Ep. 201 NOVEMBER :: Akashic Soul Nourishment :: Fruiting Bodies, Sorcery, & Your Deep Roots

 
 

About Monthly Soul Nourishment Readings: These readings are usually filled with metaphor & symbols, so may require a bit of unraveling & might mean something different for each person, so pay attention to what comes up for you as you listen on. Hope they provide value and moments of reflection in your journey.

Happy 11/1! This episode is an Akashic Soul Nourishment reading for November 2021, an intuitively channeled message from the Akashic Records for the month.

Our Guides encourage you to feel into the greater depths of so-called “fruiting bodies” and open your awareness to the vastness living behind the formations before you. They share how we can truly begin to tap into the vast complexity of this physical reality and how sorcery takes on many different faces in today’s modern world.

Page of Wands, Pagan Otherworlds Tarot Deck

This reading includes a tarot card reading, the Page of Wands - a channeled message about this card from our guides as well as a post-channeling breakdown and discussion with Venessa.

We end with a mini moon musing about this upcoming New Moon in Scorpio, cosmic influences upon our personal and collective experience, and reflective prompts for this liminal time when the veils are thin.

An excerpt from our channeled message: “...Through these fruiting bodies, deep into the roots and into the vastness, we all have access to all faces of energetic expression, including that which we might deem wicked.

Ep. 200 The Magic of Herbal Alchemy & Art of Spagyrics with Sajah Popham

Photo via @evolutionary_herbalism on Instagram

We have Sajah Popham back on the podcast to talk to us about herbal alchemy & spagyrics! Sajah is author of Evolutionary Herbalism and the founder of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, where he trains herbalists in a holistic system of plant medicine that encompasses clinical western herbalism, medical astrology, Ayurveda, and spagyric alchemy. 

In this episode, we go into what Alchemy is... Sajah breaks down the word, the historical lineage and how it's rooted in the transformational process of nature. 

He tells us how the alchemical tradition really looks at the wholeness of plants, people and the cosmos developing an herbal pharmacy focusing on this wholeness of the body, mind, spirit and soul. Then we go into spagyrics... what they are, how did Sajah first come to study them, and he breaks down the process and art of making spagyrics plus the three philosophical principles that are really the foundation of this tradition. 

We go into how to start helping people with herbal alchemy and spagyrics - we cover the top tools in Sajah’s toolbox to assess people and their herbal needs to match with the most effective remedy and then Sajah walks us through a couple of case studies that are fascinating through the alchemical lens including the best remedies, how he came to them, and the astrological connections. 

There's so much more in this interview as we explore the various ways all of us can reconnect back with our own wholeness and our inner healers.

At the end, Sajah talks about two exciting events: 

(1) His (totally free) Herbal Alchemy training series outlining some of the core principles behind how to practice herbalism according to methods that have been used for thousands of years in medical traditions from around the world.

(2) Sajah’s program offering AND my exclusive bonus with Alchemical Herbalism training program

HERBAL ALCHEMY X AKASHIC INITIATION TRAINING BONUS!

ABOUT ALCHEMICAL HERBALISM PROGRAM:

Like Ayurveda or Chinese Medicine, the Western Alchemical tradition is a complete system of medicine that works with plants to cure diseases of the body, spirit and soul.

While not too many people know much about Alchemy these days, one of the top experts on the subject is my friend Sajah Popham, who’s been practicing both herbal alchemy and clinical herbalism for over 10 years. 

And he’s distilled everything he knows about this powerful practice in his online course, Alchemical Herbalism, which is open for enrollment Wed Oct 27!

This is hands down the most comprehensive herbal training I’ve ever come across, as it integrates clinical herbalism, alchemy and spagyrics, medical astrology, Ayurveda, and western herbalism into a powerful system.

