In this deeply personal episode of Through the Eyes of a Mystic, I share how a gift from my mother — a Thoth tarot deck — opened the door to a life of magic, mystery, and community. You’ll hear about the wild energy of South Beach in the 90s, the priestess who taught me my first esbat, and the unforgettable Samhain that changed everything.

Even if you couldn’t be with us live, you’re warmly invited to experience the ceremony at your own pace over the next week or two. The energy of Samhain lingers long after the night itself, and the veil remains open for all who seek to honor their ancestors and renew their spirit.

Before I became a priest, healer, and teacher, I was just a boy kneeling in a pew—entranced by candlelight, incense, and mystery. But destiny had other plans.
