 What is "the opening of ways"?
Many years ago, Spirit communicated to me that my life purpose, for all incarnations, was to be an opener of ways. In the Egyptian path, this is refered to as being an Apuat. In short, I appear to be--by my very nature--a powerful catalyst for people. Others say I am uniquely gifted in being able to help them open to new ways of life, new and positive roads in living. I have watched people I work with open to greater freedom, greater self-determination, greater joy and fulfillment. This thrills me!!
Strangely, this is not something that is just accomplished by teaching and working with others, but seems to be a field of energy that I walk in. This field appears to link others to a stream of blessing. Ask any of my long-term clients and they can tell you about it. It seems to work by association. So many people have reported wonderful results. I am deeply humbled by Spirit's work, and I'm very grateful for how this comes together. We are all gifted and talented, though we may not yet be aware of it. My prayer is that you open to your Spiritual Will fully and receive the joy of connecting with activated potential.
Perhaps you met me at a Spirit Fair. Maybe you've heard about my ministry through a member of one of my spiritual groups, The Guides. Or, maybe a friend or loved one referred you to me. Whatever the reason, I'm happy to meet you and I am sending my radiance to you through this site.
What do I do?
Like so many of us in this plural, post-20th century world, I have wide beliefs and practices. I am known as a:
Psychic medium. I work privately and at spirit fairs. I am known for my intuitive work, for my Spirit contacts, and my accuracy. My clients say my readings help them turn their lives around. All readings are done for entertainment purposes only.
Minister of Universal Life Church. I want to do that which is right. I seek to help others. I can perform legal ceremonies (weddings, funerals, etc.) in many diverse traditions. I provide spiritual counseling and other pastoral care.
Serviteur. Another way of putting it is I serve the Loa -or- I serve Guinee. Some people call this being a Vodouisant. I participate in the religion of Vodou (also called Voodoo or Vodun). Vodun is a very sacred, very gentle and loving religion from West Africa that has grown up in the americas. I do not have a peristyle, nor do I claim to be a Houngan or any other official person in Vodou. I just serve the Loa, and they work lovingly with me. People who practice this religion believe the Loa are God's helpers, a group of Spirits similar to angels.
Rootworker. Some people call this a Conjure Doctor or Hoodoo Man, or simply a Hoodoo. This is an indigenous North American religion that grew up in the American South. I believe it is a powerful way of praying and getting results.
Contacted Magickian. I believe that magick is just another spiritual technology, a form of prayer, and that it should be used for good works, and is the power behind evolution, development, and positive change. I believe it is the power behind creation. I am initiated and skilled in several magickal traditions including: Hermetics, Thelema, Enochian, Irish Faery Faith, Egyptian, Quabalah, Witchcraft (UK Trad with a tracable lineage to the Witches of the New Forest), Greek, and Roman. I am a Hierophant.
Reiki Master/Teacher. Reiki, called Te-a-te in Japan, is a form of energy work rediscovered by Mikao Usui. Sensei Usui passed on his teaching to many students. I am one in an easily tracable unbroken line of Masters/Teachers from Sensei Usui. Believers say that Reiki is an intelligent energy--some call it the Light of God. Believers say that Reiki can heal physical, mental, and emotional problems. I have seen it work wonders in my own life and in other's lives.
Orbics Founder. I received the new energy-shifting technique of Orbics directly from Spirit in a dream on 09-22-2009. This system is one that Spirit and I have developed together. Others have said it is effective at helping them make changes in body, emotions, and mind. I have seen it work well for me. I believe it is a system of manipulating naturally occuring energy streams.
New Thought Practitioner. Some people might be familiar with Christian Science. This is similar, but waaayy different, and viva la difference! New thought or scientific thought is really a very ancient practice found in many old religions. After all, the ancient Egyptians (old kingdom) used it. Just read the Book of Coming Forth By Day (popularly called The Book of the Dead) and you'll see page after page of new thought practices. New thought is applicable to your life, no matter what your religious leanings. This is a practical form of religion that is positive, upbeat, and life-affirming. By using uplifting forms of denial and affirmation, I believe we can create better lives. Whose teachings have influenced me the most in this? Certainly the Teacher of Teachers, Emma Curtis Hopkins, the Pert Em Heru and many old Egyptian texts (I love them in interlinear Egyptian), and Abraham, the Secret, and many of the old and tried and true New Thought authors like Florence Scovel Shinn (my favorite) and Ernest Holmes. New Thought can be tailored to any religious viewpoint. I do New Thought treatments for many purposes in my and others life. I love this type of prayer. I have found it valuable in situations where healing or other kinds of restoration or development are needed.
What do I teach?
My unique way of opening to your spiritual gifts. Lots of people think that only "God's favored few" have spiritual gifts/psychic powers. Not so! I believe everyone can heal, everyone can prosper, everyone is free. Everyone is gifted! After all, we are--ALL OF US--God's favored multitude!! I foster people in developing what I believe are intuitive gifts and natural abilities that arise from their limitless and eternal Unseen self. We are all equal: everyone is beautifully gifted. You just have to tease it out, like gently coaxing a frightened animal with food or something soothing. We do so much to shut ourselves down. It's time for everyone to open to realizing whatever potential they can conceive of. If you can imagine it, it's inside you, ready to come forth. Your best choice in fostering all this: If you live near enough to an existing group of The Guides, I recommend you work with them to develop your gifts further. Guides meetings are a safe place to practice.
African diasporic practices. Ways that believers say connect them with their ancestors and with with Spirit helpers, Guides, and Teachers. Also, ways to pray that believers like me find work extremely well.
For a few select people, I teach the magickal path. I strictly limit the number of students I work with and the person must be suited to the path. I believe only Spirit can reveal to me the people I should teach. Please don't ask for this unless you are VERY SERIOUS and are willing to WORK VERY HARD. This is the difficult, upwards path. Yes, I think it's the fastest way, but it is anything but easy. Please realize I can only teach so many people. I may be able to refer you to a teacher or a group in your area if I cannot teach you. I am slowly working on producing a book that I hope will satisfy many people's needs in this area.
I teach all levels of Traditional Usui Reiki. I only teach in person.
