Hi 👋. I appreciate you. Thank you for being here with me. I'm assuming if you're clicking this link that you've heard me talk a bit about Talismans and Soul Restoration. And if not welcome, your intuitive nose is excellent! Regardless of how you arrived here, I wanted to acknowledge that this conversation works at completely different level than our logical mind. So as you read this invitation please let the words tug you toward or softly turn you away. Yes?

Okay, I’m gathering myself to share about something that is hard to put into ordinary language. I’ll start by offering this bit 👇

Have you had the experience of suddenly finding something that absolutely and fundamentally shifted the way you operate in the world? Maybe the shift was as simple as a new viewpoint that made all the inner pins tumble open. Maybe it was finding just the practice /medicine / food that pivoted your health in much needed ways. Maybe it was one of those spontaneous slipping into the vastness of the very fabric of reality brought on by nothing more than staring at the waves of the ocean. Maybe it was the grace of finally stopping doing *that* - whatever that thing is that was a toxic load on your system. 

In our human lifespan we get rolled and rumpled, lifted and softened, nudged and tugged. Some harder chapters stretch like a dusty endless road and require perseverance and plodding while other chapters are a haphazard fingers-crossed surfing of tsunami waves.

And throughout it all, we are ever seeking ways to wipe the metaphoric window. Wiping off the accumulated dust and debris so that we can see into ourselves, remember who we actually are. Wiping away the obscuring so we can look out with lightness and clarity, so we can navigate what’s coming with grace and kindness and connection. 

I want those window wiping moments for all of us. And by some wild grace I actually have a helpful if kinda (…okay definitely) woo way to do it.

You see, quietly behind the curtains, I’ve been intensively studying with a remarkable teacher to learn a talismanic process that - speaking as a rebellious skeptic with a LOT of new age experience- is seriously effective. 

I’ve learned five different talismans… each with their own gorgeous approach. The simplest one stands as is regardless of who wears it, the others shift and adjust depending on what you need. 

Over the last two years as a student of the work I’ve received dozens of talismans from classmates and more than anything else I’ve done in my 25+ years of seeking and studying, these seemingly simple strings or stones or pouches? They delivered. 

Some came in like bunny feet gently turning me towards something I’d forgotten or softening my view just so. Some brought external miracles: like a substantial check just as we were about to go under financially, or the grace of finding an answer to a decade long health issue.  Some leaned their strength into breaking bad habits and ending incoherent relationships. One of them lifted the lid to reveal a lie about who I thought I was more effectively than all the hallucinogens I tried in my twenties.  Some were subtle and some so not-subtle it sounds like hyperbole. But the long and short of it is that I had dozens of talismans from dozens of my cohort and all of them produced a shift of one type or another.

How do I explain that in public without sounding like a snake-oil salesman? I guess I can’t. But what I can say to you is that it is really freaking cool. 

The effectiveness of these Soul Restoration Talismans - especially created by folks just beginning training- speaks to the depth available in a living lineage. By which I mean it isn’t ever *me* that imbues a talisman with its oomph but a vast current that stretches through me by permission. My teacher fábẹkú is, first of all, a solid, good, kind, generous human who also happens to have the most ridiculously impeccable ability to see and say what’s so with a level of clarity I haven’t encountered before. He’s extensively trained in Ìṣẹ̀ṣe, actively connected to his own system of teachers and elders and profoundly beautifully grounded in deep animism. 

You know how you can make up your own prayer or ritual or process and there’s definitely goodness? But then if you contrast that with stepping into a ritual that’s been done for thousands of years, somehow when your mouth makes the sound (or your body makes the motion or you recreate the symbol), every mouth and body and eye that’s engaged it before you lends gravitas to the moment? That’s the difference between me sending you something I made myself versus sending you a talisman rooted in this lineage.  

All of which is to say: Yay Talismans! And to say it would absolutely be my honor and pleasure to sit down and do the ritual work required to make you one so that you can have something that nudges, or rumbles, and gives you something you maybe didn’t even realize you really really needed. 

