Why them? What was the deeper meaning behind their death? In astrology, nothing happens by accident. Just as we have birth charts that reveal our soul's purpose and life path, the moment of death carries its own cosmic significance. The planetary positions at the time of passing can reveal whether their death was part of their soul contract, their emotional state at transition, and the deeper spiritual lessons their passing brings. Your loved one's death time wasn't random. The universe doesn't operate on coincidence, and their passing - no matter how it appeared - was woven into the cosmic tapestry with purpose and meaning. The stars were witnesses to their transition, and they hold the keys to understanding what their death truly means. - [How to Build an Ancestors Altar](https://divineandrogyne.com/how-to-build-an-ancestors-altar): An article on how to build an altar to honor the dead, from recently lost to those lost long ago. - [Harnessing Cosmic Shifts: Exploring the Astrological Significance of the Lunar Eclipse in Libra and the Solar Eclipse in Aries](https://divineandrogyne.com/harnessing-cosmic-shifts-exploring-the-astrological-significance-of-the-lunar-eclipse-in-libra-and-the-solar-eclipse-in-aries): In the vast tapestry of celestial events, few occurrences capture our imagination and curiosity quite like eclipses. These cosmic phenomena have long been regarded as harbingers of change, inviting us to delve into the depths of our psyche and embrace transformation. As we stand between the Lunar Eclipse in Libra on March 25th and the Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 8th, the celestial stage is set for profound shifts in energy and consciousness. - [Mercury Has a Message for you!](https://divineandrogyne.com/2180-2): Mercury has a Message for you! - [Managing Stress (Grief, Mediums, & Trauma)](https://divineandrogyne.com/managing-stress-grief-mediums-trauma): Are you managing a lot of stress? Did you lose someone you love? Maybe your a medium and every day you listen to people's grief about people they love? OR Maybe you have experienced trauma that you are reacting to now, even if it was long ago. I notice that regardless of what is really going on the result is the same, stress - overwhelm - loss - depression. There are many ways to manage these types of experiences and right now some people are dealing with these exact experiences! - [The OTHER side?](https://divineandrogyne.com/the-other-side): Let me start with the definition of what I mean when I say "The Other Side". I am meaning the dimension in which we go to when we pass, and there seems to be several layers to that. Of course this is simply a belief system and you could absolutely choose to believe NOTHING happens to our souls when we die. For me, that belief is impossible to swallow. My whole life I have found myself communicating with beings on the other side and in most cases they are people that have passed from the dimension most of are interacting in. Yet their dimension does seem to overlap with ours and when I was a teenager watching the movie Ghost was like an awakening that I wasn't the ONLY person that communicated with the other side. Later I became very fascinated with studying the ways some celebrity mediums where doing it, reading their books and I found myself getting a reading online many years ago. Just as my father passed I found myself getting a very accurate reading in the old fashioned AOL chat rooms! I learned from that reader, she became a mentor for some time and I moved into mediumship as an expression of my connection to the other side. - [Mercury is Nonbinary & Retrograde is Healing!](https://divineandrogyne.com/mercury-is-nonbinary-retrograde-is-healing): My experience with Mercury Retrograde has shifted over the years. I used to be afraid and worried because there were times I found myself making all sorts of mistakes during Mercury Retrograde. My heightened awareness of the time would also manifest anxiety and pushing me to worry more and more. This is NOT how astrology was meant to serve people. In fact, it's the opposite! - [Rainbow Soul Episode 1](https://divineandrogyne.com/rainbow-soul-episode-1) - [Technology Consciousness](https://divineandrogyne.com/technology-consciousness): Many of us know how important it is to honor the elements, yet often we forget the element of lightening. Also, we don't see technology as natural when in reality it is made of all natural materials like crystals and electricity. Some of the most valuable crystals on mother earth can be found deep within computer chips and devices. This magickal combination of lightening and earth crystals manifests technology and your relationship with it is real. The crystals can hear it when you slam down your phone, the lightening in your computer knows when your frustrated although there are times it also witnesses you in happiness, joy, and connection. - [Imbolc](https://divineandrogyne.com/imbolc): When you come back to