“It felt as if she had dropped a long, long way from the moon…” That’s how Cheyenne arrives in The Faeries of Willow Tribe—a little out of place, tender-hearted, trying to understand why she is here. And for me, that opening has never been “just” a beginning. It’s a mirror of life: the feeling of landing in a world that’s beautiful, yet unfamiliar… and learning, slowly, that you belong. My mom was practical. She believed in what was real, what was steady, what could be

Beloved Friends, There is a specific kind of silence that follows a great storm. For a time, my hands were still, and the apothecary at WildlyAiyana grew quiet. I have been in the "Long Winter" of the soul—a space of deep integration and fierce protection. But the earth does not stay dormant forever. It waits for the right vibration to crack the seed. I am writing to you today not as a guide who has "arrived," but as a traveler who has returned from the edge with a han

When we begin to awaken our sensuality, we may feel raw or exposed. Boundaries are the "skin" of our spiritual body. They allow us to open up without feeling overwhelmed.

I have spent decades carrying a story. I started writing it in 1987 and published it in 2007—a story of Xandrah, a Golden Dragon mother taken by the cold "minds of science," and her son Oyasin, left to find his way out of the caverns of Hate, Fear and Greed. I didn't realize then that I was writing my own future.

Rasayana Finding the Juice: Why I’m Returning to Rasa Coming back to the body after trauma isn’t just about stretching muscles; it’s about reclaiming my Rasa . In the Vedic tradition, Rasa  is often translated as "essence" or "juice." Think of the sweetness of a perfectly ripe mango or the way a wilting plant perks up the moment it’s watered. That "perking up"—that rush of vital life force—is Rasa. It is the fluid reality of being alive. When we’ve been through a dark seaso

Prana Mudra is often called the “life force gesture.” Prana isn’t an idea in this work—it’s a current felt when breath becomes honest, when the spine remembers how to rise without bracing, when attention stops sprinting ahead and finally comes home.

I hereby revoke all previous contracts, known or unknown, that have allowed my energy to be harvested, dimmed, or diverted. I call back every fragment of my soul, every breath of my Prana, and every spark of my light from all directions of time and space.

There are moments on this path when life interrupts the very process that was saving us. If you’re a survivor—if your body has ever had to leave itself to stay safe—then “coming back” isn’t a concept. It’s an embodied, holy practice. And this is where I begin: not with performance, not with perfection, not with spiritual bypassing… but with a gentle return. I’m often asked, “How can something as physical as desire be spiritual?” My answer, shaped by Ayurvedic intell

n the pine-cathedral where fog gathers like old prayers, the fae keep a law older than crowns: no blessing is complete until it is spoken aloud. Rhiannon Sant was raised among the Needlewood clans—fae who braid their vows into evergreen boughs and leave offerings of honeyed words at the roots. Her gift was voice-magic: not the kind that commands, but the kind that restores. A sentence from Rhiannon could settle a frightened child. A lullaby could calm a storm inside the ch

In the oldest pinewood—where the needles fall like soft prayers and the air smells of resin and remembering—there is a path that only appears to those who have lost their hope and still choose kindness anyway. That is where Solera Pinesong first heard the tiny, impossible sound that changed her life: the hum of wings, like a heartbeat made of light. Solera was not born with wings. She earned them.

By Aiyana Saint Gimbel For a long time, my life was a symphony of Sattva—a journey through Ayurvedic rituals, the study of sacred texts, and a deep, blissful immersion in sacred sensuality. I lived in the lightThen, the unthinkable happened. I walked through a valley of darkness that no one should ever have to see, experiencing the profound violation of sexual torture, isolation and forced celibacy for 10 years.

When we have experienced deep violation, our Prana (life force) often retreats from the surface of the skin to the core of the body as a survival mechanism. These rituals are designed to gently “call the spirit back” into the limbs and the senses, rebuilding Ojas (inner resilience) and soothing the Vata (nervous system) imbalance that follows trauma.

From the veiled mists of ancient LeMuria, where memory is as deep as the ocean and as clear as a flute’s pure note, emerges Melodia—the Song Keeper, the Freedom Flute Bearer, and daughter of the Mitakuye prophecy.

Long before we had written language, before temples were built or borders were drawn, we had stories. Around fires under star-filled skies, elders spoke and children listened. Stories were not entertainment—they were ceremony. They were the sacred threads that wove communities together, carried wisdom across generations, and quite literally activated the future.
