You will be dropped into a lush & eternal soundscape… & shown a series of evocative images… All of us will see the same things, yet emerge with different stories..or spells…
What messages will we find there?
Oracle! Story! Art! Play !
I can’t wait for this one, y’all. If you’ve joined me in the past for a Holy Shadow Sacred Society & Oracle Club you might have a sense of what I have in store…
(Links sent via email to paid subscribers & ticketed folx about a week in advance & the morning of the gathering. )
Things I’ve removed from the kitten’s mouth since sitting down to write this newsletter:
Half of a thumbtack, an American cheese wrapper (origins unknown), a screw, a tube of toothpaste… (& he is currently attempting to get inside the box fan…)
We’ll see you soon!