Ep. 199 What is True Holistic Medicine? (Solo)

Photo by my love, me at 25 weeks

What is true “holistic medicine?” This is a very big question that I attempt to (humbly) address in this solo episode. In my experience in the holistic health field over the past decade, I have seen more and more chronic complex cases arise. Folks have done “all the things” and still not seeing “results”. As our world becomes increasingly toxic, and current generations are dealing with compounded traumas and lineages of dis-ease carried through their family line, it’s imperative we support health in a truly holistic way.

In this episode, I cover what holistic medicine is NOT, including a personal story about my mom's journey with breast cancer. We then go into what I believe to be some of the top pillars of holistic medicine including heart medicine, slow medicine, understanding our nature connection, and honoring the WHOLEness of people, plants, and our place in the greater macrocosmic environment. I share examples of various traditions and ways of practicing and receiving holistic medicine, as well as the fundamental principle of spiritual healing and the major role our intuition plays in our own healing process.

I also mention ways to work with plants and herbs holistically, including a chance to learn about alchemy and spagyrics with a free Herbal Alchemy mini-course (links below!).

Ep. 198 Top Insights & Lessons From 300+ Akashic Record Readings in 1.5 Years (Solo)

Photo by my love, me at 25 weeks

In this solo episode, I’m doing a fascinating overview of the top insights, lessons and patterns I observed from over 300+ Akashic Soul Record Readings over the past 1.5 years.

These have been unprecedented times and there have been clear themes that have arisen in my intuitive readings for people since the beginning of our collective journey with COVID & beyond.

As we near the end of 2021, I felt the call to share the most common insights so that all can benefit from the messages sent by our Guides going forward into this seasonal transition and new year.

From transitions & pauses to purification, galactic families, & shifting timelines... we go from micro to macro, mundane to esoteric, minutia to meta! You’ll also hear about the top recommended remedies & practices folks received - some of my faves including altar-making, brain rewiring, flowers & spagyrics.

Ep. 197 OCTOBER :: Akashic Soul Nourishment :: Victory Begins In The Heart

 
Photo by Alyssa Keys Photography
 

About Monthly Soul Nourishment Readings: These readings are usually filled with metaphor & symbols, so may require a bit of unraveling & might mean something different for each person, so pay attention to what comes up for you as you listen on. Hope they provide value and moments of reflection in your journey.

This episode is an Akashic Soul Nourishment reading for October 2021, an intuitively channeled message from the Akashic Records for the month. Our Guides share about the nature of our light body and auric field, and how our energy can be siphoned off... voluntarily and involuntarily. They discuss who is most vulnerable to being a target of energetic appropriation and why it’s paramount to remember how to steward and protect your light.

They share specific steps to support you in this process as well as the critical need to stay “sober” in acts of consumption when traversing the many rabbit holes present right now.

We end with a tarot card reading, the XIX SUN, reversed - a channeled message about this card from our guides as well as a post-channeling breakdown and discussion with Venessa.

An excerpt from our channeled message: “Victory begins in the heart. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and begin there.

Ep. 196 Cultivating Your Uninhibited Queen Voice: Power of Community, Core Beliefs & Creativity with Ashley Burnett

We start this episode with a mini moon musing for this Pisces full moon then go into our interview with our guest - my good friend Ashley Burnett who is back on the podcast. Ashley’s a womxn’s business and leadership coach, dancer, retreat facilitator and nature-based ritualist. She helps change-making entrepreneurs clarify their vision, heighten their income and impact, cultivate Queen confidence and align their businesses with the cycles of nature for sustainable growth, long-term. 

The past two years have been a rollercoaster and continues to be a crucible and even catalyst for so many - forcing us to get clear on our beliefs, what it is we are here to do, how we show up, and reassess our life path and goals. If you feel like you are at a crossroads, you are not alone. I personally have worked with so many who are moved to take a leap into starting their own business or building community, some entering the realms of what we can call entrepreneurship for the first time, for others, perhaps more refinement of a path they already had been called to walk long ago.

In this episode, we reflect upon the past couple of years journeying as a collective with Covid, how this time is requiring us to get creative and for many to be brave and step onto a new path.

