Today we’d like to introduce you to Lyndsi Falcon.
Hi Lyndsi, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Mine is a Cinderella story full of magick and transformation. My younger years were hard as there was a lot of stress in the home. Mostly common stuff concerning the hustle and bustle of life but heavy none the less. Everyone was basically walking on eggshells waiting for the next struggle to arise. It was a nervous system nightmare. I was a daydreamer though so as a kid, for me, there was nothing a little optimism and whimsy couldn’t fix. To escape daily life I’d often find myself playing pokemon, drawing fairies, or writing poems. The magick and romanticism available to me in these fairy tale worlds kept my spirits elevated and bright. As I began “real” life out on my own the struggles of being a soft lover girl living in a hard material world began to take a toll on my health physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I worked as a housekeeper for quite a few years, helping to provide and care for my family of 4. I even made a successful business of my own out of it at one point but anyone who has done this type of work knows it is hard on the body and the spirit. Hospitality was something I excelled in plus the money offered my family more security so I overstayed my welcome in the industry despite knowing it drained me. Long story short I burnt myself out and became physically ill living in this overdrive survival mode state of being and my one saving grace, whimsy, had been scrubbed clean from my life. I didn’t know any better and I was taught that exhaustingly hard work is just what it takes to survive in this world. Though I was able to mask up and face my hardships by putting on my brave face, I knew I needed to exist in a much softer reality than the one I had created for myself. I hadn’t made any room in my life for the things I loved most and I couldn’t keep up with the harsh demands of the life I was living without them anymore. After the celestial guidance of my first Saturn return, and quite a few synchronistic events later, I was divinely led back to a life full of childlike wonderment. At my lowest point in life I swear I literally met my fairy god mother and she woke me up out of this deep sleeping spell that had left me feeling powerless. She inspired me to begin studying various forms of spirituality, energy work, and magickal folklore, helping me to remember these forgotten truths that resonated with me so shockingly it felt like they gave me new life. From this spark of life my little shop Tarot, Tea, and Astrology was born where I now craft magickal teas and ritual tools, and provide heart led energy work services to those like me who are in need of some whimsy and softness too. I am blessed to have the love and support of all my family, my husband, and my spirit guides on my journey, and I am so grateful for all the healing we have done together. This year makes 4 years now that I have been working out of my shop and the only house I clean is mine, softly, slowly, intentionally, and peacefully in love with life as I go. It is the romantic fairy tale life I always dreamed of.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Most of the struggles I face have to do with being a black sheep. I am an observer with pattern recognition and so anytime I would see a pattern that didn’t make sense to me I would have to break out of it even if what I wanted didn’t make sense to everyone else. This often had me feeling like the odd one out and I didn’t really feel safe in social situations because I had become the outcast so many times. After a while of this I actually started to believe there was something wrong with me even though I was only trying to follow my heart. What was working for everyone else wasn’t going to work for me and I thought I was a failure because of it. I wanted to live in this soft, slow paced, whimsical world and everyone around me was telling me to get real. Grow up. Life is hard. Eventually I gave in to this psychological warfare I was facing, masked up, and conformed to a way of life I didn’t believe in just to get by. I got caught up in the daily hustle and bustle of survival mode. I worked a job that drained me on all levels until I was physically sick and burnt out because that is what society told me I had to do to survive. I was stressed, my body was sick, and despite working my fingers to the bone I was still struggling financially too. Forced into a period of recovery I spent some time dealing with depression and mental health issues on top of my physical illness until I eventually developed the skills through spiritual practice that I needed to overcome all the negativity and limitations I had endured in my lifetime. I’ve experienced and overcome struggles of all kinds, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, all rooted in the same issues of low self worth and being outcast from the crowd. Recovering from all of this and going from living a life of conformity and depletion to living an expressive and fulfilling life is hard work. Leaving behind thought patterns and old ways of life that kept me safe before feels scary and uncertain so I’ve had to learn to feel a lot of fear and keep going anyways. The things I have to continuously learn to let go of in order to live a slower paced romantic life I want to live are things I learned had to be done in order to survive. My nervous system literally reacted with life or death responses to these changes at first. Now after some practice I adapt to change with a more confident and brave approach than I ever would have before and the idea of not fitting in is a bit less scary these days too. Listening to our inner guidance systems and living in alignment with them is easier said than done due to the conditioning we all face in our early lives. It really can feel impossible and scary at times but the rewards of trusting your higher self are worth it.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Tarot, Tea, and Astrology?
