I read somewhere several months ago about the archetype of “Spiritual Warrior” and I instantly KNEW in my soul that I have one of those!  And almost as soon as I recognized this truth, I found these two seemingly unrelated images.

And then… if that weren’t enough, I read this quotation from Pema Chodron:

The Spiritual Warrior sits in the middle of the fire.  — Pema Chodron

Well, there are truly no coincidences!  This card was simply meant to be!

I am the one who stands guard at the Tree of your Life.  I am the one who throws poisoned daggers at anyone or anything who gets in the way of the beautiful Light pouring down from Spirit. I am the one who protects you and yours with a circle of flames which has special power to burn in water.  The waters are your life story.  My flames form a circle of protection for you. You are safe at all times. I am always on guard, always on the lookout, and I am ruthless towards anything which stands between you and Spirits’ Light.
