In my last newsletter, I talked about Magick & The 5 Phases of the Moon. Today, I want to go a little deeper, and reveal the moon when it's in each astrological house. Harnessing the power of the moon in each phase brings a level of potency to your rituals. The moon also travels through each …
Moon Phases
Magick, rituals, and spells are prayers in action. Aligning your magick with moon phases can help you create better and faster outcomes. Magick & The 5 Phases of the Moon: To me, the moon has five distinct phases: New Moon: Sometimes described as The Crescent Moon, this is when a sliver …

How to Meditate
Hey there! It’s Gianna again! In my last newsletter I explained the “what and why” of meditation. This week I will explain the how! Before we get started, I want to mention (again) that there is not just one way to meditate. Your meditation is your practice, so if something doesn’t resonate …
What exactly is meditation?
I know you’re not used to hearing from me (and some of you don’t even know who I am!). My name is Gianna and I am Gina’s daughter, owner of Curio Curandera LLC and co-owner of Curio, Craft, & Conjure. While Gina is our resident Divination Queen, I am our resident Healer. I help you to recognize, …
Bloom
We have all experienced the sense of urgency to “learn everything” and “move forward.” With that, we are often confronted with challenges and setbacks. When a situation, person, or thing appears to hold you back, remember that in this setback lays the blessing of an opportunity for a solution and …
From Descention to Ascension
Throughout our lives, we’ll witness cycles within ourselves as we “descend” into our lower selves and then “ascend” into a perspective that supports our spiritual growth. These journeys carry stories of descent into betrayal, temptation, depression, and injustice. Our ruthless actions often come …
Ready for The Red Pill?
Many people come into their spirituality by way of Magick to help others, themselves, or to simply feel like they have more influence in their lives than they had been led to believe. It is soothing to adopt rituals that honor cycles – be it life, seasons, and/or phases of the moon. Stepping …
Weird Fishes & Shadow Magick
The other day, my friend (and former Mentor student) stopped by Curio, Craft & Conjure to grab a few things. While in the store, one of my favorite songs (Weird Fishes - by Lianne La Havas) was playing. My friend cocked her head to the side and said, "wait - that's a Radiohead song!" (I never …
Spiritual Garbage Picking
As a store owner, I now get to go crazy in one of my secret addictions: Books. I come from a family of voracious readers, but it was my ex-husband who introduced me to the “self-help” category, leading me away sexy from chick-lit novels. Many of the books we carry at Curio, Craft & …

The Love & Light Fraud
We all have our dark side – our shadow self that we keep hidden- often even from ourselves. For many – that dark side is simply part of their existence, and it is out there for all the world to see (thank you!) But there are many people in spiritual communities who “present” themselves as …
The Gold in Our Shadow
Our Shadow side is the dumping ground for the aspects of ourselves we don’t want to accept….that part of us that accumulates more energy than our ego - sometimes erupting as an overpowering rage. Jung believed that we are all born whole, but at some point, after “eating the fruit from the tree of …
Shadow Magick
Magick and Spirituality, contrary to popular belief – is not all "love and light." The truth is our "light" would not exist without our "dark". We all have a dark side. All of us – even the most "spiritual" have anger, bitterness, hate, and fear. To access this power, you have to go to those …
