How did it all start?
around 2012 I had persistent visions leading me on a spiritual path to โrememberingโ who I am. When I started to SURRENDER (which is a daily practice) I was met with many paths, teachers and tools. As I go along my journey Iโve wanted to share what has worked while also building community with humans, plants and Spirit as well as decolonize my thinking and relationships with the universe! Some of the spiritual technology I share is of my own divine inheritance (drawn from the intersections of my identities), while other modalities are passed down from the collective lineages of the Great Spirit. All paths leads to God, Goddess, The Great Spirit. Jai Maa Devi.
My work started in 2013 as Kali Ma: Triple Goddess Tarot and Healing, a solo journey through art, spiritual healing techniques and tarot (divination). Then into a QTBIPOC collective TGT in 2019 and now as a solo practitioner The Shakta Oracle . I developed psychic skills and carved paths outside of the roads of normalized success. As a queer-trans person of color with chronic mental illness, the battles I suffered in attempts to โfit inโ to a productivity culture shoved me further away from full embrace of my divinity. I wanted to escape my reality. The path into the shadow was difficult I had no awareness of how to wrangle with it but Shakti, one of my Mother Goddesses has taken me under her wing and has shown me the POWER of my struggles. Through this path I have embraced so much of me and am in the process of integration (stubborn / kicking and screaming) of many abandoned fragments that split from lifetimes of trauma. I am a warrior of the light thrust daily into the shadow realms. And through it I have gained better perspective that I can now offer to the world. Together we will heal. As we surrender ourselves to our Ancestors and Guides we bring together a well of support and wisdom to aid us in our journey to remembering! All beings are sacred.
