Light on Fire
Support your Awakening & Inner Transformation
It’s a painful thing to feel a deep longing to Awaken but to have no idea where to begin and no one to guide you. On the other hand, if you are already having spontaneous spiritual or mystical experiences associated with Awakening that you don’t understand and don’t know how to process or integrate you can feel anxious, lost, and confused. It’s lonely when you cannot find people who understand what you are living through, and both situations need tender soul care, gentle guidance, and strong support. However, precisely the wisdom, the spiritual guidance that we need to support us has been lost by a culture obsessed with science and materialism. Our religions have also abandoned their intended role of offering true care to the awakening soul. Many of us on the spiritual path end up feeling lost at a primordial level and have to figure out the way forward ourselves.
Aedamar shares the story of her deep engagement with the path and process of her Awakening in Light on Fire: Waking Up to Divine Love.

AEDAMAR’S STORY
An Author’s Journey
In Light on Fire Aedamar tells the story of her spontaneous mystical experiences that began in 2015 and her struggle to understand and process what was happening. She was unable to find anyone in her church or culture who would help, guide, or support her. In fact she encountered the opposite – people who wanted to put her off and shut her down. Her confusion, frequent despair, and frustration motivated her to figure it out for herself — and that is what she did.
Determined to find the wisdom and frames of interpretation necessary to engage meaningfully with beautiful but challenging Awakening experiences, Aedamar has spent the past ten years researching, studying, meditating, and deeply seeking to understand the experiential path of inner transformation for her own sake, and so that she can pass the wisdom on to others.
If you are interested in Awakening, Light on Fire might help you to follow the call of your heart to Awaken to your True Self.
The Path of Gold: A Guide to Awakening
Light on Fire includes The path of Gold: A Guide to Awakening which shares all that Aedamar came to understand of the essential milestones of the awakening journey and the inner dynamics of the awakening process. Aedamar provides wise guidance for engaging with the path of your own Awakening.
‘At the heart of our brokenness there lies a mistaken belief in a fundamental separation between humanity and God — that does not in fact exist.’ — Light on Fire
REVIEWS
What People are Saying
Awakening is a deep and difficult subject for most of us even to grasp let alone normalize, but Aedamar has accomplished this in her book, Light on Fire. She connected many spiritual dots for me around awakening and consciousness.
Through her personal story of awakening and with her gifts and talents as a philosopher, researcher and writer, Aedamar puts all the pieces together for the reader in a way that is truly unique. It works and is authentic because all of her is in there. My favorite chapter that I will reread many times is - A Guide to Awakening.
Aedamar is a beautiful person inside and out. I believe this book will be wildly successful and will impact and influence many people on the planet.

The Central Task of Life is to Awaken
Even though the culture has forgotten it – the central task of life is to awaken to our true and authentic self, to honour our soul gifts, and to place them in service to the wider world. To flourish in life we need to awaken otherwise we will be impoverished in our humanity. Behind the struggle to awaken is also the struggle to find deep meaning in life. These truths are inextricably connected with each other. Without awakening we perpetuate the cycle of dysfunction that passes for culture and civilisation, and our modern world continues its spiral towards nihilism.
The task becomes one for ordinary people like you and me to find and recover the lost wisdom in all domains of life and nature, and to support ourselves and others to awaken.
Women everywhere are longing to awaken but we are struggling because the guiding wisdom and the pathways of awakening are lost. We simply don’t know how to awaken, even when we long to.
Do you Long to Awaken?
When you recognise there is more to life than the superficialities of the culture and the greed of materialism, when you feel despair at the brokenness of the political world order, and when you feel you simply cannot go on living life in the desacralized and despiritualized way in which western culture has evolved — you are already awakening.
The problem is, the wisdom and the wise elders who traditionally guided and supported us towards our awakening have been discarded as unnecessary junk by a culture obsessed with science, reason, and materialism — a culture that sees no need for the inner journey of transformation unless to instrumentalize it in service to capitalism.
Even when we want to awaken, we struggle to know how to engage in the process.
The Wider Problem
Light on Fire also addresses the wider problem of the brokenness of the world that has lost its essential grounding in Nature, Spirit, and Love. Drawing on her studies in law, literature, philosophy, and spirituality Aedamar traces the history of the de-spiritualisation of the West from Plato to The Enlightenment and identifies how we became so broken and impoverished in ourselves and in our culture. She guides the reader on a journey for how, together, we can recover the wisdom pathways that will lead us all home to Love.
Aedamar wrote this book to support others on the path to awakening. She didn’t want anyone else ever to experience the isolation and despair of not being able to find support or the contexts and frames of meaning essential for us to process our awakening. She gladly shares the wisdom ways she has recovered over nearly ten years of searching and seeking to understand her own spontaneous awakening.
‘It takes a lot of courage to walk the path of awakening in a culture that doesn’t support it. It takes a lot of inner strength to answer the call to authenticity in a culture built on superficiality. I hope Light on Fire will be a guide and a friend to you as you walk towards your awakening, your authenticity, and your truth.’ — Aedamar.
‘Since publishing Light on Fire my sense of calling to support other women on the path of Awakening has deepened and clarified. I hope my book, my mystical writing, and my work will support you well.’ — Aedamar
