Visual Diary of a Threshold.
On this last day of Pluto in Capricorn, I offer a Deep Bow to the Mystery. 🪽🌌🌊

Here I find myself again,
Quietly letting tears fall as I
Gaze out the window of an airplane
At a sunset I will never see again.

In rapture, overcome by the incomparability
Of Her Oneness.
In everything, I see Her
Our sameness in our singularity.

I follow the Thread,
Lost in the Labyrinth of our own
Becoming.

Perhaps the point is never to be found.
Perhaps it is to give ourselves to the dance.
How would I live my life,
If not seeking a way out,
But rather, deeper in?

They say at the center of the Labyrinth
Lives a Great Monster.
I have seen it for myself,
In the shame of my desire.

To be turned inside out by life,
To follow Eros as a life-giving wellspring,
To dance wild with the Maenads,
Drunk in Ecstatic Bliss.

Perhaps the Minotaur is the innocence
Of everything we’ve shamed.
Deep in the center of the Heart,
Our true nature reveals itself,
A thread to follow deeper inwards.

I walk into a bookstore & open to a page
That tells me everything about myself.
Stripped bare by a mirror of words,
The contour of my life begins to form.

I find solace in sorrow,
Comfort in depth.
I want to live an honest life.
Isn’t that what this has all taught me?

In the faces of my beloveds
I am home.
I don’t need many, just the juiciest deep wells
To sink my heart into.

I come alive in the depth
Of those that seek meaning
In the unseen.
Artists, seers, healers, feelers,
Mystics in modern drag, finding ways to
Get Free.

As I step across threshold,
I pick up pieces of myself.
I take off the apprentice’s jacket,
The one I’ve worn for 18 years,
So eager to master the world.

Revealed in my simplicity,
I find true wisdom in listening.

Humbled, silent, aching for
A Quiet Life…

Perhaps it’s a sign I know myself
More deeply,
In the yearning to make space
To hear the Ancestors more clearly.

I am seeing myself
Takes shapes I never dreamed —
A Woman Grown, a Mother Growing.

Head bowed in service & gratitude,
Humbled by what will always be
So much bigger than just me
I give Myself to Great Mystery.

I hear she has bigger plans for me,
More than my mind could ever see 😉

Hello beloveds ❤️ holiday szn is upon us, which means we have the opportunity to support awesome local makers & practitioners that hustle hard to bring magick into this world.

To be frank, it is a challenge to feel like work is meaningful in the face of a system that functions in opposition to it. I have had to get comfortable with self-promotion, simply to feel like I exist within the landscape. So here we are, edgy & revealed.

I’m gonna share a bit about my work & ways that it might be shared as a gift with your beloveds this holiday szn, & I’m gonna share other makers that I adore. ❤️
..:…

Hi new friends! I’m Teagan West, a healing practitioner & artist living on Haudenosaunee / Seneca land in upstate NY. My people come from Ireland, Syria, Lebanon, Italy & North America.

My formal training is as an Ayurvedic & Somatic Practitioner, Astrologer & Subtle Bodyworker. My heart exists as a Ritualist, dancer & maker, with deep emphasis on Ancestral Veneration & Healing.

I see all of this as a form of Cultural Repair, in a world so removed from our original ancestral practices & identities.

I care a lot about creating space where community can thrive & resource in collective care. Dance, Ritual & Ceremony are ways this expresses here in Rochester.

I work with clients 1:1 thru a deeply holistic approach, weaving threads of mind, body & spirit together thru the various healing modalities I roll with.

Ayurveda, Astrology, Energy Medicine, Somatics, Ancestral Lineage Healing & Oracular Divination are all ways we can work together, to support the process you’re in.

I also make Drums & Talismanic Jewelry, in heart-joy & ancestral re-membrance. 💙

Any of the above can be gifted to you or your beloveds, just reach out. I begin booking again in December 🩶

You can also find my Astrology work on Substack & Spotify at the Altar of Stars 🌌 online course & mentorship are OPEN!

