Thank you Louise for your sharing/writing. I definitely relate to the persecution wound. From my memories of my most recent past life and from the witch trial times. And I am sure many more too. Seems to be a theme of lives, living my truth and magic unapologetically. The trauma from my most recent past life majorly affected this one. My memories are so strong, it is like the same life carried into this one. It has taken decades really to work through that persecution. To be here on substack and speaking from the depths of the Holy Fires. I do not edit, I can't anymore. Which is wonderful and scary as you brought forward here in your post today. In me, my work is to clear away the patriarchal and highly Christianized programming that are the waters in our culture that we do not even know we are swimming in. And this is scary too! Yet this is the Sacred Feminine voice rising. And I must head the call! Seems you are doing the same! Thanks again Louise!

Thank you Julie, I can empathise with those very real experiences that make you feel like you are being pushed under. They are dissolving and I have been reassured that for you they will eventually disappear. Your commitment has not gone unnoticed and your support team are always with you. We are in the dregs of it now, so this can feel more raw and painful than the experiences that have gone before. Each time we share, each time we come together, each time we put one step forward we become stronger, more connected and divinely held. Thank you for being here beautiful soul. 🙏💫

I absolutely LOVE your unapologetic way of taking up space here! It’s a breath of fresh air to feel that coming from and through you. And resonates with me deeply as I am trying to understand when it feels right to light up big and bright, and also when it feels good to hibernate in the shadows as new seeds of creativity are in their planting stage. Celebrating you and love to see your shine ⭐️

Thank you Christine, I do always feel that fine line of showing up and retreating, but this call was go big or go home! I think sometimes we say we’re here, but no one actually hears us. When we’ve got so much to offer, sometimes it’s about being clear because there are people that need us. That’s the message here, which can be a tough one for an introvert like me, but I’m working on it! 💫🙏

Louise, thank you so much for this. Not only is it beautifully written, it is an essential truth for so many of us right now -- I felt and feel so much resonance with your past-life vision (a shimmer of soul-recognition passed through me as I read your line about accepting your fate in that circle), and this passage made my soul sing:

“What I don’t share with many people is that each time I have stepped up into my power, revealed a bit of myself and my gifts, I have questioned my choices, sometimes literally be taken down on my knees by fear and thought that I may not be able to get up again.

I want you to know that I do not underestimate the monumental courage, bravery and stubborn determination it takes to continue the journey. When I’ve wanted to give up there is something that always keeps me going, is always at my back and at my shoulder. I know you can do this and it’s at times like this that I know what it’s all been for.”

Thank you for your beautiful truth. And, to the voice that feels embarrassed by the “show up and shine” channel, you know, there are many ways to shine. Speaking your truth in this way is showing up and shining. You can be gentle and strong in your truth, and that is your “show” -- that is the feminine voice coming in, and is the path of healing for the world right now.

(I think you already know all this, just wanted to reaffirm it for you in case parts of you needed a mirror). 💜💜💜💜💜💜

As always Carrie, I feel like we are on this part of the journey together, which is having someone who speaks the truth back to me! This part about shining your own way is spot on, it doesn’t have to be showy, it doesn’t have to be loud, it just has to be you, but if it feels a bit uncomfortable then you’re probably hitting the right note. We are stretching and growing through this experience and that is exactly the way it should be. When we do it together we feel stronger and more able to stand in the centre. Thank you for your presence here. 💫🙏❤️

WOW! WOW! WOW! THANK YOU Louise!

This is SOOOO powerful. This made me sit taller, feel straighter, see myself even in my own circle. I have to sit with this more... there is something brewing that this post opened in me.

I will come back and share soon.

How exciting Sam! I have absolutely no doubt there is something here for you, I felt it calling soul sisters in. I can’t wait to hear what comes through for you. 🙏💫

This was so powerful, Louise! I felt transported as I was reading your words, to another time and place, where I was the one in the center of the circle. And then I was suddenly in a dream from a couple nights ago where I was touching an old, twisted tree and listening THROUGH it to a group of women who were deliberately misunderstanding me in order to spread lies. It was so strange, not something I worry about in waking life. But now I can't help but see the parallels in your transmission. Thank you for your profound courage to keep showing up for this. Your work has helped me immensely and I know I'm only one of many. ❤️

Jenna I am so immensely grateful for your words here and that you felt this transmission, it was POWERFUL as it came through and very shifting for me too. I expect that this was a clearing that occurred, so it’s wonderful that this is what you experienced. Thank you for showing up as you. 🙏💫
