The invisible pull and remembrance

Ancient memories, sacred markings and the invisible threads that bring us together - following the pull we cannot always explain. What if some things are not discovered, but remembered?
Imagine a sacred space, a temple thousands of years ago.The air is filled with incense. The outside world feels very far away. Women are gathered together, and a sacred ritual is happening inside. A woman is receiving an amulet - not as decoration, but as something that carries meaning, protection, perhaps fertility, perhaps a connection to the divine.
And what is the first thought that comes to your mind when you hear the word amulet?
Something physical, right? A pendant. Maybe made of gold, decorated with precious stones. Something you can hold in your hand and carry with you.
But what if the amulet was part of your own body?
Where tattoo priestesses were channeling these profound symbols that have been interpreted as a connection with fertility, protection and magical or ritual knowledge, tattoos that assisted in the birth of a child, using skin as a canvas and tattoo as a permanent marking that was woven into the physical body and energetically in all the invisible bodies, as Egyptians believed each human has 9.
And this is where my imagination always activates.
I imagine the women gathering. I imagine the sacred space. I imagine the woman sitting there, trusting another woman with something that would become part of her body forever.
What did they talk about?
What did they know?
What did they create together?
How powerful must those gatherings have been?
We can just guess what those ceremonies looked like. So much of it has been lost to time. But somehow, the idea of women coming together to create something sacred on the body feels incredibly familiar to me.
Because from the very first moment I took a tattoo machine in my hand, it felt like remembering. Not learning a new skill, but remembering. Something in me felt like it already knew.
And almost immediately, the Light codes I had been channeling for a couple of years connected with tattooing - a very clear picture appeared in my mind - Light codes tattooed in a ceremony.It wasn’t a vague idea. It was an indescribably strong and clear vision. I could almost feel the whole thing before I had any idea how it would become real.
And sometimes I wonder...
Was my body remembering something?
Was there something from another lifetime, another place, another story that I couldn’t consciously remember but somehow recognised?
Why did something I had never done before feel so familiar?
Maybe we are more connected to our past than we understand - our bodies remember things our minds don’t. And the threads of our lives stretch much further back than we can see.
I do know that the resonance I feel with the history of ancient tattooing - especially with the women, tattoo priestesses, who may have used tattooing within ritual and protective contexts - feels like recognition.
And perhaps that is what this whole journey has been about for me - remembering.Not becoming someone new. But remembering something that was already there.
Today, my tattoo ceremonies are for anyone who feels called to receive one - women and men alike.There have been more women drawn to the ceremonies so far, but I have also had beautiful experiences with men receiving their Light codes through tattoo. The ceremony isn’t about gender. It’s about the individual, their intention, and the symbol they are choosing to carry.
Different time. Different place. Different tools.
But perhaps the same very human impulse: to mark something meaningful on the body.
Travellers from afar
The experiences of this invisible pull towards my work that I have witnessed are deep, and sometimes even a little unbelievable.
✦ People feeling an instant YES! without even knowing what to expect.
✦ Someone seeing my poster on the street and feeling almost hypnotised by it - not really understanding what it is, but somehow knowing they need to find out.
✦ People who install Instagram and create an account just to contact me and receive their symbol.
✦ Someone finding my work and simply knowing.
I love hearing these little stories, because sometimes recognition comes before understanding.
And there are two very special stories that will always stay close to my heart.
The first one began with a Facebook post - an old post of mine, probably half a year old or a bit more - about me tattooing in Europe.
Two women in Austria were looking for someone who could tattoo a very special symbol one of them had received from a shaman in the Amazon jungle in Peru (another invisible connection to us ✨). They somehow found my post. One of them said, “It’s not possible she’s still in Europe.” The other one said, “Write to her. Who knows?”
So they wrote. And it wasn’t planned, but - I was still in Europe.
We had a call, and during our conversation they discovered that I was also channeling Light codes. That sparked an even stronger interest.
