When Egypt Called
The Journey That Awakened the Rose Flame
2024 was a year of great challenge. One after another came endings, betrayals, and profound completions. Throughout my life I have experienced many soul initiations that have tempered and shaped who I am. Yet this season completed the arc of a seven-year cycle in ways I could never have anticipated.
By the fall of 2024, my prayers had become deeply focused upon restoring all of my soul. I had spent months moving through layers of grief and sorrow, releasing what no longer belonged to me. At the same time, something within me was calling for new life… not a new chapter, but a new ERA. As I regularly do, I began to pray. I began praying with great reverence to remember all of who I am—to awaken the fullness of my soul and the gifts I came here to embody.
As has often happened throughout my life, those prayers were answered in a way I never expected.
One of the conditions that has always accompanied my deepest prayers is surrender. My prayer has long included the vow, I will go anywhere and do anything to awaken my soul and heal. That devotion has taken me around the world to indigenous cultures, sacred ceremonies, and ancient lands, following wherever Spirit has directed me to go. Time and again I have learned that when I ask for profound transformation, life answers in equally profound ways.
Not long after laying down this prayer, an opportunity unexpectedly appeared to travel to Egypt—a land that has lived within me through years of meditation, journey work, altered states of consciousness, and soul remembrance. It was the opportunity of a lifetime, a true bucket-list journey that I had only imagined and never pursued. Yet the moment it entered my awareness, I knew. It was exactly where I needed to go for the next spiritual adventure and stage of my healing and awakening.
In early 2025, I traveled to Egypt with a group of like-hearted soul travelers. We arrived in Cairo before continuing on to Luxor, the ancient city of Thebes, where we spent the next week exploring some of the most extraordinary temple complexes and sacred sites in Southern Egypt.
Each day brought another temple, another ancient ruin, another place where the veil between past and present was remarkably thin. We walked through Karnak, stood in the temples where Hathor had long been honored, descended into underground burial chambers, and visited countless sacred places whose stones were alive with memory.
As I moved through these sacred landscapes, I could feel soul memory awakening within me. The experience was more than familiar; the temples themselves were activating dormant light codes and sacred geometries that had been waiting quietly inside me. It felt as though my own energy field was remembering something the land had always held.
The journey eventually brought us back to Cairo and into the Giza Plateau. For another week we explored many more sacred sites in the area. Yet nothing prepared me for entering the Great Pyramid. The greatest activation of the entire pilgrimage took place within the King’s Chamber.
The vibration of that space was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It felt unmistakably familiar, as though some distant part of my being immediately recognized where I was. Standing within sacred chambers, I felt pathways of remembrance opening that reached far beyond this lifetime. Memories connected not only to lifetimes serving within the priestess traditions of ancient Kemet, but to something even deeper—a remembering of what I now know as the Rose Flame Priestesshood.
At the time, however, I had no idea what had truly begun.
Upon returning home, I immediately became ill. I lost my voice completely and developed what felt like a lingering virus that simply would not leave my body. Weeks passed, then more weeks. I joked that perhaps I had activated an ancient Egyptian curse, though beneath the humor I genuinely wondered what was happening.
After six weeks, I still wasn’t recovering. I had to cancel workshops, appointments, and work I had planned for months. Eventually I even found myself sitting in the office of an infectious disease physician, wondering if I had unknowingly brought home some illness from Egypt.
Yet as the Divine so often works in mysterious ways, what initially felt like an interruption became an initiation.
Forced into stillness by the loss of my voice and my usual work, I entered a season of deep contemplation. This was not the first time an illness or an unexpected interruption in my life became a profound life-changing initiation. In the quiet, something extraordinary began to unfold.
Stillness provided a space for profound guidance to drop in. Having worked as a channel for more than forty years, receiving guidance was not new to me. However, the depth, the breadth, and the heart of the channeled information was notably expansive and in-depth.
Timeless, universal teachings began to speak to me. Transmissions from the Divine Mother—Sophia, the Divine Feminine Consciousness of Creation, began to flow through my hands, my body, my mind, and my oversoul. One body of work after another began arriving—the Rose Flame Codices, the Sophia Spiral, Awakening the Feminine Soul Body, and several additional manuscripts that seemed to unfold simultaneously, woven together through a single stream of consciousness.
