soul rites readings

Where are you in your life's journey?

Which symbols are illuminating your unique purpose?

And who are the magical allies that are lovingly guiding you every step of the way?

At various points in our lives, we find ourselves at the crossroads, often sensing the mythic call to live and express the fullness of who we are.

During any life transitions, we are likely to experience moments of disorientation as we outgrow the familiar and welcome the new.

One thing is for sure; we all have access to a loving presence that guides us, gently inspiring us with an ancient wisdom that's as old as the earth itself, and it will always bring us home.

From the very beginning, I was curious to investigate this idea of a soul rites reading and what would be illuminated for me during this process. I was absolutely blown away by what I received...

what is a soul rites reading?

We are constantly receiving confirmation and guidance through symbols and signs around us, if only we have the eyes to see them...

These readings unlock the answers that are already within you, not only providing direction but also empowering you to decode the hidden language of your soul.

My unique, signature method draws together the symbols found in your internal and external landscapes—in your dreams, your subconscious, and the synchronicities prevalent in your day-to-day—along with elements of applied mythology & folklore, archetypal psychology, magic, and divinatory practices.

I gently weave all of your symbols and their teachings together to create a storied, mythic map — a luminous mirror that responds to the heart of your questions and directs you towards your inner knowing and soul callings for many moons to come.

I was astonished by the insight and intricacy the reading held...
