it's giving mystical

Welcome to August, mystics. 🌟

Rest, Receive & Ride the August Currents

In this week’s episode of It’s Giving Mystical, Kirsten invites you into the tender energy of the Six of Swords... an archetype of divine protection, sacred transition, and permission to rest your over-efforting self.

Fresh off a soul-rich, seven-hour (jkjk) August Energy episode (if you haven’t listened yet... go treat yourself), this shorter transmission offers a moment of calm reflection and gentle guidance as we move from July’s intensity (Chariot + Tower) into the dreamy, devotional waters of Strength and the Star. ✨

What if strength wasn’t about gripping, but about being of joyful service?
What if power looked like resting in the arms of the divine?
What if your only job right now… was to not tip the canoe?

This week, we explore:
💫 The Six of Swords as the minor arcana of the Star—a call to receive protection and ease
💫 How to recognize safe passage and let yourself actually be supported
💫 The difference between necessary action vs unnecessary efforting
💫 Why obsessing over the big question ("Should I stay or go?") is often a distraction
💫 A reminder that August is a month of manifestation—so move gently, and let it come to you

Plus:
⚔️ A sneak peek at this month’s Mystic Rising archetype: the Warrior. We’ll be working with the energy of righteous focus, sacred fight, and graceful discipline. Our first call is this Tuesday—join us if you're ready to claim what’s worth protecting.
🌿 And an exciting update: Shaman School is almost full! We may have room for two more beloveds. Reach out if you feel the call to this life-changing journey.

Take this episode as your cosmic permission slip to slow down, receive, and trust the tides. Let August love on you. You’ve earned it.

August Forecast: Devotion, Radiance & the Beauty of Being in a Body... it's giving... wild, soft & divine as the new face of power...

This month on It’s Giving Mystical, we enter the realm of the Strength and Star cards... two of the most exquisite energies in the tarot... and step fully into the spiritual weather of August.

After July’s transformative unraveling (hello Chariot and Tower!), we find ourselves in new terrain. The dry skins have shed, the old armors have cracked, and now we are invited into something softer, truer, and more deeply devotional.

In this expansive episode, Kirsten guides us through:

✨ The sacred alchemy of Strength: meeting your wild, animal self with fierce compassion and radical self-acceptance
✨ The cosmic renewal of The Star: a reminder that you are the beloved of the universe, worthy of rest, love, and divine replenishment
✨ The art of bowing down: what it means to be in joyful devotion to something greater than your ego or old identities
✨ Why August’s Lionsgate portal is a true manifestation vortex and how to anchor your desires in both pleasure and purpose
✨ How to discern the difference between strength that controls and strength that surrenders
✨ A powerful reflection: What would you do if you knew you couldn’t lose love?
✨ A zodiac reading for every sign, featuring intuitive tarot + animal spirit messages

This is your monthly mystical immersion... a soul transmission to remind you that strength can be tender, devotion can be sexy, and the most powerful thing you can do might just be to let your heart crack open.

🌹 Bring your Strength card. Bring your Star card. Bring your willingness to receive more than you thought was possible.

Tune in now, and let August bless you.

Welcome to your mystical roadmap for the week of July 25 — a potent moment of integration following the Leo New Moon.

This episode invites you into a deeper conversation about what it means to be truly devoted to the work of your hands, your emotional truth, and the unseen harmonies of your life. Kirsten unpacks the archetypal medicine of the Queen of Cups, Justice, and the Eight of Pentacles, offering a soul-aligned reminder: You are not ending July the same person you were when it began.

✨ Topics include:

• The Leo New Moon as a private moment of radiance and self-honoring

• Attention farming vs. sacred energy exchange on social media

• Why your devotion to mundane tasks can be the deepest form of spiritual alignment

• The energetics of making space (and how clearing out your garage might just be holy)

• A reminder that the extraordinary is woven through the ordinary — and how to notice it

• A powerful personal story about intuition, embodiment, and reclaiming your light

This week’s message is simple but profound: You know where you need to be. Trust it. And put your beautiful hands to it.

📿 If you've been asking for a sign to clean the clutter, reclaim your creative energy, or finally answer that soul-knocking whisper... this is it.

🌿 Bonus reminder: Enrollment for Shaman School closes July 31! If you’re craving deeper connection to your purpose, community, and sacred ways of seeing the world — now’s the time. We’d love to have you.

This week, Kirsten pulls three cards to track the energy of mid-July — and they’re high voltage:

• ⚡ Knight of Swords: mental spirals + urgency

• 🔥 Page of Wands: creative spark + inspired curiosity

• 🌿 Empress: deep permission + divine timing

Tune in for insights on:
→ How to stay anchored in your power
→ What to do with retrograde revisits + resurfacing ideas
→ Why your mind isn’t the boss this week
→ The slow magic of birthing something that lasts

🌟 “This tiny spark is trying to become a legacy. And the Earth is blessing it.”

You’re not behind — you’re becoming.

🔥 This week on It’s Giving Mystical, we dive deep into the emotional expansion of the 10 of Cups.

July is heating up with passion, power, and a call to step into your authentic authority. But what does that really mean when the world is loud, chaotic, and full of people telling you how to live?

🌕 Fresh from our Full Moon Circle, I explore:

• What it means to stay with yourself in unfamiliar or evolving spaces

• The rollercoaster of self-realization and reentry into relationships and community

• Why discernment is your greatest spiritual tool right now

• How to tell if what you’re consuming is truly nourishing or just beautifully packaged scarcity

• The beauty (and discomfort) of expanding into joy, love, and deep fulfillment

• What to do when life starts giving you what you’ve asked for… and it feels almost too good to be true

💖 This episode is an anchor in a noisy world. Come home to yourself. Listen with your heart. And let the wisdom of the cards illuminate your path forward.

✨ If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, self-trust, or emotional expansion, this one is for you.

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.

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.
