Each Sunday, they cover topics like the tarot, astrology, holistic music, creativity, and other spiritual practices that can be picked up by anybody from any faith practice.

    39- I logged off at the worst (best?) possible time.

    Send us Fan Mail Logging off helped me get my spark back. It wasn't the only thing--but it has brought me back here to y'all and for that I am incredibly thankful.  This is a love letter about the world right now, and why logging off might actually be the best possible thing to do for resistance. Move with your intuition, as YOU are called.  We stay logged on, often because we feel like we "should." Whether or not you need to log off--we dive into why prioritizing your individuality and your access to personal choice and agency is paramount in this moment.  May you continue to be safe, held, and free.  Oh yeah--and F**K ICE.

    38: The School of Raq is on Fall Break!

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the School of Raq! I'm so glad you're here. Missed me? I missed you! Unfortunately this time of my life is jam packed full of love and blessings and I've had a hard time making it to the microphone. In this episode, I get into the reasons behind this break, when I plan on returning, and some brief notes on rest and how we often miss the Universe's call to bring things back into balance.  If you need some extra support in the meantime, my books are open for 1x1 readings and coaching. I can't wait to get back into the groove again, and I'll see you in the New Year! All the Fall Blessings to you and yours, hug a tree, get snuggly, and enjoy your Fall break as well! 3 Music: "Future Abstract" by penguinmusic on pixabay.com  Operation Olive Branch's gofundme for a family encampment: https://www.gofundme.com/f/operationolivebranch Links for other Operation Olive Branch resources:  https://linktr.ee/opolivebranch?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=e5466e96-9bb2-4417-ad49-531855c29178 Book a free consult call, tarot/birth chart reading, coaching service, or get on the email list for exclusive updates: https://linktr.ee/schoolofraq Follow me on socials!

    34: Alignment in Action: A Collective Reading for August

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the School of Raq! I'm so happy you're here. Today we have a collective reading for the month of August, which is going to have some BIG astrology. August's astrology is going to be both tense and fluid, which will either feel exciting or...confusing. In this episode, we talk about how to hold all of the conflicting energies of the month, and close with a tarot reading about how to move into aligned action.

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the School of Raq! I'm so happy you're here.  Today we talk about the ever-dreaded, ever-feared Tower card. But should it be feared, or revered?
