Wilderness Pilgrimage Service - Spiritual Discovery, Power, & Victory - Climb hotsell Personal Mountains - Ritual + Custom Protection Spell Bag

There's not a clear roadmap in life, and we sometimes find ourselves lost, or passing through unknown or dangerous territory. It can be hard to keep up motivation and spiritual strength along the way-- it can be helpful to have magical support for helping you get "out of the woods." This service provides a means of kindling spiritual endurance, tapping into natural strengths and intuition, and finding a way forward to personal success.

When you order this service, we will carry a spell bag and ritual items through the deepwoods and mountain slopes of our property, then return it to charge on our main altar and mail you the resulting talisman. We'll custom-make a spell bag of ingredients to suit your needs, a petition paper inscribed with your name and runes of protection and waymaking, along with appropriate curios or stones, and any natural items that "speak" to us in the woods along the way (such as seed pods, pebbles, thorns, etc.) After the service is complete, we'll send you some photos of your spell bag placed at various points along the ritual hiking route, and charging on the altar, along with any notable or unusual sights or signs we saw during the trek.

This service can be helpful for:

• Educational, professional, or health/physical goals
• Leaving an abusive/toxic environment
• Healing from trauma
• Leaving a religion you grew up in/finding your own spiritual path
• Strengthening an existing long term relationship
• Overcoming personal injustice
• Building a positive self-image, increasing self-knowledge and self-empowerment


We have many hotsell natural features on our grounds, and can make special hikes/stops at one or more places upon request or as we feel it it is fitting to your needs, including:


• Springs/natural beginnings of creeks (ideal for healing, new beginnings, or fertility)

• Moving water with natural iron in the creek bed (for protection, cleansing negative energy or malicious spirits, overcoming health challenges, or protecting against negative people)

• Small caves and rock-openings-- nothing large enough for humans, but large enough to set small bags, tokens, etc. at the edge or inside for a moment (for psychic work, female empowerment, or subconscious work/shadow work/psychological processing)

• Rock outcroppings and formations (for waymaking, social or relationship success, masculine power, or rising above negative people and places)

• Mountain peaks (for overcoming difficult, personal success, healing, spiritual insight)

• Mountain foot/base (for grounding, releasing past burdens, self-knowledge)

• Vale/Small valleys (for spiritual rest/relief, domestic safety, protection of children)

• Exposed tree roots (for spiritual grounding and nourishment, connecting with ancestors)

• And a wide variety of individual tree species! If you have a specific type of tree that is sacred to you, we will do our best to accommodate as well as we can within our region's selection, or we'll choose the tree(s) best suited to your needs.


**SEASONAL NOTE: While there is always ample gathering to be done in any season, be aware that some wild-harvested/found ingredients will only be available during the natural growing cycles, and that some areas on our property may become impassable during the iciest winter months or when there has been extended heavy rain. While we will make every effort to complete outdoor rituals questions and accommodate any special requests, we do have to plan hikes according to the weather, and must prioritize our safety when hiking in treacherous terrain or weather conditions.

ABOUT US
Please note that this shop and its services are offered by two American trans men, who are eclectic magical practitioners of no particular faith(s). While we never mind confusion around this, we do feel it is important for our clients to understand they are working with (LGBTQ) male practitioners, as this can be a crucial factor in some individuals' choice of counselors. We do have some personal patron saints/deities/archetypes that we incorporate into our work, but our practice is widely inclusive and open to whatever spiritual models our clients bring. We try to tailor our readings and rituals to honor and work alongside individual clients' deities, ancestors, or practices of choice.
