I didn’t go looking for this.
There was no flash of light, no grand initiation—just an ache.
A longing that lived in the quiet places inside me, and in moonlight on water. In tears that came too easily.
In the way I stood at the edge of the sea and felt not wonder—but recognition and longing. A deep inescapable longing I couldn’t fill.
Then, as I was doing research into Star Seeds, something inside me stirred when I read the word Mintakan.
It wasn’t understanding in the strictest sense, it was more like remembering, or recognition. The way you feel when you see an actor you know in a movie, but can’t quite put your finger on where you’ve seen them before. It was a memory not of events, but of feeling.
The softness of light refracting through crystal seas.
The safety of being fully seen. The sound of joy in water.
The pain of losing something so beautiful… I must have made a vow to find it again.
I’ve always loved oceans—but I didn’t know I came from one.
💧 Mintakan The Rememberers of Purity and Peace
✨ Soul Mission: To embody unconditional love, emotional clarity, and soul-deep harmony. Mintakan Starseeds are here to remind the world of what it feels like to be safe, seen, and whole. They are frequency holders of unity, compassion, and purity of heart.
They don’t come to change the world through force—they come to heal it with light.
I find it extremely compelling that my first book was about beings called The Fey of the Light, who revered Light in all it’s healing forms. My poetry and stories have always embodied Light, Love, Hope, Joy, and centered around Unity and Compassion. Similarly, in my second trilogy, The Mercy Series – now under revision- the Angel sent here to Earth to find a person who embodies mercy actually used Light as a source of power, health, revitalization, and strength. So when I read this, my heart lurched inside me. It felt like a powerful tug, something so strong I couldn’t possibly ignore it.
🕊️ Essence & Energy:
Mintakans come from a now-lost water world in the Orion constellation—said to have been a crystalline oceanic paradise of harmony, clarity, and grace. The destruction of their home world left a soul-deep ache that Mintakans often carry into their Earth lives as a subtle but persistent homesickness. Their energy is gentle, luminous, and incredibly empathic. These souls often gravitate toward beauty, water, and emotional depth.
Reading this sparked several memories in me. First and most significant is the constellation Orion. It seems whenever I look up into the starry sky, my gaze is drawn to Orion first and lingers there the longest. Most particularly, the three stars that form Orion’s belt. At the mention of the word Homesickness, I thought about how I’ve always felt drawn to someone/ or perhaps something / that was distant from me. Someone or something I was parted from. You only have to read a few of my poems to see this illustrated.
I often describe myself as ridiculously empathic, and even when taking personality tests, empathy is always my highest/strongest trait. Emotional stories, movies, and songs have always been my favourites and I cry easily…I even cried at the end of Mission Impossible- The Final Recokoning when Luther speaks his message (no spoilers). I remember as a child loving the song ‘Send in the Clowns’. I wasn’t sure why, but I connected with it and usually cried when listening to it.
Perhaps most significantly, whenever I am at the beach, I find myself battling a nearly irrepressible urge to move and live there in that seaside town. It’s not the town that calls to me, it’s the ocean.
Mintakan’s have a soul-gift of sitting beside brokenness—without judgment, without needing to fix it—and loving it anyway. It’s the rare, sacred ability to remain present with pain, especially emotional pain, without turning away. To create an energetic field—a space—where another being feels safe enough to soften, unravel, and begin to heal.
For Mintakan souls, this might look like:
-
Listening deeply while someone cries, without interrupting or offering platitudes
-
Staying open-hearted around people who are closed off, bitter, or hurting
-
Seeing the humanity beneath the hurt
-
Being a gentle, unwavering presence—even when others are messy, angry, grieving, or afraid
-
Offering unconditional love, even for those who can’t yet love themselves
All of this doesn’t mean sacrificing yourself to save others. It means your very presence carries a frequency of safety—of peace so pure, others feel safe simply by being near you. Mintakans don’t heal through force. They heal through invitation—by being a calm shore that calls the storm inward to rest. Though often quiet or soft-spoken, they radiate a presence that uplifts everything around them.
Reading this section brought tears to my eyes and literally made me shake. This is me! Little wonder I had two failed marriages joined to an emotionally unhealthy person early in my life: I couldn’t walk away from them. Everything inside me cried out ‘try again, try something different’. Not because I’m a glutton for abuse, but because I long to heal. Also, isn’t it interesting that I created the character Ayla (from Dark Fey, now entitled The Shadowbound and due for republication soon!) who heals others through empathy? Perhaps this is also why the Original Star Trek episode “The Empath.” from Season 3, Episode 12 has always connected with me in a way I could never quite understand or express. But now I understand, because it’s the story of a quietly powerful healer, one who suffers in silence, who feels everything but chooses compassion anyway.
🌫️ Core Challenges:
Mintakan Starseeds often struggle with boundaries—not because they are weak, but because they are wired for unity. At a soul level, they remember a world where separation did not exist, where love flowed freely, and where all beings lived in harmonic connection. In this lifetime, they may give too much of themselves—emotionally, energetically, even physically—in an unconscious attempt to recreate that unity they still ache for.
They may overextend compassion, offer forgiveness before it’s safe, or absorb the pain of others as their own. To them, healing is not merely an act, it’s life. But in a place where harmony and unity are rarely the norm, Earth can feel harsh and alien. The disconnection, the exploitation, the cruelty—it cuts deep. Many Mintakan souls carry a grief that’s hard to name. It’s not just sorrow for what may have happened to them, but for a world that doesn’t yet reflect the peace they remember. This dissonance can lead to heartbreak, emotional exhaustion, or quiet despair. Yet even in their pain, they hold the frequency of hope, because they don’t just remember what was lost—they are here to bring it back.
I’ve always struggled with conflict—not because I fear confrontation, but because I feel it too deeply. Violence, cruelty, exploitation and destruction affect me on a soul level. I can’t watch scenes of suffering, especially when they involve animals, children, or the Earth itself. It doesn’t just upset me—it makes me physically ill, heart-sick with sorrow. Sometimes I wonder how others move through the world untouched by it all. How can they not see that everything is connected? The seemingly simple truth that when we harm one, we harm the whole?
To me, that truth isn’t simply an idea.
It’s a felt reality.
A memory I can’t un-remember. Little wonder the core meaning behind Dark Fey/The Shadowbound is “The Only Way to Achieve Peace is by Becoming Peace.”
🔍 If you too are Mintakan, You Might Notice:
-
You cry easily—at beauty, at music, at kindness
-
You’re most at peace near water or beneath the stars
-
You’re drawn to emotional healing, sacred spaces, or soft aesthetics
-
You long for deep, safe love—but may feel like you don’t quite belong anywhere
-
You carry a softness that some mistake for fragility, but is actually your greatest strength!
A Soft Return to the Shore
Maybe you’ve felt this too.
A yearning you couldn’t explain.
A tenderness that others called “too much.”
A homesickness that didn’t point to any place on a map.
Maybe you’ve always known that healing doesn’t happen through force but through quiet patient presence. Through light. Through love that lingers long enough for others to breathe. If any part of this story stirred something in you—if your tears welled, your heart tightened, or you felt that aching resonance rise from somewhere deeper than thought—then perhaps you are remembering, too.
Remembering that you are a strand of light from a world that once shimmered in peace. And now, you are here, to be the gentle patience in a world of calamity. To remember what was forgotten and be the calm shore someone else can rest upon.
Perhaps there’s a simple a truth you’ve always carried. That the tide that’s rising again is in you. 💙🌊
