MAGICKAL MENTORING & GIFTS TO 'UNEARTH' YOUR SOUL'S PURPOSE!

Our Values

Authenticity · Loving Kindness · Sacred Connection · Wisdom

We believe something magickal happens when people remember how to live in harmonious - ‘relationship’ with Nature & Her elements - physically, mentally, emotionally, & spiritually.  We believe these people live more fulfilling-lives & are more likely to discover & act upon their Soul’s Purpose!   The more people living their Soul’s Purpose i.e. contributing their one-of-a-kind, unique gifts to others, the more inventive, creative, healthy, strong, connected, & rich our global- civilization becomes! 

 

Herb’n Oracle exists to empower & guide you to your Soul’s Purpose; to draw out your authenticity, & instill tranquility, inspiration, connection, & wisdom.  We draw from ancient teachings & nature-based practices, shared across numerous lineages & esoteric arts.  Though our lessons predominantly are based in ethical-witchcraft and soul-alchemy, our approach is to help you discover what YOUR unique spiritual path looks & feels like.  Are you ready?

​

Bringing you intentional-gifts, education on how to utilize nature's "medicine-cabinet", & mentoring opportunities to reconnect with yourself, nature, & live a life filled with intention, Herb'n Oracle has something for everyone!

Priestess Rising Graduate

The Priestess Rising Program was just what I needed in this time of my life.  Working with Niene has been a blessed experience - she is such a great teacher, listener, and offers extended resources when you want to go really deep into a topic!  From simple grounding & protection tools, to meditations, totems, and other wonderful topics, this course has transformed my confidence in who I am as a spiritual human.  I've re-discovered my strengths and shadows, and now have wonderful tools for both to be the Magickal person I already was deep down inside, and I'm now flourishing.

Priestess Rising Graduate

"I love all the things I've learned in the Priestess Rising Program!  My mind-set has always been open to new possibilities & new ways of thinking that are positive for me. However, this program has shown me so much more than I could ever imagine for myself, in such a short period of time.  I highly recommend getting to know & understanding how your intuition is powerful, & working with Priestess Niene has done just that.

 

Priestess Niene has been a great friend & teacher throughout the course of this program. I've never felt comfortable taking advice from people, but with Niene, her guidance has been a blessing & I know I will always have it. I recommend this class to those interested in learning more about your intuition as well as becoming closer to natural living, mindfulness, & spell casting."

"I am struck by the intense & amazing experience of doing a palmistry session with Niene.  In the past, I had my hand read at a Renaissance festival, but I did not realize the extent of the intricate nature of the Pugliano Palmistry Method Niene has created here.  By taking multiple prints of the hand, you're able to see the finer lines & how they literally connect your life & tell your woven story.  And the finished product turns out to be this intriguing & artistic blend of personal data revealed through your hand prints, can be helpful for your own journey of understanding your past & present, & then making a conscious choice where to direct your future!"

"So informative!  With such care going into my thoughts & feelings in every step & aspect of the process. I not only learned so much about myself, it brought up memories I hadn’t thought of in years. And a bonus to learn that our palms change. They change, which means our willingness to grow can change our path!

​

Can’t wait to print out & frame the beautiful results & plan to have a print of my palm for comparison in years to come…to see what I made happen in my life!"

Essential Oil FREE Consultation

"Niene is exactly what you hope for in a learning experience. She is a true gem, very knowledgeable, articulate, and patient.  She was well prepared during our initial Essential oils consultation and took time to carefully answer and explain every point and question I presented. She offered methods, techniques, and resources to assist me in my understanding process. Additionally, she is always available to answer questions after the initial consult to further guide you as you improve your knowledge base.  As a result of her guidance I quickly experienced the benefits of Essential oils including, in a particular case, the practically immediate remedy of a joint issue that I thought I may have had a doctor visit planned for! With direction from Niene I now have an additional tool in my "health toolbox" in Essential oils.
I look forward to working with her further on Essential oils and exploring what other healing methods she offers in the future. Thank you Niene!"

