Into the Veil

SPIRITUALITY FOR THE PEOPLE.

Capitalism may be crumbling, but our Mother Earth Lives On. The World needs you to live your dreams and destiny, my love. Your Good Spirits show you how.

Belonging is a Beautiful Thing.

In living in communion with our Spirit Guides and Ancestors wise and well, we cultivate the sense of belonging that so many of us long for in this individualist-focused world.

So many New Age books, teachers, coaches and classes promise to connect you with your Good Spirits. But you’re ready for something more.

Espiritismo Cruzao offers you the missing piece: authentic, ancestrally guided spirituality and mediumship.

An oral tradition, Espiritismo was created to be learned through the passing of information from generation to generation.

Through Into the Veil, Kaitlyn creates the sacred space for the awakening of your spiritual gifts. Into the Veil is a jumpstart to living in communion with the spirit realms, creating devotion in a daily lives, connecting to the divinity within, activating our psychic and mediumship abilities, and receiving the guidance of the Good Spirits who support us.

So, what’s Espiritismo?

Espiritismo Cruzao is an “open” spiritual tradition birthed in the Caribbean, born from the crossing of Kardekian Spiritism, African & Indigenous Spiritual Practices, and folk Catholicism.

To put it very simply, Espiritismo is the belief that spirits, gods, and other incorporeal entities have influence over the mental, physical, spiritual, and financial health of the living - for better or for worse.

Through the practices of Espiritismo, we the living begin to commune and communicate with the spirits. We cultivate real relationships with the spirits who support us and protect us in our spiritual, ethical, and earthly advancement.

“Kaitlyn has a level of authenticity that is a joy to witness and experience. Kaitlyn holds the container of their classes with such a deep caring energy. No matter the fear, the story, the limiting belief, Kaitlyn holds space and nurtures these spaces with calm and validation rather than minimizing. I am so grateful I was recommended their Into the Veil class - it is HIGHLY content rich, entirely worth e v e r y penny.”

-Sage DeLucia

Into the Veil: A Spiritual Institution

What does it mean to have hosted Into the Veil 20 times? To have been witnessed by over 250 pairs of eyes and ears?

Well, it means a few things:

  1. No two ITVs are alike. As someone who lives and breathes intentional communion with spirit every single day, my beliefs and practices are fluid and ever-evolving. As what I understand shifts and grows, so does the content for the program. The structure continues to become more refined. The meditations deepen in their potency. The messages from the Good Spirits have specificity unique to the students gathered to receive them. This is why I offer alumni access to all future offerings of Into the Veil, free of charge.

  2. You're learning from someone who actually does the things. You are learning from the ancestral wisdom that has been protected and passed down to me. You are learning from the lived experiences of a committed Espiritista - the frustrations and doubts, the complexity of diasporic identities, the Blessings and Grace.

  3. TBH, I'm pretty f*cking great at what I do. Maybe it's the fun Solar Gemini-talk-with-your-hands-manic-pixie-energy. Maybe it's that Cancer Rising intense-extended-eye-contact that cradles you like a lil spirit baby.
    I think it's because I intentionally share ancestral spiritual knowledge and wisdom in a way that is accessible to my fellow proletariat.

What I share isn't for the elite, the few who already “have it all" - though those born into this privilege certainly are welcome to learn something from the Good Spirits I walk with.

Espiritismo is a spiritual science of the people. Especially the ones who feel forgotten, lost, unheard. It is an invitation to believe that you are divine, you are important, you are blessed, you are protected, you are worthy of thriving in this lifetime.

Capitalism may be crumbling, but our Mother Earth Lives On. The World needs you to live your dreams and destiny, my love. Your Good Spirits show you how.

“Kaitlyn’s queer identity speaks to me in a way that not all practitioners can. Their conscious use of language and acknowledgement of Christianity’s harm doesn’t dismiss the harm we all have endured. Kaitlyn’s identity intersections makes them very relatable and their personality make them feel very approachable. Kaitlyn is not only gifted in their connection to Spirit, guides and ancestors, but to us, the living, as well.”

energetic exchange

Tuition for Into the Veil is offered at a sliding scale. The benefits, content, resources, and access is equal for every student, regardless of which tuition tier they select.

how do I know which tuition tier to sign up for?

