 Lately I have been doing a lot of Clearing and Blessings of Property and I wanted to explain what this is and exactly how it can help change the feel of your home and affect your family’s behavior. Clearing a property removes old energy or spirit beings that have refused to leave the property. Blessing the property enforces the clearing and lays an energetic boundary so that only positive energy can cross the property line. It all comes down to energy… You are Affected by Energy Everything is made up of energy. You, me and even the chair you’re sitting on. Everything has a different vibration. The chair vibrates slowly and you vibrate at a higher level because you have movement. And there are many things, rather beings, which vibrate at an even higher level. They vibrate so high that they appear invisible to you, but for someone who can see quite well with my third eye, I see, feel, and hear them too. Your emotions are energy. Strong emotions, like happiness or hatred, can be left behind in a location. This is why places like battlefields, old homes and asylums have a lot of leftover energy, whether it is emotional energy or actual people who lived there and never went home into the light (aka Heaven, the Source, the Creator, the afterlife etc.) You Feel It but You Don’t Know What It Is How can you tell the difference between leftover energy and a spirit being(s)? It’s very difficult for someone who isn’t already a psychic medium to decipher what is going on. A psychic will be able to feel and pick up on the energy. A medium will be able to communicate with a spirit being and find out who they are and why they remain. A shaman will be able to guide those beings back home into the light. I can do all three. A Real Case Study A woman named Anya recently contacted me about the activity in her town home. She said that she saw shadows in her house, her husband was very angry lately and her son refused to leave the home. She is sensitive enough to feel that the energy of her home was not right. She suspected that a local battlefield had something to do with it. And when her family leaves their home, they all feel better. This was really the key piece of evidence…the family felt and acted better when they were outside their home. This made me sad because we all should feel safe and love to be in our home. Luckily she was willing to try a clearing and blessing to improve the situation.  Source: When I conduct a clearing, I try to connect with a spirit being that can give me information about what’s going on, a helper so to speak. I call on the guardians of the land. In this case, a female stepped forward who felt like an elemental goddess and protector of the land in question. She revealed to me that there were energetic ley lines running under the home which would explain the paranormal activity. The solution was to send love and compassion into the land beneath the home. All this takes is intention on the homeowner’s part, nothing fancy. My Son Sees an Old Man Anya said that her youngest son told her he had been seeing an old man in the home as well. I already felt that this was a ghost, a man who had lived and died and did not go home into the light. I was right, and he told me that he was a farmer that had lived in the area. I explained to him that he had passed and now had to go home. Whenever I encounter a lost soul like this, I also call on any other lost souls in the area who are ready to go home. The old man’s wife and son appeared, as well as three Confederate officers sitting on their horses. I guided them all into the light. Spirits Can Intensify Negative Feelings Lastly, I scanned the energetic fields of everyone in the home. All was clear except for the husband, who had been having anger management problems. He had a spirit attachment, a spirit who was attached to him as a source of energy. Many times ghosts attach themselves to living people because it can be a source of energy for them. They would never do this if they had already gone home into the light, which has an endless source of energy. The spirit attachment was feeding off his anger. In turn the husband felt even more anger. And this becomes a vicious loop. I removed the attachment and sent it to the light as well. Note that simply banishing a negative being just sends it away (in Catholicism they call this an exorcism). It doesn’t solve the problem and that spirit can attach itself to someone else. This is why it’s extremely important to have someone guide them into the light. This is the loving and compassionate thing to do because we all come from the same source, whether benevolent or negative. After conducting the clearing, I bless the home and property and seal the edges so that only loving energy will be welcome.  Photo by Drew Coffman The Energy Shifts
Oftentimes people can feel the difference right away after a clearing and blessing. Others will see a difference in a few days. It will FEEL better overall. Luckily, Anya updated me on how her family was doing recently, “Things are so much better for my son, it’s incredible. He has been happy, spending lots of time outside (which he hasn’t wanted to do in over a year), and is just generally more of a typical kid. My husband seems better too. I’m so glad we connected, I feel like things are really turning in a good direction all around!" I have to commend Anya for taking the proactive step of clearing and blessing her home. What would have been the alternative? Living with energy that was disruptive to her family, causing anger and isolation?

