Awaiting the big storm, keeping warm inside with icy breezes outside... yesterday was a good day for making cottonwood bud oil from windfalls I’d gathered a few days earlier. The fragrance to me is all about this edge, this turning of the Wheel from the crone of winter to the maiden of spring. Hope, the Star card. The quickening of the year. #cottonwoodoil #cottonwood #herbcrafterstarot #rootedcourse

May you accept the offering of my Sacred Fire. May

May you accept the offering of my Sacred Fire.
May your heart and hands burn with creative passion.
May you give birth to poetry, music, dance, and art.
May your head burn with oracular fire, marking you as seer or bard.
::
May your hands be healing hands, glowing with inner light.
May you allow yourself to be transformed in the flames of my forge.
May you smolder with sacred rage and stand against tyranny.
May you drink a long swallow of clear water from a sacred well.
::
May you notice the unopened bud encased in ice, the purple crocus peeking up through the snow.
May you gaze with gratitude at the sight of swans feasting in late winter fields.
May you tie a prayer cloth to a holy thorn on Bride’s Eve.
May you rejoice in longer days, knowing that the fire of the sun emerges from its winter slumber.
::
I am Brigid, Radiant Flame of Gold, Summoner of Spring.
And I am kindling a flame in your heart.

Friend Witch Hazel greets us here on the border of Winter-Turning-to-Spring. Full Moon coming, followed by the portal of Imbolc / Candlemas / Brigid’s Day. Dancing on the threshold between what was and what can be. #rootedcourse #imbolc #naturejournal #witchhazel #herbcrafterstarot

Repost from @eastonbranam - We have less than 60 days to act in solidarity with the Western Apache tribes fighting to stop this. Please google Apache Stronghold @protectoakflat and Oak Flats. San Carlos Apache tribe member Wendsler Nosie has been leading the resistance and has a list of actions to take on the apachestronghold website. If you don’t have money he asks for you to contribute whatever praying means to you.
