Photo of Nicole Luna; Don't miss Nicole Luna's presentation "The Wheel and the Wound: Mapping Shadow Cycles with the Celtic Year" during our online @ninefoldfestival 2025 weekend, September 27-28, 2025. Tickets: * Sliding Scale ($30, $60, or $90) * All tickets include recordings of Ninefold Festival 2025: Becoming a Light in Shadow Times workshops and speeches. * Get your tickets now through https://NinefoldFestival.com! (Link in bio) What if your healing path wasn’t linear—but cyclical, like the turning of the year? This creative, reflective workshop invites participants to explore how the Wheel of the Year can become a mirror for their personal shadow work. We’ll trace each sabbat as a symbolic stage of transformation—uncovering seasonal patterns in how our wounds and wisdom emerge. Through intuitive mapping and visual journaling, each participant will create a personal Wheel of Shadows—a symbolic guide to track, honor, and work with their emotional and spiritual cycles over the course of a year. (This should feel supportive and is unlikely to trigger unless someone is currently in a very fragile state.) Nicole Luna (@highestgoodreadings) is a Spiritual Advisor and Educator with over a decade of experience in transformative spiritual practice. Based in Salem, Massachusetts, her work integrates Celtic pagan tradition with modern approaches to ritual and divination. In session, she guides clients intuitively and using tarot and astrology, offering insight, clarity, and support through life’s spiritual and emotional thresholds. With a foundation in education, Nicole brings both scholarly insight and experiential depth to her offerings, creating structured, meaningful spaces for growth, reflection, and empowerment.

That was supposed to say CHAOS.

Just do it. All blue states need to go full chaps mode. Scare the fuck out of them.

I'm not even gonna try to explain human behavior anymore....jeez..

I'll believe it when it happens. These statements still sound a bit like a "strongly worded letter" to me.

He's on the list.

They see themselves as victims, just like trump talks like he's the victim of lies and attacks. They don't have to take responsibility for any decisions because he doesn't. That's why they love him.

The Sith have never been known for their looks.

Check is basement.

It's Saturday. They're golfing.

On it!

NYTimes has been propaganda trash for a while.

Weather witches...it is your time.

Man

When I was much younger, I was diagnosed with a genetic disease that takes regular treatment and meds. We've been screaming about this problem for years, but not one listens, and no one cares.

This is the equivalent to asking "what was she wearing". Stop blaming the victims for the actions of a foreign government.

I love this whole thread
