✨ Happy Message Monday ✨

This week I pulled a card from the Inner Temple Oracle deck by Rebecca Campbell. This week’s card is “Chamber of Protection.” 🐝

The energy this week feels like a call to come back to ourselves. There’s a strong emphasis on boundaries, personal power, and recognizing where we’ve been giving more of ourselves than we have to give 🌿

Some of us may be feeling particularly sensitive to the energy around us this week. Old obligations, unexpected demands, or certain interactions may leave us feeling more drained or frustrated than usual. Pay attention to those moments. Sometimes what feels like an external problem is revealing an internal pattern we’ve outgrown 🪞

There’s also a message here about discernment. Not everything that makes us uncomfortable is something we need protection from or to run away from. Sometimes we’re being challenged to recognize what belongs to us, what doesn’t, and where we’ve been allowing outside influences to sway our inner state 🌀

Spirit is reminding us this week that protection isn’t always about keeping things out. Sometimes it’s about strengthening what exists within. We can remain open, compassionate, and connected to others without abandoning ourselves in the process ❤️

✨ Tales from the Void: No-Thing, Everything ✨

What if nothingness wasn’t empty? What if it held absolutely everything? 🌑

Through shamanic journeying, I’ve repeatedly encountered a place I know as the Void. A place that continues to challenge everything I think I understand about existence, Spirit, and the nature of reality 🖤

The Void is a fascinating contradiction. I’ve experienced it so impossibly full that it feels almost claustrophobic, as though everything that has ever, and could ever, exist is occupying the same space. But then, in an instant, it expands into something seemingly infinite. No beginning. No end. No light. No dark. No boundaries. Nothing familiar to orient yourself within 🌌

Here’s what I find particularly fascinating about it all- when we encounter something we cannot recognize, define, or make sense of, our instinct is often to fear it. We associate the unknown with danger, darkness with emptiness, and the absence of something familiar with the absence of anything at all 🌀

But what if the absence of recognizable form doesn’t mean the absence of existence? What if there’s a difference between nothing and no-thing?

These are some of the questions I’ve been sitting with through my experiences in the Void, and they’re questions I invite you to explore with me- to consider what might exist beyond the limits of our understanding 🕯️

This is the topic that’s brought back Spirit Tree Podcast! In the newest episode, I’m introducing Tales from the Void, a series exploring my experiences, encounters, and teachings from this particular spiritual landscape🎙️

✨ Happy Message Monday! ✨

This week I pulled a card from the Starseed Oracle deck by Rebecca Campbell. This week’s card is “Lifting the Veil: Questioning everything. Anything unaligned must go.” ✨

This week there is a strong message around clarity, alignment, and seeing people or situations more clearly 👁️

Something that has felt confusing may suddenly become obvious. A conversation, behaviour, repeated pattern, or gut feeling may show you what’s actually there- not what you hoped was there, feared was there, or kept trying to explain away🪞

I keep getting the image of mirrors shattering. Old perceptions are breaking down- of ourselves, and the world around us. Pay attention to whether someone’s actions match their words, whether a relationship feels reciprocal, and whether what you’re being shown aligns with what you’ve been telling yourself ⚖️

Spirit also feels loud this week. Repeated messages, synchronicities, dreams, intuitive hits, or the same theme appearing from several directions may be worth noticing. Not everything is a sign, but when the same truth keeps presenting itself, listen 🌀

✨ October at the Hollow ✨

As we move deeper into autumn and toward Samhain, there are a few opportunities to gather at the Hearth this month:

Held at the Hearth
📍 KW Spa, Pelham
🗓️ Saturday, October 10 | 11am-12pm
OR
🗓️ Wednesday, October 14 | 6:30pm–7:30pm
💰 $77

Held at the Hearth is an intimate group healing experience- a space to step away from the noise of everyday life and intentionally tend to yourself 🌿

Each gathering is guided by what the group needs that day and may weave together shamanic practices, guided journeying, energy healing, reflection, and connection. You don’t need any previous experience or spiritual practice to attend. Simply come as you are and allow yourself to receive 🥰

✨✨✨✨✨✨

The Turning of the Wheel: Samhain
📍 KW Spa, Pelham
🗓️ Sunday, October 25
⏰ 1:00-3:00pm
💰 $77

Samhain marks a threshold into the darker half of the year- a time traditionally associated with endings, death and rebirth, our ancestors, and the thinning of the veil between worlds 🌀

We’ll gather in ceremony to intentionally mark this transition, honour the season, and explore our relationship with the unseen through ritual, reflection, and shamanic practice 🪶

✨✨✨✨✨✨

Space for all gatherings is limited to keep them small and intentional 🌿

🔗 Booking is now through the link in my bio or at www.hollowandhearth.ca/events

✨ Moonlight River, Wayfinder of the Deep ✨

At the beginning of my Shamanic Practitioner training in Scotland in 2024, a woman I had barely known for just 24 hours journeyed on my behalf to retrieve a spirit name for me, and brought back the name Queen of the Moonlight River 🌙

Something about it landed immediately. Maybe it was the image of moonlight moving across water. Maybe it was the strangely specific details in her journey. Maybe it was simply the feeling of being seen in such a beautiful, mysterious way 🌀

