Using the Heart of Faerie Oracle by Brian and Wendy Froud
February brought in a with it a lot of snow for a good percentage of the country. I am seeing loads of pictures of a ridiculous amount of snow around homes of many friends. As a fan of snow, even I think some of you all got WAY TOO MUCH! …however, I would love to get just a little!
February also brought with it the harsh reality of a frustrating Super Bowl loss for my local team, the Seattle Seahawks. Still NFC Champions, is still fantastic! …but that $20 that I had to send to a friend in Massachusetts!!! Well, here is to looking towards the next season.
Let’s see what the Fae have to offer up for the month of February…
As the days grow are growing longer – even though many of you are knee deep or deeper in snow, spring will be upon us before you realize. Start planning now for what you can plant in your garden or planter boxes to help feed yourself and your family this upcoming growing and preserving seasons. Even those who live in town-houses or apartments can research how to grow things in small spaces. The Fae encourage you to consider vertical planting, window boxes, and container gardening.
This can also be a fun time to plan hikes and camping trips for when the weather warms in your area. There are so many great places for you to get out in nature, to take advantage of the Green Man is a reminder to get out there! Find wilderness. Leave natural places nicer than when you arrived. Some say “Pack it in, pack it out.” Others say “Tread lightly.” It doesn’t matter what we humans call it, the Fae simply say “Make it nicer!”
Honor the living Green World around you. Thank the life force that impels it to grow. You can also ask the Green Man to help your use that same energy to re-energize any relationship that you are in during this time.
Mid month, many things are changing, transitioning, coming, and going. Several of your on-going projects are set to come to fruition as well. This is a time of great transition. Allow yourself to move gently. Let things that are no longer working for you flow away peacefully. Release, don’t hold on too tightly. Doing so will only hold you back.
Trust that there is growth in the future. Now is the time to trust. Light always comes after periods of darkness.
The end of the month could easily bring in some out of control, wild energy. Do your best to stay grounded and use this energy for GOOD! It could be very easy to tap in and use this to manipulate others’ or situations and twist things around. …But, is this really in your best interest? Just like the Rule of Three, working with Faerie can be tricky. What we send out can come back to us in a very thorny manner. Be ready to take responsibility for yourself and your actions.
A positive stone to carry this month would be Fluorite.
This is a stone of truth, protection, and makes a beautiful grounding stone. It can cleanse the aura. It can help connect the intuition to the conscious mind. Fluorite can absorb negative energy and stress. It can help with self confidence and decision making.
Fluorite can help the immune system, help strengthen bone and teeth. It can help the immune system, can assist in the healing of the skin, and ease pain associated with Shingles. Fluorite can also be beneficial for those with arthritis.
*Stone healing properties are not intended to replace the advice of your doctor.
As always, I hope you find that this message from the Fae helps guide you through the ups and downs of this month!! Remember to say a special little thank you to our Fae Friends for the guidance, insight and entertainment!
See you again next month and keep the faith!