I now feel comfortable and confident enough to bring essential oils into my everyday practices."

Meditation Mentoring

“I recommend Niene's meditation classes without reservation. She taught us several different meditation techniques, with clear and concise guidance before each session. Niene has a great sense of humor, which makes her classes even more enjoyable than they otherwise would be. And be sure not to miss her Laughing Meditation class -- it's a hoot!”

Meditation Mentoring

“Meditation was something that I always assumed I could not do - I'd tried on my own to "quiet my mind" and attempt meditation, but never achieved anything close to the goal. Niene's meditation instruction was instantly accessible and useful. Even in my first meditation session with her, I was able to feel results in stress reduction and a more focused mind. She's knowledgeable about many different styles of meditation, and varied her approach to accommodate different learning styles and ability levels. I love meditation with Niene!”

  • What kind of Spiritual Mentoring do you offer and what does that entail?
    My background is in Yogic philosophies, Ayurveda, Kashmir Shaivism, Buddhism & Taoist Mysticism, Ethical Witchcraft & Inner-Alchemy. That being said, my teachings are in "Nature-based" Spirituality (a pathway that excites me most in my own personal journey) & are meant to equip the mentee with the tools to deepen their intuition, deepen their ability to connect with the elements, the earth, & all beings on this side of the veil and otherwise, on a profound level. Though the practices I share, draw upon ethical witchcraft, spiritual-alchemy, & Taoist elemental paths, they are applicable to anyone who desires to deepen their ability to tap into their natural surroundings & within themselves. For those interested in pursuing a 'Spiritual Lifestyle' & are looking to either identify what their beliefs &/or practice is and how to deepen it, should look into our "Online Programs". Our Programs are several months long, we meet over Zoom every other week, plus you'll have online courses to complete as well for additional learning & growth. Our Programs are for those interested in investing in their overall wellbeing, are looking for a real SHIFT in their life, & are for those ready for the challenge of pursing a spiritually-connected lifestyle.
  • What is "PPM" Palmistry?
    "PPM" stands for The Pugliano Palmistry Method, & is a 1-of-a kind, results-delivery method for your Palmsitry session results. Our PPM sessions not only give you an incredibly thorough, Palmistry reading, but it comes with 7+ artistic sheet, keepsakes! You are walked through your results over Zoom & shown how to read your results so you can revisit them without the need of an interpretor. Locals, can meet with Niene in person where she'll ink your hand for you. Out-of-state & International clients have to ink their own hands, & email Niene a scanned copy of their prints. Niene will reimburse you for your ink and roller if you follow our reimbursement guidelines. There is a Video on our PPM Palmistry Page that shows you exactly how to ink your own hand. To Preview what our Results look like, watch this video!
  • Do you accept custom installments for your Programs?
    Absolutely! Because I offer 1-on-1 Mentoring, I am able to offer the flexibility of custom schedules, installment plans, & even curriculums to meet your needs & interests. What's most important to me, is the people who really want to be here, & are meant to be, are able to work with me.
  • What geo-locations do you provide services for?
    Herb'n Oracle is based in Austin, TX USA. We provide online mentoring & the Pugliano Palmistry Method aka "PPM" sessions, internationally. Our physical products are shippable to anywhere in the U.S.
  • How do I inquire or enroll in one of your programs?
    Great question! The first thing you would need to do is to schedule your Program Enrollment Interview. You can find this on our Booking Services Tab & our Online Programs tab of our site Menu. There is a form you will fill out when booking, that will allow you to ask questions, & when we meet over Zoom, we'll enjoy a very casual conversation regarding your interests & goals. This is to establish if I am the best Mentor for you & whether or not my offerings will help you reach your goals.
  • What is a High Priest or High Priestess?
