Spring Equinox Witch

Spring Solstice Witch breathes in the fresh fragrant spring air, a time when the earth blooms in its renewal. She is surrounded by delicate apple blossoms, rabbits, tulips and daffodils as well as delicate lil robin eggs tucked in carefully crafted nests. On the standing stones is a symbol for life emerging from the earth and she has tucked under her hat a red Anemone in honor of Persephone.

Spring herald in my neck of the woods wears a robin's red* breast, the yellows and purples of April's harlequin fool... (violets, crocus and daddofils are the first to leave the gate) and the starry undeniable presence of the Orion over head in the early evening sky. (*this wonderful bird is traditionally a herald of spring, a time of new spurt of growth and new beginnings, and the red coloring of its chest is, of course, connected to the kundalini)

It turns out the Fool is considered to be “spirit in search of experience”. It is considered mystical cleverness without reason, sort of “crazy wisdom”. If you look at the card, it’s obvious that this guy is about to walk off the edge of a cliff without any real concern. In fact, he seems oblivious to his impending plunge into the abyss. No worries there; ultimate trust and unconcern. The sun clearly shines on the Fools back though and that signifies divine nature. That seems to me to speak to real Crown Chakra, the knowing that you’re protected, and “peaceful in the knowing” type attitude. He also has a dog with him that is said to represent animal* desires (*instinctual nature). He’s gently holding a flower which is interpreted as an appreciation of nature. So it seems to me he’s got both a connection to the beyond, at the same time he’s very in tune with earth and nature. A nice balance* (*or chaos in balance, according to the astral meaning of the Libra Full Moon, Sun in Aries, or the Libra/Aries axis/polarity: the main target of those born under this full moon is achieving balance between your inside and outside) there in my opinion. The Fool is also carrying all his possessions with him in that Hobo style stick/backpack. He’s ready for whatever adventure comes up.

In the Victorian language of flowers, the Daffodil speaks to us about forgiveness, trust, honesty and true love. The flower looks like a trumpet to me, and I like to think the energy of the Daffodil announces the arrival of spring. The spiritual symbolism of the Daffodil is clear, bright, and it blasts away all illusion with simple childlike honesty and love. What better time than the oncoming Spring to be reminded of such heartwarming concepts. Use this time of the impending full moon to let go of what no longer serves you, seeking the balance that Libra offers and use the bravery of Mars to be courageous in your forward momentum, shooting forth from the Earth, spreading your joy and love to the universe. If we are to flourish, then we must be courageous in finding our inner wisdom and letting it shine. Happy Spring!

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. ~ Anais Nin

Full Moon in Libra:

Sun in Aries (fire sign)

yellow - daffodils, trumpets announcing Spring

red - robin redbreast, a traditional herald of Spring "the first robin of spring

These two colors mix into the orange reddish coloring of the fox's fur (Celtic animal totem linked to the Alder Full Moon) (Psychopomp or spiritual guide into the Otherworld, like Persephone)

Moon in Libra (air sign)

blue - robin's eggs

pink - first full moon after the vernal equinox is the Pink Moon, Vernal Full Moon, Spring Full Moon, Ostara Full Moon, Aphrodite/Venus/Persephone Full Moon, April Full Moon, Alder Moon, Egg Moon, Seed Moon, Budding Trees Full Moon, Sprouting Grass Full Moon, Full Moon in Libra (Sun in Aries). The Mars Warrior and the Libra Maiden (Persephone and Hades/ Aphrodite and Hephaestus/ Venus (Aphrodite) was married to Vulcan (Hephaestus), the skilled artisan/craftsman).

These two colors mix into purple or violet, a mystical color assisting those who seek the meaning of life and spiritual fulfillment. No doubt it is the Fool's (fool sage, wild wise) color :)

Fox - The Fool Tarot Card

She starts her journey at dawn, fresh and unknowing. There is a risk of falling or being nipped by the fox, but also endless possibility and beauty surrounds her.

