Channeled Guidance:
This beautiful creature is fire itself.
They are leaning into the winds of activity, allowing that swirl and flow to increase their power and impact on the world around them.
They are the embodiment of creativity. And creativity is the ultimate action, the needed action to help balance any destructive forces on this planet. This creativity can take so many different forms: visual art, sound healing, writing, cooking, thinking, being, living, raising children, teaching. In fact, creativity can be applied to any action. And when it is fully applied, one feels the energy of the Ancestor of Wands. It is an energy that bursts with life and creates new life, unapologetically.
Sometimes, this intense energy can be intimidating or misunderstood by others, but the Ancestor of Wands knows that their purpose is higher than mere approval of other beings. They are here to help balance the energy of the planet with their creative force, and so they forge ahead with their bright and brilliant contributions.
This fire, this creative zest, lives in every being on this planet. This creative fire is indeed an ancestor. It is the spark that is connected to the birth of the universe you live in. And it lives in you. When you nurture this spark into a flame and allow that to move into creative activity, you are honoring the Ancestor of Wands. Do whatever you need to do to create the correct conditions for creativity in your life, for it is an important part of your existence. Do not let the systems in which you find yourself talk you out of the brilliance that is truly yours. And do not be afraid of this fire.
