The Beginning

Before the abuse started, I was an innocent, vibrant boy full of imagination and possibility. The Roman Catholic Church didn’t just take my childhood through abuse — it attempted to sever my direct connection to the divine through spiritual conditioning. I was taught that only priests could interpret God’s will, that only they could grant access to divine love. This conditioning, carried through generations, is one of the most insidious forms of control.

​

The Trauma

From age six until eighteen, I was targeted, conditioned, and harmed in ways that were sometimes ritualized and hidden beneath religious ceremony. The trauma was so severe that my mind shielded me through dissociation, keeping many memories locked away until they surfaced in July 2022. What my abusers never realized was that even as they tried to break me, my warrior soul was protecting others, saving lives, and preserving a pure connection to divine love that no institution could ever destroy.

​

Repressed Memories and Awakening

​

When my memories returned, I made a profound choice — to leave behind a successful career as a technology executive and dedicate every resource to healing. I understood that this journey wasn’t only about me. My greater purpose was to break cycles of generational trauma and help others reclaim their direct connection to divine love.

 

Through this journey, I discovered something extraordinary: true spirituality requires no intermediaries. The same divine universe that protected me as a child now guides me directly, downloading wisdom faster than thought, affirming it through unmistakable embodied responses.

 

I learned that every human being is born divine — worthy of direct connection to love, light, and truth. Any institution that claims exclusive access to that connection perpetuates deception.

 

The Healing

 

This guidance led me back to jewelry making — an art I first learned at Camp Saint Malo, one of the places where I was harmed. What was once a reminder of trauma has been alchemized into a channel for healing.

 

Through Spirit, I was guided to minerals, numerology and other sacred practices that help survivors reclaim their power. Citrine and Turquoise emerged as a central stones — carrying emotional healing, renewed creativity, and abundance, perfectly aligned with what survivors need to rebuild their lives. Every piece I create is crafted through sacred ritual — blessed with prayer, meditation, and intentional numerical patterns that act as spiritual technologies for transformation.

 

The Offering

This is why I founded Energy of Tribe and AspenMichael.com. More than jewelry, it is a living transmission of strength, healing, and truth. Our first offering, the Angel Armor collection, was born as spiritual armor for survivors — each piece a declaration that what was meant to destroy us becomes the very fire that protects us.

 

When you wear my jewelry, you connect to an ancient lineage of resilience, to the strength of countless survivors, and to your own divine nature. You join a tribe that transcends time and space — a tribe of warriors, healers, and evolving souls who choose light over darkness, truth over silence, and love over fear.

​

This is my truth. This is my offering. And this is my vow: that even the deepest wounds can become wellsprings of healing, that cycles of trauma can be broken, and that direct divine connection is our birthright.

 

We are the Tribe of Survivors. Together, we rise.