Here are some magick weavers that I deeply admire;

May we celebrate the crafts made from hands with love & magick 🪽🙏🌊🔮🕯️⚡️ xoxo

As things are breaking down,
Something is breaking open.
Call it the Heart of the World,
Call it the Great Scream —

The one we’ve been holding in far too long,
Far too many cries trapped in our bones
Across Hundreds of Generations.

Our Ancestors would be proud of us.
They are right here. They know this terrain
Like the paths they tread
when leaving homelands,

Being torn from their roots
by the hands of Empire —
The empty promises
Of Cross & Clergy.

We are not so foolish —
We were born with fire in our eyes,
A sword in our voice,
And kinship in our Hearts.

We know better than to think
This is a matter of sides —
It is the secret third thing
That breaks the Truth open.

Here we are, Candles in the Void
Holding a Prayer stronger than any Lie
Could ever seek to break.

We are the Warriors of Heart.
We fight for Love, not for Violence.
We know how to do this.
We’ve been preparing for Generations.

We are the Ones who will Build the World
From the Ash of Old Altars.
The only death we will see
Is that of Empire.

I love you. I see you. I see us together, anchored in our prayers and our gifts. You are the steward of so many blessings my friend, so much ancient power — never forget this. Call upon it in your darkest hour - the time is now.
.:..

Prayer inspired by my dear kindred , who inspires me every day.
Today I lit the Candle they made me, in honor of Bloodlines, of my Grandfather the Activist, whose birthday was today. Red, the one who brought hundreds of voices together in song as prayer. Music was his tool, and laughter. That rascal trickster says Thank You.

MUGWORT SAID - “MY CHILD, IT IS TIME TO DREAM”🕯️☁️🪽

This is a prayer on his behalf, in behalf of this community that we must shelter like the most precious gift - because it is. I love you. The future is in our hands, held in an endless embrace. ✊❤️‍🔥🕯️🪽☁️

AUTUMN UPDATE ❤️ from the Heart 🗝️ Big News!!

Hello friends. It’s been a minute since I shared a more personal update here ☁️ I hope you are all feeling held by the closeness of your people in this time. As we work to build a better world together brick by brick, my hope is that there is healing in every direction - past, present & future.

Autumn came with change indeed, as the leaves fall & trees reveal themselves, I am reminded of the rawness of this time. Vulnerable, to watch time pass in your own hands. A life well lived, hopefully — trying to.

My solar return brought big & exciting & terrifying news. A dream I had planted years ago started to peek its head thru the soil - land to tend, sanctuary for community to gather. Healing refuge, as the soil of the world itself turns over. The dream planted itself in reality & is swiftly beginning to take root.

❤️‍🔥 Less poetically speaking (although it all does feel so big & profound) — I have a new Home, that I will begin moving into after I return from my travels in late November. The space is near the North end of Hemlock Lake, just outside of Rochester. The vision is a place for Community to Gather, Heal, grow food & be nourished on every level. ☁️🪽 THE HOLLOW!

☁️🙏🕯️🙏☁️

BOOKING // Some of you have noticed that my booking calendar* is blocked off thru the end of the year — this is to honor my capacity during the moving process.

^*I AM STILL BOOKING SESSIONS IN DECEMBER 2024 onwards into 2025, I will just be taking inquires by EMAIL for now!! I will reopen times on my scheduler once things are feeling settled!!**

Both in-person & virtual sessions will continue after I return from travels in November, I’ll just be working a few days a week during the move. Please feel free to reach out by email if you’d like to book !! 🩷

I love you all. I’m so excited for what this next chapter holds — ancestors in tow. Come spring, I can’t wait to welcome you all to this land at The Hollow!! 🤟🕯️🙏

SCORPIO NEW MOON 🗝️ INVOCATIONS

Read for your Rising Sign, then Sun/Moon/Mars. Let me know what you think! Big love! 🤟🦂🕯️🦇❤️🗝️🪬

SAMHAIN + SCORPIO NEW MOON 🪬🕯️

It is no secret that this is my favorite time of year, friends. Yes, as a Scorpio rising it’s in par, however — even more so, this is the most *widely normalized* and rich time for Ancestral Veneration & Remembrance Rituals.

