The Crone's Nest

I have been unlocking and allowing myself to "come out from hiding" regarding my artistic and digital art. Trauma as a child can do damage to our sensitive "ego" that is supposed to express, try, do, take risks and "show up." It can inhibit our ability to express our true, authentic selves and thus our "gifts" that one is born with, may lay dormant, locked inside. My experience some years ago working with medicinal plants as healers, specifically mushrooms, transformed my inner world. So much could be said regarding the power they hold for being able to step back and away from the trauma, perceive and see it in a healthier and much different manner and viewpoint.
Since that time, I not only healed on deep and profound levels, I also have had the side benefit of unlocking creativity, it has transformed my inner world!
A couple days ago I drew the photo on the left. It is not finished, just a sketch. Yesterday, while showering some of my hair came out, so I stuck it on the shower wall until I got out. I didn't want it down the drain I have long hair and it will clog it. When I went to clean it off, I was stuck by the image my strands of hair created. Look at these pictures side-by-side, how crazy is it that they look alike? "As within, so without." Anyone seeing this? 🤔😁🤣

"Being witnessed is essential to our humanity, our growth, and our ability to move past the trauma that we have survived. If astrology does its job, it offers a mirror in which we see both our best selves and our growth edges." Chani Nicholas-Author, Astrologer.

Overcoming childhood trauma is not a "one-time" process. It is a series of small, consistent, and vital movements toward identifying the root causes to then begin healing. Your current situation and mental unease are a result of not knowing how to cure yourself. The triggers keep you in loops of frustration and powerlessness. Your natal chart is a treasure map, and when read and understood, it reveals your karmic story, current incarnation blessings, opportunities, and how to best navigate our earthen home.
I will be beginning a series on the archetype LILITH and where and how trauma and abuse are seen through her placements in the natal chart. I will also discuss some remedies one can take to process, assimilate, and then release stored traumas.
I will begin the series with an overview of the archetype LILITH and use my own chart and childhood background that relates to the trauma and s*xual abuse I experienced as a child.
The concentration in this study will include the mathematical point within a chart (not a planet) of Black Moon Lilith, along with the Asteroid Lilith ( #1181). I use her meaning and insights as a tool for self-discovery and healing from the misappropriated masculine energy (not necessarily male). Sidenote* Astrology defines masculine and feminine modes of being when expressing our true nature, not necessarily related to body parts or gender.
I look forward to sharing with you my own research in hopes that those who also have experienced childhood trauma, specifically s*xual abuse trauma, will find hope, support, insights, tips, and, ultimately, release and healing. Stay tuned for the first presentation in my series.
Here is my work with my co-podcaster, Anthony, that we did on Lilith last year. We hope to have a follow-up video to this one as we both have continued our research, grown, and evolved in our understanding of her. I hope it provides some insights to you. See below.
**TRIGGER warning on Lilith video-ground yourself before listening. It is ADULT material, so be sure no children are around. Also, in our podcasts, I open with the (then) current astrological movements and tips for navigating. You can fast-forward to the start of the Lilith piece by fast-forwarding to the 20.00-minute mark in the video.

The year of the Dragon in Chinese astrology occurs every 12 years. The most recent year of the Dragon was in 2012, and the next one is now 2024. Those born in the year of the Dragon are said to be confident, independent, and passionate individuals. They are also believed to be innovative, brave, and have a strong sense of responsibility. Each year in the Chinese zodiac is associated with an animal sign and has its own unique characteristics and symbolism.

Burning the last of 2023 from my aura.

🌟🆕️🎆💛Happiest of Happy New Year, from our home to yours. May your coming year be filled with clarity, strength, and the determination to rise in your authentic nature. Risk being seen!!!!
2023 was one of our most challenging years as a couple and also, the most rewarding. Words like "bend, be mutable, stretch, serve, patience, wait, lean into it," echoed our halls in our hearts and home. We saw our physical home of eight years be deconstructed and taken away. It was a year of spending in ways unanticipated due to building new home. As Pluto transited and sat on our 4th house cusp of home in both our charts, we felt the destruction of unearthing what lay hidden (our water pipes), and the need of repair. Had we not built the new home, we would of missed this and most likely further damage would of ensued. We lived in the studio in 450 sq ft for seventy days (crazy esoteric number!), with our two dogs and three cats. We have reduced, revisited, restructured this past year. We have had to close a chapter to prepare for yet another new one. These themes also are the themes in astrology within the sign of Scorpio, and the planets Mars, and Pluto. I have traced our karmic connections within our natal chart synastry and see our astral intentions and well as earthy. We are both 1st house Scorpio Ascendants, so the blueprint of the house placements and signs therein, are all the same. We gel where it matters, and also have potential to very destructive evolutionary growth through the sting of the Scorpion tail. We are both here to transmute these energies as anyone born Scorpio Ascendant is. We are so grateful for our communities and we look forward to connecting and growing together throughout 2024. Thank you, each of you for not giving up, it's been a challenging year. Here's to 2024, let's go and build a more beautiful, tolerant and accepting, supporative community. Together, we can do more! We love you all! Please share below about your year we look forward to reading your comments. 🌟🫶

