Well then,
here is a little rant and some pictures to go with it...
This is me.
I
am a spiritual development consultant and Reiki Practitioner. I have studied
with various teachers, the ones that inspired me most are Nancy De La Teja,
Sandra Cheryl Richardson and Rob Cisna.
My studies have allowed
me to explore many spiritual paths, I have learned about Buddhism, Christianity,
Kabalah, Pagan beliefs including Native American Spirituality, Wicca, New
Age Beliefs. I also learned a little about Santeria, Voodoo and other lesser
known (in my region) paths as well as ancient religions such as the one
practiced by the ancient Greeks, Romans, Mayas, Incas and Egyptians.
My teachings have
led me to the Path of Fairy, where I feel most at home. I enjoy their joyful
ways and admire the pure, emotionally driven energy they represent.
In recent years,
my art has in many respects focus mostly on the Fae. This of course includes
all nature spirits, such as flower fairies, nymphs, sylphs mermaids, elves,
gargoyles and all spirits grounded in nature.
I like the path of
fairy as to me it is the closest path to that of mankind. It is neither
all light nor all dark, it is what you make of it. It embraces our light
and It teaches us to embrace ourselves as a whole dual being and use our
light as well as our darkness in a way that allows us to better ourselves,
and through ourselves our world.
I am always studying
to increase the knowledge and skills I have to pass on to others.
I live by the law
of attraction and I practices in the fields of divination, manifestation,
sympathetic (white) magick and energy work. I also work with crystals,
crystal energies and all this, of course, I do with the help of fairy energy.
Through my spiritual
work I remain true to my artist roots (Children's
Book Illustrator & Muralist) and I create spiritual arts, crafts
and teach classes on the subject as well.
I hold workshops
on various subjects from Reiki to manifestation to working with crystals,
or anything in between and beyond.
I also take
custom orders for just about any metaphysical, spiritual or personalized
art, craft or tool object you can imagine yourself in need (or want) of.
One of my favorite
ways that I have been able to marry art and spirituality was through my
ability to see your spirit guides, and then paint or draw a portrait of
what I see. I love what I do!
I also like to meet
new people and making new friends. I found a great way to do this is through
attending festivals and art shows around the wonderful state of Florida.
It lets me travel and see new places while I share my work with you in
person!
I created MysticalFlorida.com
as a way to better share my work with others and to have a place where
I can share all the magick in my life, with all the people who live or
visit my home state of Florida .
My work here has
lead me to organize small psychic fairs which I named The Mystical Mini
Fair, which in turn lead me to new people & experience as the festival
grew it changed names to the Mystical Fair, then before I left we chose
the Enchanted Festival which I hope will continue on in peace and harmony
without me.
I
found myself reaching back to my fairy friends and so I develop the Tropical
Fairy Festival, which I run solo with the help of dear friends and trusted
volunteers. For the latest on progress there, please visit http://TropicalFairy.com
I am always expanding
MysticalFlorida.com as
it is my online home. As I add more sites focused on different aspects
of my work, this remains my hub for all my spiritual work. Through this
place, I share more of what I know on various aspects of spirituality,
art and energy work in hopes of inspiring and helping others grow.
This site evolves
as I evolve, so expect new things here all the time as I am always re-inventing
myself, experimenting with new mediums in my art and finding new ways to
grow spiritually, artistically and personally.
I also share information
about my upcoming classes and events, my art and products and many of the
services that I offer.
To get in touch with
me all you need to do is call me at 305-297-5516 or E-mail
me with your questions, comments or suggestions.
You can also join
