Hello, Besties! 🌿✨

Welcome to another week on It’s Giving Mystical!

This week, we stand at the threshold of the Spring Equinox, the moment of perfect balance between light and dark—a reminder that everything is constantly shifting, growing, becoming. How are you honoring this moment? Do you feel the call to welcome the light? Or to give thanks to the void from which we emerge?

As the world stirs with new energy, the Hanged Man arrives as our card for the week, urging us to pause, shift our perspective, and release assumptions about what we think we know. What if the path ahead is wider, wilder, and more miraculous than you’ve imagined? What if your certainty is actually limiting your possibilities?

In this episode, we explore:
✨ The wisdom of the Equinox—growth, transformation, and honoring what is
✨ The Hanged Man as a sacred pause before metamorphosis
✨ Breaking free from assumptions and opening to unseen forces
✨ The power of the present moment and trusting the next right step
✨ How leaning back (or forward!) can reveal where we’re holding fear, urgency, or trust

Plus, I’m sharing updates on Mystic Rising, my new community, and the Shaman School—two powerful spaces for deepening your mystical path and stepping fully into your light.

This week, check yourself: Where are you making assumptions? Where are you resisting the unknown? The Universe is whispering: Hold my beer. Watch what I can do.

Listen now and open your heart to the mystery. 💫

Welcome to It’s Giving Mystical! This week, we are diving into the energetics of leaning in and leaning back, unwinding the deep-seated belief that our worth is tied to what we produce.

• The intensity of March and how to navigate it with humor and awareness

• Retrograde energies and the invitation to notice where you feel compelled to lean in versus lean back

• The unraveling of the collective wound around worthiness, productivity, and performance

• The Seven of Pentacles and its message of patience, gestation, and trusting the unseen

• How to attune to your body’s signals and align with your true desires

• Full Moon reflections and an empowering meditation to release what no longer serves you

• The upcoming astrological shifts, including Mercury retrograde, Neptune’s transition into Aries, and the Pisces-Virgo nodal axis change

• The magic of the unknown—how embracing "I don’t know" can transform fear into wonder

The seven of pentacles is reminding us that something is taking shape in the material world, even if we can’t see it yet. Just like planting seeds in a garden, growth requires patience and trust. Don’t rush decisions. Allow things to ripen. Your manifestations are unfolding in divine timing.

• Where in my life do I feel the pull to lean in and where am I invited to lean back?

• What narratives about productivity and worthiness am I ready to release?

• How can I surrender to the unknown with curiosity rather than fear?

• What seeds am I planting now, and how can I nurture them with patience?

Welcome to this week’s episode of It's Giving Mystical!

As we fully step into March, we embrace the vibrant, creative energy of The Empress, an archetype of abundance, creation, and the turning of potential into reality. We explore how this feminine force interacts with the energy of The Hangman, inviting us to shift perspectives, and how both play into the lessons of the Five of Wands—a call to challenge, play, and movement.

We also dive into momentum, trajectory, and how our daily habits shape the future we are creating. How does fire and transformation interact with the need for fluidity and adaptability? And how can we hold challenges more lightly, allowing for movement rather than rigidity? Tune in for a mystical, Jungian exploration of tarot, archetypes, and personal transformation.

In This Episode:

• March as Empress Energy – The shift from potential to manifestation.

• The Empress & The Body – How do you embody her presence? What archetypal energies feel distant or close to you?

• The Hangman’s Influence – What happens when reversal meets abundance? How does shifting perspective change our creative flow?

• The Five of Wands – A Portal to Growth – Understanding the playful challenge, the push of competition, and when to take things less seriously.

• Momentum & Trajectory – The power of small daily actions and their long-term effects, inspired by Atomic Habits.

• Frozen Energy & Releasing Tension – How movement, breath, and creative engagement help unfreeze stuck energy.

• Navigating Conflict & Power Dynamics – Lessons from current events, political rhetoric, and the ways we distinguish noise from true authority.

Journal Prompts for the Week:

1. What word or phrase comes to you when you sit with The Empress?

2. What word or phrase comes to you when you sit with The Hangman?

3. How do these two archetypes interact for you? Where do they challenge each other?

4. Where in your life are you holding too tightly to conflict or taking things too seriously?

5. What patterns, words, or messages keep showing up for you right now? What might they be trying to reveal?

Weekly Tarot Card: Five of Wands

• Challenge can be playful rather than combative.

• Distinguish between real threats and ego-driven conflict.

• Engage in healthy competition, creative movement, and embodiment practices.

• Ground yourself in your body to navigate fire energy effectively.

Community & Offerings:

• Mystic Rising membership community—exploring archetypes, embodiment, and deeper mystical practices.

