Hello there my beloved’s. Happy Full Moon in Leo.
In the midst of the chaos in this deeply complex timeline we are currently living in, I wanted to send out a transmission of love and say hello <3 Sending you all big, big cozy hugs & kisses.
As we edge towards the end of Winter, I’d love to reintroduce myself, give a digital tour of Sacred Saturdaze Outpost & what we’re all about. And excitedly, to speak into existence the next series for this publication for 2025.
Meet Joh
For those of you I haven’t met - I’m Johannah Scarlet, the Founder of Sacred Saturdaze Outpost, but you can call me Joh 💜. I am Detroit-born Modern Mystic & Witch, who lives in the wild woods of Northern Minnesota 🌲🛖🌀.
I’m a Scorpio Sun 🌞 Scorpio Moon 🌚 with an Aries Rising💥. I'm a Tarot Reader 🔮 with over a decade of experience in esoteric practices 🕯️. In the Human Design Modality 👁️, I am a Manifesting Generator 2|4 🔥🌊, with a Sacral Inner Authority 🌟 .
I'm a Writer 📝, Producer ☎️, Filmmaker 📽️ and Creative Femme 🖤. I’m a participatory nature lover 🌿, an avid lunatic for the Moon 🌙, and just one human being on this planet 👋🏼 that is deeply invested in community connection 💌 , pleasures & curiosities 🤩🤓, and digging deeper into 🔦…
Into you…into me…into the mysteries of the unknown & unseen ✨…into our oneness with nature 🍄…into the depths of our underworlds 👹 that we must face…into the joyous aliveness of life❣️ …and into the celebration of this wild existence 🌈 that we are exchanging with one another ❤️🔥.









Sacred Saturdaze Outpost was created in 2020, during the height of the pandemic when I knew my soul trajectory was shifting. We were living in Minneapolis, bearing witness to the waves of grief and anger from George Floyd’s murder and a personal reckoning began. I needed to dismantle my privilege and understand my own white supremacy. I needed to be of service and re-evaluate my lifestyle choices. I needed to deepen my spiritual path and focus on my own shadow work in order to be able to increase my capacity to hold space for myself & others. I needed to expand past my usual career identity of ‘a producer that shepherds commercial videos to completion for the sake of capitalism’, and come back home to what has always inspired me to be connected with others - Storytelling.
Storytelling. The Human Experience. Narrative Expression. Uncovering origin stories. Witnessing personal mythologies. Playing within the worlds of symbolism & archetypes. Feeling into & deeply resonating with our shared complex spectrum of emotions: Love, trust, grief, rage, fear, bliss, curiosity, and pleasure (just to name a few).
Storytelling is a foundational stone of our humanity and species since the dawn of time. Our stories are what helps us realize that we have more in common than not, and that we are not alone. Our stories are what increases empathy & compassion towards one another. Our stories are what help each other move through our own lived experiences, as a mirror of understanding and truth. The intimate conversations, the heart led dialogues, the whispered knowings, the practice of active listening, intentional holding, witness sharing. Storytelling is ancestral weaving magic that threads together different timelines then brings us back home to ourselves.
I have always dreamed in visions. Seeing through my minds’ eye - like a film strip shuttering through its’ frames. My intuition speaks to me in forms of imagery. My emotions summon magical sight. I have been strengthening my divine channel and trusting what comes in more and more. My creativity is expanding into new areas. The day dreams, the night gazing, the fantasies, the musings, the divinations, the revelations, the imaginations that sweep through me give to newly found inspiration & direction. And Sacred Saturdaze Outpost is apart of this envisioned dream that continues to reveal itself and evolve.
Sacred Saturdaze Outpost
Sacred Saturdaze Outpost is a safe creative refuge that is centered on celebrating & honoring the beautiful entanglement of wild nature & modern mysticism. We are all a part of wild nature. And we all have our own intuitive magic. At the Outpost, we have two paths that we walk. And when we follow these 2 paths, it creates a third new wave of magic that ripples through us and creates revolutionary change.
