Welcome to Long Strange Trip, a newsletter about healing, growth, and the journeys we take. This space is for the seekers, the wanderers and those on a spiritual path who are curious to learn about the stars, the planets, the mystical and occult practices that offer ancient wisdom beyond what’s in plain sight or the collective zeitgeist. If you are a seeker and looking for new ways to approach old problems, this space is for you. I think magic is real and these practices don’t take away uncertainty, but rather to help us navigate and cope with it as a natural part of life.
In the summer of 2022 I was working at Omega Institute offering readings to people from all around the world - each on their own unique journey. Working as a tarot and reiki practitioner, I was lucky enough to be a stop on their journey and witness so many deep insights, I was inspired to start this newsletter and share more about all the spiritual practices that have helped me grow and find more ease here on earth. Life is both mundane and mystical and there is divine timing in everything.
Thanks so much for being here. You can subscribe and receive monthly astrology content and there is also the option to become a paid subscriber, which comes with more perks like detailed tarot readings, horoscopes and musings.
I hope our paths cross again soon!
About me:
I have never considered myself a writer, but I’ve taken enough trips around the sun & written enough poems, blogs, and newsletters to finally use the label, so….Hello! I’m Holly. I am a writer, an astrologer, tarot reader, and energy worker.
I have spent a lot of my life exploring spiritual practices, from Zen Buddhism at 18 years old, to a college class in Eastern Psychology, to many trips to India - I have always been a seeker. I’ve also worked in finance, fashion, and sold mailing machines - I’ve taken many roads on this journey.
In an effort to heal from my own past experiences, I studied Yoga in NYC, became a Reiki Master in 2014 and found tarot and astrology along the way. I share everything I learn with the hope that it will help you in the same way it did me. My work is born from my own experience and continues to change and grow as I do.
I continue to study the healing arts & other creative musings. I believe in magic. I also love to cook, garden, work with herbs, cast spells, write poetry, and read a million books at once. Thanks so much for being here.
