fire is cleansing. The fire is transformative. The fire is alchemical. You are being prepared for the times ahead.

When you feel as though you’ll be lost in the fire, devoured and dissolved by it, locate your roots. Get grounded. Sit on the earth. Touch your body. Remember you are real. Find your physicality.

The element of earth is a POWERFUL ally for these fiery times.

SALT is especially potent as a grounding element. Salt baths. Salt caves. Gargle with salt water. Breathe salt into your lungs. Sit with salt. Feel its charging and neutralizing effect on your field. Salt will help you relocate the fires of your own heart when you feel as though you’ll be obliterated by the fires of the whole world.

And you must locate the fires of your heart. Your passions, your gifts, your magic, your desires. These fires, specific to you, are uniquely entrusted to you in order to serve this planet. (And remember: YOU are part of this planet. ANY serving MUST ALSO serve YOU.)

Pleasure is rebellion. Fun is rebellion. Delight is rebellion. Joy is rebellion. Art is rebellion.

There are ways you’re being called to show up in service to this world that incorporate and celebrate these things, rather than reject them.

Remember: “A New World” REQUIRES creation. If you are only seeing what must be destroyed, you are only seeing part of the picture. What must be rebuilt, reimagined—and what is your role in that? How are you specifically here as an emissary of the gods to participate in the creation of something NEW?

If you are attracted to THIS SPACE there is a HIGH probability that a large part of your role on this planet is reality creation.

What are you here to create? How are you here to contribute to the creation of a new reality? A reality beyond war, beyond subjugation, beyond domination, exploitation, control?

It may feel selfish to consider these things but it is NOT. It is crucial. The planet is in DIRE NEED of people brave enough to put their imaginations to work.

What do you imagine?

What kind of world can you imagine?

What feels TOO GOOD to be true?

IMAGINE IT.

And then, in whatever ways are accessible to you, LIVE what you imagine.

Again: this is not selfish. This does not mean turning a blind eye to the suffering in the world.

If you are here, if you are attracted to this space, there is a HIGH PROBABILITY that you are a highly sensitive being. You are acutely aware of and attuned to the suffering of the world.

Feel your grief. Make space for your pain. But don’t allow it to crush you, to dissolve you, to silence and stifle you.

You must transmute your emotion into reality creation. YOU ARE HERE to help breathe and dream and create and build a new world into being.

There are systems that MUST crumble—and they are.

But what then? What happens when the whole world is rubble?

The planet needs your imagination. The planet cries out for your dreams.

These ARE NOT frivolous.

Imagination and dreams quite literally make the world.

For too long, we have been living in a world created from the imagination and dreams of people with limited vision.

Your vision is limitless. You MUST allow yourself to indulge your limitless imagination. The world depends on it.

This is not frivolous. This is not a waste of time. WASTE MORE TIME. This is rebellion. Indulge your vision. You must.

Salt. Stones. Soil. Plants. Trees.

The element of earth wishes to support you at this time. When you’re struggling to hear your heart through all the noise—call on earth as your ally.

Hold a stone in your palm. Take a flower essence or herbal tincture. Sit in a salt bath. Place a bowl of salt beneath your bed. Breathe in salt particles to clear your lungs, your throat, and your energy field.

Your heart is a KEY in these trying times. Get into your heart. What unfathomable possibilities does your heart whisper to you? Not just “good enough”—we’re talking the stuff of your wildest dreams. For yourself and the collective?

What joy do you crave? What visions do you have? What does your heart whisper to you about imagination?

Listen. Allow your heart to lead.

A Card Spread to Catalyze Active Imagining

If you do this spread, I’d love to see your results! Feel free to share on social media or message me to let me know what’s coming up—only if you desire!

Remember, you can use tarot, oracle, or other kinds of cards. Alternatively, you actually don’t even need to use a deck at all (if you don’t have one or don’t work with cards.) You can simply sit down with your journal and use these questions as prompts! Trust what comes up. Your intuition is your greatest teacher.

Card: “The Fountain” Deck: The Fountain Tarot

Hello, my fellow weirdos! Welcome to the October Energy Transmission.

Channeled October Energy Transmission ~Cliff Notes~

This month we’re really being invited to get weird.

This time of year, whether you’re in the Northern Hemisphere (summer dissolves into fall) or the Southern Hemisphere (spring emerges from winter) they say “the veil is thin.”

