Lessons from Elder
Elen of the Ways, wise Lady, Ellan tree, help me sing my soul back home as I travel along ancient holy paths.
Help me to remember those who have taken this well-worn road before me and call on their wisdom when I need to. Who are the shamans and the doulas for this particular rebirth you are going through? Find them and keep them close.
This morning I grabbed my basket and went to gather elderflowers for drying to make tea. This wonderful tree with its flowers and later on berries can be used to encourage purging of infection, through sweating and urination.
The prettiness of the flowers are all spring in her maiden loveliness and yet, the wisdom underneath is the wisdom of the crone in its truthful reality.
Nothing is as it seems in this hall of mirrors that is healing. Underneath the bride in her wedding dress is the years of processing painful trauma. Behind the perfect birth photos is a woman who has let her ego be decimated in the messy inferno of birth.
Elder says to me today: healing is messy, and necessary. You need to let yourself feel the fear, sweat it out, allow yourself to be cleansed. You have everything you need in the wisdom of your body. Trust the process.
