•Bloodroot Flower Essence• Bloodroot is a delightful spring ephemeral flower that grows freely on my land. While she has potent physical medicine, her somewhat rare nature encouraged me to explore her energetically instead. And boy, what an essence it is! She's been in my dreams and in my soul, sharing all kinds of tough love. Bloodroot is a great healer, from our bloody roots to our vibrant crown. She works with our pain, making us uncomfortable to knock us out of complacency, and is especially indicated for emotional blockages that are manifesting in the physical body with a particular affinity for the blood and the lungs. She will create flow and movement where there is only stagnation, but that change comes with some discomfort. Bloodroot reminds us that discomfort creates growth, and change comes with some pain. Bloodroot essence is subtle but not for the faint of heart. 🖤 visit the link in my bio to invite her invigorating shifts into your life 🖤 not sure if Bloodroot is right for you, or looking to dive deeper into energetic remedies? Join me for an Intuitive Counseling session where we can peel back the layers using Tarot and then find some flower friends that want to work with you!

Anais of @mysticalmandrakeroot has her hands deep in a variety of tools from astrology and tarot to past life regression and crystals. These form the umbrella of her practice, which focuses on self-empowerment so that clients can have the knowledge they need to navigate their lives and purpose. We dive into past lives and how they affect Anais today, how learning astrology freed her from limiting beliefs, telling clients that your work is not the right fit for them, and the magic of part-time jobs. And carrier pigeons, just because. ✨If you enjoy this episode, please leave a review on iTunes so others can find the podcast! ✨housekeeping note: the podcast will be published every other week for the foreseeable future. Your girl needs a bit more time in her schedule for clients and naps. Thank you in advance for your patience!

The Empress is such a powerful, delightful energy. Creative, nurturing, sensual, strong as fuck... not too shabby. She's reversed here, which feels about right. She's been reversed in just about every client reading I've done this week, too. This reversal feels like a disconnection from the earth, from our birthright to be strong and powerful and soft and kind all at the same time. The Empress holds the energy of the divine feminine, of Mother Earth, and of all of the bounty that comes with it. There's a touch of the creation/destruction cycle, too, which feels potent today. This reversal begs us to go outside, to feel our feet in the dirt and remember that we are so small yet so held. We are so insignificant and yet so cherished as children of this universe. If you can, let the solstice sun shine upon your bare body, or at least upon a bare cheek (what kind of cheek? Choose your own adventure 😉). Draw upon the powers greater than yourself to fill and sustain you, to help you to get your groove back. It may only take a few minutes with a super sexy flower (can we talk about the WNC lily action at the moment? Swoon.) to get things flowing again. Let the light in. Get dirty. Make something new. Sensuality in small acts can open the door to the Empress, and to feeling connected and whole in your body again.

the sky is on fire // and so is my brain. Everything is slightly blurred through the screen of anxiety and sadness. The past few days have been a deep challenge, a descent into darkness once again. It happens over and over and over. I don't believe it will ever stop, and that's ok. We don't need to be perfect. We don't need to be happy all of the time. We can cry and scream and sleep all day and work all night and forget to do the things that make us happy, healthy, and whole. It's ok. What we can strive for is to make the periods of pain shorter, to get back on track sooner, and to have faith that goodness will flow again. The challenges of the past few months have pushed me deeper than I've been in many years. I've been tested. Many of us have. This has been a painful year filled with uncertainty on both a personal and global scale. Naturally, we react. Naturally, we fall into fear. But every fucking day, every minute, we have the opportunity to come back out. I keep a journal where I track my self care. Nothing sexy or Instagram worthy there. Just the basics. Did I wash my face? Meditate? Walk the dogs? Eat breakfast? Do laundry? When I look back over the past few weeks, much is bare. I've neglected myself and my care, and am thus not surprised to find myself visiting my shadows once again. However, this time, and every time, is a little bit easier. I get a little bit better at asking for help. I am just a smidge nicer to myself. I step more fully into service to hold the pain of others along with my own. I share. Have you asked for help? Have you shared? We need your stories, and we can hold you as you experience them. You are not alone.
