The Sentinel
"Good fences make good neighbours." — Robert Frost
The Sentinel stands watch over sacred ground, guarding the borders of self with calm vigilance. Boundaries are not walls to control others, but shields to protect energy, integrity, and peace.
Control is an illusion; the Sentinel teaches that authority begins with the self. By clearly defining limits and holding them steadfastly, the world learns how to interact with respect and clarity. Shouting is unnecessary—presence and consistency speak louder than fear.
Energy is sacred, and the Sentinel honours it without compromise. Each boundary is a testament to self-respect, guiding relationships toward balance, trust, and understanding.
The Sentinel reminds you: vigilance is not aggression. Protect what is yours, nurture what sustains you, and stand firm in the quiet strength of self-sovereignty.

- How can you practice guarding your "sacred ground" without needing to control others?
- What does "standing watch" over your own needs look like on a daily basis?
