Elderberry: Release

MATURITY, RESPECT, FREEDOM OF SPIRIT

Release expectations to free the magic of your wild spirit.

A tree of birth and death, curses and blessings, beginnings and endings, Elderberry also known as Lady Elder, is not to be trifled with. Elderberry appears at a time of great change, bringing with it the energy of late summer. Fledglings fly the nest and flowers die back for the berries to form. With this change comes a wonderful sense of release. You may have noticed yourself making room for the new as you let go of the old. This is important. Take time to clear out feelings and items that no longer serve you.

Cast aside the expectations of society keeping you stagnant and begin to live with your untamed spirit that has been quiet over the winter repass. Make choices out of your passion, rather than the influence and ideals of others. For many, Elderberry represents a second chance to become what you wish. This is your window to reinvent yourself and start over if you need to. The mistress of deep magic has wisdom born of maturity and experience. She trusts in herself and asks you in turn to trust in yourself. As you move through life, you mature and grow and are able to use your experiences to approach each new situation differently.

Have you been seeking the approval of others or feeling bound to a path that is crushing your spirit? Honour yourself by embracing the life stage you are in and release your wonderful inner spirit. Step away, let the wild in and see where this release leads you. Decide to be bold and true today.

This wheel thrown mug is hand decorated with layers of different glazes and liquid gold and takes many weeks to create.   

Found in a place with magic in the air, where misty mornings gather dew on mossy rocks and sunlight forms dappled shadows under the trees. The animals in this wood hear the whispering of the ancients as their lives intertwine through the passing seasons.