Over the course of my training, other spirit names came through at different moments, each carrying something important, but Moonlight River stayed close. By my final round of training this past March, I could feel that name surfacing again- yet I felt the name was ready to change 🕯️

Then training ended, and the deeper integration began. My journeys since then kept moving into darker, more unfamiliar places- the Underworld, rivers, threads, a ferryman, a woman holding a bloody heart. Different images, but a familiar pull toward what sits beneath the surface 🌑

And eventually, the name returned:
Moonlight River, Wayfinder of the Deep

For a while, I guess I had decided that Moonlight River belonged to the student version of me- to Scotland, to training, to who I was when I first received it… but she hadn’t stayed there. She grew with me 🌿

This name is who I am. It carries all the versions of me that have lived, died, and transformed on this path 🦋

I can still picture the river Sara described almost two years ago retrieving my name- the full moon overhead, light moving across the water. The river is still there, I just understand its depth differently now 🌊

✨Happy Message Monday✨

This week I pulled 3 cards from the Rose Oracle deck by Rebecca Campbell.

Take a moment to breathe deeply, center yourself, and look at the three cards in the first image. Let your intuition guide you to the card(s) that spark something in you ✨

Now swipe to reveal the card(s) you’ve chosen and read its message below:

🏆 Card 1: The Holy Grail

There’s a feeling of “enough” around this card. You don’t need another sign, another breakthrough, another achievement, or the perfect set of circumstances before you can trust where you are. This week, notice where you keep looking outside yourself for an answer you may already know.

Turn inward. Quiet some of the noise. You might be surprised by what becomes clear when you stop searching long enough to actually hear yourself.

🌹 Card 2: The Rose Garden

Give yourself a little more grace this week.

Maybe you handled something imperfectly. Maybe you’re frustrated with where you are. Maybe you’re looking back at an older version of yourself and judging them with everything you know now.

You can take accountability, learn, grow, and still be gentle with yourself in the process. You were never meant to become some flawless, perfectly healed version of yourself. You’re human. Let yourself be one.

There is room in the garden for the messy parts too.

🩷 Card 3: The Child Within

Something tender may be asking for your attention this week.

Pay attention to the moments when your reaction feels bigger than what is happening in front of you. Rather than immediately judging it, get curious. Sometimes an old hurt is simply recognizing something familiar.

Ask yourself: What does this part of me actually need right now?

Maybe reassurance, safety, or maybe permission to play, rest, cry, create, or be comforted. You don’t have to solve your entire past. Just meet yourself where you are today with the care you needed then.

✨ A Moment to Soften ✨

Take a second and check in with yourself 🌿

Unclench your jaw. Drop your tongue from the roof of your mouth. Let your shoulders drop. Ease the tension in your forehead. Soften your hips. Notice how you’re actually feeling, without immediately deciding what to do about it ❤️

Maybe you need rest. Maybe you need quiet. Maybe you need a walk, a glass of water, a few deeper breaths, or five minutes where nobody needs anything from you 🍂

We spend so much of our time responding, planning, fixing, deciding, moving on to the next thing. Sometimes the kindest thing we can offer ourselves is simply a little room to notice where we are ✨

Nothing needs to be figured out in this moment. You’re allowed to pause, breathe, rest. So let the water run- let the world keep moving for a minute. You can stay here and soften as long as you need 🕯️

✨ The Woman at the Hearth ✨

Hi, I’m Sydney, also known as Moonlight River in my spiritual practice. I’m a Shamanic Practitioner, Psychic, Spiritual Soul Coach, and the woman behind Hollow & Hearth 🕯️

If I know anything, it’s the wild, messy art of losing yourself in the chaos of being human… and slowly finding your way back 🌿

For years, my life looked “fine” from the outside, while inside I was unraveling. Depression, anxiety, chronic pain- and the constant ache of not knowing who I was beneath all the roles I was trying to hold together 😓

My way back happened slowly, exploring the mind-body-soul connection, with spirituality becoming a big part of it. I became a Reiki Master, developed my psychic abilities, explored witchcraft and other spiritual practices, and started paying closer attention to myself and the world around me 🔮

Shamanism came later, and changed how I connected to what I was already experiencing. Journeying, ceremony, Spirit and nature became part of how I actually live- not just something I practice with clients 🪶

I became more grounded in myself, learned to trust myself, sit with uncomfortable things, and get curious about what was underneath the surface. A lot of that became the foundation of Hollow & Hearth ❤️

🌑 The Hollow: going beneath the surface and getting curious about what’s really happening.

🕯️ The Hearth: tending to what we find, integrating, reconnecting, and living in ways that actually fuel us.

That’s also the core of my work. I don’t have all the answers (does anyone?!), nor am I here to “fix” anyone. But I do have the tools, training, experience and relationship with Spirit to support people in exploring themselves differently 🌕

My practice has deepened over the years. I’m more thoughtful about what I believe, what I don’t know, and the responsibility that comes with this work. Most of all, I feel more like myself than I have in a very long time ✨

And that’s what I hope to offer here too- space to get curious, go deeper, and perhaps know yourself a little better along the way 🌿
