Words for this moment
Invocation O Flame of Creation, O Sun that never sets, O Divine Fire burning in my spirit— I call You now. Clothe me in Your light. Alignment I am not fear; I am courage. I am not shadow; I am flame. I am not defeated; I am victory. My ancestors shield me. My guides walk beside me. My soul burns with eternal fire. Declaration I face the storm, and I do not falter. I meet the night, and I do not tremble. Sword of truth in my hand, Shield of faith on my arm, Torch of wisdom before my path— I walk as a warrior of light. No chain can bind me. No darkness can consume me. No trial can break me. Affirmation I rise like the sun. I strike like the lightning. I endure like the mountain. I shine like the stars. The fire of God is within me. The courage of Spirit carries me. The victory of light crowns me. Closing Seal Through trial, I triumph. Through fire, I rise. Through Spirit, I prevail. Victory in light, forever. Amen. Asé. So it is.

A moment for reflection
Strength need not mean carrying everything alone. Name one task you can make smaller or one person you can ask for support.
