Mullein was the first
Plant Spirit that appeared to me.
I saw it hovering over my head like an angel.
The Mullein Goddess taught me how to LISTEN better
to the subtle, quiet voice of my divine Self.
To hear her, I have to be really quiet, still, and receptive.
Any little sound, message, synchronicity could be
her!
Because the language of Spirit
is not always heard in words…
If you’d
like to learn from the Mullein Goddess too, I recommend taking her flower
essence 3 times a day for 28 days. You can take six drops directly under your
tongue or simply add six drops to your drinking water. Meditate after you take
her too. The Mullein flower essence I created is made from first year fuzzy
leaves and second year masculine
stalk growth. It’s not just a Goddess flower but a balancer of feminine-masculine
relations. It also assists in working with groups.
A few
moments ago, Marshall gave me a beautiful Medicine Wheel Plant Reference Guide
created by Lynn Schlow. It puts Mullein in the Northwest with Raven
Medicine—magic is afoot!
Mullein spends the first part of it's life in a feminine pose: receptive, quiet, soft to the touch, rooting and growing a thick, furry rosette of leaves. It is taking energy in, storing information, and learning about the world. It is easily overlooked as it hugs the ground.
ReplyDeleteIn the second part of it's life, a flower stalk taller than me emerges. I can't help but to be drawn to it's winking yellow flowers looking me in the eye.
I have been that basal rosette all of my life. Suddenly, I am feeling myself growing taller and taller. I have no choice but to come out of hiding. It is my destiny to flower.
Along with that knowing comes real feelings of self doubt, of vulnerability, of fear of the unknown. Mullein held the door for my gremlins to enter, but stayed close behind. We all sat down together, mullein, my gremlins, and I. The gremlins soon grew impatient and left us to our work. In silence, I gained my wisdom.
Mullein essence helped me to know that these are growing pains and that I am about to flower. I feel supported through the self doubt and trust that this is my path. It's calming presence reminds me to breathe, to sit with the discomfort and listen to what it has to teach me, to be patient because I will flower. I am well on my way.
