If we want something in our lives to change, we have to be willing to change. If we want to see clearly, we have to be willing to see what is uncomfortable. If we want to impact the world around us, we must be willing to change the world within us. We can't keep doing what we've always done. It's time to change the game. Reach out to Eryn!

This episode is not flowery, it is not full of information, or education, or mythology. This episode is from the dying embers of the battlefield, the realm of the Phantom Queen, the place where there are no winners and losers, only lost souls that find themselves in the arms of a guiding power.

Please help me support Beck Lawrence, owner of The Serpent's Key, as she courageously endures discrimination from local law enforcement based on outdated Pennsylvania laws. We may never change the perception of the powerful, those who make and enforce the laws, but we can continue to stand on our virtue because of who we are, together. Reach out to Eryn!

My relationship with the wild continues to teach me about being a mother, a partner, a friend. I am learning how to be clear and direct. How to prioritize my own instincts and needs, and how to trust them. May we find our way back to our wild selves. Reach out to Eryn! Support the show

You have heard of the law of attraction, the system of belief that ensures us we can use our thoughts to quickly manifest the life of our dreams. I look back over my own life and can see the truth of how I have manifested the life we have today, and to me, this has been through the Law of Increments. Little changes, diligently made and prioritized, over long periods of time, have led our family to a place of great peace, beauty, simplicity, and joy. In this episode I share a lo...

"Suck me dry you uptight fakers...." I look around at people who seem like husks, sucked dry, exhausted from following the rules created by power-hungry automatons. People who have lost their wildness, and are withering away. These lyrics from the song Better in the Morning by Birdtalker have perfectly captured that feeling of being sucked dry by people who are rigid, uptight, feigning perfection, while smouldering a dark shadowy longing for wildness inside themselves (and destroying it outs...

Our current evolution of consciousness is asking us to examine and re-evaluate the importance we have given to the construct of currency. Does money really reflect what we collectively value? Or has this human construct sort of run away with us? What is the true nature of currency, and how has it become misconstrued through our current trajectory of centralizing power? Some more resources that I recommend in the episode: Sacred Economics by Charles EisensteinThe Soul of Money by Lynne...
In this week's podcast episode, I offer you a challenge. Can you begin to shift into a shamanic worldview? Can you begin to live into the experience of entering the Otherworld, even as you walk through this one? Can you awaken to the reality that you are surrounded by sentient beings who see you, know you, and interact with you in ways that we have forgotten how to participate with? I hope you will take on my challenge this week, and enter the portals all around you. I would love to hear you...
As humans we have many ways of knowing, some more celebrated than others. In this week's podcast episode, we explore what has been called "shamanic consciousness" which is a way of knowing that is universal to all people, ancient, essential to life, and rarely esteemed or celebrated in modern culture. The plants exist in this type of consciousness, and emit this field of consciousness, in ways that are very helpful to us as humans. Tune in this week for some tips and suggestions on wor...
