Let me introduce myself!
I‘m Jasmine, but you can call me Jass.
I’m a tea-fueled writer, researcher, and voracious reader with an inquisitive mind that’s interested in a wide variety of topics.
Here on Golden Threads of Wisdom, however, I’m focusing on weaving together mythology, herstory, and the esoteric and occult.
More specifically, I’m currently researching the women in the esoteric and occult as well as diving deeper into fields such as astrology, Tarot, and witchcraft and weaving those together with mythology and herstory.
Why the name Golden Threads of Wisdom? Let’s break it down!
Gold
Gold is a sought-after precious metal that has become more valuable over time, akin to wisdom.
It’s hiding in the ground–sometimes several meters below the surface–and has to be dug out (hopefully without damaging the Earth), just like the occult (hidden) knowledge has and still is searched for and explored.
Gold is also part of the name of the secret society, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (aka the Golden Dawn), which I’ve come in contact with as I’ve explored astrology, Tarot, and witchcraft more deeply and am fascinated by.
Threads
Threads have been used throughout ancient and medieval times, often by women, to sew and weave tapestries that tell stories, both real (historical and everyday events) and fictional (myths).
One of its basic usages is to interweave with other threads to create something different (like a tapestry), sturdier, and more whole, akin to weaving together mythology and herstory with the esoteric and occult can do the same.
Wisdom
Wisdom is what we can gain from diving deeper into mythology, herstory, and the esoteric and occult.
Wisdom is what we can find at the intersection of these fields.
Wisdom is what I ultimately seek in all the research I do.

My story
With Venus in Scorpio in the 9th House, I’ve always had a deep fascination with the mysterious, occult (the hidden), and deeper knowledge.
While I’ve come in contact with fields like astrology and witchcraft (on and off since my teens) and have used Tarot for over a decade, it wasn’t until 2025 that I began to feel the desire to know more, to explore wider, to dive deeper.
That’s why I started Golden Threads of Wisdom. This is my place where I gather the research I do, the knowledge I excavate, and the wisdom I gain from it all.
This will be a long journey but a very worthwhile one.
