Cutting Cords

Cutting Cords Returning to Yourself with Grace, Compassion and Power There are moments on the path when my spirit feels tangled. I sense it in my body. A weight in my chest. A dull ache in my gut. A quiet tension I cannot name. These signals speak to me. They let me know that something is still attached. Something unseen is pulling on my energy. These attachments are cords. Cords are energetic links between me and someone or something else. They form when energy flows back and forth through emotion, thought, physical intimacy, intention, or shared experience. Some cords feel nourishing and mutual. Others feel draining, disruptive, or confusing. Even love can become distorted when the energy no longer supports growth. A cord holds a…

Ritual Story for Speaking Power, Presence & Ease

I set the space with care. This space is mine. I choose a…

Unmasking Spiritual Malpractice

Unmasking Spiritual Malpractice The Dark Side of Spirituality Spirituality is sacred to me. It’s where I go to remember who I am, to reconnect with meaning, with Spirit, with peace. But I’ve learned that not everything wrapped in spiritual language is rooted in love or truth. Some teachings, some leaders, some communities—hide harm behind divinity. This is spiritual malpractice. And I speak on it because I’ve lived it. I once trusted a spiritual teacher who spoke the language of light—but moved through the world with deception, control, and coercion. At first, the wisdom felt powerful. I thought I had found someone who could see me. But over time, I realized I wasn’t being seen—I was being shaped into someone more manageable. More profitable. Easier to…

Kitchen Magic

Kitchen Magic A Living Art of Intention, Nourishment, and Spellwork Kitchen magic lives in the rhythm of my daily life. It’s not just something I practice—it’s something I become when I step into the kitchen. My body remembers. My hands know. I don’t need elaborate tools or rare ingredients. I move with what I have. A wooden spoon becomes a wand. A simmering pot becomes an altar. My kitchen is sacred space. Some days I hum the songs I grew up with—the ones that speak to my soul even now. Songs I’ve carried through joy and grief, through silence and celebration. Some days I chop herbs while whispering prayers between my breath.
