* My Ceremony Store contains many items of use when planning a Ceremony or Ritual. It is sponsored by Amazon.com.
Definitions:
A Blessing is the spiritual healing and energetic charging of your home, business, pet, vehicles, or self. The purpose of a Blessing is to bring healing and strength to the spiritual energies of the space/object/being, which may be performed as many times as necessary- changing with current needs. To "Bless" infers changing the energies to ones that are more favorable adn possibly adding positive energies to a space/object/being.
A Cleansing is the purification of spaces/persons/pets. The purpose of a Cleansing is to remove negativity and chaos, making room for more positive energies. To "Cleanse" infers the removal of something unwanted or negative from a space/object/being.
Feng Shui focuses on physical changes and corrections needed to be taken to better promote flow of energies within and throughout. These changes are more permanent in nature, but should be adjusted with the change of seasons and/or major life changes.
A Note on Feng Shui: I include a Feng Shui Consultation as part of my Blessings because there are often changes to the environment that need to happen to help keep the home or business in harmony. I need a blueprint or accurate rendering of the home/business (including furniture, windows, doors, etc) prior to my visit. I will arrive with several ideas and after performing my Blessing. I will often send you additional ideas for adjustments to be made after the Blessing as well.House Blessings: House Blessings are performed in your living space- be it a house you own or rent, an apartment, a dorm room, or even a houseboat. Typical length of time for this is 2-4 hours. A breakdown of this time period: 30 minutes to go over the space, possibly 30-60 minutes to prepare/assemble items, and 1-2 hours to perform the Ceremony.
Included in a House Blessing:
Fee: $50 per room, though I may add up to $100, depending on the depth of the work to be done.
Business/Workplace Blessings: usiness Blessings are done in your working environment- be it a machine shop, company you own, office/cubicle, desk, or home office. Be assured that I can be quite discreet and require only a "tour" or "visit" to do the Blessing. Typical length of time for this is 1-2 hours. A breakdown of this time period is: 15-30 minutes to go over the space, 15-30 minutes to prepare/assemble items, and 30-60 minutes to perform the Ceremony. Included in a Business/Workplace Blessing:
Vehicle Blessings: Vehicle Blessings are done on your source(s) of transportation- be it a car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, or even wheelchair. Typical length of time for this is about an hour. A breakdown of this time period is: 15 minutes to go over the device, 15 minutes to prepare/assemble items, and another 30 minutes to perform the Ceremony. Included in the Vehicle Blessing:
Pet/Animal Blessings: Pet/Animal Blessings are done on animals that are living with you or that are owned by you or your family. Typical length of time for this is 1-2 hours. A breakdown of this time period is: 15-30 minutes to go over the animal, 15-30 minutes to prepare/assemble items, and 30-60 minutes to perform the Ceremony. This is a very general guideline because each animal is unique and has their own set of issues and quirks to be dealt with, but you get the idea. Pet/Animal Blessings include:
Fee: $75 per animal, though I may add up to $100, depending on the depth of the work to be done.
* I require that all animals that I work with hands-on be tame and that you sign a release form acknowledging that you will pay for any injury I may sustain as well as hold me blameless for any outcomes. (Sometimes a Blessing can give the animal the energy or "permission" to die if they are already ailing/unwell.)
Personal Blessings: Personal Blessings are as they sound, done on you or your family members. Generally, I require the person's consent in doing this. Typical length of time for this is 1-2 hours. A breakdown of this time period is: 15-30 minutes to go over the person, 15-30 minutes to prepare/assemble items, and 30-60 minutes to perform the Ceremony. Included in my Personal Blessings:
Fee: $100 per person, though I may add up to $100, depending on the depth of the working.

Spiritual Counseling: Spiritual Counseling is for anyone seeking help finding or strengthening their spiritual connection to the Divine- regardless of denomination. It is also quite helpful for those wishing to develop their own spiritual practices and/or nourish their spirituality.
