Sometimes when things don’t go as we would like them to, we sink into sadness and disappointment. We may call it facing reality. The truth from the Soul’s perspective is that all is as it should be for us to learn lessons.

Situations test our limits, deepen our awareness and compassion for ourselves and others, invite us to create boundaries and to ask for what we need. Yes, all very uncomfortable stuff.

The truth is that many of us have to be “really” uncomfortable to actually take an action. Creating ease is not about not working, laying back with drinks and kissing all day long. It can be about embracing change and growth in a way that allows us to flow rather than fight it.

If you want more communication, GIVE more communication.
If you want more love, give more LOVE.
If you want SUPPORT, don’t be afraid to ASK for it.
If one avenue closes, don’t stand there weeping too long…give thanks and know there is a reason. Turn around for there is another opening before you!

When we remember that we are ALL IN THIS TOGETHER and that at the center of it all,
it’s ALL LOVE.

Meet YOUR life the way YOU dream of it being and soon enough
notice that it IS.
So be it,

Looking through my journals from the last twenty years. I am sifting through for my first Urban Priestess book. Many ask me, how do I grow as a Priestess? How do I develop my intuitive abilities to apply them to my business and life? How do I work my magick? Many don’t like the answer…

In a world of spiritual trends, manipulation of power and sorcery in the form of NLP, Hypnosis, Power Over structures and paradigms( thanks Dylan)…we fall in love with what glitters. We fall in love with fake fairy dust.

We follow and glorify those that seem to carry the qualities we desire. We buy into the lifestyle.

We do not see with our inner eyes or our heart. Fake fairy dust is what we buy and often at a high price! And NOW we don’t pursue our spiritual paths with devotion and apprenticeship in mind…we expect we will be speaking in from of millions by the end of the year after the first day we started! And it could be, THAT might be your path. Take heed though, we need many light workers filling different positions!

Yet, the most powerful of mysteries may exist in the plain dirt pile, in the monastic peace of your room, in the modern mermaid maintenance in a bathtub or the gathering of Souls in a non-instagramed location.

I’ve seen miracles.
I’ve lived thru them.
I have spoken of them as an Oracle and Seer.

HEALTH. LOVE. CLIENTS. FAMILY. ABUNDANCE. Miracles in my own life.

From being directed to move my body before a car accident so I don’t break my back, to the right jobs and being at the right place at the right time. I’ve been lucky enough to participate in miraculous headings of others and of myself. In a world, where people quote that true transformation only begins with the right coach or teacher…mine began like I suspect most of ours do…with Source.

I’ve experienced miracles with my finances and with my business. Surviving a lay off, surgery, break up and MRSA…I came to early 2013 with no financial movement or financial support-whatsoever.

I sat down. I connected to, to what we are all connected to since the beginning and beyond.

I didn’t sit down with three coaches and figure out how to create a program to save my booty. I frankly couldn’t afford it. My dear friend Lisa, did a session with me where we discussed my belief around talking/promoting about my business. She helped me gather a new perspective.

My spiritual identity was firmly anchored in priestesshood….where you do not go about posting pictures of your initiation or what you are learning.

NO, the direction of the spiritual NORTH teaches us discernment and the wisdom of SILENCE. By 2013, I had already been one for 20 years.

In that session I came to understand that my SHARING was a SERVICE not from ego or self-aggrandizement…if I did not share, how would anyone know?

My spiritual background says that the right people find me when it’s time. Modern day business says, the squeakiest wheel gets the oil. Beyond squeaky. The hippest, glitteryiest and most lavish lifestyle gets the oil! SOUL and WISDOM, SISTERHOOD have become commodities and we have exploited them. Like anything else and everything else, it’s not the thing itself but how the thing is wielded. Many are jumping on the trends to reap quick rewards. Disheartening and yet it should GALVANIZE the light workers to start SHARING MORE! Don’t be silent. Stop hiding please…we NEED YOU.