We discuss fear, specifically the fear of change, and Ashley walks us through a 6-step process to move through fear and resistance around taking inspired action or moving forward.

Ashley shares how she balances entrepreneurship with mamahood working from home, and her approach to the rhythms of entrepreneurship, moving with the cycles + seasons of nature and honoring the energies - especially rest.

We touch on the Uninhibited Queen archetype - what is it, Ashley’s personal journey with this energy, and the importance of getting clear on your core beliefs and cultivating your confidence & Queen Voice.

Ashley shares what she’s learned about building community and holding space after 20 years of working in groups, retreats, and circles and why a pleasure-based business model is the way to go.

At the end, Ashely talks about two exciting events: 

(1) A (totally free) workshop September 23rd at 11am PST: UNLEASH YOUR IMPACT: 5 Queen Skills to Become a WILDLY Impactful Leader, Increase Your Income, and Constantly Fill Your Transformational Groups & Retreats.

(2) Ashley’s upcoming virtual program Unleash Your Impact PLUS a very special BONUS offer from me if you join us using my link  (Because I love and believe in Ashley’s program so much, I’m including complimentary access to my Feed Your Wild VOICE program that is normally $444 and only open once a year!

Ep. 195 Rooted :: Honoring the Inward Path to Motherhood with Dorothee Sophie Royal

 
 

In this episode, we’re speaking with Dorothee Sophie Royal from the Moonwise podcast and the author of Rooted, a pregnancy journal honoring the inward path to motherhood, which launched in August 2021.

Dorothee shares how she birthed the Rooted journal from her pregnancy experience - a powerful initiation allowing her to explore shadow parts of life, huge transformation, and journey from maiden to mother. She shares how shame drove her curiosity to explore programming and conditioning related to being pregnant, a sexual being, and a woman, opening up a discussion of my own discovery process of programs related to productivity, worth, energy during my own pregnancy journey.

We talk about the greater impact of our dominant culture on the pregnancy, birthing, & motherhood experience and the lack of support, cycles, and rhythms we are meant to experience.

Dorothee shares lots of sage advice, including ways to call in support in an age of isolation, separation and disconnection. She also talks about her journey with postpartum depression, how the seeds were planted during pregnancy, and her intention to heal herself and offer insight for others.

We get super honest and personal in this episode about our respective journeys in pregnancy, and Dorothee drops so many pearls of wisdom I know will be supportive for you and/or loved one you know!

Dorothee Sophie Royal is a writer and media producer, focusing on feminine wisdom, nature connection and motherhood. She is the founder of Moonwise.co and host of the monthly Moonwise podcast. Her new publication Rooted is a pregnancy journal honoring the inward path to motherhood. Dorothee lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and son.

 

Show Notes

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The story behind Rooted and how Dorothee came to birth this journal

  • How Dorothee felt pregnancy was a powerful initiation allowing her to explore shadow parts of life, huge transformation - not just about physical

  • How Dorothee created her own journal during pregnancy because of isolation and wanting to support herself thru the process she was going through

  • How the shame that Dorothee felt drove her curiosity to explore programming and conditioning related to being pregnant, a sexual being, and a woman

  • How kindness, people pleasing, and saying yes often became a hindrance during pregnancy

  • Dorothee’s experience with morning sickness and its connection to negative energy

  • The experience that Venessa and Dorothee had facing shadows regarding productivity, worth, energy, and passage from maiden to mother

  • The greater impact of our dominant culture on the pregnancy, birthing, & motherhood experience, and the lack of support, cycles, and rhythms we are meant to experience

  • Some of the challenges of separation and stress being pregnant and a parent during Covid era

  • Dorothee’s sage advice for calling in support in an age of isolation, separation and disconnection

  • How both Dorothee and Venessa struggled with asking for help

  • How raising a baby is a community effort 

  • How much she needed to be held while she was holding new life

  • Why Dorothee chose the name Rooted

  • Dorothee shares about her journey with postpartum depression, how the seeds were planted during pregnancy, and her intention to heal herself and offer insight for others

