This degree speaks of the persistence of welcoming energy in a place that has been abandoned by its inhabitants.
"Warmth without a witness"
A blazing fireplace in a deserted home creates an atmosphere of welcome for no one. This image speaks to the nature of warmth itself — that genuine hospitality and care persist even when no one is present to appreciate them. Love does not require an audience.
The unintegrated expression of this degree presents as the warmth that is a waste, or the belief that the care is only valuable when it is being witnessed.
Your own warmth keeps going even when nobody's around to see it, and that's enough to get you through.
An intuitive instinct for identifying what has decayed and challenging it to meet its potential. This gate sees where patterns, systems, and relationships need healing, perfecting from a place of love.