Far from the squeakiest wheel, yet I a now sharing like never before. I wonder sometimes if the Universe backed me up into a corner that way so I could RISE? TRULY RISE, in true devotion, faith, service and intuitive action.

February/March 2013, I sat down one night with altar, circle cast and Angels called. I asked for guidance and Intuition Immersion was born. It saved my business. No money for a website. I did it all through eventbrite. I hadn’t written a newsletter in months but blogged daily. Then from that financial influx, I created the 9 month mastery program. The rest is history.

I’ve been a full-time online business for a year and a half now. Armed and supported by the invisible world, I seek to guide and inform those that are like me, Intuitives and light workers called here to serve. My program Intuitive Leverage, for both men and women is born from my journey and my struggles. I struggled as a highly gifted psychic, I don’t want YOU to.

Back in the day, as I read SETH SPEAKS by Jane Roberts, All the Sanaya Roman channeled books, Louise Hay, Shakti Gawain and Starhawk, Merlin Stone & Z Budapest it was not popular. As I learned the language of the stars, numbers and runes, it was not well-accepted. For a teen to be exploring her wyrd in such a way was an act of societal rebellion and a seeking to align with my Soul’s Calling.

Today everything is up for grabs. I urge you to seek your own silence. I urge you to honor your own cycles. I urge you to write, take notes and learn, learn, learn. Here are some images from my Book of Shadows from 1991 and 1994. I didn’t lie. I started in my teens and by early 20s was initiated. All this was kept quiet for about 14 years, though I was a professional psychic in my twenties. Learning HOW to share what we know. Learning how to LIVE what we are AWARE of..takes time. Don’t regurgitate what you read yesterday AS IF you own it yet. It takes time. It takes practice. They say 10,000 hours to make an expert. Believe it.

Excited to be preparing some JUICY, transformative experiences for you soon!

I’ve been quieter than usual. Mercury and Neptune retrograde have brought me back to unhealed beliefs, past relationships, memories of childhood and appreciation for family and friends. I’ve been deep diving into my own rest, my own dreams and excavating more truths. I’ve cried more than usual for what has been left unsaid, for the potential of sharing ourselves with vulnerability and strength even in the face of perceived loss.

The truth is that we are eternal, if we choose to accept that we are energy/Spirit/Cosmic matter…we are connected and one with all, even in the matter of matter itself.

The more individualized we become the more difference, separation and “uniqueness” we create. We are both eternal, all-knowing AND temporal beings struggling for meaning. We are meaning making entities. As personalities we are trained to wait to be “chosen/selected.” We wait around to be “chosen” by the right school, job, man/woman and opportunity.

The fact is, the truth is…WE CHOOSE.

WE choose on so many levels. Superconscious ( meta level as so many call it now), subconscious and conscious. We chose our meanings. WE choose how to love. As long as we hand over our power to others or the belief that something outside will make us HAPPY/SAFE/SECURE/FULFILLED we will always feel something amiss. Everything that is real, fulfilling and enriching truly emanates from our own perception/acceptance/awareness and alignment.

SO take a moment from your sadness, your loss, your confusion, your fears and ego trying to find something to hold on to or something to protect that which you cannot protect.

When we block love from our lives and experience we are not protecting from further loss…we are excavating into deeper loneliness and chaos. Allow love to flood your heart.

The water was freezing yesterday am. I went in there anyway, kinda yelping than laughing, giggling. Once in the sandbar dropped dramatically and I huge wave came. I fell into the waves, and turned around and popped up. I came up laughing. I used to do this all the time as a child. I was 4, 5, 6 years old running to the waves, my parents sometimes running after me. I would feel my way in and then jump in..i couldn’t swim but I never doubted I would be fine. That’s how I deeply, truly feel about life and love. I may lose my footing, I may get scrapped by the sand but the Universe and Yemaya ( Great Mother of the Seas) have my back. I am ALWAYS restored and usually, made better than before…

I have never been a good bystander. I can’t stand by the river and watch the fun. In love, business, arts and sensuality…I must dive in. I must flow, ride the waves and breathe deeply. I may be scratched up from the sand. I may not swim like I dreamt about but I seek to live, I seek to fully experience what it means to be an unsouled and embodied human. After all, isn’t that what Earth School is about?

