The August sky blazes behind her in streaks of molten orange and indigo, echoing both heat and harvest. Gladiolus blooms sway around her feet like witnesses. She stands in full presence, embodying the sacred tension of August—soft and fierce, still and ignited, a living altar of remembrance and becoming.

A radiant Black woman with rich brown skin sits cross-legged on a soft white rug, grounded in ritual. She wears a flowing taupe outfit, her locs cascading over one shoulder, gold hoops glinting in the morning light.

Ritual Story for Speaking with Power, Presence and Ease Some mornings I wake up with my heart already racing. A meeting on the calendar. A presentation that matters. My body feels everything before my mind even has a chance to name it. As a neurodistinct being, my experience of the world is rich, layered, and intense.

It pulses with clarity and purpose. It reminds me that joy is not frivolous. It’s a frequency. Abundance isn’t a reward. It’s a rhythm. A steady, golden current I choose to align with, not chase. It’s one of my go-to crystals for nervous system regulation, especially when I feel energetically scattered or emotionally raw. When I’m holding more than I realize or unraveling…
