Hi, Travelers! I hope you all had a great New Year and a happy holiday season.

✨ Herbal Allies for January & the Deep Winter Season ✨

Winter asks us to slow down, nourish deeply, and tend to the parts of ourselves that feel dry, tired, heavy, or tender. These herbal allies support not just the immune system, but our skin, nervous system, emotional well-being, and inner light during the darker months.

🌿 IMMUNE & RESILIENCE SUPPORT
• Elderberry – Immune-strengthening, antioxidant-rich, supportive during times of stress and seasonal transition
• Echinacea – Immune modulating, lymph-moving, supportive for overall winter resilience
• Astragalus – Builds long-term immune strength and vitality, especially during extended winter months
• Rosehips – Vitamin C-rich, nourishing to tissues, supportive for immunity and skin health

🌿 SKIN, DRYNESS & WINTER RESTORATION
• Calendula – Heals and soothes dry, cracked winter skin; supports lymph and gentle detox
• Rose – Moistening, heart-opening, supportive for both emotional and physical dryness
• Marshmallow Root – Deeply demulcent; hydrates skin from the inside out and soothes irritated tissues
• Plantain – Repairs skin, reduces inflammation, and supports winter-worn hands and faces

🌿 MENTAL HEALTH & NERVOUS SYSTEM SUPPORT
• Lemon Balm – Lifts mood, calms anxious thoughts, and brings gentle lightness during darker days
• Milky Oat Tops – Restorative nervine; nourishes a depleted nervous system and supports emotional steadiness
• Skullcap – Helps quiet racing thoughts and tension held in the body
• Passionflower – Supports sleep, eases nervous tension, and calms an overworked mind

🌿 MOOD, HEART & EMOTIONAL WARMTH
• Hawthorn – Supports the heart physically and emotionally; helps us stay open during times of isolation
• St. John’s Wort – Traditionally used to support mood and light during darker seasons (use with care and guidance)
• Rose – Again, because winter is a season where the heart needs tending too

🌿 DIGESTION, CIRCULATION & INNER WARMTH
• Ginger – Warming, circulatory, supportive for digestion and cold extremities
• Cinnamon – Brings warmth, improves circulation, and supports blood sugar balance
• Cardamom – Eases heaviness, supports digestion, and lifts the spirit

✨ Winter herbalism is not just about “fighting illness.”
It’s about nourishment, protection, warmth, restoration, and emotional care as we move slowly toward the returning light.

🐺The Wolf Moon | January 2026 🌕

This is the Wolf Moon, the first Full Moon of the new year—named for the deep winter nights when wolves were heard howling, calling to their pack, their instincts, and their survival.

✨ Full completion arrives Saturday, January 3
🗓 Today is Thursday, January 1, 2026 — the threshold of the New Year

This moment carries powerful energy. We are standing at the intersection of beginning and completion, intention and illumination. The year opens not with urgency, but with an invitation to pause, reflect, and listen.

🌿 Wolf Medicine & Spiritual Meaning
When wolf energy appears, it brings powerful teachings of intuition, loyalty, boundaries, and sovereignty. Wolves remind us how to walk both independently and in connection with community. They trust their instincts, honor their roles within the pack, and know when to lead—and when to step back.

Wolf medicine asks:
• Are you listening to your inner voice?
• Are your boundaries clear and honored?
• Are you in right relationship with your community—or is something asking to shift?

The wolf’s howl is a sacred call—a reminder to speak your truth, even when your voice shakes. It teaches us that silence and sound are both medicine.

🌕🐺 The Wolf Moon Alignment
Under the Wolf Moon, this medicine is amplified. The Full Moon illuminates what has been hidden, while wolf energy guides us in responding with discernment rather than fear. Together, they offer a powerful alliance for emotional clarity, ancestral remembering, and reclaiming instinctual wisdom.

This moon reminds us that healing and growth happen in cycles and phases, just like the moon—and just like the seasons of the wild.

🌿 Ways to honor this energy at home:
• Sit quietly in moonlight and listen—to your breath, your body, your intuition
• Journal on where you are being called to reclaim your voice or strengthen boundaries
• Cleanse with water or smoke, releasing what no longer aligns
• Charge herbs, stones, or tools under the moon
• Ask yourself: Where do I need to trust myself more deeply?

🐺 When wolves visit us—physically, symbolically, or energetically—it is often a reminder that you are not lost. You are being guided back to your instincts, your inner knowing, and your place within the greater web.

May this Wolf Moon of 2026 guide you gently and fiercely, reminding you that every phase has purpose, and that both solitude and connection are sacred.

✨ New Year’s Eve at Wild Willow Farm ✨

As the year draws to a close, we pause in gratitude for all that has unfolded—the lessons, the growth, the release, and the moments of deep connection. New Year’s Eve is a sacred threshold, a liminal space where we honor what we are leaving behind and gently welcome what is yet to come.

Tonight is an invitation to slow down, light a candle, breathe deeply, and reflect on the intentions you’ve carried through this year. What are you ready to release? What are you calling in for the season ahead? Whether your evening is quiet and introspective or shared in community, know that rest, reflection, and presence are just as powerful as celebration.

From our hearts and land to yours, thank you for being part of the Wild Willow Farm community. Your energy, trust, and connection help this space continue to grow as a place of healing, learning, and rooted magic.

✨ May the new year bring clarity, softness, strength, and alignment.
✨ May you feel supported by the Earth beneath you and guided by your inner knowing.

With gratitude and love,

✨ How do I take elderberry syrup?
• Adults: 1–3 tablespoons daily
• Children: 1–3 teaspoons daily

✨ Is elderberry syrup safe for children?

✨ What are herbal salves used for?
Herbal salves are topical blends designed to support the skin. They are commonly used for dry skin, minor cuts and scrapes, sore muscles, and everyday skin nourishment, depending on the herbs infused. Salves help deliver herbal support directly where it’s needed.

There are several simple ways to prepare loose-leaf tea:

3. Jar or French Press Method – Add herbs and hot water to a mason jar or French press, steep, then strain before drinking.

✨ Can I take these herbs with my pharmaceutical prescriptions?
Always check with your healthcare provider or pharmacist before adding any herbs to your daily medication regimen. As a community herbalist, I am here as a guide and educator for your wellness journey — I am not a prescriber.
