Healing Arts: The healing space - an ever evolving manifestation of intention, altar, and sacred space.

This is a living space, continually changing to reflect the current manifestation of my healing work and sacred practices. By making our spaces living-altars, we remind ourselves of the sacredness inherent in our every day lives. This is especially effective when paired with spaced devoted to certain sacred practices.

Healing Arts: Stones and crystals used in altar craft and healing. Mineral Kingdom entities can be powerful allies in spiritual and healing practices when treated with respect and tended with awareness and reverence.

Healing Arts: Offering prayers of gratitude, aligning with and receiving healing energy.

Healing Arts: Energy healing on the energy centers of the throat and third eye. Balancing self-expression, truth-speaking, and communication with perception, intuition, and visioning.

Altar Arts: A Winter Solstice mini-altar honoring the darkest night, the stillness and fulcrum of the year, and the promise of the return of light.

This altar includes a remedy especially blended and blessed for this seasonal shift. Altar tending becomes especially interactive when taking into one’s body the magic and healing of the potentized remedy.

Altar Arts: An outdoor mini-altar honoring the entwined and sacred process of life and death.

All objects were found and ethically collected (the quail eggs collected only after ascertaining with certainty that they had been abandoned).

Sacred Arts: A calavera watercolor made for the annual community Dia de los Muertos altar.

Calaveras are a symbol of the dead and the circle of life. They are an integral part of the celebration and observance of Dia de los Muertos.

Healing Arts: A singing bowl used in sessions for healing sound.

According to some sources, these bowls have an immensely long history and origins in India. Use of the bowls traveled to Tibet during the 8th century, along with the teachings of Buddha and were part of the meditation practices of Buddhist monks. Other sources place their origins in the 1970s and note their surge in popularity in the 1990s. Today, they are used by many for the beauty of their sound.

Healing Arts: A working witch’s desk… and a few of the 650 + remedies in the Community Apothecary used in the creation of bespoke vibrational remedy formulas for mental, emotional, and spiritual healing.

Sacred Arts: A custom created Calavera painting for the death of a father.

The client requested representations of her father’s Swedish ethnicity and culture combined with her Latin American heritage for her personal Dia de los Muertos altar practice.

His bespoke calavera depicts a Swedish landscape, designs from traditional Swedish embroidery, and a serpent (as seen on ancient Viking memorial rune stones). The decorations are in blue; his favorite color. The runes used are 8th-12th century Younger Futhark (Rök) and symbolize “new life” & “death” (eyes), and “haven” against the reversed rune for "journey” (chin).

Altar Arts: One of the living altars in my space. All of my altars perpetually evolve in accordance with my needs and intentions. This is no exception.

Healing Arts: Sacred and healing smoke is used throughout many cultures for cleansing and as an offering (white sage harvested from the garden of a dear friend and sister-witch, evergreen needle cluster wild foraged from naturally fallen branch).

Some view the use of white sage as a closed practice. I use white sage as one of my smoke-bundle plants at the urging of an indigenous practitioner I work with in ceremony. I’ve been instructed to use it for blessing and cleansing and as an offering. I only use sage gifted to me by members of the indigenous community or reverently cultivated in gardens of those I know personally.

Healing Arts: Vibrational essences of natural elements for mental, emotional, and spiritual healing.

Healing Arts: Energy healing using a touch-free technique.

Altar Arts: The first of the Annual Dia de los Muertos community altars I tend and host (2018), after moving our personal practice outside to share. This altar space is open to the public and community members are encouraged to participate in this remembering practice and is an outgrowth of many years of my family’s personal Dia de los Muertos altar practice.

The community altar-space and offerings have grown immensely throughout the years with the current community altar space spanning the entirety of our front yard, including multiple altar and contemplative spaces, educational materials, individual and group activities and workshops. All are free of charge and open to all (sign-ups available late fall, on my booking page)

Healing Arts: Oracle cards, a tool used for healing intention guidance.

Oracle cards and tarot decks have their roots in the long history of the cartomancy and fortune telling practices of the Romani peoples. It is noted that Roma fortune tellers were traditionally exclusively women and fortune telling for income was practiced only with non-Roma.
