• Black Tourmaline, Obsidian, and the Art of the Anchor: Stopping the Shadow Hangover
    Dec 18 2025

    Have you ever finished a deep journaling session, a heavy tarot reading, or an intense emotional breakthrough and felt… scattered? If you find yourself dropping your keys, losing your train of thought, or feeling like your spirit is hovering six inches above your body, you’re experiencing what I call the Shadow Hangover.

    In this premiere episode of The Hearth's Anchor series, we explore how to use crystals to tether your energy back to the physical earth. We’re getting into the science and spirit of the two ultimate "anchor" stones: Black Tourmaline and Obsidian.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why deep spiritual work causes "energy scattering" and how to recognize the signs.
    • Why Black Tourmaline is your "Electric Shield" and how Obsidian acts as the "Volcanic Mirror" for your subconscious.
    • A simple, conversational guide to Cleansing, Charging, and Programming your stones so they actually work for you.
    • A 5-minute physical practice to move energy from the earth to cleanse your own energy.
    • How to carry these stones in your daily life to filter out external "static" and maintain your center.

    Dec 10 2025

    This is the first episode in our Hearth’s Apothecary series, a series that focuses on identifying the powerful, inherent magical properties of flora, emphasizing those useful in Hellenic rites, cleansing, and divination, while making the practice accessible through common household items.

    Today, we're going to be defining the ritual relationship with plants (consent, gratitude, intentionality) and turning the garden/grocery store into a sacred space. I’ll also be introducing one of my favorite herbs: Rosemary

  • Zeus and the Emperor-The Shadow of False Authority and the Cost of Dominance
    Dec 3 2025

    Ready to stop chasing false authority?

    In the launch episode of The Hearth's Vow, host Kristin dives deep into the ultimate archetypes of power: Zeus, King of Olympus, and The Emperor, Card IV of the Tarot.

    We explore the razor-thin line between benevolent leadership and tyrannical control. What happens when the drive for structure becomes rigidity? Using Hellenic myth and Shadow Work principles, we expose the "Shadow of False Authority" and reveal the immense personal cost of unchecked dominance and unintegrated power in your own life.

    Learn the five key ways to channel the benevolent Emperor—leading with integrity, not intimidation—and turn your inner kingdom from a fearful tyranny into a space of true strength and flourishing.

    This is the first episode in The Hearth's Vow series, focusing on ethical discipline and deep devotion.

  • The Hearth's Oracle-What is the Shadow?
    Nov 25 2025

    In this foundational episode, you will learn:

    • The Rigor of the Ritual: Why Shadow Work is not casual introspection but a non-negotiable, disciplined practice requiring sacred timing and ritualized engagement to achieve Self-Sovereignty.
    • The Jungian Map: We break down the fundamental structure of the psyche—the Ego, the Personal Unconscious, and the Collective Unconscious—to understand where your power is leaking.
    • The Archetypal Players: Learn to identify the Persona (the social mask), the Shadow (the exiled power), and The Self (the goal of wholeness)—and how the Tarot uses these archetypes as a diagnostic mirror.
    • Why the Tarot Works: Discover why the impersonal, structured language of the Major Arcana (Soul's Shadow) and Minor Arcana (Ego's Leaks) is the perfect tool for bypassing the ego's denial.

    Your First Command: We conclude with the first essential step of strategic integration: locating your Golden Shadow—the brilliant potential you hide from yourself. Your first assignment for sovereignty is issued here.
