Reflection: The Fire within Us Blood Full Moon & Eclipse
It was a humbling experience to say yes to something I had never offered before—and the fire continues to awaken new truths within me.
Fire is one of our oldest teachers—transforming, purifying, and awakening what’s hidden within us. Firewalking is an ancient practice of courage and devotion, a way of remembering that we can walk through fear, doubt, and limitation—and emerge transformed.
The micro always reflects the macro. In our world right now, ego, rushing, and scattered energy are leading us toward destruction. In the fire, we witnessed what happens when we don’t slow down and ask: What would truly honor me and my body? Without presence, we risk getting burned. This is why we must keep building the muscle of presence, courage, and belonging to ourselves.
Each of us is magic. And magic is not just energy—it is “the art of shifting consciousness at will.” ~Starhawk
Choosing differently is, in itself, an act of magic.
Our fire’s name was Medusa. Her stony gaze is both shield and mirror—guarding the soul once it has been cracked open. She carries the archetype of the survivor, alchemizing trauma from being raped into protection and power. Her solitude is not emptiness, but sacred space—needed to hold her immense strength.
We are given a choice: to embrace the dark feminine within us, or to continue suppressing her. This eclipse calls us into responsibility—to face the deep truths that are ready to be burned away.
Carry these questions with you as sparks from the fire—illumining the path forward with presence and power.
What deep, dark truths am I being asked to turn toward?
How can I take responsibility for my choices?
What alignment is calling me forward?
I myself received at least 13 “kisses” from the fire—reminders of when I was pushing from ego instead of listening. They showed me where I could choose differently. And now, I carry this wisdom in my body.
May we each remember the fire within us—steady, wise, and unshakable.
May we have the courage to slow down, listen deeply, and honor what is true.
May the path ahead be guided by presence, rooted in power, and lit with love.
And so it is.