Tarot, Tea, and Astrology has really become a safe space for long lasting healing to take place for myself and others. A place where I can build a career that helps me thrive on all levels so that I can take care of myself and my loved ones in a healthy and sustainable way. We always have everything we need and I’ve learned to trust in my ability to live life at a slow and steady pace because of it. It started as a Gift and Tea shop where I would read tarot, blend tea herbs with unique intentions for my customers, and sell my crafts. It is still all of those things and at the same time it is this living, breathing, magickal healer in its own right. I’ve often had customers walk in and say how great the energy feels in the space and for me this is the best compliment of all. I think this is the thing I am most proud of too. The offerings at Tarot, Tea, and Astrology all come from the heart and are created from my own personal spiritual healing experiences. I bring tools and services to the table that have helped me overcome some of the darkest times in my life. I can’t imagine where I would be without these spiritual healing practices I’ve learned and I know that they can help empower people who feel lost in life like they did for me. In the shop you will find handcrafted teas, candles, and essential oils that have all been created with healing intention. I work with the spirits of the herbs that are infused into these blends to activate the plant’s healing energies and create tools to work with our nature spirit allies in tangible form. I am also an Empathic Energy Guide, a Tarot Reader, a Certified Drum Circle Facilitator, and a Certified Crystal Healing Practitioner. I combine the spiritual healing modalities of tarot, crystal healing, drum medicine, plant spirit medicine, and more to offer a unique spiritual healing experience that you can’t find anywhere else. Tarot, Tea, and Astrology is my sacred space of healing and magick. It helps me remember who I am and remember the whimsy, wonder, and beauty of life. It gives me purpose, strength, and confidence. It allows me to live the soft life that I was made for and it is helping other people who are aligned with this way of life discover that it is possible for them too! I am currently on Facebook where you can find me at my business page for Tarot, Tea, and Astrology. You can message me there to book appointments for any of the services I offer or visit me for a walk in reading at the shop in Wimberley on Saturdays and Sundays between noon and 5 pm.
What matters most to you? Why?
That we all keep our spirits up in hard times. The world really has its way of getting us all down and that is putting it lightly. I’m not talking about spiritual bypassing or toxic love and light stuff. I’m talking about really having the desire to not give up on themselves and the will to stay alive. Even if it doesn’t seem like life is going to get better anytime soon, the ability to have this faith and hope that all things pass and that there is a blessing waiting to be found in all the struggle is a lifesaver. The world around us is chaotic right now. I’ve been lost in the darkness of it all and I just want to be a guiding light for those that are trapped there. Right now for me this looks like fighting for my right to live a peaceful life and helping others to keep their peace in trying times too. We all have a purpose for being here in this timeline. Everything happens for a reason and there is a reason that your soul is here in this life today. We are all here to ground a special healing frequency into the collective consciousness here on earth so what matters most to me is for anyone who has ever doubted that there is a reason for their existence to know that they belong here, exactly as they are, to remember that they matter, and to not give up on their dreams. Our dreams are our internal guidance systems giving us clues about the type of life we came here to live. They give us meaning, strength, and vitality. Our spirits can’t thrive without them. I think I care so strongly about this because of my personal philosophies in life. I am a seeker of truth and what I’ve personally discovered about truth is that we live in a world where truth is subjective. It’s relative to perspective and changeable to personal experience. So in a reality where more than one thing can be true at once my philosophy is that the ultimate truth would be some sort of universal truth or Spiritual law. A divine wisdom that is untouchable by all the weight and struggle in the world. For me, in my spiritual faith, this looks like the idea that we all have a purpose in this world and that we are all here for an abundant and pleasurable life. Whatever that looks like for you, so long as it harms none! There are systems in place that have created ways of life that go against these basic inherent rights of ours, systems deliberately designed to keep us down and have us believing we should give our dreams, our power and our self love away. It’s these systems and their patterns that left me spiritually impoverished and broken before I remembered I deserved softness from myself, from others, and from the systems that have been put in place for my protection, and I wasn’t weak or selfish or worthless for living the life I want and deserve. The life that is right for me. I have no doubt that the good life looks different for everyone but I want others to have no doubt that we are all deserving of that good life and it is accessible to us even if we have to be trailblazers to get there. There’s nothing wrong with taking the road less traveled and in fact I’d say it’s more fruitful if you can trust yourself and find the confidence to take it.