  • Dorothee’s experience with inner warriorship and boundaries ushered in by her son’s energy

  • Dancing with the intermingled energies of two beings co-inhabiting one body

  • How to create an altar for the pregnancy, calling in the allies to support this transformation

  • Dorothee’s vision for a Rooted community & the potential medicine of intergenerational support

Quotes from Dorothee in today’s episode:

If we really start to understand what we’re capable of making, then everything changes. Because if you can dream up another being who can survive on their own, and be a sustainable organism that has a life and a liver and an ear and an eye, what else can we make in this world...? We can do anything. That’s the power that we tap into.

If you’re feeling lost or alone or exhausted, it’s not your personal failing. This is actually a systemic issue and we don’t have the support and the deep wells of nourishment that we really need to thrive as parents and community members and people who can nourish ourselves.

The mother really needs to be mothered herself.” 

Rooted mothers make the world bloom.”

Photo by my love, me at 25 weeks

Photo by my love, me at 25 weeks

In this solo episode, I cover astro insights, reflections + influences for this new moon in Virgo, lots of helpful gut-related tips & insights, plus some pretty BIG announcements - both personal and for my work + the podcast…

I'm pregnant! Very pregnant, actually lol

I've just entered my 3rd trimester and our babe is due in December (Sagittarius baby if all goes accordingly 🔥).

In so many ways, I was moving thru one of the most contractive experiences of my life… forcing me to slow down & surrender to what is, all that I don’t know, and honor the mystery beyond the visible horizon.

That’s when this firebird spirit came in, and began teaching me lessons about myself I am finally ready to receive. It truly is one of the most humbling, exhilarating, exhausting, and awe-inspiring experiences co-creating with this special spirit!

And it has just begun…

As a solopreneur, this means there are some pretty big changes to my work with Wildly Rooted and the podcast, and I discuss this in this episode.

You’ll also hear about Feed Your Wild Gut - a program that was birthed from my own challenges with chronic gut issues… it’s the culmination of years of “figuring it out” with research, testing, functional nutrition, herbs, energetics, and soul-level healing.

You have a powerful role to play in this new world. In order to do so, you MUST tend to your body, your heart, your energy, and your GUT!

That’s why I created my upcoming program Feed Your Wild GUT... a self-paced immersive online experience that provides a truly holistic approach to healing the gut. It’s designed to support healers, helpers, & change-makers cultivate wild harmony in the gut so you can build resilience, boost vitality, and connect with your intuition & personal power for radical transformation.

If you’re interested in joining us, read more below & click the link to register! (Doors close this week Sept 10th)…

 

AN IMMERSIVE PROGRAM FOCUSING ON HEALING THE WILD TERRAIN OF GUT HEALTH ON A BODY, MIND, & SOUL LEVEL…

FUEL THE FIRE IN YOUR BELLY TO CULTIVATE FOUNDATIONAL HEALTH & VITALITY, INTUITIVE CONNECTION, & RADICAL TRANSFORMATION FOR YOU & THE WORLD.

In Feed Your Wild Gut, together we explore the physiological, mystical, multidimensional and powerful nature of your gut— aka the Gatekeeper.

From functional nutrition & herbal medicine to energy healing + clearing, microbiome tending to soul reclamation, Feed Your Wild Gut offers a balanced blend of science, natural therapies & intuitive + energetic approaches.

Who is this program for?

Wild-hearted helpers, healers, creative change-makers who experience physical symptoms like chronic digestive challenges, low energy, anxiety, brain fog, etc. that are holding you back...

Ep. 193 SEPTEMBER :: Akashic Soul Nourishment :: Your Song of Revolution

 
Photo by Alyssa Keys Photography
 

About Monthly Soul Nourishment Readings: These readings are usually filled with metaphor & symbols, so may require a bit of unraveling & might mean something different for each person, so pay attention to what comes up for you as you listen on. Hope they provide value and moments of reflection in your journey.

