New Moon in Hazel

From the book The Wisdom of Trees by Jane Gifford: “The ancient Celts regarded the hazel as the Tree of Knowledge. All knowledge and understanding was bound, sweet and concentrated, in the hazelnut’s kernel, so all wisdom was combined, as the saying goes, ‘in a nutshell.’ The hazel is a tree of magic and healing. It is the poet’s tree whose sacred nuts conferred inspiration and immortality and were the food of the gods.”

The hazel encourages us to seek out knowledge and inspiration in all ways and in all things. Meditate on the essence or energy of wisdom and you will gain creative inspiration. Be pliant like the limbs of the hazel tree in your approach to learning. Be open to connect with the Divine Source of all things. Learn, teach, communicate and heal!

Know that you do know!

New Moon in Holly! (Pronounced Hal-lee, like the the holiday tree)

Holly Moon teaches us to be CONFIDENT! She has a powerful radiance that reminds us to put our light into the world. Express yourself, show yourself and don’t hold back. Allow your talents and personality to be seen. When your ego pulls you in or tries to control you to be careful, wait, could be dangerous, ask your Higher Self, “Am I being misrepresented by my ego trying to protect me in a limiting way or is this sound advice?” Ask a few times, yes, talk to yourself! Breathe away the anxiety and remember that you do know a few things and you are ready to be your unique self. We all can’t wait to see.
