Happy August!
Yarrow and Oats are our herbal allies for August—protective, nourishing, and encouraging.
Welcome to our August and our allies for this month! This month we journey through the heat of summer, centered on the fiery Hawaiian goddess Pele and the turning of the wheel at Lammas / Lughnasadh, the festival of first fruits, with our animal ally the honeybee, our crystal ally turquoise, and our herbal allies oat and yarrow.
Thank you for being here! May Pele’s fire help you release what is complete, welcome what is new, and remember that you can both sink deep roots and spread brave wings—and always find your way home.
Reminder: I do create monthly handbooks for members of our Goddess Magic Mystery School community.