THE LAST W!LD WITCH OR SHAMAN

En este bloc quizá despiste que, mezclados con los artículos sobre recetas, nutrición, etc., también los hay de espiritualidad (animales totémicos, senda chamánica...). Es todo inherente e inextricable a mi naturaleza de brujita de cocina. No obstante, el tema de interés número uno será el de nutrición y salud, pero no desde el punto de vista de una cocinera, o dietista o nutricionista etc. sino desde la visión orgánica y espiritual de una brujita de cocina. En la cocina de las brujas se tienen en cuenta muchas otras cosas.. se trabaja de otra manera.. es una alquimia diferente. Es una runa de fuego, agua, aire y tierra donde conectar con las raíces de la Tierra a través de los alimentos que tan generosamente nos legan sus bondades, propiedades y virtudes, haciéndonos así partícipes del Círculo Verde de la Savia Sabia.

excéntrico, ca.

(De ex- y céntrico).

1. adj. De carácter raro, extravagante. U. t. c. s.

2. adj. Geom. Que está fuera del centro, o que tiene un centro diferente.

3. m. Artista de circo que busca efectos cómicos por medio de ejercicios extraños y que, generalmente, toca varios instrumentos musicales.

4. m. Mec. Pieza que gira alrededor de un punto que no es su centro geométrico. Tiene por objeto transformar el movimiento circular continuo en rectilíneo alternativo.

5. f. Mec. excéntrico (‖ pieza que gira alrededor de un punto que no es su centro).

ART JOURNALS & CREATIVE HEALING: Restoring the Spirit through Self-expression

"Tanto los animales como la Mujer Salvaje son especies en peligro de extinción. En el transcurso del tiempo hemos presenciado cómo se ha saqueado, rechazado y reestructurado la naturaleza femenina instintiva. Durante largos períodos, ésta ha sido tan mal administrada como la fauna silvestre y las tierras vírgenes. Durante miles de años, y basta mirar el pasado para darnos cuenta de ello, se ha relegado al territorio más yermo de la psique. A lo largo de la historia, las tierras espirituales de la Mujer Salvaje han sido expoliadas o quemadas, sus guaridas se han arrasado y sus ciclos naturales se han visto obligados a adaptarse a unos ritmos artificiales para complacer a los demás."

"No es ninguna casualidad que la prístina naturaleza virgen de nuestro planeta vaya desapareciendo a medida que se desvanece la comprensión de nuestra íntima naturaleza salvaje. No es difícil comprender por qué razón los viejos bosques y las ancianas se consideran unos recursos de escasa importancia. No es ningún misterio. Tampoco es casual que los lobos y los coyotes, los osos y las mujeres inconformistas tengan una fama parecida. Todos ellos comparten unos arquetipos instintivos semejantes y, como tales, se les considera erróneamente poco gratos, total y congénitamente peligrosos y voraces."

"Mi vida y mi trabajo como psicoanalista junguiana, poeta y cantadora, guardiana de los antiguos relatos, me han enseñado que la maltrecha vitalidad de las mujeres se puede recuperar efectuando amplias excavaciones "psíquico-arqueológicas" en las ruinas del subsuelo femenino. Recurriendo a estos métodos conseguimos recobrar las maneras de las psique instintiva natural y, mediante su personificación en el arquetipo de la Mujer Salvaje, podemos discernir las maneras y los medios de la naturaleza femenina más profunda. La mujer moderna es un borroso torbellino de actividad. Se ve obligada a serlo todo para todos. Ya es hora de que se restablezca la antigua sabiduría."

"El título de este libro, Las mujeres que corren con los lobos: Mitos y relatos del arquetipo de la Mujer Salvaje, procede de mis estudios de biología acerca de la fauna salvaje y de los lobos en particular. Los estudios de los lobos Canis lupus y Canis rufus son como la historia de las mujeres, tanto en lo concerniente a su coraje como a sus fatigas.

Los lobos sanos y las mujeres sanas comparten ciertas características psíquicas, una aguda percepción, un espíritu lúdico y una elevada capacidad de afecto. Los lobos y las mujeres son sociales e inquisitivos por naturaleza y están dotados de una gran fuerza y resistencia. Son también extremadamente intuitivos y se preocupan con fervor por sus vástagos, sus parejas y su manada. Son expertos en el arte de adaptarse a las circunstancias siempre cambiantes y son fieramente leales y valientes.

