Illuminated by Moonlight
Through the deepest of spiritual nights.
Jonathan Thames
Spiritual Guide. Astrologer. Mystic.
As a practitioner, I think of myself foremost as a Speaker. I speak to persons – both the incarnate and discarnate – and pass the messages along to those who need to hear them. Sometimes, I also request things on behalf of others. To this end, I spend most of my time building relationships with and learning the languages of gods, spirits, plants, animals, and other humans.
We must conceive of this whole universe as one commonwealth of which both gods and men are members.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Branches
of the Willow
Ibis in the Willows is a holistic practice, bringing together the ibis—the sacred bird of Thoth—and the willow—a tree of the Moon. The willow is verdant and nurturing—she shelters, eases pain, and stimulates growth in others. The ibis unites the sky, stone, and sea—being a bird that lives in all worlds and carries messages from one to the other.
Sky
Guidance
I provide any wisdom I may have. This may come from divination, studies, or experiences from myself and others.
Stone
Craft
I provide practical help–including mundane and magical resources. This may be spells, prayers, or referrals to other experts and practitioners.
Sea
Companionship
I provide a friendly and interested ear as both a guide and as a fellow traveler. Just as important as advice and praxis is being in relationship.
