Welcome to It’s Giving Mystical with Kirsten... In this week’s episode (for the week of July 4th), we’re exploring the potent energy of the King of Wands and the ways July is testing, tempering, and expanding who you believe yourself to be.

🔥 What you’ll discover in this episode:

• How July’s astrological currents (including the Uranian transit) are shaking up your sense of identity and breaking old, limiting armor.

• Why this week’s King of Wands energy invites you to feel yourself fully, stretch into new spaces, and trust your growing power.

• The importance of community and how the people you surround yourself with can mirror and amplify your evolution.

• The surprising lesson of a mouse rescue—don’t underestimate your presence or the quiet power you carry.

• How our July Siren investigation in Mystic Rising calls you to embody feminine strength that shakes things up as an invitation to depth.

🌟 Whether you’re feeling uncertain about your next step or ready to break free from old patterns, this episode offers powerful reflections to help you own your new shape, move boldly into new opportunities, and meet life’s challenges with courage and joy.

Hello, beautiful beings!

Welcome to your long-form July episode of It’s Giving Mystical. This month, we dive deep into the potent, paradoxical energies of the Chariot (VII) and the Tower (XVI) — both rooted in the mystical number seven of this Hermit year.

✨ Chariot energy brings mastery, self-assurance, and the feeling of being powerfully aligned with your purpose.
⚡ Tower energy invites radical transformation, helping you break free from old structures and outdated armor that keep you small.

In this episode, I unpack:

• Why July asks you to release the tight armor you’ve outgrown and reclaim your spaciousness.

• How the Chariot’s confidence meets the Tower’s liberation — a dance of victory and surrender.

• The themes of illumination, truth, and deep integrity arising this month.

• A sign-by-sign tarot + shamanic oracle reading to help you navigate your personal terrain.

We also explore how this energy connects with our current work in Mystic Rising on the Siren archetype, inviting you to stand in your magnetic feminine power.

🌿 Feeling the call to expand into your purpose? I share an invitation to join Shaman School, starting this August — a powerful 18-month journey to awaken your medicine and live your soul’s truth.

This episode is your compass for July — come sit with the paradox, laugh at the contradictions, and find your next layer of freedom.

In this special episode of "It's Giving Mystical", Kirsten sits down with her brilliant cousin Madi Murphy—founder of Cosmic Rx and Cosmic Rx Radio—to explore a deeply personal and transformative journey through Shaman School.

Madi shares how a series of synchronicities led her to Stephen Feely’s Pampamesayok Shaman School, where she began a profound initiation into shamanic energy medicine. Together, Kirsten and Madi discuss how walking the medicine wheel changed their lives, the power of ancestral healing, and how this lineage taught them to reclaim lost parts of themselves—and call forward their highest destinies.

They reflect on:
✨ The magic of soul and destiny retrieval
✨ The importance of ritual, ceremony, and community
✨ Healing the wounds of the past and stepping fully into your purpose
✨ The lineage of earthkeepers and how Shaman School grounds you into your medicine
✨ Their experiences with teacher Stephen Feely, a lineage holder of the Four Winds tradition
✨ The gift of the allyu—sacred community forged through shared initiation
✨ How to trust the signs when spirit is calling you into deeper work

If you’ve been craving more clarity, connection, or a deeper relationship with yourself and the earth, this episode is a luminous invitation.

Madi and Kirsten’s conversation is both tender and electric, weaving stories of magic, healing, and courage—and offering a glimpse into the sacred power of Shaman School.

This week, we’re dancing in the dreamscape of the Seven of Cups and soaking in the intuitive waters of the Cancer New Moon... a time of deep feeling, quiet revelation, and shimmering possibility.

✨ What do you truly desire and who within you is doing the desiring?
✨ Are your longings led by your essence or by old stories of lack?
✨ Can you hold the mystery without rushing to define it?

Kirsten invites you into an exploration of desire as both a compass and a teacher. We explore emotional shapeshifting, the illusions of worldly success, and the sacred tension between emptiness and fullness.

Inside:
🌙 A Cancer New Moon reminder that you deserve to feel safe, held, and at home in your life
🌊 Why the Seven of Cups is both a portal and a warning
🕯️ The difference between chasing desire from emptiness and choosing it from embodied wholeness
🌀 How to trust your personal ache as a holy path—and let comparison dissolve

This is a week to daydream with devotion. To watch the sands shift and listen to what your emotions are whispering. Let this episode remind you that your art, your longings, and your path are uniquely sacred and becoming clearer the more you trust yourself to walk them.

🔮 July brings Chariot + Tower energies... but first, rest.

Fill your well.

Let yourself want, without needing.

Wonder, without grasping.

You are not behind. You are becoming.

Listen in, breathe deep, and share with a soul who needs the reminder.

Hello mystics! This week’s episode is an invitation to stand at the edge of your own becoming and take stock of both your blessings and your longings.

We’re working with the Two of Wands... a card of worldly success, budding ambition, and the nuanced shift between outer validation and inner fulfillment. It’s the moment right before the Three of Wands, a powerful portal where you begin to ask: What truly satisfies me?

