This is the first daily email for our fire-focused week of Walking the Ways of the Summer Light. Emails the rest of the week support:
- contemplating fire as a natural element and from the Tarot tradition;
- going out for a wisdom wander in nature with cards in hand; and
- finding a question that will illuminate the way forward on your soul’s journey.
This prepares us to celebrate next week’s Solstice. I have been inspired by the Solstices as points in the year when Light and Dark joyfully reunite like lovers who’ve been separated. They traveled alone for a while to tend their own nature, but the Solstice is their re-connection point.
Words to Inspire
Isn’t it time to turn your heart into a temple of fire?

- imagining the energy that flows through a field of flowers, a stand of trees, or the multitude of cells that burn within you.