nature you realize this isn't about feminism or gender, this is about rebirth. - [Improving Your Relationship with Technology](https://divineandrogyne.com/improving-your-relationship-with-technology): If you wish to use technology for your business, you find yourself working from home, or you have some practical things you need to get done with technology but you find certain parts of technology challenging.... you are NOT alone - [Spell Preparations: The Queer Yule Log](https://divineandrogyne.com/spell-preparations-the-queer-yule-log): This non-binary witch suggests you plan to celebrate Yule and take advantage of this highly potent time for magick! Yule is a high Wiccan/Pagan Holiday. For most of us, we believe this time of year holds great power for manifesting things like Rebirth, new beginnings, aiming our light in a certain direction, harvesting the best of ourselves, and increasing our awareness of the cycles of nature. Your intentions are important in any magick, but at Yule its extra potent time to pay attention to what you want to shed and what you want to bring into your life. Yule is the stillness of the longest night and then the next day becoming just a little more light in the day. Each day into the Yule holiday is a bit more light and you can add potency to your intentions with how you prepare, how long you celebrate, and if you cast magick with others. I found that the Yule Log was enough out of the Christmas routine to be special as magick yet not so strange for when I was in the broom closet. - [10 ways to get ready for a Queer Yule](https://divineandrogyne.com/10-ways-to-get-ready-for-a-queer-yule): Many pagans see the SUN as the divine masculine, and for those that must see the binary that's perfect for them. For us that are more into the vibration of neutrality or fluidity, the sun is a perfect example. The fireball is in a constant state of change and as a result, it allows for the planets to orbit it. The sun allows for life to continue on earth. - [Experience the Wheel of the Year in 2021! Vol. 1](https://divineandrogyne.com/join-a-witchy-year-for-2021-vol-1): NonBinary WItchy Calendar Year to celebrate the seasons in your life. - [Setting Up An Ancestors Altar – Honoring “Transgender Day of Remembrance”](https://divineandrogyne.com/setting-up-an-ancestors-altar-honoring-transgender-day-of-remembrance): They expressed themself out loud and in that joined a loud cry for equality all of us join when we step out of the closet. Their death did not go by unnoticed. Their impact continues. I believe by honoring them I lend to the energy of equality they deserved. When you communicate with these guides on the other side - [8 Tips For Picking your First Starter Tarot Deck](https://divineandrogyne.com/how-to-get-started-with-tarot): So if you are being called, dismiss superstitions like "you have to have a deck gifted to you" or "you can't use the book" or "you must use the book". Don't let any of that deter you from what you're being called to do. I would even suggest that you get whatever deck speaks to you and begin a daily practice. Here are 8 tips for picking out your new deck. - [10 Tips To Protect Yourself From Unwanted Spirits](https://divineandrogyne.com/10-tips-to-protect-yourself-from-unwanted-spirits): Working with an exorcist, a person that helps spirits move on from a space or person, has helped me more deeply understand what is happening between spirits and humans. - [10 Tips To Communicate With Spirits On The Other Side.](https://divineandrogyne.com/10-tips-to-communicate-with-spirits-on-the-other-side): Beyond these modern absurdities we can find what resembles a closer truth, a truth that most of our ancestors offer guidance. They are beside us. Although many of us that DO believe we aren't sure how to listen. Here are a few steps: - [Death, Dying & Mediums](https://divineandrogyne.com/death-dying-mediums): Fall seems to remind us of death. The trees begin to shed their leaves and our gardens die. We harvest until the plant is done giving and lay them down for the season. Consciously or not we become more aware of our own mortality and that another year has passed. This last year we have all had some sort of dance with death. The entire Covid-19 experience worldwide has impacted all of us, some more than others. We have become aware of death, grief, and loss like never before. In this great awakening, some of us have looked death in the eyes, witnessed death as a reality, or sat with our own fear of death. - [How Can Tarot Help Us Through Hard Times?](https://divineandrogyne.com/how-can-tarot-help-us-through-hard-times): Right now many of us are struggling with the state of the world and the pandemic. It's out of our control in a lot of ways. Tarot can greatly improve your mood around things that are stressful, simply by helping you with a different perspective, a new approach, or helping you make a plan. - [Guidance Readings](https://divineandrogyne.com/guidance-readings): offering