Descent • Stillness • Shadow Work As the final leaves fall and the world grows quiet, November invites witches and seekers alike into the deep stillness of transformation. The veil is still thin after Samhain, and the whisper of ancestors, guides, and dreams carries easily through the dark. This is the season of descent — when the outer world retreats and the inner world awakens. November’s magic is not loud or showy; it’s the slow alchemy of the unseen. In the hush between death and rebirth, we find the wisdom of the Crone, the ancient archetype who teaches us to…

Meet Francis Gutierrez, Owner of The Vision Hive I first began noticing my gifts as early as 8 years old, though some were overwhelming and even frightening at the time. My true spiritual awakening came in February 2009, when I walked into the rooms of AA. There, I began a deep relationship with a power greater than myself—a connection I have maintained ever since. Remaining clean and sober has strengthened my spiritual journey and deepened my ability to navigate my gifts with clarity and purpose. I’ve learned that my darkness, my shadows, and the challenges that once felt heavy were…

A (Mostly) Lighthearted Look at Things That Chap Our Brooms I am sure that those that work in the Occult Industry ( and YES it is an industry to some) there are some things that just rub us the wrong way.

The Seasonal Shift September is a threshold month—neither fully summer, nor yet deep into autumn. It carries the whispers of harvest, the crisp air of change, and the earthy grounding energy that prepares us for the darker half of the year. For witches and magical practitioners, this month is a time of transition, balance, and gratitude. As the Wheel of the Year turns, September ushers us toward the Autumn Equinox (Mabon), a time of equal day and night. This balance of light and shadow is a reminder that we, too, hold both within us. September invites us to honor the…

The Left Hand Path (LHP) What is The Left Hand Path, aka LHP? Do only “dark witches” follow the LHP? Can you work with LHP items and deities and still have “good karma”? Is the LHP all about worshipping demons? Being profane? Is the Left Hand Path “evil” or justice work? And why is it called “The Left Hand Path” anyway?!?!? I will start with the why of the name. It actually has its roots in Eastern traditions, predominantly those of Hinduism and Buddhism, where the left hand is associated with impurity, physicality, and the mundane whereas the right hand…

For those who may not know, I’ve been reading tarot for a long time. My first time I received a tarot reading my friend and I were blown away by the information we received and the accuracy of it all. My friend ended up buying a deck immediately afterwards, and we read for each other for about a week before I bought my own. That was *gulp* 34 years ago, and I haven’t looked back since. What to Ask The Tarot I’ve learned so much from tarot on how we operate and move through time. So many want guarantees of…
