stoke
the sacred fire.
ishkode is the beating heart of my work.
it is a community centered on scholarly companionship and shared spiritual formation. in ishkode, ecology, history, and astrology are woven into essays, forecasts, seminars, and community circles.
ishkode is not social media. it is slower, deeper, and designed for sustained relationship over time. if what i share elsewhere has sparked your interest, i invite you to come stoke the steady flame of the good fire, ishkode.
membership is monthly. you can join at any time, upgrade or downgrade as makes sense for you. all essays and recordings are archived for members.
within ishkode,
i write zakide! dispatches from the firebreak, an essay series devoted to saturn, neptune, and their time together in aries.
i publish video forecasts of each lunar cycle with the new moon. in these forecasts, each planetary alignment and ingress is tied to ancestral nativities and historical moments, inviting us to reflect on how the stories of the past can teach us how to live our lives today.
i hold seminars under the full moon, highlighting my astro-eco-historical research in an informal and highly relational space. seminars are held live on zoom, recorded, and posted afterwards.
i hold community circles around the first and last quarter moon of each lunar month, for gathering, processing, and integrating the astrological cycles in our own lives.
ishkode might be for you if…
you practice astrology as part of your broader spiritual formation
you are drawn to history, ecology, and traditional cultural understandings
you are deconstructing empire and reconnecting to your own lineages in a good way
you want to share and grow in a warm, relational community of astro-scholars
you come with a good heart and spirit
