🍁 Merry Mabon! 🍁

below are some messages from gods/goddesses I felt called to share. ❤️🦊 I hope that at any point you find these messages, they are able to help you wherever necessary and give you the strength to be yourself wholly.

Baldur

“To control your emotions does not mean to avoid them we have to seek solace in the hard feelings we face and conquer. ”

foxglove • you may feel as though you do not recognise yourself anymore, or the path you've been taking feels very unfamiliar. Take some time to tether back to your inner self. This season is a moment to reflect on the ways you've changed and grown.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Bragi

“I've sat with my anger long enough to know its the calling of inner grief.”

henbane • it's believed that some used to crown the passed on with chaplets of henbane, helping them to forget their previous lives so they could move forward without regrets. Something is holding you back from moving on — it's time to forgive and move forward to find your freedom.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Eir

“We cannot simply sit and stare at the wounds we carry.”

thistle • known for being spiky and unwelcoming. However, they provide as a valuable component toward birds and pollinators. Thistles represent true fulfilment. You have so much to give, and the world around you is ready to give back. Whoever has entered or been a core part of your life is here to provide and remind you of the goodness within the world. You are not alone.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Ēostre

“Allow yourself to shine without the desire to be seen.”

chickweed • these are known as early-flowering herbs which appear when the rest of the world is still cold and bare. They are full of valuable nutrients and are proof of things returning to life. A series of blessings will make their way to you, they may appear quite modest and miniscule however, they hold much more meaning. You deserve it.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Freyja

“There are poems inside of you that even paper can't handle.”

mandrake • whether they are used in magical or medicinal ways, mandrakes have been valued for thousands of years by those who grow it. However it takes three years to reach its full potency. Do not judge yourself by the speed at which others grow; you need more time to reach your full potential and there is no shame in that.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Freyr

“Be patient when becoming someone you have never been before, it will take time to be comfortable in new shoes.”

crocus • speaking up for yourself may just be one of the hardest things to do, particularly if you've ever felt your opinion is not worth being heard. Being assertive does not mean coming across as aggressive; you're simply letting people know what your needs are. Allow yourself the chance to speak up. Something is weighing on you heavily that needs to be talked about.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Frigg

“Self love is the highest frequency that attracts everything you desire.”

basil • there is growth to be found in helping others achieve the same goal. A leaf of holy basil is placed on the forehead of the deceased to allow them to be seen. By giving your time and energy to others, you will draw the same good energy that you were giving away towards yourself. Remember, what you give is what you will receive.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Hel

“Please let go of the illusion that it could have been any different to how it played out.”

crocus • feelings not heard are feelings that shall linger much longer than necessary at times. Being honest and vocal about how you feel does not mean you are in any way selfish. Allow yourself the chance to speak up, hearts really are something to be cared for, by expressing hurt emotions we are releasing that weight even just a little.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Iðunn

“The truth is these scars are the living proof I was strong enough to make a change.”

the sickle • the sickle is not only a symbol of gathering harvest but also a sign of reaching the aftermath of a long and fruitful year. The challenges that you have faced are nearing their end, its time to reflect back on what has passed, both good and bad. Take those lessons and apply them to any obstacle you should find yourself faced with. This is also a reminder of the seasons being ever changing, a new season awaits.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Jörð

“Just because you are soft does not mean you are not a force. Honey and wildfires are both the colour of gold.”

citrus • common knowledge states citrus fruits are packed full of protective powers. You've been struck with a number of situations that you feel may be out of your control - but through the circumstances that caused them might be, the way you choose to handle them is not. You have the strength to govern how they come to affect you. Some battles can be won and some are best left alone; listen to your intuition, you already know what to do.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Loki

“Understand we cannot save everyone, you can only love them. You cannot transform for them, you can only hold onto and console when they are faced with the unknown parts of themselves.”

birch • the birch tree is beloved by many for its pure but determined energy. It is one of the first trees to grow leaves in the season of spring. Its also the first to grow back in an area which woodland is cleared; this tenacity is a symbol of strength to overcome hardships. They also represent a time of rebirth. This season brings a new chapter after realising and coming to terms with a situation. Don't let past difficulties make you jaded, enter this phase with confidence.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Máni

“Healing also means taking an honest look at the role you play in your own suffering.”

asphodel • in Corsica, where asphodel grows, a person who has been gone from their homeland for a long period of time is said to have 'forgotten the asphodel'. You may be feeling heavy nostalgia toward something that has long come to pass — could be an old friend, a place, or somewhere you found great solace in being. Reaching out to that friend or recreating that time or place is what you need right now, why are you holding back?

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Óðinn

“Allow the road ahead of you to speak louder than the one you're leaving behind.”

apple • everything has an ending. Whether it be today or a hundred years from now, nothing can truly stay as it is, and it's not always a bad thing. We naturally shy away from death or change, but don't forget that it too is in nature's plan. Something in your life needs closure, come to terms with it, embrace it and know that in its ending, something new and beautiful will soon emerge and find its way to you.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Sif

“Being there for others does not mean you get to leave yourself behind.”

aconite • you're facing a difficult or painful decision with no 'right' answer available yet. However in your heart of hearts, you already know what you need to do. Please don't agonise over it much longer than you have to. Named for the hills on which Hercules fought Cerberus, aconite promises there is relief to be had after the brief and challenging fallout of your decision. Know this won't last forever and is momentary.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Sigyn

“To bring in more abundance we sometimes have to pause and take a minute to appreciate the gifts we are already fortunate to have.”

foxglove • you may feel as though you havent had much fortune or good find you lately. It can be harder to appreciate the good when things feel a little stagnant and calm. There is peace in not having chaos. Acknowledge and reflect on the little things that speak louder, such as a warm cup of tea after a long day, an outpour of rain on a random Wednesday.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Sjöfn

“People tend to heal and grow the most when they are loved well.”

moonwart • these ferns have many magical properties ascribed to them, but one of the most prominent is their ability to undo or destroy any lock. Our minds are skilled at hiding away old griefs, unwanted feelings and stressful memories. In the long term these will become dangerous but now is the time to make sense of them. Take the opportunity to unlock those hidden spaces and clear out the cobwebs.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Skaði

“Indulge in the coming of solitude, and find your peace within the season of silence.”

blackthorn • Cailleach is the guardian of an ancient woodlands, she stands in the woods, back bent, raven on her shoulder and holding a staff of blackthorn. People may underestimate you, but you know your true power the lurks within. Don't let other people's opinions take away your confidence in your own magic.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Thor

“This too shall pass, the hard feelings you hold onto, the ones you fear being unearthed. I just need you to trust in me.”

rose • hanging a rose from a ceiling, a tradition which indicates that any conversation which takes place in its presence must be kept in confidence. Its time to finally open up and talk of what's been gnawing at you. Choose your confidant carefully, it may also be something they've been wanting to talk about. Your relationship can only grow stronger through the act of trusting each other.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Týr

“I've learned that in order to receive the good things, you need to believe you are deserving of them.”

tulip • there is a Persian tale which tells of a laborer who fell absolutely in love with a princess. To deter this person from pursuing the princess, the king set an impossible task; but upon seeing the person near to completing it, the king told them the princess had passed on. When he to passed, tulips began to grow from him. The moral being, don't let the lies and deceit of others deter you from achieving what you aim for. Don't be fooled by falsehoods that will keep you from greatness. You deserve good things, you are a good person.