🌞 The Sun Path is considered External Creative Endeavors. Focusing on community & connection, the Sun Path helps us to better participate in our environments, in our relationships & in supporting others and the planet. This looks like collaborations, events, fundraisers, marketing & social media support, live workshops, and publications like this! Using my skills as a creative advertising producer & intuitive connector, I bring a solar energy to intentional projects so they can be brought to fruition and shared with the world.
🌚 The Moon Path is considered Internal Creative Journeys. Focusing on educating ourselves on a spiritual & magical level. To be curious & ask questions. To use tools like tarot, astrology and other esoteric mediums to deepen our understanding of ourselves & each other. To invest in our own growth, from healing our inner child to our personal shadow work practices. Being on a lunar path takes on a compassionate & non-judgmental frequency so we can evolve within this lifetime, being our most authentic self to try to make this world a better place.
☕️ Connecting with other mystical, esoteric, metaphysical, intuitive entrepreneurs & businesses is a core practice of Sacred Saturdaze. I love coffee hangs - virtual & in person! Sharing resources, grassroot networking, connecting on intuitive business practices, creative collaborations, support with marketing & communications are all apart of my solar purpose with Sacred Saturdaze. If you want to connect or know someone who would be interested in working with me on some Sun Path endeavors, please reach out!
🔮 If you are looking for mystical guidance & support and would be interested in working with me on a lunar path - please reach out, even if it's just to ask a question that's been ruminating in your heart. I deeply love being in dialogue with others regarding the mysteries, the unseen and lunar energies we all move through. Whether it be through Tarot Readings, Astrology Readings, 1 on 1 spiritual consultations, Moon Sister Magic, or shared esoteric resources - I’m here & available to be of service to you.
So what is on the SSO docket for 2025?
At the end of 2023, my partner Tim & I moved to Ely, Minnesota. Way, way up north into the Superior National Forest. This has initiated a new phase of our lives on every level. Living in the wild woods full time has already started to expedite my spiritual & creative practices, while dismantling old outdated views. I am moving into new ways of living, loving, experiencing, witnessing, learning, sharing. This winter hibernation has given me the opportunity to ruminate on the next iteration & series of Sacred Saturdaze publications.
Substack & Podcast
2025 is a Hermit Year, and my soul/personality card is The Hermit too - so investing my time & energies within my personal practices are going to be crucial for me, I know this to be true. BUT AND ALSO, what I’ve learned from our ‘Seasonal Wheel of the Year’ series is that I deeply enjoy staying consistent and expressing within this Substack platform - so continuing this publication is also a definite priority. I ain’t going anywhere my beloved’s! We have so much to discuss :)
The podcast has been a very fun, social experiment of connection - but it took a lot of time & energy to research, write, record, edit, and launch these episodes that were 60+ minutes long. I couldn’t keep up - hence why there were only 2 episodes last year and we shifted to Substack Museletters only last year! I wasn’t able to be consistent with the podcast as I had hoped. But this doesn’t mean the podcast is over. This means the format is going to evolve.
Last year’s series, we focused on the Seasonal Wheel of the Year: Honoring & Celebrating the High Holidaze or Sabbats of the seasons. It was a wonderful series that I thoroughly enjoyed and I hope you did too! Please feel free to visit those publications for inspiration! They are all free & available on our Substack.
For 2025, the next series of Sacred Saturdaze Outpost will be focusing on the 12 Zodiac Signs. We will honor each astrological sign with monthly Substack Museletter as well as a curated Guided Mediation, that you can access throughout the magical season.
Our powerful Sun takes 30 days to move through each zodiac sign in the sky. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius & Pisces. Each astrological sign has it’s own energies, it’s own mythology, it’s own power & magic. You may being thinking to yourself, “Oh but I’m just a Libra, why do I need to care about all the other signs?” The truth is my beloved, we actually carry all 12 zodiac signs within our personal birth chart. And while you may not have a specific planet in every sign, each sign is still connected to a certain area of your life that matters and is important to honor and pay attention to.
