that little abundance working flew AGAIN. two separate workings, as simple as they are, working within 24 hours to the hour when gently asked! spellwork flowing beautifully, oracular workings accurate to the hour, prayers and petitions being delivered with speed to make the devil jealous, so much freedom and peace and nobody breathing down my neck about it. what a beautiful blessing.

the children are growing spectacularly, the husband brings me beautiful new plants to work with astralside whenever he comes back. the little twins are picking up their languages very quickly, the dragons even moreso, and after some hard work we've anchored the realm back down in a fresh spot and looked into having our names put on the surrounding plane. and jamie...

he's just wonderful. he's staying again for a while along with some slightly unsettling guests, but i'm sure we'll get used to them before they're all off to serve their highest purpose a while! it's been refreshing, honestly. though i'm not looking forward to the death workings coming up, not with who i'll be working alongside at least. it'll all be just fine, though.

got some crafting goodies coming, services going up soon, and some surprises up our sleeves! hopefully all are well and thriving in their own right, to the extent they deserve. see you all in a while!

wheezingggggg oml. i'm practicing with a spontaneously acquired deck (was practically screaming for me to pick it up in the nearby bookstore, even the baby was glued to it) and i'm using one of the harder hitting spreads right?

well, the question just happened to be "what is (my) healing ability?" and y'all—

surprise, it's the tower! first it's a birth card, second an identifier, and now it's my healing ability it seems lmao. it makes plenty of sense in general, let alone digging into the book and plant meditations in the past and such. and it's a third reminder now that it's been AGES since i fed one particular serpent 😅

i'm loving this deck, i've got another much awaited one coming as well. i can't wait to get into using this botanical baddie for some client work! 💪

generally speaking, people never meet their guardian.

spirit, entity, any other being really—they never do. this class of being doesn't often directly interfere in our lives, and rarely makes itself known to those it guides and guards, let alone to others. they're private, reserved, focused on business and the task ahead.

yet here i stand, eye to eye and blessedly communing and working with mine. whether it's my unique path, my training, or luck, i don't know. all i know is the aid and love he gives, the guidance his hand provides, the beauty of life he paints with a simple phrase. he fought to be here, to live and teach and breathe life into lessons. he's opened up, given human relationships a try, and taken the divine over a mundane life trapped in a sterile, barren garden devoid of the growth he craves.

over a stressful, stifling whirlwind of nothing but flames and dust, he chose to remain free. he chose the curious breeze whispering old stories to new mountains, an ocean of emotional depths so unimaginably dark and inspiring, a library deep in the cosmos laden with the knowledge of several universes. he chose his god, took his faith in his hands and birthed from it a tool to better create with.

it was that husk, clinging to him desperately, whispering jealousy and refusing to shed and continue growing out of fear of all things he's most fond of, that allowed him this transformation. the being he is now could not have left his old carapace behind if not for that, he's told us all. for that experience, he's grateful. for the realizations it brought, he's appreciative.

and now he's weightless, more beautiful than ever. bright, magnificent, transcending that which doesn't bring his heart clarity.

i'm honoured to be your pupil.

no big post, just a small one for now while i finish my break!

hopefully everyone who finds their way here is doing well. summer is always a time when my seasonal depression tends to peak, while my physical partner's peaks in winter. i'm blessed to have found that balance well! aside from astral and spiritual life buzzing along with the multitude of insects thriving at this time of year, things have been a slow blur, spinning lazily in the sun-warmed brook this season conjures. repetitive days, introspection, becoming more comfortable with receiving and teaching lessons...it can be strenuous if one's ungrounded, to maintain attempts to keep the focus on the path ahead instead of what was left behind.

luckily, as a mentor of mine enjoyed saying—the realm of witches is rarely stagnant.

in good time and faith, prayers were answered. whispers adhered to, promises upheld. a charm for clarity and focus just last night rewarded a large sum of money owed. all while taking a short break from the daily grind. it truly pays off to take a minute, breathe, and trust. each thing i've asked for, even far back at the seemingly stagnant pool i came from, has been placed in my hands.

and i am beyond grateful. 🌱✨️

not sure much of an intro needs to be here, but why not!

i'm el, i run the blog, and this space is pretty much here for astral venturings and events and whatnot (if i actually remember to post, which i'll be setting reminders for shortly). i'm twospirit and an indigenous practitioner of 15 years, and i tend to keep my craft private because some people—one i can think of in particular—really enjoy appropriating practices and misusing them before bitching about being "attacked" for it online.

aside from that, i have a pretty big family! a good handful of us have spirit companions and have been sitting deep in spiritwork for a long while, and we've got some big events coming up that we're excited for. usually that stuff gets detailed on twitter, but we all know how that site's faring. this blog is linked there now, actually.

i chose the name âkawâskweyâhk for this blog because it's simple, descriptive, and protective like our astral home. it means just what the blog's title says: "in the shelter of a dense forest or wood". one of my teachings growing up was that our language is sacred, and to use it is to let our ancestors and the spirits know we're here. it tells the land that we belong here, and animals are said to understand it. our astral realm and the land it's anchored to are tended to by our relative badger, who as a bear i feel i can always rely on for strong medicine.

anyways, i've never been partial to clean introductions. i much prefer to get them out of the way 🤣 we'll just end this here so we can get to posting! see you soon!