 In my last post, I described how I decided to never let fear stop me from pursuing my calling: intuitive energy healing and readings.
I’m doing what I love and helping others in a meaningful and profound way. If I let fear stop me, I wouldn’t be where I am today. If I didn’t try things I never did before, I wouldn’t know the strength and breadth of my abilities. I Am On The Express Train and I Am Not Getting Off I know who I am and what I can do. I am fearless and I really don’t care what other people think. In my government career, I cared what others thought, but I always sought the truth. Now I don’t care what others think and still seek the truth. That’s why I call my taboo persona the “Passionate Truth Seeker.” I am happier and more fulfilled now, and the changes that I have experienced in the past three years have been amazing. My Heroine’s Journey Continues I am on an amazing heroine’s journey and can’t wait to see what’s next. I want to help others improve their lives and find the answers and guidance they are looking for. My vision for their life is one full of magic, a place where they are in an active conversation with the universe. They know how to use divine tools to get the answers they need. And if they can’t do it for themselves, I can help them or find the right people to help them. I had to find out the answers myself, but it doesn’t have to be so hard. Seek out the right healer and get the answers you need now. You Must Follow Your Calling I was a very unhappy person in the work world. I had to carve my own niche and my place in it. I know when you don’t do the work of your calling, it’s a miserable place to be. I don’t want anyone to go through that and you don’t have to. It’s never too late to change your mind and to pursue your passions. As long as you have time on earth, you have time! Make the most of it! I can truly empathize with the following challenges…
My work as a psychic medium and energy Healer helps people unlock stuck energy, obtain spiritual guidance, move into fearlessness and continue to learn and grow in an awakened state in a magical world. Are you ready to face your fears and tackle those problems that you have been unable to resolve on your own and finally get the help you need? I’m here for you. Contact me and we’ll figure out together how to get back on the path of true happiness and fulfillment. Tina Clarke Psychic Medium and Energy Healer Founder, Stargazing Angel Facilitator, Unify Sister Circle of Charleston 571-276-3122 contactstargazingangel@gmail.com  In my last blog post, I decided to put all my crazy experiences out there to the world. It was so scary but I had this desire to share my stories with others. I was afraid of being criticized, but that was unfounded because it never happened. I made a big decision.
I decided to be fearless. That’s right. My friends and peers admired me for my fearlessness. I will try anything, and if someone asks me to do something and I never tried it, I will do it anyway. And in the metaphysical world, I can do it. Moving Through the Fear A lot of people let fear stop them in everything, but especially with the spiritual or metaphysical. There’s so many people who are intrigued with Tarot, honing their intuition, connecting with their spirit team (get your free guide here) or curious about energy healing. But fear stops them from exploring it, pushing their boundaries, taking classes or even just trying it for the first time. And that is a tragedy. I did see myself in a new light, but I was doing what I dreamed of and it was making me happy. So how did I become fearless, you ask? I felt the fear and kept moving. Don’t let fear stop you. Don’t let resistance stop you. The fear is temporary and your new found gifts might conquer your fear, in fact it will. This is the secret. Feel the fear and keep moving, don’t stop. The reward is bigger than the risk. Trust me. I am living proof of it. Click here for Part 5 of My Story.  Facing My Fear aka Worrying About What Others Thought In my last blog post, I described how I transitioned from my government career to mother but I still had that nagging feeling that there was something more. I had just discovered the metaphysical work of healing and magic, but there was one problem.
I was scared. My fear almost stopped me from doing this healing work. I found that I had so many experiences I wanted to share with the world, and contemplated starting a blog. But I was afraid of the trolls, criticizers or that people would attack me and say that I was crazy, fake or a witch. You know what happened to witches in the past, right? The Critics Were Awfully Quiet But guess what? I never got that kind of flack. People read my blog and sometimes they commented but I’ve never been criticized. My mentor told me that she never had a problem with her blog and then she said, “Don’t expect a problem and you won’t have a problem. So I didn’t. Simple as that. Not to say that I didn’t have reservations on posting my content, especially with my family and friends. But this was a new normal for me and I was and am divinely supported. In my next installment of my story, I made a decision to go on with my healing work and stuck with it.  The author in 2005, the same year she left her government job Yesterday, I described why I had to walk away from my government career. Everything I had tried in the government did not end well, especially my last job where I discovered a male manager was sexually harassing his female staffers and I ended up with a burst appendix. Now I was jobless and pursuing motherhood.
