Spellin Spells is a continuation and response to Openi’s previous work, From Shadows, which invites audience to participate in the vulnerable practice of feeling your feels and healing past traumas.
After deep reflection and centering, Spellin Spells is an answer to the questions: How am I channeling my energy? What do I want to manifest in my present and future?
Openi shares selected mantras drawings from their personal life practice, and o ers oracle bone manuscripted as talisman. Spellin Spells focuses on the power of our own words, energy, and intention in shaping our present and future realities.
Spelling is spells.
Write that shit down and watch it happen.
