One word opens. Ancient wisdom transforms.
What If a Word Could Shatter What You Think You Know?
You've always sensed it. A word lands differently for you than it does for everyone else. You pause where others skim. You hear something underneath — a resonance, a whisper, a thread pulling you deeper than the dictionary ever went.
You're not imagining it. Words hold more than definitions. They carry baggage: history, distortion, and buried truth. They've been flattened by Power-Over, stripped of their roots, handed back to you with the living meaning drained out.
What happens when you stop accepting the surface and follow a word all the way down the rabbit-hole?
One Word. Then Everything Shifts.
Most spiritual workshops give you someone else's answers. Wyrd Words begins with a single word.
That word gets cracked open — through etymology, ancient wisdom, and the Akashic Records — until what you thought you knew falls away and something truer, wyrder emerges. Not a definition to memorize. Not a concept to master. A living threshold we walk through together, as alive, filled with transformative motion.
The first section of each workshop cracks the nut of belief. Cheryl takes one word — just one — and traces it to its roots. Where did it come from? What did it originally mean? What happened to it along the way? What does it mean now, seen through the dynamic energetic view of the Akashic Records?
Here's what that sounds like:
First 10 minutes of Ambiguity:
First 10 minutes of Autonomy:
In the second section, Cheryl opens the Akashic Records for group guidance — approximately 45 minutes. Cheryl suggests topic-related questions, participants ask questions, and the Records respond to what's arising in the room. What emerges often resonates with everyone in ways no one expected.
You join knowing what a word means. Cracked open, you leave having discovered who you are now becoming.
Not a Lecture. Not a Lesson.
Wyrd Words is not content to consume. There are no slides, no handouts, no fixed definitions to write down and take home. This is not someone telling you what a word means. This is collective exploration — presence, not performance — where a word reveals itself in real time.
You don't need to prepare. You don't need expertise. You need curiosity and willingness to let go of what you thought you knew.
What Opens When a Word Becomes a Threshold
Something shifts when you stop treating words as fixed and start experiencing them as living.
People who come to Wyrd Words find their relationship with language itself changes. You start hearing what's underneath — not just in workshops but in conversations, in books, in the words you use to describe your own life.
You experience the Akashic Records through collective exploration — not theory, not instruction, but the felt sense of the Records responding to shared inquiry.
You discover unexpected insights from shared resonance. What opens for someone else opens something in you that you didn't know was waiting.
And something less definable: the shift from consuming definitions to being present with what a word reveals. From I KNOW to I LEARN. That shift doesn't stay in the workshop. It follows you home.
Where Wyrd Words Lives
Wyrd Words is part of the Roots circle within The Witness Community — alongside Akashic Record Insights and the Wyrd Wisdom Workbooks.
When you join Wyrd Words, you receive access to the full Wyrd Wisdom Workbooks library, with new workbooks added regularly. The workbooks draw on ancient wisdom and the Akashic Records to explore the spiritual questions that shape a human life — companions for integration where the living meaning from workshops finds root in your daily practice.
Wyrd Words is also available within the Records circle for those who have joined the Akashic Records Immersion.
Words explored in Wyrd Words feed The Lexicon over the Rubicon — a living glossary where every entry traces a word to its origin, reveals what Power-Over corrupted, and reclaims the meaning that was always there.
When Words Meet
Wyrd Words workshops happen live, three times a month.
All workshops are held on Zoom. You'll need a camera and microphone — being seen and heard is part of how we witness each other. A quiet space where you can be fully present.
All gatherings are listed in US Pacific Time.
When you join The Witness Community, every workshop is recorded and available in your student dashboard — current and past. If you miss one, the rhythm continues. There are no levels, no sequential curriculum.
A Lifetime of Falling Into the Deeper Road of Words
I'm Cheryl Marlene.
I've worked with the Akashic Records for almost thirty years. For just as long, I've been falling into words — following them past the surface, through the etymology, into the living, energetic meaning.
Wyrd Words is where these two loves meet. The Akashic Records and the deeper road of words. Every workshop, I take a single word and let it open — not to deliver an answer but to discover, together, what none of us could have found alone.
For me, this is shared exploration at the threshold where language meets the Akashic Records.
Come As You Are
You don't need experience with the Akashic Records. You don't need to know what wyrd means. You don't need to have read anything or prepared anything.
Akashic Record Insights is free and open to all — a bi-monthly gathering where Cheryl opens the Akashic Records and responds to questions from participants. If you want to experience the rhythm before you commit, start there.
Or step through directly.
Questions Before You Enter
What happens in a Wyrd Words workshop?
Cheryl takes a single word and cracks it open — through etymology, ancient wisdom, and the Akashic Records. The first section is exploration: where the word came from, what happened to it, what it reveals through the dynamic energetic view. The second section opens the Akashic Records for approximately 45 minutes of group guidance. What emerges often reaches beyond what anyone expected.
Do I need experience with the Akashic Records?
No. Wyrd Words is a direct experience of the Akashic Records — you don't need background or training to participate. The Records meet you where you are.
How often do workshops happen?
Three times a month, live on Zoom. All workshops are recorded and available in your student dashboard.
What kind of words do you explore?
One word per workshop. The words come from everywhere — ancient roots, everyday language, spiritual vocabulary, words you thought you knew. The point is not the word itself but what opens when you follow it past the surface.
Do I need to prepare anything?
No. Come as you are. Curiosity is the only requirement.
What if I miss a workshop?
No problem. There are no levels and no sequential curriculum. Recordings are available in your student dashboard. The rhythm continues and you rejoin when you can.
Is Wyrd Words connected to The Witness Community?
Yes. Wyrd Words is part of the Roots circle within The Witness Community. When you join Wyrd Words, you also receive access to the full Wyrd Wisdom Workbooks library. Is Wyrd Words connected to The Witness Community? is also available within the Records circle for those in the Akashic Records Immersion.
What's the difference between Wyrd Words and The Lexicon over the Rubicon?
Wyrd Words is the live experience — a word explored in real time through etymology, ancient wisdom, and the Akashic Records, in community. The Lexicon over the Rubicon is the written record — living definitions that trace words to their roots, reveal what Power-Over corrupted, and reclaim the meaning that was always there. The two feed each other. What opens in a workshop may become a Lexicon entry. What lives in the Lexicon deepens what happens in the next workshop.
