It’s been a heart-filled few days around here. I attended beautiful book launch on Sunday morning at Harmony Nursery/Garden Centre in Lauderdale (even the location had a beautiful name). It was lovely to see family, friends and local community come together for Meg May’s gorgeous book “Word Bone Woman.” Of course I bought a couple of copies to share with the precious people in my life, knowing they will feel held by Meg’s gentle words.
I must have felt inspired because the little Spirit Doll I had been working on before I jetted off to Scotland received a few finishing touches. These Spirit Dolls are all special to me since I have no pre-conceived ideas about how she is going to turn out. She takes form in my hands after meditation and by holding the intent in my mind as I work with the wool. I had intended this doll to be for Toni and felt I was being pulled deep into an ancient Feminine lineage as I worked with her. As her form neared completion, I turned to the Divine Feminine cards and asked for a message to accompany her on her journey. Of all the Divine Feminine cards that could have fallen from the pack I thought White Buffalo Calf Woman – The Prophetess of the Sacred Way was just – well perfect. Our little Spirit Doll was certainly channelling White Buffalo Calf energies long before Iw as aware of what was coming through.
Her message is “My heart is a compass. The path of love is true abundance.” Toni has just returned home after visiting the last couple of days – so it felt truly special to be able to complete her while she was here. White Buffalo Calf Woman is a symbol of hope, reminding us we don’t need to struggle to receive all we hope for. We just need to align our actions with our heart as we walk our spiral pathways.
She is filled with sage, pink rose petals and rose quartz as well as willow and lavender. Willow is the perfect trifecta of love, protection and healing as of course rose petal and rose quartz is all about unconditional love – perfect for the love of a child (no matter how grown up they are) 
She also has turquoise in her third eye – perfect for a mother & daughter’s clear and loving communication. She is adorned with the spirals of time, and she shares messages of the inward and outward spirals we must all walk. The spiral symbolises the non-linear, cyclical journey of birth, re-birth, growth, evolution, and transformation.
As if the message of transformation was not clear enough – Toni spotted the first snake of the season on our property. This one is was looking for water and a bask. Judging by the eyes and lightness of scales this one may be about to shed. For those of you who don’t like snakes, don’t worry, Mr P is now mid plans to move the bathtub slightly further back from the house on the property since it is really just there to provide water for any little creatures that need it.
Toni and I caught up with a couple of beautiful friends we have here – which involved good food and animals – what more could anyone want?
As we drove away from Hobart airport yesterday, my heart was full. My time with Toni is so precious – and I like to think Tasmania wraps its arms around her and gives her a healing and loving hug before she leaves. This time I sent her on her way with a copy of Meg’s book, Word Bone Woman and her own Spirit Doll and I know she will feel the love from both.
Blessed Equinox to all – and I hope wherever you are in the world you feel love and light surround you.
