The Magic was Never in the Cards
I still remember when I got my first tarot deck. I wandered into the dark shop along the river, opening the door into the scent of just-burned Nag Champa, hanging like a garland in the air. The shop was full of all kinds of things—dusty crystals and psychedelic posters and bowls of mood rings—but I…
May 2026 Intuitive Reading
What happens after the waterfall? What happens when the steepness levels out? When the rush slows? When the intensity is dispersed and the water can finally bend into other shapes?

How to Survive this World as a Sensitive

You’re Carrying Too Much
Most sensitives I know are carrying way way too much. Not only more than they were designed for, more than anyone on Earth was meant to. As sensitives, we not only carry the moral weight of how we want to show up in the world, our devotion to the Earth, our love for the people closest to us… We also…
Why the Earth Creates Sensitives
Our cherry blossoms faded overnight this year. Normally their ebb is a slower one. Even in the final days of their blooming, I can still run my hand along the belly of the branch and have them fall in a slow pink rain. But we had an unexpected snow this week—and by the morning the…
