Lady of Radiant Joy Massage

CLOSED FOR BUSINESS.
see LadyofRadiantjoy.org for Tarot and Reiki updates and such.

MAJOR UPDATE - I hope this update finds everyone well.

This month of April will be the last month that I will be doing massage therapy as a business.

I've thought long and hard, meditated, got some counsel, and decided that it's best for me to focus on tarot and the arts, which means I no longer need the office space.

So, if you want a massage from me, the last day you can do that is the 27th of April.

I have been incredibly grateful to each and every one of you, and hope to see you in the future.

If you ever need a massage I highly recommend Anna Beltran, aka: Open to Serenity. She has been my office mate and she was a teacher's aide when I was in the massage program. My style is similar to hers so if you vibe with me, you likely will with her.

If you want someone who is also really good but uses more pressure and has more of a sequence, I highly recommend David Stevens aka: Pure Massage Therapy.

When looking for another massage therapist I highly recommend finding someone who knows Neuromuscular Massage, Lymph Drainage, MyoFascial Release, and Shiatsu pressure points.

May you be well and happy!
Sincerely,
Ruth-Renate

Local peeps. Come learn how to do candle making with intention!! I hope I see some of y’all there!!

Candle Making with Intention (beeswax, heatless, scholarships available) Make your own candles without any cooking! with INTENTION based on what energies you wanna bring in, what support you need, etc

I'll be doing Tarot readings at the Coffee Shack in Campbell! On the 19th. Because it'll be before Halloween/Samhain I'll be dressing up, and bringing some spooky decks along with other decks to choose from for your reading.

Special $10 for 10 minutes price.
Other cool peeps will be there too. Leather workers and chainmaille. So I hope to see you all there to support local artists at the Local Maker's Market.

Teaching 4 Winds today! A couple people decided to play and do something different with it. I love the creativity!!

Our artist guest of honor was there too! Elizabeth Legget Elizabeth Leggett! A freakin’ delight. Check out her art too.

BIG THANKS to Steampunk Garage for not only teaching me chainmaille but for letting me use their freakin GLORIOUS tutorials!!

Much gratitude. Much fun. 💚💚💚

Pics today teaching Mobius Ball weave at BayCon 2024!!

I did the 5 of Swords for this deck! Mood 2 now on Kickstarter. A completely ridiculous blasphemous NSFW deck. There are 78 artists* which is fun!

*full disclosure, 9 artists used generative AI to varying degrees which is explained in the Kickstarter itself. However, I did NOT know this was going to be allowed but it's a bit late to back out now.

Made this vid a week ago but it got cut off by IG/FB. Here it be in full.

Impromptu Sermon - You Did The Work Spiritual betrayal is real but what matters most is that you did the spiritual work. The spiritual leader who betrayed you can’t ever take that away from you...

So I watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose. SO GOOD.

That turned me to watch Anneliese: The Exorcist Tapes.
Dude.
I wanna slap everyone involved.

You don't insult someone's beliefs.
You don't ignore the needs of the body.
You don't yell at the person in pain, or say nasty things to her or about her. Like, omg. So many things they did wrong, all over the place.

Now I wanna read some books about the real case, but damn, what a thing to watch on how to make it worse. Medically, spiritually. Ugh.

Yeah, I guess as someone who loves modern medicine and loves energy healing and spirituality and such things, and who has helped people deal with physical and spiritual issues, and casting out malicious spirits, yeah, it was less scary and more rage inducing for me on a professional level.

Faith and reason.
Reason and faith.
Both are often needed.

Okay, Imma shut up now before I turn this into a soap box post.

Now off to watch A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) for the first time.

Today, on this Mother’s Day, is comic book geek day in the office! So fun. 💚

The roses at my office smell delightful. Be sure to smell them on your way up!

The text says
“The Burden of a Trans Ghost
“… let me be me I beg of thee …”

A ghost was following me today. She opened the door to the back office at the Universal Church of the Master office. She asked for water. And to be drawn.

To draw her specifically and then this came out. And while I was drawing the water bottle crinkled. And after I was done I looked at the chair I had pulled out for her. And she is gone.

But when she first came to me she presented as male. And guided my drawing and the words. The words are hers.

I think the message is pretty clear. Respect a dead person’s gender identity after death. So you don’t hurt them on the other side.
