I love mythology and folklore, and every year I buy The Almanac by Lia Leendertz. It is such a beautiful book, full of folklore, moon cycles, gardening by the moon, seasonal recipes, and so much more. It helps me live in harmony with the seasons and stay in flow with my body and its needs as they shift and change throughout the year.
This year, in the beautiful folklore section, we travel with the ogham and the trees associated with each new moon. February’s tree (from February 17th) is the beautiful Rowan — a tree of protection, life, and magic.
The Almanac inspired me to shape my soulful, magical offerings around the ogham as much as possible this year, to help both me and you live more in sync with the Earth, our mother. Each journaling class embraces the tree of the month and its lessons and magic, with journaling prompts that align with the tree’s spirit. Likewise, each goddess we explore and connect with in my monthly Goddess Gathering, wherever possible, has a direct link to the tree. Rauni is said to have come to the barren Earth as a Rowan and, with the help of her consort Ukko, created life. She is the mother of all plants, a goddess of protection, and the great healer.
If you would like to sync more deeply with the seasons and the cycles of the year, and if you would like a little more magic in your life, then come along to my journaling and Goddess Gatherings, held once a month at the Silver Web Holistic Centre.