readings for people when they feel stuck, up against a wall, grieving, loss, and many other situations none of us care to be in. Each of these times I support their journey by using the tools that have been used for centuries to guide the human soul, mind and heart. - [Divine Androgyne](https://divineandrogyne.com/divine-androgyne): What is Divine Androgyne? What is the difference between religion and spirituality? - [Grief Coaching](https://divineandrogyne.com/guidance) - [Intuitive & Transformational Coach](https://divineandrogyne.com/intuitive-transformational-coach): We all need someone to listen, access to wisdom and someone we can trust to help guide us. - [Mediumship & Astrology](https://divineandrogyne.com/harvesting-your-authentic-path) - [Spiritual Coaching](https://divineandrogyne.com/emotional-resilience-coach): Transformation! It happens!  - [Mediumship Apprenticeship](https://divineandrogyne.com/gender-variance) - [Akashic Records](https://divineandrogyne.com/holistic-methods) - [Do I Fit-In to the Transgender Community?](https://divineandrogyne.com/do-i-fit-in-to-the-transgender-community): I felt I didn't fit in, because I didn't want to get surgery or take hormones. Simply, somewhere deep inside me, told me to never deeply engage with our modern medical culture. I didn't like taking medications for my 'mental illness' - either. I don't take ibuprofen when I get a headache, I take skullcap, drink water or vinegar or close my eyes and breathe deep. I am attracted to natural cures, alternative medicine, and vibrations. It's as much who I am as my gender identity. - [Divine Authenticity?!](https://divineandrogyne.com/divine-authenticity): You will know when you are expressing authentically because you feel like an authentic magickal creature spreading their wings with a deep sense of security, depth, and confidence. - [Spirituality for Gender Non-Conforming People?](https://divineandrogyne.com/spirituality-for-gender-non-conforming-people): When I first began on my path of gender bending, drag, and general queerness I consistently would feel that connections lacked depth. I was desiring something much deeper than how to apply a beard with spirit gum, walk like a man, or find supportive community. It was great that we could connect into safe communities yet I was still seeking something deeper. I found myself reading articles about how ancient and indigenous cultures treated their gender variant people as shamans or spiritual guides! - [Music- Healing Vibrations for the soul!](https://divineandrogyne.com/music-healing-vibrations-for-the-soul): I have always been a huge fan of music, as long as I can remember. At the young tender age of 4-5 years old I loved to dance to the song, Fre're Jacques. Over and over again on my record player this song would play. I had my own routine and dance for the song. I spent a lot of time listening to records when I was home alone. My memory is of me finding something to do while I was home alone. My mother was never home and my older brothers were often left responsible for me. They were of no age to be responsible for themselves and of course they left me home alone, regularly. These were traumatic times in my life and from the very beginning I used music to heal my wounds. I was afraid and wouldn't it make sense to dance and sing to get through it. I knew all the words and my brain would just follow the song, over and over. I remember crying at the repeating record as it skipped on certain pieces of the song. My tears had nothing to do with the lyrics, they were of fear and rejection. Interestingly, now I realize the song was about "Brother John". My brothers were at the age of drug experiments and partying all night. They were both into trouble at the time and I remember standing at the side of their bed wondering if anyone would wake up to interact with me. I was a very lonely child, usually home alone. - [Weird? Strange?](https://divineandrogyne.com/weird-strange): Ever stop yourself from doing something because its weird? Strange? Often the judgement of weird and strange come up for me. Although I realize that I am the one judging myself at the same time I am aware that people also have this judgement of me, they use those words! Some of us that are more unusual often feel this way and find ourselves holding back from our communities because of the judgement. Why do we need to conform like everyone else? Is it necessary to be "normal" - the opposite of weird? There are times being weird can be dangerous, like male bodied people that wear dresses could find themselves in a very dangerous situation. Of course, its dangerous for most gender benders in the world. Also people on the spectrum and other unusual expressions are called "weird". This judgement mostly arises when someone has done something that everyone else is not doing, whatever that might be. - [Clearing the Clouds](https://divineandrogyne.com/clearing-the-clouds): "I don't meditate because I can't stop thinking!" This is such a hilarious excuse that it tells me the person hasn't really done their research. This is so funny to me when people say it for one very critical reason, meditation is the practice of clearing our thoughts.  