Tefnut Spirals (Patreon)

I caught my own silhouette in the mirror before I caught my breath.

The room was quiet except for the faint hum of incense, curling upward like a secret whispered to the ceiling. I shifted slightly, letting the dim blue light graze the curve of my back, and for a moment I imagined it wasn’t me at all, but Tefnut — the ancient spiral of moisture and breath — drifting through her own reflection.

My hair slipped over one shoulder as I leaned closer to the glass, my skin warming beneath the slow bloom of the roses resting near my hip. Their petals brushed me like a reminder: You’re here, you’re real, even in this dream-soft light.

From this angle, I didn’t see my full face, just the outline of it — quiet, almost contemplative — like I was studying myself from another life. The mirror held me gently, revealing only what I was willing to show, concealing the rest in shadow and smoke. I liked the tease of it, the way mystery softened even the parts of me I so often examined too harshly.

I breathed out slowly, tracing the faint spirals of condensation that had gathered on the glass.

Somewhere between the roses, the darkness, and my own reflection, I felt something ancient stir — a wildness, a calm, a knowing.

And I let it stay with me a moment longer
