Current Patreon Members: you will NOT be charged during the hiatus.People wanting to subscribe: Patreon will be open to new subscriptions on Sunday 8th September from 9am GMT+2 to 9pm GMT+2. New subscribers, you will be charged only once for access to the full catalogue. If you miss this window (girl damn!!) Just DM meI'm feeling called to be quiet for a bit. I'm in a massive growth stage where I'm studying and applying knowledge in traditional western astrology and human design. I will be sharing resources on IG (both mukundwa_ and iswis_podcast, mostly the latter. the former is mostly for ridiculous memes), and will make an astrology and human design highlight where you can find everything. I wouldn't have known that I need rest + to indulge myself in INTENSE study, research and investigation if not for human design + astrology indicating the same. Therefore I cannot overemphasise the importance of following your curiosity if you are feeling a bit rudderless and in need of direction! I've been pretty bored and aimless the past 2 years and all of this has given me a new lease of life 💫 hoping the same for you 🙏🏾 Please send me stuff that's interesting you, recommend dating shows (I'm going to watch MAFS South Africa, wish me good luck!) and say hi on IG DM or Patreon group chat.Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mukundwa.the.mystic Instagram: for more ISWIS musings follow https://www.instagram.com/iswis_podcast .
