Healing The Spirit: Astrology, Archetypes & Artmaking
Religion & Spirituality:Spirituality
What does it mean to claim our place at the magician's table? How do we come into right, alive relationship with our emergence? How can the archetype of The Magician assist us in this process of naming, claiming, and sharing our gifts?
My heart feels so full in sharing this potent conversation with my dear friends and teachers, Britten LaRue and Rebecca Padgett. One of Britten's offerings is called The Magician’s Table: A Workshop Circle for Emerging Readers. This year, Rebecca will join Britten as the 13th Reader, a liminal role that both facilitates the experience and receives the collective magic as a fellow participant - so I took it as an opportunity to explore the idea of emergence from their lenses.
During our conversation, I felt that we collectively opened a magical portal. The transmissions that came through felt potent at the time, but are even more prescient in their relevance during the release.
In the final days of Venus in her exaltation in Pisces during this particular cycle, many of us are inspired by the luscious dreams and visited by the fertile visions. Yet, we may also perceive our current limitations: the ways we need to stretch, to expand, to deepen our capacity to actually build the world where these dreams and visions can grow tangible roots.
We offer this conversation as a balm for you. Allow yourself to receive. Allow yourself to make space for the wonder of your emergence.
More on The Magician's Table:
The Magician's Table is a 3-month online transformational container whereby 13 individuals come into my space to gift their voice and their being with the Circle in weekly gatherings. What the participant shares each week is always emergent based on what has been coming up for them. Each week, everyone is paired with a different partner. These partner sessions are opportunities to practice giving and receiving support, and are meant to be experimental spaces for both unlearning and learning how your gifts want to move through you. Moving into contact with your gifts can be incredibly destabilizing and confronting, and thus The Magician's Table is also a death process so you can let die what keeps you from trusting your magic.

Here's Britten's bio:
Britten LaRue is a teacher, an author, and a professional astrologer who spends much of her time speaking and writing. But she is most powerful (as she once heard in meditation) when she listens. In her work as an intuitive guide, she has built a powerful talent as a professional listener. Her clients seek out her skill as a spaceholder not to be told what to do or to be given answers, but to see their own wisdom reflected back to them. And as someone who has learned to trust in her own self-authority, she’d have it no other way. Britten’s deepest calling is to be a midwife for those in the process of birthing their own inner knowing, healing from shame, and learning to trust themselves again with the reckless freedom they deserve.
In 2023, Britten is in deep apprenticeship with both Saturn and Venus at the intersections of her most core wounds. Saturn is showing her the healing impact she has on others when she inhabits her power from a heart-led frequency of love. Venus is helping her to trust that she is supported in more ways than she can possibly fathom by forces seen and unseen.

Here's Rebecca's bio:
Rebecca Padgett (she/her) is a mystic, artist, and oracle devoted to the unseen world, living in an old farm house in Ontario, Canada. She enjoys living with nature and the wide-open, rural landscape which quiets and expands her mind, as well as immersing her in the cycles of the plants, animals, seasons, and night sky around her. She has previously worked with astrology, tarot, reiki, yoga, as well as intuitive abstract painting, a practice mirroring her life card - The Empress - reinforcing a strong connection to intuition and creativity. As she grows further into her voice, Rebecca finds her work to be the exploration of where these two places meet and interconnect to one another. Her work is ever-changing and growing as she is someone who is devoted to the cyclical nature of the universe and the creative process.
