Our Story

The Vision

The Golden Dreams of Olam haBa magical planner is an accompaniment to your unfolding dreams and visions of 5781, summoning the magic of gold to bring brightness and vision to our days. It was created by Nomy Lamm and Rebekah Erev with a community of Jewish priestexxes and mystics, and whether you identify as such or not, you become a contributor as soon as you write your dreams, visions, and plans into this magical portal.

This calendar/dream journal integrates Hebrew, Gregorian and Moon calendars, and offers tools for integrating spiritual practices into your day to day life. These are tools that come from Jewish lineage, from the seasons and cycles of the earth, from radical queer community, and our own sacred bodies.

Nuts & Bolts

We’ve provided some loose instructions to guide your use of the Olam haBa calendar. This includes a framework for working with:

• The weekly cycle of Shabbat (the day of rest)

• The monthly cycle of Rosh Chodesh (the Jewish holiday that begins the month, marked by the new moon)

• Jewish holidays

• The Netivot (Hebrew priestess archetypes)

• Hebrew letters

• Tarot cards

• Astrological signs associated with each month.

We frame all of this within the vision of Olam haBa, The World to Come. Olam haBa is a concept in Judaism that we interpret as a time when all the earth’s inhabitants live reciprocally with each other and the earth, healing the traumas of oppression, allowing every being to live in full expression. 

Each month begins with the full calendar for the Hebrew month, so you can see the big picture of what lies ahead, with its mystical associations. Turn the page, take in the month’s illustration, and read the interpretations of one of our beloved mystical meaning-makers (see an example here). They share their wisdom about the month to come, and offer a ritual, practice, recipe, or meditation to support you. Then you will get a week-by-week breakdown of the month with plenty of space to write not only your appointments and social calendar, but your dreams and unfolding magic. A full page for each Shabbat gives you space to process what has happened during the week and integrate what you are receiving.
