A Deer, an Acorn, and Archangel Michael Walk Into a Forest

Something wild and beautiful happened today. Not loud, not dramatic — just unmistakable.

I went on a nature walk, hoping to clear my head and feel the Full Moon. Instead, I felt something bigger: a day that felt alive with signs and support.

🦌 A young deer watched me with such stillness I held my breath. In my mind young deer reflect beauty, grace and innocence. Or new beginnings.

🖤 A black butterfly landed gently in front of me as if to say "you're transforming through gentle rest. Soon you'll fly."

💙 A blue jay flew from right to left — connecting heart to intuition.

⏱️ My watch blinked 2:22 and then 1:44. The number of sacred connections and the presence of many angel guides.

🌰 An acorn dropped from the tree I sat under and fell directly into my hair. I laughed. Something is shifting, I thought. This nature walk is alive and transmitting!

These messages might mean something different to you than they mean for me and that's perfect. We all have our own intuition, contexts and a codex of signs, symbols, songs, phrases that have meaning to US. The Universe knows and will use them to give us guidance, support, magic or some extra love. 🌷

I sat under that same tree and began channeling Archangel Michael by calling on their energy and inviting them to work through my pen as I wrote in my journal. The message was full of grace and truth (I’ll share it below). And right in the middle of writing it…a confident, strong, smiling man (evocative of the Michael energy) ran right past me where I sat off-trail, made eye contact, and said,“Hello.” Universe, I see you. 😏💫

Later, I returned to my car and glanced at the license plate next to mine: “EMA 4005” 4 + 5 = 9 — a sacred number I associate with Michael. And “EMA”? It echoed in my inner knowing like a message: “Energy of Michael Aligned." I felt the confirmation that what I was experiencing and the messages I was receiving were real.

When I asked Archangel Michael for guidance under that tree, here’s what I received:

✨ Message from Archangel Michael:

"Child of Light, you have struggled long and hard. Now it is time to put down your fighting sword. There is no more fight. No more fear. Only love — in quantities you cannot conceive.

You are a Channel, a Healer, an Oracle, a Lightbringer. What you do with your gifts is up to you. We will walk beside you as you choose.

Prioritize your rest, your nourishment, your healing. Stay open — to hearing us, to love, and to new beginnings. Someone is coming to help you. It’s a surprise. You’re going to like it. 😉

That is all for now. We are Michael. And we love you.”

Maybe this message is for you, too. Maybe your heart is asking for a sign. Maybe the Universe is already whispering…

Take a walk.

Ask the light.

And when the signs come — even if it's an acorn in your hair or a confident stranger on your path — receive them.

Optional Closing:

📝 Journal prompt:What if you didn’t have to fight anymore? What if help, beauty, and love are already trying to reach you?
