Summer season allies
We just celebrated summer solstice when the herbs got their magic on St. John’s midnight. Summer is a time to engage more deeply in our connection to the Earth; and cultivate and strengthen our connection to the divine energies all around. As we observe the blossoming of life all around us, we can receive the energy of vitality and experience awe for the generosity of the Earth, who provides for us everything that we need.
In our quest for self-discovery and personal growth, many of us seek methods to expand our consciousness and deepen our spiritual connection. While there are various paths to higher consciousness, one avenue worth exploring is the realm of herbs. Where is your consciousness now? Is there anything you want to get rid of or gain? We can create magic during this powerful season with rituals and our wishes can come to live. What do you wish for this season? Are you ready for a change?
