Halloween. Witches. October.

No matter where you live in the world today, these three words feel synonymous. Pop culture would have us believe that we're all supposed to be contacting ghosts and foretelling the future.

But what does Samhain season really tell us? If the veils separating the living and the dead are thin, what other, more practical work is there to do?

Navigating spirituality alone is like navigating physical health alone. It's always better, wiser, and safer to have someone educated, experienced, and qualified to address spiritual health with you.

In Part 1, we looked at the green flags: the observable behaviors that show ethical principles in practice. In Part 2, we’ll examine what happens when those principles are absent, violated, or replaced by control, exploitation, and fabricated authority.

Spiritual leaders and teachers serve a crucial role in society: addressing our spiritual health, most often by helping us make sense out of the senseless. (Those things that other professionals hit dead-ends on.)

Yet not everyone taking on this role lives by the same set of values and ethics, leaving it up to us to work out who we can trust. In this article, we address the main hallmarks of the trustworthy spiritual guides.

We say we want real. But we seek out the cheapest option available. We say we hate algorthims. Yet we continue feeding them anyway. We say we want authentic psychic experiences. And then turn to AI and apps instead.

How do you find authentic readers when free is the only thing you can afford? This month we're breaking down the nonsense, why we all fall victim to it, and how to break out to find real empowerment on our own terms.

You’ve probably heard some version of the phrase “holding space”. What the heck are they talking about?

Get the real origins of the phrase, how its used today, and what to look for to ensure the people claiming to hold space for you are actually capable of doing it.

Have you ever found yourself avoiding anything involving Tarot because of scammy predictions of the future? Or maybe it’s the opposite–you’re drawn to Tarot because you want to know what’s coming? Fortune-telling came to mean “future-telling”. But your fortune isn’t the same as your future. 

Ever hear "Tarot is evil"? Freaking out over a card pulled during a reading? Can't seem to find a good psychic?

Between fear-mongering and gatekeeping, it's no wonder most people today have trouble with separating myth from fact when it comes to the cards. Let's bust the myths together!

The most common request I receive as a Tarot reader, Witch, and teacher is for help learning the cards or starting a magical practice. I always point them first to meditation and mindfulness.

What could these practices possibly have to do with reading Tarot or casting a circle? Discover why a focused mind is foundational for truly intuitive and esoteric practices.

Love it or hate it, people everywhere are using AI and adopting it as a mainstay in their lives.

But with scrupulous uses and unintentional poor ethics included, how do we begin trusting in anything spiritual or esoteric ever again in the age of AI?

The Association for Spiritual Integrity (ASI) has an idea, and I'm completely on board with it!

What does "spirituality" actually mean? And what does it have to do with Tarot?

If you've ever felt turned off by organized religion but still long for meaning, or if you're skeptical of the pseudoscience flooding the spiritual wellness space, you're not alone.

Here's a grounded definition of spiritual health, what it means to embody your spirituality, and how Tarot—used authentically—supports both.

The most powerful truths aren't always found in documents we can prove, but in the spiritual and emotional resonance we feel.

Our paths to ancestral healing relies on a combination of genealogical research and deeply spiritual experiences. How do you find your ancestors when you don't even know who they are?

We often think of history as something fixed and far away, but that's not how it feels when we're living through it.

The present can be disorienting, especially when the world around us seems to be changing faster than we can process. This month, we dive into time, perspective, and the challenges of being part of a nation still coming into its own.
