Reflections and inner guidance on the cycles and seasons of Life, Love, and Transformation
Crowned Warrior
(manifesto of personal freedom)
She is the beauty of a rose, both the petals and the thorns.
A Truth Denied Only Hides
For a long time, I have ignored this heavy boulder, sitting silently, and suffocating my own wisdom. It is the consequence of a truth spoken too many times, unacknowledged and hushed by the heaviness of repression.
A Seeker Must Seek the Unknown Mysteries
A Seeker must seek the unknown mysteries, those glorified in the world for something they are not. The eyes cannot see, the ears cannot hear, only the heart and soul can comprehend. It reveals itself by feeling in the dark; a dream, a symbol, a connection of knowing that cannot be fabricated or understood by the mind.
Dark Ash and Ancient Marrow
A soul silently witnessing herself give birth to Magic; something mystical, fashioned from dark ash and ancient marrow.
You ARE Rightness
The journey transforms everything that ever has been into something new and life-giving. It’s magical how chaos sweeps in and fertilizes everything, an upheaval offered in exchange for alchemy’s gift. Purification allows truth to be revealed.
Experience Yourself Fully, for That is Love
Who thought to create life from such a beautiful temple? The soul’s creation wrapped in soft skin and bone. To speak unkindly of this perfection would certainly offend SHE who knows.
Reach into the Darkness of the World
Feminine wisdom opens wounds we often are too afraid to touch, collective wounds that only heal through the collective power of remembrance, a strong medicine that penetrates to the marrow of ancient knowing.
Embodiment of Truths
Honoring every piece of our wholeness allows us to see wholeness in ALL; a condition created by a certain breaking open of the heart, a shattering that reveals the soul, revealing something mysterious and partially unknowable that creates a journey of discovery.
Your Legacy is Strength
Fire doesn’t sacrifice its own flame in the hope that another might notice her light. She simply IS radiance, attracting the moth to her flame. Offer to yourself first so that you may warm others from your fullness.
You Owe No One an Explanation
When did you stop believing you were magic?
Threats of hellfire and brimstone held shame knowingly in their hands. This “hell” was created by the shame handed down to you, convincing you that you needed to be saved.
“Do this. Don’t do that. Your body is sin’s sanctuary. Keep yourself pure or you’re a whore. Don’t bother asking for help, no one will listen anyway.”
These lies created the prison of someone else’s making, now open the door.
A Glimpse into the Soul of Truth
A magnetic pull to enter the enchanted forest, both dark and inspiring, a topsy-turvy wonderland of opposites beckoning integration.
You are Not Forgotten, Just Incubating
No one told you of this journey; the destination of the soul.
A breaking open, a splitting, a spilling, and an emptying.
A temporary darkness and a return to remembering.
Remembrance is Returning to Me and SHE is Powerful
Return to the spark and look closely at it rising in the air. Did it disappear or just return to the stars? Unmarked soul seeds with battle scars. Follow the spark back down to where it begins, to the first time you agreed to be something you were not. These were agreements made barely past toddler legs. “Be a good girl. You’re naughty if you disagree.” “Naughty” is just another way to say, “your truth threatens me”. The same truth that threatens lives built on faulty foundations of illusion and oppression, the norms that dictate “too much” and “not enough”, and dance only with strings attached.
Pick Up Your Crown, Queen
YOU ARE truth. Truth is not black and white; it is a million shades of gray. To only honor your love and light is to honor half of life.
Your Tragedies are Returning You to Truth
This is the reason you suffer. To know and to hold your own suffering allows space to hold other’s suffering. To hold another’s suffering and to grieve their loss is the gift of healing. How could you hold so tenderly what you have not known through experience? You have touched the wisdom of darkness and made night your ally. Will you hold the medicine? Will you choose to be a wisdom keeper?
A Bit About Stefanie
So much of what I have learned has come from my soul deep connection with Nature, Earth wisdom, the intricate cycles and seasons of our lives, and the beauty that is to be found in both the darkness and light in all of those. It’s why I do the work I do!
