Meet the Ringleader
JAKE PRIETO — ENERGY TRANSLATOR
The Human Behind the Carnival
Salutations, ticket holder! I’m Jake Prieto. I don’t juggle fire or walk the high wire, but I do hold space for the sacred through curiosity, joy, and fun.
I created Carnival of Soul as a space where wonder and wisdom walk hand in hand. I believe in healing through joy, in divine guidance with a sense of humor, and in making magic accessible—not intimidating.
We explore possibilities together. There’s room for questions here.
How I Came to the Carnival
My practice brings formal training together with personal exploration.
Reiki Healing · Akashic Records Reading · Shamanic Journeys
I’m trained and certified in these practices. Alongside that training, I’ve developed my own approaches to crystal ball scrying and vocal channeling.
The Instruments of Wonder
Tarot and oracle cards, crystal ball scrying, Reiki, shamanic journeys, Akashic Records, and vocal channeling offer different ways to explore.
And what is a carnival without a classic tarot tent? There are plenty of decks to explore, each offering its own language of symbols and possibility.
-

Most sessions are held over Zoom with email coordination, but other arrangements can be made if needed.
-
No prep is needed. Just bring an open heart and mind—the midway will meet you where you are.
Questions from the Midway
A little practical guidance before you step inside.
-
Think of Reiki as soft strings of carnival lights woven through your energy. You may feel warmth, tingles, or deep relaxation. Sometimes memories surface, sometimes stillness is the gift. Whether you notice much or not, the current flows, bringing balance and release.
-
A traditional Shamanic drum-led meditation. Some people see vivid visions, others feel sensations or receive impressions like whispers in the wind. There is no “wrong” way—the experience unfolds in the language your soul speaks best. We share our stories after, often finding synchronicities that confirm the journey’s truth.
-
Tarot readings are like walking the midway—each card a signpost, each spread a map of your current energies and choices. The Akashic Records, however, are like stepping into the Grand Library Tent of your soul—past, present, and possible futures all recorded in shimmering script. Tarot points to the patterns. The Records reveal the story behind them.
-
Vocal channeling is when I lend my voice so guides, spirits, or archetypal beings can speak directly. Think of it as a tent where the veil is thin and the voices of wisdom step forward. It is safe—I set strong energetic boundaries, uphold clear agreements, and only invite in those aligned with light, respect, and truth.
-
I do not record on my end. However, I encourage you to record your session if you wish—it’s often helpful to listen back later, as new insights tend to reveal themselves in reflection.
-
Belief isn’t required, only openness. Spirit moves whether we analyze it or not. Sometimes skeptics feel the most surprised when they notice how naturally the experience flows.
-
Often, yes. Sometimes a particular guide or loved one steps right forward. Other times, Spirit brings through the message you most need in the moment. Either way, you receive what serves your journey best.
-
That’s okay. Subtle energy doesn’t always register immediately. Many clients notice shifts later—in dreams, moods, synchronicities, or clarity that emerges over days. Trust that the work is still flowing, even if it feels quiet at first.
-
No. I do not diagnose or prescribe. My work complements, but never replaces, licensed professional care.
-
I maintain strong energetic boundaries, set clear intentions, and use trusted processes. I am certified in each practice I offer. Every session begins and ends with protection, grounding, and gratitude—so you can explore freely, knowing the tent is safe.
-
For me personally, I get visions, scenes that play out like a movie. Sometimes a spirit guide speaks, sometimes a lesson is learned. The visions are often multi-layered and full of symbolism.
-
I have certifications in Reiki Energy Work, Akashic Records Reading, and Shamanic Healing practices as well as self developed talents to connecting with Spirit, such as crystal ball scrying or vocal channeling.
-
Yes. I will not read on legal or medical predictions, as these belong with licensed professionals. I also reserve the right to decline questions that don’t align with the integrity of the work.
