💫You know, a lot of people think enlightenment is all peace, love, and bliss—but honestly, it’s not that simple. True enlightenment is more like a demolition process. It’s not about becoming better or happier—it’s about watching everything false within you crumble. It’s seeing through the illusions, the masks, and the stories we tell ourselves. It’s the raw, beautiful truth that remains when everything untrue finally falls away. 🧘✨

You know, I always have to stop and ask myself—did I really have a bad day, or did I just have 10 or 20 minutes where I let my thoughts run wild and spiral into a bad vibe? Because let’s be real… sometimes it’s not the whole day that’s bad—it’s just that moment we let take over everything else. We run this energy, friends. Pay attention to what you’re feeding.

Sometimes it's hard for me to remember that everyone is walking their own sacred path, and our role isn’t to control or correct—it’s to love, witness, and support. Each soul carries its own divine purpose and hidden agreements that weave our journeys together in perfect harmony.

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. 🌙

✨ Expect:

A story of spiritual awakening and courage

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?
