Wyrd Astro Body Mystery School (WABOMS)

Wyrd Astro Body Mystery School (WABOMS) is a year-round astrological, psychophysical and magical training ground. WABOMS anchors art, healing and animist spirit work within the celestial and chthonic threshold techniques of Nate Alden Speare’s Six Imaginal Zones and AstroErotics.

The “Descending Summer Cycle” begins July 19th, with live group calls each Sunday for six weeks and a Discord community chat.

Register for the Ascending Autumn Cycle

WABOMS is a living mystery school where astrology, the erotic imagination, the body's deep wisdom, and the cracked and fractured land beneath your feet speak to each other. And through that conversation, you find your way back to yourself, to the seasons, to something larger than your own striving.

We meet in six-week seasonal cycles, year-round, anchored to the solstices, equinoxes and cross-quarter days of the northern hemisphere wheel. There are no prerequisites- you can enter at any cycle, at any season. What's required is curiosity, a willingness to be changed, and a body.

Ascending Autumn Cycle

For the Ascending Autumn Cycle of WABOMS, we will cross the threshold of the September equinox, activating the animate spirit guardians of the West cardinal direction.

This cycle moves through the imaginal zone of Directionality–the territory of how the image of your soul aims to ripen, who and what an image aims to become, the telos of person and image. This investigation also includes the chthonic counterparts of the Directionality zone, which are divagation and palimpsests.

Divagation, in this context, refers to the capacity to wander, to embark on generative tangents, and to see those tangents themselves as part of your ripening. Palimpsests here means the inherent plurality of psyche, soul, image and experience.

We’ll work with Venusian erotics–the aspects of Venus and Mars that each of us are here to incarnate, and the cultivation of each person’s unique intent for intimacy according to their astrological signatures. This will be the first part of the erotic alchemy alembic that runs through the end of Scorpio.

The Venusian erotic of this cycle teaches us about deep relating, embodying ‘the lover’ beyond how you’ve been conditioned to play a gender role. Your Venus-Mars signatures become an expression of your genius when you engage this erotic alchemy.

Our inquiry this cycle draws from raw lineage foundations mapped by Daniel Giamario, activated through exercises on the floorboards as we conduct our own psychophysical Venus/Mars relationship intent work. It includes moving beyond the obstacles of gender indoctrination and courtship compulsion.

A threshold spirit governs this territory: a chthonic guardian of the September equinox and the Westward direction. You’ll meet them in your own time, through vision, ceremony, and the body’s own knowing.

September 6th—October 11th. Weekly live group calls. Creative and ritual assignments. A community of fellow travelers. No prior experience required — only curiosity, a willingness to be moved, and a body.

Dates of the weekly live calls (all at 12pm EST): September 6th, September 13th, September 20th, September 27th, October 4th, October 11th.

The Six Imaginal Zones™️

At the heart of WABOMS is a cosmogram I developed through years of practice and graduate research: the Six Imaginal Zones. Each zone maps a quality of image-making—Definition, Directionality, Affect, Signature, Scale, Language—onto the chakras of the human body, the signs of the tropical zodiac, and the energy centers of the land itself.

Each zone also has an underworld counterpart: the fault line where that energy center bleeds into the organs, bones, and skin of the body and the Earth. In WABOMS, each six-week cycle is anchored to a particular zone and its seasonal moment. The work lives in your body, in your creative practice, and in the ground beneath your feet.

AstroErotics™️

AstroErotics™️ is the thread of WABOMS that works with the planets as erotic forces- archetypal powers that become allies in every area of your life and in your service to the world around you. Learning to take responsibility for your own erotic energy is one of the most direct paths to self-knowledge.

We work with the erotic because it's where our strongest emotions and most charged experiences live. Each planet carries a specific quality of desire, a particular way of experiencing longing, pleasure, and union. Lunar Sex courts emotional depth and ancestral exchange. Neptunian Sex reaches for the dissolution of separateness into something vast. Solar Sex celebrates and uplifts the unique genius and prowess of the being you are.

In WABOMS, these planetary erotic realities are explored through the astrological masks carved for my residency in Bali—one mask per planet—and through movement, image-making, and creative assignments that bring these forces into your actual embodied life. This is a cosmology of desire situated within a living mystery school—a rigorous devotional practice that honors the erotic as a portal to self-knowledge, creative freedom, and service to the living world.

In 2025, Nate Alden Speare traveled to Bali for an artist's residency with mask makers and theatre artists Per Brahe, and Erik Wahyudi, Ketut, and the Bali Theatre Work Center. Nate was certified as a practitioner and teacher of the visionary Poleng Mask Work developed by Per Brahe. The planetary masks—wood-carved and ceremonially made—are now part of Nate works with clients and students.
