Join me tomorrow, Oct. 7th for Part 1 of Episode 4 of Through the Eyes of a Mystic — “From Catholic Schoolboy to Witchcraft.”
This is the story of how it all began: my journey from the rituals of the Church to the magic of the unseen, from incense and holy water to moonlight and mystery. 🌙✨

Streaming live on https://youtu.be/ZDCD6ZukSU8

Before I was a priest, healer, and teacher, I was a boy lost between faith and curiosity — drawn to candlelight, ritual, and the mysteries that whispered behind church doors. In this deeply personal episode, I’ll share how my Catholic upbringing, childhood fascination with magic, and first brush with the unseen led me onto the path of witchcraft and spirit work.

You’ll hear about my first makeshift teenage coven, my early encounters with the paranormal, and the moment the Goddess finally revealed Herself to me. 🌙

The intersection of faith, mystery, and magic

Reflections on embracing your true path

🕯️ Bring your curiosity, your open heart, and maybe a cup of tea — we’re going deep into the roots of the mystic’s journey.

I’ll be joining you in the live chat during the premiere, so bring your questions, your stories, and your open heart — let’s experience this journey together. 💫

🎃✨🐾 When Luna the kitty, so fluffy and black,
Lays her head down on Pumpkin Boy’s lap,
The candles all flicker, the owls softly twitch,
For then we know surely—it’s the season of the witch! 🕯️👻 😽
Blessed Samhain!!!

I’ve been sitting with the idea of radical acceptance these last couple of days. It’s something that shows up in so many traditions, and while each one says it differently, the heart of it is the same: fully acknowledging reality as it is—without denial, resistance, or clinging to how we wish it were. It doesn’t mean we have to like what’s happening or give up, but rather face “what is” with openness and clarity.

✨ In Eastern philosophy, like Buddhism and Taoism, suffering comes from fighting reality. Radical acceptance is about letting go of that fight and finding peace in “this is what has happened.”
✨ In Western Mysticism and Kabbalah, it’s seeing that everything flows from the Divine Source—even the painful parts—and trusting that alignment with the Divine Will brings wholeness.
✨ And in 12-Step recovery, it’s right there in the Serenity Prayer: accept what we cannot change, change what we can, and seek wisdom to know the difference.

For me, it’s a reminder that radical acceptance isn’t passive—it’s empowering. By not wasting energy resisting reality, we create space to heal, grow, and respond with compassion.

We’re living in a powerful shift — the Great Year, a cycle that brings the collapse of illusion and the return to truth. That’s why so many of us feel stretched, stripped, and unsettled. It’s not punishment, it’s preparation. The Earth’s frequency is rising, and we’re being asked to rise with it.

What can we do? Breathe. Ground. Let go of the old masks and live from your true self. Align with love, with truth, with what is real. When you do, life meets you with clarity, peace, and opportunities you never imagined.

Choose your frequency. Your future follows. ✨

Hey my friends! Over the past little while, I had been feeling really disconnected—between the stress and the grief, it was hard to stay rooted in that flow I usually felt. But recently, I’ve started finding my connection again.

For me, it begins so simply—with the breath. Just pausing, inhaling deeply, and allowing the universal energy to fill me. That’s where the shift happens. Stillness is where Spirit whispers, and when I get quiet enough, I can hear it again.

I just wanted to remind you—if you’ve been feeling lost or heavy, start with your breath. Spirit is always waiting for us in the stillness. 🌿✨

One of the greatest awakenings on my path has been realizing that not everybody changes. Some people simply don’t. And as hard as that can be to accept—especially when it’s someone we love—that’s their journey, not ours to carry or fix.

I really started to understand this through Al-Anon’s Step 1: “We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.” For me, that step wasn’t just about alcohol; it was about my need to control and learning the deep truth that I cannot change another human being. No matter how much I love them, no matter how much I see their potential, no matter how badly I want them to heal… I am powerless over their choices.

What I can do is take responsibility for myself. I can choose to step back from trying to “rescue” or “fix.” I can focus on my own growth, my own healing, and my own peace. And in doing so, I’ve found a new kind of freedom—the freedom of letting people have their own path, while I walk mine.

It’s not always easy. Sometimes it hurts. But it’s also incredibly liberating to know that my worth, my peace, and my happiness don’t depend on someone else changing.

So today, I invite you to take a moment and reflect: Where might you be holding on to someone else’s journey instead of your own? And what would it feel like to gently let go, and come back home to yourself?

✨ Friends, as we enter this sacred season of the Equinox, I can feel how much we are all holding right now. With so much darkness rising in the world, and the anxieties many of us feel around the global situation, I thought this would be a powerful time for us to come together in spirit.

The Equinox teaches us about balance—between light and shadow, inner peace and outer chaos. It’s not just about the world turning, it’s about us remembering that we, too, carry both light and shadow, and we have the power to bring them into harmony.

So I wrote a spell for us to use. It’s for grounding balance within our own lives and for sending waves of justice and harmony out into the world. Together, we can shift energy. Together, we can anchor balance.

---

🍂 Autumn Equinox Spell for Balance & Justice 🍂

You will need:

A black-and-white candle (or one black and one white)

Incense such as frankincense and myrrh (or rosemary/sage)

Small bowls representing the elements:

Earth: soil, salt, or a stone

Air: a feather or incense smoke

Fire: the candle flame

Water: a bowl of clean water

Ritual Steps:

1. Cleanse your space with incense or salted water.

2. Light your candle, honoring the balance of light and shadow.

3. Call in the Elements—Earth for grounding, Air for clarity, Fire for transformation, Water for compassion.

4. Invoke the Goddess of Justice: “Themis (or Ma’at), Lady of balance and sacred order, guide us into harmony and truth. Bring justice where it is needed, balance where it is lost, and wisdom to see both our shadow and our light.”

5. Gaze at the candle and reflect on your own shadow and light.

6. Raise energy with this chant (repeat until the energy swells):

“Light and shadow, day and night,
Justice rising, truth in sight.
Balance flows, within, without,
With Earth and Sky, we call it out!”

7. Release the energy by lifting your arms outward, sending balance into yourself, your community, and the whole planet.

8. Offer herbs into the flame or water and close the ritual:
“As day and night are equal, so may balance return to Earth. As within, so without. As above, so below. Justice, harmony, and truth prevail.”

Remember—you are not powerless. You are a living channel of light, shadow, and transformation. 🌍✨

A few days ago, a Fox News host, Brian Kilmeade, said something really mean about homeless people with mental illness—he told people to “just kill them.” He didn’t lose his job. He just gave a weak apology and moved on.

But now ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live off the air because of something Kimmel said about a politician. The same thing already happened to Stephen Colbert.

This shows how unfair things are becoming. Some people can say cruel things and keep their jobs, while others are silenced for speaking out. No matter what your politics are, it’s a clear sign that our democracy and freedoms are in danger.

But here’s the hopeful part: a democracy only works when people speak up and stand together. That means every voice matters—including yours. When we use our voices with courage and kindness, we can protect our freedoms and create a country that’s fair for everyone. ✊✨❤️✊
