On a snowy winter’s day, I gathered with a beautiful circle of souls for a virtual tea party to celebrate the third birthday of Initiation: My Faery Soul Awakening.
This was no ordinary book event—it was a cozy, heart-centered gathering infused with storytelling, reflection, and a touch of fae magic.
I read a specially chosen excerpt from the book, and revealed an unpublished chapter.
Together, we explored the themes of remembering and forgetting, the spirit of the land, and the unseen forces that guide us. I also recounted the delightful and mischievous “mistake” in the first edition—an uncanny wink from the faery realm that felt like a blessing in disguise.
We sipped tea by the fire (at least in spirit), imagined ourselves gathered in my living room with snow falling outside, and dove into lively discussions about sacred journeys, ley lines, and the unexpected ways magic appears in our lives.
The event concluded with an exciting announcement:
A new book gathering series for my Substack community, where we will continue to weave these deeper conversations and inquiries together. More details to come.
Thank you to everyone who joined and made this a truly enchanting celebration!
If you missed the event you can listen to the audio-only recording.
If you would love to dive into Initiation, you can find it here available in paperback or e-book. Just click through to your preferred retailer.
And stay tuned for future tea gatherings where we can sip, reflect, and journey into the heart of magickal remembrance together.
About Initiation
An epic memoir, tracing one young woman's journey of mystical remembrance.
When a fairly mundane event triggers an unexplainable phobia, her life is turned upside down in an effort to restore peace and find a healing balm to staunch the harrowing trauma. But the trauma is ancient and deep, ancestral and karmic, catalyzing a deep exploration of soul—past, present and future—to face and embrace into wholeness the truth of her shadowed wound.
From the mountains and jungles of Peru to the sacred hills and wells of Avalon, to a mysterious island in northernmost Scotland, the story is encoded with living myth, magic, and mystery. Filled with deeply relatable bouts of naivety, emotional struggle, and soul-shaping tribulation that often equally characterize both the spiritual journey and the human condition, each moment invites you deeper into an ancient future experience that spans, not only continents, but time, incarnations, and dimensional realities.
Poignant, provocative, and at times, painfully human, the story portrays a powerful alchemy of healing, synthesis, and becoming.
