Sometimes it’s impossible to connect with a sense of soul’s purpose. Life can feel like a dreary trudge from work to the grocery store to your desk piled with bills. In those moments, when you feel far from magical or mystical, call on Labradorite. The Inuit people say that Labradorite was an ordinary-seeming stone until it was struck open by a mighty warrior. Suddenly, Labradorite’s matrix was revealed: inside the ordinary was dancing fire. The lights leaped from the stone into the sky, becoming the aurora borealis. Labradorite reminds you that you are both the ordinary-seeming stone and the mighty warrior. You have the power to release your own secret depths and light the night sky with your flame.
Ritual 
One Nordic myth teaches that the aurora borealis connects us to the heavens. It’s a pathway to the afterlife for the recently deceased as well as a shaman’s bridge between our material existence and the planes of pure spirit. This connection to the divine realms is the essence of Labradorite.
Whether a wick, a stick, or a gas, fire needs fuel. What fuels your flame? Do you know what lights you up and stirs your passion? If not, ask the fire over seven consecutive nights.
On the first night, light one candle. The next night, light two. The next night, three, and so on for seven nights. As you light each candle, hold the questions in your heart:
What is my fuel?
What lights me up?
Journal what comes to you in the moment as well as noting dreams and synchronicities.
Reflection
An acorn has everything it needs — all the resources and nourishment, understandings and patterns — to become an oak tree. We are much the same: everything we are becoming is encoded within us. With light and water and space, we grow. But sometimes we get hung up. Like an acorn caught in a spider’s web and unable to reach the ground, we feel like we can’t take root. We lose sight of any destiny beyond our daily doings. But the pattern is still there, like the fire of Labradorite hidden in the ordinary stone.
When you were young, did you feel a sense of greater purpose?
Can you reach back to that feeling now? You don’t need to name your purpose or destiny, simply feel it, and bask in the sensation of having a life’s mission.
