The darkness is with us this time of year, we need to remind ourselves of the light.
Bonfires, candles, evergreens……..place red candles in the south and northeastern sectors of the home,
evergreens in the east and southeast….
We now are ready to enter the Celtic month of elder. Elder month is the time to examine all the things we may regret, properly view the consequences and heal our chi energies from the hurt. Elder ushers in a new phase of life and reminds us of the need to let go, to say goodbye to, what no longer serves us.
Release past errors, go forward with joy in our hearts, light red candles, surround them with elderberries or elder branches.
Write down things that did not go as planned this year, yellow paper, red ink, then burn them and scatter the ashes in your garden. Let your heart heaL, STOP, then move on.

Elder tree, berries of red
remove all worries from my head
Wiser now I do move on
Banishing regret, sending it to the earth………

all good things
