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.

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…

When they look at my table setup, they may wonder: How is it possible to do an astrology reading with onyx carved coasters, astrology flash cards that look like a game of Uno, and a laser cut zodiac…

This moment is personal and it was when I was the one in need of the healing but had not yet chosen to accept it. And I wouldn’t have, were it not for the actions of my spirit team. It was a cold February night in front of a hospital but still far from its entrance. That day, after months of trying to quit drinking without medical intervention and dangerously tapering off after binges,…

Crystals, Herbs, and Oils for Exhausted Witches Even with regular and careful energetic hygiene, the most radiant witches can still become depleted.

The Enchanting Energy of Summer What an awesome time for campfires, friends, family, food, and all the joys that come with warm evenings, late sunsets and open windows!

Nothing compares to the taste as well as that amazing feeling you get sharing something you nurtured and grew. Dining al fresco is a simple yet profound pleasure of summer. Whether it’s a backyard barbecue, a picnic in…

Hoodoo & Blues Music Many Americans will recognize Blues music as a mother genre of most modern American music today, giving way to rock, jazz, and popular music with its unique rhythms and musical lines. The Delta Blues, as it was known, was also commonly known as Hoodoo Music, Hoodoo being the African-based folk religion in early America during the time of slavery. As Blues music developed, African American conjurers of Hoodoo in the South utilized music to help them mask their workings and to motivate their followers to keep their strength and have faith in their spiritual practices during…

Midsummer, which is also known as the summer solstice or Litha, is the longest day and the shortest night of the year here in the northern hemisphere. This year it is going to take place on June 20th. Now, of course, depending on where you are in the northern hemisphere and your climate, it may not exactly be the middle of summer for you as far as climate goes, but it does mark the energetic climax of the year when the sun is at its full power. It is after Litha that we come into the waning season where the…