Where are you ready to release from the past and DIVE IN TO YOUR NOW?

you, V

Loves, it’s an exciting time! It’s the day before the NEW MOON! SO write down what you want to release or let go, burn that thing! Or step into a sea salt bath and release out loud what you don’t want to carry anymore! The point is to prepare to LET GO and SHIFT!

The NEW MOON energy tomorrow allows us to BRING IN, ATTRACT, INVITE and DECREE that which we are stepping into! It will be NEW MOON IN GEMINI, yes the twins of communication and ruled by the greek god Mercury. Mercury was always one of my favorite archetypes. Difficult to date him but that energy gets us moving with ideas, communication and of course, social media!

Our intentions and dreams have “extra” wings right now and what we want to manifest or shift into can HAPPEN REALLY REALLY FAST! SO be prepared to clear the way and go with this powerful flow that will bring you closer to the life, love and business you are wanting to experience now.

much love & Godspeed!

PERFECT TIMING: Many of us sensitives may be extremely harsh and critical with ourselves. I know I was. I felt ashamed for many years…why? you may wonder? I felt that I had a tremendous ability to see, hear, feel and know intuitive information and what was I doing with it? I projected a pressure from the Universe, my guides and Soul~ that I was not doing ENOUGH with what I had. I felt guilty, here I was very talented in many ways and yet, what did I have to show for it? I served wherever I was. Like the ancient version of priestess, I worked devotedly behind the scenes.

I trained. I had a spiritual practice and a discipline and I gave away my services.
In time, I began to charge. I held classes. I rented space. I felt, “it’s not time yet. I’m not ready. I need more training. I don’t have enough live mentors supporting my work. I don’t know where to begin. I work too much, where will I find the time?”

My full-time business didn’t happen perfectly. In fact, it’s a miracle it ever happened at all.

I worked a corporate job, did a mastermind and worked nights and weekends. Right before a major surgery, I was laid off from said corporate job. Like the day before. A deep romantic relationship ended after surgery. My business was on hold. Car accident and MRSA that was overlooked months before by my doctors. Five months of almost no business. Painful beyond belief. I didn’t feel well and I was using up all my savings for medical expenses. Enough to make anyone ask,” Universe, have you forsaken me?”

Enough to make anyone give up.
Enough to make you run back to the safety of the cubicle until I could get myself together again.

My Soul charged me to step up and IN. It was my time.

Yes, sensitives. We want the light to be JUST SO, so we can write.

The moon to be in deep fullness and the One to be gallant and perfect so we may fall in love.

We want the right amount of money in the bank to make the leap into our dreams. Our bodies to be just so, our homes to be in perfect harmony so our lives can be what we DREAMED of.

What IF The lack of external harmony and peace is there just to teach you to create the harmony and peace you want within?

As human beings, our brains want us to cross of numbers, lists and circle to-do’s ( i love lists btw!) but our Souls whisper,” you have everything that you need. NOW.”

What did I have? No man. No financial support. An exhausted, healing body and weary heart. Business at a standstill…

Then unemployment made a mistake and ended prematurely. Yes. Truth.

I will tell you what I did have:

1. The faith that I was supported by a loving God/Goddess/Great Spirit/Universe.

2. The deep understanding that this was set up to bring the best out of me.

3. The awareness, that NOTHING is stable. All is change. Only our inner being in it’s PRESENCE and being PRESENT is the stabilizing influence.

