grateful for the abundance of december. time to hibernate 🍊

mercury stations direct. we know that sometimes, it might appear that everything’s falling apart, but in reality, things are actually falling together. the final shed is now, friends. giddy up.

one year of luna. never in my wildest did i expect this turn of events, but the universal alignments did their thing. and they keep doin their thing. infinite gratitude to soul mama @lu.fields and fam for sharing this most special moon lion. to know her is to luv her, and to luv her is the sweetest kiss of life. s/o to the real ones @nicholascondedesign @gretaschultz24 @jenniferounds @michaelathans @laurasofia_art @jessicawlevin @imanogundeko for always being there for this bb gal, and her endless crew of aunties n uncs, u know who u are. we luv u luna leon and you’ll always be held by community.

everything’s changing. you’re changing. we’re changing. what does change and transformation feel like in ur body? cardamon and rose. charred fruits. smoked salt and citrus. stretchy, human flesh. throat chakra active. careful, ur intensity is showing again. ur right on time. rhodochrosite reminds us that our purpose, our service, is not personal. but isn’t it always personal? drain the ego, remember ur a conduit.

coming to you live and direct w baby’s first grid work. been laid up w a cold these last few days but sitting w the idea since the last full moon, and felt called to express this today. the pieces and elements came to me early this AM after a vivid dream that woke me from my slumber. black tourmaline sits heavy as the center piece, offering protection as we ride the waves of this multi faceted retrograde. felt an overall framework of earth, air, fire and water for the flow here. few standouts are the dendritic agate just north of center, which emotes a fiery, phoenix from the ashes energy. big mama labradorite just south of center to ground and guard the auric field. few shell babies and ammonite qt, lots of oceanic energy in the mix here. shoutout green and pink opal on deck too. the yellow petals plucked from a sunflower gifted to me recently, that although still vivid, had started to gently wilt. the grid lays on hand dyed silk by the dearest @lailatextiles nod to my altar additions, handmade beeswax candle w pearlescent shells by @theemotionoftheocean labradorite essence by @moonnectarapothecary and hoh nomad oil by @blessasoaps opalite sphere c/o @terracottoplants all but 4 pieces from the grid were collected over the last two years by crystal baddie @sacredfem - feeling deeply blessed and honored to be named keeper of these beautiful pieces. such a joy it’s been working with an abundance of energies hand selected by true embodiment of divine femme. beyond grateful for the knowledge and for the alignment that our paths crossed when they did. i don’t show my face on here too often, but perhaps this grid is more reflective of my energy than ur typical foto would capture, yknow. this is a sacred, spiritual space - thank you for being here w me to witness this expression today.

friendly reminder that hey bud books are open for your upcoming holiday gatherings, special orders and aligned inquiries + collabs. whether it’s our freshly baked OG seasonal buds or the newer raw vegan bites, we’d love to create something special for your tender moments this szn. drop a note w your ideas and let’s chat! 🦋