I believe it’s always thin, but we’re just more poignantly aware of it because of the stark contrasts between life and death.

We sense the paradox of these two polarities merging, the quantum potential alive in this transition.

A “dormant plant” is not actually dead. It’s dormant. It’s sleeping. It’s dreaming.

You’re being invited into the imaginal realm. The primordial waters between life and death. The liminal space where the physical reality touches unseen dimensions.

The Fountain—from which all life emerges and into which all life eventually dissolves.

Submerge. Dream. Imagine. Into…

The fertile void.

The quantum realm.

Alternate dimensions.

Invisible worlds.

You are invited to…

Play beyond limits.

Dream beyond what’s real.

Make weird art. Dream weird dreams. Think weird thoughts. Do weird s**t.

“The earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God* was hovering over the waters.”

—Genesis 1:2

*the All That Is

ALL THAT IS emerges from the cosmic void.

What emergent life awaits you in the dreamtime?

This isn’t for me to tell you.

Let the void teach you.

Invitations from the Imaginal

This month, in lieu of a card spread, I’m sharing some ideas for submerging in the playspace of the Dreamtime.

Photo by Alexander Andrews on Unsplash

* Explore dream magic. Some ideas:

* Whisper into a glass of water that you’d like to remember your dreams. You might like to repeat this a few times, while stirring/swirling the water. Drink the water—it will help you remember. In the morning, write down any dreams you remember before you fully wake up.

* If you’d like to dream something specific (an answer to a problem, a fresh creative idea, a new perspective on something happening in your life) write out your dream intention before going to bed. As you’re drifting off to sleep, repeat your intention while tapping your body. Upon waking, write down any dreams you remember. Throughout the day, spend time considering how this relates to your intention.

* You might also like to try dreaming just for fun! Set an intention to dream a ~fun~ dream. To see something cool, visit a strange location, meet nonhuman beings. Write down any dreams you remember. Don’t try to analyze them. Just enjoy them.

* Turn one of your dreams into a poem or a short fiction story. Have fun with it. Let it be weird. Don’t try to make it make sense.

* Close your eyes. What do you see in the darkness behind your eyelids?

* Plant your toes in the soil. Let the earth speak to you. What does she/he/they want you to know?

* Take a walk in nature. “Listen” with your whole body, all your senses, not just your ears. What do you “hear”? Write it down when you get home.

* Do a past-life regression meditation. I like this one from Mary Grisey.

* Listen to binaural beats or a sound bath recording and draw or paint or make some other kind of art.

* Do a shamanic drumming journey + soul retrieval, either guided or self-facilitated.

* Receive an energy healing session.

* Start an art journal.

* Try channeled writing or channeled drawing.

* Do a salt float. Or meditate in a salt cave. (SIDE NOTE: My guides have been coming in STRONG lately, telling me the immense benefits of SALT at this time. It’s really really really good replenishment for your whole system, but especially your subtle/energy bodies.)

* Visit the ocean or other body of water with a journal. Listen to the sounds of the waves or the currents. Write down the words that come as you listen.

Glitch with Me

I’m currently apprenticing myself in two different types of readings: Akashic Records and Psychic Blueprints. Part of this “self-apprenticeship” involves offering these services at “training wheels” pricing—a concept I learned about from the awesome Heather Mann!

After facilitating 30 readings throughout the month of September, my trust in these modalities—and my ability to consistently and reliably access profound information for my clients!—has grown immeasurably. I have advanced to the next “training wheels” tier.

This October, you can receive a reading from me in two formats and pricepoints:

* EMAIL AUDIO | $35

* VIRTUAL LIVE (Zoom), 30 minutes | $60

This month I plan to refine the offerings even more and by November these will settle into their “final” (FOR NOW, ANYWAY!) form and price point—which will be higher than these practice-price rates.

These readings have been really lighting me up to do and REALLY timeline shifting and transformative for the clients as well.

Now is your chance to receive a powerful reading at a VERY accessible price point.

Upgrade to a Paid Subscription, aka Join the Inner Portal!

For the last couple months, I’ve been facilitating short 1-2 hour workshops. If you’re someone who’d like to learn from me, these are a great low-pressure (and cost-effective!) way to do so!

