Your grief has wisdom here.
Step into the sacred portal.
I’m a pet loss & grief guide working with identity thresholds, utilizing astrology, herbalism, gentle movement, and breath to transmute the otherworldly into something tangible.
Your grief has wisdom. It’s part of the cosmic makeup of our elders, those who came before us, and the future version of yourself. Grief isn’t something we can avoid if we’re daring enough to love deeply and without bounds.
Love doesn’t have to stop after the end, but it does change. That change can be beautiful and full of courage, meaning, and depth.
Courtney Trethric
Hellenistic Astrologer & Community Herbalist
Owner of The Cosmic CraftYou’re not wrong for falling apart.
It’s only natural that you’re longing to resist the change, or sitting in fear because the future is scary without this part of yourself. Grief lends us the opportunity to shift into someone new entirely.
This sacred threshold is best walked in tandem with someone who knows the way.
Someone who can provide illumination on the path laid out by the stars. A guide who is familiar with the herbs that show up as friends along the journey, and who can provide access to tools that invite ease and regulation.
I specialize in walking animal guardians through their full spectrum of grief surrounding pet loss.
My entire life’s work is focused on guiding people through quiet endings, identity shifts, grief, and major life transitions using a unique, integrative, astroherbal body-based approach.
This work honors change as something you live through, not something you think your way out of.
MY OFFERINGS
A Bond Beyond Words
1:1 Pet Loss Astrology Reading
Your bond with your animal was written in the stars long before this loss. In this intimate session, we map the cosmic architecture of your grief; your chart, their passing, and the meaning woven between. That way you can begin to wade forward with clarity and tenderness.
The Crossing
4-Week Pet Grief Cohort
Grief this deep deserves the time and space to move through it with intention. Over four weeks, we wade through the waters of pet loss together: in community, in ritual, and in the slow, tender work of learning to carry what cannot be left behind. For folks looking to integrate their loss.
Still Waters
Free Weekly Facebook Livestream
A free weekly gathering built for those moving through the murky waters of pet grief. Every Friday, we meet in a soft, unhurried space where your loss is witnessed and your bond is honored. No expertise required. Just a heart that's still learning to carry this.
What you can expect:
I offer personalized support during times of transition, and specialize in pet loss and anticipatory grief of lossing an animal companion. I help clarify what is ending, what is emerging, and how to step into the next chapter with intention.
My modalities are old and wise, making it easy for your body to receive.
We’ve walked underneath the stars for all of eternity. Herbs have been existing alongside us as faithful companions, teachers, and allies to walk with us — especially when life gets tough.

Astrology
To help you understand what season you are in, what chapter is ending, and what might be coming your way. I’m a Hellenistic astrologer, and I find that the whole sign house system resonates best. Astrology gives me answers for all of lifes questions — but especially why. -
To support your body and nervous system through stress, grief, and change with remedies matched to your constitution and current transits. I’ll look at your astrological birth chart and locate any energetic imbalances or deficiencies. This astroherbal technique makes the herbal ally chosen more likely to be a good fit for your constitution.
-
To restore steadiness, presence, and connection when life feels unsettled. My special interest in the world of yoga has always been yin and restorative. I’m currently deepening my breath-mind navigation practice and obtaining certification in Tulum, Mexico, in the spring of 2026.

You don't need to call yourself spiritual to feel the pull toward something more intentional. Ritual is simply the practice of showing up with purpose and I have been doing it, in one form or another, my entire life. From ancestral altar work to protection workings to the everyday magic of the words we speak over ourselves and others, my spellcraft is adaptable, earth-rooted, and deeply personal. This work meets you exactly where you are, with no ideology attached and no belief system required.

Be the kind of ancestor you want for your family and community.
This is a space designed to feel unhurried and human. Walking through the portal of grief is best done alongside someone that already knows the way.
By sitting with uncomfortable emotions, especially grief, you’re setting yourself up for a more regulated life. You never “heal from” grief, but instead, learn to sit with it. In making space for grief and big emotions, and getting to know them like an old friend — you’re changing the outcome of your life. There will be a clear before and after in your own lifes framework. The spiritual and physical will no longer be severed in two, but will exist harmoniously.
I deeply believe in accessibility and have a robust catalog of no-cost offerings. I write a weekly Substack that will always and forever remain free of charge. I host downloadable content on my website, meditations on YouTube & Insight Timer, and I’m currently working on a podcast. I also donate 1 free reading per quarter for those in marginalized communities.
