🌿 “You Can’t Pay the Rent With Good Vibes”: Why Sacred Business Mastery Might Just Be the Best Thing Since Sliced Avocado

By Jonathan Wigley

Let’s talk about sacred business. Yes, you heard right. Not business with a briefcase and Bluetooth headset, but business with prayer beads, beeswax candles, and probably an Oracle deck or two.

You see, I recently received a love letter disguised as a marketing email from the one and only Angell Deer—a modern-day forest bard who clearly believes that capitalism and ceremony can be soulmates. And, to be honest, it felt like a warm cup of cacao and a slap of truth all at once.

Let me break it down for you. The gist?

Being broke is not spiritual. And being abundant doesn’t mean you’re the CEO of the Greed Industrial Complex.

Somewhere between Reiki certifications and full moon manifesting, we were sold the myth that real spiritual folk survive off moonlight and mung beans alone. That if you dare charge for your healing gifts, you’re basically putting a price tag on enlightenment and should be banished to the corner of the astral plane without dinner.

But Angell Deer is here to say nah, fam. Nature doesn’t hustle. She flows. The bees pollinate and eat, the forest gives and grows, and the river doesn’t apologize for freaking existing. (Also, have you seen how much a squirrel stores? That’s abundance planning, right there.)

🌀 Introducing: Sacred Business Mastery

The 9-Month Journey for Spiritpreneurs Who Are Tired of Selling Their Souls for Exposure

This isn’t some “slap-a-brand-on-your-yoga-class-and-make-6-figures-by-Friday” gig. This is a ceremonial path. A ritual-rich, community-powered, soul-aligned adventure where you learn to build your sacred business without spiritually gaslighting yourself every time you send an invoice.

Think:

Monthly themes that align with the moon and your marketing strategy.
Rituals, journal prompts, and meditations to keep your chakras—and your brand—balanced.
Group coaching that won’t make you want to hex your accountant.
Actual support so you don’t keep shape-shifting your vision like a people-pleasing chameleon in a kaleidoscope.

Basically: healing work that heals you, too. Wild concept, I know.

⚡️ Starts August 1st. So hop on the sacred train before it leaves the incense-scented station.

🦌 New Essay Drop: The Deer and the Stars

No, it’s not a new psychedelic indie band—though it should be.

This piece by Angell explores how real spiritual power isn’t about levitating above your landlord’s emails. It’s about rooting. Grieving. Showing up. It’s about staying grounded enough to compost your ego and maybe even pay your bills on time.

A must-read if you’ve ever:

Thought “high vibes only” sounded a bit… emotionally avoidant.
Wanted to burn sage and the patriarchy.
Been torn between astral projecting and updating your website.

🌕 BONUS: 1:1 Mentorship Spot Open (Like, Just One)

If group ceremonies aren’t your jam and you want the VIP spiritual mentorship journey—complete with ancestral healing, soul remembering, and probably some very holy weeping—Angell’s got one 1:1 spot left this year.

Only five humans get this per annum. Four are already sipping pine tea in deep transformation. Will you be number five?

Final Thoughts from My Incense-Filled Heart

If you’re exhausted by your sacred work feeling more like sacred struggle, this might be your sign (and not just the one you pulled from your Tarot deck).

Sacred Business Mastery is for the healers, the intuitives, the barefoot entrepreneurs with burnout and a dream. It’s capitalism with soul. Strategy with spirit. Branding with a blessing.

And yes, it’s also wildly well-written, held by someone who gets it, and more aligned than my spine after a good chiropractor visit.

👉 Seriously, just go check it out: www.sacredpaths.earth

Because let’s face it…
Your purpose deserves more than exposure.
Your bank account deserves more than prayers.
And you deserve to thrive—not just survive.