Each month (for the most part, giving myself space to take a month off if it’s needed!) I’ll be guiding a workshop sharing my unique perspective on different facets of creativity, magic, mysticism, witchcraft and more. You’ll be able to join these workshops at the drop-in rate of $20—but if you know you’d like to come to more than one, then a paid Portals & Prisms membership is the way to go!

You can become a paid member for either $5 a month, or $36 for the year (paid in full, making it $3 a month.) And with that paid membership, you’ll receive access to the monthly workshop for no additional charge.

PLUS you’ll receive access to all the paid-subscriber-only transmissions, including the two bonus P&P broadcasts: Rainbow Transmissions and Temple of Heresy.

Become an Inner Portal member of Portals & Prisms to receive free workshops and other bonus goodies.

Card: Creator of Tomes (aka Queen of Wands) Deck: The Numinous Tarot

Hello, my fellow weirdos and welcome to the September Energy Transmission.

You’ll notice I’ve tweaked the name a bit—I used to call these the monthly “creativity” transmissions but my understanding of creativity has become so broad, so undefinable, so prismatic that the word itself pales in comparison to what I’m actually talking about, what we’re actually working with.

Because what’s really moving through us when we’re creative is our life force energy. And so I desire to open up the conversation, to reimagine what’s possible when we engage intentionally with our lives.

The card I pulled for September is the Creator of Tomes—aka the Queen of Wands. But this is why I love having so many different tarot decks (and why I’m a hopeless hopeful collector, lol.) Every artist engages with the archetypes and energies from their unique perspective, and their art always opens up something fresh and new in the cards for me. Some nuanced understanding, some new dimension of meaning.

This month is no different.

September’s energy brings an invitation to be the storyteller of your life.

What story are you telling?

What is your story?

And are you living it?

In This Issue You’ll Find

* The September energy transmission audio

Channeled September Energy Transmission

You are the teller of your own story. Not just the “author”—you see, once something is written and “authored” it becomes “past tense.” It becomes more “preserved”. More “permanent”. You are the author of your own story but more importantly:

You are the storyteller of your life.

A spoken story is a living, breathing entity. A spoken story is altered slightly with every telling. A spoken story shifts with time, shaped by the mood of the teller and the influence of the surroundings and the needs of the listeners. A spoken story evolves and morphs. A spoken story is meant only for the ears that are listening.

Your story is never “written”. Once it is “written”, the ending is known. The trajectory is determined.

Right now what is very important to remember: the story of your life is the story you tell yourself.

The story you tell yourself is the life you live.

You get to decide: do you like the story you are telling? Do you delight in the story you are living?

Remember: your life is a living, breathing entity. Nothing is set in stone.

When you come up against the inevitabilities of your circumstances, do you accept your trajectory as unalterable? Do you tell yourself stories like “this is just who I am” or “this is just how things are”?

Nothing is written.

Nothing is determined, beyond what you’ve decided is true.

We do not wish to imply that telling yourself a new story is easy.

We do not wish to imply that you can control every random happening in your life (you exist in a living, breathing world, after all, with many different stories being told and lived.)

We do not even wish to imply you have control.

We would simply direct your attention to the stories you are telling yourself about your life. The stories you are believing about yourself. And the stories you are telling yourself about what’s even possible for your life.

You cannot control anything. But you have so much more power than you realize.

You may be wondering: “But how do I know which stories I am telling myself?”

You may even say something like, “I am not telling myself any story. I am just living my life.”

Everyone is telling stories—consciously or unconsciously.

Every life is a living, breathing story being told.

If you do not know what stories you are telling, look to your thoughts. Look to your beliefs. Look to your choices. Look to your actions.

These will reveal the stories you are telling, for they shape the stories you are living.

You do not have “control” but you have many, many choices. You are not at the mercy of an endless stream of inevitabilities. You can ride the current, direct the flow.

Now is a time for great intentionality.

You are not at the mercy of the stories other people tell themselves about who they think you are and what they believe you are capable of. You are not at the mercy of who you’ve been in the past or even the stories you have told up to now.

You are the storyteller of your life.

Look at your life. Look at the story you’ve been telling.

Is it the story you really want to tell?

Is it the story you believe in—in your heart of hearts?

Is there any part of this story that saddens you, that disappoints you?

If the possibilities of your story were limitless (they are!) what story would you tell about your life?

Whisper it to yourself.

Write it down.