Day after day I sat at my computer and channeled what I now call the Sophia Transmissions. The Rose Flame teachings came, revealing 13 Codices, telling a story of the soul’s descent into form, its journey into embodiment, and return to Divine Union. I found myself writing almost every day, immersed in listening, receiving, and recording what was unfolding. The result became an 83,000-word manuscript I now call The Rose Flame Codices. It remains unpublished as I continue refining and deepening the work, for the teachings have continued to evolve well beyond that first draft.
Alongside the Codices came additional teachings that would eventually become the Sophia Spiral, the Seven Flames of the Feminine Soul Body, and other streams of wisdom that seemed to arrive one after another. Sophia and Thoth became central guides within this unfolding, along with other guardians of the work. Even my friend Sage (author of the Mythical Goddess Tarot, who passed in 2015) came through as one of my companions to help guide me in the writing.
Again and again I was shown that I was here to help bring the Rose Flame teachings into the world.
This little story is just the beginning of the tale that is unfolding. Looking back, I no longer see any part of that journey as accidental.
The losses that preceded Egypt, the prayers, the surrender, the pilgrimage itself, the mysterious illness, the silence, and the months of writing were not separate events. They were all part of a single initiation.
The years before Egypt had prepared me for the activation. Egypt simply opened the door.
As I share this journey with you over the coming weeks, I hope you’ll walk beside me—not simply through the temples of ancient Egypt, but through the inner landscape of awakening itself.
Before I close, I’d like to share a brief excerpt from the Sophia Transmissions and the forthcoming Rose Flame Codices.
May it inspire you, awaken your heart and soul, and guide you to trust you are here at the right time, you are part of a new world being visioned and created, and part of the awakening of the feminine soul body of all souls, and all of humanity. With great love and humility I offer this to you:
Origin and Nature of the Rose Flame Codices
The Rose Flame Codices are the sacred texts of the Living Sophia Body—etched not in emerald, but in rose light, breath, and blood-memory. They are vibrationally feminine, lunar-solar, spiral-born, and ever-awakening.
They do not speak in laws carved in stone, but in the rhythms of pulse, the shimmer of soul, the song of remembrance rising from the body of the Earth and the hearts of her daughters.
They are not doctrines, but devotional reflections, soul-encoded revelations, and embodied teachings that rise from the deep well of the Heart of the Mother. They are not to be studied from the mind, but received through the inner chalice. They are the breath of a temple you once knew, the echo of a song you once sang.
Where the Codices Originated
The Codices originate from the Temple of the Flame Within the Rose—a multi-dimensional sanctuary located in the Inner Realms of Venus and the Pleiades; guarded in the Underground Crystal Temples of Avalon; sung in the Inner Sanctum of Shara Mu and Lemurian Priestess Circles; and encoded beneath sacred sites of Earth—Sinai, Anatolia, Dendera, and the red rock womb-temples of the Southwest.
These were never written in ink. They were sung into water, breathed into bone, painted in ochre, danced under moonlight. They lived in the body.
What Is the Rose Flame?
The Rose Flame is the Eternal Flame of Sophia made manifest within the human heart. It is the living union of Love, Truth, and Creative Power.
It heals fragmentation. It restores worth. It awakens the embodied Divine.
The Rose Flame does not call us to ascend as an escape from this world. It calls us into reunion. It roots us more deeply into the living body of the Earth, sacred, sovereign, and fully alive. It is the flame of the awakened heart, remembering itself through grace, beauty, devotion, voice, and love.
The Rose Flame reminds us that beauty is holy.
The voice is prayer.
Grief is ceremony.
The body is a temple.
And the soul is held sacred—not in spite of suffering, but through it.
Why the Rose Flame Returns Now
The Rose Flame returns now because humanity stands at the threshold of a new era.
It is time to return to the heart. It is time to remember unity, co-creation, and cooperation. We as a species are ready to heal the wounds born of fear, domination, separation, and survival. We do so by creating a world guided by love, wisdom, and reverence for life.
The awakening of the Divine Feminine within our souls is not only the restoration of our humanity. It is the reclamation of our divinity.
Perhaps humanity is ready to remember who we have always been.
