Recommendations ~
Because there is always more to discover.
It would be unrealistic to expect one person to know everything deeply, to do everything well.
Throughout my years immersed in this work I have been fortunate enough to participate in so many sessions with so many gifted people myself, exploring my own chart, practices and lineage, and I have benefited more than words can express from their individual wisdom, experience and insight each and every time.
This list is a collection of readings (accurate and all available to book at time of publishing) that draws on my experiences with other readers - astrologers, diviners, mediums, astrolaters and witches - to recommend to you a series of specific readings that meet specific needs.
And if you are unsure what you need, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

BONE & ANCESTRAL READING
Althaea Sebastiani
“Throwing the Bones is an ancient divination method with obscure origins. It can be found within many different cultures throughout the world, with many different styles of kits and styles of readers. My bone kit is comprised of ethically obtained animal bones, teeth, stones, roots, and other curiosities that have each presented themselves to me and undergone ritual consecration. Each piece is imbued with its own spirit; it is through communication with these spirits that information is obtained.
Gain insight into:
Your Spirituality. Are you on the right path? Where should you focus?
Your Witchcraft. What type of magick should you be working? What spirits are vying for your attention?
Your Relationships. What's really the source of the conflict? What needs to be addressed to get through this?
Your Job. What is the long-term potential? What opportunities are you not seeing? What challenges lay waiting?”

FIXED STAR PARANS
Chloe Margherita
“As I have written about in the Mountain Astrologer, studying the fixed stars is to study the language of the soul. And by soul I mean the part of us that connects body and spirit. The soul also holds our essential purpose, one that we may have forgotten, but that precedes our current incarnation. Psychologist James Hillman writes: “Soul appears as a factor independent of the events in which we are immersed” and connects us to something grander.
In considering the fixed stars touching our charts, we may have a deeply felt, or even divine sense of meaning in our lives. Though a planet may help us understand the material manifestations of a life, looking to the stars speaks to who we always are and always have been
**You do not have to know much about fixed stars, or astrology in general to benefit from this reading** Anyone can walk outside at night and see the constellations. We all can understand and relate to stories and myths, which is much of what this reading is, rather than focusing on ore technical aspects of the chart.
A fixed star reading is also perfect if you want to connect more deeply to the stars and the divine beings inhabiting them— spirit relation need not be intimidating.
This reading is for you if you want more divinity, soulfulness, story-telling, creativity, and possibility in your life.
While we will focus primarily on a technique called fixed star parans, star conjunctions will also be considered.“

ELECTIONAL ASTROLOGY
Héloïse
“Electional astrology is the art of choosing the most auspicious time and date in order to undertake any type of venture. It is based on the belief that you can know how an event will unfold by looking at the location of the stars and planets from the moment it begins, and therefore that you can influence the outcome of any event.
As your astrologer, my role will be to determine the best moment in time in order for you to start something, and make sure it will be as successful as possible based on the principles of astrology.
Example of electional astrology include: applying for or starting a new job, starting a new relationship, getting married, going on a trip, relocating, moving homes, starting a new creative project, learning a language, making important financial decisions, applying for grants/scolarships, quitting a toxic habit (smoking), getting a divorce, organising social events (parties, work functions...), writing and submitting important pieces (books, academic essays), magical elections.”

WAYMAKING TO THE 12TH HOUSE
Jo O’Neill
“The 12th House is traditionally a place of darkness, isolation, and suffering, and often we feel we are dragged there. But if you could enter this place with intention and purpose, what would you find?
What it is:
Waymaking is about using technical building blocks to build imaginal doorways. This work is about storytelling: shifting from analogy to metaphor to story, and back again. An engaged and collaborative session, Waymaking to the 12th house is about accessing our imaginations and listening to what the chart has to say.
What it looks like in session:
Together, we will discuss and assess your 12th house according to traditional astrology techniques specifically geared toward finding a way to approach this space with purpose and intention. I will ask you to share and review your experience of your 12th house, and together we will explore it using storytelling and inspired engagement with the 12th house as an environment. There will be staring into the distance, waiting until an image moves, and meeting the characters in your story as they come to us.
This specialized offering utilizes my Narrative Astrology approach and is for anyone with a 12th house, especially lovers of Story.”

