Your Magic Is Calling: Intuition, Hair Ritual and Witch Wound Healing with Ana Luisa Valdes

What happens when our hair becomes a portal for healing, intuition and deep self-alchemy? In this episode I sit down with the incomparable Ana Luisa Valdes, a psychic channel, bruja and hair witch who transforms the salon chair into sacred ritual. From childhood conversations with the unseen, to her profound healing journey that began in rehab at nineteen, Ana Luisa shares how she awakened her magic, reclaimed her gifts, and built Flow State Hair Studio as a sanctuary for intuitive work, energetic cleansing and ancestral remembrance.

Together, we explore the power woven into our strands, why hair holds memory, how ritual can activate healing, and what really happens when you reclaim your intuitive identity after years of dimming your magic. We also go deep into the witch wound, the shadows that arise when you become fully expressed, and the mysterious spiritual initiations unfolding in her life right now. This conversation is intimate, mystical and wildly eye opening in all the best ways.

 Hello, Untamed Beauties. I am here today with a really fantastic episode and a guest that I feel like so unique in this world and even unique from what you've experienced of having guests on the podcast in the past. And y'all know I'm very particular about the guest. That. Come on here. I don't even have guests on the podcast that often.

And when somebody really speaks to my heart and it's like, Ugh, I just feel like this this woman would be so amazing for this community here in the Untamed Soul to here. I'm gonna welcome Anna Louisa Valdez to the podcast and a little bit about her before I turn it over to her. One, she's a Leo, rising Libra Moon and a Pisces Sun. What a combination. And I'll be sharing more about that and even her own artistry and what she brings forward.

She owns a hair salon studio in Vancouver, her hair salon is called Flow State Hair Salon. And one of the coolest things is she actually does ritual with people's hair.

Like literally, I think this is the coolest thing and I can't wait to hear about this. So she is a bruja, which in Spanish is witch, and an intuitive channel and a feeler who alchemizes trauma, ancestral pain, and years of silence intuition into her. Own medicine as a child. She always spoke with the unseen realms and she was very conditioned, like most of us, to dim her magic and dim her gifts, which led her overall to a deep disconnection to her, her own self, and began her healing journey at 19 when she went into rehab, which then brought her to her path to Canada, where she created flow state hair design.

Her hair studio that became both her sanctuary and a place where she deepened and awakened and empowered her inner witch and held space for others to do that. And now she guides others to live in ritual and tension and inner knowing so that they no longer seek external validation and trust their own intuition, feeling in their heart.

She leads women's circles, sisterhood, , and invites you back to your home, back home to yourself, your power and your magic. You actually do work with women in group spaces in the online world, which is how I met you through a retreat that we met together.

And then you have this brick and mortar business as well that you bring so much of your own spiritual gifts into, which is just so cool. Thank you. First of all, thank you so much for having me. I absolutely love you. Your energy, your wisdom, and everything that you share into your spaces too, and meeting you in person, it was like so incredible.

So I love that. Finally, we are connecting here and yes, I feel it has been a journey of. Transitioning through my own self alchemy. Since I was very young, I have seen, I even remember saying goodbye to my imaginary friends, my spiritual guides. I remember saying goodbye to them.

And then, you know, I went through a lot of trauma and I actually, I stopped learning in school. I was saturated. I just couldn't learn. So I failed second grade and I had been with so many therapists since very young. Then later on, you know, life continued whatever, and age of 19, that's when I went to rehab.

That's when I actually learned what was meditation to, yoga, to like really tune it into my body. Mm-hmm. So through all of this transition, I have been like, navigating through my inner self and I would get like all of a sudden, sometimes even age of 27 or, and maybe, you know, Saturn return, that it is around that time that it's like, oh my God.

It felt achy. It just took me back again into doing more retreats and to really navigating through my inner alchemy. And I was always invited into, oh, I think you are a witch. Oh my God, you're so witchy. And I would be like, I mean, it sounds cool, but I don't know. And I would get invited into tarot readings and all of this stuff.

It was always inviting me, but I was never really grasping it then. Until later on that I have done a lot of mastery within myself that then I was like, okay. When I opened Flow State, I blessed it with reiki. And when I blessed it with reiki and I did a full ceremony around it, that's when my channels started opening even more.

Oh wow. Two weeks before I had done, my mom had taken me for reiki, 'cause she was learning Reiki. And two weeks later, that's when I went to rehab. So reiki has always been like my fundamental of things. Mm-hmm. Into opening me up to the next level. Yeah. I love that you're, and it makes so much sense because as a channel and having their intuition and doing the ritual and.

Really this witchy side of you with, you have mercury, your natal mercury, which is how you communicate and not just here and with between you and I, but it's also how you communicate with other dimensions. Right? And the other realms of, of our channel and receiving and yours is in the eighth house, which is a very intuitive, a very psychic house.

And also, you know, your son's there in, in Pisces, but your natal Mercury and Aries, and it really is truly about going into our own underworld, right? And like going into the darkness that we hold within ourselves, like you did through rehab, through these deeper, traumas and having those initiations, when we get to the point where we've really healed through it, it's like we initiate ourselves into like where our trauma and those wounds become our biggest sources of power and really how we lead through. And I think there's so much power in owning that part of your story for you and like just your channel and your psychic gifts, all of it, and bringing the ritual and the hair ritual.

It's so eighth house. These dark little parts that bring us into a deeper identity of who we are. Totally Aries, totally a house. , You just said something about hair because, you know, I mean, with hair, for me it was like a, a form of expression. A form of a form of communicating my art. And, and then, you know, being with people, we go so deep.

How many of, of even you listening that you have gone to your hairdresser? Oh my god. Like more me. I'm like, don't ruin my hair because I am, I just, I am so picky about my hair, but yeah. Anyway, like, like you better cut it, right? Totally. It's because it's our crown, right?

We wear it and people will start describing you by your hair is like, oh yeah, it was a tall girl with dark hair. Or she was like short, but she had braids. Oh my God. It's such a part of our identity. It's such a huge part, and sometimes we take it for granted. It's like, oh, I'm just gonna go for a haircut, or, oh yeah, my hair looks like with a lot of split ends, but it doesn't matter.

Or My roots are so long, but. And, but it's still weighing on us when it's not feeling fresh. And then when we come out of the chair, then you're like, oh my God, I feel so refreshened. But not only that, it's also when you said another really important thing is like when you sit down in the chair is like, please don't ruin my hair.

You right away, the moment you sit down in someone's chair, they're like, it's such an, not anybody is gonna come and touch your head. You know? It's such an intimate. Thing to do. You know, like if somebody touches your head, you're gonna be like, why are you touching my head? When somebody laughs at your head, it is like, Ooh, don't, don't touch me.

I think I'd definitely be like that. Even with my husband, I'd be like, why are you touching my head? When you let that guard down, when you sit down at someone's chair, you let that guard down, and then you start opening conversation and you start transiting through things and you start shedding, or you start getting activations and obviously, we do hairdressing in different levels.

Sometimes we're not conscious about it, which I was one at a point, part of it. And through the transition I realized how. Important it is to get your hair done by intention, to be conscious about it, and also when we are getting our hair done to do it because we really want it from our heart because we are conscious about what we're getting, not for the external approval and the seeking.

Mm-hmm. That you know, a lot of my clients, I love them so much because we go into, it's like, no honey, let's just get real. Like, what is it? Oh, maybe my friends will like it. I don't care about your friends. How does it really feel to you? Of what you want.

And if you are really going out into seeking that external approval, then I think there's some inner work to do, which then either you are welcome to my chair, or maybe you should go to somebody that is a little bit more superficial, because I really like having that depth. With my clients because they become much more than my clients.

We become like a full alchemy in there. And in flow state, you know, there's another girl, which she is like my, I call her my hair wife, because we have gone through all of this journey and she's also a hair witch. And you know, how we, we sustain the energy of the studio because when people cut their hands, like doing haircuts and stuff, it's like you are absorbing actually something from your client without not even knowing.

Mm-hmm. So we do do a ritual around opening the salon when we arrive. We do do a ritual into clearing the space consistently, having the mirrors energetically cleared, having the floors, and I'm getting goosebumps, you know, having the floors fully activated because all of it is sustaining us. It is a portal.

And in the studio I do have the opportunity of like, okay, well you wanna tarot reading or. Maybe you don't need a tarot reading because you are feeling skeptical, right? Because sometimes also we have to be mindful of even people, religions or beliefs but at the end, it does come to a point of like, what is it truly feeling that you need to transition through?

Because at the end, an emotion, I'll wait. Is real. Yeah. Yeah. I can think about this in the lens in my hair. In fact, that was one of the very first conversations I had with you was about the hair be, and I've had. People do not good things to my hair, and it really upsets me and it becomes like, almost now I see myself through that, right?

And if they've done so, like I even had a, because my current hairdresser had left that salon, and they never tell you where they go, right? So I went to somebody new and it was just like not a good haircut at all, and it just felt so bad. So I found her, actually found the other gal, and I said, Ugh. Like it's just, I just gotta get, I couldn't even wait.

And she got me in within like four days of this conversation. And it was like I, and then she fixed it. And yes, there's still some things that aren't laying totally right. But that's how much, like when we have, and I feel like as you're saying this, I mean, I almost just feel like, because I just know so clearly who I am, and it's like we know clearly who we are through our hair

I feel like women who are are like that about their hair are also a lot more confident. They really do know who they are and it's like, this is, no, you're never touching my hair again. Yes. I've even been in the seat before where one girl, 'cause Arkansas has been a weird play coming from the east, east and west coast is right.

Coming here was a really hard time finding anybody that could do my hair properly and I even had one girl start to cut my hair and I could just tell like how she was doing. I mean, I've like. I grew up with my mom, who was a hairdresser. Right. And I did have a dog grooming salon for about 25 years.

And even though it's different, I do know a good bit about it. And so I saw how she was starting and I was like, I just literally, I just got like, full blown, no, you can't touch my hair. And I was like, I'm so sorry. Can you just blow it out? Don't, she's like, but I can just, and like, no, don't, don't cut it.

Just blow it out. That's fine. We're good. And I love you. Honored that. And you know, unfortunately to me, like in the hair industry, I'm so sorry that you had to experience as a client that, because sometimes when the hairdresser, it is commission based. The owner of the salon has, feels it had, and to me that was a thing that it torn me in a way in my industry and slowly I started feeling I was being put in a box.

Because then now I have lost a lot of clients and then recovered some of them you know, but it's still because people are connecting with me of what I offer. But the salon has entitlement. Feels that has a ownership that then is not gonna share that, and then is like decides of what to do with the decision as you as a client for Oh, when she left, you mean When she left?

Yeah. Yeah. When she left and decides like, no, you're just gonna go to this person, and it's like this missing. There is a huge dismiss there of you as a client of like your vulnerability mm-hmm. Your, of you building a trust. And I feel we have become so unsensitive and programmed and anyways, I can go deeper into all of that, but, you know, slowly I was like, no, I, that's why for me, my space is a chair rental because I, I, I really.

Do believe that we should have that freedom of expression and we can talk to our clients. You know, it's like you can just talk to your clients. You can figure out, just be responsible of how you're running your business because at the end it is a business. Another thing that you were sharing about of like, I think it's really important that when you're not feeling comfortable of somebody touching your hair, because it's something, your intent, this is your antennas.

Like if you actually. Are walking in the streets or you are somewhere that it's overstimulated of energy or people walking by, just braid your hair, put a hat on or put it on the side because you are picking up information. This is kind of like our microfibers. It's kind of like our pineal gland, how it like grass.

It has like little microfibers and it's picking up information. That's what our hair is doing too. I wonder if that's why I like do that. I wonder if I'm like, like somehow like moderating the energy from coming in in some way.

Not that they're bad or anything, it's, but it's must be some sort as you're saying that, I'm like, maybe that is a like unconscious way of like keeping energy from penetrating into my body in a sense. That's wild. Absolutely. You know, like Inka, I do have a little bit of a hair ritual. Because it's so important to really honor our hair and I share of like why braiding it or what kind of like maybe ribbons or what kind of like other things to do around our hair to protect our feel because when we actually braid our hair or like, or, or do some ritual around it, it actually helps us even from projection.

I actually. In my Instagram I used to do a lot of little rituals, and one of them it is through hair, into burning your hair. There was, somebody that I absolutely loved in my life. She is a witch and she somehow created a projection around me and started being quite envious towards me.

Mm-hmm. And. I decided to burn my hair to reveal things Like how much hair? Oh, I just like, like tiny little bit. Oh, oh, okay. I just grab a little bit. Or even from your brush. You know, you can just, oh, okay. I mean, you can burn it or you can put it back in towards the earth, but at this time I was transmuting energy.

So I decided to cut a little bit and burn it. My cat is, I mean, I have a black cat.

And you know, she's my familiar and soon enough, as soon as it burned the hair, she started puking and she puked an elastic, and I don't allow elastics around my house. So I don't know where she grabbed this elastic, but she puked a full elastic. And soon enough other things started revealing that even I found.

I found some little tricks that she was doing around me that it just completely, she disappeared to today. She has not come around. Wow. So how did you do that? I mean, because that sounds like a really good ritual that maybe people need to be doing

but I do have it there and I'm, I think I mixed it with some herbs into that specific one, but it was, it was. Just, I was like, wow, this is so crazy. So our hair is really powerful. I used to do rituals and do burning, hair in the hair salon, but I stopped because, I got in trouble. Because like of the smoke and stuff Oh yeah.

Yeah, so now I just like really pack it and I just like give it to the client for her to take it home and then she can just do all of this. Through all of this, I started having so many realizations that I was like, okay, it is time to take my gifts online because I can't be serving everybody and I just want to have that comfortability for everybody to, to get a little bit of everything, either if it's hairdresser somewhere else that they can be.

That learning something or they can integrate their own magic. Or if it's somebody that, it's not even a hairdresser, it's like, it's human, you know? So what's, what is like a, like one of the primary hair rituals that you do like, and what, and I'm always, I have a Capricorn moon, so I'm always like. And what's the purpose like?

Right? What is, what is the outcome orientation of that ritual? Okay. So it's like when you come to a normal basis, you just want, like you're transitioning maybe right now, everybody, we are all under the pressure cooker and we are letting go of like shedding the skin from the year of the snake and you know, we're letting go of a lot of things and things that have been revealed to us.

So you come to the hair salon and you're gonna get a haircut. You know, you put the intention to that. Maybe you want to get, a reading from it into it, or it can be a reading, like a card, reading an Oracle reading a tarot reading. Maybe it is an energetic ache records because I open my records. Mm-hmm.

Um, or maybe it's something like this that you want. And then we allow that space to go through to see what is being revealed while you are gonna be getting your haircut done and letting go of it. Maybe we are gonna be activating some of the water that we're gonna be working through when we're rinsing your hair.

Maybe it's the color that you want it to be. So sometimes I use grids in order to amplify the color of it, or like I use sound into activating the color that I'm gonna be placing into your hair. Because also color has information of what you are doing. You know, I mean, even sometimes like gray hair will have information, right?

And sometimes we, it is like, oh, well we are told that it's old age and we shouldn't let the hair be seen as, but it's really wisdom. It is like the connection that you have had to your ancestors and beyond to your own connection of your own divine being. And so this is just telling you of how you have been tapping in more into your own realms.

So, you know, depending what color you wanna do, we are gonna do an activation around what maybe chara you're working on. Right? Or maybe it is that I also have a little room where I do activations in the room. Through sound and we, do activations.

My channel is through ISIS and the hors. And I just open sacred space and I do the activations of what your field is needing through through sound, through music, or through my own voice as well. And I just allow the channel to amplify that field. Then we come out of it and we activate your hair with water, whatever was revealed.

And then we come back to the chair, I smudge you through and we just let it go. And then if you have hair that you wanna take with you, you can take it, you can go for a hike with an intention, you can put it into the earth, or you can burn it into your own candle. You can burn it, in a fire ceremony.

Mm-hmm. So there's ways of how to do that transmutation to walk through it. I am like, I know my hairdresser's probably gonna think I'm crazy, but I'm gonna start asking for my hair that she cuts off every time and like bring it home with me. She's gonna be like, why? Because I'm even about how much of a releasing point that is because I do rituals in line with the astrology.

Right. We have certain point, we release during a water moon, right? And so like when the moon is in that cycle, that's when you're gonna do the releasing and start it, and then you do the fire activation, and then the air. The air for like it energy.

And then the earth to ground it and take action into it. Right? And so I think it can be really powerful and I'm just feeling about, as you were speaking, there was a couple people that come to mind, top of mind for me, and it's like, oh, I could see how this would be really powerful in just releasing their energy because of the hair being such an extension of you.

And I guess the hair too. I mean, if we think about it, is kind of like our cells releasing from our body in essence. So. Yeah, this is really cool. I'm definitely gonna do those part of my releasing rituals and bringing in, like yeah, getting rid of the junk in the trunk. Yes.

Because we wear more product when it's curly, when we want it. But at the same time, it's important that we brush our hair because like tangled hair is tangled thought. So, you know, it's like you doing a ritual around bedtime. Like, just as you do your, your face, right, you do your face ritual, doing a ritual around your hair before bedtime and really honing your energy, going through your thoughts or like doing that closure, it really allows you to navigate through your own energy

of reflection, but also holding your antennas responsible. And it could be that you have a better rest, that you feel better refreshing. Then, for example, you were talking about the moon, like that water, you can have your water bottle activated into a spray bottle and then you know that moon water that you intentioned, you can next day activate your curls with that water.

No, I love that. Especially curly hair. I don't brush my hair in between. When I brush it, it just takes out all the curl in between washes and I only wash it like once every five or six, but I'm like, I know how I could do it.

It's just like running my hands through it in essence of like getting that, you know, the energy out. I love this. And activating the water. That's 'cause I do, I put, I add water into my hair to freshen it up, you know, through the mornings and stuff. So That's amazing. I love this. Yeah. So how did you. Were you always, 'cause we just did a live, and I feel like this is really good to bring it over here a little bit around the witch one and alchemizing the witch one because clearly you are just a fucking witch.

I mean, you are a witch, right? I'm like looking at your background and your home and you're telling me like, you know, I like bright, right? And you're, you're like, no, I like the moody, I like the dark, I like the witch. My black cat. Like clearly you're, I mean, and I am too. I just, I like, I think.

There's like the dark witch, the dark moody witch, or you know, like the white Selena Witch, you know? Yeah, yeah, totally. What was it like for you bringing this all out because. A lot of people would be like, I'm not gonna do that with my hair salon. Who's gonna really buy into that?

Right. But you just did it and you're like, no, there's so many people that would I, this is what I wanna do. Was it always easy for you, or is that something you had to really lean into? Like, no, it's been like peeling the onion layer after layer after layer. You know, I feel, I mean, I'm the youngest one in my family of four and my sister is 16 years older.

14, like 16, 14, and 13 years older than me. So, you know, I grew up like in a household of a lot of, older. People. Right. So I kind of had to mature like quicker, but at the same time really finding my voice because I am the, I mean, my sister, she, she is a psychologist, and she has a Montessori system school.

So she has studied a lot of things and she has been part of, because I just had gone through a lot of my deeper wounding than my sister was the one like, oh, maybe try this therapy, maybe try this, maybe try that. So she has always been, in a way, my guide in many ways. But she's still, however, more mental at moments.

I am more like, Ooh. Yeah. Like she's more logical and you're like, yeah. In the, we were more logical. Yeah. And so, anyway, going to all of this. When I started integrating things for the studio. Obviously it was kind of like, oh, it was like my own thing. I was like doing my own rituals. I was putting like the activations around the salon.

I was doing my own things because part of the witch wound it is to not really. To live inside the closet of the witch. Mm-hmm. I did for a really long time, although I was like, oh, I can do this. Or, you know, we, we have businesses in Mexico and there was a property that was having issues because we had had gone through a lot of drug wars.

Mm-hmm. And this specific property was not being rented, was not moving at all. And so at the time my dad was alive and I was like, dad, could I please do this ritual? I promise you I can clear this space. And you know, my brothers would be like, oh my gosh, she thinks she's crazy.

Well guess what? Within three weeks that space God rented till today. Oh wow. Amazing. So I would be doing things that would feel safe enough to me to own my truth.

And if I would get somebody like, oh my gosh, she's crazy. Oh my God, it's Anna Luisa. Oh, like the crazy auntie. Because I have, I am an auntie now. Of six nieces and one nephew, but it would be like, oh, that crazy auntie. And living with this things, obviously it would wait before on me. Because in a way it wasn't being taken so seriously.

Yeah. But working through that shadow part of like really owning my truth, then it came to like, okay, I am the hair witch. And I still remember when I was like, fuck it. Oops. I was like, yeah, don't nobody cares. I was like, okay, I'm just gonna own it into Instagram. And I had changed long time ago into the hair witch.

And slowly I started offering first without charging. I started offering tarot readings and just doing it for friends, or people would ask me and I would do it like that. But then it just came to the point of like. Oh, I am sharing really valuable information.

I think I need to start charging for this. Mm-hmm. So I started really charging and, and then, you know, it was like, oh, okay, well is sound. So first I was like really understanding how I feel with sound, how I connect with it. And I was taking some trainings, but in between the trainings and feeling myself.

Really owning the medicine and optimizing it in me of what it really does for me and, and then seeing the results in my clients too. It was just a transition through, but then it all just became, I never really thought about like, oh, what are they gonna say in my, as my clients? But it did definitely change.

I would go through cycles that are moments, you know, I wasn't as busy. Because I was changing, so my clientele would be changing as well. Yeah. And there was that cycle of, of the switching around and some people would be like, oh, that's a little bit too much, or That sounds a little bit crazy, or That's a little bit too much.

But I was like, it's okay. I honor you and. And, you know, non-attachment. Yeah. And new people would come that are much more aligned to me and it would be like, I am ready to take this medicine, Anna, I'm ready to, to, and you know, sometimes people like obviously are not gonna come always like for the sound or the tarot or whatever, but just being sustained in a space of consciousness mm-hmm.

Of etiquette. They were like, I really resonate with this. And now for chair renters, because now I'm running different kind of businesses. Yeah. You know, and for some chair renters, you know, I had this girl that. She doesn't really understand all of this, but herself, she is a gorgeous unicorn pony, full of rainbows, and so magical that that is how she shares her magic.

Mm-hmm. Without not believing in the energetical part of it, but it would really amplify all of our energy because that's like the beauty of it. Now, there was another girl that her energy was denser. And she would start projecting things towards me and my business, although she wanted to do the healing.

But that was like the part of her that it would, because sometimes hairdressers would be like, oh, this sounds really fun. I want it. Yes, welcome. But when the truth starts coming, the shadow starts coming, then they're like, oh, that's a bit too much. I don't know if I am ready for that.

So, you know, it is, a beautiful space of being held with responsibility, but navigating through it, it can be really beautiful transition and music is also really important. The music that I play in my space. I remember one of my girls, she would come and she would just put like heavy metal, and I'm like, absolutely not.

I couldn't do it. Yeah. We have like our own playlist and this is a playlist and I make sure like I continuously like refresh the playlist so. We have really good music in the space and we can navigate through different, but definitely not heavy metal. Yeah, that's so cool.

And I'm just thinking about that witch wound energy of your, the gal that you had, that her energy was denser and she really, I mean, she saw herself in you. Right. And this is how a lot of that happens is like people will see themselves or. People will be jealous of you and your gifts.

And it is just unfortunate and it is, it is sad that there are women that are still in that deep like that, that that part of the witch wound, right. Because that is their own witch ruined, right? And when you are really good and you're very, very integrated in your gifts and you're very powerful, like naturally powerful, I mean anybody with a son in the eighth house like yourself, a Mercury in the eighth house, I have Pluto on my ascendant, which is a very psychic placement, and it just naturally, it's like.

You have a bullshit radar, and it's not that I want to be like that and walk into rooms like that. I don't, but people I hear all the time, like it's like, and people you can tell, like it just takes them a minute to get to know me because I also am just like, you know, I feel that it's not that I'm unconsciously reading people, it's just I sense it right away and I know who's real and who's not.

And I used to let people in as we discussed, that I knew right away and I didn't trust that gut feeling. And now I've just learned like that initial feeling I ever have about anybody is their truth. And that is when I go back time and time again, and even when I'll be like, oh, just give 'em another chance, like maybe blah, blah blah.

And it's like. I'm just saying like getting to know, like opening up the conversations, the dialogue or something like that. And it's like, yeah, no, that, that really is the truth. Right? And that can be very intimidating and I feel like for somebody in your energy as well, because you are so.

You really are confident in who you are. You know, like I shared with you my first time meeting you at the retreat was on a break at, and it wasn't like a, it was a business retreat, right? And there you are dancing in your yellow dress just in the middle of the grass in the yard.

And nobody else was dancing, but you like, you were just like there dancing. Spinning in your element looking like a, a witchy fairy. Right. And there you were. And I was like, oh, I love her. Like I got a video and I was like, this girl is so cool. I love that she's doing this like so unapologetically. But you know, there would be women that would get triggered by that.

You know, they get triggered by our confidence and I feel like where that happens for me is more people, they think I'm actually kind of hard, right? At like a hard edge. And it's like, I'm actually not, I just, I'm very discerning. And so I just, when you come into my world, it's like you're in my world for a reason.

Because when people come into my world, my. Fucking heart explodes for them. I am like, I am such a loyal human being and I just love the people that come into my world, and I've had to learn through experience of a lot of those sister wounds and witch wounds of not everybody is deserving of Rachel's energy, and that's okay.

It doesn't mean I'm better. I'm not trying to say I'm better. It's just like. I had this feeling of like, everybody should, like, we should all be together. And now it's just not quite that way. And I think that, you know, people who aren't as integrated in themselves don't know how to approach somebody's energy like yourself or like myself,

I had one girl say, you know, it's kind of like cutting through glass with you. And I was like really interesting because nobody that really like when they know me, like when they actually see me and take a moment and see me, you can see I am a big hearted. Just vulnerable. Like, I, like, you know, I'm just here.

Right? Yeah. And so I feel like that is such a, a, a sneaky way that people don't realize how that witch wound impacts them. And it's not to shame anybody. If you see yourself on the other side of like, right, like. This is the trigger, and there were times where, I mean, full transparency. I was like that. And I had to see myself also and witness myself in that shadow of when I felt that way, you know, earlier on it would be more jealousy, then it progressed to envy, and then the envy would be like.

Well, I feel like this because she's showing me a part of me, you know, she's showing me a part of me that I'm hiding and that I'm not willing to step into and accelerate. And it's like, when we can actually look at it from that perspective, we can diffuse envy like this. And just be like, it's not that you have to start working with a person or anything, it's just like they're mirroring back to you, a part of you that you really are hiding and because you're afraid to show up in that part that you haven't yet integrated or the gifts that you're hiding that you're afraid to show up in or whatever that is,

it's like as soon as you alchemize that there's people study it, you don't even. You're not intimidated, right? You're not silencing yourself or thinking about the perfect thing to say, or you know, trying to find the perfect words or the perfect anything. You just, are you, yeah. And then people can really feel you.

It's like that girl, she saw what she wanted, who she saw a part, not what she wanted. She saw a part of herself and you that she had not yet integrated and she was hiding. Or, you know, and which makes it appear like you are more gifted when it's not, that you're just more integrated in it.

Right. Yeah. And you know, it's really interesting too because like, you know, I, I am like the boss, the boss, or like the leader of the space. And then because it is not a traditional hair salon, it's not, it's not a, it is not even a hair salon, you know, it's, it's like. It's a temple. It's a temple. It's flow state, it's flow state, it's flow state.

Yes, exactly. Let's be in flow state. So you know of like when I am observing because, on top of it, like being a projector and on top of it, like in my genies, I'm a 22. So it is like this, like the one that brings the message from up to down and then give you that download. Like, as you said, it is like the intuition is just, like it's there.

So I can give you the whole map of what I am seeing. Mm-hmm. So, you know, and unfortunately, or fortunately, I'm gonna be seeing also the wound. Yeah. And sometimes when I'm in a meeting of business, it's like, well I think, you know, if you really could consulate this or like really work through this and all of this.

Things that I have integrated in myself, then I can share it. And it's just hard because like I was telling my brother, oh, I'm seeing, and my brother is like. Okay. You can just go into personal life and like, and I was like, I get it for a specific way, but if I am really honoring my business in this way, this is the way I wanna lead.

Yeah. And this is the way I wanna sustain my space into that safety. I understand when you're showing the shadow, you can be putting a little bit of lemon into that wound that we were talking about. And I feel like, you know, with that, when you are somebody that is really gifted, it's just a natural thing that you will see that.

And it's not that I don't wanna sit back and analyze people. It's actually, when it starts to show up, I just see it and I'm like, yeah, you see it, and that's fine and that's cool and you know, just let it go because it's like you do see things. Really quickly in this way, and I think for anybody listening, if you have a really strong Pluto, like next to your ascendant, next to your moon in the eighth house, you have planets like Anna in in her eighth house, her mercury, her son.

These are very highly psychic placements, and they're also really intimidating. A moon in Scorpio, a Scorpio rising, or any aspect of Pluto in your moon in general, right? It's like you are going to have this very intimidating energy that is going to come off that way. But it's not that you're here to intimidate, it's just that you do see through BS really quickly or you see the shadow or you see where somebody is really in that performative energy in essence, and you can, see the truth.

And so, you know, sometimes I think that that can get twisted by other people of like, you are the one that is. Callous or it's like cutting through glass. Well, maybe it's like cutting through glass. Because I see who you really are right now in your evolution, and that's not an energy I choose to bring into my heart.

Can I exist and be near you and be around you? Yes, when we have to, but that doesn't get to penetrate my. My field. Right? And so I feel like people just need to own that and own that. If you are seeing that and people are gonna say whatever they wanna say about that, and eventually you'll just stop attracting people that are like that altogether.

Like, it's like, it's like, this is really hard because like I, it then they're like, oh, you are, you're manipulating this and it's like, no, it's, it's not manipulation. It's like pure honesty, but it's okay. It just comes like, what does your heart truly desire? Yeah. Because I am not here to make war.

I'm here to make love. So like, you know, let's just like speak about spoken like a truly Libra moon. I love it. So, you know, let's just make it simple and let's just like get on with it. And if it doesn't resonate, it's okay. It doesn't have to resonate. Yeah. I love this. I'm so curious. Before we like kinda wrap this up in your, in your astrology right now, you are currently going through some pretty big transits and I'm gonna share my screen with you so that you can see what I'm talking about and I just wanna.

You know, for anybody listening you won't be able to see the video. Well, you might, because I might be putting this on YouTube. I haven't fully decided, but, so I'm looking at all this Scorpio energy happening in your fourth house, and I'm thinking about even the rituals that you did that cleared houses, right?

You have, you can't see underneath this, but you have Saturn and Scorpio and yourself not in Scorpio and the fourth house. So like Saturn. You know, a lot of people with Saturn, Scorpio, Saturn, they tend to hide more of that witchy. Woo. Because it's not practical, it doesn't make practical sense.

But what I love is that you use it to clear spaces. You're like, perfect use of Saturn energy. I'm gonna clear space in this house to get it rented to make money. That's Saturn, right? So using your witchy stuff to create. A goal, an end result. And I'm just curious 'cause you have right now Black Moon Lilith, who is sort of She is.

You know that one of the. Darker feminine archetypes in the sky here with Venus both sitting on your Saturn. That in Saturn, again, it's the big daddy. It's practical. It's pragmatic. It's like where do we wanna be responsible? But yours isn't Scorpio and it really is like a truth, like piercing truth.

I'm just wondering if there's anything happening for you that feels like. An unleashing, maybe like this a lot more of, well, I'm gonna use the word like feral, like a more feral side of you getting ready to be birthed. That feels like it's been behind the scenes, tucked away in your home because fourth house is the home and it's, and, but Saturn's gonna be like, but you've gotta do something with this.

I'm just curious if anything's come up for you around that. Oh my god. Okay. So yes, there has been definitely. Under the pressure cooker to its potency. And yes, I mean, clearing homes like recently I did a very big clearing in this home because we just moved in like around a year ago. Um, so, uh. I mean, I can't go too deep in because it involves my partner.

Yeah, yeah. No, we don't wanna expose it, you know, so I'm not gonna like really go really deep in, but there has been really interesting things happening within the home, and I am disturbing. This is a rental. So I have been disturbing in a good way, but I've been disturbing a little bit and putting uncomfortable the entities around this house.

So there has been a lot of shifts happening, but at the same time, I still stand very strong, but I know where I am moving and I'm still going in. And the going in it doesn't mean it's easy. It's comfortable. It's like it's really ripping me into places that I'm like, no, I am still standing in here.

And, you know, my partner had had a dream of like, oh my God, I dreamed that there was, demonic entity on the top of of this house, on a house that he had gone. But I called you so you can deal with it. And soon enough, a lot of things started kind of like shifting through.

And so, yes, I have been definitely transitioning through even so, like on Tamia Bruja, as I said, it's my eight week journey I have right now. I was gonna initiate it on the 8th of November. And I am about to announce new days because I was definitely shifted through. I actually was sick in bed with bronchitis, moving through and alchemizing it all.

And yeah, there has been other things kind of shifting through my business that is like, okay, let's just like navigate through it in this way in order for things to like stand through. But I am not moving away from my truth. I'm standing stronger, even more in my truth. Within my magic and within my power.

But really saying truth to my heart because that is like, and whatever needs to be, and even RI was like, oh my God. There is like. Because every day in our, our ritual, we do like morning readings, right? And with our coffee, and that's part of like how we start our day. He's like, holy smokes. There's so much like letting go.

And right now he's like, I don't wanna do readings in the morning. I just don't wanna go there. And I'm like, no, no, no. Well you don't, don't do them. I will. Because for me it's revealing. But then he's like, oh, tell me what is, and I was like, well, this is what it's talking. And then here we go again into like.

A path of like opening these deep conversations that are very deep and profound and dark and beautiful. And it has to do with the reorganization of energy in your home too, right? And maybe like, yeah, that part of you that. You no longer wanna hide from him or whoever, right? It's like this is what it is.

And the interesting thing too is where Neptune is at, at the last degree of Pisces, 29, 29 degrees is like a very antic degree. So it's like full culmination of this PISCES cycle. You'll never see it again in your lifetime. Again in your eighth house and it's feeding more energy here. This blue line is a rine, which is a positive flow of energy, but I feel like what this is doing, you are getting a deepening of gifts and it would make so much sense that one, this being in the eighth house and this it hitting your, your Saturn.

Like the entity work. I mean, I could just see that being such a big part of what comes forward for you as well. Like literally removing entities from people's homes and having that as sacred ritual because you know that that's real. And you know, people listening, I have talked about this. Multiple times about darker energies and what exists.

And it is no joke that, I mean, I've had entities clinging onto me and I know when they're doing it, we're not immune to this. Nobody is immune to this. And I think this is like your next iteration almost.

Like part of you that the world wasn't ready for yet and now you've been moving through it and the world is getting ready for it. Right. It's the innovation. This is the shit nobody's touched yet, right? It's. The things that people haven't come out and, and really talked about. There are people that talk about entities, but it's been talked about in a very, like, you know, low vibrational way.

Whereas like, you know, there are entities that can be really helpful to us and there's energies in that that. They're with us for a reason and so we have to really look at ourselves and exposing again, that shadow or what is there, so I can, I can kind of like sort of sift through like the lines without exposing too much, but I feel like that's.

It's gonna be really interesting to see, because, it makes sense that your program would be put on halt. But it's going to move forward now because you have Mars, which is will and action sitting on your natal Uranus, and it's gonna get into your fifth house. So the timing is actually better for you.

Uranus is like taking action on something that. You've been getting, you know, down downloads around, and so probably your, the Bruja program just wasn't in full form yet, and it's going to actually have another layer form coming in for you that it's like, oh, this is what this is.

Yeah. Yeah. And I love that you're sh thank you so much. Because it's such a huge confirmation of, and I feel proud. I, I'll have to say, like I'll give a pat to myself for really listening to that, to that, because I was like, no, it's not really, I know I was saying for November 8th, but it is, it's not quite there yet, and mm-hmm.

Everything that I do, I truly do it from my heart that it has to feel. True. And that's why Flow State was born the way flow state is and mm-hmm. And everything that I have been sharing of like at moments, I might pause and at moments because I do go under my own rhythm to really make sure that I feel really connected because that's when I really create that magic into.

Wow. That is like, so on point. So amazing. Thank you. I was like, I gotta know how this is playing out in her life right now, because this is a pretty big transit and that makes sense why I'm alive. You said what you felt since early October because Black Moon Lilith has been in those degrees for you since then.

And then you've got the bigger push of the retrograde, which was all in Scorpio and All right there, so. It really opened it up, you know, and, good news is, okay, good. You're kind of outta that, right? Like, it's like now. Yeah, let's go. It did feel a little bit clearer, I think, around November 23rd, 22nd, that I was like, Ooh, okay.

Yeah. Okay. It feels better because it was like real, I was really feeling it for a moment. And you know, I mean the beauty sometimes in being this dark, in this darkness and this like pressure and this like the diamond is being formed, so I really connect. With like, I visualize my diamond inside me really being like polished

and really being beautiful. But to me, you know, there's nothing bigger than prayer. So I really go into prayer mode and I really go into, Christ embodiment, in my case a really alchemizing it through me. And just putting it into faith and allowing to move through that. Because if there's anybody listening that could be moving through things like, you know, it's, it's okay to,

it's beautiful when we really feel this. Darker forces moving through and you know, that's when the witchery really happens. And so at moments, you know, it feels like tight, but at the same time it's like, Ooh, okay. Spicy time. Yeah. Well you are meant to be in that process. It's a big part of your journey and you know, to be, and like, I mean, why your house is so dark, why everything is so dark.

'cause that's a big part. It's in your chart, you know, you have these eighth house energies and that's just. That is what you came here to do, is to move through that and transform that, right, and be in that rebirth process. And like you said, the emergence is the diamond and it's amazing.

This has been such a fun conversation and just, I just love hearing you talk and like the way that you speak in it. Is that true artistry? What we didn't even get to share with, because we've become really good friends behind the scenes, is like, you are an artist and you are into home decor and all of these things are the hair, the work of art.

You have a Taurus North node, a Taurus Midheaven, which is all about that beauty and artistry in the body, right, of like creating that from the body forward and then having your Libra moon again, alchemizing energy and bringing more of that artistry into visual like creation and healing. The deeper, you know, self-worth, like the self value, self-concept through all this.

And I think it's just so fun for me to see when I get to see your chart. 'cause this is the first time I've actually had my eyes on it. Believe it or not, y'all, I'm an astrologer, but I don't go around asking people for their charts. So it's really fun for me to see the full expression of so much.

Also just to experience your depth in a more intimate setting to where I really got to sit with you and hear about your journey and what it is that you really do with the hair and the ritual. And just where you've, where you've been, where you're going, and you know, you're just a beautiful person.

I'm so grateful to have you in my world. I'm so grateful to be here with you, to have you in my world too. Thank you so much. I'm so, so happy. And, thank you for my reading. That was just a full confirmation of, of like, whoa, that make. Total sense. Thank you so much my love.

And yeah, your energy is just like, always has been like it. When we, I remember connecting us in the kitchen and we were like, oh, for me, that was my moment when I really connected with you in the kitchen that we were having. Having really delicious tacos and, it was in Calgary conversation. In Calgary.

Yeah. Oh, well, thank you so much. I'll have all your links here in the bio for anybody that wants to go and connect with Anna Louisa. She is on Instagram. All of her links are below, if you are interested in her and, awakening the Bruja. Right? Did I say it or? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, it, yes. Yes on taming.
