About us
Jeanette Chaky Peters
I am Jeanette Chaky Peters - Master Tarot Reader, Goddess Expert, Astrologer and Intuitive or what I like to say a "Mystical Alchemist." As a child I experienced a strong connection to the energy of the Divine Feminine. Growing up I attended catholic grade school and in those early years I learned about Mother Mary and her divine presence. This was the beginning of my journey into the Goddess and the start of a life’s devotion of honoring “The Divine Mother,” in all her forms. What I have come to understand over the years is that The Divine Mother shows up in many ways. She is one but she is also all; she isn’t contained in a box. I like to think of her as a diamond that has multiple sparkling facets. Sometimes she comes to me as the Goddess Diana and other times it could be the Goddess Kali. What is important to know is that she speaks to us in the way that we are willing to hear her message.
Elijah Garcia
My name is Elijah and I'm an Intuitive, Goddess Oracle and Jungian Life Coach! My journey with Goddess began early on when I went through my own mythological "descent," in which I struggled severely with my mental health. I had an experience with the Goddess Isis and the profound love, nurturance and radical acceptance I felt from Her created a strong bond, one that followed me until I gave it the reverence and time that was asked from me. Yet it was a bond that felt more like a remembrance. A coming home. Over time I discovered various forms or archetypal manifestations of the Great Mother, seeing that certain aspects of her became more active at various points in my life as well as the seasonal times of the year. I then became intrigued with Her Herstory and realized the incredible "forgetting" that resulted in the androcratic worldview we see today and the severe split we have from each other and nature. It is my belief that as we remember the sacred feminine, we encourage a new story and worldview to emerge, one that can guide us into a more desirable and egalitarian future.
The Goddess
Simply put a/the Goddess is a divine being presiding in a “feminine” form. She is the ultimate source bringer of life and has/is worshiped as the principle deity in many faiths. The honoring of the Goddess is found in many early civilizations as a way of life that was intimate and in concert with natural rhythms of the Earth. The Goddess is like a diamond made up of a thousand different facets.