• Shaman School & other offerings—stay tuned for more details!

Final Takeaway:
This week, embrace challenge as a form of growth. Play with the Empress energy, shift perspectives with The Hangman, and engage The Five of Wands with curiosity rather than rigidity. Keep an open heart, notice what life is showing you, and remember—momentum builds in small, daily ways.

Sending you love, lightness, and ease!

🎙 Listen, journal, and play with the archetypes this week! ✨

Welcome back, Mystical Ones!

I missed you last week, and thank you for your patience while I recovered. In this episode, we dive into the deep wisdom that illness can bring, how the body sometimes shuts down to facilitate soul transformation, and why February’s energy was a moment of pause before March's momentum.

🔮 Healing as a Spiritual Reset – When our bodies force us to rest, what deeper work is happening beneath the surface?
🌱 Momentum & Magnetic Energy – The power of staying with something, building momentum, and the exponential growth that follows.
💰 The Four of Pentacles – Examining our relationship with resources, consumption, and what it means to hold back with intention.
🌑 Pisces New Moon & The Sabian Symbol – What does this lunation’s imagery of a jockey racing at full speed reveal about this moment?
🏡 Resonance with Our Environment – How does the energy of our homes, materials, and surroundings influence our well-being?

A moment to pause, assess, and realign with our values when it comes to resources, energy, and material stability. Are you holding back out of fear or wisdom? Are you using your energy in ways that truly serve your highest good?

✨ Shaman School Enrollment is Open – A few spots remain! First gathering begins in August at sault haus.
🎙️ Podcast Evolution – What do YOU want to hear more of? Readings? Interviews? Deep dives on modalities? Let me know!

This week, let your resources be your teacher. Reflect on how your energy, time, and finances align with your deepest values. And remember: nothing is impossible. Stay with your dreams. Keep turning toward the light. 🌿

Sending big hugs and Empress energy as we step into March!

Welcome back, mystical ones! This week, we're keeping the podcast short and sweet because, honestly, I’ve been hit with the flu (or something equally awful), and I haven't been able to get out of bed for the past 48 hours. But even in this space of rest and recovery, I felt deeply called to share this message with you: I’m with you, and the tarot is with you.

This week, the tarot offers us The Hanged Man—a card that invites us into a state of pause, suspension, and reversal. It’s a card that can elicit very different reactions. Some feel a sense of spaciousness and relief, while others feel discomfort, resistance, or even fear. Whatever your reaction, this is an invitation to sit with the energy rather than rush through it.

• Suspension & Waiting – This card asks us to pause and trust that stillness has wisdom.

• Reversal of Perspective – A shift in how you see things could bring clarity.

• Letting Go of Urgency – If you’re feeling pressure to make a decision, consider waiting and allowing things to unfold naturally.

This is a week to notice where urgency shows up in your life. Of course, some things require immediate action, but if there’s something you’ve been ruminating on, overanalyzing, or feeling pressured to decide, give yourself permission to pause. If something is truly meant for you, it will still be there after you’ve taken a moment to breathe.

• Place The Hanged Man card on your altar or somewhere visible.

• Spend time meditating with it—what messages arise for you?

• Notice where this energy of pause and perspective shift is asking to be honored in your life.

I’m personally feeling this lesson deeply as I surrender to rest and let my body heal. Whatever form this energy takes for you, may you heed the call to slow down, and may it feel like an act of love rather than resistance.

Sending you so much love and wishing you space for suspension and permission for pause this week.

See you next time. 💫

Happy Valentine’s Week, Lovers! 💖

this week’s episode is a heartfelt journey into love, legacy, and the invisible threads that connect us. we explore the energies of the leo full moon and the temperance card (XIV) reflecting on how we weave our lives through relationships, healing, and the stories we tell ourselves.

please note this is the 114th episode, for the week of the 14th and the temperance card is #14 ...

temperance is the bridge, the balance, the alchemy of fire and water—where things don’t have to be either/or, but instead, a blending, a weaving, a new way forward...

under the surface, so many of us are feeling the weight of old stories—stories of perfection, pressure, and being “good.” But what if we honored what’s actually working?

temperance is here to remind us:
* you are already in co-creation with life—what are you mixing into the potion?
* passion and responsibility don’t have to live in opposition.
* healing is not about fixing—it’s about recognizing what is already true.

this week, take a moment to really see what you’ve built. feel the wings at your back. and let yourself be held.

announcements & ways to work together:

🌿Shaman School Begins in September – a transformative, life-changing experience. only a few spots left! reach out if you feel the call.
🌹 Mystic Rising Community Launching Soon! – a space to explore feminine archetypes, monthly tarot insights, and deep soul work. details coming soon.
