Darkest Night, Shadow and Light

Darkest night,

Before the birth of the light,

Shadows pulling nigh,

Darkest night terrifying,

Darkest night rejuvenating,

Darkest night ego laying low,

Before we can honor the light,

{No shortcuts allowed!}

She calls you deep into her belly,

Twisting caves… to face the shadows of self, the shadow of ego, the destroyer

Life, Death, Rebirth

What do you need to let go of?

What does she call you to destroy?

What death must occur? So that on Winter’s day, we can celebrate the birth of the Sun, the birth of Radiance, the birth of Oneself.

Take up your magic and courage child,

for you called …..

Radiant Child of the Goddess.

What is Animist Healing?

I refer to myself as an animist practitioner, as the term shaman is fraught with complex cultural, political, and appropriative dynamics.

Animism assumes the world is living, conscious, and filled with beings who are valued as fellow beings. I work with a person to remove blockages and open them up to their innate ability to heal. Working closely with our ancestors and allies, we move between the worlds, time, and space to facilitate healing the past, present, and future.