I have done many years (nearly 15) of research into the various spiritualities, religions, and philosophies of the world. In a space of acceptance, deep listening, and guidance I can help you and support you in your personal spiritual journey.
I can meet with you in person or you can email me to schedule a phone session (you pay charges along with usual fee).
Fees: $25 per hour.
I offer several types of Healing:
Intuitive Healing: A hands-on healing to be done at a pre-decided location and time.Typically requires 3 1-2 hour "treatments" to effect a lasting change. My process is a combination of Chakra alignment and Aura Cleansing as well as intuitive spiritual healing.
Fee: $50 per hour (3 sessions= $150-200)
* I am NOT a physician or therapist, nor have I been trained in Healing Touch (though I hope to take courses soon). I have been performing intuitive healing for over 5 years. My services should be used in tandem with medical and/or psychological treatment.
Distance Healing: This is a coordinated healing done either on the astral plane at a pre-decided time or done over the phone (phone call to be made by client). Usually I require that one has completed courses in meditation and astral travel before doing this for best effect, but I am willing to perform it for any who asks.
Fee: $75 per hour (due to distance and energetic toll). I only do 1-2 hour sessions.
Healing Stones: AHealing Stone is chosen, blessed and charged by me, and then sent to you to help heal your particular illness/problem. I have made Healing Stones for everything from chronic pain to depression, alcoholism to PMS. First, I will use intuition/divination to find an appropriate stone for your needs. Then, I will sometimes paint it an appropriate color and/or engrave it with runes or other symbols to suit your needs. Finally, I will charge it with energies from various herbs, oils, and/or gemstones by either washing it with water steeped in them or attaching them to the stone in some way.
Fee: $25-50 (depending on the herbs/oils/gemstone used to charge the healing stone)
I also offer Visitations:

I offer several Rites of Passage:
Naming/Baptism: This Ceremony is a wonderful way to welcoming your new baby into your family and home. A simple, pre-written ceremony is performed at your site. There are typically 1-3 meetings, rehearsal is optional. Basic elements include a brief introduction, short reading about Family and Parenthood, Parent/Family vows, optional giving of gifts, reading of Blessing Cards, and signing of the Naming/Baptism Certificate. * I require a copy of the certificate for my records.
Includes:
Crossing Over/Funeral: At this difficult time of transition and loss, I am available to help plan a meaningful service that is a celebration of the life of your loved one. This ceremony may be religious or non-religious, spiritual or non-spiritual as you wish it to be. I will work with family and friends to make the ceremony not only a celebration of the life of their loved one, but also a reflection of their personality. I am available for funeral home services, eulogy writing/giving, graveside services, or other special locations as well. Includes:
Maidening: Maidening, also called Menarche, refers to a Ceremony held to celebrate the onset of menstruation or a girl's first moonblood. Typically this is an all-female gathering (I can officiate/lead if you like) inside a womb-like room/space where all the women tell stories about their youth and pass on feminine wisdom to the young woman. Traditionally the women will speak about their menarche and about the joys of being a woman (we try to only focus on the positive). Also, each guests receives Wisdom Cards to fill out and read, that are gathered and presented to the Maiden as keepsakes.
Mothering: Mothering, also called Blessingway, Bellyblessing, Birthblessing, or Motherblessing, refers to a Ceremony held to celebrate a pregnant woman. The transition to motherhood is one of life's biggest milestones, one that is shared only by women. This is different from modern-day Baby Showers in that rather than celebrating the life within, it celebrates the ability to give life. Instead of focusing on gifts for the new little one and the material accoutrements that go along with motherhood, we will focus instead on the emotions and spirituality of the new mother/mother-to-be. This is a time to honor her emotions and face her fears, to prepare her for the great work of labor and motherhood. It is to help her welcome the process of birth and also to be able to fully embrace motherhood as it comes through her. This is also called a Blessingway, Motherblessing, Birthblessing, or Bellyblessing. Typically, one or all of the following occurs: the women speak of the joys and fears of pregnancy (mainly joys), of the joys and fears of birth (mainly joys- NO horror stories allowed), a bellycasting is made of her pregnant belly (and breasts if she chooses), each guest gets a "Bellyblessing Card" to write their wishes and hopes for her birth/motherhood (to be assembled into a keepsake book afterwards), and the mommy-to-be is welcomed into the group as Mother, thus building her circle of support.
