Hello beautiful reader,

As always, I hope you have been tending and fortifying well. Amidst ever-changing skies, and perhaps as cathartic and emotive as this Scorpio full moon was for me, it was for you, I am reminded that every garden is also a grave. As Taurus is ruled by Venus, the Empress in the Tarot, and Scorpio becomes Death in the Tarot, we are reminded of the power required of embodiment. The Empress brings us to our bodies, toward sensuality and somatic intelligence. She connects us to our roots and Heaven as a garden where love blooms brilliantly.

With this constellation I am reminded of Mary of Clopas, one of the three Mary’s present at the crucifixion. It is in the soul’s feminine flesh that the resilience to stay present is found. She knows the sacred gifts to bring to the mysteries of death, descent and eventual resurrection. From the Empress to Death, from Taurus to Scorpio season, from the Scorpio full moon at the heart of Taurus season and the Taurus moon within Scorpio season is tableau of the birth to death cycle. May we join with those who know how to anoint the dead and bless the new born babes.

I am writing you with several updates.

This episode dropped for Beltane 2026, MAY DAY, and I was joined in conversation with Amour Lynx, Granddaughter Crow and Patty Krawec to talk about imaginative fantasies as tools of hope, worms, our stories as umbilical cords, the gardener as futurist and community as remedy to the weight of survival mode.

We recorded this to kick off the Missing Witches yearly reparations fundraiser!

Every year my beloved Missing Witches, their coven, and extended Witch community spend the month of May joyfully raising money for Indigenous support orgs (especially the Native Women's Shelter of Montreal!) and gathering together with magical friends to spotlight Indigenous voices through conversations about Indigenous Futures.

Listen below:

Then consider

Patty encourages listeners to join the fundraiser by donating to PAYYOURRENT.CA - collecting funds from people living on stolen land and disbursing them to Indigenous people.

Amanda suggests donating to the Sierra Club - Protect the Lakes From a Devastating Oil Spill and Support Anishinabe Nations. AND the We Matter Campaign.

As always, GDC recommends discovering and getting involved in your local community. Find the First Nations of your native land.

And I suggest donating to the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women. AND Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP) in San Diego.

I am truly grateful for this vocation and to have a practice centered on liberation, trauma counseling, and the power of eros: its fulfillment, its healing and its authority. With the tools of divination we will conjure love in the chorus of all who proclaim liberation grounded in relation, collectivity and the still-possible.

Lastly, I am excited to be hosting next paid subscriber exclusive event, my Solarium series, utilizing beehiiv’s webinar feature. 🐝

This event is a perk exclusive to paid subscribers of any tier, where each season I offer a communal divination as well as gallery readings for any subscriber has a specific question they’d like to pose to the cards.

If you’ve ever had a reading or class with me, you know I will often lead clients into my psychic greenhouse. Arched opening to a dewy sanctuary filled with lush greenery. Ladybugs and butterflies abound. A fountain flows as we take our seats, honor the four directions, cut our cards and consult the oracle.

Bloom well darling. Talk to you soon.
