The Hero’s Journey The path of becoming. This isn’t just mythology; it’s the pattern of awakening woven through every soul’s story. Across ages and cultures, the same rhythm repeats itself. We dream, we act, we fall, we rise, and in time, we remember what we’ve always known. Every civilization found its own language for this process. Some called it enlightenment, others rebirth, ascension, or gnosis. But beneath all the names is the same map — the return to self. What we once saw as divine instruction was really a reflection of our own becoming. The Hero’s Journey is not about slaying dragons or reaching a final destination. It’s about the quiet evolution that happens each time we move from confusion to clarity, from survival to purpose. It’s the sacred rhythm that keeps us growing, whether through heartbreak or breakthrough. When we start to see our lives this way, everything shifts. The chaos stops feeling like punishment and starts revealing itself as initiation. Every loss, every repeat lesson, every strange loop back to the beginning is part of the same spiral that’s been guiding humanity since the dawn of consciousness. The Universal Pattern Every age has tried to name it — the pulse that moves through creation, destruction, and rebirth. It’s in the myths of gods and heroes, the cycles of nature, the rhythms of our own healing. Whether written in stone or stored in neurons, the pattern repeats: expansion, contraction, renewal. We rise to understand, we fall to remember. The ancients called it the Great Wheel. Alchemists called it transmutation. Modern psychology calls it growth through integration. But they’re all describing the same current — the universal pattern that carries us through transformation. This pattern isn’t mystical fluff or moral lesson; it’s the architecture of evolution itself. The same laws that guide the stars guide the psyche. The same energy that births galaxies pushes us toward wholeness. When we resist the pattern, life feels chaotic. When we learn to move with it, we begin to see that even chaos has choreography. The journey doesn’t just happen to us — it happens through us. Every heartbreak that cracks us open, every failure that forces a redirection, every breakthrough that follows surrender — all of it belongs to the same design. From the creation myths of Egypt to the philosophies of India, from Jung’s archetypes to quantum theory’s entanglement, the story never really changes. Consciousness expands, forgets itself, and then finds its way home again. Over and over, forever learning how to embody what it already knows. That’s the rhythm behind every story humanity has ever told — and it’s the same rhythm living in you. The Living Arcana & Archetypes The Leap of Faith The Fool walks with trust before proof.

Sausage Gumbo Another one of our favorite go-to dinners that we often double-up on, to eat for lunches too! Serves 4-6 people Ingredients: 1 tsp kosher salt 1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper ½ tsp cayenne pepper ½ tsp white pepper ½ tsp paprika ½ tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder 1 medium yellow onion, small dice 1 green bell pepper, small dice 3 sticks celery, small dice 7 C chick’n flavored bullion into broth 8 oz sausage, diced (vegan shrimp can also be added) 1 Tbsp minced garlic Salt and pepper to taste 1 Tbsp gumbo File powder 1 Heaping Tbsp tomato paste (Optional: add 1 C chopped Kale and/or 1 C frozen Okra) 1) Prep veggies and prepare broth, we recommend 'Better than' veggie or chicken flavor, but bullion works too. Pre-make hush puppies. 2) Mix all seasonings together and set aside in small bowl. 3) Start roux in bottom of soup pot. Once roux reaches white, add in celery, onion, and bell pepper. Add a few tsp’s of water if mix starts to dry out. Sweat veggies in roux while allowing it to blonde. 4) Once veggies begin to soften, add in minced garlic and sausage (and vegan shrimp) pieces. Cook until heated, about 2 minutes. 5) Add in tomato paste and broth. Stir well. 6) Add in all seasonings and stir well. Cook until broth begins to reduce. Add in kale and/or okra at this point, so you should choose. 7) Simmer on medium-low heat for 30 minutes before serving. Serve with rice or pre-made hush puppies We go back-and-forth and like to pour soup on top of rice or just add a scoop right into the middle! If using leftovers for lunch, storing them together will cause the sauce to soak into the rice, but it's AMAZING!
