Petals of the Threshold

Gate of Ember blazes upward like a question to the stars. Its petals curl and rise with a tension that feels alive—arcs of amber and blue reaching, stretching, almost trembling with intent. At its heart, a golden spiral turns, suggesting movement, ignition, initiation.

This is the threshold at its most electric—the moment before the leap, the breath before the flame. A flower forged of contrast and courage, daring you to say yes to transformation.

It doesn’t whisper—it beckons.

Vein of Stillness invites you inward. Wide-petaled and symmetrical, it feels like a breath held in sacred space. Cool tones of turquoise and pearl ripple outward, their motion gentle, measured—like the quiet pulse beneath still water.

At its center: a soft spiral. Not a signal to act, but to listen. To know. This is the threshold as sanctuary—the liminal place where nothing moves, yet everything changes.

A bloom not of fire, but of peace.
Not the call, but the echo that follows.
