Using Messages from the Wee Folk by Jennifer A. Murphy & Cecilie Okada
This month brings you greetings from the wet and cold Pacific Northwest. My garden is in and most things have sprouted. I did a really early experiment and planted spinach and kale in early March and now we have already plenty for the picking. The Mason Bees are not quite doing as well as I had hoped, but they do have a couple more weeks, so hopefully they will be nesting a bit more between now and then. Remember, you can ask the Faerie to come in and bless your garden and the pollinators, asking them for a bountiful harvest. Don’t forget to leave them a wild section to do with as they see fit, if you have the space.
Let’s see what the Fae have to say about the month ahead.
In the beginning of the month, it is a time to honor and experience your feelings and emotions. Cry if you need to cry, shout if you need to shout, write it all out and burn it. Get anything that feels negative out of your system. By processing through these emotions you are setting yourself up for a period of growth. Know that you are safe and loved by many.
If you are one who is typically joyful, find a way to use that healing energy and spread it around to others. Share a smile or do something silly to make others laugh. Laughter can be such a therapeutic thing.
The middle of the month is a time to just be you. Don’t spend any time trying to conform to what someone else might think you should be, just be yourself. Realize what a wonderful person you are, inside and out, just the way you are. The Faeries love you for who you really are.
This is also a good time for you to spend with people who support you and what you do. Surround yourself with good people and do great things together.
The end of the month it is good to take some time just for yourself. Nurture yourself and recharge your own batteries. Work on making yourself as energetically self-sufficient as possible (no one wants to be an energy vampire). Develop your own inner strength and feed off of that.
You may benefit from the scent of pine at this time (do not use if you are allergic). Give it a try and see if it works for you. It is supposed to lessen anxiety, give direction, bring joy into your life, and give your body energy.
A nice stone to wear or carry this month is Aquamarie.
The Aquamarine is the stone of courage. It has calming energies that can help reduce stress and quiet the mind. It can be very helpful for those who are sensitive. It can give support to those overwhelmed by responsibility. The Aquamarine can help clarify perception, sharpen the intellect and clear up any confusion. It sharpens the intuition and is excellent for meditation.
Aquamarine can sooth sore throats, swollen glands and thyroid problems. It can help regulate hormones and growth. It can also be helpful for hay fever or allergies.
Please note that stone healing properties are not intended to replace the advice or treatment 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!