ANCESTRAL LINE HEALING, TAROT & BONE READING
Katy Swallow
“Ancestral Line Healing:
Our human and spiritual ancestral lines sometimes carry a great deal of energetic debris, and that debris sometimes acts as an obstacle to our overall well-being.
This service is provided by Katy Swallow and she uses a variety of techniques to clear the line. Some lines carry more trauma than others, which can require multiple sessions. (The goal is always to do the work efficiently, some tasks are just tougher.)
The debris will be cleared in order of priority (to be determined with spirit guidance.)
Tarot:
Ancestor Connection Readings are a way to connect to ancestors (both recent ones and those further in the past), and to learn more about them, and nature of your relationships to them. (Ancestor related content often emerges in regular readings, as well. This type of reading is just more intentionally tailored to the subject.)
Bone Reading:
Bone readings are an ancient way to allow spirits to tell us a story. Yes, real bones are a part of the process, as are charms and other objects. You may ask about specific topics or we can simply "see what happens," and let the bones prioritize what you need to hear at this time.”

KARMIC RECALIBRATION: A WORKSHOP ON THE LUNAR NODES & ECLIPSES
Kelsey Rose Tortorice
“the lunar nodes are the points at which the sun and the moon cross paths. a place where our eternal nature gets tangled up with our present incarnation, and vice versa.
every year and half, the nodes shift from one pair of signs into another. the sign polarity that housed the lunar nodes at the time of your birth signifies a flavor of duality in which you are experiencing karmic recalibration in this life. the place where the nodes transit in real-time signify a phase of collective re-orientation.
this class is suitable for beginning and intermediate astrology students.
workshop purchase includes a ~3 hr video recording plus a 44 page PDF of the workshop slides with lots of helpful graphics and information.“

THE ACORN
Kira Ryberg
“Have you ever wondered what your unique purpose is? James Hillman presented an idea called “the acorn theory” that suggest our lives are formed around a particular “image.” The acorn was born to become an oak tree, and you have your own acorn, too. This consultation seeks to uncover what that is by looking at key placements in your birth chart and using timing techniques to identify when you will encounter your purpose head-on.
This 60 minute consultation is a collaborative space where we can come together to figure out what your acorn is. We’ll look at images together, discuss your deepest dreams, get creative and dig into the parts of your chart that speak to your purpose. “

HAUNTED HOUSES: ANCESTRAL GIFTS & CURSES IN THE NATIVITY
Sasha Ravitch
“My signature necro-strological (necromantic astrology) consultation has become on of my clients’ favorites, and one of the most popular choices by prospective clients over the past four years. This consultation was designed in order to deeply explore, diagnose, and develop a plan for enhancing your inherited ancestral gifts (and relationships with healthy ancestors), while remediating your inherited ancestral curses and afflictions (and relationships with unwell ancestors). My Haunted Houses system relies heavily on the cathexes (hostile occupation) of planets within the second, forth, sixth, eighth, and twelve houses of the nativity, and is especially useful for those who have one or more planets within the aforementioned “unfortunate” houses.
Performed with sensitivity and tenderness for your cultural practices and folk-necromantic ancestral traditions, I utilize my background navigating the painful domain of early developmental wounding in order to help come up with a therapeutic and practical game plan for enhancing your quality of life and reducing your intergenerational trauma-patterns.
As this session will rely on both my Haunted Houses delineation system, as well as my signature “scrying of the birthchart”, you will leave the session having identified both healthy and safe ancestors to cultivate deeper relationship with, and recommendations around tending to those in need of additional elevation or containment. For those with more persistent difficulties, you will also leave with referrals for practitioners who are qualified to help.”

HORARY ASTROLOGY
Taal
“I have delineated 79 horary charts in my formal practice, 34 of which have resolved.
You’ll find write-ups of my 27 wins and 7 losses in my blog’s astrology section.
I practice horary astrology, which considers the chart of the moment I receive the question (no birth charts or event charts required).
I was trained and certified in horary astrology by Adam Elenbaas in the tradition of John Frawley. I studied the spiritual foundations of astrology with Hawk, also a student of Adam’s, in the lineage of Robert Schmidt, Project Hindsight, and the revival of traditional Hellenistic astrology.”
