Autumn

Trusting Experience

Though it may appear much is falling away,

I’m only releasing what’s not welcome to stay.

Embracing loss, I must dive into this chance,

for no matter what, my life will be enhanced.

The mystical journey is long and true,

I’ll be courageous and wander through.

Wanderer’s Wisdom

As the tree loses its leaves, so we also lost people, relationships, and opportunities. Now is the time to place unconditional trust in the universe, knowing that even though it is a time of great change and loss,  your past has proven that you can and will emerge out of this wiser and better prepared. This is an opportunity to release what no longer serves you and ready your garden for what is yet to come. The wanderer wants to remind you that you need to grieve for whatever you have lost or what has changed, even if it is something insignificant. Grief for the relationship that has moved on, anything that has recently walked out of your life, and you may also grieve for a ‘simple’ item, such as an article of clothing that is now worn out. This is an important practice that is often mixed; you deserve time to process and be upset, but then fall back into faith, trusting what is to come will be for the better.

Take Action

Energetically and physically carve out some time this week to grieve for what you have lost. Don’t be afraid to express your emotions at this time and remember that every lost piece of our life makes way for bigger and better things. Be there for a friend who has experienced emptying and gently remind them of this lesson, so they can also move forward a little wiser.

Autumn Revealed

Reds, oranges, golds, and deeper greens come to the fore reminding you of the beating heart of the Great Mother and the life force within all, both seen and unseen.
