ALTAR

The Altar of Balance ~ play with light, dark and everything between to create an altar that reflects your relationship to these seemingly paradoxical forms

ARCHETYPAL

The Lady of Balance calls you to examine where the scales tip in your life and need to be adjusted. Aries asks you to see where you can ignite this change. Aries can connect us back to our own initiation in the world and to our inner child realms. How we were supported in this rite of passage and how our power was tended by those around us has shaped our formative grounding. We can can spend a lot of time tending our inner child and re-mothering or re-fathering ourselves. What is one way that you can connect to the fire power of you inner child and give some support to that part of yourself and the way it wishes or had wished to be expressed? Where did you want to express that something wasnt ok but you were small and seemingly powerless?

GLYPH

Aries

The seedling or the rams horns

Libra

A bridge between balance, a necessary movement between forces - tipping the scales into right relationship. Perhaps it is time that some relationships felt the full force of your fire. Perhaps its time you created a fire boundary

PLANT CONSCIOUSNESS

In their usual way the plants have been very present and had asked me to dig up the roots of the Elecampagne and marshmallow from the apothecary garden. I planted a few of each so I have left some of them to continue through their full cycle. Truth be told both are only in their first year - so it felt to be too soon - that said I was also keen to heed their advice as I know better than to ignore the plant kin when they speak directly and loudly. Within a few days of doing so I had a sudden need for deep lung support and realised what I had being offered. This incredible space between - the relationship between human and plant affording deep healing support.

As ever my healing sessions always involve the plants and so many find their way to those that need them. I had the most beautiful journey with a Mother who had lost her babies in utero where Ladies Mantle quite unexpectedly came through to wrap around her womb and offer healing. When they come energetically and with special instruction it also means that they are looking for the person to work with them physically. Whilst I agree its an unusual way to offer a prescription - it is a way that I have become very accustomed to working with these powerful medicines. Being a conduit for them to channel their healing messages and supportive powers.

ELEMENTAL

Air - Libra Season

Fire - Full Moon

Water - Autumn

Earth - You.

Consider what you will do to ground yourself amongst this sympthony of elemental energy - food, movement, stillness? How will you activate your response-ability?

FIRE JOURNAL

What is my relationship to my power?

INCANTATION

“I allow myself a new way, I create a new story weave”

EMBODIMENT RITUAL

Take some time to lie on the ground. You are the seed. Wait. Feel the spark of ignition come from within yourself - your heart or solar plexus. Dissolve into form and move from this place of fire. Don’t try to make shapes - allow your body to flow in the direction it wants to. Perhaps it feels to be still. Notice your own life force energy and how it wants to express in you. How can you fan the flames of your hearth fire to keep it shining bright through these months. *If you are in the Southern Hemisphere - you are the seed shedding her coat - tenderly invite a sense of coming to life, be gentle with yourself as you emerge.

It is up to you whether you choose to journal your experience, to see if it invokes a powerful remembrance - or if just allow the movement practice to seep into you without needing to document it … to let it flow and go - neither is more right or wrong - listen to what you need

INVOCATION

‘I care take the precious seeds of my dreams in my hearth and trust in their perfect timing to grow roots. I do not force their becoming, merely mother and trust in their journey’
