Free Guide: How to Work With The Celtic Reed MoonIn this episode, I'm introducing you to the Celtic Lunar Tree Calendar. With 13 trees for 13 moons, it's rooted in earth- based animistic Celtic tradition that offers a slower, simpler, more ancestral rhythm than Western astrology.

After attuning to the Moon with Western astrology for many years, I still appreciate it, but I realized it's something my grandmothers would have had no concept of.

"What would my grandmothers have done?" is a question I find myself asking a lot lately, including how they would've attuned to the Moon and their Intuition.

If Western astrology feels overwhelming, rigid, flat, or disconnected, the Tree Calendar offers a return to ancestral knowing—one that honors your inner timing, the seasons of your life, and the natural intelligence of the earth.

You’ll hear how this ancient way of tracking time transformed my spiritual practice after a life-changing pilgrimage to the British Isles, how it connects with my maternal lineage (and maybe yours too!) and why it feels more grounding, intuitive, and emotionally resonant for me than following the constantly shifting zodiac.

I'll walk you month-by-month through what I've learned since starting to follow it in July: the teachings of the Holly, Hazel, Vine, and Ivy moons, while weaving in stories of my own and my clients'—including devotion in caregiving, intuition finding you when you haven’t found it, the loving art of concealment, and the myth of limitless resilience.

I'm also introducing the next lunar cycle that starts Nov 19—the Reed Moon (the Clarity Moon)—and explaining why Winter naturally brings sharper vision, deeper dreaming, and the perfect conditions for divination.

If you’ve been craving a spiritual path that feels simpler, slower, earth-rooted, and ancestral… you will love this episode.

Press play to hear:

  • What the Celtic Lunar Tree Calendar actually is and how it developed through Celtic animist worldview

  • Why I left Western astrology as my primary lunar practice, and how I still weave astrology in gently

  • How my British Isles pilgrimage awakened my connection to my maternal lineage

  • Why the tree calendar feels like “home”—and why it resonates so deeply for modern women

  • How Holly taught devotion through a powerful client story about caregiving

  • How Hazel revealed intuition through Celtic mythology and the question, “What if you don’t access your intuition—what if your intuition accesses you?”

  • How Vine teaches truth and timing, including the story of loving concealment

  • How Ivy teaches resilience through resourcing and relationship, especially with the Unseen world

  • Why winter clarity is real, both spiritually and scientifically

  • What the Reed Moon (the Clarity Moon) is all about as we enter this next lunar cycle

  • A peek at all the upcoming trees in the remaining months of the Celtic year


This episode is an invitation to reconnect with the rhythms our grandmothers lived by.

To follow these teachings month by month, I send out weekly emails in rhythm with the current tree’s lessons—all for free.
