My name is Eric – I’ve walked an eclectic spiritual path. Not of the sort where I think everyone is full of shit except for me, but I have run headfirst into nearly every imaginable pitfall so (hopefully) you don’t have to.

I embrace darkness and light – and I do so in a way that honors both within me and others. I don’t see darkness as evil or light as good, and I don’t see the shadow merely as something to acknowledge so you can get rid of it.

Darkness can be a cool and restful place where the sun doesn’t interrupt your sleep; the light can scorch the Earth and turn crops to dust. The shadow will always exist as part of you, and it doesn’t always contain what is socially unacceptable.

If you have trouble loving or being loved, creating, or accepting yourself – you’ll find those things in your shadow.

That informs my approach to magick, coaching and healing. I am not all this thing or that – and neither are you. I will help you overcome weaknesses and make breakthroughs, but I will not help you disown parts of yourself.

We are happy only when we are whole – and we cannot be whole without embracing all that we are and experience. This is not a “good vibes only” club. I will not let you bypass what hurts or makes you uncomfortable. As Jung said, “there is no coming to consciousness without pain.”

But neither do I embrace suffering as a virtue unto itself. Sometimes things hurt like a bitch because you’re supposed to stop or walk away. Embracing both approaches is the path of wholeness, and wisdom is discerning what’s best in your circumstances.

I am here to offer what I can do and share what I know, and not as a guru but a coequal creator within this vast universe of ours. I have never taught without learning, and I have never helped someone make a breakthrough without making breakthroughs myself. This is an exchange between us, and I look forward to the ride.
