🌿 Intro Reflection: Hotboxing the Astral Plane
People always ask me what astral travel feels like. Honestly? Half the time it’s majestic — crystalline temples, glowing rivers, spirits who look like they just got back from a cosmic spa.
The other half? It feels like showing up to a party you weren’t invited to and realizing someone already smoked the good weed.
So, naturally, I decided to fix that. One joint, a candle, and a very determined playlist later, I found myself in the astral lounge filling the whole place with smoke. Spirits floated by, coughing politely. One demon asked if it was indica. I told him yes. He offered me his number.
✨ Shadow Moral: The astral isn’t about escaping this world — it’s about remembering you carry the smoke, the vibe, and the weirdness with you wherever you go.

🔮 Ritual of the Week: A Spell to Hotbox the Astral Plane
Ingredients:
A joint, vape, or incense (whatever fuels your smoke signal)
A candle (for the vibe, not the fire alarm)
Your bed, couch, or comfy spot
Steps:
Light your candle. Take a few deep breaths of smoke. Feel it swirl in your lungs.
Close your eyes and imagine exhaling into the astral — the smoke filling a room beyond the veil.
Picture the beings there noticing you: guides, tricksters, ancestors. What’s their reaction? Amusement? Annoyance? Curiosity?
Whisper: “This smoke is my beacon. This space is mine to vibe in.”
Stay until the vision fades. Journal what showed up — even if it’s just astral munchies.
✨ Shadow Moral: Sometimes connection isn’t about deep chants or solemn rites. Sometimes it’s just passing the joint to your higher self.
This is where the free ride fades out like smoke in the astral lounge. If you’ve been vibing with the rituals, the trip tales, and the shadow prompts — remember:
🔒 After Issue #4, the Ritual of the Week and other spell drops become Inner Circle–only.
Free subscribers will still get the reflections, shadow prompts, and lunar wisdom. But if you want the full grimoire — the raw rituals, the unfiltered trip stories, the downloads your shadow actually craves — you’ll need to step deeper.
🌑 Shadow Work Prompt
What part of myself have I been treating like a guest in my own space — and how can I welcome it home?
Ask it a question out loud: “What do you actually need?” Don’t censor the answer. It might say “weed and a nap,” or it might say “for you to stop pretending I don’t exist.” Either way, write it down.
🌌 Celestial Currents (Week of Oct 22, 2025)
🌗 The Moon is at third quarter (waning half) — the phase of release, integration, and balance.
✨ Advice for you: This week, practice letting go of something small but sticky: an old grudge, an app you hate, or a self-criticism you’ve been replaying. The third quarter Moon invites balance — honor what you’ve built, release what you’ve outgrown, and prepare space for the new cycle.