Croning: Croning, also called Wisening, Wise Woman, refers to a Ceremony held to celebrate the onset of Menopause or a special age (IE: 56, 60, etc) that indicates maturity and wisdom. This Ceremony honors a woman as she enters into the powerful "Third Cycle" of her life, representing her journey thus far and acknowledging the dignity and maturity that comes with years. You can be Croned more than once in your life: as a Blood Mystery (Menopause), as an age (usually 56 or so), upon becoming a Grandmother or Great-Grandmother, every 10 years from 50 onward, etc. Usually, Croning takes place among other women your age, though it can be made into a community or family event to honor the new Crone (I still recommend that the one(s) who perform that actual Croning be female). The Croning Ceremony may include: her peers getting together to share thoughts, hopes, and memories, "Wisdom Cards" for guests to fill out and to be made into a keepsake book later on, taking on a "Crone Name" to rename themselves or take on a special name/nickname to be used in company of peers, or take on the "Threefold Commitment"- to act on their years of wisdom by healing themselves, their community, and the earth
Women's Mysteries Fees: $200, plus mileage/lodging Deposit/Retainer: $100- non-refundable.
Knighting: Knighting, also called Coming-of-Age, refers to the Ceremony celebrating the onset of puberty or "becoming a man" (typically at 11 or 13 years of age). Typically this is an all-male gathering (my husband can officiate/lead if you'd like) in the outdoors where the men tell stories about their youth and pass on masculine wisdom to the young man. Also, traditionally, there is a "challenge" to be faced and overcome as a sign/symbol of his newfound manhood (obstacle course, archery tournament, hunting, etc)
Fathering: Fathering, also called Fatherblessing, refers to the Ceremony celebrating and preparing a man for fatherhood. Rather than a modern-day Baby Shower (which mainly celebrates the Baby and sometimes the Mother), this Ceremony is focused only on the father-to-be and his new role as Father. Typically, only men attend this (my husband can facilitate/lead if you'd like) and they speak about the joys and fears of labor (no horror stories) and the joys and fears of fatherhood. A cast of his hands (cradled together) may be made at this time as well.
Saging: Saging, also called Wisening or Wise Man, refers to the Ceremony celebrating a man's earned wisdom over the years. Typically, this Ceremony occurs at or around 56 years old, but may also be done when becoming a Grandfather or a Great-Grandfather. The Saging Ceremony may include: his peers getting together to share thoughts, hopes, and memories, "Wisdom Cards" for guests to fill out and to be made into a keepsake book later on, taking on a "Sage Name" to rename themselves or take on a special name/nickname to be used in company of peers, or take on the "Threefold Commitment"- to act on their years of wisdom by healing themselves, their community, and the earth.
Men's Mysteries Fees: $200, plus mileage/lodging Deposit/Retainer: $100- non-refundable.
Esbats: Esbats are sacred Rituals that occur at each of the moon's phases. Esbats are reflective of the Goddess and Her different aspects. It is not necessary to celebrate each of them, but many Pagans will celebrate at least the Full Moons if not the Full and Dark Moons.
