  • Thinking about my resistance to change, facing fear, trusting more and Imbolg ahead. So many lessons form the natural world to be heard, when I listen. This little piece of slow living may be evaporating as Imbolc approaches!

    Nature sure has a way of humbling us. Trust has been the theme in my readings for the past month. Trust, surrender to the divine plan, and let go of the past. Sometimes, it's a challenge for us to lean into the flow and just float along. We are so used to steering ourselves and often others that the thought of just throwing our arms out and letting source guide us can be quite uncomfortable. But, when we do allow ourselves to float a bit, we often find that the universe moves in our favor with no resistance. And we feel a connectedness to all. Thank you for this video, April. It is another synchronicity I need to act on and trust. Today, since I have to go where I don't want to be, I will surrender, float along, breathe, and trust. Many blessings to you!

      Sometimes I can't see where the flow is and I struggle against it. That resistance only tires me until I let go and trust. SO, I'm learning to let go more and be present with what is offered. I'm not there yet, but I'm getting there...

    I've just discovered your channel and so... I am trusting the powers that be for guiding me here. I've been dabbling in the craft for nearly 20 years without landing anywhere. I tried ceremonial witchcraft and it didn't fit. I grew up as a Jehovah's witness and that didn't fit. But nature has always been there for me. And it seems you are of the same mind. So let's make magick together. I've subscribed and will enjoy the anticipation of your posts. Also, I live in Northwest Montana on 20 acres, i've been tending a large garden, mostly herbs until recently and I've expanded my vegetable garden.

    Well this was very timely! I am feeling the same - circling and trying not to go under. I know the light is increasing but we had a week without any sunshine and I really felt the heaviness of that energy. The sun returned today! I went for a walk in the sparkling new powdery snow and breathed in the cold, crisp air and felt the warm sun on my face. I felt renewed and ready to do some nesting and garden planning. I am so enjoying both your channels - thanks!

  • @whichcraftnow

    Wow. This was SO needed to see and hear. Everyday feels the same- a giant circle of water and untapped emotions that I could sink and drown in at any given moment. Becoming more organized would definitely be a start to dealing with that overwhelm. It often feels like so much needs to be done that I don't even know where to start...so I just put it off, and put it off until I rush around, trying to do everything imaginable in a single day, 2 if I'm lucky enough to have the energy left over from depleting it the day before, until I'm so emotionally and physically exhausted that I don't do anything for another week or so. By then, the cycle has begun again. This helped me to see that I'm that branch, and if I don't get out of this cycle, I'm going down. Watching this was definitely an eye-opening wakeup call. Thank you SO much for this... it was needed more than you can possibly even begin to imagine.
    Blessings to you and yours ❤️

    I can relate to the rising process for sure. I’ve been energetically hibernating lately, recovering from the holidays and going back to work. I feel unproductive at times but I’m trying to let that be. I know soon I’ll feeling energized and will be glad I took this time to recover, rest and prepare. Getting things ready, and reflecting on cycles/patterns that no longer serve me as you said. Thank you for this reflection and food for thought!

    I don't know if it's the lack of sunlight, bitter cold temperatures that don't seem to be letting up, or the claustrophobic feeling of having snow covering everything so I can't even go for a walk, but I'm struggling right now. So thank you, I really needed to hear that I'm not alone in feeling like I'm drowning, but also that there is a way out. 💜💜

    Always love your videos, April! I, too, pay attention to the omens sent to me and what the personal message is. And it is definitely too easy/natural to try and take over and go where our mind thinks we should instead of trusting in the Divine, despite thinking we do. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! ♡

    Here in the Black Forest/Southern Germany you can see whole swarms of ravens. It is always a magical-mystical experience. The ancient Germanic god Odin had two ravens as companions: Hugin and Munin. They brought him news from this world and the next. - And of course I love the Raven Oracle by MJ Cullinane...

    Trust the divine plan is such a tricky one for me.... because there is the paradox of not knowing if a divine plan exists without me planning anything lol. As an Aries Rising I feel things do not happen unless I make them happen... and this is the tricky part, because if I let "something else" guide me, I might not get what I intended, is this good or bad? who knows.... what I do know, however, is that I can relate with the feeling of sinking.... and making space and cleaning up is the only thing that makes me grounded when this happens - it happens to me during Mercury retrograde all the time! This was a beautiful video, April

    • @naturalwitchery
      @naturalwitchery  Před rokem +1

      This truly is a paradox. As Aries sun it has been a challenge for me to get out of my head, where I want to figure it all out. Letting go of mental machinations and being my divine self is like hitting that outside current.
      You and I are thinkers. It's our power and our Achilles heal, LOL.