As a person who puts Ancestral Reverence at the center of everything I do in this life, I can’t help but feel the spectacular opportunity to share the richness & celebration of these ways of walking with folks that crave a similar sort of Belonging.

To be honest, I have not often felt like I belong in this world. The modern age is foreign to me, and frankly entirely disenchanting. It was not until I began reconnecting with my lineages and walking alongside the Ancestors that I discovered a sense of deep belonging, one that is innately tied to being human.

By the very fact that I exist, I am an Ancestor on Lineage.

So much of the work of ancestral re-membrance is exactly that — it is the act of keeping their memory alive in us. What is death, really, if not Forgetting? What lives on beyond death if not for memory? Without it, we forget our past, and the lives that made so much sacrifice for us to even exist.

We are the answered prayers of our people. Yes, even the ones that were so entangled with harmful patterns as a byproduct of difficult cultural context. We must be able to hold their pain in a larger purview if we are to see it for what it really is. Yes, there are people on our lineages that have done sh*tty things, or caused harm to our families. Yes, there are generational burdens that have caused so much pain. But if we don’t believe these patterns can heal, we forsaken our own responsibility as Ancestors, dreaming a new world for the future generations.

I believe in healing. I believe that we can right the wrongs of those that came before us. I believe in cultural repair. And I also believe that we can partner with the beloved dead in making that a reality.

I believe we can learn from those that came before us, to build a better world for those to come. I believe this is our responsibility as ancestors.

Lots more on Substack this week, check it out if it calls to you. Rituals, tarot etc!

EVERYTHING IS BREATHING
So Become the Sky…

In stillness
It is the gentle wind
That shapes you.

I want to mark the passage of time
By making pilgrimage each morning
Watching as the landscape changes
With the turn of the season.

I want to live close to the earth
Close enough to feel the imprint
Of my feet in each step they take
On the dirt.

Devotion.

You cannot teach an old dog new tricks
In the same place it was born.

I want to carve new pathways
And old keys don’t open new doors.

I must be willing, courageous even
Like the bristly thistles that taunt the
Forthcoming winter
With their insistence to persist,
all Autumn long.

I will not become a ghost
To this good earth.
Lately I’ve felt like I barely exist.
My feet have forgotten soil
Over pavement.

I feel my ancestors
Force a choice into my hands
Go on, or dissolve.

The way a child
Demands to enter the world,
The night finds a way
To give breath to dawn.

So surrender, I will
To the person I was becoming
Knowing she won’t get me much further
Than screaming into the wind.

I am the gentle wind
That shapes the mountain.
I am the mountain
With a secret inside.

I have to be willing to make pilgrimage,
The biggest in my life,
To find new keys.

I receive a poem from the land,
And place it in your hands.
Thank you for listening.

_____

I spent the day alone in the woods, in the silence of the grove.
Everything is breathing.
It is overwhelmingly beautiful.
I do not want to pretend anymore.
I want to become the Sky.
This aliveness is a gift.

WICCE 🕯️🗝️🦇 RITUAL + ECSTATIC DANCE 🌟
October 27th // 5-7pm

Come one, come all! Come celebrate spooky szn with a VERY special evening in community! Cocreated by Fiona Criddle + Teagan West ❤️‍🔥

WHERE: DUTCH ⛪️ 769 E main st 14607
WHEN: Oct 27th // 5-7pm (doors close at 5:15!)
WHAT: ritual, cacao + ecstatic dance!

