I’m a weaver of crystalline thought. I created the Humanity Gem. I’m now focusing on a shamanic journey to bring this gem to our ordinary reality.

My shamanic travels occur with plant allies — marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms. These plants allow me to enter a non-ordinary reality and explore a vast dimension of space and time. As you’ve probably already guessed, this site is psychedelic.

My spiritual mentors are Ben Rowe (an Enochian magician), Don Juan Matus (the Nagual of the Carlos Castaneda books) and Terence McKenna (shamanic explorer of the late 20th century). These three people are my guides, respectively, for magic, sorcery and shamanism.

My spiritual animals are a dragon, a bear, a fly and a scorpion. These animals have chosen me during my shamanic journeys. I inhabit them or they inhabit me and I feel as they feel. I feel blessed to have these beings as allies.

Weaver of crystalline thought.
I trace light through structure, shaping abstract forms into something felt.
What begins as geometry becomes language, and sometimes, memory.
I work where pattern meets perception—quietly mapping the edges of what we are.
