My name is Ariel Willow

I’m a practicing Norse Pagan, Demonolater, Death Witch, and a student of astrology. With over a decade of experience as a trance channel, a background in and on-going passion for paranormal investigation, I've delved deep into the realms of the occult and the paranormal to help others through their journeys and to learn more about myself along the way.

From a young age, the spirit realm has been a constant presence in my life. I was born with the ability to see and interact with spirits, a gift that left me feeling both connected and isolated. Growing up in a Christian Baptist household, I found myself suppressing my true nature and abilities and left behind the Christian faith to explore what I feel I was meant to do.

My journey of self-discovery led me to a profound passion for expanding my own abilities and, in turn, empowering others; helping them to feel confident and empowered on their spiritual journey and in all aspects of life.

In 2013, I took the first steps in sharing my knowledge and experiences with a wider audience. I began providing readings at psychic fairs, speaking at events, and launched a YouTube channel to connect with those seeking guidance and insight.

In the early days of 2020, my life took an unexpected turn, leaving me homeless. In a twist of fate, I turned to TikTok to share my experiences, and my reach exploded. This fortunate opportunity allowed me to finally fulfill my dream of dedicating myself full-time to my spiritual work.

Today, I offer education, guidance, readings, and sessions for clients worldwide. I find so much joy in helping those who are just beginning their spiritual journeys and helping them find confidence in their practice, abilities, and experiences. My hope is to continue supporting individuals in their transformations and the discovery and strengthening of their spiritual abilities. I aim to provide a welcoming community for those who may feel alone or like they don't belong.

I'm committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful environment in the spiritual communities I engage with. I openly support those who also identify as LGBTQIA+ and individuals from minority backgrounds and I firmly believe that Norse Paganism, like all open spiritual practices, is open to anyone who seek it.

I'm dedicated to the ongoing process of decolonizing my practices, whether it's in Demonolatry, Norse Paganism, Death Witchery, or any other aspect of my spiritual journey. I strive to learn how to more appropriately approach my practices and interact with those around me, with respect, cultural sensitivity, and open-mindedness.

My motto and logo

My motto is "Know thyself; know thy power" because I truly believe your power deepens as you journey to know yourself. Sitting with our fears allows us to see ourselves and opens us to so many opportunities for growth and further compassion towards ourselves and others. Once we accept the parts of us and the fears we avoid, that's when we truly find ourselves.

The ouroboros, the snake eating it’s tail which I have as my logo, is an ancient symbol of death and rebirth.
It spans over many cultures and beliefs but it’s significance to me lies within it being associated with Norse paganism and inevitably, to my death work with it’s death and rebirth associations.

Needless to say, snakes in general, particularly the Ouroboros was a fitting choice and continues to be a powerful symbol of life and death in my life and practice.

 FAQs

  • I haven't had all these abilities since childhood; but as I opened myself to what I could do, I started strengthening more.

    I have the following abilities currently (listed from strongest, to known but less developed):

    Clairvoyance 

    (The ability to see auras, energies, spirits, beings, etc. via eyesight. For me personally, my ability to see them in the dark is based upon whether these things are illuminated by an source like a flashlight or if they're self-illuminating. I'm also able to see these things through video or photos.)

    Clairaudience

    (Hearing spirits, guides, aliens, angels, etc. via it sounding as though it's physically in the space with me or within my mind in a different voice than my own.)

    Clairsentience 

    (Sensing energies and emotions; similar, but different than Clairempathy.)

    Trance Channeling 

    (being a mediator of information from the other side or beings through a trance-like state or allowing them to use my whole body including motor functions and voice.)

    Mediumship

    (I'm able to communicate with human spirits and spirits of other dimensions and “cross” them over if needed.

    In a trance channeling state, the beings channeling can convey messages from spirits of those who have passed.)

    Automatic writing

    (Gaining messages or answers through channeled writing.)

    Clairtangency

    (Gathering information by touching objects or people)

    Clairalience 

    (The ability to smell unexplained scents and/or smell scents related to spirit)

    Clairgustance

    (Receiving information from spirit via unexplained taste)

  • My "big six" in my birth-chart is as following in the whole sign house system:

    Sun in Pisces; 4H

    Moon in Virgo; 10H

    Ascendant/rising: Sagittarius

    Mercury in Pisces; 4H

    Mars in Gemini; 7H

    Venus in Aries; 5H

  • Absolutely! It’s one of my passions.
    I’ve been investigating the paranormal since I was a teen, but joined a team in 2015 (Northern Nevada Ghost Hunters) and was part of many investigations.

    I love being able to help people find peace within paranormal activity and get an idea of what’s going on and be the mediator between spirit and our reality.

    I go in as a skeptic when I investigate and do my best to not rely solely on what I’m getting via my abilities, but also back it up with more concrete forms of evidence whether electronic, physical or otherwise.

  • My interest in astrology began in my teen years. I would beg my mom to bring me any book she could find in the library relating to astrology, the esoteric, occult or paranormal.

    However, I formally started my study of astrology in 2021 and have continued to expand my knowledge since then.

    My approach to astrological readings is based in traditional western astrological techniques while also including intuitive insight I may receive in addition to those techniques while studying charts.