Reciprocity: sliding scale $15-35, cash or Venmo -west 🙏 + NOTAFLOF +

FLOW:
- 4:30pm ARRIVAL - please be prompt!
- 5pm: opening ritual + cacao — BRING A MUG!!! 🩷🤟
- 5:30-7pm: ECSTATIC DANCE ❤️‍🔥🪽🌟

🗝️🕸️🕯️🌟🕯️🕸️🗝️

WICCE is the Old English word for “Wise One, or one who practices Magick”. This is where our modern term “witch” comes from — a word laden with derogatory associations & misunderstandings.

On this night, we reclaim the power of the WICCE within, and invoke the magickal liberation that comes from its teachings.

The Wicce in all of us are the parts that have been exiled for their magickal multidimensionality. They are the deliciously Q***r, marginalized, creative + expressive parts of us that were cast out from the Garden as being “too wild”. They are the source of our WISDOM, and magickal power.

This is an invocation. It is an invitation to welcome all parts of yourself here, the exiled and the forgotten. With Hekate as our guide, we will cast a circle of brave expression, and dance together in cackles of liberation.

COME GET WICCE! 🗝️🦇🕸️🕯️

Dress up optional, yet encouraged 😉 don’t forget to bring a mug for cacao!! 🩷

INVOCATIONS FOR THE ARIES FULL MOON ❤️‍🔥🌅
Read for your Rising Sign + Sun/Moon/Mars! 🕯️

I had a lot of fun making these, I hope you enjoy 🌟 would love to hear below what resonates

10/14/2024

With all that is happening in the world right now, I find myself acutely aware of the terror that Colonial Nation-States carve throughout history. Today, on Indigenous Peoples Day, I am even moreso aware of the impact they have caused on the land beneath my own feet.

I grew up on Haudenosaunee land, in a town now known as Mendon. Down the street was Ganondagon, where we would take weekend rides to visit the Longhouse and learn about the History of the Land we lived on. There was a dissonance here; an appreciation, yet a lack of acknowledgment + repair around the pain caused. Perhaps I was too young to understand. I am not now.

So often I find this dissonance still insidiously embedded into spiritual circles everywhere. A kind of fetishization of Indigenous teachings, without simultaneous acknowledgment for the context of trauma they’re embedded within. A lack of addressing this is an incomplete story; and appreciation soon turns into appropriation. This is not a critique, but rather an acknowledgment — I am guilty of the same in so many ways, determined to do better.

It wasn’t until 1978 that the American Indian Religious Freedom Act (AIRFA) was passed. That is LESS THAN 50 yrs ago. Until then, it was illegal for indigenous communities to practice the Rituals + Ceremonies that so many of us participate in today.

I believe that awareness is the impetus of action. To carry the awareness of stolen land + history, and to give a f*ck about it, becomes the first movements in the waters of change. Last month, the Onondowa’ga nation was given back 1,000 acres of land by New York State. May this Land Return continue to the rightful stewards that have poured so much love into it for hundreds of generations, and hundreds to come.

Thank you to the generosity of those whose Land we are merely visitors upon. May we continue to learn how to best be of support. May we do the work that is required internally to be aware of our blind spots, and courageous be called forward into deeper allyship.

LAST CALL // Altar of Stars Online Course 🌟🌌

Hello beloveds. To be honest with you, with all of the terror happening around the world, it feels a bit trite and meaningless to share this last call.

And, I know that in order to vision a new world together, there are tools of both Earth + Sky that can support us. In my experience, astrology is one of those tools, gifted to us by our ancestors.

And so I come to you here, simply & in earnest, to share this LAST CALL for joining the Altar of Stars online course. It is being offered right now at an extremely low cost, the last day of which will be October 8th.

If you’ve been wanting to join us at the Altar, I welcome you to do so now. We will spend the wintertime in deep cosmic study, learning about the planets + zodiac + houses as altars. Come spring, we will gather in live group mentorship to dive deeper into chart interpretation + the sacred dance of ritual astrology.

For those of you interested in the mentorship program, that is also being offered at a discount until Oct 8th. Now is the time to join. Our first mentorship cohort will begin in spring of 2025, which gives you the rest of Fall + Winter to review the online course content in preparation for collective deepening in the Spring! ❤️‍🔥

Message me with questions. I’ve been sharing meetings with all new course participants, and it has been such a joy to see what a powerful, wise group of seekers is gathering around this Cosmic Altar.

