Happy April!
Reminder: I do create monthly handbooks for members of our Goddess Magic Mystery School community and April’s handbook is available here.
Dandelion is our herbal ally for April—bright, persistent, resilient.
They offer us this invitation: Keep turning your bright little face and your bright little hopes, to the sun, despite what comes.
Hope is a practice. Persistence is a practice. Faith is a practice.
This month, may we draw courage and inspiration from dandelions, resilient and radiant, even in challenging conditions and rocky, rough terrain
What helps you keep turning toward the light? How are you navigating the rocky landscape of living?
You will also enjoy the free booklet “Recipes and Rituals of The Herb Crafter’s Tarot” by Joanna Powell Colbert and Letisha Guthrie, which inspired some of the dandelion practices mentioned in this video. Joanna’s nourishing Substack may also be found here: Messages from Sea & Cedar with Joanna Powell Colbert.
Remember: You already know the kind of nourishment you need—trust yourself, let your environment nourish you, and seek the wisdom in the weeds and overlooked places of your life as you steep in the Cauldron of Creation.
Questions to consider:
- Where are the “weeds” in your life that might actually be medicine or teachers?
- What overlooked or ordinary thing in your environment might be quietly supporting you?
- What dream seeds have you been holding in the dark that might be ready for light and warmth?
- If you stepped forward like The Fool, what new path or project would you begin—even if you don’t feel ready?
- What old stories or baggage are weighing you down that you’re ready to set aside?
- Where in your life are you willing to be a beginner again?
- What ideas, projects, or desires are currently bubbling and brewing in your inner cauldron?
- What small daily practice helps you realign with the sacred and restore yourself to wholeness?
Affirmations to consider:
- I follow my dream seeds.
- I am audacious in my adventuring.
- I seek the wisdom in weeds.
- I keep my mind open.
- I am willing to experience life as a beginner.
- I give myself time and space to bubble and brew, to let new ideas and possibilities emerge.
- I know the kind of nourishment I need.
- I am a wildly complex human, perfect in my imperfection (from Amanda at The Phoenix Soul, Messy Affirmations)
May you be well nourished this month.
May you trust that you know the kind of nourishment you need.
May you honor your wild complexity
and seek the wisdom in the weeds.