Sabbats: Sabbats are the eight holy days of the year. They mark the Equinoxes, the Solstices, and the four Cross-Quarter days between. The Sabbats are sacred days based on the sun's position and focuses mainly on the God (as represented by the sun) and His relationship with the Goddess. The Sabbats tell the love story of the Goddess and God. Here is some general information on the eight Sabbats:
Samhain: October 31st
Samhain is both the beginning of the New Year and the end of the Old Year. Our tradition believes that life is a circle of birth, death, and rebirth. Therefore, one must have death before one can be reborn. Samhain is known as the Last Harvest, the meat harvest, when animals are slaughtered to ensure food through the Winter. This is the point in the Wheel when the Aged God dies and returns to the Womb of the Mother to be reborn at Yule. Since He is still within the Goddess, Who is part of the world of the living, it is a reminder that the two realms (Life and Death) aren’t as separate as they seem. It is the time when the veil between the worlds of life and death is thinnest. Samhain is a time of reflection, looking back over the past year, coming to terms with death, and honoring ancestors.
Yule: Winter Solstice, falls between December 21st-22nd
Yule marks the longest night of the year, appropriate for the long birth of the Sun Child. Yule is when the God is reborn to the Goddess. Since the God is symbolized by the Sun, Yule marks the turning of the tide, days will now get longer and the Sun (and the Son) will grow stronger. No more mourning the loss of the Sun (Aged God) as we rejoice at the renewal (rebirth) of the Sun (Son). Yule is seen as a reminder that death is followed by rebirth.
Imbolc: February 2nd
Imbolc marks the re-awakening of the Earth. Some see the Goddess and God as Young Children, growing up together. Others see Her as nursing the young God Child. It is a time of nurturing of young, motherhood, playfulness, and renewal of life. Imbolc celebrates the earliest stirrings of Spring. It is a time of purification, creativity, and inspiration, a welcoming of change from the old to the new.
Ostara: Spring Equinox, falls between March 21st-22nd
Ostara is the First Planting Festivals. It marks a time of Balance, the end of Winter and the first day of true Spring. The hours of day and night are equal. The God is maturing and reaching His prime while the Goddess is enveloping the world in fertility. The Goddess and God are traditionally seen as adolescents and are courting. Ostara is a time for beginnings, action, and planting opportunities for the future.
Beltane: May 1st
Beltane marks the Divine Marriage of the Goddess and God. They fall in love and make love for the first time. She becomes pregnant with Him/His Child, which ensures new life after the harvest. Love and union are embraced at this time. Fertility and marriage rites are the main objectives at this Sabbat, the Second Planting Festival. Celebrations often end with couples pairing off and finding secluded areas to spend the night. Beltane celebrates vitality, passion, love, and desires consummated.
Midsummer/Litha: Summer Solstice, falls between June 21st-22nd
Litha marks the longest day of the year. The Goddess is pregnant. The Sun King is at the height of His power and is celebrated for His life-giving power. This is Last Planting Festival, the celebration of the growing season- all the crops have been planted and there is a brief rest before the Harvests begin. It is the high time of the Sun and is marked with festivals of fire. Bonfires are leapt for fertility, purification, health, and love. After this day, the light begins to wane until the Winter Solstice (Yule). Again, the night often ends with couples pairing off and finding secluded areas to spend the night.
Lughnasadh: August 1st
The First Harvest, when the plants of Spring drop their fruits or seeds. This is a time of great celebration, when we begin reaping the fruits of our hard labor. Celebrations with great feasts and thanksgiving, music, and dancing. The God begins to lose His strength and becomes the God of Sacrifice being cut down in the fields. The Goddess watches in sadness, but is joyful because He lives on insider Her as Her Child to be born at Yule. Until then, She (and we) must endure His gradual decline and then be separated from Him at Samhain. Lughnasadh is a time for giving thanks and making offerings of gratitude.
Mabon: Fall Equinox, falls September 21st-22nd
The Second Harvest, the completion of the grain/fruit harvest begun at Lughnasadh. This is a time of preparation for the cold months of winter ahead. The Green Man returns to the Earth, shedding His leaves and vines, and is reborn as the Horned God, with antlers and fur of the animals He must protect during the winter. The God is dying and the Goddess prepares to grow weak as the Earth will freeze when Winter arrives. This is the Witches’ Thanksgiving, a time of reflection and giving thanks for all we’ve sown and reaped. Nature draws back, readying for the Winter and it is a time of rest.
