"My wife and I had struggled to get renovation work done for our house so we could move forward with selling it. It seemed everything that could go wrong or cause a delay was happening. Working with Amaya, we discovered that while we had a good relationship with the land spirit, our house spirit felt deeply disrespected and was causing a bit of mischief as a result. Upon taking Amaya’s spiritual relationship repair advice, within a week everything began to change. Within a month not only was the work finished, but we received an offer much higher than we were asking for the home. Run, don’t walk, if you need spirit work assistance. Amaya can truly help you with these relationships, and it creates tangible outcomes."

"I do routine magical Jupiter and Mercury remediation (rule my luminaries + angles, both debilitated), as well as w Venus (Saturn-ruled L2). I just had my unemployment case reopen after months of nothing and got over 5k added to my account yesterday."

"On Palm Sunday, a holy green-bough-bearing day, I had a reading with folk witch, astrologer-animist Amaya Rourke. Amaya’s work plucks an ancient fabled silver harp that many, I think, are longing to hear when it comes to courting the celestial spheres. It’s a song about being in relationship with the star stories and scapes, and therefore with our own scintillating selves. In the Moon Haven I felt at times that I sipped tea by the heart of the town’s end wisewoman, and at others that I floated in the soundest of vessels through an ocean of sky with a star-sybil at the prow, Saturnine yet soft. I am still humming from the journey! I highly recommend Amaya’s work, and getting yourself a reading!"

"For those who engage with spirits and ancestors, I cannot recommend the spirit work of Amaya highly enough. My family had been plagued for some time by an unwell ancestral spirit that was masquerading in various forms. Over a series of sessions with Amaya, she not only positively identified the spirit, but also gave us options for either repair or protective banishing. Sadly, we had to choose banishment, as the spirit was not amenable to repair. Yet, Amaya walked us through the process and checked in to make sure that we were okay and taking care of ourselves. It’s been three months disturbance free in my household, and the waves of gratitude I feel could light up the Moon. Thank you Amaya for your fierce care and insight! "

"Anyone who has experienced spiritual initiation knows just what kind of dizzying labyrinth you accidentally fall into. My spirit court must be watching over me, because they pulled me into the guidance of Amaya. She quickly identified what I was experiencing, and was able to give me pragmatic recommendations for having an easier time walking the path. While it didn’t take away the unpredictable nature of the initiation, it did help steady me to complete the process in the healthiest way I could imagine. Amaya is the perfect companion to walk beside you if you are in spiritual transition."

“As a younger-career astrologer and budding animist and theurgist, working with Amaya has proven to be one of the best investments in education and guidance I’ve made. The amount of knowledge she has to disperse is encyclopedic, and it balances out with her immense capacity for empathy and honesty. She knows that everyone’s path is different, recognises it in her soul and adjusts accordingly in response to her clients. While extremely Saturnian and disciplined, Amaya’s deep love for her work and her students makes sessions with her grounded, practical and scalable. I am honored to call her my beloved mentor, and so happy to also call her a friend and colleague. The results of working with Amaya have helped me grow as an astrologer personally and professionally. With her indispensable advice and assistance, I was accepted as a first time speaker at an astrology conference! I’ve also learned where my strengths and confidences lie as a practitioner, and that alone, is worth the cost of working with her.”

"I’ve been in the occult and magical community for over 20 years, and still it was inspiriting and refreshing to work with Amaya. Rare is it to find someone who is both skillful, wildly connected to spirits, and down-to-earth. Our session focused on midwifing a new spirit relationship that was painfully breach in the metaphorical birth canal. Through both divination and spirit work, Amaya was able to guide me in getting the relationship turned the right way. From there, the relationship rapidly blossomed into something beautiful I could never have predicted. For grounded and wise spirit negotiation, I’ll be returning to Amaya again in the future."

"Amaya's insights and lofty story telling is grounded with bits of endearing commentary. She's helped remind me of how all of this work is a remembering of my connection to the divine. It's slightly overwhelming to hear of the work I am intended to do and I have so many questions I can't form words to. I think this is a wonderful problem to have. Anyways go get a reading from her. I was feeling deflated but Amaya's help me find the wind to get me moving again."

"Amaya is hilarious and no-nonsense. My magical path consultation with her was like speaking with a magical being of indeterminate age that I met out of nowhere at the edge of a wildflower meadow, and she handed me some juicy apples and sharp insights. I came out of our session with practical and applicable next steps for breathing life back into my artistic and magical practices after a year of wrestling with a difficult Pluto transit — I know I'll come back to our conversation again and again in the weeks ahead and I am deeply grateful."

"Amaya has helped illuminate very meaningful connections to parts of my chart, describing their roots in ancient mythology that offer beautiful narratives that connect to my personal energy and experiences. Her intuitive and divination abilities are also superb, which makes the readings I’ve had with her really targeted and supportive. I’m grateful for her keen insight and guidance, and love the helpful recommendations she provides for veneration practices.

"Amaya is a wealth of knowledge and experience. I came to her with tender wounds and she took exquisite care in my reading. What I really appreciate about her presence is that she is simultaneously serving no bullshit and compassionate in her approach at the same time. Her guidance and wisdom is highly valuable because it is very obvious she doesn’t just study the more-than-human metaphysical world—she has a relationship she actively cultivates with them. I’ll be recommending her work to my people and returning for readings myself in the future.

"Working with Amaya has been a both an awakening and homecoming to my deepest and wildest dreams. It is by no means easy work but Amaya tends to my emotional highs and lows like the moon, reflecting to me what I need most to see and guiding me with her light and wisdom through the darkness of creation. We are several years into our relational partnership in community building and I could not recommend Amaya enough for those who are ready to dream in real life and begin their world building journey to create a better and brighter future for present and future generations here and beyond."

