Some letters are messages. This one is a calling.

We explore profound questions: What does it mean to protect someone's becoming rather than worship their beauty? How do we build altars in the mundane? What's the difference between fairytale love and path love—between fantasy and the sacred work of truly seeing another soul?

The letter speaks to those who have felt the familiar ache of almost-loves, who have been held by people who desired their presence but feared their depth. It's for souls who crave ritual, reverence, and rawness over surface attraction and temporary things.

Before and after the reading, we dive into reflective questions that invite you to examine your own relationship with love, recognition, and spiritual connection. Have you been settling for fairytales when what you really want is a path? Are you ready for love that smells like sandalwood and sounds like rain on temple roofs?