Remember—do not limit yourself in this exercise. Be bold. Be audacious. This is just an exercise of your imagination and you are just playing the part of the storyteller.

So go on: what is the wildest story you can tell?

You don’t even have to believe it yet. You don’t even have to live it yet.

Just play. Imagine.

“If there were no limits, what is the story I most desire to live?”

Tell yourself that new story.

Even if it’s outrageous.

Especially if it’s outrageous!

Tell it all (remembering too that a story is a living, breathing entity and that even as you tell this new story, you are allowed and encouraged to change any part of it at any time.)

When you have told this new story, examine it from all angles. Where are the parts you have the hardest time believing? Where are the parts you feel are most impossible?

Underline, circle, BOLD these parts.

This is where your journey lies.

To become the person who can think these things. To become the person who can believe these things. To become the person who can make these choices. To become the person who can take these actions.

You see, just by telling the story, you are already beginning to LIVE the story.

You are so much more powerful than you know. Tell yourself the truest, most earnest, most honest story you can.

And then LIVE it.

Card Spread for the Tending Your Story

* How can I best meet these challenges?

* What new story do I long to tell?

* How am I being supported in telling this story?

My fourth episode of The Glitch Witch podcast—a conversation with the mystical and magical Rebecca Padgett!—is now live! You can listen on your favorite podcast app or on my website.

Glitch with Me

I’m currently apprenticing myself in two different types of readings: Akashic Records and Psychic Blueprints. Part of this “self-apprenticeship” involves offering these services at “training wheels” pricing—a concept I learned about from the awesome Heather Mann!

To begin I am offering these readings for $20—priced for PRACTICE! My goal is to do a TON and hone my skills, deepen my experience, and refine these offerings. Eventually, they’ll be priced higher to reflect my experience and the quality of the work.

These initial readings very low touch—for $20 you ask a question and schedule a time for me to do the reading. I will do your reading at the scheduled time, but these are NOT live meetings. I will send your readings via audio notes in Instagram DMs.

As I gain experience, refine my skills, and deepen my trust in my ability to navigate these fields with confidence, I will increase the price until I finally establish the offering and settle at the final price.

I’ve been doing so many of these (already almost 20 people have booked!!) and I am ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT and feeling very energized. I am getting close to the amount I wanted to do at this tier before increasing to the next level…

So now it the time to POUNCE!

In the fourth episode of The Glitch Witch podcast, I sit down for a conversation with the wonderful Rebecca Padgett—all about the word WEIRD.

What it is to CLAIM the word weird and wear it proudly...yet also the wound of "weird". Why does it feel so painful to be called "weird" by others, even if it's a badge we wear proudly? In this gorgeous and meandering conversation, Rebecca and I talk about what it is to walk the weird path.

The Fool card from Tarot of the Holy Spectrum, Infinity Edition

Yeah, I said it and I’ll go ahead and say it again for good measure.

Imposter syndrome is not an unavoidable, inevitable experience for creators.

Saying that, though, I don’t mean we haven’t all experienced it. I certainly have. I’m sure you have.

But I’m proposing that it does not have to be a given.

This morning I woke with these words HOT in my system, burning to get out, and I recorded them for you. Please listen to this transmission when you have space—I think it might blow your mind.

If you’ve been following along on my Instagram, you know that The Fool’s Portal, my six-week rewilding creativity circle, is currently OPEN for enrollment. With each sign-up my heart BURSTS with excitement over what this space wants to be, and I’m dreaming of the ripple effect it will have.

In your life. In mine. We are dreaming up a new generation of wild creatives, of artists in their full autonomy and sovereignty and power.

The Fool’s Portal is not a place for concrete “answers.” I cannot and will not tell you “what to do” as an artist.

Instead, I WILL ask you to deeply, irrevocably, unapologetically listen to, trust, and honor your own creative impulses.

And often, this work BEGINS with where you are suppressing them.The Fool’s Portal is an initiation. It is a mystical space, a magical space, a space for dancing with mystery and wonder.In The Fool’s Portal, we will look to our wise elder nature and our ancient mentor the cosmos.

There are two cohorts available:

* Evening Cohort - Thursday nights, May 18-June 22 7:30 pm-9:30 pm ET

* Daytime Cohort - Friday midday, May 19-June 23 1:00 pm- 3:00 pm ET
