From Fire to Earth: Closing the Summer Portal Summer always feels like it will last forever— whether it’s the summer of your life, a season of building momentum, or weeks of heated tensions that match the weather. Astrology reminds us that every season is a chapter, and this one is closing. The final curtain is being drawn. So, what do we do now? We close the Summer portal, move forward. We’re moving from the passionate, authentic nature of fire sign Leo into the steady, strategizing energy of earth sign Virgo. As the Fall portal opens, it’s an invitation to walk…

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. I feel for you. I really do. I have been in the Occult Industry and community for well over 30 years now and even to this day, there are some things that make my teeth grind until I generate sparks. So for all those that own and/or work at a metaphysical store? This is for you. Peeve #1: You…

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…

CRYSTALS + ASTROLOGY + ENERGY = MAGIC “Have you ever had your chart read?” “Do you know your ‘Big 3’?” “Did you know that crystals have the same ancient elemental energy as zodiac signs?” Those are the first few questions I usually ask a client who has chosen to sit with me at a magical market, an event studio, or private setting. 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…

You especially connect with the Divine Feminine or Shakti. If you take Kundalini Dance, you experience many of the Hindu pantheon with the utmost respect for the culture that…
