There’s a strange pressure to be seen everywhere.
To be posting. Presenting. Performing.
And yet — I find myself choosing the invisible, again and again.
Not because I have nothing to say, but because I want what I do say to come from stillness, not urgency.
I’ve been told it’s necessary to “get with the times,” as if the likes of my archaic soul must bend to the feed. That to grow, I need a presence on social media. But here’s the thing: I’m not here to chase the algorithm. I’m here to tend to the sacred. What I offer doesn’t thrive in the fast pace of likes and loops — it blooms in stillness, in presence, in spaces where depth is chosen over reach. I’m not against technology. I’m simply unwilling to dilute my magic for it.
Here’s the honest, channeled truth: I’m tending to the parts of me that don’t belong in the noise.
I’m tending to something slower, older, and much more sacred than the daily scroll.
So, in devotion and clarity, here are the reasons I stay away from the feed:
To channel clearly, I need space.
Social media moves too fast — it fills the air with noise before my soul has had a chance to speak.
I believe in pouring presence into what I love — not scattering it for likes.
I do not exist to be consumed. I exist to create, to connect, to remember.
Not all of me is meant for display. Some parts bloom in private altars and unseen realms.
Some wisdom only speaks in shadow, not spotlight.
The more I scroll, the more I forget the sound of my own voice.
I unplug to remember.
My rhythms are lunar.
My inspiration flows with the seasons.
I answer to my heart, my breath, my guides — not algorithms.
Comparison kills creativity and sense of self.
My life-force flows without impedment when I’m not busy looking sideways.
I offer living, breathing art.
Not everything sacred wants to be packaged or posted.
Some things are too holy for hashtags.
The Digital world can be a time and energy suck.
My energy is precious — and when I conserve it, I can pour it into offerings that actually nourish.
I don’t need to be everywhere.
I just want to be here in the moment — with those who feel this resonance.
Not performative. Just sacred.
Spirit doesn’t need a platform.
The cosmos do not need curation.
The messages still come.
The magic still flows.
So if you’re reading this now, you’ve stepped into the quieter side of things — a place beyond the noise.
I’m so glad you’re here.
This is where I share the deeper work — the rituals, the sigils, the soul whispers.
Some of it flows freely through The Mirror Blog.
Some of it lives inside The Veil Vault, my sacred member’s circle. on Substack.
Either way, you’re welcome.
Am I merely justifying why I steer clear of the classic social media platforms and selfies?Maybe. But maybe I’m also reclaiming something. Maybe I’m refusing to engage in a paradigm that rewards noise over nuance, reach over resonance. I’m not here to argue with the world — I’m choosing to move differently within it.
To play Devil’s advocate — yes, there are real-world setbacks to moving differently. I’ve felt them. Visibility brings opportunity, and in choosing quiet, I’ve watched some of those doors stay closed. In a world built for the loud, stillness can look like irrelevance. Choosing depth over exposure, presence over performance — it isn’t always rewarded. Not externally, anyway.
All of this said...
I honor the hush over the rush.
Magic can be manifest without metrics.
I say, let’s stay wild, weird, and wise — exactly as we are no as an image of who standards say we need be.
With love between the lines,
Jeanette