I took my time off from working by exploring being a home stager for a while, but because I had a baby and no reliable babysitter, it wasn’t a convenient for for me as a new mom. So motherhood it was. And I was so much happier than I was in my government career so I felt I made the right choice. The Universe also validated my my choices by allowing my husband and I to pay off two cars and my student loan while I stayed home with my children. But I always had this nagging thought, I am here for a reason, what is it? What am I supposed to be doing? I am here to help but how? There are Real Psychics Out There I had a friend who was into metaphysical subjects and just recently became a Reiki Master. She heard that a psychic was in town and giving readings and both her and I signed up together for moral support. This psychic reading blew my mind, especially because I finally talked to my father who passed away in 1991. The psychic was accurate about everything. Everything. I wanted to know more. I started reading every book I could find on reincarnation, channeling, psychics, mediumship etc. I read them all and did every exercise in the books. I wrote copious notes on everything I read. In 2014, I found a teacher who taught the Tarot. In this class, I discovered I was a medium and began training with her. For the next two years, I learned everything she could teach me, including Shamanism and Reiki. I Learned That I Was a Natural Psychic/Medium and Healer Everything I could try in this arena I could do and do it quite well. And it was fun! I was excited and thrilled. And when I did readings or energy healing, I noticed it helped people. I could see on their face the difference, they went from stressed to looking happy, relaxed and peaceful. I knew I found my calling and nothing was going to stop me now. Let’s say I opened the door and entered it, and never turned back. Stay tuned for part-3-of-my-story.html when fear almost stopped me in my tracks.  The author in 2001, when she worked for the federal government Have you ever walked away from everything you worked for? After earning a Master's degree and working at a government career for eight years at four different agencies, I had to walk away from it all or I thought I would die. In fact, I almost did. And thank Goddess I did, because I would become happier than ever, and in time, find my true calling.
In 2005, I worked at my very last full time job for the government. I earned a Master's Degree in Public Administration because I always wanted to help people and I thought government work would accomplish this (I mean certainly working for a private corporation was not going to help anyone right?). I had high aspirations but the most difficult part? The people I worked with! I had just discovered that a male manager in my office had been sexually harassing his staff for years, even sleeping with some of them. I couldn’t believe it, yet I could, because he seemed sleazy that way. I told the wrong person (one of his attractive young staffers) and she spilled the beans. My Female Boss Betrayed All Women Suddenly I was the one in trouble. I found something out that wasn’t supposed to get out and unfortunately my boss took HIS side, the man who had been sexually harassing his staffers for years. I was disappointed that my boss, a woman, took his side. Not only did I feel betrayed, but I felt like she betrayed all women. How could she stick up for him? Why would you protect a man who sexually harassed women? It didn’t make any sense. Suddenly I felt like I was on the chopping block and I was. I was new to the department and expendable...I was still within my one year probation as a new hire. My boss made sure that I got fired within that time frame. The Cat That Caught the Canary Becomes the Scapegoat This job, and its crazy circumstances, was the last of many disappointing jobs in government. I wasn’t able to help people at all. I was besieged by rules, regulations, agendas, politics and reputation. I was a cat that accidentally caught the canary, and I was surrounded by other cats who wanted to destroy me and the canary, at the same time. They wanted to wipe me, and my discovery of their dirty little secret, out for good. Naively I tried to hang in there, all the while feeling trapped and powerless. I lost so much power that my solar plexus chakra, the energetic center of my power, literally leaked out of my appendix. My appendix burst and I ended up in the hospital for a week. I returned to work but the feeling of being trapped and powerless didn’t go away. I really had no choice but to leave. Leaving My Job Was a Matter of Life and Death My appendicitis said, “leave or die.” I got the message loud and clear. So I happily left that job and decided to have a family. I knew I was unhappy with my work in the government and although I invested in years of education and time, I had to walk away. The Universe was clearly saying “this is not the path for you.” Do you want to know how I became a Psychic Medium and Energy Energy Healer and how that they came to pass? In my next blog post I will describe the next step of my journey.  Most people fail to understand Tarot readings WORK. But don’t worry, it’s never too late to try a Tarot reading. As a professional Tarot reader, I will explain exactly how a Tarot reading works, why it works and why such information is invaluable to you. In a world full of information at your fingertips and literally a Google search away, the Tarot gives relevant information, guidance and advice for you.