This episode is an Akashic Soul Nourishment reading for September 2021, an intuitively channeled message from the Akashic Records for the month. Our Guides share about the revolution that is upon us - personal and collective - and invite you to tune in and connect with the power of your unique song. 

They share the multi-layered meaning of “revolution” and bring awareness to the internal and external forces that attempt to drown out your song to prevent you from fully realizing your own power. Speaking of power - our Guides touch on the misunderstanding of power, the misuse of the human mind, and the derangement inherent in dogma.

An excerpt from our channeled message:

Power is not about coercion or domination. Power is clarity of mind, sight, heart. Do not fear power - your own power. Reclaiming your own power is part of the revolution...

 

A Holistic Approach to Greater Resilience, Intuitive Connection, & Personal Power

Sign up to watch - Masterclass opens Sept. 1 at 9am PST!

Here's what you'll learn in this exclusive training:

  • What is the "soul-gut-immune axis" and why it's critical that you tend to your wild GUT right NOW

  • The exact 6-step framework I used for my own personal gut healing

  • The Essential Pillars of Immunity + Gut health

  • Top foods & herbs for supporting gut health immunity & energetics

  • The #1 thing that reversed my IBS, rebalanced my gut-brain connection & boosted resilience

Ep. 192 Your Gut, Immunity, & Sanity :: Hello Virgo Season

Photo by Alyssa Keys Photography

Photo by Alyssa Keys Photography

In this solo episode, we’re diving into health-related themes connected to Virgo season: your gut, immunity, & sanity. In a time where so many are experiencing personal “dark night of the souls” amidst collective intensity, it’s important we remember the wisdom of our bodies, our connection to the changing seasons, and anchor into nourishing practices that support our bodies on all levels. When our gut and bodies (physical, mental, emotional, energetic) are taken care of, we have the resilience and internal resources to navigate challenging experiences and the connection to intuition that guides our way.

I cover astro insights + influences for Virgo season as it relates to health, immunity from an Ayurvedic and ecological perspective, & how to cultivate a healthy gut, immune system and maintain sanity in these intense times. I share some of my favorite herbs, remedies and practices for Virgo and your gut-immune axis, as well as general immune supportive tips for this transitional season to boost your resilience against viral infection.

I also talk about my upcoming free masterclass where I go over these topics in-depth - check it out below and sign up to learn more!

Ep. 190 AUGUST :: Akashic Soul Nourishment :: Who/What is Directing Your Vibration? Working with This Month’s Frequencies

 
 

About Monthly Soul Nourishment Readings: These readings are usually filled with metaphor & symbols, so may require a bit of unraveling & might mean something different for each person, so pay attention to what comes up for you as you listen on. Hope they provide value and moments of reflection in your journey.

This message from our Guides describes the paradox that we live in... that “Home” is both everywhere and nowhere. They describe the varying levels of consciousness and how there are real forces, mostly unseen, that have and continue to influence our vibrational set point. The key to establishing discernment and sovereignty over our choices and consciousness is to deeply connect with our Selves again.

Our Guides illuminate that this is a time of great change, not just upon our world, but for many beyond the veils of what we know and can imagine, and describe Earth’s role in this larger process... 

An excerpt from our channeled message:

This month offers an opportunity to consciously engage with powerful frequencies that can serve to assist in the raising of one’s own consciousness, and work in a field of energy that opens up memory banks long held dormant.” 

They cover how August 8, known as the Lion’s Gate Portal, provides a unique window to connect with our essential Selves, and offer ways to engage in this energy, especially in the first 2 weeks of this month.

Ep. 189 Astrology as a Language :: Reimagining Your Life & History Thru a Postcolonial Magickal Lens with Alice Sparkly Kat

 
 

In the intro, you’ll hear some updates on the Feed Your Wild podcast and about a new 90 Day Akashic Mentorship: the Intuitive Healing Mentorship for Practitioners and Healers!

