As an author, you never quite know where inspiration will strike, or who might be walking beside you as you write.

In my most profound moments of creativity, I’ve often felt the presence of something more, a guiding hand, a sense of protection, and messages that arrive just when I need them. Only recently have I come to understand that presence by name:

Saint Gideon, my spirit guide, my guardian, my warrior prophet.

Spirit guides have long been spoken of in both ancient texts and spiritual traditions. They are divine helpers, sent not to control our path, but to illuminate it. They work with us in quiet ways. Through dreams, sudden clarity, or subtle signs, nudging us back toward truth, courage, and purpose.

For writers, these moments can become life-altering. When doubt whispers, when fear closes in, or when the next word simply won’t come, it’s often then that a guide steps in, unseen, but unmistakably felt.

In my case, Gideon appeared not just as inspiration, but as a protector of my life’s calling. With him comes a sense of direction that defies doubt. He stands robed, hooded, with a sacred book in his hand, a symbol of my own journey in writing, prophecy, and spiritual testimony.

His presence reminds me daily: what we create in faith echoes far beyond the page.

I invite you to meet him and explore his story, and maybe, just maybe, reflect on who might be guiding you.