The Tarot is a pack of 78 cards with five suits, used for fortune-telling. The suits are typically swords, cups, coins (or pentacles), batons (or wands), and a permanent suit of trump. The cards have very few words on them and they are full of pictures and symbols, like this: Forget what You Heard About the Tarot For as long as we can remember, the Tarot has been called evil, the work of devil, magic and therefore fake, dismissed by science or simply ignored as mere entertainment or wishful thinking. But I am here to tell you that none of the above is true. I am a professional Tarot reader and I have given dozens of readings that were useful, enlightening and emotionally relevant for my clients. In a world where science is the be all and end of all of evidence and logical thinking prevails, it is incredibly challenging to prove that the Tarot works because the proof relies on the client's feelings. Yes, feelings. A Great Tarot Reading Makes You Feel Better About Your Decisions How do we measure feelings? How do you measure happiness? A sense of peace? Relief? If my client receives a Tarot card that warns her that someone is being dishonest with her and she finds out that it is true, is it because she expected it? Or because she was looking for that dishonest person in her life? Or did the Tarot card actually accurately predict what happened? You know my answer right? The Tarot predicted it. Rather, the Tarot warned her about it and she received useful advice. What could a deck of Tarot cards with pictures and symbols tell you about yourself? Everything. Time and time again, my clients have reacted to Tarot readings by asking, “How did you know that?” or proclaiming “That was amazingly accurate” or “You were right, the Tarot cards predicted it and it happened.” How Does a Tarot Reader Know All That Stuff? How did I know so much information about a client from a few Tarot cards? The card’s pictures and symbols offer the answer, and I, as the reader, decode the meaning of these pictures and symbols, along with my sense of feeling, knowing, hearing and intuition. Forget the image of the dicey fortune teller who reads the Tarot, pulls all the scary cards and demands more money from you when you need more information. Folks, the Tarot is a real and extremely valuable tool to get guidance from your higher self and your spiritual team of angels and spirit guides on the path you are taking or about to take in life. If you come upon a fork in the road, do you choose a path blindly? Or do you want to consult an accurate and reliable source for advice? I would choose the reliable advice and that is what the Tarot gives you. In addition, the advice is personal, custom, valuable and accurate for you. The Tarot Told Me All the Information I Needed to Know About You I don’t need to know anything about you to read your Tarot cards. In fact, I don’t want to know anything. The more I don’t know, the better. The Tarot will reveal everything I need to know and more importantly, what you need to know. Anything my client needs to know will come up during the Tarot reading for sure, 100 percent. Nothing important is left out. The Tarot will choose the topics, regardless of the questions that you ask of it. You have now consulted a higher power and that higher power is giving you the answer you are seeking. It’s now time to listen and pay attention. Spirit (anything in invisible form, like passed loved ones, angels guides, ancestors, even elementals etc.) works through me to help interpret the Tarot cards in your best interest. For example, I gave a Tarot reading to a mother who was getting ready to divorce her husband after many years of marriage. She wanted to know what would happen in her future. She was a teacher by training and was expecting to return to teaching in the fall. I pulled a card that said, “A Change in Career is Possible.” She didn’t know what it meant at the time, but I advised her to keep an open mind about what could come across her path career-wise. Tarot Advises and It Happens A few weeks later, the mother sent me a message that she is pursuing a career change! And she seemed delighted that it came true. She received a warning and even an invitation to be open-minded about her career and it happened. This is what the Tarot can do for you. In the end, what do you lose? Maybe you don’t want to invest $80 in a Tarot reading, but do you want to make decisions blindly? What do you gain? What if you could receive really good advice and save yourself a lot of heart ache in the process? I would say that $80 was a bargain! You gain insight, knowledge, advice or warnings of what can come to pass for you. To me, and for all of my clients, that information is priceless and that's what a Tarot reading can do for you. Are you ready your personal Tarot reading full of insights, invaluable knowledge and wisdom on YOU? Tina Clarke of Stargazing Angel is a professional Tarot card reader and she can do readings in person, by phone or video. You can book a Tarot session with her here.  