Collective messages are prose poems that can be used as creative inspiration, spiritual guidance, or for entertainment purposes. They are based on a set of cards, runes, and numbers I pull intuitively every Wednesday.
Below you will find the message in text format. Audio format will be available on the website. If you’d like to receive the message more deeply, try reading and listening simultaneously!
These messages are timeless, which means they are relevant to whenever you feel drawn to them.
If you don’t find any resonance here, feel free to survey past messages. If you are seeking guidance, there may be something there for you!
The song of your heart will heal the world.
It all started, perhaps, with seeking yourself. Yourself—that is what they promised you would find. That is what you thought you wanted. So, you took the leap, and you fell, and you did not find what you figured you would.
Nothing was there.
That space is the Holy Chasm, waiting with wonder to be filled.
Make no mistake: when chains of the past slide away from your sweet wrists, you will lose your footing. Every ship needs an anchor, love, and an anchor too heavy is not any worse than no anchor at all.
What now? The inquiry bubbles up from your soul, an unwelcome guest come to haunt the house.
Lean into the ghosts that haunt you. Poetry slumbers in their hands, aching to have life breathed into it. The ghost presses a sleeping poem on your lips, that it might become animate, that it might become an elixir.
An elixir, love, for what ails you.
I know it hurts. It hurts to look at the world within, no more or less than it hurts to look at the world around.
But at this stage, love, it hurts more to look away. That feeling of your chest filled with glass shards, each the shape and weight of a different story, is a call to action.
Pull the shards out. It will hurt, until it doesn’t.
If you try to carry the whole world, it will break you. Let it break you. Let it grind you down until you become sand, swept away by the ocean to become stone again—perhaps even a pearl.
Only time will tell what you will be.
For certain, you will not be the same.

Astrological Oracle
Aquarius
Always on the cutting edge, Aquarius brings vision and imagination to any situation. While usually open minded, there can be a tendency to be insensitive to others if they are not willing to be as avant-garde or eccentric. Aquarius leads the way toward the future, but can be distant and detached in the present.
