About the Company

A Little Backstory

I started this business with no idea what I was doing. I googled everything. I filled out the forms, floundered with choosing a name, finally picked something, and decided on a whim to get it trademarked. Uhhh -- Me, an ADHD-anxious-depressed-OCD, damn-near-agoraphobic stay-at-home mom-- I'm just going to start a business...

​

After months of exploring options and failing to really connect with what I was looking for, I finally talked with my best witches to gain insight and brainstorm. I reached out many times through this back-&-forth, trying to gain traction. After returning from a truly horrible vacation, I quickly realized that I didn't want to do this alone. I reached out to my witches about this and received overwhelming understanding, love, and support. We were flooded with so many unique ideas. We started talking about all the things we wanted to create. Being as ADHD as I am, my brain became pretty scrambled. Still, I'm learning to give it some time to bring things together instead of forcing it into a box or timeframe.

Then I came to a screeching halt when family needed us to take in 4 kids for a week. So with 8 children in the house and 7 of them toddlers, I was a bit preoccupied. 1 week turned into 3 weeks, and nothing went back to the way it was. I'd been offered so much perspective on my spirituality, mental health, parenting style, and my own children in general after they were able to go back home.

All of this happened while I reconnected with a previously very close friend after 4 years of no contact due to a shit show of a situation. Our children now share a father, much to their excitement. Shadow work, therapy, and more shadow work. And still, more to come. It was not an easy reconnection. Trust was limited. However, our cautious reconnection brought us so much relief and peace. It felt so good to feel like I no longer needed a certain level of discretion in my life. All I have ever wanted is all of my children to grow into happy, healthy, stable, and loving individuals who accept themselves and the world around them within reason to their own boundaries.

​

Fast-forward, and I find myself going through the worst breakup of my life. It's been one of the most challenging processes I have ever gone through, and I know it isn't over. I'm discovering things about myself that I don't like. Still, I am learning to address myself with compassion vs. the voice of judgment that many others are so quick to use. I'm learning that I am genuinely not alone and that I am loveable just as I am. That it's not my job to face other's demons for them. It just doesn't work. I learned that the love I have to give is absolutely enough. It's not my job to accept my love for another person. I realize now that I have a hell of a support system, no matter how much I feel like a burden. I learned that if I disappear, my witches will rally and find me no matter what. That they will be forgiving of my oddities that others call dramatic. They see the authentic me and celebrate it. They will hold space for me to be ALL of who I am. I could not have asked for better friends. I am so profoundly grateful for my chosen family, my unofficial coven.

Luna Somnium is clearly about unity, community, self-love, and empowerment. It's what our village is supposed to be. The most important of foundations to build, and I had all but addressed it head-on! No wonder everything felt crumbly at first. Some lessons need to be learned before we can proceed to the next phase. It isn't easy. I don't think it was ever designed to be. Otherwise, where is the value?

I want Luna Somnium to grow organically through community, love, support, and acceptance. This is absolutely a judgment-free space. Luna Somnium is all-inclusive and supportive of everyone's spiritual journey. I want to help answer the hard questions. The ones you that you can't Google. Questions that have answers that require a specific wisdom only gained through experience and a hunger for learning. The kind that can only be offered through complete truth and transparency. If I don't have the answers, I am dedicated to finding them and learning with you.
