My Personal Mediumship Tips
Mediumship is deeply complex, and the more I have worked with it over the years, the more complexity and questions I recognize. But here is a working thread of some random insight I’ve uncovered over time: 1) it’s not as simple as just shifting your consciousness ‘beyond the veil.’ There can be multiple 'veils’ and multiple dimensional realms your consciousness can go to. Intention is important in that respect. 2) Multi-locating is the experience of having your consciousness in multiple dimensions/realms at once Eg: hearing a dog barking in the physical, hearing your ancestor discuss a topic in another, and your spirit guide off in a different place giving context clues, all at once. 3) You can engage with mediumship through all of the clair-centers, and at least for me, it is the most effective when I am utilizing multiple psychic senses in a dynamic way. Feeling the information, seeing visuals of it, hearing sounds/voices related to it, etc. Making it a full 'body’ experience often gives the most well-rounded and nuanced context for what is being relayed. It also helps to be more neutral when translating it because your psychic senses are so busy processing all of the different input. 4) Getting confirmation and context from multiple different sources when translating information through mediumship can be a game changer. Spirits and other beings can be biased too, having different perspectives helps to understand that and navigate it more clearly. 5) Download headaches are a real ass thing. A lot of the time, especially when my claircognizance is being used to translate information, I get a precursory headache or tension in my head signaling that information is coming through. Pro Tip: 'Checking in’ when this happens often helps to reduce the intensity of the download headache by actively taking the incentive to go and process the information instead of waiting for it to 'hit’ 6) Learning to let your consciousness travel through vibrations can greatly expand your mediumship skills. Take a bell and ring it, and practice allowing your consciousness to connect to those vibrations and flow through them. Practice different forms, music, white noise, etc

Is it Luck, Manifestation, or Coincidence? – [Mystic Meditations]
Is luck on my side? Will my goals in life that can lead to success? Will my prosperity candle spell work? Not everything is guaranteed, but one thing is: change. Change. It’s chaotic, random, and often not noticed until it’s noticed. Lately, I’ve been exploring how my agnosticism and absurdism plays around with my mystic practices and it’s really bizarre, but also really fun. There’s something…

Chiron in Leo Mantra – [Mystic Meditations]
Chiron in Leo Mantra The opinions of others are separate from my truth. I woke up anxious and angry over a dream that revealed how poorly I respond to the actions and opinions of others. I gave them too much power. It’s exactly what has made manipulating me so easy for others whether I consider them close or are just random strangers. My Leo Chiron is in the first house vibing with my ascendant…

Inner Search – [Just Me]
“You are free and that is why you are lost.”– Franz Kafka, “Letter to His Father” I constantly sway back and forth between knowing who I am and what I want, then not knowing anything about myself at all. It’s like an automatic dissociation from the self and it leaves me ungrounded, floating. I often try to resist this lost feeling, but it’s such a frequent experience now and since many of my…

Letting go of anything that has hurt you requires confronting and accepting your feelings, not repressing them or pretending it doesn’t really bother you. Once you face and accept how you feel about the matter honestly, you’ll gain more clarity on how to move on, which is a process. If you repress it or resort to escapism, the pain blinds you and it’ll feel like nothing works.
Also, I post with disabilities in mind. It’s not an easy process to face your pain when your brain does what it thinks is right to do when it comes to survival. Even if your steps forward are the smallest steps, they count.

This is a shortened version of a new practice of mine that combines CBT with my elemental/alchemical studies. Full version: 🦋Observe the facts. 🌲Ground yourself in reality. 🔥Accept what you can AND can’t control. 🌊 Trust your intuition. The trusting part is the hardest for me. Which one is hardest for you? 🦋🖤🦋💀🦋 #cbt #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #occult #occultstudy #fourelements #alchemy #psychology #selfcare #grounding #meditation #mystic #witch #animist #pagan https://www.instagram.com/p/CLV-BC0nuQy/?igshid=6hdxejet2ccf
Shadow work will often let you know how you’re getting in your own way, and what I love about this the most is realizing how we’ve internalized past treatment so much that it turns into this subconscious habit and as that habit becomes more apparent, those around us interpret that behavior or self-treatment as permission to treat us that way too. The way you treat yourself teaches others how to treat you. That can get either dangerous or enlightening real quick. If you had friends or family who withheld care and respect towards you on any level just to define the relationship as more of a power dynamic rather than unconditional care, they will do everything to convince you that you “need” them (because you’re not going to get any nurturing or care without them, supposedly lol), but the truth is you don’t. Once you take that brave step away from them and search for more independent or interdependent ways of receiving care, respect, or whatever else you need by providing for yourself and building healthy support systems that don’t emotionally blackmail you, you’ll have even further proof that you don’t need them. Internalizing mistreatment is only consistent in loss. You’ll gain more by addressing your needs. Take a moment of stillness and ask yourself if the way you’re being treated by others and the way you’re treating yourself is helping or hurting you. 🖤💀🖤 #selftrust #selftransformation #meditation #divination #shadowwork #occult #runes #elderfutharkrunes #witch #mystic #pagan #norserunes #shadowworker https://www.instagram.com/p/CIlsQKcHrz4/?igshid=1a12s3z2dmafk
"The shadow self is an archetype that forms part of the unconscious mind and is composed of repressed ideas, instincts, impulses, weaknesses, desires, perversions, and embarrassing fears. This archetype is often described as the darker side of the psyche, representing wildness, chaos, and the unknown." - @lonerwolfpath For my shadow work this year, I decided to use the Shadow Work Journal by @lonerwolfpath and I’m so grateful for the work they put into it. I highly recommend it for those who are ready to take that step towards being and loving yourself. More on the shadow self, shadow work, and the wonderful shadow work journal in my blog post.

