Pastel Easter colors

Jungian Archetype {Maiden · Independent, Careless, Vulnerable} 
#VattaGoddessesoftheWind

🌸The maiden archetype inspires us to be whimsical-wild, free-spirited, independent, brave, and hopeful. She is generally waiting for life to happen to her. When the maiden archetype is dominant in a woman's psyche, she exudes an effervescent, eternally youthful quality. 

🌸The Greek goddess Persephone's journey into the underworld teaches us a lot about how the maiden archetype manifests itself. Persephone, the innocent maiden, the sheltered (or caged) daughter, who runs away. As the "runway", the maiden archetype presents as a creative, irresponsible, rebellious woman, who finds herself drawn to risky situations and even dark, abusive relationships. She ultimately becomes Queen of the underworld. Maiden archetype women become Queens only after enduring significant emotional and/or physical loss. Mature maidens are creative, compassionate, spiritual, and capable of displaying profound inner strength.

🌸Greatest strengths: Empathy, Creativity.
🌸Challenges: Emotional Co-dependency, diffidence, may be drawn to dangerous situations.

Goodbye, Spring!💚🌿 Hello, Summer.🔥 #Beltane #FestesdePrimavera

April WATER

thewomanwhomarriedabearWhen the weather warms up the wood cook stove still comes in handy for drying herbs.
::
We’ve been traveling around with @ladyursus talking about cleansing lore and cleaning.
::
These last few days things have finally cleared up after the Dark Moon and the intensity of the last few weeks.
::
Here in the PNW, it’s been wild rains, and beautiful sunny days, and dark clouds hanging over our heads like the ghosts of winter.
::
T.S. Eliot called April the cruelest month for a reason; her moods are mercurial. It’s a time of joy & darkness. Many folks feel unsettled in this time.
::
It’s seedling time, wild greens time, blossom time, cleaning time. It’s a moment to tie up loose ends, to take care of lingering things you’ve been putting off. Call that friend (or your mom) you’ve been meaning to visit with, finish that paperwork (congrats on your taxes, y’all), and put away those winter clothes (not too far).
::
To settle in, be calmed, we must clear space and spring clean. There’s a reason why this season invites us to sweep out our winter nests. To clear out the dark season of inwardness and meditation, and make room for the light.

::
@ladyursus always says that sweeping clears not just dirt, but energy, because energy clings to matter. Sweeping is her meditation, her sacred practice. That’s a great thing to consider as we move from room to room, moving old energy ahead of us, bringing in new energy in the form of fresh flowers & herbs.
::
I always tell folks in class of the Celtic & Bavarian myth that we must spring clean in April so that The May Queen will come! Then in May we’re not allowed to sweep, as spring settles in, and makes a home for summer.
::
Seriously y’all, if we don’t get to cleaning, spring will never come!
::
Do you have a FAVORITE SPRING CLEANING or CLEANSING PRACTICE?

For the month of April we'll be exploring the Water element. Humans are mostly water-based, and therefore resonate strongly with this element.
It is the strongest of the Elements (Aether aside) "Water swallow up the earth, extinguishes the flame, ascends on high, and by stretching forth as clouds challenges the heavens for their own, and the same falling down, becomes the cause of all things that grow in the earth."
⍛ • ⍛ • ⍛ • ⍛ • ⍛ • ⍛ • ⍛ • ⍛ • ⍛
Water is purifying, healing, soothing and loving.
It is the Divine Feminine.
It's cosmic rulers are the Moon and Venus.
It's the element to channel when working with Cats, Frogs, Dolphins, Whales, the order of Sirenia, Otters, Seals, Water Snakes, Sea Birds, and most Fish familiars.
It's elemental beings to channel are Undines, creatures that thrive on intention, love, devotion and gratitude. These beings include Nereides (in the Mediterranean), Naiades (in springs and rivers), Limniads (in lakes, marshes and swamps), and Oceanids or Mermaids (in the sea).
It's deities are Aphrodite, Isis, Yemaya, Ea or Enki, Mary Magdalene, Mariamne, Tiamat, Neptune, Poseidon, Osiris, Sedna, and Njord.

He salido a dar unas hojas a Saga, ¡y me he encontrado un cascarón de huevo abierto!

What Is An Energy Healer? 🧙‍✨🔮🌱💚
If you are a highly sensitive person, you are probably also an Energy Healer-- the modern shamans.
In fact, that's the reason why you were born a highly sensitive person!
To bring healing into the world.

White witch and good witch are qualifying terms in English used to distinguish practitioners of folk magic for benevolent purposes (i.e. white magic) from practitioners of malevolent witchcraft or black magic.

Processes of Being an Energy Healer 🧙‍✨🔮🌱💚
There are 2 ways this works.
One is automatic... it happens when you are not conscious of the process.
The other is voluntary... you can choose to do it.

An Energetic Filter 🧙‍✨🔮🌱💚
The first way that highly sensitive people are Energy Healers is by far the most dangerous.
By their very nature, highly sensitive people take on energies from the world around them, in an unconscious attempt to heal the world.
Then they must process these energies.
This is a noble undertaking, but it is not without its hazards.
The energy fields you take on will mostly be negative energy. Why? Simply because that's the standard energy vibration in the world, so far. This means that on a daily basis, harmful energy can permeate your personal human energy field.
You can protect yourself, once you become aware of this. The self-protection for highly sensitive people is the first step in coming into your power, as an Energy Healer.
And it is vital!
Without it, you will end up too sick, deranged, or dead to be of help to anyone.
I don't want to be an alarmist. But it really is true that you must learn to shield yourself, for your own safety. It is training in becoming aware of yourself and keeping your personal energy fields clear and bright.
- From: Wicca SpiritualityEarth-based Enlightment
“The Healing Witch reveals unfailing support and guidance, influencing your romantic heart while presenting truthful knowledge. She nutures others with warmth and comfort.
A situation that heightens your intuition and renews your willpower soon makes some one you know feel better. Your own life will be bright because you seek the light and face the sunshine.”

April Fool's Day

Among the oldest Christian communities, the lamb was on the pastor's shoulders (not plate), and symbolized compassion and caring for the new life beginning with the new lunar year (ancient lunar calendar) that this forth full moon ('month') (lunar holiday Ostara was celebrated in honor of the Spring Dawn goddess, and as the new year's eve in many cultures) in the Gregorian solar calendar trumpets after the spring equinox. Killing Easter lamb has no basis in the Christian tradition, but rather it's a bloody ritual in strong contradiction with the concept of the Resurrection, which brings renewal of faith and hope. Hoppy Easter! And happy New Year's Day! #April1 #AprilFoolsDay
