    Dance has always been an important part of my life and as such it has become a integral component of my spirituality and magical practice. Several years ago I participated in a program in which the participants were challenged to…

About Me

Hi! My name is Vanessa and I’m a musician, artist, and mystic originally from New Orleans, LA. My work focuses on the exploration of embodiment and ecstasy. I believe that dancing, cooking, and weightlifting are devotional acts and that everyone should buy themselves flowers. My interests include astrology, herbalism, fitness, and ancestral health. I live in Queens, NY with my husband and our cat Belladonna.

Instagram post 2176267722186684161_21517761283 people have been using the phrase “doesn’t serve me” as long as i can remember and while i believe people’s intentions are good, i think its important to consider the implications of using this type of hierarchical and objectifying language to describe our relationships to people, things, or behaviors, and to viewing them through this lens. so i decided to share some possible alternatives instead of just griping about it as i have in the past. language matters. 🌸

Instagram post 2168232723071988636_21517761283 I turned 40 today and am feeling really grateful to have made it this far because there was definitely a time when I thought I wouldn’t. I can honestly say that I feel more hopeful and excited for the future than ever. Aging is a blessing and a privilege - don’t ever let anyone make you feel shitty about it. xoxo

Instagram post 2163964694414790410_21517761283 I was just looking at this old photo I took and some thoughts came up for me around today’s scorpio new moon. People tend to shit a lot on the idea of “love and light” as being a naive form of spiritual bypassing, and while that can certainly be the case, rarely do they talk about how fixating on death and darkness can also just as easily serve that purpose. I know because I’ve been guilty of it myself. Just because you are unafraid of the dark doesn’t mean that you have examined and integrated your own darkness. Real shadow work is painful, triggering, and unpleasant. It’s also incredibly healing and liberating but you have to be willing to shine the light on the dark corners of your own being which are often way spookier than any haunted house or grimoire.
