A note from Scotty
Rooted in love.
Open to the mystery.
My moral roots are Christian: love your neighbor, tell the truth, practice mercy, and put your beliefs to work through kindness. My philosophy is agnostic—I believe there is room to seek God while being honest about what I do not know. I am a non-denominational, New Age spiritual pastor, and I do not fit neatly inside one tradition.
I approach spiritual life with a student’s curiosity and a ritual practitioner’s care. A candle, a cord, a spoken promise: ordinary things can help us give form to something deeply felt. I’m drawn to nature, symbolism, and the ways people have made meaning across generations. Your ceremony begins with what these things mean to you.
“You do not have to have the universe figured out
to make a loving promise within it.”
Love in action✦Honest questions✦Meaningful ritual✦A hopeful future
The curiosity behind the practice
Perhaps wonder is
a way of listening.
I wonder whether there is a language beneath our languages—a thread running through human stories, symbols, and the spirit of each age. I do not know what that language is. Seeking it is part of my spiritual life.
I’m drawn to mystical Christianity’s search for inner understanding, to questions about consciousness, and to ideas such as simulation theory. Quantum mechanics also inspires my curiosity about reality. These are places where I ask questions, not proof of my spiritual beliefs.
I want that curiosity to lead somewhere kind: toward greater knowledge, wiser use of technology, and a more advanced future with more room for human dignity, creativity, and love.

The compass star
The Star in tarot inspires hope and renewal; the compass gives that hope a direction. Both remind me to keep learning.
The heart
The Lovers in tarot evoke relationship, choice, and shared values. For me, the heart means putting love into practice.
