In this Ember Note, I’m sharing a reading from the Archangel Power Tarot... four cards that arrived with a message I wasn’t entirely expecting... and that I suspect you may need to hear, too.
We talk about the difference between working hard and working aligned... and why, when we are truly expressing our creative Ember self, what looks like work from the outside often feels like something closer to play. We talk about what it means to allow. To receive. To stop depending on our own strength and trust the strength of Spirit flowing through us.
And we talk about the doors. The ones that have always been there, waiting. The ones we walk past because we don’t feel worthy of what’s on the other side.
If you’ve been carrying a quiet sense that something is trying to reach you... that prosperity, peace, love, or guidance is somehow just out of reach... this one is for you.
In this Ember Note: The Nine of Ariel and what “hard work” really means through the lens of the Ember Way… the High Priestess and the peace that arrives when we align with our truth… the Three and Four of Gabriel and the invitation to take the next step… and the one thing that so often keeps us from opening the door that’s right in front of us.
Paid and Founding subscribers, your reflection prompts are waiting below... a gentle set of questions to help you explore where you may be grasping, what may be ready to release, and which doors your own Spirit self has been quietly holding open for you. ❤️🔥
