đŤYou know, a lot of people think enlightenment is all peace, love, and blissâbut honestly, itâs not that simple. True enlightenment is more like a demolition process. Itâs not about becoming better or happierâitâs about watching everything false within you crumble. Itâs seeing through the illusions, the masks, and the stories we tell ourselves. Itâs the raw, beautiful truth that remains when everything untrue finally falls away. đ§â¨

You know, I always have to stop and ask myselfâdid 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 letâs be real⌠sometimes itâs not the whole day thatâs badâitâs just that moment we let take over everything else. We run this energy, friends. Pay attention to what youâre feeding.

Sometimes it's hard for me to remember that everyone is walking their own sacred path, and our role isnât to control or correctâitâs 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 â âFrom Catholic Schoolboy to Witchcraft.â
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. đâ¨

Before I was a priest, healer, and teacher, I was a boy lost between faith and curiosity â drawn to candlelight, ritual, and the mysteries that whispered behind church doors. In this deeply personal episode, Iâll 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.
Youâll hear about my first makeshift teenage coven, my early encounters with the paranormal, and the moment the Goddess finally revealed Herself to me. đ

đâ¨đž When Luna the kitty, so fluffy and black,
Lays her head down on Pumpkin Boyâs lap,
The candles all flicker, the owls softly twitch,
For then we know surelyâitâs the season of the witch! đŻď¸đť đ˝
Blessed Samhain!!!

Iâve been sitting with the idea of radical acceptance these last couple of days. Itâs 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 isâwithout denial, resistance, or clinging to how we wish it were. It doesnât mean we have to like whatâs happening or give up, but rather face âwhat isâ 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 âthis is what has happened.â
⨠In Western Mysticism and Kabbalah, itâs seeing that everything flows from the Divine Sourceâeven the painful partsâand trusting that alignment with the Divine Will brings wholeness.
⨠And in 12-Step recovery, itâs right there in the Serenity Prayer: accept what we cannot change, change what we can, and seek wisdom to know the difference.
For me, itâs a reminder that radical acceptance isnât passiveâitâs empowering. By not wasting energy resisting reality, we create space to heal, grow, and respond with compassion.

Weâre living in a powerful shift â the Great Year, a cycle that brings the collapse of illusion and the return to truth. Thatâs why so many of us feel stretched, stripped, and unsettled. Itâs not punishment, itâs preparation. The Earthâs frequency is rising, and weâre 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. â¨

Hey my friends! Over the past little while, I had been feeling really disconnectedâbetween the stress and the grief, it was hard to stay rooted in that flow I usually felt. But recently, Iâve started finding my connection again.
For me, it begins so simplyâwith the breath. Just pausing, inhaling deeply, and allowing the universal energy to fill me. Thatâs 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 youâif youâve been feeling lost or heavy, start with your breath. Spirit is always waiting for us in the stillness. đżâ¨

One of the greatest awakenings on my path has been realizing that not everybody changes. Some people simply donât. And as hard as that can be to acceptâespecially when itâs someone we loveâthatâs their journey, not ours to carry or fix.
I really started to understand this through Al-Anonâs Step 1: âWe admitted we were powerless over alcoholâthat our lives had become unmanageable.â For me, that step wasnât 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 ârescueâ or âfix.â I can focus on my own growth, my own healing, and my own peace. And in doing so, Iâve found a new kind of freedomâthe freedom of letting people have their own path, while I walk mine.
Itâs not always easy. Sometimes it hurts. But itâs also incredibly liberating to know that my worth, my peace, and my happiness donât depend on someone else changing.
So today, I invite you to take a moment and reflect: Where might you be holding on to someone elseâs journey instead of your own? And what would it feel like to gently let go, and come back home to yourself?
