Rising Out Of The Ashes

The Birth to

Evermoving We Rise Institute LLCTM

In the hush of the world during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when time seemed to pause, and the veil felt thin, Miss Flame heard the call—a deep, undeniable pull from Spirit to walk further along her magickal path. She answered by completing her Degree in Cleric within the Correllian Nativist Tradition, never knowing that this would be the spark to awaken something far greater.

Her mentor, the wise and encouraging Anna Rowe, saw the fire within Flame and spoke words that would change everything. She told her, “You are a leader. Your voice is strong, your teachings are clear, and you are meant to help shape the path forward.” With those words lighting the way, Miss Flame dared to dream bigger.

After thoughtful soul-searching and earning her Third Degree in Clergy, Miss Flame took a leap of faith—and on May 4, 2020, *Evermoving We Rise™ Shrine* was born. The phoenix, our guiding symbol, spread its wings and found its home in a space dedicated to spiritual growth, healing, and magickal empowerment.

When Miss Flame separated from the Correllian Nativist Tradition, the Shrine underwent a sacred transformation later that same year. Like the phoenix it embodied, Evermoving We Rise™ was reborn—rising radiant from the ashes as Evermoving We Rise Temple™. With fire in her heart and vision in her soul, Miss Flame expanded her mission: offering public online rituals, building a loving and resilient spiritual community, and co-creating the *Witch Hat Chats™* podcast to inspire others to live their magick out loud.

In 2025, the next evolution of the phoenix began to unfold.

Knowing it was time to pass on the flame and guide others to embrace their power, Miss Flame birthed Evermoving We Rise Institute, LLC™ on March 10, 2025. A sacred sanctuary for transformation, learning, and soulful leadership, the Institute now stands as a beacon for the next generation—those ready to step boldly into their truth and Own Their Magick™.

 Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,

I am the dream and the hope of the slave.

I rise

I rise

I rise.”*