And then something happened that still makes me smile when I think about it - they made a plan. They bought plane tickets. They travelled from Austria to Latvia to meet me and to receive these tattoos.
Two women who had never met me before decided that whatever this was, they needed to experience it.
And so we had two incredibly beautiful sessions - for one of them, we combined the shipibo symbol she had received in the Amazon with her Light code. For the other - we tattooed her Light code.
There was so much emotion in those sessions - so much laughter, so many happy tears.I remember them standing in front of the mirror afterwards for a decent amount of time, looking at their tattoos and simply crying.
Something had clicked. There was this feeling of recognition - of seeing themselves, their souls reflected in the symbols they were now carrying on their bodies.
Just by watching them, the tears appeared in my eyes as well. And I find that incredibly special.
The second story is shorter, but just as meaningful to me.
I met this woman in Peru, where I gave her a small tattoo. Afterwards, she asked me to channel her Light code. When she received it, she looked at it and said: “I want to meet you somewhere in the world and receive this as a tattoo too.”
More than a year passed. Countries changed. And eventually our paths aligned again.
She flew from Hungary to Latvia and we met again. And I tattooed her beautiful Light code.
I sometimes think about these stories and how strange (in the best way possible) they are from the outside.
What makes someone travel for something they can’t fully explain?
Why does the body sometimes recognise something before the mind can explain it?
Why does one symbol make someone stop scrolling?
Why does one poster on a street make someone think: this is what I’ve been looking for.
Why does someone who doesn’t even have an Instagram account decide to create one just to find me?
I have witnessed it enough times now that I no longer question whether the pull is real.
And it honestly blows my mind that people are willing to make space in their lives, rearrange their plans, buy plane tickets and travel across countries to receive a tattoo and ceremony from someone they have never met - sometimes without a recommendation, without knowing exactly what to expect, simply because something inside them says: Yes. This.
And every time it happens, I feel incredibly grateful. Not because it makes me feel important or more special. But because it reminds me that this work exists for a reason.
That somewhere along the way, my soul remembered something that feels deeply, undeniably mine.
And every soul who finds their way to me reminds me: I really did find the thing I came here to do.
And actually this is what Light codes are here to do - to make your soul remember your path, your mission. All of this happened and unfolded for me after receiving my own Light code. It didn’t happen in a day, but it brought me to a path I never imagined in my bravest dreams, that’s what I can say from my own experience.

A new chapter for the Light codes
For a while now, I’ve been thinking about channeling special Light codes for particular intentions and purposes. I kept wondering what it could be for.
And then the ideas started coming. Actually... quite a lot of them. I made a whole list. But hey, let’s start slowly..
One idea was especially strong and kept wandering around in my mind for quite some time: the Womb healing Light code 🌹
I felt this one very deeply. It felt like a powerful and very special offering to my sisters all around the world ❤️
As women, we can carry so many layers within our bodies and energetic fields - generational stories, suppression, unprocessed grief, shame, emotional imprints and ties to past relationships. We may carry stories from our female lineage that were never ours to live, yet somehow became part of what we inherited.
This Light code offers a gentle space to meet what has been carried, without judgement. To bring the sadness, grief and heaviness into the light - and create space for something new to move through you.
Use it to reconnect with your life force energy, creativity, sensuality and intuition. Allow yourself to soften into your body, listen to your natural rhythms and reconnect with the wisdom of your feminine nature.
Your womb is a sacred portal - a place of creation, intuition, sensuality, life force energy and deep feminine knowing.Through this portal, you can begin remembering the ancient wisdom that lives within you.
Your womb remembers.
You are the medicine.
And now this Light code is available, together with other special Light codes - for all the chakras and more - in my brand new online shop. And I will add more as soon as they come.
You can find them as digital files to download, print and connect with.
Use them as a personal tool, bring them into your meditation or other practices, place them in your space, or simply spend some time with the symbol and see what it awakens in you.
