Intuitive Healer & Oracle | Tori Shadows | Dark Oracle

I was born into freedom. A childhood spent barefoot on the earth, hands deep in soil, face lifted to the wind as if it were my first teacher. I sat on stones twice my size, watched snakes slither through the grass, and felt the veil between worlds shift when a cup moved across the bathroom counter on its own. Even then, I knew this vessel of five fingers and five toes was a mystery, and I would spend my life trying to understand it.

But light does not walk without shadow. As I grew, the turbulence of identity and pain carried me into dark places of drugs, self-harm, and the chaos of a world that told me I was broken. Music became my lifeline, healing me in waves, until I was once again swallowed by my own darkness. On and off, I fought with the shadows inside me, until I discovered metaphysical science, the Science of Mind, and the sacred knowing that darkness is not the enemy, but the teacher.

My shadows have been my greatest guides. They led me back to the light. They continue to whisper at the edges of my being, reminding me that in this dual world, we are meant to fall and rise, to know both sun and moon, to hold pain as sacred alchemy. It is here, in the transmutation of energy, that I found my power, not in denying the darkness, but in facing it and transforming it into light.

I am drawn to the misunderstood, the untold stories of the fallen and the fierce. Warrior, Lilith, Hekate, Sekhmet and Kali. These archetypes live within me. Their stories, like ours, have been twisted, yet they burn with truth and fire. I walk with the ankh, the cho ku rei, the chakana, and the sigils that arrive through channel. I am a channel and a guide, a Reiki healer, a collector of stones like my mother, a musician like my father. My empathy comes from both of them, and it flows through everything I do.

The Dark Oracle Temple is my offering. A space where you are free to bring your pain, your grief, your shadows… not to bury them, but to transform them. This world will tell you to numb, to hide, to get over it. I am here to remind you: your shadows are not shame. They are power. They are the raw material of your rebirth.

I carry the warrior, the jaguar, and the shadow in my aura. My larger vision is always this…to guide others through the sacred dance of body and soul. To help you rise in strength, whether through energy work, channeling, crystals, steel mace training, or the unconventional warrior path.

You are not broken. You are not too much. You are a vessel of light and dark, sun and moon, fall and rise. You are power in motion, and it would be my honor to walk beside you as you reclaim every piece of who you are.
