Blooming Wand
her/she/hers

Welcome to Blooming Wand. I'm Emily O'Neal, evidential psychic medium and spiritual advisor. I believe intuitively led self-exploration heals and builds a healthy relationship to change.

I draw on tarot, mediumship, ancestral medicine, art, poetry, and journaling. Shaped by formal training and a lineage of yoga teachers, spiritual guides, activists, and creatives whose wisdom lives here in ways no certification could capture.

This is a space that holds both mystery and thoughtful deconstruction. For the seeker who refuses to choose between wonder and wisdom. Join me as I trace the roots of the spiritual concepts we've inherited, sit with the harder edges of being human, and tend the inner life with curiosity, honesty, and care.

This is a place for the seeker who senses there is more beneath the surface of their life, who asks hard questions and still believes in magic, and who is ready to turn inward and trust what they find there.


Blooming Wand

This August 2026 marks six years since I opened Blooming Wand. Showing up for people during their most tender, meaningful, and sometimes difficult moments is a responsibility I hold close, which is why I’ve never stopped training.

My development has included Daniel Foor’s Ancestral Medicine coursework, Intuitive Body Coach™ Certification in intuitive therapies and trauma-informed care, and three years (almost four) of dedicated training at the Oakbridge Institute.

My practice has also been shaped by a lineage of remarkable women who gave their time and attention (sacred and precious resources) to show me what they’ve learned - teachers, guides, activists, artists, writers, and healers whose wisdom lives in my work in ways no certification alone could capture.

Six years in, I’m more committed than ever to raising the standard of care in this field - because the people who trust me with their grief, their questions, and their healing deserve nothing less.

Thank you to my clients past, present, and future and to all who have supported me along the way. It’s been an incredible journey.

🙏🤗💖

This is exactly how I strive to show up, every single time. Authenticity isn’t something I perform in a sitting, it’s the foundation of it. I believe the depth of this work only comes through when it’s held with genuine kindness and real presence, not just skill or technique.

When someone feels safe enough to be truly seen, that’s when the real healing and connection can happen. I’m so grateful to R for reflecting back exactly what I hope every client feels when we sit together. 💛

I love what I do, and moments like this are exactly why. My work has never been about simply handing someone answers or information — it’s about opening people’s eyes to what mediumship and psychic work can truly look like, and helping them recognize that this same intuition lives in all of us, not just in those of us who do this professionally.

When we allow ourselves to connect deeply to the feeling and sensing realms of Spirit and Self, something shifts. We find understanding instead of just answers, connection instead of isolation, and a real sense of awe for the miracles that weave through everyday life.

That depth is why I strive every day to raise the standard of care across tarot, psychism, and mediumship, so that this work can represent the full spectrum of what it means to be human, at every stage of life.

I’m so grateful for clients like J, who trust me with these sacred moments. 💛

Spirituality isn’t a retreat from the world’s harsh realities; it’s the fire that illuminates them. 🔥

As we approach Imbolc (Feb 1–2), a sacred time for those with Celtic and European ancestry, many of us honor Brigid, goddess of the hearth and the forge.

Brigid herself survived through hard times, transforming from goddess to saint when the old ways were threatened. Her flame kept burning because people found ways to tend it through changing circumstances.

We’ve seen hard times before. They’re here now. And we’ll see them again. That’s exactly why we need resilient spiritual practices, not ones that only comfort us and make us feel good.

Brigid’s flame doesn’t just warm us. It reveals what we’ve been too comfortable to see.

If your spiritual practice only brings you peace and never surfaces your complicity, your biases, or the places where you’ve stayed silent, you aren’t going deep enough.

Real spirit work isn’t always love and light. It’s the discomfort of the forge reshaping us into people who can actually show up for our communities and ourselves.

The ancestors don’t just whisper comfort; they remind us of our responsibilities. They survived by adapting, by keeping the flame alive through persecution and change. This season, let the light stir something challenging within you.

3 Journal Prompts for the Forge:

🔥Where have I chosen my own comfort over speaking up against harm this winter?

🔥When my privilege is named, what is the first “wall” I build to defend myself, and what is that wall protecting?

🔥What is Spirit asking me to change in my external life/world? Are my practices going beyond wanting to feel better internally?

✅ Stay tuned! My next video launches Feb. 1

Take care of yourself if you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed, but also challenge systems of oppression. The two go hand in hand. 🤝
