In what will come as a shock to absolutely no one, I was a very annoying child.

While other kids were running around, showing off their light-up British Knight sneakers in their Catholic school uniforms at recess, I was bothering the nuns, priests and teachers about the spiritual nature of our shared reality.

As young as four and five years old, I would exhaust adults with a near-constant barrage of intense, existential questions, like: “Who is God?”, “Who were God’s parents?”, “Where is God from?”, “Why did he make us?”, “How did he make us?”, and “Where is he living now?”.

These adults would do their best to be patient and tolerant of my singular, totally ‘tistic point of curiosity, issuing fake profundities and thought-terminating cliches like, “God has just always existed,” in the hopes that the verbal water torture from a small, humanoid Gremlin would cease.

Unsurprisingly, these answers were unsatisfactory to me even way back then. And the questions did not, in fact, ever stop.

In Elementary School, I would spend hours reading books about Shinto and watching Unsolved Mysteries episodes about reincarnation. As far back as Middle School, I was using Study Hall to research Goethe and his philosophy’s ties to alchemy and mystical Kabbalah. In eighth grade, I read tarot cards for my aunt’s coworkers at their office holiday party. During my freshman year of High School, my grandmother gifted me a Kabbalah deck and a Native American totem animal book at Christmas— both designed to help me with what she called my “weird, spooky shit”.

In college, I relished the theological and philosophical core curriculum of my Jesuit university, asking the annoying, nagging questions of my professors all the way through. In my early twenties, I would take my lunch break out at the public gardens by the Art Institute of Chicago, undertaking shamanic journeying meditations before returning to work in my cubicle on the 46th floor of the Aon Center.

I attended Woo Woo trainings and workshops and bothered new people with my annoying spiritual questions. For years, I worked with my own shaman, blown away by unexplainable experiences and phenomenon that would emerge in our sessions— and in the days and weeks to follow.

I started TOTEM Readings in 2011, reading tarot cards and facilitating meditation workshops for spiritually-curious folks every weekend in Chicago while working full-time in corporate to pay my bills. Since then, I have pivoted to doing the Woo full-time, expanding my service offerings and continuing my learning and development to get certified in new modalities like Mediumship, Feng Shui and Akashic Record Readings, among many others. I mean, I even host a podcast in which I ask the same, annoying spiritual questions that I asked when I was a young child, pursuing the answers underpinning the nature of our reality from a diverse array of guests and thought leaders.

Hell, this very Substack is dedicated to getting the answer to the age old question: “Who Made The World?”:

Now, at the ripe old (and very tired) age of 41, I may actually be on the cusp of getting some of the answers I’ve been seeking my entire life.

Hell, we might all be getting some of these answers soon, whether everyone wants them or not.

There is something (or some things) in the sky that seems to be, in the words of the I Ching, “Coming To Meet” us. In fact, the coming January 13th Full Moon in Cancer has all of the hallmarks of the beginning of a dramatic, inter-dimensional meet-up: orbs, UAPs, drones, strange fogs, and even video evidence of what appear to be two (and sometimes three) “suns” hanging low on the horizon line.

But “they” are not just coming to meet us via the sky.

They’re coming to meet us in our psychic senses—and our “dreams”, meditations, and channeling sessions as well. They seem to be operating in both a particle and a wave form, leveraging the mystical language underpinning quantum mechanics to make contact in a variety of ways.

And, while this is exciting and exhilarating (particularly for those of us life-long spiritual and supernatural seekers), it also has all of the hallmarks of an intentional, multi-step seduction. The lights in the sky, the spontaneous appearance of new psychic abilities, the drip of overt messages in our “dreams”…it all smacks of an elaborate mating dance: a wave across a dance floor, followed up by the delivery of flowers with a note, all the way up to an effort to entice us away from the mundane, asking us to throw caution to the wind as we embrace our exuberant, metaphorical texting with these members of another species.

Now, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and I don’t think the majority of what we’re seeing in the sky or experiencing in the Woo is nefarious. From my point of view, it’s quite the contrary.

But, given the scale and the stakes, I think it’s vital we use our intuition and our discernment— and remember that we appear to be a crucial ingredient in whatever is unfolding in our reality.

“So, how exactly do we do that?”, you might be wondering.

Well, that’s what this Cancer Full Moon Deep Dive is all about.

After all, they’re Coming To Meet us. We might as well get ready.
