Born Planetary Day of Mercury ☿

Hour of the Moon ☽

North Node ♓︎

I have always been a mystic, earth poet, and dreamer; dancing beneath the stars, while listening to nature is part of my lineage as a hereditary folk witch.

Born in Australia, I spent my childhood growing up in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and my most cherished memories are of snow-capped mountains and walking the old, indigenous tracks down to the sea.

Through years of travel across distant lands, my greatest gifts were gathered by studying Western folk witchcraft, earth healing, ritual arts, and oracular divination traditions rooted in the old ways. However, it was through a personal crisis of immense grief and loss, I discovered transpersonal astrology as a potent tool for psychological healing, spiritual emergence and deep soul remembrance.

Over the next decade I experienced vivid, healing dreams and magickal synchronicities. I was guided by Indigenous Elders and old cunning folk, whose teachings rekindled a sense of purpose within my weary soul. Their guidance opened profound visions, intuitive insight, and sacred practices that I now share through transpersonal astrology, dream landscapes and archetypal symbolism.

Professional Credentials:

2011 - Completed Diploma in Astrology (3-year training) with Babula Clement, Aust.

2016 - Completed Adv. Diploma in Transpersonal Counselling with IKON Institute, Aust.

2024 - Current undergraduate LTU BA Major Cultural Anthropology & Sociology

As a menopausal traditional witch, I offer guidance through astrology, dreamwork, mythology, ancestral healing and transpersonal practices. These sessions are designed to support those navigating life transitions and the call toward deeper meaning. I have also continued professional development in transpersonal dream work, spiritual crisis & emergence, astro-herbalism, somatic training and trauma-informed practices.

I have returned full circle to live on a sacred mountain in Wangerriburra Country, Australia. I spend my days walking the ancient rainforest, while continuing further academic studies in cultural anthropology, transpersonal dream practices and ethnobotany. I still travel back to my ancestral homeland of England and blend the mystical arts with the lore of the land, which adds symbolic inheritance and identity to my place of belonging.

Some of you may have known me previously as Mikailah Rachael and may have wondered about my recent name change. In 2024, I returned to my birth name, Rachael, in alignment with a profound period of soul retrieval and homecoming. This marked a sacred threshold in my life and a meaningful evolution in both my personal journey and dream work.

So beautiful, cunning folk, I am grateful that you allowed me to spend a brief time in your world today. I invite you to go far down into your star chart to reach the celestial branches above.

Much love from the deep, wild woods... Rachael (formerly Mikailah) x
