Beautiful, transformative outdoor ritual Sunday morning, making progress on the throat activation piece.

We did not finish, alas, the tattoo had other plans and is calling for more than we imagined.

And yet, with each sitting, I see the transformation. We preceded this session with a ritual to call in ancestor spirits and activate diaphragm (projective), throat, and mouth space, to hone voice but also the awareness of the impact of one's words (which, as a dear friend just wrote in a message, are magick ).

Booking May, maybe one or two projects, and June. Possible travel to LA and/or San Diego if I have clients with the means to book paid sessions, so reach out to me if this is you!

On the Other App, I'm offering a ritual tattoo giveaway to celebrate opening my private studio to the public for the first time ever this upcoming January. But it only seems fair to also provide an offering for you all, as this community feels much more like, well, a community.

And this isn't the place for "like, share, and comment" nonsense, so instead I want to just leave space for a discussion, and if you reply here I'll enter you in a random drawing on 12/12. The winner will receive a free four hour sanctified tattoo after engaging in shared channeling work to find a sacred image that needs to be embodied in your skin. This prior ritual work can be done virtually or in-person depending on your travel constraints, and will be tailored to your intention & needs.

If you need to travel, and can get here, we can offer one night of lodging and a day of meals at the ranch.

You can also pass this on, if you win, to someone else who you think could utilize this kind of ritual magick in a healing space.

I also want to extend a temporary offer to all of my mutuals as well: if you refer a client to me who books & receives a tattoo, you will receive in return a free sigil tattoo up to 3 inches square, or a print of your choice from my "Visions" book (some of which is previewed below, and which I will have on my website soon). I'll extend this offer through March of 2025.

Tattooing is becoming a central part of how we're going to continue to keep Rancho de la Libertad alive and running, and is an integral part of our communal experience here. Booking a tattoo gets you invited to an incredibly sacred, restorative space and also enables us to maintain that space for others.

So let's get started. If you were to engage in a ritual tattoo, what would you hope to achieve? This could be anything: a state of consciousness, a spell you'd like to cast through the tattoo, a commemoration of a rite of passage, and so on.

(Feel free to DM your answer if it feels too personal, and feel free to boost this if that feels meaningful to you).
