Archetypes: The Moon
We continue along the Fool’s Journey. Previously having experienced the calm and inspiring path of the Star, the energy now shifts into the Moon. This next archetype shows us the hidden places of our unconscious, intuition, imagination, dreams and creativity. When we experience circumstances of uncertainty or confusion, the balm is to stop and listen. The Moon helps us traverse the mystery of the unknown and explore our own inner wisdom and soul guidance, to unfold in our own way.
This essence supports us in these times as it brings a sense of clarity and trust in both the unknown, and in our deep inner knowing. It enhances our ability to listen to our instincts and feel into what brings inspiration and soul liberation.
Information about what is inside this essence:
California Lilac, Common Vetch, Herb Robert, Morning Glory, Twinberry and Yuzu are the flowers that fill this essence, with the gemstone assistance of Agate, Amethyst, Quartz and a Selenite heart. Goddess Selene represents the spiritual Moon Goddess energy. Additionally, amplified influence from the Blue and Full Moon in Sagittarius, which illuminates our desire to step out of our comfort zone and experience adventure, freedom and truth. This is helpful as we begin the deep inner work the Moon brings, as learning more about ourselves and what our soul needs may be the ultimate adventure.
The Moon:
Naturally, we can all connect with the Moon. It represents wonder, mystery, transformation, rebirth, and our cyclical nature. it has been part of our universe for at least 4 billion years. Imagine how many of our lives it has witnessed.
The Moon has been strongly connected with deep intuition, watery emotions and Grandmotherly lessons and wisdom. It can present a fog of illusions and unknown territory, forcing us to look to our own guiding light and trust our instincts. After transformation, comes rebirth and the Moon rewards us by illuminating new dreams, paths and realities.
Connecting with the Moon can be enhanced by leaning not only into heightened intuition and other sensory initiations but syncing with her cycles and connected Goddesses. A few examples of the Goddesses associated with the Moon are Selene (Greece), Hina (Polynesia & Pacific Islands), Luna (Rome), Chang’e (China), Diana (Rome) and Hecate (Greece).
Goddess
Selene Specifically, Selene felt significantly tied to this essence. Possessing an ethereal beauty and adorning a silvery crescent moon on the crown of her head, she is considered the Moon incarnate. It is said that she commands a silver chariot across the night sky with her silvery light illuminating the darkness. Her nightly transformation through the lunar cycles ties her to emotional conversion and cyclical renewal.
Flower Essences
California Lilac soothes energetic or emotional imbalances, to allow for authentic communication and expression of our core values with heartfelt action.
Common Vetch helps to clear the fog we may experience in life’s challenges and access a deeper sense of the spiritual purpose behind these lessons. Common Vetch brings a sense of security, liberating us as our experiences unfold.
Herb Robert helps us to anchor into ourselves, soften and show love towards our true self. From this sense of security, we can see things from a different perspective without losing ourselves in another’s energy or life’s whirlwinds swirling around us.
Morning Glory elevates us beyond cyclical thoughts, illusions and erratic rhythms of life, restoring tranquility and clarity to our thoughts. Through this clarity, Morning Glory is very grounding, bringing more balanced behaviors, lifestyle and awareness.
Twinberry is soothing and calming for situations when your body and mind are not in alignment. Sensory overwhelm, various mixed emotional states, hyperactivity and rapid spiritual transformational activities are some examples. Twinberry reduces this agitation by calming several of our energy fields associated with the limbic, neurological and biochemical systems and chakras.
Yuzu brings true sensory nourishment and an awakening of our authentic truth. Feeling a deep nostalgia for what once was, and then remembering our own true voice and dreams, being with Yuzu felt like a realignment for the soul and its desires. A welcome element as we are traversing the wild unknown within ourselves through the Moons intuitive guidance.
Precious Stones:
Agate this particular stone brings a strong sense of security, patience and grounding to this essence.
Amethyst is a protective stone representing purity of spirit. It is thought to be a connection to the divine, serenity, trust and grace. An “all-encompassing stone” it is also thought to relieve stress and anxious thoughts.
Quartz considered a “master healer”, purifies, harmonizes and amplifies energy. It helps to release and regulate energy. A potent stone to aid in meditative practices and connecting with divine guidance.
Selenite a white stone of purity and spirituality, contains high vibration and deep healing energy. It clears the crown chakra, opening the higher mind, promoting peace, mental calm and clarity. It is a purifier, removing negative energy.
A story:
I saw the brilliant, white, almost illuminated, bell shaped flower first thing in the morning. A glory of the morning. She felt divinely feminine, Grandmotherly and significantly powerful. This radiantly blooming flower not only caught my attention but held it. She had a message for me. As I stood there observing her luminous flowery beauty, I felt a sense of calm and clear presence. My previous agenda seemed non-existent.
I noticed that while her flower petals were delicate, her constitution was strong. She grew upright and was supported by a single stalk. The flower appeared larger and more vivid than typical. She was shining brightly for all who would look to see. I sensed a sparkly silver energy around her white petal color. I perceived that she wanted to be made into a flower essence, but the timing did not feel right.
I thought about the Morning Glory several times throughout the day. I connected with and prepared the Yuzu citrus tree essence in the meantime. That opened up something for me to be able to fully see the next steps. Later that afternoon, I checked on the Morning Glory again. It made sense. This time, I saw the vivacious Common Vetch blooming right next to her, which for some reason I was unable to see before. The fog that the Yuzu had lifted allowed me to see. This Morning Glory wanted company.
The Twin Honeysuckle that was nearby popped into my head. It had been perpetually blooming this spring and practically jumped into the water. As I was gathering these flowers, I saw another pink flower in my mind’s eye that wanted to be added. A few minutes later, it caught my eye. The Herb Robert was the one. Pretty soon I had in the bowl what felt like a freely and divinely led magical essence to sit in the sun, surrounded by a peaceful garden, and a plethora of happily chirping birds of all varieties. This essence felt highly tied to the Moon and wanted some time sitting under the Blue full moon’s guiding light as well.
