I will be uploading a 30-minute power practice...

Can you feel this eclipse energy making waves? Just a reminder to be very mindful and intentional when it comes to your practices and rituals during an eclipse. I do not recommend charging crystals/tools or doing spell work (if that’s your thing) on an eclipse, because the energy can be unpredictable. I also find that readi...

Tomorrow! The sun moves into the sign of Gemini with Venus, Mercury, and the North Node.
