Inner Strength: A gift of wisdom from Baba Yaga
Throughout my life, and especially when I was younger, I had dealt with very terrifying sleep paralysis. I learned later that one of the mythos surrounding sleep paralysis was that it was Baba Yaga sitting on your chest. I also had a thing where I proudly persevered through pain, pushing myself through the “hard stuff”.

Aligning With Archetypes with Deity Work
Embedded in this post contains a core belief that I currently hold that our world – everything – even those things that we perceive as actual physical reality – is ultimately a symbol of something bigger and that our bodies/minds have not developed the language to describe it or even to imagine it.

matter as a symbol
What is a symbol? A representation of an original. Then what is the original? The first, the primary… quite literally source. It is the vibration that many refer to as God. It is the primary source code, and even as I try to describe it, I can only come close because the language that I

I Ching Rotation and Inversion
There are two core ways in which the trigrams and hexagrams change to their “opposite”: Rotate or Invert. While any hexagram can have any other hexagram within a I Ching divination, I find that studying these corners is putting a structure behind how the situations relate in the whole.