We will continue to dig more into the cosmic connective tissue that is Astrology, hand in hand together. Consider this an open invitation from me to you! For us to spend more time together in this zodiacal journey of co-creation with the spirit of each zodiac sign. When we can harness its’ potent medicine, we can ask for it’s divine support as we move through our days. Because let me tell ya - we need all the support we can get baby!
Guided Meditations
What I have witnessed to be true for myself is that investing in a meditative practice, even just 10 minutes a day, can be so beneficial on literally every single level of your life - no lie. It’s supportive to all of your multidimensional levels of self: your mental state, your emotional body, your spirit essence, your energetic field, your creative flames, your sexual connections, as well as your actual literal physical body.
The scientific evidence has been clear for years. Meditation can:
Improve sleep, mood & immunity
Reduce stress & anxiety by connecting directly to your nervous system
Improve focus, memory & cognitive function
Enhance relationships & emotional health with deeper mindfulness
Promote creativity, interconnectedness & connection to nature
Fights against depression, chronic pain, & hypertension
And. AND! On top of all of the above ^^^, the biggest benefits I have personally felt in my own meditative practice have been:
Having a deeper relationship to my body. Meditation has greatly improved my ability of Attunement and Emotional Self Regulation. We are one of the few complex creatures that have the ability to control, regulate and change our breathing patterns. Meditation & breathwork have given me the skills to identify more quickly if I’m feeling emotional, activated, stressed, nervous, scattered, moving through an wave… I can recognize it and immediately drop into deeper, slower breathing which calms me down and brings me back into my present moment. Brings me back into my body. The relationship to our body intelligence is such powerful tool that we tend to ignore, even though it's speaking to us constantly. I’m getting better at listening to my body and I want this for you too.
Increased my capacity to hold discomfort. When we face conflict, a tense moment, unsettling news, a disagreement, awkward energy, or underworld feelings like fear, shame, guilt, regret, anger, confusion - by default we tend to avoid, distract, cover, ignore, etc in order to immediately remove ourselves from whatever pain point is in the present moment. When we continually do this, we become more disconnected to our intimate truths, we operate in shallow areas that are reactionary, and we separate ourselves from connections to others. Inevitably, this increases anxiety, stress, and deeper waves of discontent within ourselves.
When you have a meditative practice, and find yourself moving through these emotional, activated waves - you don’t bypass the uncomfortable feelings - instead you get better at holding them. Witnessing them. Honoring them. Transmuting them. Holding their hands to understand where they are coming from. Meditation helps you navigate beyond default egoic reactions. You strengthen your endurance & personal agency to participate within the present moment in a different way. It allows you to observe what is currently happening internally & externally so you act with more honesty and integrity. What I have witnessed to be true is that when I sit in the discomfort, I listen more. I slow down & reflect. I drop into my breathing to get into my body and ask more open ended questions. To explore the discomfort, to be curious. I am able to respect my emotional waves and recognize what’s happening so I can take care of myself within that moment instead of freaking out or disassociating. Instead of being reactionary, I have agency that allows me to be more intentional with my ability to respond, aka responsibility. I want this for you too.
“My mind wanders” “I’m not good at meditating.” “What - I just sit there are breathe?” “I keep thinking of other things.” “I can’t find the right meditation.” “I feel tired afterwards.” “I can’t keep still like that.”
It is a called a practice for a reason!
Some days, you just do some good deep breathing ✅
Some days, you just sit with your eyes closed & feel tired afterwards ✅
Some days, you do increase your awareness throughout the day ✅
Some days, you don’t like the meditation and it “doesn’t work” ✅
Some days, you forget to meditate, but jump back in a few days later ✅
Some days, your mind is everywhere else but in the actual mediation ✅
Some days, you start to notice the benefits. And they ripple through your world & your relationships. Some days, it becomes a resource, a thing to look forward to and an official tool of support ✅✅✅
A new habit pattern takes 30 days to start growing roots. There is no wrong way to meditate, as long as you give yourself the chance to try it. Intentionally carve out 10 minutes in your day to just sit in your body & breath. My hope is that you’ll give this practice a chance with our free curated meditations in our upcoming Zodiac Series and feel supported throughout the year.