My #shadowwork investments came in last week! I want to thank @rockmyzen for the charoite/black tourmaline bracelet with a bonus selenite wand and @barkatthemoonshop for the intoxicating and glitter-tastic black absinthe candle with a very cinnamony bonus candle. So worth it and so happy for both items that are helping me during my shadow work sessions, but honestly why hasn’t charoite been in my life sooner?! If you’re an empath or highly sensitive type that needs some #grounding , I highly recommend it. @rockmyzen has some beautiful, high quality pieces. And @barkatthemoonshop has some beautiful wicker, soy candles with a #gothic edge. Thanks to the both of you for your beautiful craftsmanship. 🖤💜💀💜🖤 #candles #groundingcrystals #shadowworker #charoite #selenite #journal #crystals #tarot #witch #mystic #pagan #meditation #supportetsyshops https://www.instagram.com/p/CGECg4GnNVc/?igshid=1tymu7kl3lq2l
Healing is a difficult, yet worthwhile task. Sorting through my own issues while meditating and divining today inspired an idea for a book. Pain inspires, but the will to heal transforms inspiration into manifestation. I’m grateful and look forward to whatever work I’ll need to do. -:- #tarot #meditation #tarotreading #inspiration #bookideas https://www.instagram.com/p/CDrJJvLnSeU/?igshid=15oyaut538nrt

“So, to meditate is to purge the mind of its self-centered activity. And if you have come this far in meditation, you will find there is silence, a total emptiness. The mind is uncontaminated by society; it is no longer subject to any influence, to the pressure of any desire. It is completely alone, and being alone, untouched it is innocent. Therefore there is a possibility for that which is timeless, eternal, to come into being. This whole process is meditation.”

Taking Time To Reflect – [Just Me] I'm taking some time to reflect today for the sake of making sure I take steps on the path that's right for me.
I get so lethargic on Wednesdays. I’ve decided to allow myself to have a part of my daily meditations and tarot readings be in bed. My part-time job is great, but I get really bad social hangovers (usually only introverts get them and it’s very real lol). This tarot deck was designed by IronClown Studios. The artist is Danny Hirajeta who is on Etsy. #tarot #tarotreading #mystic #meditation #resting #introvert https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ed8k-nsGT/?igshid=1k2157eqodytf
I’ve been using this stone I found for aura cleansing initially because I’m 90% sure it’s a white calcite, but the cleansing has elevated to physical rejuvenation as well. There is no medical science backing crystal healing, but there are healing aspects to meditation such as stress relief, which helps our bodies in its own way and I love meditating with this stone. For my fellow energy workers, I’m sure you understand what I mean by the aura cleansing elevating to physical rejuvenation, since what’s going on within can manifest into the physical in so many ways, so I just wanted to share that white calcite is great for that. Not to mention meditation has made me more thoughtful of my physical needs in general, like not leaning on my elbows or putting too much stress on my back and knees, paying attention to my posture. There’s just a mental toughness that boosts itself in moments of meditation, I just like to hold rocks while I meditate lol. Disclaimer: Never disregard medical science. Never. Go to your doctor (if you can afford it), address your symptoms, pay attention to your physical well being ultimately; just don’t forget what your soul needs too (even if the “soul” to you is just your brain operating as such, all the more reason to pay attention to emotional and mental health). #crystalhealing #whitecalcite #meditation #selfimprovement #healthyliving #witch https://www.instagram.com/p/B50q3gPnCvq/?igshid=ro78afd72egg

Daily Teachings of the Masters, October 18, 2019
Trust in your own abilities. Some of you are very good at trusting in another’s abilities but not your own. Trust in your own abilities. Because when you trust in your own abilities, you say yes to you. You acknowledge that you too have a connection to the Divine. You too are an extension of the Divine. As you are willing to trust in your own abilities, you will find that they are more readily available. You will have access to them in much greater measure. Because you began to trust.
