*In The Circle, shadows come forth and are seen fully, without judgment. Once we leave The Circle, they become our power instead of our fear.* ![[tarot - the circle v2.png]] No one can say when The Circle began. Some claim it was born when the first fire was lit in the forest; others swear it began with a whisper between two friends who chose to tell the truth. Perhaps it is older than both. What we do know is The Circle is never the same twice. It swells and contracts like breath. Seasons pass, people arrive, others vanish—yet The Circle endures. What matters is not who holds it, but that it is held, and what is held within it—an energy of those willing to put down their armor, light a candle in the dark, and discover what is waiting in the space between.
