Sorry this is late, what with my chickens dying and tech problems this one has been a bit of a challenge!
How to use this Forest Heart Wild Wisdom Gods and Goddesses podcast.
(For my free subscribers this is a peak inside the Forest Heart Wild Wisdom Gods and Goddesses podcast usually reserved for paying subscribers whose subscription funds plant and protect trees, as well as receiving occasional articles and this new podcast.)
You can read the transcript or just listen to the podcast. Also, here is a picture of the god and goddess cards for you to look at and contemplate.
Firstly there is an introduction. The Goddess reading begins at 4.09. The God reading at 8.12. My conclusion and thoughts at 14.40 that includes a quick spur of the moment (UNscripted) blessing.
Here is a link to the first article of the month that this reading is inspired by ‘A Hard Hoar Frost - A Wild Wisdom Tale of Three Ladies and Hen Wife Magic. The white and the red.’
As ever, I encourage you to look more deeply into the stories and cultures of the god and goddess who have appeared. I acknowledge the many peoples and cultures across planet earth and I honour the more-than-human-world. A tithe is given from your paid subscription to plant and protect trees in the Tropics with my volunteer run not for profit Ancient and Sacred Trees (www.ancientandsacredtrees.org). This is my way of paying homage and giving something back to Mother Earth and her communities who gift us life, beauty and so very much more.
Altar or Shrine Layout Suggestion
If you would like to lay out a shrine or altar to honour these two, then gold would be a wonderful backdrop and yellow also. A Star Stone crystal would be lovely to represent the starry sky at this time of year when the nights are so long. Eggs and feathers would be a great way to honour both Eostra and Garuda also. A sprig of from a Tree of the Pine family would also be very fitting since we are celebrating Pine in our modern tree calendar.
Our next reading will be in the New Year.
In the meantime, look out for some little gifts from me to help you rise above the festive frenzy from Christmas day. Something to inspire you as you cross over into the New Year. After then we will be back to our usual schedule.
What are your thoughts about our latest reading? Does it speak to you? What lesson will you take from this?
Blessings of the Solstice to you all,
With Wilding Wishes.
