My name is Ryan. I live in a beautiful, peaceful place on Whidbey Island in Washington state. I grew up in an environment where I felt that I couldn’t find safety in any adult. I was abused by a hateful step-grandmother and sexually abused by my maternal grandmother’s husband. My mother was “surviving” her own abuse and wasn’t emotionally available for me. I repeated patterns I witnessed growing up in a dysfunctional family, until the moment came and I chose myself, who I’m meant to become. My story is long, as are many others, and maybe I’ll share more on here if inspired to do so. What I will share today is that through the dark nights of the soul, we are forged in fire. It isn’t just about imagining what you want and putting it on a vision board. It’s about knowing what’s meant for you and working through all the hard shit to receive it. I’ve followed my intuition to get where I am today and will continue to listen to my guides, my higher self, my ancestors, the stars, and God. Throughout my spiritual journey, I have found astrology to be one of the universe's greatest gift. It’s a grounding practice to find relations in the stars and planets. As above, so below. What I can offer is knowledge as it’s given to me. I will be the bridge from the old to the new. What I imagine on this new earth is community. Smaller pockets of community where we take care of each other. Protect our women and children. Protect our earth. Provide safety, nourishment, and education. Balance between light and dark, balance between feminine and masculine energy, equity, freedom. Those who wish to do good and protect others are safe with me.
