Emperor & Blood Incantation: The Emperial Wrath Tour

I found myself hosting a new Orb of Energy. Based on Astrological timing, there was a connection from the Root to the Crown, bursting through a barricade of the Throat Chakra. While this may be personal to me, I would be curious to understand the impact on a collective scale. As my beloved and I were granted with Capricorn Mercuries at birth, I find these sequence of events to be a necessary phase of evolution, healing and transformation for us. Especially as Emperor and Blood Incantation began their performance as the Moon shifted from Sagittarius into Capricorn. Leading the way into the final conclusionary release of the Last Quarter Capricorn Moon of this Aries Season.

House of the Setting Sun

The night was curated to flawlessness. As I exited, I hugged people that I had only met a few hours before.  We need more interactions like these.  Stop with all the divisive behavior and come together over commonality. We have limited time on this floating space orb, and we should be sharing in its beauty, rather than fighting for control.  Find your community.  Find your space.  It is then that you will find your peace.

TreeHouse Nashville- Waning Gibbous in Scorpio

Twas a fairly standard rainy, and mildly stormy, Nashville (almost Spring) Saturday. A perfect night for the Underground Music Scene of aspiring artists that lurk within the streets of this city. Ambitious beings, with a vision, a dream, a heart and a purpose to climb the mountain that is their artistic legacy. Here under the Waning Full Moon, now in Scorpio, hidden by the dark clouds. A perfect night to cozy up with a dear friend, enjoy an immaculate charcuterie board (handcrafted by Hive Board Nash) and experience the musical craft from the bleeding hearts of Nashville. TreeHouse Nash was hosting their March show at the lovely Rosemary Schultz’ home. I had the pleasure to witness to a night full of local, underground, debuting, passionate, and everything in between, artists, creatives and musicians. Here the community gathered into an intimate space, all for the shared love of music.

Meels Headlines The Station Inn

Meels comes to us via Los Angeles but you would never think it when hearing her sing. She has a sound that mirrors the legends that laid the groundwork before her. Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt and even Dolly herself would certainly lift a smile to know that this young lady is carrying on in a much-needed tradition of Americana and Folk. Tonight, she was supported by another Los Angeles resident named Phoebe Sanders.

Eastside Bowl, DRKMTTR and 615 Indie Live

February 7th, 2026 marked the second installation of 615 Indie Live in Nashville, Tennessee. There were nearly 70 collective musical acts performing at 15 venues across the city. The purpose is to promote within.  The nonprofit organization of Music Venue Alliance Nashville (MVAN) works hard to make sure that independent venues and artists of the area are represented and able to perform during a typically slow time for live music. This is a celebration of new artists, singers, songwriters and original music that you may not get your ear to through any other channel.  The whole experience was just $20 to get into every spot and see every band possible.

Caermonia Memoriam Norway 2026

At the end of the Ceremony, I would say I felt changed to some degree. Not only for the love, harmony and peace felt within the community for my husband and I. But from the force of MUSIC. Music that brings us all together. Even the darkest of us. Music is a foundation of home within us all. If you cannot relate to someone who is different than you, I dare you to connectto them through music and art. We can bridge our division through the deep inner networkings of the muse within us all. Because at the end of the day, we are all people grieving the loss of something or someone we love. We are all people fighting to find joy in creative endeavors. We are all souls living in a sea of chaos. We release the horrors through the rite of creation and we unify within community. May we all continue to create. For we never know the significance of what we shall leave behind. And it will always be worth it. Whether it is a billion beings, or one lost soul. The inspiration you leave behind is your magick mark upon this realm.
