I'm glad to
announce that I am finally ready to offer a set of Goddess Archetype flower
essences. For three years I have been working on combinations of flower
essences to embody particular Goddess archetypes. These essences are wonderful
for anyone who wishes to support and/or develop certain attributes within
themselves. We pass through many evolutions during our spiral of life and along
the way there is room for different archetypes to be uppermost within us.
Sometimes the shift into another way of being comes naturally and then there
are times when we wish help bringing in or strengthening certain facets of our
being. I was inspired by the work of Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D. whose book
"Goddesses in Everywoman" is subtitled "A New Psychology of Women". I highly
recommend her book for help in understanding one's self even to the point of
what one's relationship patterns are, it is quite uncanny.
Athena is the beautiful, stately warrior Goddess who is
known for her ability to come up with brilliant strategies and logical
solutions. She is the woman who is ruled by her head instead of her heart. She
is pragmatic and realistic in her view of life. Use this essence when you need
to stay centered to assess a situation and make a plan. (Cosmos, Dill, Dogwood,
Female Nettle, Ground Ivy, Rose "Bonica", Rosemary, Shasta Daisy)
Aphrodite is the Goddess of love and embodies the
alchemical power of love. She only loved where the feeling was mutual. She
valued her emotional connections with others. She is the creative energy. Call
upon her energy when you start a new project, have a vision that you wish to
follow. Her energy is focused and yet receptive to input from many sources. Use
this essence to bring a spark of excitement and passionate creativity to a
project. Aphrodite also is about sensuality and sexuality, and the ability to
be both creative and procreative. (Clary Sage, Crested Iris, Evening Primrose,
Lady's Slipper, Queen of the Prairie, Snow Queen Iris)
Artemis is the Goddess of the hunt and moon. She is the
independent female spirit, intact within herself. She personifies
self-confidence, one who seeks her own goals on terrain of her own choice. Use
this essence to support standing tall within your power as you meet your
challenge self-sufficiently. (Blackberry, Black Cohosh, Clary Sage, Mugwort,
Pink Yarrow, Rosemary, Wild Ginger)
Demeter is the Goddess of grain. She is the maternal one,
the one to whom we pray for nourishment and nurturing or for when we wish to
strengthen our ability to be a nurturing, compassionate, unconditionally loving
mother. We invoke her when we seek to move through our day with more grace and
patience. Use this essence for these times and also to call upon Demeter for
fruitfulness in your endeavors. (Catmint, Cerastium, Lady's Mantle, Pear,
Peony-Red and Gold, Trillium, Twelve Roses, Viburnum)
Hestia is the Goddess of the hearth. She has an inner
presence and is not attached to people, outcomes, or power. She lives in a
centered state of grace, having seen much in life she holds a deep wisdom
within. She creates beauty and welcome in her home. Use this when you are
wanting stillness or patience, wanting to live calmly within your truth.
(Angelica, Angel's Trumpet, California Poppy, Echinacea, Golden Rod, Golden
Yarrow, Delphinium)
