Known in sacred circle as Inanna

Threshold-Keeper · Ritualist · Women’s Empowerment Facilitator

There are women who stand at the door. And then there are women who know how to hold it open — long enough for another woman to remember she was always meant to walk through.

I’m Tracey Baum-Wicks, known in sacred circle as Inanna. As a Threshold-Keeper, ritualist, and creatrix of rites of passage, I’ve spent years doing the work that does not make the headlines but changes lives — sitting with women at the crossings, holding the container while something old releases and something true emerges. Creating sumptuous sacred spaces that engage the senses, evoke deep emotion, and open portals into other worlds is my superpower and my passion.

I’m co-founder of CNY Red Tent, a community built on the conviction that women need circles — spaces rooted in the blood mysteries, the wisdom of the body’s cycles, and the ancient knowing that transitions held in sacred community become initiations rather than wounds. Opening that circle wider has become a calling of its own: I want Red Tent to be a home for every woman who has ever stood outside a door she couldn’t find her way through, and I keep working to make our circle more inclusive, more welcoming, and more reflective of the many women who belong in it. My facilitation is somatic, ceremonial, and fiercely woman-centered, drawing on the Red Tent tradition to create spaces where the feminine body is not managed but honored.

As a holistic skincare and bodywork practitioner at Sanctuary Spa in Syracuse, I bring that same reverence for the body into my hands-on work — understanding that true care of the skin and soma is itself a sacred act, a restoration of a woman’s relationship with her own flesh. I started Sanctuary 25 years ago to be just that — a respite from the commercial assault on women. I launched with a stated mission to help dispel the myth of commercial beauty and embrace the truth of intrinsic beauty.

Through my Divination with Inanna practice, I offer something genuinely unlike anything else in the divination landscape. Drawing on my Slavic roots and a lifetime immersed in cross-cultural symbols, folklore, mythology, and archetypes, I’ve created a truly innovative mixed-media divination experience that illuminates the life symbols uniquely yours. Molten wax poured through the bow of a key unlocks your hidden Shadow. Talisman tiles reveal your Gifts. A Slavic divination deck lays out your Life Map. It is at once a deep dive and an exhilarating flight — personal exploration and revelation woven together into a session that does not predict your future so much as illuminate who you already are.

I design and hold rites of passage, ceremonial gatherings, and ritual experiences for women at every threshold — because I know, from the inside out, that every woman deserves to be seen, celebrated and supported in her Becoming.
