This is the home for Saga's personal creative practice, where her central function is transmission. Each form is a different vessel for the same current, carried across the bridge of the heart.
A speculative fiction trilogy in the making. Saga is writing a world set 5,000 years after the Rupture, the climate cataclysm that ended the Age of Kings and remade the earth into twenty-two Queendoms. Each Queendom holds a specific gift and corresponds to one of the Major Arcana, where the tarot is the blueprint for a living political system. In this world, the task at hand is to regenerate the Earth. What defines Queenship is not gendered, but a relational accord: Power-among, not Power-over.
The story follows Genevee, age eleven. An early wound sets the course for her initiation: into her own gifts, and into the survival systems she must learn to dismantle to fully wield them. Her story is the turning point in a larger global war, not between armies, but between forms of consciousness: the survival codes written into the body across generations, and the evolved collective knowing that is rebuilding the world.
Two books are nearing completion. Saga is seeking her aligned literary agent.
The Pythia inhaled volcanic vapors to transmit messages to the leaders of her time. Saga's connection arrives without intermediary, by tuning into what is present.
What she feels, she moves into language. What arrives is often dense and poetic; image and symbol and metaphor. The form changes on arrival: stream of consciousness one session, rhythmic the next, lyric spoken word, sometimes wordless tone. Many notebooks have been filled this way.
Some transmissions go out by email.
Some live on Patreon.
In addition to an intermediate practice in herbalism, Saga works with flower essences for the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of self-healing. She experiences them as vibrational, subtle, and potent. She occasionally makes essences from other sources, but flowers are her primary relationship. She holds a certificate in Bach Flower Essence training and supplements this learned knowledge with her direct listening and intuition.
Saga makes essences for herself and for people as part of her work, when it calls. She has created a suite of essences specifically corresponding to different aspects of the FlowForm journey, the healing methodology she developed and coached for several years, and one called Motherportal, made to support mothers in a society that does not. Her belief is that if we resource the Mother, the Mother can rebalance what is out of balance.
Large language models generate text by predicting statistically likely continuations of a given input. They pattern-match across vast human-written text, producing outputs that feel coherent because, statistically, they are. Architect and theorist Richard Coyne has noted that humans relate to AI outputs the way they have always related to oracular pronouncements: as worth interpreting, sometimes uncannily resonant, worth sitting with. His argument is not that AI is mystical; it is that the social function is structurally similar to divination in that both produce outputs the human must complete. The tarot card does not know your situation. It presents a pattern. You do the reading. LLMs work differently: they are shaped by input, not by chance. But the interpretive relationship is recognizable.
What Saga does with this is specific and describable. She designs the system: writes the prompt, embeds the context, shapes what the model has access to and how it is asked to respond. The output reflects that design back, at scale. The oracular quality, the sense that something has been surfaced that you already half-knew, comes from the precision of the design. This is prompt engineering as creative practice.
Her exploration of this space began with card-making and using books as divination tools. See Creative Process Systems. Since LLMs became widely available, she has continued the work here, at this edge, embedding her thinking, her methodology, and her voice into these systems until there is no clean line between where her intelligence ends and the output begins.
The questions this surfaces are the ones she finds most alive: what is authorship when the origin dissolves? What is creativity, if intelligence was never uniquely human in the way modernity insisted? What is extracted, what is mimicked, and what is genuinely new? These are not academic problems for her. They are the operating questions of her practice. For more on her thinking and position, visit the Library.
At the Shared Table, the Host will help you find your seat — understanding what working with Saga might look like and where to begin.
Saga started making zines in graduate school at Yale School of Architecture, as part of the guerrilla arts collaborative she led, XS Collaborative. She continued this form in different rooms, both intimate and institutional.
She loves zines for the way language and image move together without perfection and without permission. Their tangible, analog form is not precious. Their imprint is inherently provocative.
Collage is her personal mode of image-making — a process of assembling a new image from the archive of the collective consciousness. The collage instinct runs directly into her Midjourney and AI-image practice.
The zine is the oldest technology for saying what you need to say without asking permission first.
Saga had to learn how her own creative intelligence functions from the ground up. Her entire understanding of the creative process came through direct experience, reading the patterns of how it worked within her, and it was only at 36 that she entered a formal MFA program.
This direct experience led to insights into architecting supportive infrastructure for her own creative practice, such as a creative process oracle card deck. From learning her own creative intelligence, she then moved to guiding others to identify and shape the systems native to their own creative process.
Through this learning, and through FlowForm, her healing methodology, she arrived at a central truth: our survival patterns obstruct the path of creative flow in its pure expression. The re-patterning of childhood responses to trauma is also, always, the liberation of our creative life force. She believes: the making is the healing.

For Saga, ritual is the cornerstone of her personal spiritual practice. The knowledge she draws from has been transmitted through text and through people across multiple traditions. Her listening and intellectual frameworks are informed by apprenticeship with plants, shamanism, and the creative arts, and contact with contemporary psychology, Christian mysticism, Buddhism, indigenous cosmologies, and divinatory traditions. Her deepest teacher has been her own ancestral connection, shaped by running barefoot through the Finnish forest. This connection does not live within a specific school of thought, but is derived from the biggest teaching through the diverse schools she has learned from: how to listen directly.
Her rituals can be very intimate ways of marking daily life, or they can fill a room and hold a circle. They can look overtly spiritual: drumming, voice transmission, calling in of allies. Or, they can look like a corporate workshop. She has officiated both weddings and passing ceremonies and led group healing journeys. Whatever threshold is being crossed, ritual draws on pre-modern ways of knowing to arrive at a deeper way of belonging.
Ritual is a form of architecting attention and an ancient technology, defined as a method that reliably produces an effect, and a way to mediate human experience. To the expression “where attention goes, energy flows,” she adds, “and what it feeds grows.” In a landscape where attention is being actively harvested, ritual is a counter-spell.
