- 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...
Trust that it’s time to be more of you!!!
Space for your magical self ✨✨✨✨

I can really relate to how you are feeling. I’m just allowing myself to be trapped by the current and all the things that need to be done overwhelm me. It’s refreshing to know I’m not alone and the idea of tackling just one room seems doable . So thank you for your inspiration 🥰 xx
One step at a time and before you know it, you're there!
It helps to know we are not alone.
This exactly how I feel. Round and round, having the same fears and obstacles over and over again. I have someone who is stopping me moving out of this cycle because they have instilled fear into me. I'm in my 60's and feel time is running out. Your video of the branch in the water, really got to me... 💕
There is a beautiful current, just right there, waiting to take us on a new adventure!
I’m almost 60 - same feeling. Sending love. 💗

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.
Looks like we are birds of a feather. Ceremonial magick never dis it foe me either. Magick is all around and in us and I look forward to discovering it together. Merry meet and ....
Love, love, LOVE that you saw the crow and considered that there was a message there. I’m a big fan of augury and the messages that birds can bring us. I really needed to see this video because I’m considering new “sparkly” things for my path. Thank you!!! I love your channel!
I have a real connection to the animal kingdom. Birds are very special to me.
There are so many wonderful and sparkly magics to partake in!
Thanks for being here and for the fellowship!
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!
Yay! I'm so glad you've caught the wave of rising energy. It's been a little later in coming for me this year, but it's finally here and I'm grateful 🙏
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 ❤️
That's how cycles are for me. I often don't SEE them when I'm in them. So glad this was helpful. Be easy on yourself and take it a little at a time. Bright blessings!
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!
This is the time of year for that needed rest. There's a softness right now that invites reflection. Glad you are listening to yourself.

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. 💜💜
Oh wow. I'm sorry to hear that it's so heavy for you right now. I am always reminded that things come to pass, not to stay.
May you find the light within, and may you find a sparkle in life today out of the corner of your eye.💗
Terrific timing. Thank you for this. I find your posts so on target.
BTW I’m an almost 60-year-old expat in the EU. Originally from Washington State. Your channel is like coming home. 💗💗💗
I love western Washington so much. I have thought about moving farther north so many times.
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! ♡
It IS all too easy to try and take over instead of trust. No matter how many times I revisit this lesson, I still fall into small thinking at times.
Going around and around in circles, yes! I’ve been dragged under lately.
I think we discover valuable insights in the dragging under. May those insights help you rise Shauna. 🌒🌚🌘
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...
I see crows and ravens in town, but they are special here. It sounds amazing to be seeing whole murders of crows! I have a plushy toy of a raven in the entry and its name is Memory. 😘
Out here we have lots of blue herons because of the nearness of the river and the woods around.
@@naturalwitchery And Munin means: to remember.🙂
What a wonderful message! Thank you, April for sharing this, you always articulate so clearly what so many may feel in the heart. ❤️ Blessings, my dear .
BB Pamela!
Hi April. Hope you and yours are well🙏💖✨💫
Same to you. Good to see you. Hope you listened while driving 🚗
I'm so happy that I found your channel! Finally.. Someone I resonate with!! I'm looking forward to seeing your future content and catching up on your previous content 💙
Welcome aboard! I am so glad we have a place to gather and talk 💗
Crows symbolize intelligence, among other things.the water, emotions.
💗😊💗
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
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.
For you It's summer! You must be feeling the heat and the effulgence of nature. Hope you are having lots of energy and a good recoup after your vlogmas!
My word of the year is Trust for this exact reason so this resonated deeply. ❤
I love that! What a great word for the year to couple with the Chariot!
@@naturalwitchery hopefully 🤞 💜
Wow your video is so timely. I had this card ‘trust & faith’. Your discussion truly was so beautiful and heart warming.
It's in the air, isn't it? I love shared synchronicity.
I so identify with what you have said here. Good video. Thank you.
You are so welcome. May we see and feel all that we need to.
Hi! I'm new to your channel, and to this path. So much of what you said in this video really resonated with me. Thank you!
So glad! I think we all have been here. I seem to be pulling out of that eddy...✨️
Thank you, I just found your channel. I love this video. Such a different perspective on Imbolc and in my own life.✨
You are so welcome! I love how we can all share our heart's relationship to the lives we live ❤️ It's precious to be individuals
I feel a lot of what you said. Trust was my 2022 word and it played such a huge role with big lessons that the implications from it are still with me into the start of this new year.
A d I'm curious, what's this year's word? What dollowes your year of Trust?
@@naturalwitchery devotion. Who and what am I devoting myself to, my time to, my energy to. Is it serving me in some way. Getting back to where my passions are and devoting time to nurturing me and self care which I rarely do.
@@carriesmysticalmusings how beautiful. What a wonderful progression.
thank you. Your kitty cat is so precious! cheers
Isn't she? She is my constant companion, even in the woods. And she is such a strange little cat... she likes uncooked tofu!
As always April you inspire me. Thank you 💚🤎💛
I'm so glad!
I am in the same space. I'm in the prosess of letting go of those things that no longer serves me. I am holding back and not sure why or what is holding me back. I've spent sometime thinking and journaling. I will also trust that the answer is already inside me.
I think that's a perfect place to start. I love that you turned to journaling. I always surprise myself at what comes up and out when I journal. 🔥
I feel.so out of synch with nature since moving to Florida . I'm originally from new England which not only has such history but distinct changes in nature.
I've been here in FL 10 years now. There is dry season and wet season....nothing to really tune in to.
Profound insights in this video 🌱🤗
Maybe it's time to really look at the personal shifts, create seasonal traditions and mark the seasons in ways that cause you to really draw on that part of you that KNOWS the seasons? Also, allowing them to be/mean something fresh?
@@naturalwitchery i've been experimenting with that - focusing on the feeling of the seasons and doing things like decorating or baking seasonal items. still doesnt feel the same. I'll keep trying :)
Thank you 🙏🏻💖🌈✨x
You’re welcome 😊 I love your picture. Aminita love ❤️
@@naturalwitchery thank you 🙏🏻 it’s a picture of a knitted tea cosy that I made 😁💖✨
❤❤❤
Many blessings on your journey.