One of my favorite teachers, Pema Chodron, teaches with a visual aid of clouds which happens to work perfectly for many of us. - [Let it Go! – Rewiring the Brain](https://divineandrogyne.com/rewiring-the-brain-to-let-it-go): By Hollis Taylor - [Rewiring the Brain to Receive Comfort](https://divineandrogyne.com/rewiring-the-brain-to-receive-comfort): I took those techniques and I began to use them in my yoga practice. I was and am still determined to continue to rewire my brain from unhealthy to healthy. The techniques helped me get centered into myself through breathe work and an awareness to our bodies, mind and spirit. Then I apply the same techniques in my practice with a simple gentleness. Since I can be extra hard on myself I must practice being gentle with myself. I must find a way to practice gently in order to heal myself, especially during my monthly feminine cycle. - [Rewiring your Brain – Choosing Happiness](https://divineandrogyne.com/rewiring-your-brain-choosing-happiness): Many of us suffer great trauma in our lives. When we suffer greatly in our childhood and youth we are faced with a habit, of chaos & trauma. As a child I was usually alone, since I suffered intense neglect. Neglect means there was no adult around to watch over me and keep me safe. That experience lead to profound sexual abuse including incest and rape by the age of 8 years old. I suffered greatly from emotional, mental, and physical abuse as well. These traumas made a mark on my mind, they left me with a habit of suffering. Many of us have different levels of this, some of us suffer greatly, but most of us have some habit of suffering. - [Why do I avoid what’s good for me? Exercise? Yoga?](https://divineandrogyne.com/why-do-i-avoid-whats-good-for-me-exercise-yoga): Did you get to your mat this week? Why do we avoid what's good for us? Why when we really desire good health do we still avoid things like yoga and healthy food? Is the human condition to keep us from avoiding what's good for us? I have spent much time meditating on why I procrastinate my yoga, walk, or healthy food choice. This has been a struggle for many of us for a very long time. It seems to me it comes directly from the reward we receive afterwards or even during the activity. - [The Hobbit Diet](https://divineandrogyne.com/the-hobbit-diet): By Hollis Taylor - [2016 New Year Fasting for Healthy Habits and Weight Loss](https://divineandrogyne.com/2016-new-year-fasting): I have made a lot of changes to my eating, activity, and focus in my life in the past 10 years. One of my major values is good health and in that I began to do New Years fastings. A fast with healthy intentions to reset my pallet and get in touch with attachment to food. A journey that is bound to test food allergies as well. I pay a lot of attention to the style of fasting that I do and what I might like to gain at the end of it. - [A Holistic New Year Resolution](https://divineandrogyne.com/a-holistic-new-year-resolution): What New Years Resolution are you making? "I will lose weight this year" - "I will quit smoking" - "I will do yoga regularly" "I will exercise" Every year hundreds of people make New Years resolutions they won't keep. Most don't keep their new resolution till the end of January and some of us MIGHT make it to 6 months. - [Holistic Holiday Cooking](https://divineandrogyne.com/holistic-holiday-cooking): If you celebrate any kind of holiday this time of year at some point we want to create that "baked in the oven" wholesome meal. Many of us either have some fond memories of someone cooking for a holiday meal all day or maybe we are trying to create that for our gathering now. Many people cook a large ham or turkey in the oven and if that doesn't happen somehow the meal is a disappointment. When I did my soul searching I found that there were several things that could be labeled as my core values. - [PTSD – Bring it to the mat](https://divineandrogyne.com/ptsd-bring-it-to-the-mat): One of the things I learned in therapy was that PTSD likes to spike its head when you least suspect it. When everything is safe, life is happy and we find ourselves in a good place. Some of us awaken or find ourselves reliving some traumatic experience that could have happened over 20 years ago. Some of us have unexplained anxiety, depression, or some other combination of uncomfortable feelings. - [Ewww! Vegetables! They just don’t taste good!](https://divineandrogyne.com/permanent-weight-loss-naturally-healthy-with-vegetables): I learned so much in my exploration with food and most importantly today I notice if I don't eat vegetables, my body craves them. The first time this happened I was very suprised. I had never craved a vegetable before, only sugary