Hello To All! I hope you had a good festive season and that the Full Moon in Cancer was especially meaningful; I know it was for me. My hands and heart were very busy with the full-time care of three young grandchildren (4, 6, 10) while they were on Christmas break. I look forward to deeper engagement in 2024 as we continue our healing journey through shadow work, mental health topics, astrology, and digital creation. I will continue to highlight the area of mental health and how we should consider the whole body when healing and releasing trauma.
This post addresses mental health and questions one should consider when visiting a mental health professional. Before I list them, I wanted to share the core principles of Naturopathy that I believe in concerning overall wellness.
1. First, do no harm.
2. The healing power of nature.
3. Find the root cause.
4. The doctor is the teacher.
5. Treat the whole person.
6. Prevention.
I am not anti-medication for temporarily aiding someone with their mental health. I fully understand that there are legitimate needs for some individuals to be on mental health pharmaceuticals due to actual brain injuries that have been identified, defined, and proven through brain scans and extensive testing. However, when I talk with individuals about their life challenges and doctor visits, I am told that they have never had a brain scan or deeper, more modern testing that can actually show where, how, and why the brain centers light up and are triggered. How the prescribed medication affects your brain centers. Almost all who are on mental health pharmaceuticals to regulate their mental health have not gotten a brain scan. The diagnosis is made from a protocol mainstream system designed to justify why you need to be on medication. I know this because I am studying for my doctorate in naturopathic psychology. In my program, I have, and am still learning, the mainstream procedures for diagnosing mental health challenges, as well as how naturopathy approaches these challenges. You have a right to ask your mental health professional how they determined to prescribe a certain medicine and their justification for doing so.
Here are some valid questions to consider:
1. Are you aware of the side effects of your current pharmaceutical medicines your mainstream-approved medical doctor is prescribing for your mental wellness?
2. Did your mainstream-approved doctor ask about your diet, sleeping habits, exercise routine, relationships, hobbies, internet use and patterns, s*xual activity, and what you like to watch, read, and listen to?
3. Do you feel heard and understood by your mental health doctor?
4. Did your doctor talk about the "end-game" and plan to gradually wean off of prescribed pharmaceuticals?
5. Has your doctor told you that you will need to be on these for your entire life?
6. Did your doctor share and explain how the body's internal systems, known as energy points, wheels, and chakras, operate? And how can you learn to work with them for optimum mental health?
7. Furthermore, that these chakras are intelligent and capable of maintaining and regulating your mental and physical health?
8. Did your doctor educate you about how your mental health is directly tied to many other areas of your body, directly from your thoughts and what you habitually ruminate on?
9. Did you know that all, yes all, chemically man-made, pimped-out for-profit mental wellness pharmaceuticals have side effects that are negative to the human system and can interfere with the regulation of internal systems?
10. Did you know that prolonged use of these man-made chemicals alters the internal bodily systems' balance and equilibrium?
11. Did you know that only licensed and mainstream-approved "doctors" can prescribe, monitor, and administer these medicines?
12. Have you looked closely at the psychiatric medical programs of the top 5 universities and colleges in America and their requirements to be a mental health doctor?
13. Have you "followed the money" that directly connects doctors and pharmaceutical companies for profit and bribes concerning pharmaceuticals? Chemotherapy?
14. Has your doctor asked about your genetics and ancestry beyond "Did your mother/father have heart issues, i.e., heart attack...questions?
15. Did your doctor draw your blood and use the deeper blood panel test that reveals exactly how your body is or is not lacking in certain vitamins or minerals that is ESSENTIAL for maintaining a healthy body and sound mind?
16. Did your doctor talk with you about the dangers of using certain herbal remedies in conjunction with your pharmaceuticals?
17. Have you looked into Naturopathy?
18. Have you considered learning how to self-regulate the body for optimum wellness without dangerous pharmaceuticals?
19. Do you know that you hold all the power for your mental wellness?
20. Has your doctor taught you about your internal power to maintain and regulate your mental health?
21. Did you know that within you lay a network of genetic memory and "knowingness" on any bodily and mental concern you have?
22. Do you know how to tap it?
23. Did you know your astrological natal chart holds keys, codes, and clues to your mental health and wellness?

