Interviewing Angel’s Spotify account
Here, you can find my Dragon Mixtape. Which is a mixed out collection of songs that Emerald often requests I play. This is where the music from “songs my dragon likes” will appear after it releases in the notes feed.
I’m also creating a playlist of instrumental music that aids me with my dives.
As well as a playlist of nature tracks that I also have been known to use during my dives to mix it up.
Reading material
When I find someone I really enjoy on substack I’m always curious who else they recommend following.
Unfortunately, I haven’t found a good built-in feature for that on the substack page. Everything feels “spammy” to me. I want to click something when I’m in the mood to explore and see a list... I decided the way to fix that is to make a post for the header’s bar.
I will update this periodically.
Problem solved!
P.S. feel free to use this idea on your own page…I’ll consider it an open source feature. :)
Substack publications
This is one of Alysia’s two publications. As the name insinuates she also works with dragons like I do. Hers is an earth dragon named Shasta. I have loved our conversations about of our experiences, and what it’s like having spirit-dragons be a part of our lives.
Her ideas on how to integrate that dragon energy into a changing job market are fabulous.
She also has a publication where shares fantasy fiction called Moonrise Mystic
I have recently started reading Colin’s material. Many talk about concepts like “we are all one” in flowery terms that are vague and hard to extract any applicable meaning from. Colin on the other hand, has done a great job of attempting to bring these concepts back down to earth. I have found his descriptions very useful - a rare things for me. I sense there is much to be mined from his writings…
I first connected to Elior. One of publication’s two writers. He has a depth of thought and a kindness which caught my attention.
The writings on this publication are raw, I am often surprised by how honestly both of them share about their journeys.
If you are looking to read about love and presence that steps into our mess to bring healing, this is a good place to start.
Native American and other indigenous wisdom is a reoccurring theme that has shaped my path. From the time that I was young I have always been drawn to it, and it has continued to shape me, awaken me and heal me in deep ways both emotionally and physically. I’ve been so happy to have found Angel, his writings are like a balancing medicine for our modern culture. Read it when your heart is hungry for something rooted and healing.
If you’re not already subscribed to Interviewing Angels, this is a great time to add me to your “inbox library” as well. ;)
Notes feed
Notes are the shorter, social media form of posting here on substack and there are a few people that I follow specifically (or even exclusively) for their notes.
Follow them to see their notes in your feed. (Following puts someone into your substack feed without sending emails to your inbox. This only works if you have a substack account.)
To follow someone:
Go to the substack version of their page.
Click the 3 dots to the right of the message me button.
Then click follow.
Tracy Chrest
While we are on the topic of Native American wisdom, Tracy is another great source for this. Tracy posts on notes (the shorter, more social media side of substack) and often shares this beautiful wisdom with others. I love seeing his content in my feed.
Fiona (formerly Breath and Marrow)
Her “notes” are where it’s at! I love seeing her poetic descriptions of how she connects to nature - I resonate with some of them deeply. Follow her if you want beautiful things to show up regularly in your notes feed.
If you are familiar with some of these publications and know of another who would fit well within this vein, you can let me know in the comments.
Please also include a few sentences telling me why they’re a worthwhile read. Thank you.
Recommended Books
These books are not substack related but are worth mentioning. My list of books is short, limited exclusively to reads that deeply impacted my journey at the time that I read them… I will continue to update this post periodically when I come across other resources that I feel are worthy of to this list.
The Veil by Blake K Healy
This book was given to me by a friend not long after I started having dives and I couldn’t put it down! I resonated with much of his journey and felt so seen and understood. I was fascinated by his stories and his own interactions with angels. I’ve since then read his other books and even met him in person on a few occasions. I found that he is incredibly down to earth in spite of his incredible experiences.
That’s what the old ones say by Chief Joseph RiverWind
As some of you might know, I was very ill for several years as a young adult. I was supernaturally healed at a Native American drum circle led by the author of this book. After that I of course read his book...
I loved hearing the treasures that are the Oral Traditions of the First Nations Tribes. Some of them confirmed to me what I have always believed deep in my heart… That the divine can be encountered in many ways, and that nature itself can teach us many things about truth, light and how to live in alignment with the fabric of creation.
For me this book was a stepping stone that helped me break past some of the dogma I was raised around. It solidified the belief that what my heart had always told me was the truth…
The Dragon Bar by Richard Kinney & Dr. Nancy Moelk
If you read this book you may notice a familiar water dragon named Emerald appear within the pages. :)
Emerald has been known to interact with several of my friends, including the authors of this book. I was honored to have some of my own stories with her included in the book as well. (I was nicknamed “Angel girl” within its pages.)
As for the rest of the book… I’ll let you discover that for yourself…
Fourth Wing (book 1) by Rebecca Yarros
My mentor gifted this book to me around the time when I met Emerald. When I called and excitedly told him about how I met her, he replied, “Just wait til you see what I sent you in the mail a few days ago! It should be arriving at your house soon.”
It was fourth wing… (Having a prophetic mentor is a wonderfully interesting thing.) The book had only recently released, and I dove into it. Whenever I would read it, I invited Emerald to read it with me. I could often feel her enormous head looking over my shoulder as if she were staring at the page.
When I asked her if she could read, she explained that she could hear me reading it in my mind. I was reading it to her, psychically that is. Emerald loved the book and would often comment about the various accuracies it held about dragon personalities and behavior.
If you are looking for ways to bond with your dragon, or just a great fantasy read, you might enjoy this book. I know I did.
Living Water by Viktor Schauberger
My husband, Storm has always been intrigued by alternative science. I of course have curiosity about the topic as well, since many of my own experiences are better explained and understood within that framework. Storm found this book in an unlikely place, he said the book found him. This man’s work answered questions we have wondered about for many years.
If you, like Storm and I, are troubled by the friction between technology and the natural world, this book will open up an entirely new perspective. Suggesting different approaches for how we might bring modern technology into harmony with nature… It is a very thought provoking read.
If you have friends who are on the lookout for reading material , or you know the type who are always curious, share my publication with them and invite them to explore :)
