Weekly Thoughts & Guidance: Week beg. 28th February, 2022

Shamanic Healer & Herbalist

It's a late post this week - sorry about that. It's been a long week, too, and I think quite soul-searching for some. I have a couple of things in the pipeline, so expect another post or two mid-week to update you all on those. I'm looking forward to getting into the garden more from next week and really getting stuck into my herbs. I also feel like, over the past two months, my shamanic work has gone "up a level". Hard to explain exactly what that means, but it's like gears have shifted and I can feel and sense things differently (better) and can move energy more specifically. I don't know why that might be, but I associate it with the same kind of energy that has me learning (mostly about herbs) at the rate of knots at the moment. I think it's partly planetary. My mind really does feel like a sponge and I also feel like I'm learning spherically - not just in linear motion. It's a great feeling, but I'm trying to pace myself (which is hard because I'm a naturally fast-paced person!).

Today, I feel to turn a card over for this coming week (from 28th February), but not to talk about it. So I'm going to turn one of the Fairy Tarot Cards, by Radleigh Valentine, which have wording at the bottom for you to expand on, take inspiration from, and grow from:

Four of Spring | Four of Wands

"Be grateful; you have much to celebrate! Deep feelings of peace and happiness. A contented personal life."

Well, that's quite nice! If you don't immediately relate (maybe because you don't feel very cheery right now), then simply look at the theme of the card and ask yourself how the theme is relevant: home, community, celebration, marriage, union, stability. Perhaps it's a theme or area of your life you need to work on to create that level of contentment; perhaps you already are working towards that. The positive energy is there, though, so do try and focus on that.

I'm going to leave everyone with a little video I threw together earlier (literally threw it together which is partly the reason the audio isn't great - that and my cat who needed my legs to lie on. How dare I try to record things properly when he wants a cuddle?!)

The video was to demonstrate a simple way we can thank and complete (bring closure to) those natural cycles of life and death in a positive way through care and ritual / ceremony - a nice thing to do for our plant people. Earth medicine is the best medicine :)

Have a wonderful week.
