a devotion
This is a call.
It’s time to devote a year to your core mystical Work.
Drape your shawl across your shoulders, fill your basket with your divination tools, oils, and brews, and gather for a year of deep mystical focus.
The Core is an intimate circle of 6 committed mystics (plus me) who will dive deeper than ever into the depth of their mystical Work.

How
- KV channel: You will be in my “field” for the year. This means I commit to tracking your mystical patterns, partnerships, and evolution while you are in The Core. Specifically, I will track your astrological chart, offer tarot readings, and direct my channel specifically for your growth and evolution. I will share my findings and insights with you regularly. You and your 5 Core sisters will have direct “transmissions” from me as the Work comes through.
- Year-Long Archetype: You will align with one primary archetype for the full year to guide you throughout the sacred seasons, exploring the alchemy that occurs when she combines with the archetype of each season and when she doubles up during her own season. This will be a devotional relationship. You will present your experience of working with her via creative & expressive art or ritual at our monthly gatherings.
- Archetype Attunement Sessions: Begin the year with a 90 minute one-on-one divination session with me. Our goal will be to identify your primary archetypal ally for the year, the one you will be devoted to. Then, you & I will have a 30 minute Attunement Call 8 times throughout the year to help you understand the alchemy of the current season combined with your devotional archetype.
- Divination tools: You will commit to building a relationship and fluency with a specific, personal set of divination tools that resonate with you (oracle cards, astrology, stone medicine, dream work, etc.) for the year in order to hone your skills sets and deepen your Work. You will use these tools for your own insight, as well as with your Core sisters, on a consistent basis. You will bring these tools to every class to include them and juice them up on our altar and in nature, so you’ll want a special bag or basket to carry them.
- Shawls: You will wear a shawl (your “wisdom keeper’s mantle”) at each monthly gathering to symbolize your commitment to your Work and Wisdom.
- Ritual: We will gather in sacred space once a month, just the seven of us. I will craft an interactive ritual in my usual fashion. You will also receive a ritual kit for a solo holy day ritual.
- Work sisters: each month you will partner with a different member of The Core circle for divination practice, light support & accountability, and connection. You will offer her a minimum of one divination session to each other during that month.
- Case Studies: After Samhain 2021, you will log 8 case studies where you offer divination to people beyond the Core circle.