I met Dr. Allison Brown at a grand opening party of a local community center. When I learned that she was looking for Reiki volunteers for a program called Reiki for Vets, I quickly signed on. I now share this amazing healing experience with others, including disabled military veterans and their families in the Charleston, SC area. For those of you who do not know, Reiki is a Japanese word that means Universal Life Energy. It is a practice where practitioners are trained to channel this healing energy to clients, friends, families or animals. There are three levels of Reiki and the highest level practitioner has the title of Reiki master. You can learn more about Allison on her website www.drallisonbrown.com and www.reikiforvets.org/ SG: Describe your latest projects. How did you get started? Reiki for Vets started in 2016. We now have 10 volunteers and provide free Reiki at two clinics in Charleston: one in Goose Creek and the other at the downtown VA hospital. Reiki is free for disabled Vets, their caretaker or significant other, and the VA medical practitioners. Our goal now is to raise money to certify veterans in Reiki 1 so that they can utilize Reiki for themselves and their families. Around the time I learned Reiki, I suddenly had a creative burst of inspiration and started to explore my spirituality. I found solace in exploring and expressing myself in my writing. I am now working on a book entitled The Journey Within. I write about the fear conservative Christians face with certain taboo topics, such as psychics, mediumship, angels, energy healing etc. SG: Who are you helping and how? I am assisting the disabled vet population, particularly vets with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Any disabled veteran with health or mental health issues currently being served through the VA can participate. My book the Journey Within focuses on Christians who are seeking love instead of living in fear. For people who know very little about Reiki, what is the most important thing one should understand? Reiki draws upon the Universal Source, God or the Creator. We can draw on that energy, and all humans can do that. It’s not scary, it’s just who we are. I am doing the same thing that I did in the Christian church when I was called to create a team of hands-on healers. Why does Reiki exist? What are we supposed to use it for? Reiki exists because the founder, Makao Usui, was able to put energy into a useful form. It has always existed, but he figured out how to make it usable for the lay person. Reiki is used to restore emotional, mental and physical condition. It helps restore balance and peace, allowing our bodies to heal. SG: Who inspires you? In her book Big Magic, the author Elizabeth Gilbert writes that creativity is out there ready to be manifested. I also love to follow Martha Beck’s column in Oprah magazine because she has a wonderful way of describing spiritual subjects. SG: What’s the most important thing a teacher or mentor taught you and why? Don’t rely on another person for spiritual guidance; I need to seek it myself and trust myself. It’s not wise to lean on a spiritual guru. SG: When was the first time you realized you were different, especially spiritually? When I was 13, I started questioning the priests in my Episcopalian church. I brought up subjects that didn’t make sense to me. For example, I wondered how could God create humans and punish them for not being Christians? I am a “why” person. I have an inner rebel that’s supposed to figure things out. SG: When did you decide to find out what your gifts were and how to use them? In the late 1990s, I was called to be a healer and create a group that practiced hands-on healing. Six to seven healers would lay their hands on one person. A year and a half ago I learned Reiki. There’s not much difference between hands-on healing and Reiki. SG: If you could give advice to your younger self about your gifts, what would you say? Stop being afraid, everything is based in love. SG: What advice would you give to someone who just discovered their spiritual gifts? Seek out a mentor, but do it cautiously, and trust yourself. You need to learn, but you must return to your own authority. SG: What part of your gift is your favorite and why? What is your least favorite and why? I love the gift of healing, and I receive as much as I give. My least favorite is that I feel a responsibility for not only the veterans I serve but also for the volunteers that I coordinate. Sometimes it’s difficult being in charge. SG: Tell me something funny about your gifts. I worked very hard on the proposal to start Reiki for Vets. When I submitted it, I got back a message simply saying, “Yes!” I thought it would be harder to get the program approved. SG: Why do you think the Creator gave us these gifts? And what are we supposed to use them for? Everything we do on Earth is to learn how to give and receive unconditional love. Have fun and enjoy each other! Life is meant to be fun! SG: Why are we here? We are here to give and receive love. We choose an agenda before we incarnate here. SG: What do you wish the world would know or understand about you? It’s not about me. Do not be a sheep, choose your own path. I want to guide people out of fear. SG: What do you wish the world would know or understand? Love yourself first, trust yourself and don’t be afraid. We are all interconnected. Imagination is important, and it’s another form of reality. Imagination is how you create your reality. We are here to create! What do you envision the world will be like in the future? Pay attention to the stars, the solar system and the energy from the sun. We’re undergoing a change and loving energy surrounds us. Humans are changing and the earth is changing – we are waking up and will create a better world! 5 Quick questions:

How to Die Without Regrets: What I Know About How the Dead Feel After They Go To the Other Side7/23/2017  My aunt and I in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. Last month my only aunt on my dad’s side passed away suddenly in her sleep. We weren’t close at all and barely talked since my grandmother’s death in 1996.
