Ancestor work is often thought of as something you do in the fall. It makes sense – the veil is thin, as they say. And after all, that’s when Samhain, the Wheel of the Year holiday that honors ancestors, is. But, your ancestor work practice does not have to be relegated to a single holiday, … Read more
Autumn is the season of the ancestors, right? The autumn seems like the obvious choice for cultivating ancestor connection. Plants die; trees shed their leaves. The natural world dies back, retreats to the roots, enters a period of rest. It immediately puts us in mind of the dead. There’s just a vibe, right? Plus, so … Read more
The Underworld is a secret hidden space of destruction and generation. It is caves, swamps, worms that wriggle in the deep and aerate the soil, mythical lands of the ancestors, dark nights of the soul, ego deaths. The Underworld is a place where souls rest, where deities rule, and a place where heroes journey. I’ve … Read more
I’ve got the Underworld and Underworld journeys on the brain. I recently shared a post on what exactly the Underworld is – check that out here!

I’m still not sure these are the right words, but they’re the word I have. Last week, OnlyFans announced that they will begin banning sexually … Read more
If you already read my post from the other day you already know: all my life I’ve been hiding. Maybe it’s a 12th house sun thing. Maybe it’s an ancestral thing. Maybe it’s a growing up queer and neurodivergent in a small town in the early 2000s. But whatever the reason, it’s time to stop … Read more
The sun is in Leo, where it shines the brightest. And it’s time for me to take a cue from the sun, show up, shine out and be visible because… I’ve been hiding. I don’t let others folks see the real me. Not just y’all here in internet land, but also in my personal life. … Read more
