Blooming Wand
Welcome to Blooming Wand! Your sanctuary for grounded spiritual growth and authentic connection. I'm Emily O'Neal, an evidential psychic medium, intuitive healer, and coach helping you rediscover your inherent spiritual wisdom.
Each of us is born with a powerful intuitive connection to the unseen realms of energy and spirit. Yet life's challenges and societal expectations can dim this inner light. Through evidential mediumship, tarot insights, intuitive guidance, and transformative coaching, I offer a practical, evidence-based approach to spirituality that helps you reconnect with your intuitive self and ancestral wisdom.
I currently reside on Cowlitz lands in what is also known as Vancouver, Washington. My practice honors both place and lineage as I support others in their spiritual journeys.
Join me for conversations about developing intuition, communicating with Spirit, ancestral healing, and accessible spiritual tools for everyday life.

Beyond Comfortable Spirituality: Real spiritual work isn't about transcending the world's pain
What happens when our spiritual practices collide with the harsh realities of a world in crisis? This raw, thought-provoking exploration challenges the comfortable spirituality we often cling to when faced with overwhelming global suffering.
I've spent years examining how my own spiritual practice served as an escape hatch from difficult emotions and world events. The truth I've discovered is both uncomfortable and liberating: real spiritual work isn't about transcending the world's pain—it's about developing the courage and compassion to face it directly.
Through personal revelations about my Scottish ancestors who experienced cultural oppression before becoming colonizers themselves on Turtle Island, I unpack how trauma travels through generations, how the oppressed can become oppressors, and what responsibility we carry when we inherit both wounds and privilege. This isn't about guilt; it's about how we transform this knowledge into meaningful action.
When genocide unfolds in Gaza, when wars rage in Sudan and Ukraine, what does our spiritual practice demand of us? If our teachers and mentors aren't helping us grapple with these moral crises, are they truly equipped to guide our growth? Any practice that teaches bypassing injustice for personal peace isn't transformation—it's spiritual materialism.
Feeling overwhelmed by injustice doesn't mean you're powerless; it often means you're fully grasping the situation's gravity. Through journal prompts, practical actions, and community connection, we can channel our anguish into sustained engagement. The goal isn't to cure our heartbreak but to let it deepen our commitment to justice.
Join this conversation about what it means to practice spirituality with integrity in troubled times. Share how you're navigating these questions in your own life, and connect with others seeking to transform personal healing into collective liberation.
