She Who Burns The Veil by Tashina Marie  Image: She rises from within the storm of stars—not as a figure, but as force.
 Her body is made of ember and echo, her face carved in memory and fire.
 She does not illuminate the way, nor weave the stars into song.
 She burns through illusion.
Her presence is not gentle—it is searing.
 She is the flame that clears the forgetting.
A truth-teller cloaked in chaos, she does not come to comfort. She comes to awaken.
In every age, there are those who carry the fire—
 Who walk into the dark not to escape it, but to see clearly.
 Who strip away illusion, sever old spells, and call the soul back to itself.
She is one of them.
 She is the one who sets the falsehoods ablaze.
 The one who burns through silence, denial, and forgetting—so that something truer may rise.
Her story echoes through many names and none:
 Pele, the island-maker.
 Kali, the liberator.
 The Phoenix, the Crone, the flame within the sacred forge.
 She is also the unnamed ones—the ancestral women who whispered their names into the fire, daring to be remade.
This is not destruction for its own sake.
 This is alchemy.
 This is the holy blaze of becoming.
She is the fire that does not consume, but reveals.
 She is the light that blinds only so you can see.
She who burns the veil reminds us:
 What cannot withstand the fire was never truth to begin with.
