Introductions

Welcome to The Lodestar.

I have been instructed by my deity to Get To Work.

I brainstormed how I could best be of service, and decided on this website. This way I can help the best way I know how: by listening, offering advice when asked, and sharing my knowledge with others. Additionally, it offers us flexibility so the space can evolve and adapt to the community’s needs.

Why The Lodestar? Why not name the website after yourself?

Well, first of all, I believe I can best be of service through holding space for others. It’s not about me. Additionally, the way I self-identify both personally and online tends to change. I do not like chaining myself to one avatar. Therefore, I prefer the space to be the constant: this way I can (and will) continue to evolve and adjust to what resonates best with myself without confusing or losing you.

Ok, then why The Lodestar specifically?

A lodestar is a guiding star, used in navigation. But it is also a reference to The Star card in tarot: a card of healing.

In my practice, personal, and work life I identify best as a healer: I am the one people go to for an empathetic ear, advice, and guidance. My default setting is to help. Makes sense that the space I choose to hold online to help others navigate their own paths should be called The Lodestar.

Ok, so then why is the website numinousguidance and not thelodestar?

Well, because that is why the website exists and what it provides:

numinous (magical) guidance.

I have been spiritually guided to create it, and the reason for it is to offer magical guidance for others.

Additionally, there are many domains and service providers who also use some for or star or lodestar in their name, and I wanted to avoid confusion with the address.
