MONDAY MUSINGS : Here I am with my mama. The weekend was a whirlwind as I didn’t really have enough space as I would like for our one on one time. She has a tendency to never stop moving, both coupled with resilience and resistance to slowing down : We are cut from the same cloth, our ancestors and our anxiety/worry are so chorded with one another that sometimes in her presence I find it hard to remember myself : We ate good food and most of the time i was telling her to put her 📱 away because she does have a thing with screen ((I could tell you of my high school when she played World Of Warcraft and I didn’t have a mother really, maybe another time)) : Most of all she is everything I could ever want and is all I ever I need. I see her, all of her, and she sees me even when sometimes I feel perpetually 21. We talked of my great grandma Rin Kashima and how her mother was a geisha. This is something I am floored and so curious about, but don’t really know how to track since being illegitimate in Japan makes me pretty much an outcast from strict societal expectations : Here’s to my muse, my mirror, the mother I love. Oh and yay for @coogibrand sweaters . . . #motherdaughter #mondaymusings #mondaymotivation #beopentochange #iamnotmymother #mirrorreflection #thewitchesmuse #besoultheheart #yonsei #japaneseamerican
Child. Caretaker. Elder. Guide ⭐️ What’s the messages of these archetypes! #soultarotchallenge I’m simply not good at doing one card readings. And posting everyday. So here we are. The deer card from the #susanboulet animal deck shows the 🦌 : The power of the femme within, my inner child noticing its independence and regeneration. I notice more and more my inner child showing up and being seen. : What does the caretaker have to say? 2 of discs. Know what serves myself first and foremost. What are my needs? I often play the role of the caretaker for others and people don’t often even need it and I forget about myself in the process : The elder message of the 👑 emperor. The wise womxn knows all. Heed the advice of your ego and seriously stop doubting yourself with destructive thoughts. Not everyone is going to like what you have to say, and that’s ok : The guide message of the six of ⚔️ what is immediacy to me? How do I arrive in a place and just trust? This card is hard for me, as I often get stuck on if everyone choices need to be heard before my own and that everyone needs to be happy even at my expense. This card comes after a long weekend of trying to manage lots of people’s expectations : These spreads feel potent and often take me a lot of time to process. I’ll be doing a tarot missive on my Patreon this week, where I pull a spread and reflect on the full moon, which is a super moon 🌝 in Virgo . . . #fullmoon #soultarotchallenge #thewitchesmuse #themotherpeacetarot #motherpeacetarot #candles #magic #witchesofinstagram
The best medicine for the heart is laughter. And nature. And 🌅 . . I have been tending to this phrase #besoultheheart for a while now. For me, the opportunity to really sit with myself and see how my mind can run the Tara show, and finding the balance between the soul’s desires and the hearts yearnings. The phrases of desire and yearning have such an Eros quality, I explore how these three vessels integrate their wisdom together through dream work, tarot, and time out in the wilds. . . What’s your hearts medicine? . . . 📸: @her.oregon.life #heartmedicine #laughter #getoutside #outdoors #beopentochange #besoultheheart #thewitchesmuse #majorarcanaofthesoul
BODY. HEART. SOUL . . #soultarotchallenge . . SUSPENSION/HANGED WOMXN . . I am the fullest bodied I have ever been at 31 years of age. Having weighed the same since I was 19, something between injury, letting go of shame diets, and learning to love soft folds at 31, I am every bit of a fierce courageous and still self conscious being. I look at changed perspective without sacrificing myself, and look at how true flexibility takes not over-stretching our boundaries : YOUNG BLADE ((reversal)) . . The messenger of my heart has been worked these days. I have felt antisocial and been comfortable being aloof, a symbol of airey communication and not being able to anchor in my own commitments to self. In a way I’ve been selfish to my needs before my partner @nathan_the_drummer_boy and I recognize his need for his own serenity without my needing to control every swift action and decision as minute as dishes in the sink. I know my heart seeks collaboration to thrive, and I continue to lean into that, even when I feel I am clawing my way to trying to being kind. Yes, I can be mean, especially to those I love the most. . . . THE SHAMAN . . The soul says what it says because it knows deep down what matters. Who am I beyond a shadow of a doubt? How do I serve? How do I step out of unhealthy ego mind? Questions the shaman has, need no answers. Just consult the tools of ones own spirit, and the spirit of my ancestors, those who have traversed this landscape before and still in non linear time travel . . Pulling cards while asking questions allows one to connect with their innate wisdom. I’ll be opening up tarot readings via Patreon this coming Spring, more to come ✨❤️✨ . . . #dust2onyx #witchesofinstagram #thewitchesmuse #becurious #soul #tarot #tarotspread #hangedman #highpriestess #swords #soultarotchallenge Deck by @dust2onyxtarot
THE WITCHES MUSE PSA✨👇🏼 : I feel your just a part of me, the part that longs to feel the dirt and sand wet on the shoulders after rolling around on an ocean floor ✨ A part of me in a constant journey of liberation yet only if it means others will join me on their own journey and not one that focuses on my joy, but OUR JOY : A part of me who still questions if this was even a good idea, no one really listens, it’s not short enough to catch the dwindling attention of a scroll combatting with comparison anxiety and notoriety through whose who and what’s what : A part of me who knows the muse lives for the moment in question. Not to be taken for granted nor taken for greed, to be taken and betrothed to my inner beloved, the part of the muse who courts the very nature of my existence from an imaginal landscape that dances across my fingertips like Bees dance among the sunflower petals, soaking in each moment of self discover in potent honey filled magic : The Witches Muse is a podcast of storytelling, conversation on ensouled living, and leaning into our existence through our archetypal pulsations that beat through the veins of our communal hearts. Will you lean in with me and listen to ones heartbeat? . . .