“I’ve been processing my incredible reading with Amaya all day. I am feeling so resourced with practical, immensely applicable ways to navigate so many of the stars in my nativity that are almost too close and heavy for me to see by myself. My head is swirling with Arthurian-mytho-topography and a renewed empowerment over my sense of destiny and purpose. I cannot recommend Amaya enough–thank you for being my Merlin today.”

"Having it as a recording to look back on is such a blessing because I am going back and really digesting it all. There is so much knowledge bestowed, not only historical and mythological perspectives translated to a modern context but also so much practical advice. A lot of my life experience was reflected back to me in the reading, and I left it armed with a list of practices that will help me in everyday life which is such a gift. This ended up being the medicine I have been looking for and I am so grateful for Amaya, her expertise, and her approach."

"Amaya is a gifted reader: engaging, knowledgeable, wise, unconditionally accepting, and quite funny. I was immediately comfortable and able to be myself, which is a real gift when there is a potential to feel vulnerable and exposed. This reading was empowering and inspiring, providing both nuturance and actionable guidance. I appreciated the rich contex of mythology and complex, humanizing psychological implications of my star placements, as well as her personal and normalizing anecdotes for those placements that have a fearsome reputation. Insights, like fireworks, have been popping off in my mind, and, as I work to apply and integrate all I have gained in this reading, I know it will continue to stoke a process of expansion. Whether you're considering taking a class or having a reading, you will be satiated. Amaya's enthusiasm to impart the wealth of information she contains is immediately evident, and engenders excitement to take the plunge in - even if it's into an intimidating cavern, because you know she's holding your hand on the way in! I'm so glad I made the investment into this reading; I only wish I'd done it sooner! Amaya is a blessing in this world!"

"For me, Amaya closed the gap between theory and lived experience. The extent to which her delineations aligned with my feelings and experiences was eerie. I feel I am much better prepared for this next stage life thanks to her thoughtful and very applicable advice. For many women, the prospect of your twenties ending is daunting, and yet, this reading felt like a celebration of the aging process; I feel genuinely excited (and little overwhelmed) at what's yet to come. Overall, the experience felt galvanizing. I know I will return, over and over, to the recording of my reading for many years to come. I couldn't recommend Amaya more highly to people looking for a empathetic and highly knowledgeable practitioner."

"My reading was profound, clarifying, and packed with useful information and insight. Amaya described perfectly so many things about me that she'd have no way of knowing, and a lot of themes came up in the reading that specifically relate to my life and the spiritual work I've been doing of late. The reading was rich with myth, imagery, and practical advice on how to work with my stars. Highly highly recommend!"

" Having my reading done was one of the best things I’ve decided to do for myself. Amaya truly had an understanding of what people go through, especially those with Algol heavily in their chart. I felt like I could be open about everything that felt relevant to the reading. Amaya offered wonderful support materials that I find useful and activities available to heal and form a relationship with parts of yourself that may be hard to understand. I learned a lot more about myself and my fixed star parans. She helped me understand why I am who I am as a person. She provided many useful ways and resources to be the best version of myself, which is all anyone can ask for. Of course, you must apply what you’ve learned! I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders by being able to confide in someone who can understand what many cannot. I am so grateful to have had a reading with Amaya she has wonderful skills and advice to help live your journey as your whole hearted self. I would 1000% do this again!"

“Jumping on the Amaya recommendation train. I’ve never had such a thoughtful + comprehensive reading. Also: I DON’T FEEL SOFA KING CRAZY ANYMORE! So many revelations. I wish this had happened sooner, but she was worth the wait."

"During my session, I felt guided by Amaya's generous expertise of this dormant knowledge. There was so much respect and reverence for what is ancient, passed down through the epochs of time. From what I felt, I could tell she has an intimate relationship with the night sky and was a wonderfully engaging storyteller. She chose her words carefully to paint a beautiful tapestry of poetic mythos, weaving in and out of my narrative to create a beautifully vibrant and cohesive tale. I felt encouraged, witnessed, and held as she insightfully conveyed her personal mastery over the subject matter at hand. She also shared a wealth of resources and practices for those of us who want to continue our studies. I highly recommend experiencing it for yourself!"

“As I write this, evening has greeted my dwelling and with it a sense of peace. Moments ago I finished signing a lease agreement for a new home with my beloved. The time elected for the lease signing was a sweet one, with the honey drenched Sun in Libra ruling the 4th house of home and foundations, and the Queen of sweetness and harmony and balance, Venus the bright Goddess herself, ruling the Ascendant, and the 1st house, or the very essence of the moment. This election was selected by Amaya, who in the midst of her own life, paused to consider the stars and ponder the spirits and find the right time for me and my boyfriend to enter more fully into our partnership, love, and shared sovereignty. Since I started working with Amaya over a year ago, she has walked me through fire, hailstorm, thunder and lightning, hurricane and fury. Amaya has helped me conjure the finest honey, recline in the sweetest truths, and ease into my being. When I found myself anxious and despondent, she provided the medicines of reality and the magic of the beyond to help ground me in the very precise moment in time I lived in. She has helped me to be me in the very moment I find myself in, while helping me wisely, and yet freely, leap into the future. The magical support that Amaya has provided has filled my cofers, expanded my imagination and defended me from all sorts of attacks both magical and mundane. The ongoing meetings have allowed me to come back to myself and my potential as a whole, rested, beloved child of spirit and ancestors, time and time again. The forecasting is always exact. Amaya never handles astrology in a way that triggers the nervous system, but in a way that soothes, inspires, instructs, exhorts, and supports. Without Amaya, I would have squandered this year. With Amaya, I have danced with both my humanity and divinity, and begun to find the sweetness between the two. If you have the opportunity to work with her, take it. It will be your becoming.”
