Journey with Vera

You think you don’t store anger? Hmmmmm…

Have you ever experienced a computer crashing right before a deadline? Been overlooked at work, taken advantage of, underappreciated, bullied, disrespected, discriminated against, harassed? Or experienced something as deeply painful as r**e or abuse?

Anger doesn’t just disappear because we don’t talk about it. Sometimes we push it down, carry on, and tell ourselves we’re fine.

But the body remembers.

My own grief turned into anger after losing my husband of almost 30 years. Eventually, I became seriously ill and knew I needed help.

Western medicine didn’t have the answers for what I was experiencing. Exploring alternative healing opened doors I hadn’t considered before.

And out of that journey, I developed this sequence.

Rage to Release.

A chance to take out the trash, move some of that stored-up emotion, and learn ways to work with anger when it shows up again. Because it will. Anger is a normal human emotion. It’s what we do with it that matters.

Join me this Sunday at 10:00 AM. We have just a few spots left!

Let’s do a little inner housecleaning so we can head into the holidays feeling a little lighter.

You deserve that. ❤️

Día de Mu***os in Rossville, GA, today was absolutely worth the drive.

Ceremonial cacao from Ecuador, powerful deep breath work with sound bath, a big gong that you could feel right down to your soul, chanting, and the beautiful energy of being together, remembering, honoring.

This one went DEEP. One of those experiences that reaches places within you that words don’t quite capture.

Radha and Josh, you created something truly special. Thank you for taking us on such a beautiful journey.

🕯️ Samhain — Honoring the Past, Welcoming the New

As the wheel turns and the nights grow longer, we arrive at Samhain, a sacred time in the Celtic seasonal calendar. A time traditionally associated with honoring our ancestors, remembering those who have walked before us, and reflecting on the cycles of life, death, and renewal.

There is something beautiful about this time of year. The quiet, the firelight, the changing leaves… an invitation to slow down, listen, and remember.

A few simple ways to honor Samhain:

✨ Light a candle or gather around a fire in remembrance of loved ones.

✨ Create a small altar with photographs, meaningful keepsakes, leaves, or acorns.

✨ Prepare something from the kitchen, perhaps soul cakes, as an offering of remembrance.

✨ Pull a tarot or oracle card and listen to what your intuition has to share.

✨ Reflect on what you are ready to release and what you wish to carry into the winter months.

✨ Spend a few quiet moments in gratitude for those who came before you and the wisdom they left behind.

You don’t need elaborate rituals or special offerings. Sometimes the most meaningful honoring happens quietly, in a moment of remembrance, with a candle burning and a heart full of gratitude.

May this Samhain bring you peace with what has been, courage for what is changing, and a little magic for the journey ahead.

🖤 Blessed Samhain, friends.

Lunar halo and a stunning sunrise, lasted just a few minutes, now I am watching deer grazing across the street.
Enjoying my first cup of coffee and in just a little bit I will thoroughly enjoy my friends Samhain pumpkin cake.

It’s the small things that are the big things.

🔥 EMOTIONAL HOUSEKEEPING! 🔥

You know how we clean our homes, clear out the closets, and get rid of things we no longer need? Well, sometimes our emotions need a little housekeeping too!

I am working on the sequence for our next Rage to Release, and I’m adding something new to keep things fresh for our returning participants.

And what better time than before the holidays? Last one of the year!

It’s coming up, folks! There were only a few spots left the last I heard, so don’t wait too long to grab yours.

Come as you are. Let’s do a little emotional housekeeping! ❤️🔥

The Modern Crone: Before the Witch Became a Halloween Costume

Long before the pointed black hat became a Halloween symbol, women across ancient Europe held important places in their communities as healers, herbalists, priestesses and seers.

Archaeologists have uncovered extraordinary Bronze Age golden ceremonial hats, dating back thousands of years. Their intricate markings may even reveal an ancient understanding of the movements of the sun and moon.

We cannot say with certainty who wore them, or whether they belonged to women. But they remind us that ancient people possessed knowledge and ceremonial traditions that we are still trying to understand.

Throughout history, women served as healers, diviners and keepers of religious traditions. Some were respected and consulted; others lived in societies that feared or misunderstood their knowledge.

The cauldron, the herbs, the healing arts and the mysteries of the natural world have all become part of the imagery surrounding the witch.

Perhaps what interests me most isn’t whether every legend is true.

It’s that women have been gathering knowledge, observing nature, caring for others and seeking wisdom for thousands of years.

And somewhere along the way, much of that knowledge became something to fear.

The Modern Crone isn’t about pretending we know every ancient secret. It’s about honoring the women who came before us, questioning the stories we’ve inherited and reclaiming our curiosity, wisdom and connection to the natural world.

After all, a woman who knows her own magic has never needed a pointed hat to prove it. 🖤 it’s fun wearing one though.

🌿 JOURNEY WITH VERA · THE MODERN CRONE · WEEK 2

The Healer They Forgot to Teach Us About

Long before there were pharmacies on every corner, there were women who knew the plants, the seasons, and the healing traditions passed down from mother to daughter.

They were the midwives, the herbalists, the wise women. The ones who knew which plants had a purpose, who sat beside the sick, and who carried generations of knowledge in their hands and hearts.

And yet, throughout history, women who held this knowledge were sometimes feared, dismissed, or even accused of witchcraft.

Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? 🌿

How much wisdom was lost because the women who carried it were never given a place in the history books?

As a Modern Crone, I believe there is something beautiful about reclaiming our curiosity, honoring the women who came before us, and remembering our connection to the natural world.

This isn’t about romanticizing the past or replacing modern medicine. It’s about respecting traditional knowledge, learning with discernment, and asking questions about the women whose stories were forgotten.

So, my friends, let’s talk…

✨ Did your mother, grandmother, or another woman in your life pass down any old remedies, plant knowledge, or healing traditions?

I’d love to hear your stories. Sometimes the wisdom we are looking for has been quietly waiting in our own family histories all along.

🌙 When women gather, wisdom awakens.

Tonight, we're lighting a candle. 🕯️

In Mexican tradition, October 27th is a quiet day of remembrance for beloved pets who have passed. We love the heart behind it: taking a moment simply to honor the animals who gave us unconditional love and left paw prints on our hearts.

This one's for all the faithful companions waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈

Missing a pet today? We'd love to remember them with you. Drop their name and your favorite photo in the comments below. 🐾