We also prepare for the potent Cancer New Moon (June 25/26), which arrives hand-in-hand with Jupiter in Cancer, bringing a beautiful surge of growth, healing, and possibility to the parts of you longing to feel more nourished, seen, and safe.

In this episode, we explore:

• What it means to receive a win (and allow yourself to enjoy it)

• The deeper dimensions of wealth: health, community, intimacy, and meaning

• The gifts and blind spots of ambition and visibility

• How to work with this new moon portal to call in what’s truly missing—and needed

Let this episode be a gentle but honest check-in. What part of you feels richly supported? What part feels impoverished or left behind? And how can you seed a new intention this week that honors it all?

Your ship is coming in. May you have the eyes to see it, the heart to receive it, and the courage to enjoy it fully.

🌀 Tune in and tap into the magic.

This week on It’s Giving Mystical, Kirsten is joined by her dear friend and fellow medicine keeper, Nina Mongendre—teacher, healer, family constellations guide, and now author of the powerful new book Reclaiming Your Inner Child. 🌿✨

Together, they explore the winding, sacred journey of healing the inner child—what it really means to retrieve the lost pieces of your soul, the importance of honoring your myth, and how shamanic energy medicine changed both their lives.

In this heart-opening conversation, Kirsten and Nina talk about:

• The origins and magic of the Healing the Inner Child oracle deck 🕊️

• The 12 initiations in Nina’s new book and how they guide you into deeper wholeness

• Their shared path through shamanic energy medicine and what it means to walk the wheel

• Why inner child work is essential, not optional, for anyone seeking joy, freedom, and belonging

• The beauty of remembering we are never alone—carried always by the trees, the stones, and the field that holds it all

• What it means to truly dream a new world into being

• How spirituality becomes real in the kitchen, the parenting moment, the quiet walk with a stone in your pocket

Kirsten also shares about her own shamanic journey—what it revealed, what it required, and how it continues to nourish her life and work in surprising ways.

This episode is a love letter to the soul, a gentle invitation to slow down and remember what’s already within you: the map, the myth, the magic.

Even with a few audio bumps near the end (ahhh technology), this episode holds so much richness, depth, and devotion. May it inspire your next step.

Welcome back to It’s Giving Mystical ... your sacred space for weekly tarot wisdom and cosmic calibration.

This week (June 13), we ride the waves of a potent Sagittarius Full Moon and dive deep into the energy of the Nine of Wands the card of the wounded warrior. This episode explores:
✨ Where are you gripping too tightly?
✨ What parts of your armor are outdated, dented, or too heavy to carry?
✨ How can you soften into safety and let life seduce you?

We talk truth-telling, cord cutting, and the invitation to stop rehearsing for a battle that’s not coming. With the Sagittarius fire and a current of spiritual momentum, you're being asked to evolve your inner systems... to shift from defense to devotion.

This episode is especially for anyone:
🔹 On the verge of personal evolution
🔹 Wanting to release old stories and energetic entanglements
🔹 Learning to balance their lover and warrior archetypes

🌀 Mentioned:

• Full Moon Ritual ideas

This week’s energy is not for the faint of heart—but it is for the bold-hearted truth-teller in all of us. We’re moving from the illumination of the Sun into the electricity of the Tower, and that shift can feel like lightning: abrupt, honest, wild, and liberating.

In this episode, Kirsten reflects on:

• The bright clarity of the Sun: what came to light last week, and how truth often stings before it heals

• The power of secrets and what happens when we begin to stop editing our lives to make others more comfortable

• Tower energy as Kundalini rising: what happens when more energy floods the system than it’s used to holding

• A personal story of memory, betrayal, and the sacred act of bringing shadow into the light

• Why this week is a call to slow down, regulate, and let your nervous system catch up to your soul

We explore the difference between building a life and growing one, and how the Tower reminds us to return to the roots, to what’s alive and real, even when it means letting the walls fall.

🌞 + 🌩 = transformation.

Plus, a preview of upcoming episodes with two beloved mystics, Madi and Nina, as they share what the shamanic path has offered them—and what Shaman School might offer you.

✨ Take this episode as an invitation to check in with your body, your truth, and your timing.

🪨 Let what crumbles… crumble. There’s more light and life on the other side.

🎧 Listen in if you’re navigating:

• A major personal truth surfacing

• The collapse of an old story, relationship, or identity

• A call to deepen your honesty, slow your pace, and expand your capacity

• A longing to live more freely, brightly, and truly

Welcome back, mystics. This month, we return to our roots with a deep dive into the Lovers card and the number 6 in numerology... and how this sacred current of connection, choice, and eros is threaded with the Devil card’s shadowed mirror.

We explore:

• The archetypal union of the Lovers and the Devil

• The numerological energy of June in a Hermit (9) year

• The soul-level longing for both freedom and union

• The gaze, the binding, and the myths we unconsciously serve

• How love, desire, devotion, and choice shape your becoming

And yes- as promised- I pull a tarot and animal spirit card for each of the 12 zodiac signs to help you feel into your personal medicine for the month ahead.

☀️ It’s not about getting it perfect. It’s about getting honest.
💫 What do you love? What do you serve? What are you choosing now?

Ready to go deeper with the Lover archetype?