4. Family, friends, clients and students who loved me dearly.

5. A mind, body and spirit that has often gone through hell and back and not only survived but THRIVED.

5. Proof of all of the above. I had experienced miracles from choosing the 11th doctor to operate me and saving what was deemed unsalvageable to emerging from a double rollover and landing upside down car accident UNSCATHED. All the miracles happened because I LISTENED TO MY INTUITION.

I even faced my shadow, my pride in my independence. I asked for help from two friends that had promised years ago, that they would step up if I ever needed them. I have always been very proud for doing things on my own…I never asked before. I hated asking. I knew I had to grow past these shadows that meant if I asked I was weak or incapable.

SO I asked. One said they couldn’t help and the other down right ignored my request. I cried. Then I laughed. I laughed and laughed and cried. It wasn’t so hard asking. I didn’t die from being ignored. I didn’t die from surgery, from the car accident, no business.Yeah, I decided WE GOT THIS! The Universe and I.

I understood that the job, the man, the money were an ILLUSION. And I knew that I was the CREATRIX of my life.

No shame in becoming more stable before launching something…yet I was told,
” This is YOUR initiation process. If you are to guide others, you must jump from the cliff without much physical support.”

SO divine timing exists. Often we want, we want and it does not happen. Other times we are left practically naked from all semblance of what human beings decree as “comfort and stability” and we are asked to FLY.

SO don’t wait for everything to be PERFECT. I know people who charged and borrowed and saved their money….their businesses didn’t succeed no matter how many photoshoots and websites they created. It’s not about what you HAVE to support you on the outside, it’s about what you HAVE on the inside.

YOU, ME, WE co-create our realities.

SO no money and no honey as they say, I flew.

It was scary, The weather didn’t seem right. I had to go through darkness, rain and storms. I created. I believed. I dreamt up programs, offerings and services…

Year and a half later. I am here. I am thriving. My clients are thriving. My students are expanding in their awareness and calling. I’ve traveled, taught, loved and been supported by dear friends, family and clients/students.

I give thanks EVERY DAY that the Universe saw fit to EMPLOY me whole.

Yes, you read right. I could’ve emerged from the car in a wheelchair or with many tubes. I crawled through the glass then walked out.

The Universe gives us ALL so much that we overlook. We have such a sense of entitlement and don’t SEE or give thanks for ALL we have!

It’s not perfect. It’s perfectly imperfect.

Be PRESENT. Be BRAVE.
Face your fears and watch them crumble into teachers.
Love yourself into BEING. LOve yourself into DOING.
Let your CALLING flow THROUGH YOU.

Start to HEAL now. INVOKE your Sacred ability to LOVE, HEAL & SHARE love.

Not tomorrow. Not when you have enough or hired the millionth coach.

NOW. NOW. NOW.

ESPECIALLY if you are sensitive.

ESPECIALLY.

The world needs you MORE than you can ever know.

loving you
in passionate transformation & sacred community,
V

At 19, my life turned in a way that has marked my Soul deeply ever since.

At 19, I wrote God/Universe a letter and asked to be a channel for inspiration and healing. I found out when you raise your hand in God’s classroom, you are IN!

My guides showed up in full force and books, information and tapes seem to make their way to me. I started to be trained in my dreams. My abilities cracked open miraculously. I became a professional psychic and tarot reader at 22, an initiated priestess at 23.

I’ve seen so much in the last two decades.

I’ve witnessed sweatlodge cleansings and full moon chanting. My dear friend and I have guided circles for 14 years. Gatherings of women first then of men and women. Learning our whispers into the numinous mysteries and exhaling into rebirth. Over and over again. Miracles. Miracles. Miracles.

I forget the names, I remember the stories, the women, the voices and the seasons. I have witnessed great courage in ceremony thru decades. True sisterhood. Deep healing. Most of all, I’ve witnessed my heart expand and expand. My talent and capacity deepen. I bow to my clients, students and teachers for the vulnerability and courage you have shown and continue to show as we dance this dance together!