    A High Priest or High Priestess is a title given to those who have achieved a certain level of knowledge and expertise in a particular spiritual tradition or practice. In some traditions, a High Priest or High Priestess may be responsible for leading rituals, teaching others, and overseeing the spiritual community. However, it's important to note that the term can mean different things in different contexts. Some people may use the term more loosely to refer to anyone who holds a position of authority or leadership within a spiritual or religious organization. Others may use the term in a more specific way, to refer to those who have undergone certain initiations or who have been recognized by their peers as particularly skilled or knowledgeable in their field. As a Self-Development and Spirituality Coach, High Priestess of Spirit and Creation, and Priestess of Sacred-Caretaking, Herb'n Oracle does not align with any specific spiritual tradition or practice that would require the use of the title High Priest or High Priestess. Instead, Herb'n Oracle focuses on helping individuals cultivate their own personal growth and self-awareness, regardless of their religious or spiritual background. To learn more about what a High Priest or High Priestess is or isn't, refer to our Video here:
  • How can I become certified as a Priestess or Priest with Herb'n Oracle?
    Though we DO initiate Priests and Priestesses here at Herb'n Oracle, we don't prescribe to "certifications" as that constitutes there are common standards among Priests and Priestesses. We believe Priests and Priestesses are very individualized paths and vary greatly from one tradition/lineage to another. One major reason we don't claim to "certify" Priest or Priestesses is because obtaining a certification, is to be in a "transactional-relationship" i.e. if you learn a, b, c, I will give you this piece of paper that now "certifies" you as an x, y, z. Here at Herb'n Oracle, we mentor our initiates in how live "relationally" with all existence around them, and how to invite all of life into a conversation. To create "relationship" among all things, brings about a deeper and more profound understanding and lived experience. Priest and Priestesshood are not boxes to checkoff, or something to obtain. To become a Priest or Priestess is to commit yourself to a higher calling, one that acts in harmony, reverence, and advocacy for the path/lineage/tradition/purpose one will serve. Such things do not require a piece of paper, and the title that is earned, is not nearly as important as the actions taken for the betterment of all. Several of our programs offer an optional initiation for those who complete all lessons, mentoring sessions, homework, and online modules. Though we do present our graduates with a piece of paper, it does not "certify" them in a "licensed to initiate others"-sort-of-way. It is merely a congratulatory, certificate of completion, and an acknowledgement that can be applied as prerequisites completed should the graduate wish to continue in higher states of learning and discovery. For those who are interested in stepping into a Priest or Priesthood role, I invite you to ask yourself 'why you are seeking to become a Priest or Priestess' and 'what are the beliefs and desires surrounding that goal?' If you'd like help further fleshing-out what you aim to accomplish, please schedule a free chat with us. If your goals are in alignment with our commitment of service, we can discuss mentoring options to help you get there. Priests and Priestesses commit to take action daily towards things higher than themselves, are dedicated, and under mindful-mentorship, can become quite powerful and humble in their service to others. It is not something one can do as a "hobby". It is a lifestyle; a lifelong journey.
  • What is "Ethical Witchcraft"?
    Ethical Witchcraft to me means, first and foremost "DO NO HARM" i.e. I NEVER partake in crafting curses or hexes. I exist to connect with all beings in a harmonious light, and strive to be an active advocate for the earth and her elements and many beings. Through practicing witchcraft ethically, I am committed to understanding the health and emotional benefits of plants, should beings be in need of healing, how to give intentional offerings to bring both ceremony and mindfulness into my day to day actions, and to listen and be one with nature, as it is my greatest teacher. Witchcraft is polytheistic meaning I/we believe in many deities. I myself have a very ecletic council of guides that span across many religions, folklore, and my ancestry - all possessing higher consciousness than myself, and offering guidance that helps shape me into the best version of myselft, so I may best be of service to others. I am a servant to the Spirit, Fire, Water, Air and Earth, and all the beings who dwell among them. All spells I weave, meditations I have, and mentoring sessions I give, are to foster a safe and intentional space for individuals to discover a spiritual path that truly resonates for them and them alone. I help community to rediscover their connection to all things in existence and to develop their confidence to overcome any and all of life's obstacles.