I offer two types of Spells:
* I offer this service because there is demand for it, NOT specifically to make money. The spells listed are offered in an effort to promote positive and successful outcomes rather than negative karmic outcomes that can occur with irresponsible spellcasting. I do not offer any guarantee for spell success. If a spell is unsuccessful, chances are that there are other issues at work in your life preventing the spell from reaching its goal. Spells are never meant to be the entire solution to a problem, but should be used in tandem with other efforts.
Tarot Readings: I offer two types of readings- Basic and Deluxe. The third is actually an add-on to either of the other two readings and is done at half of the usual price.
Numerology Reports:These reports detail the effects of numbers on one's life using their name and birth date. Other variances may be identified using married name, address, phone numbers, zip codes, company name/address, city, state, and country. I begin working on your report when the deposit has entered my account. Each report takes about 2-3 hours to compile. I perform three types of Numerologyreport:
* I am not affiliated with any particular school or form of Feng Shui, nor do I have certification in this field. I am simply passing along information gained through my own research and experience. I apply not only the wisdom of Feng Shui, but also intuition and perceptions from the space. (I have been known to consult with local Fae/Spirits as well.)
Guided Meditation:This process is generally undertaken for a purpose: unexplained anger or depression, finding one's Totem or Spirit Animal, discovering one's patron deity, soul-searching, addiction, recovery from illness or negative event, release of something, or other issue. Usually, I recommend that you take a meditation course )which I also offer) or have practiced meditation for some time before undertaking Guided Meditation, but I will provide the service for any who ask. Because this process can unearth issues requiring therapeutic assistance, I recommend therapeutic counseling in tandem with this service.
Fees: $25/30-minutes (beginners), $50/60 minutes, OR $100/120 minutes (experienced).
Dream Interpretation: Dream interpretation is the process of assigning meaning to dreams. I believe that our subconscious mind communicates to us through our dreams- I've found in my own experiences that they always mean something. I do my best to suggest possible meanings and truths that are found in dreams. I have been interpreting dreams for the past 5 years with much success.I typically interpret dreams by email, though I am also available for phone consultations for a more personal and focused session.
For email consultation: Please email me your dream, include as much detail and explanation as you can, AFTER you've made your payment. I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can- typically within 3 days.
For phone consultation: Please email me for available phone time AFTER you've made your payment. You are responsible for phone charges and calling at your scheduled time. Rescheduling is available upon request.
Fees: $10 per dream by email (Most common form of consultation). $15 for a 15-minute phone session (This works best for single, uncomplicated dreams). $30 for a 30-minute phone session (This is best for most dream interpretations). $60 for an hour-long phone session (Best for multiple dreams or very complicated dreams).
Past Life Regression: The process of Past Life Regression is generally undertaken to find an answer for a current issue/problem in this life by searching through events in one's past lives. This is an intense and painstaking process that can be upsetting and time-consuming. Usually, I require that you take a meditation course or have practiced meditation for some time prior to undertaking Past Life Regression, but I will provide this service for any who ask. I do require discussion and consultation prior to performing this service since it can be traumatic or disturbing (I will do 20 minutes prior to the Regression to better understand your issues/problems). I also highly recommend therapeutic counseling in tandem with this service.
Fees: $25 for 30 minutes, $50 for 1 hour.
Releasing Ceremonies: Sometimes there are things that have happened to us in our past that keep us from moving on. This can cause depression, unwanted/negative behavior patterns, and/or many other situations that hold us back. After an initial interview regarding the issue to be released, I usually perform a guided meditation to explore it further. Finally, we come up with a ceremony (or series of ceremonies) to facilitate the release of the identified past issue.
Fees: $50-100 depending on the depth of the issue. This includes the guided meditation, custom written ceremony (or ceremonies) and Priestess facilitation of the ceremony/ceremonies.