I have a Scorpio Neptune on my Ascendant 🌠☄️ and Jupiter in my 6th house in Aries. We will go the distance. I welcome you my Hero to this space in internet land. We got this.
Trauma can cause so much loss but for me it was the loss of family and community thus, a stable suppport system and someone "welcoming me home." I had to learn how to parent myself. Find my worth within, not without. It was brutal to be honest. I look forward to finally allowing my story to unfold digitally and creatively in hopes to help others who also have, and currently know the loss of a supporative family.
I am cheering for you!

**Trigger warning-This video reviews my own natal chart Yod aspect whereby I discuss childhood trauma and abuse.

This video from my YouTube channel covers a challenging mathematical aspect within the astrology natal chart known as "The Yod" or "The Finger of God."
The Yod astrological aspect creates what is known as an equilateral triangle consisting of three different planets (actors), three different signs (costumes), and three different houses (stage or setting). There are two 150-degrees known as "Inconjuncts" and one 60-degree at the base known as a "Sextile" holding them together. This harmonious aspect creates a bridge and exchange of energies.

Love this! Eat better, feel better. There is a direct correlation between poor diet and mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, fatigue, and lack of s*x drive to name a few.

Say “YUM” if you would eat this 2-ingredient Spinach Wrap 😋👌 To make it: Blend 2 cups of spinach with 4 eggs. Add salt and pepper to taste. Grease a parchment lined baking sheet. Spread your mix thinly until completely covered & bake @ 350F for 15-20 minutes. Take it out, cut each wrap to your desired size, add your favorite fillings, roll it up & enjoy 🙌 By the way.. You can also fry these in a non stick skillet, just pour thinly and cook on medium low for a few mins & flip.

Blessed Be! Part I, (see vid in Part 2), I am taking consultations and would love to guide you through what 2024 has in store for you concerning your topic or question of choice in regard to your astrological transits. I am available for on-site appointments after Jan 5th. I am excited to be offering SKYPE and ZOOM consultations as well. Drop me a line @gmail.com and let chat about your potentials and opportunties for 2024 energies.

Shadow Work: HEKATE-The Dark Mother-The Serving Wound, Hosts The Crone's Nest and Virginia Pagans

“Astrology is marked by the search for meaning in the sky, amongst the stars and planets and in the sun and moon. It deals with the effects of the heavenly bodies, their role as divine messengers, as seasonal markers and heralds of night or day, and the dangers of darkness and the liberation that comes with the dawn. It presents the sky as a source of awe, wonder and meaning, as a sacred canopy which shelters the earth below.”
— Nicholas Campion

**Trigger Warning**
Blessed be to all! We have finished moving into the new house and are finally feeling a bit more settled in. I look forward to reconnecting and sharing more of my own creative content and teachings surrounding mental health and wellness through the lens of naturopathic healing modalities.
It is said in astrology that to attune your body, mind, and soul to a new location one needs to sit under all of the 12 monthly Moon cycles that occur within the year. Once the final Moon has been received, processed, and completed then the person is said to be attuned to the new energy lines that lay upon the soil, in the sky, next to, and across from the surrounding neighbors. In our case, we removed our old home and had a new one built so we are on the same land. However, the home is in a different location and not the same size so it is occupying some different energy lines, and wow can I sense them! With the Sun/Mars in Scorpio conjunction (occurring November 5th) and as a Scorpio Ascendant (1st house) I am pumped up and infused with new energy and vision to move my body forward. More on that in the future as the Sun and Mars are encouraging me to begin a new series on my YouTube channel on how the natal chart can be utilized for insight, guidance, and inner healing from childhood traumas, especially s*xual traumas. I will begin this series with a very personal video detailing my own experiences with s*xual childhood trauma and in**st through the lens of my natal chart.
Thank you for joining me as we learn and discuss our unique journies, challenges, and triumphs from Maiden, Mother, to Crone through embracing all the seasons of our divine feminine energy.
If you are interested in Astrology and gaining a better understanding of your own chart then please join me! Stay tuned here for updates, creative projects, and free-will offerings to better understand your natal chart energy signatures.
When looking at the natal chart it is important to understand your own personal aspects that fall within the wheel and are unique to you. Aspects refer to the angular relationship between two planets, points, or sensitive areas in the chart. These aspects are measured by the number of degrees that separate them (0, 60, 90, 120.....). Aspects can provide valuable insights into the dynamics between different planetary energies and how they may influence an individual personality, relationships, and life experiences.
