From the Spirited Witch
Goodies and good things from Diana and Golden Apple Metaphysical
Hello, Curious Spirits!
The week has been wild, and I am sure my astrology colleagues are having a field day. United Healthcare, South Korea, the TikTok ban - we need FallOutBoy and Billy Joel to collaborate on yet another rendition of We Didn't Start the Fire.
I've been cramming for my insurance licensing exam since the beginning of November. I should have taken it last week, but a snowstorm canceled the test.
Yes, I am reconsidering my career choices at the moment. A saving grace: the insurance company that appointed me has a reputation for good ethics. I am not the least bit worried about "losing my magick" to the practicalities of the working world. Spirit is around me all the time, and all that is sacred consciousness.
Golden Apple Goodness at the Feathered Outlaw on December 14th starting at 11 am
I'm struggling to memorize the Medicare alphabet soup and seeking a job that meets my family's needs. Meanwhile, my business partner Nikki is prepping for the Feathered Outlaw Yule market in Alameda. Admission is $5, and you get treated to an amazing range of magickal vendors. I am so excited for her; wow, I miss the Bay! If you're a Bay Area denizen, make the time to visit and enjoy some unique and meaningful items.
Just because I need a traditional job does not mean I'm shuttering my shingle. However, I will likely have to change my hours of availability. I will offer additional operation hours on Sunday evenings Eastern time, excluding common holidays, starting 12/15. Hey, I like my immediate family, and I want to spend time with them!
Spiritual Services
First, I do offer readings: you can book me at DianaRajchel.com/booking. I work with intuition, spirit mediation, tarot, and oracle options. At times, I prescribe spells. Other times, I recommend shifts in thinking. The topic can be career, love, ancestral challenges, and more. I want you to come away with tools for your empowerment.
Want to buy a gift card? You can do so here: dianarajchel.com/shop
In addition, I have a fledgling Spirited Witch Patreon that offers monthly readings and more, starting at the $50 membership level. Also: you can now give Patreon memberships as gifts.
Coming in 2025: Magickal Modalities - learn the baselines of how you perceive psychic input. A class will be available on DianaRajchel.com, and an enhanced class will be posted on my Patreon!
Also, Yoga
I have my YTT 200 and teach yoga on Saturday mornings (yin, 9:30 am EST) and Monday nights (Hatha into Restorative, 6:30 pm EST.) While I love to have students in person, any class I teach is available by streaming upon request. Drop-ins are $15, and you can purchase a 10-class pass for $135. Sign up at https://whereyoureatyoga.com/class-signup/ - I will need your email to contact you about any schedule changes and to supply the Zoom link.
Yes, 1:1 sessions and classes for your family, community, or workplace are also available!
FREE! It's OK to Hang Out
There are community features on the Spirited Witch Substack that all who honor the laws of hospitality are welcome to enjoy. While Substack does shift a lot of things around, as long as they allow me to, I will keep the Spirited Witch chat and post discussions open to everyone. If you find something I posted interesting and it inspires you to share your own spooky stories or ask questions, by all means, post in the post comments or in the Spirited Witch chat!
Happy Solstice Season - may you find spookiness, delight, and empowerment!
Diana
I just read your December 8th update.
BLESS YOU, Diana. Good luck on your exam. Enjoy the next several weeks, what the song calls, "It's the most wonderful time of the year."
