come in, make yourself at home. this is where I’d begin.

Maybe you're exhausted from trying to hold everything together. Maybe you're curious about tarot, the cycles of the moon, Reiki, or earth medicine. Maybe you're grieving, beginning again, or simply looking for a way to build a spiritual life that feels honest instead of performative.

If that's you, you're in the right place.

I am Angelica Yingst, or you can call me Angie. I am an earth medicine practitioner, weaving the medicine of the earth—crystals, herbs, plants, animals, Reiki, story, ritual, and grounded insight—into the lives of ordinary people trying to find their way home to themselves.

I have been called a tarotist, a seer, a teacher, a mentor, a guide, and a healer.

Okay, that's my résumé.

Honestly, I'm also just another bozo on the bus, as we say in recovery. I came to this work because I needed it. It carried me through childhood trauma, addiction and recovery, cancer, grief, and the ongoing work of living inside a complicated human life. I have sought answers to my whys. I’ve used all the tools. I humbly walk side by side with my students and clients—doing my own healing while guiding them on their own journey, empowering them to take control of their own healing, showing them the tools, and guiding them through the daily sacred practice.

Through my decades of practice, I have discovered that we are rarely called to become something more; rather, we are asked to accept who we are—radically and unconditionally—moving into full peace with the self. I found my own journey was about remembering who I am, not becoming some perfectly curated spiritual hippie who's forgotten how much creative energy it takes just to clean the dang house. I am still that punk rocker working with my sacred anger, a crunchy mami who drops the f-bomb, but scolds the kids when they call someone stupid, a gardener and birder, and of course, a crone-y bog witch.

So much of my work is about cycles and the turning of the great wheel of Mother Earth, Grandmother Moon, and of course, our own rhythms and cycles as maiden, mother, and crone, or page, knight, and king, or hero, father and elder. I work with those cycles, rather than against them, and I teach my students the same thing. Work with the wind at your back, friend. I’ll teach you. I work with the agrarian calendar, animal medicine, the lunar cycles and the sun cycles, cycles of reflection and insight, and our own stages of life that give us biological insights we need to steward the earth, our communities and our families.

My tools include earth medicine, tarot, astrology, Reiki, shamanic journeying, sound, breath, storytelling, and sacred conversation. Some people come for a reading. Others for healing. Others to study. Most stay because they're looking for a way to build a spiritual life that can survive an ordinary Tuesday.

One more thing: when I started this journey of mine in healing myself, I started with an intention to be psychic. And what happened very quickly was that I got really sick. Months went by, and I forgot I had even set an intention, and hadn’t seen anything psychically. Then I went to a healing circle, and had a completely cool psychic experience with White Buffalo Calf Woman. It was amazing.

But what I can say now after watching thousands of women and men set the same intention is that the spiritual journey is about 2% really cool mystical experiences and the other 98% is daily maintenance of your spiritual self. We live in a culture obsessed with breakthrough moments, but the spiritual life is mostly built through ordinary moments.

I don’t sell spirituality. I cultivate sacred practices.

I tend circles. I empower people. I facilitate healing and provide insight. I reflect back to my clients their inherent worthiness until they can see it for themselves. Because we don’t need to figure it all out in one day, we can just tend to what matters right now.

I invite you to a lifelong practice. Healing is the practice of returning again and again, day after day. The sacred is found in the tending, in curiosity and asking the questions, in the patience of cycles and waiting for the right time (cycles are wiser than urgency,) in nature and unraveling the myth of separation, and that truth that the sacred lives in ordinary practice. There is a beautiful concept from the Benedictine tradition: Always we begin again. It is simple and has endured for centuries because it names something deeply human. And so, I invite you to always begin again. I am here to help.