Y sin embargo, ambos han sido perseguidos, hostigados y falsamente acusados de ser voraces, taimados y demasiado agresivos y de valer menos que sus detractores. Han sido el blanco de aquellos que no sólo quieren limpiar la selva sino también el territorio salvaje de la psique, sofocando lo instintivo hasta el punto de no dejar ni un rastro de él. La depredación que ejercen sobre los lobos y las mujeres aquellos que no los comprenden es sorprendentemente similar."

Introducción: CANTANDO SOBRE LOS HUESOS

COYOTE: ADAPTING WITH HUMOR AND FLEXIBILITY

Coyote is tricky, funny, and adaptable. He offers you his companionship, his celebratory howl, his wit, and teachings of life as they appear without warning. He is the wise and bumbling fool, on a new journey, sometimes learning things the hard way. What makes Coyote such a spectacular companion on what can sometimes feel like a hayride to hell, is his humor. There is magic in his ways, as he gets lost on side roads, scavenges for nourishment wherever he can find it, and amuses himself along the way. Coyotes are very close with their loved ones, snuggling in the den, and cooperatively hunting and parenting. They are nurturing, playful and spirited. Wild, free and never to be extinct, his lesson is one of endurance, longevity and a fulfilled life of meaningful song and dance. Coyote is, in many ways, invincible. Coyote is the trooper, always ready for the journey. Coyote medicine vitality, adaptability and humor during the long process of treatment and healing.

TROOPER

This Coyote Spirit is dedicated to the foot soldier in all of us, whom we hopefully do not have to be at all times, yet need to call upon occasionally. Coyotes are persistent survivors, adapting so easily with their diets and habitats. Coyote travels the rough terrain, establishing territories everywhere. He learns his lessons the hard way, keeping a sense of humor about him as he goes. He turns rigid thinking upside down, preferring to keep it light, while adapting in order to survive. He is a humble teacher, a blissed out fool, an accidental genius. His song carries over mountaintops to find his kind. He is persistent, enduring and prolific. There is nothing he can't do, nowhere he won't go. He is fearless. Coyote outlasts bad weather, yipping contentedly through his long days and many journeys.

SOULFOOTING. LIVELY, FLUFFY, COZY GUIDANCE.

Soulfooting, featuring Fox, is about the intuitive process which leads to one's sacred truth. An opening occurs when paws find the path that has been waiting for them. When the right medicine is discovered, the woodland warrioress can rest trusting the unknown. Feminine Fox shapeshifts, allowing magic and mystery into one's soul experience. Finding Soulfooting refers to unearthing your place of sacred comfort inside of your own fur, asking for what you want, and being especially and boldly specific about it. If you've ever had the pleasure of seeing a Fox or it's tail, you know that it is her shining glory. It is FAT, FLUFFY and by far, one of the most beautiful and cozy tails in the animal kingdom. She uses it to curl up into, and keep warm, to navigate with like a rudder, to strut her stuff. Her tail activates instinct, kundalini, sensuality, self-sanctuary, mystique, camouflage.

CHANGE. FOXY MAMA

I knew last Fall that change was coming. I kept referring to 2011 as Year of the Fox without knowing exactly what that meant, and I still don't...exactly. I sit in the ultimate unknown, wondering what aspects of my life will really shapeshift and turn corners, knowing that Fox's giant fluffy tail will comfort me through the moments as change rolls in and over me. All I can do is take refuge and cozy down in my den with my kits when necessary. In this painting, Fox is graceful change. She begins her process opening up to new patterns she may not have considered before. Fox changes herself to bring about a desired situation, not unlike shapeshifting. She may use camouflage or invisibility to burrow under and blend in if necessary, in order to find out how she fits in. She listens carefully, creates comfort all around her, and tunes into her instincts. Her keen perception serves her well when the time comes to make a decision. Fox cozies up and protects herself before she trots off into her new adventure, expecting the unexpected, and willing to be guided. This little vixen is ready for whatever comes next!

STORYTELLER. PINK FOX

Fox is so prominent for me right now. I feel she represents what is growing in my world, in our world. She brings enchanting stories of possibility with her, of the healing energy that makes giant creative leaps possible. In our tribe, Fox is a symbol of family, and the unity and commitment we share as a group. This little one carries a message of what we can experience when we gather together in sacred trust and kinship. I sense that she is off into the woods to have a secret tryst with her comrades, to share stories and learn about herself and the world by communing with her friends.
