'She will open a portal to the faery realm when you need healing, and will share the wisdom of the medicinal plants, Our greatest teachers!

Dec 4 2025 Begins the energy of the week ahead

 The amplified energy of this supermoon and its rare alignment with the "Seven Sisters" enhances emotional clarity, intuition, and spiritual insight. Observers often view this as a potent time for reflection and new beginnings.  

The final full supermoon of the year  appears in the sky near the Pleiades star cluster, also known as the "Seven Sisters". For some regions, the Moon will pass directly in front of the cluster in a rare event known as a lunar occultation.

The astronomical event is the full moon which is the final and a supermoon of the year, also known as the Cold Moon due to its proximity to the winter solstice. The "Faery Portal" refers to spiritual beliefs,  that associate full moons with mystical portals or times of heightened magic.  

  In this context, the full moon is seen as a time of increased connection to the spiritual or fae realm, a time for intention-setting, and for focusing on powerful magic and manifestation. 

   The Pleiades: This beautiful, young, blue star cluster is located about 444 light-years away. While the name "Seven Sisters" suggests only seven stars, the cluster contains over a thousand stars, with about six or seven typically visible to the unaided eye. Through binoculars, many more stars can be seen, creating a spectacular contrast of the Moon's golden light and the stars' blue glow.

The Pleiades cluster holds significant cultural and mythological importance across the globe.

'Purpose'

Refine your Intentions...

Mystical Texts: The constellation has been seen in various mystical traditions as a focal point for spiritual energy, linking the cosmic levels of the universe to Earth. 

 The Pleiades, or Seven Sisters,  often represents a source of divine energy, ancestral connection, and spiritual guidance. They are frequently seen as a source of feminine energy, wisdom, and healing, symbolizing unity, family, and the power of collective support. In metaphysical traditions, the cluster is linked to spiritual awakening, intuitive guidance, and healing emotional wounds.  

Ancient and Indigenous traditions

Cherokee: The stars are viewed as the home of the ancestors, and their souls are believed to originate from this cluster before returning there after death. 

Maori and Hawaiian: The Pleiades are important in rituals and celebrations, symbolizing community and gratitude.

Inca: The rising of the Pleiades marked planting and harvesting seasons, and the cluster was tied to agricultural and spiritual cycles. 

Metaphysical and modern spiritual meanings

Spiritual Guidance: They are considered a source of high-frequency, divine energy and cosmic guidance that can help individuals reconnect with their spiritual essence. 

Healing and Transformation: Working with the energy of the Pleiades is thought to facilitate deep healing, overcome fears, heal past wounds, and restore balance. 

"This small flower shines with an intense whiteness, displaying a perfect six-fold geometry...one triangle representing the Divine world touching to earth, the other the material world reaching towards Spirit. When they are in perfect relationship, a perfect attunement exists in life..."

Barnard, The Healing Herbs of Edward Bach

'Ancient Medicine'

"Roots, Leaves and Flowers - This gentle healing plant offers comfort and relief from pain and suffering in every expression of itself.

What do you need relief from?"

 Mullein's spiritual properties include protection, courage, healing, and connection to the spirit world. It is historically associated with warding off evil spirits, and in modern spiritual practices, it is used fo smoke cleansing, and dream work. 

I often find myself enchanted by the local plants that grow wild around me here in Southern Vermont. Some people might dismiss these as just weeds, but I like to think of them as nature’s treasures, each with its own gifts and unique energy. 

From the first moment I encountered Mullein's soft, velvety leaves, towering height, and striking yellow flowers, I knew there was something special about it. Over time, Mullein has become more than just a plant to me; it feels like a kindred spirit, a guardian of sorts in yard and in my garden.

 From teas and tinctures to poultices, its leaves, flowers, and roots have been crafted into treatments for everything from common colds to arthritis and headaches. 

'Beginnings'

'A single arcorn can grow into a Might Oak'

This truth of nature's intelligence is pure magic...

 A large oak tree in Vermont can produce up to 10,000 acorns in a "masting" year, which happens every 2-5 years. During other years, a single large oak might produce around 1,600 acorns, but this number can vary depending on the specific tree and conditions. 

Acorns: A Fundamental Food of Our Past and Future

Acorns are one of the most important foods of our past in North America, and they are also one of the most underutilized foods in the present day. 

 Acorns are a complete protein, containing all of the amino acids that our body can’t generate. The presence of these magnificent trees actually determined where cultures of the past would live. Some resources say that as much as 

50% of their diet was acorns.

This abundance of nutrient rich nuts is such a rare gift in the world of foods available, that it is almost incomprehensible that our current culture has so blindly cut down so many to grow wheat or corn. 

As climate change prevails, and growing conventional food crops becomes increasingly challenging, we are going to be hard pressed to recognize the incredible foods that actually grow around us without intensive labour, chemicals and machinery. Oaks don’t need extra irrigation, fertilizer, cultivation, and they house an entire ecosystem in their branches!

 'Letting go/Moving Forward - 

Protection from negative outside influences

  Whenever you’re going through  periods of change, Walnut can help ease the way and provide stability and consistency. Walnut relates specifically to our ability to let go of the past and move forward in new beginnings.   

Dr Bach wrote that Walnut is “the remedy for those who have decided to take a great step forward in life, to break old conventions, to leave old limits and restrictions and start on a new way.” 

If you’re in the negative state of Walnut, you hesitate to move forward into this new beginning and get diverted by outside influences, or you can’t let go of old ways.

Walnut helps empower you to set yourself free from old habits and move forward positively in a new direction. It can help you: 

• Let go of the past and move forward positively. 
• Have stability in times of change, having certainty in your decisions. 
• Take the final step when moving forward in life. 
• Have protection from outside influence. 

  Walnut acts as a link breaker helping us to release the old and decisively embrace the new. 

This might be changes that occur as we move through the various stages of life, or life style changes such as bereavement, divorce, 

new house or job.

It can also provide a cloak of protection for those over sensitive to their environment or to the influence of others.

'Tiny soft seeds disperse on the breath of the wind.

So many possibilities, new beginnings,

which way to go?

Only Spirit and the seed knows!'

"After the completion energy of the Full Moon we can begin to plant new seed of intention" 

Last night's (Nov 5) full moon is called the Beaver Moon and it is also the largest and last Supermoon of 2025, meaning it appears bigger and brighter than a typical full moon.. 

  The spiritual meaning  is centered on preparation, security, and reflection, reflecting the beavers' industrious nature as they prepare for winter. This full moon,  encourages a focus on building stability, nurturing what you have, releasing what is no longer useful, and grounding yourself with your values before the end of the year. It's a time for both practical and spiritual decluttering to prepare for the months ahead.

Break Through

 An oak seedling symbolizes potential, strength, and the start of a spiritual journey, representing the idea that great things can grow from small beginnings.

   In Celtic tradition Oak trees were seen as a doorway to the spirit world, connecting the earthly and divine realms. 

Potential and growth: A seedling embodies the potential for a long, strong life. It is a powerful symbol of the future and the potential for growth, renewal, and transformation.

Strength and resilience: Like the mature oak, the seedling represents strength. Its ability to push through the earth and grow towards the light symbolizes resilience and perseverance in the face of challenges.

New beginnings: It can symbolize a new spiritual journey. The "great oaks from little acorns grow" proverb is often used to parallel spiritual growth, where a person starts as a small creation (like an acorn) and grows into something strong and rooted through their spiritual journey.

Connection to the divine: The oak seedling is rooted in the earth and reaches for the sky,
