“I am the bone of my sword…” There is unique beauty to the way stories can reach into the hidden places of our hearts and stir that which has been long dead. Dreams revived, pain explored, possibilities pondered, and questions raised that scratch at the soul’s tender skin. It is one such story that has …
Touched by the Divine
I revolted. There is no other way to describe what I have done; to encapture the reason why the last year and a half has unfolded this way. I stared into the heart of the void that demanded my soul and said…no. The void I speak of consisted of heartache and betrayal, years of destructive …
Light in the Dark
As I stare out at the gliding snowflakes, I am drawn into my memories of the past year and half. It wasn’t that long ago that I launched out away from Kansas City on a journey of semi self-care and part self-imposed exile. Though I had done nothing wrong, I felt as though I had …
Deliver Us from the Evil…Me?
Since the Fall, humanity has been on a journey to find its way back to the sacred Garden of Eden. The Garden is more than the shallow modern, hedonistic paradise that we have allowed ourselves to reduce it to. Rather, it is the manifest outcome of humanity in full, right-standing with The Divine!
Of Witches and Waiting
All Hallows Eve is upon us and as I sat writing up a cover letter for a job, going on and on about my skills and my thirst for learning, I realized that an area that I lack knowledge in is the area of witchcraft. Now, don’t freak out. Just because I lean Orthodox doesn’t …

Hey God, Well, here we are again. Another relapse, another bounceback. Still angry. Still confused. Still going. I’m really feeling the weight of the past and the pain of relationships lost. Yet I’m not sure why. I have new friends and I have beautiful relationships that I want to cherish, but the past seems to …
Bloody Self-Acceptance
A couple of months ago, I watched a video by Sorelle Amore where she did an exercise in self-acceptance. The exercise seemed simple enough. You stand in front of a mirror naked for an allotted amount of time and simply observe your body without making any judgements or opinions about it. Just observe. After having …
Facing Fears and Failures
It is quite clear to most in my life that I have been severely demotivated of late. Content-creation and creativity have been absent on all my social media platforms, my intentionality in health and wellness have decreased, and this past week I received an email from my school saying that I have been put on …
“Re”calling
Maybe you can relate to this one. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that God led you to something; that it was your calling? How about this: have you ever been all-in fully committed to that calling and God came in and led you to something …
