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 both audio and text format. 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!
You have seen it.
You have seen the glowing creatures with their silvery voices, bearing visions of a world to be.
Enraptured by the promise of this world to be, you let your eyes become drunk on the nectar of possibility.
You have seen it, and you have turned away.
Now you gaze upon a warped world with eyes mutated by that dizzying elixir of dreams.
Everything looks like hell now, for you know now what everything could be.
Everything looks like hell now, everything but that realm—that realm of the world to be.
You turned away because of what they told you, those glowing creatures with their silvery voices, offering nectar, asking to be eaten.
They tried to put the blueprint in your hands, and you turned away.
I don’t want to be the one to make it be, you said.
And they said, you are the only one who can.
No two visions are seen quite at the same angle, though some say we only look upon one world.
Each vision given is a gift carefully stitched by Otherworldly hands to give one genius out of many.
There are as many visions as there are eyes, and yet, not all of them are open.
You turned away, but you kept your eyes open. While you weren’t looking, they pressed the blueprint into your hands, and you felt the burning burden of one who cannot help but keep their eyes open.
You must be the one to make it be—that holy curse called purpose.
You are the only one who can.

Astrological Oracle
Pisces
Dreamy Pisces swims within the waters of perceptive imagination and psychic gifts. Sometimes more interested in what could be than what is. Pisces may reject reality completely, turning to addictions and wishful thinking to avoid harsh situations. Strongly spiritual, Pisces can be turned back toward the world through faith and hope.
Sol
At the heart of the zodiac is Sol, the sun. Sol is the source of warmth, strength, and growth. As the most constant celestial body, in astrological terms the sun represents that which is most constant in ourselves, the power of the personality. The strongest single influence on the astrological chart, the light of Sol reveals the essential self. Beyond the everyday expression of the individual, Sol also brings understanding of the soul’s cosmic purpose. Who you are, at your core, and who you are meant to be are strongly influenced by where the Sun falls in your chart. In this oracle, pay special attention to Sol’s position and accompanying cards, as they can bring enlightened understanding of the path that leads to your greatest happiness.
Sun in Pisces: Keep the fire of faith alive within you.

Support my upcoming pilgrimage!
I will be travelling to Ireland, to learn and walk and pray and sing to the holy soil with a group of multifaith pilgrims for 17 days next month.
8 of these days will be spent walking along an ancient pilgrim's path, walked in full for the first time since the Bronze Age by Jeremy Schewe and his dear ones only a few short months ago.
I'm requesting financial support from within and beyond my community.
I am calling on the fellow poets. The weirdos. The wanderers.
The ones who were taken by fairies but managed to come back with more than just a little magic for the rest of us.
I am calling on you to support this journey so that I can keep serving the poetic voice of humanity.
So that I can continue to serve you.
I leave in just over 6 weeks.
