Some of the most useful tools I carry came from a woman who gave them away freely, without ceremony, just because she thought they might help. That was Terri. Terri was my teacher first, then my mentor, then my friend. She passed a few years ago, but if you know anything about people with genuine spiritual gifts, you know that passing doesn't mean gone. She continues to send guidance my way, and I continue to receive it with gratitude. One of the things she taught me that I r

I've been lighting candles my whole life without giving much thought to what color I was reaching for. A red one because it looked nice. A white one because it was what I had. Somewhere along the way I started noticing that I'd instinctively grab green when I was worried about money, or reach for red when my heart was involved in something. I wasn't following a rule. It just felt right. That's actually how candle magic tends to begin for a lot of people — quietly, intuitively

There are some days on the wheel of the year that feel like they're running on a different kind of electricity. Today is one of them. May 1st is Beltane — one of the great fire festivals of the Celtic calendar, a day that practically hums with life force energy. And this year, it falls on a Full Moon in Scorpio. If you felt something shift when you woke up this morning, or noticed a particular intensity in the air, you weren't imagining it. You were picking up on something re

Have you ever glanced at the clock at exactly 11:11 — again? Or noticed the same sequence show up on a receipt, a license plate, and the number of unread emails you have, all in the same afternoon? That's not a coincidence. That's a nudge. Angel numbers are repeating number sequences that carry meaning — a way the universe (or your guides, your higher self, the divine, however you understand it) communicates with you when words won't quite cut through the noise. They meet you

Before I was a shop owner, before I was any kind of practitioner in a formal sense, I believed in angels. I think most of us do, even if we don't say it out loud. The Pew Foundation found that 72% of Americans believe in angels — more than identify with any single world religion. This statistic never surprised me considering angels show up everywhere: in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormonism, and countless other traditions. They are one of the rare threa

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose / By any other name would smell as sweet" It's one of the questions I'm asked most often: why Angels & Acorns? The honest answer is that the name found me more than I found it. When I first began thinking about opening my own business, I knew I wanted to create spiritual items. So much of what I could find in crystal and metaphysical shops was cheaply made and mass-produced. My vision was something different — handmade, unique, and

I am a 40 something living near Atlanta, Georgia with my husband, my 3 year old daughter, our golden retriever, and two cats. I am a licensed attorney who has been acting as general counsel for a small environmental consulting firm I helped found way back in 2010. That firm has recently been acquired by a larger entity and we are all working through what that means for roles and responsibilities. It’s been a lot of fun - but mostly just stressful.