MY BODY , MY RULES : It is my first time bleeding on a first quarter moon. That’s a whole week earlier than my full moon bleed times. I absolutely love bleeding. The real talk of that is that I have truly dedicated the last several years of my life to deconstructing and not demanding my body to take on the daily grind on the first day of my moon : It’s a fucking privilege, to be able bodied and have the space to create this time : The first quarter moon. In this phase, the Moon is waxing and square the Sun. The time of growth, the time where first branches and blooms begin to pop : Today I am recording an episode for the podcast and tending to the hearth. Because I’m not on any specific time continuum but my own. My body my rules . . .

MESSAGE FROM MY MIND 🧠#soultarotchallenge . . . I always found it interesting to talk about “type a”’people 🆚 “type b” people. Our minds able to categorize because then it makes easier for us to separate and distinguish. Whatever that is suppose to do 🤦🏻‍♀️ : As beings on this beautiful mysterious journey, we’re all truly wanting to return home to our souls mind. The mind where we don’t need to compartmentalize, compare or capitalize off of ideas or projects. Life is a series of choose your own adventures, free to explore and uncover : The message for the mind is to treat it as a gift. An offering for you and others to be open, to be curious and remain wildly courageous on what else is possible than what we currently believe in (yep, like magick ✨) . . . #soultarotchallenge #beguidedbyyoursoul #gift #earthboundoracle #becurious #thewitchesmuse #typea #typeb #personality
A Poem (The Spirit Likes to Dress Up) Really missing Connie. Settling into a threshold. 💫 The spirit likes to dress up like this: ten fingers, ten toes, 💫 shoulders, and all the rest at night in the black branches, in the morning 💫 in the blue branches of the world. It could float, of course, but would rather 💫 plumb rough matter. Airy and shapeless thing, it needs the metaphor of the body, 💫 lime and appetite, the oceanic fluids; it needs the body's world, instinct 💫 and imagination and the dark hug of time, sweetness and tangibility, 💫 to be understood, to be more than pure light that burns where no one is -- 💫 so it enters us -- in the morning shines from brute comfort like a stitch of lightning; 💫 and at night lights up the deep and wondrous drownings of the body like a star. . . . #podcast #podcastersofIG #modernmystic #thewitchesmuse #themajorarcanaofthesoul #thetarot #tarotreadersofinstagram #magic #witchesofinstagram #maryoliver #poetrymuse #star #elderwisdom #teachings #stories #passiton #poetry 📸: @her.oregon.life
ELDERS ARE LIFELINES : We lost a high priestess, mentor in our community on Imbolc. She is not lost however, joining the cosmos in a woven tapestey. @connie.bender.mystic is an astrologer, tarot reader for over 30 years, and star witch : My first readings when I landed in Eugene at 19 were with Connie. I took a four month tarot class where we would visit her house weekly and go through the entirety of the tarot. Those days are forever in my ❤️ ✨ The STAR ⭐️ CARD by @dust2onyxtarot is a card that showed up right when I found out Connie had crossed over. Her wisdom, her shining grace is that of the star card ✨ The brilliance of the star card is it shines regardless of how much physical attention is required. I can be unaware of a star, yet it’s glow still radiates ⭐️ WHAT AM I CREATING THIS MONTH? : i have my own innate remembrance regardless of recognition. . . . #conniebender #majorarcanaofthesoul #wildsoultarotchallenge #wildsoulhealing #star #dust2onyx #rememberance #shineyourownlight
