April 2026 Newsletter: New Moon, New News in Aries 🔥

Applied Knowledge is Wisdom

As eight celestial bodies move through Aries, everything feels like it’s burning.

Maybe you’ve spent the last few months focused on what needed to burn internally, eagerly awaiting the soul underneath all the masks.

With patience, perspective, and compassion, you became curious about yourself.

Maybe you focused your attention outward on our burning world.

With courage, persistence, and perspective, you witnessed a way of being that is not life-affirming.

You felt the grief, the anger, the anxiety, the helplessness.

However you’ve chosen to show up, whatever knowledge you’ve taken in, it hasn’t left you unchanged.

The real question is: who have you become because of it?

Both paths have the opportunity to illuminate the deeper wound.

Both paths offer us knowledge.

But knowledge without action is unsatisfying.

As a result, many people come into our London Ontario spiritual psychotherapist clinic with a deep knowledge of their wounds.

However, that knowledge does little to ease their pain.

Why is that?

Because awareness is only the beginning, and healing is a participatory process.

Knowing is the threshold.

But when knowledge is applied by us; when it is turned into action, into choice, into embodiment, that’s when it becomes wisdom.

That’s when things begin to shift.

We need more life energy, but life energy doesn’t come from avoidance or endless analysis.

It comes from engagement.

From choosing, again and again, to act in alignment with what you know to be true.

We have enough knowledge.

Navigating life under late-stage capitalism fills us with knowledge.

We know about the Epstein files.

We know about the academy website with over 80 million visits.

We know about multiple genocides and ecocides.

We know.

Now, what are we doing about it?

How can we move towards even the smallest action?

Applied knowledge is wisdom, and wisdom is what turns fire into something that refines us rather than consuming us.

The Witch’s Therapist and Archetypes

The Witch’s Therapist exists at the crossroads, deep within the liminal darkness.

Many are stuck there.

We have taken on the role of torchbearers, of guides holding forth lanterns on the edge of the dark.

This responsibility requires a very specific type of person.

As a result, finding the right people to join this team requires a lot more than just reading through resumes.

To support me in that search, I’ve built The Witch’s Therapist with archetypes in mind.

In particular: the Sage, the Ruler, and the Nurturer.

The Sage

This archetype serves from a place of deep understanding.

They embody wisdom and express it as guidance.

They help us become a fuller expression of ourselves by learning to embody wisdom ourselves.

The Ruler

This archetype embodies well-earned confidence in setting up supportive structures and spaces.

They’re in control without being controlling.

Their responsible use of power is reassuring and empowering.

The Nurturer

When someone enters the room with this archetypal energy, it causes everyone to feel at ease.

They sense immediately that they are earnestly cared for by this person.

The Nurturer radiates warmth and care, helping restore us to our full power and to continue growing beautifully.

Finding These Archetypes

It’s relatively easy to make a resume look appealing.

It’s a totally different experience to embody these archetypes.

These archetypes summon people who have done their own work, which can’t be faked.

They hold knowledge, live in alignment with their values, hold wisdom, and feel wholeheartedly.

They are rare, and yet they find their way to The Witch’s Therapist in their own time.

Shortly after I met Kerri Phillips, I asked them to join the team at The Witch’s Therapist.

I knew in my body this person is it.

But life needed to take them on a different path, and after a year (or maybe two), they found their way back to us.

Kerri, the faerie, joins us as a therapist with a passion for numerology and a range of skills that help bring us back into our bodies through movement and energy work.

Kerri is joining our in-person team in London Ontario, and online, and is currently accepting new clients!
