The Fire That Found Me

Meeting Archangel Nathaniel when I was finally ready to receive him

There are certain energies that don’t fully land the first time we encounter them.
Sometimes they drift in, hover on the edge of awareness, then quietly slip away — not rejected, just… not ready to be explored, recieved.

That’s how it’s been with myself and Archangel Nathaniel.

He’s crossed my path twice before and yet something about his presence didn’t quite connect, I didn’t resonate with his essence in the way I have done with other Archangels - it felt a elusive, distant, just not for me.

Until last week.

I was on my way to revisit a space that’s been quietly calling to me — a potential home for something beautiful, something I’m dreaming into being right now — when I popped to see Mel as my Sandalphon spray had turned into a bit of a water pistol during our last full moon practice.

As she worked her magic, we chatted about the shift into Leo season - I mentioned how I’d been sensing Archangel Metatron — all that solar clarity, structure, higher alignment. But then Mel offered another perspective.

“What about Archangel Nathaniel?”

There was something about the way she said it.
This time… I listened.
This time… I felt him.

We paused and invited him in and his energy — so different to before — washed over me in the most subtle yet powerful way. Not loud, not forceful, but deeply invigorating, strong and certain.
It was about direction.
Clarity.
That unmistakable sense of sacred momentum.

Since that moment, I’ve been working with him, gently, quietly.Inviting his fire support me — nurturing the flames of something already alive within me.

The passion has ignited.
The vision has sharpened.
The action feels aligned, effortless, embodied.

It’s as though something clicked into place — a puzzle piece I didn’t even realise was missing.

Nathaniel came back just as I was ready to receive him and this time, I said yes!

I share this because I think so many of us experience these moments — when something we once overlooked or resisted returns with new meaning, new depth, new resonance.

If that’s been true for you lately, I invite you to honour it.
Maybe an energy, a guide or a dream has circled back around.
Maybe it’s whispering: “Now.”

If you'd like to share, I’d love to hear. Or simply take a moment to acknowledge it quietly and honour the journey that brought you here — and the flame that’s maybe now ready to rise.