I love you. I hope you’re taking care of yourselves. See you soon 🕯️🌟🧚🏽‍♂️🌌🪽🌹

SINCERITY 🕯️ Libra Eclipse // Oct 2nd, 2024

The first image was taken by my precious Libra sister, the other side of my scales, during a ritual in August. The card pulled was my favorite card of all ~ SINCERITY.

The image on the card shows two arms locked in a heartening embrace, a commitment, a knowing that we are in this together. The first time I ever pulled it, I must’ve wept for 2 hours straight. It hit something deep in my gut, a yearning, a longing, the source of my grief.

To me, sincerity is a commitment to truth. And truth, especially in relationship, is the highest commitment to one another’s growth. It is the kind of Love that Transforms you. And it is not for the faint of heart. Similarly, it is rare as it is precious. I have known few in my life that have been willing to go there TOGETHER: to call one another forward, in the name of love. To be sincere, to be honest, to be faithful to one another’s growth, because it matters.

I cried for so long in the face of this knowing because it is something I yearn for so deeply, and because the lack of it has been the source of my deepest wounding. To be in relationship is to make a vow to one another. A commitment to one another’s growth is a commitment to truth. This is the work of collaboration, and it requires two willing parties to stand in the fire & be transformed together.

Like my sister, I am also a Libra Sun. Our work in this lifetime is to learn how to bring our heart into dynamic relationship with others, while still holding our own center of self-advocacy. The Sun is at Fall in Libra; it has a hard time shining its light here, so easily eclipsed by the will of others. Because it F*cking CARES. And unfortunately, that care is too easily taken for granted.

I have learned so much from Libra. I have so much more to learn. I used to resent being born with such a vulnerable Sun sign — I did not yet know its virtue. It takes courage to Love. It takes courage to have the heart broken, and to choose to keep it open. It takes courage to collaborate with one another, especially those that have caused us pain.

I will never stop loving.

PS: The tarot spread for this eclipse is ❤️‍🔥. Substack 🔗!

ASTROLOGY MENTORSHIP 2025 • Oracles in Orbit 🌟

🌌 our first cohort will gather around the Altar of Stars in Spring 2025!

The Mentorship group is the Secondary Level of teachings*, that will build off of the content in the online course. This will be for folks that want to go deeper with chart reading + making Astrology a lived part of their daily rituals. Embodying the chart, living alongside the cosmos! 🪐

*the online course is required for mentorship group, so we’re all on the same page. The course itself covers the depth of foundational knowledge that will support deeper chart-reading techniques + interpretations. If you join the online course now, you have all winter to study and prepare for mentorship in spring!! 🤓

____________

The Mentorship Program is going to be fun, exploratory, ritually-oriented, and straight up MAGICKAL. I personally did not learn astrology just from books + teachers — the depth of my relationship to the cosmos came from LIVING ALONGSIDE them. Tracking their movements, noticing how they moved me, entering into this cyclical dance that is the cosmic waltz.

The intention of this Mentorship space is to encourage you finding YOUR OWN unique voice in chart interpretation, and that comes from an embodied place of knowing. Together we will feel - dream - vision the chart, studying it not just from its technical elements, but also from the inspired channel within you.

This is Astral Divination. This is Embodied Interpretation. This is Planetary MAGICK + Ritual play!

The program itself will be 6 months in length, guided by the Axes of Astrology. We will meet 3-4x each month in ritual space, working with each New + Full Moon, endings + beginnings of Zodiacal seasons, and transiting planets. Thru this, we will learn the magickal correspondences for astrological ritual.

We will go deeper into the technicalities of aspects, chart signatures, karmic elements, and correspondences.

We will gather around the Altar of Stars to dream with Astrology together. Reading one another’s charts as mirror magick, learning from each other.

& so much more! 🔗