At Mother of Mystics, we believe in building the foundations of our community in abolition - which means we are not here to police your income. We do not require proof of income or eligibility to qualify. We believe in having good faith and trust in our community members.

If you are struggling to determine which tier is appropriate for you, we’ve provided some details and questions to help you make that decision for yourself.

  • It is a sacred sacrifice to commit to your spiritual development, and elders and teachers should be compensated for the knowledge and experience that grants their students access to ancestrally-rooted spiritual traditions. It is not unusual for spiritual practitioners looking to work under a mentor or initiate into a tradition to ask others for financial support, be it through family members, friends, crowdsourcing, or otherwise.

    This mentorship is an investment in your spiritual education and expansion.

    With that said, if you do not have access to the financial resources on your own or with the help of community, and paying for ITV out of pocket would cause you financial hardship, we ask that you do not enroll at this time, and revisit ITV when it makes more sense for you financially.

  • from Worts & Cunning Sliding Scale Method:


    “If paying for a class, product, or service would be difficult, but not detrimental, it qualifies as a sacrifice. You might have to cut back on other spending in your life (such as going out to dinner, buying coffee, or a new outfit), but this will not have a long term harmful impact on your life. It is a sacred sacrifice in order to pursue something you are called to do. If, however, paying for a class, product, or service would lead to a harmful impact on your life, such as not being able to put food on the table, pay rent, or pay for your transportation to get to work, then you are dealing with hardship. Folks coming from a space of hardship typically qualify for the lower end of the sliding scale.”

  • Into the Veil centers BIPOC, especially LGBTQIA+ BIPOC.

    Non-POC students are welcome, as this practice can connect anyone with their Spirit Guides, Ancestors, and living a life in alignment for the Greater Good of All Creation.

    Misogynoir, anti-Blackness, and Transphobia are not tolerated in this space.

  • Kind of! Into the Veil is more than a course; it is a group mentorship, a passing of the oral tradition of espiritismo from practitioner to student.

    In order to understand Espiritismo, a spiritual science, one must learn the history, theory, guidelines and accepted practices. These things are taught via lecture.

    In order to have an Espiritismo praxis, one must put what they have learned into action on their own. We support this in our live monthly labs and in our peer organize study groups.

  • No! You need only have an earnest interest, curiosity, and an open heart to receive the benefits of Into the Veil.

  • All lectures are prerecorded and available on your student dashboard at the first of each month, for you to watch at your convenience.
    Live "labs" are held once a month, on the last wednesday of each month. A survey will go out to all students once enrollment closes, so we can confirm timing for labs that suit the majority of our students' schedules.
    If you are unable to attend live, you can still receive the full benefits of the program by engaging in course content, participating on Discord, and joining a peer study group.

alumni EXPERIENCE

alumni EXPERIENCE 🌹

“I so loved Into the Veil. Getting to be part of that container of people with completely different backgrounds and relationships with spirit was so affirming and eye opening. I was literally vibrating with the energy through the session and afterwards. I LOVED getting to hear everyone's messages and witness how diverse our paths and spirits are. The message I received was validating and still sits with me as I continue to get comfortable with my spirits and my ability to perceive them.

The workshop really helped me to more fully understand the importance of regular cleansing, protection, and grounding. I was a bit familiar before the workshop, but none of the other teachers I'd come across ever explained why those things were vital to spiritual work and developing our connection. Getting so many examples of rituals or practices was great, too, because experimentation is so important to my practices. I was able to try things on, feel into what was working for me, and then mix and match to make something more true to me.

The shift I've noticed is that I now understand that my practices, the ways I engage with my spirits, and the prayers I speak to them don't have to be dictated by what others do. It was really freeing to realize that I don't just have to recite a prayer that makes me gag in order to connect with a spirit or deity. I can create my own thing that feels good and aligned.”

