A New Chapter Begins

It has been a few years since I last posted or shared regular updates.

I will take some new pictures soon, but most recently I made some AI images:

When you step away from social media for an extended period, life doesn't stop; the focus simply shifts. Over the past few years, the work moved deeper behind the scenes: refining formulas, building out physical crafts, and immersing myself in the study of ancient wisdom and analytical traditions.

As an INFJ, my natural inclination is to observe, synthesize underlying patterns, and process quietly before bringing anything into the world. Now feels like the right moment to open the door and reconnect.

What to Expect Moving Forward

This space is returning to serve as a central hub for sharing practical crafts, project updates, and applied methods:

Artisan Craft & Formulations: Behind-the-scenes looks into physical batch creation—from cold-process soap making, candles, and incense to historical remedies, botanical oils, and ancient recipes.
Applied Sojourns & Symbolism: Exploring how concepts like Edgar Cayce’s planetary sojourns—the idea of non-physical realms imprinting specific traits on soul evolution—translate practically into creative intention, product formulation, and daily practice.
Projects & Innovations: Updates on new developments, batch previews, shop updates, and upcoming releases.

Foundations of Study

Behind the tangible work is an ongoing commitment to personal research and foundational study. Current focus areas that inform the craft include:

Manly P. Hall & Comparative Symbolism: Studying classical works on secret teachings, comparative mythology, and how ancient esoteric traditions map onto physical artistry.
Jungian Psychology: Researching Carl Jung’s frameworks—archetypes, shadow work, and psychological alchemy—as a lens for personal development and internal transformation.

Why the Return?

Having a dedicated space to document real-world work, share practical knowledge, and build a genuine community remains essential. Whether you’ve been following along from the beginning or are just discovering the #VanKushFamily, thank you for being here.

Stay tuned for regular updates and upcoming project announcements.
