Synty
Path: I am an animistic shamanic practitioner devoted to the spirit I refer to as Bedrock also working with several animistic spirits including Wapiti (elk) and other genius loci. All of whom helped me develop an energetic magical practice that friends have compared to reiki and chaos magic.
General info: I identify as Non-Binary trans femme and use they/them/theirs pronouns. I have been a practicing pagan for over 20 years and have been working with Bedrock for the duration as the primary spirit I work with. Most of that time was spent as a solitary practitioner with the last rough 8ish years being involved with a mix of traditions and organizations. Being primarily spirit taught, my understanding of things is not always in line with what people agree with or expect.
I grew up in rural eastern Pennsylvania and currently live in Southwest Michigan. There has been a small selection of manufacturing jobs in both areas that put food on my table and a roof over my family’s heads. I love learning and digging into understanding why people do the things they do and why they think the way they think. Which in part informs the emotional and trauma-based shadow work I help people with.