In this episode, we’re speaking with Brooklyn-based astrologer Alice Sparkly Kat, aka Ace, and author of Post-Colonial Astrology. Their book offers an advanced look into politicized astrological history and application, and offers an explicitly queer, PoC and intersectional lens. 

Astrology is an intersectional, political and magickal language with a cross-cultural history that informs our relationships to the planets. Exploring the origins of any system, such as astrology, is important in understanding how those very systems influence our experience and relationships.

In this chat, we explore astrology as a language, and how the reshaping of astrology as a language can reshape our experience and relationship to the cosmos and their influence upon our lives. We cover how to reframe your relationship with astrology and switching from a fatalistic/victim lens to a more empowering stance. We talk about why it’s easy for people to accept unseen forces at work such as cell phones and internet communication, but have a challenging time “believing” in astrology.

Ace shares how they reconcile a postcolonial astrological framework with the more casual, pop, and less obviously political approach to astrology that’s popular within the mainstream. We also get into personal reflections, including my personal Gemini north node experience and Ace’s spot-on reflections. Ace has good advice for budding astrologers and astrology enthusiasts that are relevant in these emergent times.

Show Notes

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How Alice Sparkly Kat (Ace) got into astrology through their unique lens

  • Astrology as a language, and how language is an organizing tool

  • How the reshaping of astrology as a language can reshape our experience and relationship to the cosmos and their influence upon our lives

  • What Ace means when they say people have a kinky relationship to astrology

  • How to reframe your relationship with astrology and switching from a fatalistic/victim lens to a more empowering stance

  • Why it’s easy for people to accept unseen forces at work such as cell phones and internet communication, but have a challenging time “believing” in astrology

  • How Ace reconciles a postcolonial astrological framework with the more casual, pop, and less obviously political approach to astrology that’s popular within the mainstream

  • Why use Western astrology if it developed in complicity with colonialism and how no astrology is universal

  • What it looks like to work to destroy astrology as we practice it

  • How Ace relates to astrology in a way that’s useful and supportive for them

  • How we can learn to recognize how oppression infiltrates our own thinking

  • How Western astrology works well for describing pain because of its origin in colonialism

  • My personal Gemini north node experience and Ace’s spot-on reflections

  • Ace’s advice for budding astrologers and astrology enthusiasts

There’s a huge difference, I think, between a language that’s created and distributed by institution and language that’s created thru play.” ~ Alice Sparkly Kat

In this episode, we’re speaking with licensed marriage, family therapist, Anjuli Sherin, M.A., LMFT, author of Joyous Resilience: A Path to Individual Healing and Collective Thriving in an Inequitable World. Anjuli shares what “joyous resilience” means to her and why she intentionally focused on bringing joy in healing at the forefront. Anjuli shares her personal story of healing, moving through layers of trauma and how she found her voice. She highlights how supportive group therapy was in her own experience and how powerful it was to watch the magic of people coming alive which drew her to becoming a healing practitioner herself. 

Anjuli breaks down the “cycle of suffering” and the “circle of resilience” models, how she got inspired to write about it, and how it helps folks in building resilience. We discuss the various roles that Anjuli has identified we all have within us and that each have a specific voice. I also share a bit of my personal experience with “the neglector” and as a reformed people pleaser. Anjuli talks about the various kinds of critic that can show up, the internal voice that destroys the sense of self, and the importance of connecting with what she calls the “vulnerable self,” helping us to discern between the various voices we carry - which are actually supportive versus hurtful.

She also talks about how to express anger in a healthy way and how to tell when the anger is “unhealthy.” We also touch on the rage and grief that is pervasive, how to honor it in a healthy way and channel it thru actions in our lives.

Finally, Anjuli shares what centering joy as a practice in life looks like for her and how to sustain it during challenging times. Anjuli has a gift of 9 meditations for listeners, click the links below to learn more!
