Passing through the witching hour, identical twin girls, Vanessa born first then Lee-ann 8 minutes later, entered the world beneath the African sky, overlooking Pretoria's Die Ou Moeder's Bond Maternity Hospital, at a birth weight of just 1.418kgs.
Their journey began in the harshest of ways, shaped by difficulty and a quiet battle for survival.
From their very first breath, the world demanded resilience, as if testing their strength, yet even in their most fragile beginnings, there was a sense of purpose woven through their struggle, a whisper that they were meant to endure, to rise, and to carry something far greater than their tiny bodies could yet reveal.
Their innocence began slipping away around the age of four, taken piece by piece by every person who crossed their lives. Whilst one twin's mind fractured under the weight of what she could not escape, she splintered into severe dissociation as a means of survival. The other rose above the limits of human pain, finding solace in places unseen, and in time, she became her sister's eyes and ears, carrying the broken reality her twin could no longer carry.
Their twin bond and private language was tightly held in a bloodline marked by alcoholism, prolonged ritual abuse, secrets, familial dysfunction, and instability; an ancestral landscape fractured long before their arrival. Their purpose was not merely to survive the legacy they'd inherited, but to one day, in divine timing, transform it.
Lee-ann's Journey
The greatest lesson I learned through adversity and incomprehensible struggle, was that you have to go in, to get out, and no matter how difficult it can become, YOU are your strength and resilience, and don't ever give up on yourself or your dreams. YOU are not your trauma; you are what you choose to be.
Vanessa's Journey
Vanessa was an ultra-sensitive child who saw beauty in everything and everyone. She forgave easily and wanted nothing more than to live in a peaceful, loving world. From the age of 4, she became the fixer and the people-pleaser within the family unit, even at the cost of self-sacrificing (one of her greatest lessons to overcome).
She felt and read energies from a young age, therefore understanding on a soul level, the gift of alchemy, and the journey of the lone wolf, unspoken.