My aunt had acted like she didn’t want to have anything to do with us (me, my mom and my sister) so essentially we went our separate ways. It wasn’t a hard thing for me to do, since she said some pretty nasty things to me when we visited my grandmother in the hospital. On the night that she passed, I had a really strange and disturbing dream about my father (who passed in 1991). I was walking with him and he told me he felt dizzy. I told him to hang on to my arm for balance. We came to some stairs and as he started going down them, he fell, in achingly slow motion, down the stairs until he landed on his back. I ran to him and he was crying, trying to sit up, and he said, "I'm sorry. I am so sorry." I told him it's OK, just don't move. I knew he was telling me sorry for leaving me, at the age 18. I know he is sorry and I accept that he is gone. Another strange synchronicity is the day my aunt left Oregon to drive to New Hampshire was May 24th, the anniversary of my father's death. By the time she made it to New Hampshire, she was gone. Now being a natural and practicing medium for over three years, I figured she would show up soon after she passed and she did, along with my grandmother and my father. I was surprised they ALL showed up in my bathroom, of all places, to talk to me. I mean I have been in touch with them but they pretty much stay on the Other Side (like healthy spirits do). This is how the conversation went: Aunt: Tina, I am so sorry about what I did and said, I really felt close to your mom. Me: You did? Because you really didn’t show it. You didn’t even talk to us for 20 years. Aunt: Yes I really did, I wish I had done many things. Grandpa: I wish I had told you more about my family history, especially when you asked about all the old pictures I had. Dad: I wish I had tried hard and stayed longer with you. Me: Well it’s too late, there’s nothing we can do about it now. Next time, if you incarnate, TRY HARDER. Was I being harsh? Yeah! I couldn’t believe I was getting all little this remorse. I mean, isn’t it a little late for this? All three of them died fairly young. My grandmother was very overweight and died of liver problems in her 60s. My dad passed away next, of a massive heart attack at the age of 46 (yes that is NOT a typo). My aunt died in her 60s too. They were all big people and they have one thing in common: they gave up because now they are expressing all this remorse to me. All can NOT be well when you pass. When you go to the Other Side, you have much more awareness and a hold of the big picture. But if you didn’t do the things you wanted to do and experience, guess what, you’ll regret it. Yes life is hard. A life on Earth is not for the faint of heart. But you have to make the most of what you have. You have to find joy in your life. You have to treat yourself well and be healthy so you can live a long time. I felt like my grandmother, my dad and my aunt all gave up. They just couldn’t deal with life. And guess what, they regret it. Don’t let that be you. Do your best and never stop trying. When you fall, get BACK UP. And keep going. Everything’s temporary. Trust me. If you wait long enough, your back will stop hurting, that headache will go away and that person you hate at work will quit their job. Trust me. Now go out there and live your life and never ever give up!  Darren Taylor, aka Asbjorn Torvol, actually reached out to me after reading and loving my blog interviews. I interviewed a friend of his earlier this year Jerrod Reader. He has been experiencing great success after publishing several books on magick and calls himself a Norse shaman and magician.
