My name is Patti Andrasak and I would like to welcome you to my website, The Spiral Paths.

I live in Saratoga County, NY, with my awesome husband, and our two lovable French Bulldogs.

I am a Tarot consultant, Usui Reiki practitioner, master level, Animal Reiki practitioner, master level, and Shamanic practitioner. I also am an artisan of wildcrafting which are crafts created from things I find in nature. I have always been interested in a more holistic approach to health and wellness. I believe Nature can provide us with everything we need to heal ourselves. I also believe there are times when we do need extra help from modern medicine, but I personally like to heal myself, more holistically, if possible, first.

Over the years my education and interests have expanded, and evolved into more spiritual and healing modalities and I wanted the name for my website along with the content I share, to reflect that too.  The ancient symbol of the Spiral is very meaningful to me since my study into Shamanism began. It symbolizes my life’s journey—sometimes inward, uncovering layers of who I really am, digging deep into my heart, healing and learning to sit with my truth, and sometimes outward, as I explore new paths, people, and passions. It reminds me that growth isn’t linear and I don’t have to choose one path. Each curve is a rhythm of return and expansion, a dance between soul and world, always guiding me home in a new way. All of the aforementioned are healing modalities and honor our intuition, energy, nature, seasons, the elements, animal and ancestral wisdom and teachings, and our Spiritual side which are all important to me. Other interests I will be sharing are in folklore, gardening, astrology, herbs, cooking, sacred objects, and crafts. Really everything Magickal! I am hoping to grow our community with like-minded people, where we can connect, share our knowledge and interests, creating new friendships from around in the world.