I’ve seen real, wise and solid teachers hold themselves back from visibility and abundance due to limiting beliefs about money, “the haves and have nots” and about the definition of what being spiritual means. The old ways of martyrdom and poverty seem to be holding tight into present day reality.

Rejecting opportunities, avoiding technology and clutching safely to anonymity as they hurt over recent arrivals who claim they have “created” sisterhood, feminine leadership, priestesshood, ritual and red tents. Yet, the escond themselves in sadness and lack of right action. Rise sweet teachers and call on your inner cosmic Soul to allow you to adapt and bring forth the wisdom you carry!

I’ve seen mediocre charismatics gain influence due to financial support and the general ignorance of the populace. I’ve seen people who studied one weekend, one workshop or two trainings put up money-infused sites that promised to share the ancient truths…they just discovered or initiated into last month. “yaaaa…like that is so deep,” and they merely skate on the surface of true healing or intuitive wisdom. I smile and learn the lessons they brought and bring. We can learn from everyone, even the hubris-dipped.

This does not mean they cannot channel truths or hold space. Years of study can still not grow true Soul seeds if the land of the heart is fallow. A weekend or two may be what you need to crack you open to your Soul’s calling.

The truth though, that to be able to channel, hold space often requires time, training and solitude for it to actually integrate. If not, there may be energetic gaps in ability and actual capacity. Traditional priestess training was a year and a day. Sometimes there was a vow of silence. Not punishment or limitation, rather time for integration.

Karma spins in interesting ways. When in the flush of the rising winds we believe our eternal power, not of Soul but of the Ego, we are bound to fall. I’ve seen many rise and shine brightly in the last two decades and through the time I’ve been on Earth School. I’ve seen many entangle themselves and grow blind. Hubris carrying them not their Soul.

Staging images of deep wisdom and power. Publishing words of gathered wisdom and promoting an existence that do not live and breath, so they cannot guide you in.

And so many fall, so many rush to pay hefty sums and believe they are aligning themselves with power. So many trample over their true teachers to put up their shiny shingles that will fall in the next storm.

Why are you rushing to step into ill-fitting shoes? Just because they are trendy does not mean they are right for YOU. You are not ready for your own unique pair and you court dissolution and disappointment. Chanting spells will not gain you entry where you do not belong yet and the painful fall of a smoke and mirrors reality will hurt you and others deeply. Ahh this learning!

In all the time, I have always known. Chop wood, carry water. There is no skipping in Earth School. One way or another, you will attend the classes and get your Soul lessons.

So don’t rush. Don’t shortcut. Don’t take on another’s essence, thru images, pictures or words. We all inspire each other and we should all explore our own UNIQUE offering in the world and for the world. Yes, you may sell alot on your program or sessions…for awhile. But soon enough you will be left scrambling about what to offer next, how else can you TOP that?

When you are truly in harmony with your Soul, there is not need to fret about your abundance, your programs or your calling. So don’t rush that the EArth School courses on FAITH, DISCIPLINE, LOVE, TRUTH, COMPASSION & SERVICE…for these are the values you will build your true calling on.

“A Woman (man) in harmony with her spirit
is like a river flowing.
She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination
prepared to be herself
and only herself ”― Maya Angelou

Someone asked what madness means to me? Some people think women dancing ecstatically under a starry sky is madness or that men & women listening to their Souls and being guided by their hearts is madness.

Some see madness as when you choose the road less traveled for your Soul is the pathfinder of it’s own destiny.

Wild women and men with wild souls isn’t madness for me because that’s how I live now for a long time.

It’s like when people say ” omg! omg! I think i’m psychic!!! omg ITS SO CRAZY!!!” It’s not crazy at all. It’s our birthright. Part of my mission is to share that we all have these abilities and how to hone them so they can serve us and allow us to step into our greatest calling!

