ILLUMINATION

A two-week immersion to your inner wellspring of wisdom

Illumination begins where Witch Alchemy ends. Once we integrate the conflicting parts, we want to build our authentic faith from the ground up. Which requires us first to discern between what has been conditioned and what is coming from our inner well of wisdom and connection to source.

You will learn what your intuition is saying versus your fear, your mind, your beliefs, or your nervous system that keeps you in familiarity, or gut instinct that is running on survival.

Then you let it inform your energetic centre, your inner temple takes shape, and you learn rituals and practices to connect to your inner guides and to re-build spiritual beliefs that are conscious, rooted in love and trust.

Both Witch Alchemy and Illumination are part of your paid subscription here on Substack, its £110/year and you can cancel anytime. Your access to all courses and workshops will be yours for the whole year even if you cancel directly after your payment was made for the year (for those with membership/subscription issues).

The four pillars of your temple of intuition are informing you how to navigate your intuitive insights in this modern day life but when they collapse, are not stable or confused with the well of wisdom that lies in the centre of those pillars you will not be able to hear your intuition clearly and keep wondering if you are acting out of fear instead. You will doubt your decision and hesitate to commit to choices that would propel you forward.

This is why I created Illumination to help you tend to your sacred sanctuary and build a strong inner architecture that holds.

Seen from a distance, you encounter the pillars before you reach the well. When they are not recognised as filters, they become the whole building. ILLUMINATION teaches you to see each one clearly, so they inform your knowing rather than replace it.

In Illumination we make sure every pillar is stable and a clear channel for information but not too loud nor overpowering so that the actual source of divine connection can flow unguarded from your own subconscious as well as the collective unconscious and is recognised by your conscious mind.

Your ego will protect your concept of self at any cost and will be clever in manipulating you to distract from the actual harsh truth that requires ownership and responsibility and stating to simply do what we avoided to doing for change by telling ourselves, we are the victim, all sorts of external circumstances are to blame or we have to do more inner work.

The ego gets addicted to the story we tell ourselves, because its easier to stay in your confirmation bias (the brain filtering reality for evidence to prove your narrative) then start doing something that carries risk, causes friction in your psyche or requires the inconvenience of courage. But taking action is the only way we can collect data and evidence for another narrative and shift our identity and perception of reality.

Everyday there are opportunities to take things personally, or make assumtptions and it is your decision to succumb to them or stop wasting your time and change.

It requires a certain identity to choose this higher path.

The Voice of Your Wisdom is a free guide to the four filters and how to see them clearly enough so that they inform your intuition rather than replace it. Let me know if you found it helpful.

Once you have acknowledged and differentiated the different pillars of identity, intellect, instinct and impulse from INTUITION, you get to make sure each one stands on sacred ground, firm and supportive instead of crumbling and distorting.

Building this sacred architecture for your inner sanctuary will allow you to enter the temple of your intuition and gain access to your inner wellspring of source connection and intuitive wisdom.

This is what we do in Illumination from June 12th to 26th with daily practices, perspective shifting videos on how your subconscious works and what initiations await you when you listen to your intuition. I give you short audio rituals and meditations through which you find your unique access and create your energy field from the ground up.

The practice does not require a perfect moment. It creates one.

If you are ready to hear yourself clearly and to hold what you know.

You have felt the intuitive insight illuminate within you but drew the third oracle card anyway. You have asked several people and done what you were going to do regardless. You have said, afterwards: I knew it.

The problem has never been your intuition. It is the moment between knowing and acting on the knowing (despite doubting or fearing the consequences) and what fills that moment when everything outside gets loud.

Four things are most likely to fill that moment.

Ego, protecting the identity it knows.
The rational mind, running its risk assessment.
Instinct, primed by everything that happened before.
Emotion, making the loudest possible case.

Each one carries real information that can become clear signposts and even confirm your intuition but none of them is the source.

ILLUMINATION is 15 days of building the container that holds your knowing through all of it. Not a course about listening more deeply. A daily practice for the moment that comes after the listening, when you have to decide whether to move. The work is not passive, it’s a daily returning, a deliberate choosing, a practice of holding your own knowing through whatever arrives each day — including doubt, distraction, and the voices of the people around you.

You can start anytime

So excited to share with you the bite sized videos I recorded for Illumination and the beautiful audio meditations and practices.

Thanks to a friend’s camera and my epic sunset twilight-shadow play in our Highland Home, this two week ritual series and immersion into your wellspring of wisdom and source of belonging will be a delightful watch - you only need 10-15 minutes a day to deepen your personal practice and build you inner temple architecture which will hold you throughout this summer and beyond.

I will release the course just before summer solstice to align with the height of the sun’s reign so you can celebrate and ritualise the seasonal energy.

Summer Solstice is my birthday, hence why this course will be included in your Substack annual membership for no additional cost and paid members will receive a daily email with all information so you don’t need to navigate any course platform and can simply receive, even on the go.

All you need are headphones should you be travelling and a notebook and pen. The actual work happens within yourself, no tools needed.

Enough structure to carry you into the listening. Enough space to make it entirely yours — filled with your own faith, your own resonances, your own relationship with the practice.

This is a ritual architecture you build around your day to day life. Each practice deepens the one before. By the solstice, you will have a container you know by heart.

Summer Solstice is the time of Illumination

The summer solstice is the longest day of the year. The light at its absolute peak before the slow, necessary turning toward dark. A threshold moment, if you choose to meet it as an initiation into your own radiance.

June 21st is also my birthday and I chose this window deliberately. When the year tips, when the light is at its most full, it is the right time to build a precise practice around what you already know but have not yet been able to act from consistently (because let’s face it: it’s summer, we want to be social and are usually really busy).

The Celtic day begins at dusk.

In the Celtic tradition, the day does not begin at midnight or at dawn. It begins at sunset.

At the moment the light gives way and the world crosses from what was into what is becoming. This is why Samhain opens on the evening of the 31st and is considered the Celtic New Year. The night holds the seed of the day that follows. And truly across most indigenous cultures this is relevant as dream time is the way to create your reality. It is not simply you sleeping and processing the day. When you enter nighttime intentionally you literally create your life in your dreams.

ILLUMINATION works with this rhythm.

The dusk practice is not the end of your day. It is the beginning of your next one.

You enter the practice at the threshold, the twilight, the in-between, in the liminal space where what you know meets what you are becoming. This is when the veil between the noise of the day and the knowing beneath it grows thin. When the world has begun to soften its demands but has not yet asked you to sleep.

The dawn practice, should you choose both, is the continuation: carrying into the first light what was seeded the evening before. A practice opened at dusk and deepened at dawn is a wonderful way to create healthy habits, ritualise your everyday life and create long-lasting change by working actively with your subconscious and intention instead of being led by external stimulation, tasks and cheap dopamine hits through checking your phone, emails and scrolling.

The practice does not require a perfect moment. It creates one.

Illumination is part of your paid subscription here on Substack, its £110/year and you can cancel anytime. Your access to all courses and workshops will be yours for the whole year even if you cancel directly after your payment was made for the year (for those with membership/subscription issues).

You can of course add your devotional tools or plant medicine allies, such as a cup of ceremonial grade cacao or blue lotus tea or any tincture that you enjoy working with and helps you to drop in deeper. Due to the nature of this work and the seasonal significance consider hawthorn, meadowsweet, rose, lavender or mugwort but I leave it up to your intuition (if you doubt yourself, then this work is exactly what you need as after the two weeks, you will know exactly what you are meant to do and work with or choose!).

You can order ceremonial grade cacao with my discount link KAKAOZAUBER19DE21 here, with worldwide shipping:
