As usual, If you would like to participate please respond to this post or email. If there is anything specific you would like me to work with, please let…

Hi!

Last week the secret message was about what was present but unseen. This week it is about what is revealing itself to you. Revelations often show themselves in unexpected ways…as clues, as metaphors, as seemingly insignificant repetitions. We get to be on the lookout and hopefully, I can help you find what is asking to be seen.

If you want to know …

Hi,

I love the idea of the new moon because even though the sky is dark, the moon is there as it always is, just not available to our view.
In honor of the new moon that was this past week, today’s secret message is about what is there but has not yet been seen (or perhaps, has been seen but cannot be at this moment).
If you would like to know what I s…

Hello!

It is secret messages time. This week, we look back to the past to see what clue it might hold for us that could be helpful for the moment at hand or things to come in the future. If you would like to know what I see, comment or email and I will get back to you ASAP.

With love and fire~

Guiding words for the year have rarely called to me. Instead, every so often, I ponder what quality I would like to embrace and embody…then I play with that for a spell. That is what I offer you today…a quality to explore, embrace and embody. If you would like to know what I see for you, comment or respond!

Full Moon Clearing

Jo Anna Dane — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 13:54:14 GMT

Hi!

Last week, I had a pretty little email letting you know that due to having guests in town, I was going to push secret messages back so that we would have two this this week. Then, I managed to save it as a draft and not send it as an email. Whoops. I am sorry for the error…and we will still be having 2 secret messages this week.

The full moon is on …

I have been musing on muses…and what we can do to court ours. Nourish ours. Hear ours. If you would like to know what your muse might need to offer you the spark you desire, let me know. You can reply to the email or post in the comments. I’ll respond as soon as I am able. I’ll be checking in and answering emails over the weekend…of which, I hope you …

Let’s do some intuitive readings!
If you have a question, please ask it…you can ask in the comments of this post or respond to the email. If you don’t have a question, that is ok. I will simply offer the message that comes forward.

Whatever your question is, let it be clear.
Ask what you truly want to know.
The answer to “what do I need to know” is, most…

Full Moon Clearing

Hi!

This month’s full moon snuck up on me. Surprise…it’s tonight!
I will be holding a clearing tonight and then will do clearings each night this week in case folks don’t see this until later. The secret message that goes along with your clearing will come in the form of a question. I will give those out the following morning.

As usual, If you would l…

Today is a day for answers, though not to a question that you have asked. Or at least, not one that you have asked of me.
Think of this as an answer that perhaps you don’t know you need to a question not yet spoke.

If you would like the answer I have for you, please respond to this post in the comments or by email. I will respond as soon as I am able (…

Hi!

I often think about what waits for me in the stillness…because when I give myself over, there is often a treasure to be found.

Lately, I’ve been wondering about what can be found in the chaos…what gifts and wonders await in the mighty swirling energy that often grabs us when we least suspect it. Or least want it. There are marvels waiting, if we are…

A proper reformation

Jo Anna Dane — Fri, 08 May 2026 16:19:49 GMT

A proper reformation begins at the end and nowhere else.
No matter what they tell you. No matter what you have been told. It can not be prophesied where one finds the end of the string that must be pulled.
You can only trace the slack, following it round the edge of the void until it makes itself known, at a time of its knowing. It is there and right there alone that you will be able to grab hold of what once seemed only a dream.

Because a proper reformation requires an undoing.
Many choose to proceed with caution. With care. Pulling slowly. Gently. As if reverence and fear will curry the favor of gods most fickle.
Some will approach with abandon. Grabbing for what they hope is the answer before realizing it is simply another question that will be asked, regardless of how quickly they fall into pieces.

Because a proper reformation is not to be controlled by will or wiles.
You will spin out beyond the edges, losing all sense of yourself as centrifugal force breaks and holds in equal measure. You will forget that once upon a time you were made up of worlds. Or words. Of stories woven into a form you grew to recognize as home.

Because a proper reformation will turn you to dust.
And you will find yourself floating in the air. Light and as close to the ethers as could ever be. Carried by the breath of a wish made before time forced its hand upon the world. Where nothing can be tangled because nothing is all there is except for the gravity of the desire that led you down the path to begin with.

Because a proper reformation will wrench you back down to earth.
Not caring for your comfort or your plans. Not needing your permission either. You will be pulled down into a darkness so unfathomable that it soothes an ache you forgot was not essential to the very beating of your heart. And everything you have ever been will fold in upon itself before finding form in a seed that holds the weight of the world in its possibilities.

Because a proper reformation will show you everything that matters.
While you wait. While you choose. Until there is nothing left for you to do but break open and rise into being. Again. Again. Again.

Because a proper reformation will give you exactly what you need. Yourself.

With love and fire~

It’s been a very dry spring here in Asheville as we experience a severe drought. But over past few days we have had some desperately needed rain. It always amazes me how quickly the earth comes alive after a storm and I began to wonder what I might need to water, so that it can too come alive again. I wonder what that might be for you. If you would li…

Full Moon Clearing

Jo Anna Dane — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 20:44:21 GMT

The moon will be full on May 1st and in it’s honor, there will be a full moon clearing. To participate in the clearing all you have to do is comment on this post or respond to this email and say yes.

As always, My full moon clearings are a free experience that I do for anyone who would like to participate. They are an opportunity to heal, clear and shift anything that might feel tangled, stuck or simply ready for what is next.

I work with each person’s energy individually.
And the group as a whole.

These are general clearings…meaning I don’t work with anything specific in this forum (unless you are a paid subscriber, more on that below!)…but they are powerful nevertheless.

The clearing will take place on May 1st at 10pm Eastern.

With love and fire~
Jo Anna

P.S.

Each week paid Substack subscribers receive a secret message. This coming week, in addition to being able to receive clearings around specific things, subscribers will get a message from the clearing.
If you are interested in becoming a paid subscriber, it is $7 a month. You can click the button below to sign up. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
