GUARDIAN 8 — SCORPIO The Shadow Alchemist

Guardians of the Rose

8. SCORPIO The Shadow Alchemist

Black-Violet Rose — Transformation • Depth • Sacred Power

Invocation

A hush falls.
The air thickens.
The world around you dims — not in fear, but in focus.

From the depths of the unseen, a figure emerges:
ancient, luminous, unafraid of the dark.

The Shadow Alchemist is the one who knows
what it means to die before dying —
to shed skins, identities, illusions, and stories
until only truth remains.

They stand before you with eyes that see everything.

With a voice like fire wrapped in velvet, they whisper:

“Do not fear what you feel.
Do not fear what you’ve avoided.
Let us walk into the depths together —
for transformation is your birthright.”

Transmission / Message

A Message from The Shadow Alchemist

“Beloved, release your fear of depth —
for depth is where your truth lives.

Let the old die with dignity.
Let the false fall away.
Let your heart breathe again.

You are not meant to remain who you were.
You are meant to transform,
again and again,
until you remember your power.

Walk with me.
You will not be lost.
You will be reborn.”
