Following the Violet Flame Back to Creation

Last week I channelled an artwork with the intention of working with the guardians of the Violet Flame.

It was the first time I had picked up my art materials since my mum passed away in 2024. It’s fair to say my heart has been broken in a way only grief can shape. So imagine my surprise when I heard the faint fluttering of the canvas calling to me — tentatively at first — whispering, showing me images of a land we cannot see with our naked eye. Images from other worlds, looking through the universal veil.

As I sat down, it felt awkward at first. I felt the irritation. The loss of fluid motion I once had. But slowly, it returned — a remembering. I realised again that I have a symbiotic connection with paper and pastels. I didn’t tell the image what to become; we found it together.

As the blues, purples, and yellows began to form, I felt the familiar trust in the process return.

Sitting there, it all started to take shape. What initially appeared to be a bird began to look like a dragon. Then it didn’t look like anything at all. When I finished, I sat quietly with the piece and allowed it to speak to me, to tell me which guardian it was.

I could feel the Violet Flame deep within the image, but I couldn’t quite glimpse who stood behind it. I chose to sit with the not-knowing, trusting that the guardian would come to me in their own time.

Later, as I was giving healing to my son, I called in the Violet Flame.

That was when I met the guardian.

A phoenix — radiant and powerful — came swooping in, flames trailing from their entire body and feathers. They circled around us, creating a ring of fire, their wings lifting and amplifying the energy. In that moment, I truly connected with the guardian.

The phoenix is the dragon.

The dragon is the phoenix.

They are symbiotic — two clans of the same species.

Keepers.

Protectors.

Guardians.

My journey with the Violet Flame — and with the Dragons — has never been about folklore, facts, or memorising meanings. I have never been able to hold those things easily in my mind. Instead, I work with the energy itself — how it feels, how it moves, how it meets me in that moment.

What I have come to understand is that as I change — and continue to change in this life — so too do the guardians and keepers of this Universe. It makes sense to me now that these energetic beings do not want me to hold fixed beliefs about them. They are not static. They are living, responsive, and relational.

They change as we change.

The phoenix has visited me before, briefly. This time it returned differently — not as a surprise, but as something expected. A continuation rather than an arrival.

What I feel now is excitement for what comes next.

For who is waiting in the layers of energy to step forward onto my canvas.

I have never sat in ego. I have always seen myself as the student. And yet, with the turning of the wheel and the approach of Imbolc, I can see how I am being gently moved — not pushed — from student into teacher.

The keepers of the Violet Flame are working with me. I can feel their energy building. There is a sense that 2026 will bring the teachings of the Violet Flame Guardians into form, in the way they wish to be shared and taught.

This work, for me, is about raising coherence — offering calm, grounded energy to those who walk a similar path, and bringing a sense of steadiness into spaces that can feel chaotic.

Rooted in Gratitude,
