I almost put this card back in the deck because I felt like I pulled this same exact card for us not too long ago. But the guides said that was a really stupid reason not to share this very important message with you.

The message of this card is that even when (especially when) it feels like everything is going wrong...

You have an active team of spirit guides, guardian angels, and ancestors who are with you every step of the way.

It reminds me of an affirmation card I drew a few days ago:

"I literally cannot screw this up. Angels & Ancestors guide me every step of the way." - from the Holy Wow Money deck by Serena Hicks.

And as I sit with my end-of-year reflections & plans (& my totally normal human negativity bias) it is so easy to get stuck in feeling like I haven't done enough.

And I can almost hear my ancestors screeching "How ungrateful!"

Because they have created so many miracles for me during this past year.

(And they have done that for you too!)

Here's How To Bring This Guidance In:

Look Back on 2025 with rose-colored glasses

Take some time this week to go through your calendar, your income statements, your camera roll and create a "Hell Yes" list.

What has happened for you this year that is objectively (or subjectively) pretty freaking awesome?

What are the moments you wish you could slip back into and enjoy all over again?

Who are the people you met? What are the wins you had? How much have you grown?

Write it down and THANK YOUR ANCESTORS, boo.

(Because you know they go crazy for a handwritten thank you note)

Ask your guides for, well, guidance.

Start with a blank piece of paper. At the top write "Thank you, guides, guardian angels, and benevolent ancestors for showing me exactly what I need to know."

You can leave it broad, like that, or add in an "about X situation" if there is something in particular you're rumbling with.

Then just start writing.

Even if you're not sure what to write. (You can even start by writing that! "I don't know what to write but.."

Let your words keep moving - don't worry about editing. Just let it flow.

Bonus: Note the time you start writing at, and then at the end check what Angel Number that is!

Join a Village

Sure, it's great to have a cosmic team of guides and guardian angels helping you out, but it is ALSO super powerful to have a team that's more... corporeal.

This is the main reason I created Campfyre Collective. It's a year of coaching in community with other former gifted kids turned weird and witchy women who are ready to do the work of transforming their lives and want to be held by a community of women who are doing the same thing so they can go farther, and faster, and not feel so guilty for wanting "more".
