THE WHISPERS OF THE WILDFLOWERS

By Adriane Campbell

As I sit by the window writing, I can see the sun streaming its rays through the glass. The birds are praising the season in song and the leaves are blowing in the breeze. I love the cycles that emerge and spiral through each season. We feel it internally when we choose and we see it too, welcoming the energy and allowing it to flow through our experience. For myself, it currently feels like an enchanted flow of incense smoke, circling throughout my energy field.

There is so much energy happening now, when we drop into it, we can feel its entirety. A lot of us have been in nature more these past few weeks than we have been in some time. It’s such a great tool for dropping inside, grounding, and feeling the trueness of now.

Throughout my recent walks I have been visited by many wildflowers. Their medicine is so magical – it’s free, compassionate, loving, and boundless. It reminds us to be who we are and to sprout into our truth, however and wherever we are.

The days of May bring this medicine to us abun‑ dantly, which allows me to feel alive as a wild one and to sense the energy of the month. Using the Tarot in addition to the wildflower’s essence, we can look closely into this time. Let us go deeper into the month and proceed with a ritual to drop even further into our wild soul, to go to the beginning of our roots where our seed was planted. We have already begun, we are ready.

This time is a search for truth. Many of us have created identities for many reasons. It might be to fit into society, to maintain the conditions that we were raised with, etc. This costume that we have created is not who we truly are. We are being asked to shed the mask and be the person behind it. It is a time where some people may not be what they seem and we must make the choice to drop into the heart, to say farewell to the costume, and be our truth.

With this truth-seeking energy also comes the lesson or experiences. There is something that needs to be understood. Now is a strong time for dream wisdom. Pay attention to the themes that show up for you as they are a sense of direction; inviting you to walk through.

Often we receive dream wisdom when there are so many details that we need to receive. These are deep aspects of ourselves that require insight and keeps bringing us deeper into our roots of truth.

When we allow the space to open, we can step into the unknown, ready for whatever is to come. This has been a challenging time for many, but these experiences also create a lust for life. The wildflower wisdom reminds us not to frolic over the flowers by skipping along the surface but to jump into our field of emotions. Feel not only the joys, and wonders; feel everything! When we do this, we will unlock all layers of ourselves, working through any avoidance, reaching the beauty of our wild self.

Wildflower also shows us to surrender to the flow, allowing the bend to happen as necessary with a solid foundation. As the flowers are grounded by the root into Mother Earth, they still endure tests. The wind spirits may burst and leave the flower without petals or leaves. As the medicine wheel cycles through it are important to remember that all things change. We are always spiraling, though at various speeds. It is necessary to feel all layers: earth, water, fire, wind, branches, and roots. When we do this, we allow ourselves to see past our beginning and into the larger picture for humanity. We can then grow our roots strong and ground them, extend‑ ing them into the core of the earth so that we can remain flexible, allowing ourselves to go with the changes and continue to grow, re-blooming, and expand.

Lastly, the wildflowers of May bring in the message that we have the strength to overcome any obstacles. Can you see the theme within this wisdom?

“WILDFLOWER DREAMS BOTTLE”

You will need:

Wildflowers 

1 small quartz crystal 

1 small container with lid 

1 purple candle 

Dream journal & pen

Begin by going out in nature to forage some wildflowers, bring your container with you. Please remember to always ask for permission before harvesting. Once you have permission from the wildflowers, begin to fill your container, taking only what you need. When you are finished, close your eyes and take a deep breath, express gratitude to the wildflowers, then go inside when you are ready.

Light your candle in your conjuring space and set your intention to your spell bottle. Ask that the bottle unlock your dream state and for you to remember your dreams when you wake. Set this intention as you place the quartz crystal inside of your bottle and place the lid on your container. Carefully drip some candle wax around the lid to seal the magic. You may allow the candle to burn out naturally beside your spell bottle or if you wish to extinguish the flame, thank the fire spirits before doing so, using a candle snuffer if you have one. Thank the energies involved and yourself.

Place the spell bottle, dream journal, and your writing tool by your bed. When you are ready to sleep, ask your spell bottle again to unlock your dream state and to remember your dreams when you wake. Recite the mantra to yourself: “It is safe for me to see”. Allow the magic to unfold, and record your dreams in your journal when you open your eyes.

You can recharge your spell bottle at anytime by lighting a purple candle beside it or placing it under the full moon.

Sometimes it is necessary to take a step back and see the situation from a different perspective to gain clarity and peace of mind. Just as the bird swoops down to dance in the flowers and soar back to the skies, it is important to see and feel in all directions to move freely. Use the perspective and vision of the bird’s eye to gain clarity, con‑ necting from the earth to the stars. Keep looking beyond and fly with the unknown!

How can we use this information in a ritual to assist us with going through the changes and being our truth? In this ritual we are going to work with our dream state to welcome in any details or messages of your layers.

Have a magical experience and enjoy unlocking your inner witch.
