Listening Between Leaves

September 15, 2025
“My nature journal is scratch paper for my conversations with nature,” Melinda Nakagawa told me, as if this were the most ordinary thing in the world. Not a leather-bound keepsake, not a portfolio of botanical prints—scratch paper. It’s the page you do the math on before you write the answer, the place where the crossed-out lines and the wrong turns

The Spirit of Absinthe

Every era seems to produce a drink that’s more than a drink, an object of myth, a mirror for its age. For the fin de siècle (end of the 19th century), that was absinthe, my favorite spirit! This infamous green elixir was hisotrically beloved by poets and painters, feared by

Ghosts in the Machine

Energetic constructs—servitors, thought-forms, egregores, tulpas—occupy a peculiar corner of the esoteric imagination.

Moonstruck

July 13, 2026
The silver lamp of the night does not merely hang in the void; it breathes upon us. To look upon the moon is to witness a celestial metronome, a heavy, silent neighbor whose rhythmic pull dictates the very pulse of our terrestrial home. While we may shutter our windows and

The Mechanics of Lunacy

July 11, 2026
The moon is the fastest moving object in our sky, a silver blur that manages to dictate the emotional tides of our lives without ever breaking its silence. Divination by the moon, or selenomancy, is a functional, rhythmic system for making sense of a chaotic world. It turns the night

The Woman Who Speaks to Houses

July 9, 2026
Your home knows things about you that you have never told another person. It was present for the moments you have spent years editing out of your own story, and unlike everyone else, it cannot be charmed, misled, or carefully managed. Psychic and local real estate agent, Jessica Belmonte knows

The Debt of the Dead

July 7, 2026
We often treat our family history like a dusty museum exhibit. We look at the faded photographs of ancestors and see strangers, a convenient fiction that allows us to believe we are self-made. In reality, we are walking archives. We are the biological holding cells for every unsaid grief and

Gemini Season Survival Guide

May 21, 2026
I spent forty-five minutes on Tuesday morning trying to decide if my sudden urge to delete my LinkedIn profile was a spiritual awakening or simply the result of a bad night’s sleep and an over-steeped cup of Earl Grey. It is, of course, Gemini season. The collective consciousness now resembles

A Data Analyst in the Fifth Dimension

May 21, 2026
It is a curious thing to hear a woman discuss the mechanics of the afterlife with the same flat, procedural tone one might use to explain a pivot table. Before Francie Soito was a bridge to the dead, she spent twenty years submerged in the binary rigor of market research

Witchcraft of the Watercooler

April 13, 2026
We have officially drifted into Gemini season, that restless stretch of the calendar governed by the celestial Twins and a collective, twitchy need to transmit. Gemini is the messenger, the weaver of social threads, and the nervous system of the zodiac. This energy is desperate to bridge the gap between

Talya Alsberg

October 30, 2025
New York-based tattoo artist, Talya Alsberg was just thirteen when she first considered tattooing as a profession. Her mother is an artist, so walking the path of a creator and innovator was a given. She describes her upbringing as “international.” A way a being that has inspired a life without

Turning of the Wheel

September 15, 2025
“I’ve been celebrating May Day with my mom since I was born,” remembered Julia, a local ecstatic dancer who describes herself as a “Joyful Embodiment Specialist.” Some of her earliest memories are not of birthdays or classrooms but of ribbons—bright, satin strands pulled tight around a wooden pole until the