How would you even know you need this talisman process? Honestly, everyone alive for more than 5 minutes could benefit because life has a way of slowly (and sometimes quickly) obscuring our natural potency. In this lineage we call the obscuring “soul eclipsing” rather than soul loss because nothing is lost, there’s just stuff built up between you and your essence, blocking the view. So maybe that feels like life is muted or foggy. Maybe it feels like confusion or slogging through mud. Or like you can't find the brakes. Maybe it’s a quiet truth that you just don’t totally feel like yourself or recognize yourself in the mirror. Maybe you haven't been feeling joy like you used to. Or maybe even feeling much of anything. In my personal experience, sometimes I knew there was something off with me and sometimes I only could see it when it was lifted. So if you aren't sure why but you're feeling the tug, you don't have to know any specifics.

At the heart of this lineage the truth that you are not broken. Ever. Your soul is intact, alive, dynamic. And restoration simply (and miraculously) clears the static, lifts the drop clothes, blows off the dust. Talismans and the accompanying rituals deepen and strength a space of goodness around you like a home that your soul can rest into. Everything we do, simple or complex, is aimed at deepening the space of goodness. 

I could say, and I certainly feel deep in my bones, something about how this offering intersects with the times we are in. Those would be a lot of words so I’ll say more simply that the core medicine of these talismans is hope. Hope that things can shift. Hope that our trajectory can open. Hope that what is ours but has been misplaced along the way will be found again. And while I’d love to wave a magic wand and make it *all* better right now, this is a way I can confidently support you in *something* getting better. 

The good news (for both of us!) is that details of your talisman will be 100% determined by divination.

That means divination will let us know the type of talisman, the ingredients included as energetic medicines, and the needed rituals. The divination will indicate whether there are  baths/anointing etc to support and anchor the work before or after your restoration. And divination will also confirm the cost of your talisman.

Cost is, of course, based by complexity. To be absolutely clear, a simple talisman is not less effective and a complex talisman is not more effective. Nor is a more complex talisman an indication of how "messed up" you are! I think we all know through living that sometimes less is more and sometimes more is more. And you can trust that the most effective talisman for you is the one that comes up in divination.  I will always start by checking if the simplest (and lowest cost) options will be effective and then increase in complexity as necessary.

Given the variables, talisman prices range between $125-$750. If you have a 'do not exceed' number I will only divine to see if a talisman can be made within that range. If I am not able to offer a talisman within your range, your deposit will be refunded. 

Please know that everyone in this lineage has a commitment to providing reduced and no cost restorations for those in need. I use The Green Bottle financial criteria tiers created by Alexis J. Cunningfolk as a basis for my pricing.  I am also absolutely able to set up a payment plan if that makes a restoration more possible for you. 

The steps for your restoration are as follows

1. Begin by clicking the link below and making a $50 deposit. (A waiver code is available on the deposit page for those in tier one.)
2. Once you've submitted your deposit, you will receive a link to the Intake Form. Please complete the 19 questions which cover important practical details around health, allergies and sensitivities, existing support, range of motion constraints, mailing details and more. There will be a section in the intake form for you to make requests regarding reduced cost, no cost and do not exceed limits.
3. When I've received your completed intake, I'll sit down for your divination and afterwards will email to let you know the details of your talisman. I am usually able to complete divinations within a week of receiving an intake. If it will take longer, I will let you know.  
4. Once you've confirmed that you'd like to proceed with the talisman I've divined for you, we will set up a payment for the remainder due. After your payment (or payment plan) is complete, your restoration will be added to my schedule. Talisman creation is by nature a conversation and the making of your talisman may be short or extended. I'll only reach out to you if there additional information is needed or if there are rituals that need to be done on your end. Otherwise, I'll be in touch once the talisman is complete to provide instructions and tracking information for your package.
5. Your package will include all the details you need. You will carry/wear your talisman until it completes.  You may notice the talisman working immediately or the effects may become obvious over time. Again, more obvious is not more potent! And we can both rest into the knowing that your talisman is designed especially for you.  The talisman itself is the primary support for the process but I am of course available to answer any questions that arise.