I live between the worlds and succeed in both daily, I help others do the same. Its normal for me and a way of life. I started going to spirituality festivals and dancing under the moon around bonfires 20 years ago, sweat lodges, journeying, healing with sisters, ritual and ceremony. I started holding women’s circles in 1999. It’s my normal place of existence and most if not all of the women in my life are like that too!

So madness to me is when you DON’T listen to your SOUL.

Madness is when you confine your spirit to BULLSHIT rules so you don’t even remember the wild woman/man that you are.

Madness is LISTENING TO OTHER PEOPLE’S OPINION OF WHO YOU SHOULD BE and HOW YOU SHOULD LIVE…that’s outright INSANITY to me.

Madness is a modern day malaise of conformity, mediocrity and escapism.

Madness is becoming ill, being separated from your SOUL.

Madness is believing what “they” say about your body, mind and spirit. “They” being a society or belief system that might confine your authentic being. “They” being those that without meaning to, have unfortunately informed your young self that you were not good enough, you were too much, not pretty enough, too beautiful, broken, repulsive, valueless and unworthy.

MADNESS is believing that it’s REAL. It’s not, it’s not.

MADNESS is:
Believing the hype. Keeping up with the Joneses. Idol worship in the form of ego, sex, escapism and money.

I love abundance, sex & money… when you separate it from your SOUL and pursue it to replace the vacant space in your heart that needs your Spirit more than it needs a ego gratification it brings about unrest, disease and madness.

Thinking that madness is being creative, sexual or spiritual is part of the oppressive, chauvinistic bullshit we’ve all been fed for centuries so we can fear woman, the unknown, the dark, the MYSTERY and our most divine powers of creativity, sensuality & Spirit.

IF we associate MADNESS with WOMAN, SEX, SENSUALITY, CREATIVITY, THE DARK, NUMINOUS MYSTERY, INTUITION, THE SIGHT, UNBRIDLED CREATIVITY & PASSION well…who would want that disease???

Not I, said the Cat.

No, sensuality, intuition, soul connection and divine ecstasy are part of our birthright and our path as we walk between the worlds to birth a new one.

It is pure madness to not be ALL IN and SHINE our LIGHT. In that regards…ah, it is a mad, mad world…

Being aligned with our Souls, our desires, our sacred community and our beautiful planet is our BIRTHRIGHT and our SOUL’S AGREEMENT…at least that’s the memo I got!

Much love, V

The closer we get to stepping into our flow, our greatness and our deepest calling…the more the shadow and inner saboteur steps up to challenge us.

It’s our inner critic, the voice of our teachers, parents and romantic partners. It’s our hidden fears parading about our hearts and minds. It’s our worst nightmare in many ways AND our greatest teacher.

This critic, this voice that seeks to cut us down to our most valueless feeling self is really showing us where we need love, healing and transformation. The truth is that we are perfectly made for our life’s mission.

There is nothing “to fix.” There is everything to release. Releasing beliefs and paradigms of lack, failure and success. So often we are crippled by what we “think” success will do to us or what it means to be a genius, an expert or a master.

Often the master is at the heart, not a master of a particular subject..but a master of being PRESENT, being mindfully, whole heartedly devoted to the task at hand and SHOWING UP. The secret no one wants to believe is that SHOWING UP and BEING PRESENT is most of the work. When done with ease, it is effortless.

Our true genius and gift is often invisible to us. We overlook what comes through us with ease as we are addicted to believing that what is worthy must be hard won.

If there is ANY chance of getting to our greatness its about showing up, surrendering and allowing.

ABUNDANCE: The UNIVERSE is invested in my calling. The UNIVERSE has my back even when my surroundings or situations don’t look good to my human eye. The UNIVERSE/GOD is invested in my living my calling and so I am ALWAYS supported and LOVED. Abundance is not to be acquired, it is always present. ACCEPT. ALLOW.RECEIVE. ~vcc