-Brit Star, The Inner Well, Sword + Stone

“Taking ITV with Kaitlyn is one of the most impactful experiences I have had on my spiritual journey. Kaitlyn's knowledge sharing and support is invaluable and I am grateful every day that I took this course. There are so many tangible ways of growing from this class (through the meditations, tarot spreads, worksheets, office hours, etc.) and I return weekly to the notes that I took during ITV because I am always gaining new perspective from them. But my favorite parts were all of the intangible, difficult to explain ways I have grown as a result of ITV. It's why I've been hesitant to discuss my experience - I'm still learning how to encapsulate just everything this experience meant to me. All I can say is with my whole heart I recommend this course to anyone who is looking to deepen their practice and their relationship with their guides. I am so glad I did!”

-Madi, Bloom with Madi

“Into the Veil was a jam-packed learning and growing experience. I gained so much knowledge on espiritismo and what I felt were foundational building blocks that I could use to shape my personal practice and connect with my spirit team. I'm grateful for the channeled letter and the message that came through as I'm still unraveling it all. Working with Kaitlyn has been an eye opening experience and definitely set me on a path of spiritual growth. If you are in a space where you feel disconnected from your spirits and want to participate in a container that will nourish you and give you the tools to break through your own blocks while also boosting your confidence, this is for you.”

-V

“Where do I start? A strong foundation is the key to harmonious, fruitful, spiritual connection. Through ITV parts 1 and 2, I was able to learn from Kaitlyn’s course content and my application and completion of the assignments. The assignments, tips, and suggestions have helped me to strengthen not only my protection practices but to continue nurturing my relationships with the benevolent spirits that surround me, in measurable ways. One of the best things is the ability to keep the class (virtual) notebooks for future reference (which I’ve been referring to daily). I can’t even put into words how valuable this experience has been to my overall practice and growth as a spiritist. I’m looking forward to attending future workshops and programs offered by Spirit Garden Tarot. Kaitlyn is truly a gem. Their radiance permeates all of their work, a literal being of light.”

-Quani Lu

"I have had the gift and opportunity to learn from Kaitlyn several times. I have taken both Into The Veil 1 and 2. They really care about the information they give in class. Whether it be from their research or channeling. It always improves my own practice and deepens my understanding of the actions I take and why. I always leave a more fulfilled person and more informed practitioner . I don't know that one could ask for anything more.”

-Ashley Irvin, Lotus Love & Truth

“From that first Into the Veil workshop, I felt drawn to their practice and their presence. Every session that I've had with Kaitlyn has helped me tap into my OWN magic, my own spiritual prowess. One of my spirit guides, s/o Rosalinda, asked that I get cards and add them to my practice. So, I did -- something I never saw myself doing, but I absolutely love it! It helps me slow down, think through, find clarity in a way I never have before. There are all these "gems", as I like to call them, that have come out of ITV guided meditations that have stuck with me and made it up onto my quote wall. The most useful, beautiful, necessary, amazing thing that I have received from the experiences I've had in these ITV workshops is a moment to connect with myself, which directly connects to the divine. And for that, I'm grateful.”

-Leora

“I took Into the Veil in Oct 2020, and honestly it was THE most memorable spiritual workshop I've ever taken. Months later, I'm still processing the many gems Kaitlyn helped me find. The wealth of info they shared about working with spirit in general has enhanced my daily routines, and the message they channeled for me specifically was exactly what I needed. I was deeply moved by the accuracy of my channeled message. I can be a skeptic sometimes, but it didn't take long at all for me to have full confidence that Kaitlyn is one of the realest practitioners out there. They took such good care of every single person in the course. My sense of what is possible in terms of spirit communication has been expanded in the best possible way. The guide they introduced me to has been showing up for me regularly, and I couldn't be more grateful to Kaitlyn for helping me initiate what has become such a deeply fulfilling relationship with this spirit. <3”
-Tawni

"Into the Veil is sacred container, it was truly a gift to be a part of it! be present and open. make time to engage with your spirits, with the material. You’ll be given plenty of tools to practice and integrate for years to come. Ask questions. If you are feeling called or curious- answer the call!”

-Safeena
