Shiva's First Arrow
Sage Lakulisha, Preceptor of the Pashupata tradition, taken at Jageshwar Temple, Uttarakhand. The first time Shiva’s arrow pierced my mind, it would be in his fierce form, Virabhadra. More than 10 years ago, I was organizing a yoga asana intro workshop for an acquaintance, who was the teacher. She was addressing a group of eager participants, and I was just walking around making sure everything was in order… While explaining the origins of the Warrior poses, the teacher w

Karmic Astrology Consultations (Mar/Apr 2026)
SMOKE & MIRRORS, FIRE & LIGHT Smoke occurs when the burning process of matter is incomplete or inefficient. Or when oxygen is limited, and fuel cannot fully convert into gases. Smoke is therefore, a collection of tiny, unburned leftover particles. Like our samskaras, habitual grooves and leftover karmic patterns. “Smoke and mirrors” is thus used to describe situations that are confusing, not fully clear or honest, implying that the crux of the matter is hidden from sight

The Fortress Opens
New Moon in Virgo, passing through Venus. Could you tell I was nervous for this workshop? Funny, right? I’ve taught the strange and esoteric for almost 15 years. But tonight’s Goddess one was just so, so important. I was worried I couldn’t hold or express what was truly needed. A new doorway is opening, a new reality being seeded. Thank you, everyone, for anchoring. As I sit alone in silence to bask in the ignited energies, a gentle gratitude creeps through me. I am shown how

Solar Eclipse: 25 Oct 2022
The upcoming solar eclipse occurs in realsky Libra, in the Nakshatra of Swati. Commonly known as Arcturus, Swati is the ‘wind that cuts like a sword’.

All attachments and conditionings from old ways will be stripped bare. A healing crisis. When the dysfunction that has kept us in familia

It honors the forces of Nature as manifestations of Cosmic Intelligence — similarly in Egyptian cosmology, the ‘Neter Neteru’. Tantra Yoga (as an application and purpose) is similar to Egyptian Alchemy. • The Goddess (Devi, or Shakti) has a spec
