How Root to Rise Began
This started with one woman.
A woman I had the honor of sitting with in Hecate ceremony reached out. She wanted to go deeper in her spiritual development. She was ready — truly ready — for the kind of transformation that changes everything.
But the investment required for private mentorship wasn't accessible to her right now. So I did what I always do when I don't have the answer.
I asked spirit.
Show me how to serve her. Show me how to make the deep work accessible without abandoning what it costs me to do it.
And then I went to the park on a Monday morning with my cards and my blanket, and I found a beautiful three-branched olive tree I could sit inside.
Before I even settled in, eight dragonflies flew past me.
Eight. I knew immediately — eight dragonflies as confirmation that spirit had heard me. Eight women called to go all the way into the deepest private work — and a wider circle of women called to the group journey. This January, I'm opening the container to twenty women total, with four sacred seats reserved for the deep dive 1:1 integration work.
I pulled two rune cards from my deck sitting in the roots of that tree. The first was Eihwaz — transformation, death, the guardian of the gate between worlds. "Few can walk here among the ravens, where spirits dwell — Witches. Healers. Seers."
The second was Sowilo — success, triumph, the sun. The hawk grasping the light. The card of who you become when you stop pretending to be someone smaller.
Eihwaz · Transformation, Evanescence, Death · Sowilo · Success, Triumph, Fame
First the death. Then the triumph.
First the roots. Then the rise.
This program did not come from a marketing strategy or a business plan. It came from one woman's courage to say I want to go deeper and one prayer asking spirit how to make that possible.
If you're reading this, it was always meant to find you.
