Led by Spirit: The Tools That Help Me Grow
One thing I’ve never been able to deny, no matter what stage of life I’ve been in, is how deeply led by Spirit I’ve always been. Before I ever knew the names of the tools I now work with, before I understood how energy or archetypes moved through me—I was already being guided. And that guidance, that inner pull, is what opened the doors to everything that’s followed.
It wasn’t a grand, dramatic moment. It was subtle—like being gently nudged, steered through feeling, intuition, and inner resonance. Over time, I began to understand that this guidance wasn’t just support—it was an invitation to learn how to live in partnership with Spirit. And from that point on, everything changed.
Tarot & Runes: Tools That Speak to the Soul
Tarot came into my life like a familiar friend. Not just a deck of cards, but a living, breathing language that helped me hear myself more clearly. Each card is layered with archetypal energy—reflecting back to me the patterns, stories, and deeper truths that want to be seen and honored.
Runes arrived differently. They carry a raw, primal energy that cuts straight to the core. Their simplicity is deceptive—they’re ancient, but incredibly precise. Where tarot invites dialogue, runes offer clear, powerful statements. Both tools have become anchors in my practice, helping me track the movement of energy in my life and within others.
Archetypes & Roles: Inner Navigation Systems
Understanding archetypes and roles has been like learning to read the soul’s terrain. We all move through these energies—the healer, the teacher, the shadow walker, the truth teller, the sacred fool. Recognizing them helps me understand where I’m at in my own journey, and what medicine is moving through me.
It’s the same when I work with roles in the context of soul contracts. The more I understand the agreements I’ve made on a soul level, the easier it becomes to hold compassion, detachment, and clarity in relationships. There’s a wisdom that unfolds when we see our lives as guided, not random.
Techniques & Practice: The Integration Ground
All of these tools are powerful, but they’d mean nothing without practice. Breathwork, ritual, energy work, shamanic journeying—these are the ways I ground what I receive. They help me embody it. This path isn’t about collecting knowledge—it’s about remembering who I am and integrating that into how I live, breathe, and serve.
These practices are how I come home to myself. They offer structure, but also spaciousness. They help me stay in alignment, especially when life feels loud or uncertain.
Spirit: The One That’s Always Been There
But through it all—through every tool, every layer, every practice—Spirit is the one thing that never changes. Spirit is the constant. It’s what first whispered me awake and what continues to guide me into deeper layers of growth, trust, and remembering.
I’m often amazed at how things line up, how teachings or symbols come to me at the exact right moment. Not because I sought them out, but because I stayed open. Spirit leads. I listen. That’s the rhythm.
Final Words
Everything I use—tarot, runes, archetypes, rituals—they’re beautiful, sacred tools. They help me see clearly and grow intentionally. But they are not the source. Spirit is.
And the more I allow Spirit to lead, the more these tools reveal their depth. They become portals for transformation, reflection, and healing—not just for me, but for the people I serve.
This path was never something I forced or planned. It unfolded, naturally, from a willingness to be led. And honestly, that willingness—to trust what I feel, to follow the pull—is the most important tool I have.