treats. I maybe had craved a potato before but really that is all about sugar again. I was actually craving broccoli. I was suprised when I found myself just craving plain old, nothing on it uncooked broccoli. This was one of those moments during my transitions that I realized that all the work I was doing to get healthier was working. This was more promising than losing 10 lbs. From a long term perspective if I could enjoy and even crave health food I would be on my way to some big changes. This pushed me further and today I find myself craving lots of vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains and vegetarian proteins. Now I notice if I haven't eaten enough of something or too much sugars. I can tell by my cravings, energy levels and mood. I am grateful to recieve healthy signals from my body about what to eat, instead of the old ones that lead me to unhealthy places. - [Healthy Eating vs. Time](https://divineandrogyne.com/healthy-eating-vs-time): The biggest excuse for not eating well is TIME! I hear it over and over that people are lacking the time they need to cook, exercise and make good choices. I understand! - [Sugar is as addictive as Cocaine!](https://divineandrogyne.com/sugar-is-an-addictive-substance): I began to eliminate sugar from my diet. "High Fructose Corn Syrup" was the first to go and I certainly noticed the withdraw symptoms, by no means was it easy. I had a headache, was fatigued, and lacked focus for at least 4-5 days. As time went on I was able to mostly eliminate it by baking my own treats or buying organic products with cane sugar. Once I was off of it I would occasionally revisit it and was immediately disgusted by the physical reaction to the substance. Not only did I feel like crap but I craved more of it. I found myself craving sugary products and becoming compulsive about it at times. I would compulsively eat cake, pies, cookies, ice cream - I would even sneak it so no one knew that I was cheating on my diet or eating THAT much. I would shamefully give in to the cravings, beat myself up about it later and find myself looking for more comfort with food. An ugly cycle I was happy to put a big stop sign in. Now HFCS is completely off the menu and if I do ingest it I am very aware of its addictive properties. - [Believe you can change your life!](https://divineandrogyne.com/believing): So when you find yourself questioning your ability to make the changes you need you make, remember some important keys. Always remember that the whole job can look very large but each step is actually very small. I often relate this to climbing a hill, mountain, or rock. Sometimes when I first began to exercise I would find myself standing at the bottom of the hill wondering if I could ever get my out of shape body to the top. I struggled with muscle tiredness and weight induced asthma that makes the climbing very uncomfortable. Some days I had to stop in the middle of the hill and many days I simply made it to the top, one step at a time. I focus on each step, rather than the entire hill. I see the hill and then I simply refocus to the tiny steps. Each step you get closer and closer, don't give up, no matter what. You can climb, you can overcome, you can do this. Its one simple step at a time. - [Permanent Weight Loss through Lifestyle Changes](https://divineandrogyne.com/small-steps): Lifestyle change is a permanent change. The name itself implies that it will last since it will be a lifestyle. At anytime we can change our lifestyles in many different ways. Some peoples lives are more work centered while others are more socially centered. - [HELP!! I keep “Falling Off the Wagon”](https://divineandrogyne.com/falling-off-the-wagon): So when they are making not so good choices they often feel the need to tell me why they have recently "fell off the wagon" Often they are surprised at my response. Often its just one simple sentence, "As long as you don't stay fallen then its no big deal." - [How can I naturally lose weight?](https://divineandrogyne.com/natural-weight-loss): Losing weight naturally has always been my goal. I don't want to do on a diet and see saw nor do I want to take some pills to lose weight. Something I heard several times while I trying to get help losing weight, "80% food and 20% exercise" I would mostly agree with that statement but I think its lacks the other parts that will need attention. But for this blog I want to talk about just how important diet change is. - [A Holistic Approach to Lifestyle Changes](https://divineandrogyne.com/holistic): By Hollis Taylor ## Pages - [Digital Shop](https://divineandrogyne.com/shop-2): Digital downloadable files to support your spiritual awakening created by Hollis Taylor and Bright Hawk. - [Gift Readings](https://divineandrogyne.com/gift_readings):  Gift Reading or Coaching - [Metaphysical Coaching](https://divineandrogyne.com/metaphysical-coaching): Hollis is a huge fan of metaphysical tools and has tried out a lot of them.
