Who is Rayven Michaels?

This question gets asked a lot -- who exactly is Rayven Michaels. The question for me then, is how much to tell? What is relevant to the asker? Well, since this is a blog with diverse readers, there is no simple answer to that. So, here is the full answer, hopefully it will provide answers to all. Do please know that I am not big on name dropping so even though you will see some big names in some of my "lineage" please do not let it color your views of me.  I am still simply me. ;0)

About Rayven Michaels:

The short version: Rayven Michaels is co-owner of Earth Spirit Soul Learning Center with Sol of the U.K. She is a Psychic, Intuitive Advisor, Energy Healer, Dream Interpreter, Oracle Card Reader, Akashic Records Consultant, Clergy, WiseCraft Wicca Teacher and Jewelry Artisan.  For a time she worked as an advisor for a psychic network and currently does private psychic readings.

Now for the longer version and I do sincerely hope this isn't deemed as "puffing myself up." It is just my attempt to sincerely answer the question that has been asked. So, here it goes....


As a psychic Rayven Michaels uses the skills of clairvoyance, clairaudience and clairsentience to assist with answers to a reader's questions. This can also involve the use of tools such as a pendulum or oracle cards. It is her utmost goal to communicate with compassion and integrity and she feels honored when people allow and trust her enough to aid them in their personal endeavors.

When performing energy healings, Rayven uses her intuitive skills to interpret energy and feelings.  During three years living in New Orleans, she studied ancient pagan arts with CPWC and focused on deepening her intuitive skills. Rayven is a Usui Reiki Ryoho Reiki Master and has also explored the Incan Shaman Traditions. She utilizes studies from many disciplines to enhance her communication, knowledge and healing.

After relocating to her native state of Oklahoma, the next step of her journey was to serve the public. Therefore, after being a private psychic for many years, she began offering her services to the public in 2012. She has also taught classes on ancient pagan arts and will be forming new classes soon.

As to her Witch background, Rayven was drawn to witchery as a child and embraced Wicca in her early adult life, practicing secretly as a solitary in a predominantly Christian environment in Northeastern Oklahoma.  In early years, her knowledge was acquired primarily through self study of such authors as Raymond Buckland, Scott Cunningham, Silver RavenWolf, Raven Grimassi and others.  After the new millenium, Rayven began to make contact with other pagans and heathens through attending and participating in renaissance fairs.  It was then that she began to study with others.

In 2006, Rayven studied dream interpretation for a time with the School of Metaphysics of Tulsa but being a follower of the Goddess path, she moved on in her journey.

In 2009, Rayven attained First Level Reiki Practitioner through Kristin Swanson of Sand Springs, Oklahoma.  That same year, Rayven began the Incan Peru Shaman study of Munay Ki Medicine Wheel under the tutelage of Jodi Tuttle/Grandmother Raven in Tulsa who in turn studied under Alberto Villoldo.  From Grandmother Raven, Rayven attained 5 of the 9 rites and finished the directions South and West before undergoing a military move with her husband to New Orleans.

While accompanying her Marine husband to New Orleans for his pre-retirement duty station at NASJRB, Rayven had the good fortune to spend three years studying and practicing Wicca in several covens.  She first studied under Anwnn/Debra Jeffreys with CPWC-ATCi and became a CPWC Priestess and teacher.  Rayven's lineage through CPWC-ATC is:  Rayven Michaels > Debra Jeffreys > Velvet Reith > Raymond Buckland > Gerald Gardner.  In 2010, Rayven left CPWC-ATC and helped organize Daughters of the Phoenix, a progressive study circle in New Orleans specializing in magic and energy workings which later became Circle of the Rising Phoenix Coven.  In 2011, Rayven helped found Witches of the Grove Coven, also in New Orleans, of which she remains an honorary member.

Rayven returned to Oklahoma in June 2012 after her husband’s retirement from the Marine Corps.  Finding that training and resources for Wicca remained scarce in Oklahoma, Rayven founded Yesterways Order of WiseCraft to provide a safe environment for Seekers to explore and learn Wicca and Magick.  She began conducting online classes through WizIQ classrooms and www.Yesterways.com  in late 2012.
Rayven became a Certified Consultant of the Akashic Records in November 2012 through Boni Oian of  Akashic Records Consultants International.

In January 2013, Rayven received Level 1 and Level 2 Tibetan Reiki of William Rand's lineage from Creek Lady Healer of Sand Springs, Oklahoma.  Rayven is also a Certified Master/Teacher of 1-4 Degrees of Usui Reiki Ryoho, 1-10th Degrees Ascension Reiki and Reiju Reiki.

As a registered Clergy through Universal Life Church since 2007, Rayven is available to perform Wiccan rites such as hand fastings, hand partings, Croning, Saging, Wiccanings, baby blessings, Welcoming/Heralding/Hailing, Initiatory Rites, Crossing/Requiem, funerals, Esbats, Sabbats etc.

In early summer 2013, Rayven joined forces with Sol, a Spiritualist Medium and Energy Healer from the U.K. to found Earth Spirit Soul Learning Center with a burning desire to aid people on their journey to psychic development and self awareness.  One thing that they noticed was that while there are many opportunities out there on the web and live local classes, much of what was available was very costly and on a per class basis.  Rayven and Sol desired to make offerings where a person could pay a nominal fee and be able to learn and grow without being financially drained. From that Earth Spirit Soul Learning Center was born.

==================
I do hope this allows you to get to know me better.

Bright Blessings
~Rayven Michaels~
