The Night I Was Reminded Who I Am

A Message from Ceremony, Cacao, and Two Sacred Cards

Yesterday, I had the honor of attending a cacao ceremony guided by Angie at Mojo Studio.

It was one of those experiences that stays with you, one that I have been longing to have.

It wasn't loud or dramatic.

It was intentional.

Grounded.

Rooted in presence.

We gathered in a circle.

We opened our hearts.

We drank ceremonial cacao.

We breathed together.

We listened.

There was no rushing.

No performing.

No pretending.

Just real people, real energy, and real connection.

Spaces like this matter. It reminds us who we are beneath the noise of daily life.

And it was in this sacred container that spirit spoke to me.

The Space That Held the Message

This ceremony took place on February 5th at Mojo Studio.

A room filled with warmth.

Soft light.

Open hearts. and some amazing woman.

Angie held the space with care, reverence, and deep intention. You could feel it.

We were safe to soften. Safe to feel. Safe to be seen.

Cacao is heart medicine. It opens what has been guarded. It invites honesty. It brings us back into communion with ourselves.

As the night unfolded, I felt myself drop out of my head and into my body.

Out of striving. Into presence.

And then came the cards.

The Two Cards I Pulled

We were invited to pull cards.

These were the two that came to me:

Rhiannon: The Call

And the 8 of Sacred Circles.

At first glance, they were beautiful.

But these were not just “nice” cards.

They were a message.

For this season of my life. For my work. For my becoming.

And for anyone walking this path alongside me.

Rhiannon: Remembering Your Spiritual Authority

Rhiannon is the energy of sovereignty.

She rides between worlds.

She carries magic in her presence.

She does not chase.

She does not beg.

She does not shrink.

She knows who she is.

This card appears when you are being asked to step fully into yourself.

Not the version of you that doubts.

Not the version that waits for permission.

Not the version that plays small to be comfortable.

The true version.

The grounded version.

The aligned version.

Rhiannon asks:

Are you willing to trust yourself?

Are you willing to be seen?

Are you willing to let your life expand?

This is the call to leadership.

To truth.

To living from inner authority.

For me, this card was a reminder:

Stop questioning what you already know.

Stop minimizing what you carry.

Stop waiting to be chosen.

You are already chosen.

By your soul.

By your path.

By spirit.

The 8 of Sacred Circles: Devotion to Your Craft

The 8 of Sacred Circles is the card of devotion.

It represents the quiet work.

The daily practice.

The sacred repetition.

It is the healer tending her medicine.

The writer refining her voice.

The teacher preparing her offerings.

It reminds us that aligned success is not built through force.

It is built through love.

Consistency.

Presence.

Through showing up for what matters.

Even when no one is watching.

Even when it feels slow.

This is how mastery forms.

This is how confidence grows.

This is how abundance stabilizes.

For me, this card was saying:

Honor your process. Trust your rhythm. Stay devoted to what you are building.

Not from pressure.

From reverence.

When These Two Appear Together

When Rhiannon and the 8 of Sacred Circles appear together, the message is clear:

You are being called into greater visibility, and it will be built through daily devotion.

In other words:

You are meant for more. You are meant to lead. You are meant to create impact.

And the path forward is through honoring your gifts every day.

Not hustle.

Not burnout.

Not proving.

But sacred rhythm.

Aligned action.

Intentional creation.

Small steps taken consistently with love.

This is how real legacies are built.

What This Message Meant for Me

This reading felt like confirmation.

Confirmation that I am no longer in preparation mode.

I am in embodiment mode.

I am here to live what I teach. To write what I have walked through. To offer what I have integrated in my own life.

Not someday, but now.

It reminded me that my voice matters.

My story matters.

My work matters.

And that honoring my calling means honoring my daily practices.

My writing.

My reflection.

My connection.

My creativity.

My healing work.

All of it is sacred.

Nothing is wasted, and Nothing is random.

What This Message Means for You

If you are reading this, this message is for you too.

You wouldn’t be here by accident.

You are being called to trust yourself more deeply. To stop waiting. To stop shrinking. To stop doubting your worth.

You already carry wisdom.

You already have medicine.

You already have something meaningful to offer.

Your path is unfolding through devotion.

Through showing up for yourself daily.

Through honoring your truth.

Through choosing alignment over fear.

You don’t have to rush.

You don’t have to compare.

You don’t have to force.

You just have to stay present.

And keep choosing yourself.

A Practice to Sit With

Take a moment today and ask yourself:

Where am I being invited to commit more deeply to myself?

Not through pressure, but through love?

Then listen.

Your soul always answers.

An Affirmation

I honor my calling through daily devotion.

My gifts are valuable.

My work is sacred.

My path is supported.

Thank you, Angie, for holding such a beautiful space.

Thank you to all the ladies who shared that night with me.

Thank you to spirit for always guiding.

And thank you to you, for walking this path with me.

With love, Michelle
