Shamelessly shining,

Peacock medicine has its roots in being able to digest what is hard to stomach for others. To digest the undigestible and emerge shimmering—not as performance, but as purpose—is part of the Peacock’s myth.

The Peahen, however—the Peacock’s counterpart—transmutes what is hard to digest (density) into nourishment through patience. She is not here to fan and display; her brown, blue, and gold shimmer is internal. She reminds us of earthing, of feeling for resonance.

Together, they are sacred union—they are the Oneness.

The ancient medicine of Ma holds many frequencies within the One. Peacock and Peahen medicine remind me that without divine union, we will continue to create dis-harmony. As we cycle through this season of death and nourishment, through the composting, we will need those who remember that we cannot extinguish any part from the whole.

Feeling my peacock feather ear artifacts as echos from the field.

This is a season of rest not a season to ramp up.

This is a season of gathering/ harvesting and storing.

The soil calls as we let go.

My offerings this season support rest release and restoration.

To value and surrender to the season of the sunset is necessary to break the spell of Western values for those ready to remember the truth before imperialism.

For those elders who have crossed this threshold hlonipha…

For the baby elders, like myself, I welcome us here.

For those not yet here and can’t fathom maturing beyond certain accomplishments—gather your sacred seeds, plant them and tend to their growth.

You will nourish yourself later in life from their compost.

The winged ones have been talking to me. Gifting me with their feathers of flight.

They have shown up in times of grief, threshold openings, sister connection and sacred ritual

allowing myself to be worked by their medicine is a way my system reweaves and recalibrates.

Sacred hand work provides opportunities for deep bodily listening. When I stay connected to my currents, I am guided by the inner and not hypnotized by the outer.

birds have a particular sight and the type of birds that can fly very high tend to have a view of the entire picture. Before swooping down to strike, it takes in a birds-eye view of the landscape—

now that’s power.

Have you ever observed the way plants grow. I mean really get down low, get your hands on the soil—touch the root system.

I am a believer that what grows under our feet is what we need for maintaining wholeness.

Nature is always communicating with us. If we just tap into the original network of information what we need will be revealed.

Mimosa which normally dies back by now is flourishing. Hmmmmm… she is always speaking to those whose ears are close to the ground.

Mimosa, our ally for overflowing agitation, fiery nerves and swampy emotions. In more colonized terms: depression, anxiety and other nervous system dysfunctions.

Mimosa is a friend and teacher of our inner mycelium network. This ancestor offers coolness and when you observe the roots, they offer aeration without compromising soil integrity.

Mimosa holds it together without becoming a dense medicine—offers softness while still rooting strong.

Sounds like an ally for the times. I understand why this ancestor has not died back yet.

They are needed now more than ever.

Drying the leaves and roots for teas; tincturing leaves, roots, and flowers are my methods for preserving.

When and if medicines become challenging to obtain. Getting to know your neighborhood, green which I’ll probably do you good.

They will be easy to spot, It’s the house with the overgrown lawn and who lets her wildflowers grow uncontrollably. They will also be the ones dancing in the Moonlight.

I don’t know what your thread is that’s not my business

It’s my business to follow mine. To stay heart centered and walk the path my righteous ancestors laid out for me.

This little leaf footed bug showed up in my garden the other day.

Its little body speaks of boundaries and its ability to camouflage itself in plan sight.

It feels like a nod to my next tending session which I’m calling CROSSED.

Setting boundaries does not have to create walls. There are ways to be very clear with our energy and how we spend it.

I don’t have to fear inorder to shield.

In this wisdom circle we will tend to our fields—movement medicine is ancient.

From sweeping, crossing to fortification through incantations, it feels aligned at this time to remind ourselves of our natural protective mechanisms.

Message me if you’d like to attend:

Coming home to me is a practice, it’s a way of living. Noticing when I am not home is very important to me.

Giving myself lots of grace when I realize I have left and instead of yanking myself back, I am learning to meander as to not miss anything.

This time of year invites me even closer to the hearth of me. Harvesting and drying medicine plants, organizing my tinctures and teas and spending more time creating nourishing meals.

It’s a yearly ritual of sacred slowing.

This year feels different. I feel a richness. I feel a deeper appreciation for what is here.

There’s no wanting it to be different, no, I wish this would have grown or there’s not enough of that.

It’s simply being with what is here—my lesson for the year
