✨ The Man They Told Me to Fear

Closing the Sacred Door of 2025 & Lighting the Way Into 2026

✨ October Reflections — The Alchemy of Truth
October was a month I’ll never forget. For the entire month, I worked at the Salem Psychic Fair — every Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, about thirty hours a week holding sacred space for seekers from around the world.

There are moments on this path when the spiral of life brings you back to where it all began — not to repeat the past, but to rewrite the ending. This Samhain, as I step into Laurie Cabot’s legendary Witches’ Ball crowned in gold and crimson, I am not simply attending an event. I am…