Darren woke up at a young age, in fact, I believe he was born awake. He never took what was taught to him and accepted it. He always questioned it and searched for his own answers. In that way, we have that in common. Growing up Catholic, the teachings never sat well with me. By the age of 14 I actually resented the vengeful God and decided if that was God, then I didn’t believe in Him. Later I started to believe in God once again and you can read about that story here. Being a Shaman myself I was curious about his views of the world and how we can use magick to help us achieve our goals in life. SG: Describe you and your business. How did you get started? I grew up in a Christian family and started exploring other religions at the age of 7. I just had too many questions about Christianity. I was fascinated by all religions. At age 11, I started to practice magick. I was fortunate enough to study under many mentors. I have a passion for ascension and elevating the self. It was a form of escapism, like a hobby. I started to share my research with others, including my views on the connection between psychology and magic. I dissect magick. I want to understand why it works and how it works. Magick isn’t mystical, it’s playing with cause and effect and it is psychological. SG: Who are you helping and how? A lot of people are lost and don’t have answers. Magick is everywhere and it is life itself. My job is to give people information to challenge their perspectives. I started sharing information on what I have learned. I did livestreams and videos addressing psychology and dogma. Spirituality has become so commercialized. There are people out there to make money and complicate things so people can’t do it for themselves. I want to teach people how to use magick for themselves. My first book Ramblings of an Apprentice Vitki became very popular. I wrote it just to see if people would buy it and to my surprise, they did. I created the Heathen podcast and soon got thousands of followers. Even though I have a lot of people who read my books and follow me, I also have people who hate me. When you are doing something worthwhile, you become divisive. For people who know very little about magick, what is the most important thing one should understand? How do you relate to magick? What do the tools mean? For example, why do you use the color green for healing? What does it mean to you? This is how magick becomes meaningful to you, by individualizing it and analyzing its meaning. Why does magick exist? What are we supposed to use it for? You are always using magick. Magick is the experience of life. It’s the mechanics of how life works. Magick is always in motion. SG: Who inspires you? S.Ben Qayin inspires me as a friend. He is genuine and worked hard for his success. He is also a mentor and father figure to me. E.A Koetting does what he does and gets it done. He’s not afraid of to be himself. SG: What’s the most important thing a teacher or mentor taught you and why? Grant Cardone said “don’t be a little bitch.” This is how I approach my work, I own it and I am not victimized by circumstance. I persevere. I have a vision of myself and I choose to act like I am successful and that I am a rock star. If you embody it, you become it. I am not afraid to blow my own trumpet. Timothy Donahue taught me to espouse perspectivism. Mythology is always open to man’s interpretation. SG: When was the first time you realized you were different, especially spiritually? I was too young to remember. I have always been the black sheep and a freak. My family calls me the weirdo. I’ve always embraced this about myself. SG: When did you decide to find out what your gifts were and how to use them? At 11 I learned that magick and the study of religions was worth my time. Since then I have always been searching for answers. SG: If you could give advice to your younger self about your gifts, what would you say? I don’t think I would give my younger self advice. The only reason why I’ve learned is because of the mistakes that I have made. SG: What advice would you give to someone who just discovered their spiritual gifts? Keep it simple. Explore the self and don’t over complicate things. If you can’t make it manifest for yourself, don’t offer it others (in a business). SG: What part of your gift is your favorite and why? What is your least favorite and why? I love my ability to dissect and observe; to identify things that work and doesn’t work. My least favorite is being able to see who is genuine and isn’t and exposing the scam artists. I have discovered that some friends weren’t real friends this way. SG: Tell me something funny about your gifts. I decided to do a dedication ritual and chose the desert as the location. The problem was it was freezing and I was trying to do this naked so I lasted about 60 seconds. In addition, it was next to an apartment building so anyone could see me. Not the best choice. SG: Why do you think the Creator gave us these gifts? And what are we supposed to use them for? We are the gift; we are the creators and the destroyers. There are no degrees of separation. We create an individual and collective consciousness. The universe is a large mind. How did the universe start from nothing? Where do you think thoughts come from? Silence (the infinite possibility). SG: Why are we here? Because we are and because we can. Free will and infinite possibility allows it. SG: What do you wish the world would know or understand about you? I do genuinely care about people and I love Taylor Swift (laughs). I am not out to make money as my critics would have you believe, I will help people even if they can’t pay me. It’s not about the money. SG: What do you wish the world would know or understand? There are no set guidelines to do magick, ascend or be successful. There is no true way, it depends on the individual. What do you envision the world will be like in the future? I am not sure. I don’t know if we have a future, maybe we will become extinct? I would like to have a great future. We have to work together to accomplish anything. You can contact Darren via his website www.asbjorntorvol.com, Youtube videos and podcast.
