What’s the deal with permission?

Imagine, if you will, a scenario where you’re enjoying some quiet time and well-deserved pampering in a nice, hot, bubble-filled bath and some stranger comes through your bathroom door and hops into the tub with you! Afterwards they make a mess, dirtying your towels and whatever else they feel like doing in your home, they may even go rifling through your underwear drawer! My opinion of that scenario is a complete invasion of personal space!

Your energetic space is no different although, it is more susceptible of invasion, than your physical space. When it comes to energy, the boundaries of time, distance and physicality are null and void. For example, have you ever gone to a busy shopping mall, the day before the Winter holiday? If so, how did you feel once you got home? Often times, we don’t even realize how much of other peoples’ “crap” gets deposited into our energy fields.

Because of my own personal ethics surrounding someone’s energetic space, I WILL NOT “tap into”, connect with, or invade your personal energetic field until I receive your permission.  I want you to know that I’m present with you. I want to be invited and welcomed.  I will NEVER just show up.  I know how I would feel if someone did it to me, and I am not comfortable at all, doing that to someone else.

Along this same line, I DO NOT work with 3rd parties. I work 1 on 1 with YOU. I will not tap into someone else’s energy space for either a reading or a consultation for a custom piece, on your behalf. If you do ask, please know that the answer will always be NO. I do not have THEIR permission.

What is a Compatibility Check and why do need one?

A Compatibility Check is a complimentary service, that provides us both the option to see if we even want to work together or not, with either an Intuitive Oracle or Custom Alchemy . Working with me is a commitment both in time, energy and money and before investing in yourself, I offer this service to give us both the choice to move forward or not.

When booking a Compatibility Check, you can choose to connect with me either by phone (U.S. and Canada only), Facebook Messenger or Zoom.

What are your readings all about?

Sanctuary's Blessings Intuitive Oracle is a unique translation of information, intuitively and empathically channeled through my interpretation of YOUR cards, for the purpose of assisting you in unfolding the undiscovered aspects of YOUR story.

Every single reading is unique to YOU. Upon receiving your permission to connect in with your energy, I allow Spirit to work through me, for the highest good of all. Deck choices, cards chosen, even the placement of the cards, is all customized for your reading, by Spirit.

There may be times, during your reading, that I may not be allowed by Spirit to interpret certain cards. All I’m usually asked to do is point them out to you, and allow you the privacy of that card’s meaning for YOU.

Sometimes I feel like an explorer, delving into unknown spaces where your information is. Some of these “spaces” most would not venture to. (Shadow Plane) Everywhere I expand to, I do with an open mind and with compassionate understanding. Sometimes I cannot give you the actual answers you may be seeking, because they’re not mine to find, they’re yours. I do uncover the right questions for you to explore for yourself. My role is to translate the story to the best of my abilities.

The actual logistics of the reading are as basic as possible, for both of us.  I DO NOT touch anything, until I have your permission. I take time to intuitively choose incense, cleanse the space and allow the decks and cards to come out.  I allow the readings to flow, however they’re meant to, for YOU. We connect when it’s our time, take however long it takes, to allow the WHOLE story to unfold, and learn something about ourselves along the way.

What do you mean by “Alchemy”?

The term alchemy, in general, is more of a concept, than an actual definition, according to most modern dictionaries. Alchemy is, in essence, the idea of transforming matter in the way of base metals into gold, for example. This concept, is in fact considered the forerunner of chemistry.

I practice alchemy in a more general, yet still very magickal way. In essence, I transform the many components into something completely new, the parts that make the whole, so to speak. Many “ingredients” are utilized in my version of alchemy, including both physical and non-physical aspects.

What’s so “special” about Sanctuary’s Blessings’ creations?

With my concept of alchemy already explained, it makes this question easier to answer. When I began this journey, I wasn’t sure what, if anything, was special about my crafting, but did it anyway and soon discovered there was much more to it than I realized.

Along with the physical components, I imbue non-physical components as I mentioned. These non-physical “parts” include many energies for protection, grounding, etc. and are intuitively crafted to be a match for what you may NEED to harmonize your energies, as guided by Spirit

An amazing aspect of the crafted piece, is one specific ingredient, that I wasn’t aware of at first, but realized was the most essential, in unlocking the dormant magick of it…YOU!!! Since every piece, whether custom, or not, is created specifically for YOU, the potent energies do not fully emerge until it is in YOUR presence and with you!! The alchemized piece needs YOU! You are part of the magick as well!

Sometimes what we want is not necessarily what we may need. The energies in YOUR piece that is crafted, matches what you NEED, and if somehow, your conscious energies are not in sync with the energies of the piece, it will release itself either by breaking or by wanting to be regifted. The “release mechanism” also functions, when whatever intended assistance the piece was crafted for, has been completed, and it wishes to move on.

What are Chakra Synergies/Rhythms?

These pieces were created to aide in activating/aligning/balancing your chakra centers to offer energetic healing and vitality.

There are 7 main Chakras, that most people are aware of: Root - at the base of the spine; Sacral - just below the navel; Solar Plexus - just above the navel; Heart - within the chest area; Throat - within the neck area; Third Eye - lower forehead, between the eyebrows; Crown - very top of the head.

Each of these energy centers has a role to play, contributing to the well-being of our body, mind, emotions and spirit. For more in-depth information, I encourage you to explore this topic, to reach your own understanding.

  *crystals listed in order from (left to right) Root to Crown unless otherwise stated.* 

*note: the length measurement is the smallest it will fit, most are adjustable to fit bigger, otherwise individual photo will state differently.*

What are Element Rhythms?

With these pieces, the five elements of: Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Spirit/Ether are called upon to assist the wearer in opening up to the Elements' corresponding energies.

The elemental energies both within ourselves and in our outer environment, can affect our equilibrium and well-being. Aspects of ourselves have metaphysical correlations to the five Elements and their energies and we humans subconsciously strive to harmonize these energies with our own unique individual signatures.

I encourage you to explore this concept, to uncover your own understanding.  Prices vary. Descriptions and specifics with each photo.

What exactly are Triads?

Sanctuary’s Blessing's Triads are specific intent magnifiers, created to empower and support your well-being in the self-healing you may be working through that corresponds with their intent . Three pieces per triad, usually a bracelet, anklet and necklace, but other piece ideas may present themselves. Prices vary. More detailed info with individual photos.
