Esoteric Emporium

Use this spread anytime you're at a major life crossroads, or navigating crisis in your personal, professional, or spiritual life! It will give you helpful information about manifesting your SOUL PURPOSE in this lifetime!

Get some targeted advice from the Tarot's Court Cards on what you need to LEARN, what you need to DO, what you need to NURTURE, and what you need to MASTER.

This Tarot spread is inspired by Stop, Drop, & Roll—those catchy, memorable, actionable steps of what to do if you’re caught on fire. This is a rare occurrence—but since the 1970’s, all of us worldwide are prepared to Stop, Drop, and Roll. This Tarot spread offers the emotional/cognitive/metaphysical/existential equivalent.

If you’re struggling with a decision, a crossroads, a family dynamic, a situation at work, a major life change, a midlife crisis, a breakup—anything that feels out of control, this spread will give you practical, actionable advice. It won’t fix the situation, but it will help you to handle crises with maturity, grace, confidence, and, yes, even curiosity. It will help you to feel like you are doing something. It will refocus your mental energy and invite you to explore the kinds of symbolic action that do, in fact, generate change.

1. Start by shuffling your deck and meditating on whatever you want to problem-solve.

2. When you’re ready, cut the deck three times, laying out three separate piles.

3. Flip the top cards over. This is your three-step action plan, guaranteed to put out any emotional/cognitive/metaphysical/existential fire.

4. Take time to distill each card into a simple, actionable step.

5. Then, flip the piles over and reflect on the cards on the bottom. These cards give you some information about what’s on the other side—they might represent what’s threatening or opposing you, they might represent the problem itself, or an obstacle, something that’s preventing you from taking right action or seeing the situation clearly. These cards might represent what you’ll let go of and leave in the past if you act. Maybe these cards represent alternative or follow-up actions. Listen to the cards and use your intuition.

6. Take action! Put your three-step plan into motion.

Using accessible ingredients from your pantry, this sweet, easy & affordable spell manifests abundance for all!

In 10 quick steps you’ll generate wealth, generosity, & connection—the kind that leads to collective liberation!

(Curious about the missing Step #11? When the apple rots, compost it in a garden, or the earth, or leave it a crossroads, or dispose of it in a graveyard or at a church or gym or hospital. Or do what I did and throw it as high as you can into your favorite body of water!)

Eclipses pivot.

Eclipses transform.

Eclipses catalyze.

Eclipses amplify our actions.

Eclipses shine a light on what’s been hidden in the shadows. They ask us to do the hard work of healing and self-reflection—in our personal and professional lives.

So why not get a head start?

Why not flush out what’s hidden, pivot, identify what we want to amplify, and catalyze our own transformation in advance of the eclipse?

My pre-Eclipse Money Jar Ritual is designed to do just that!

This simple, four-step ritual uses basic ingredients from your pantry to supercharge areas of your life where you want to grow wealth and worth and release anything that's blocking you from accessing your innate wealth and worth.

I recommend starting this ritual before the eclipse but you can start it day of, too. Or any time you want to tune into the magic of abundance!

This Self Love Shower is a simple, accessible ritual using basic ingredients from your pantry to CELEBRATE beautiful, badass, messy, paradoxical, counterintuitive you.

I foraged for and/or purchased ingredients from my neighborhood discount market (including an intriguing and slightly suspicious bottle of “sparkling mango wine” that I am happy to douse myself in and not drink), for a total of $5—far cheaper than therapy, a massage, a fancy dinner, a new pair of lacy underwear, or any other way that we tend to “indulge” in self love.

Here’s a simple spell for setting a goal that’s worth the price of admission. Especially if—like so many of us—you are struggling to tap into your dreams. If daily life is hard enough, and dreaming doesn’t seem worth the price of admission, then this ritual is for you!

This Big Momma Cold Moon Magic Spell is ignited by the magic of today’s full moon in Cancer. You can spin it anytime—ideally in the next week, to prime you to reclaim the power that is rightfully yours in the New Year.

That’s right! In 2024, we will reclaim the power that is rightfully ours.

And this Big Momma Magic Workout is here to help.

The workout takes about 30 minutes, and is followed by a super yummy 6-day Abundance Shoe Ritual. You'll write for about 24 of those minutes, in 6 of my trademark writing sprints. You'll need something to write with and on, two dimes, something sweet, a candle, and the Moon and the Devil Tarot cards.

This spell will prepare you to show up to the New Year with a full cup. AND RECLAIM THE POWER THAT IS RIGHTFULLY YOURS!
