Unlocking the Mysteries of the Alder Moon - Celtic Tree Moon No. 4
Dive into the depths of Celtic wisdom as we explore the Alder Tree, known to the Celts as Fearn, pronounced "Fairu". From April 8th, we're immersed in the energy of the Alder Moon, also fondly referred to in folklore as Owler. This heralds a time of rapid growth and the emergence of your manifestations, signaling the vibrant arrival of spring!
The Bleeding Alder
The Alder holds a mystical allure - when it's cut, its wood transitions from white to a vivid orange hue, akin to the hues of bleeding. This enchanting transformation aligns perfectly with superstition, particularly as these colors symbolize the Goddess and fertility. The Alder's spiral-shaped seeds, resembling small brown cones, serve as a poignant symbol of the cyclical nature of life.
Bridging Heaven and Earth
Thriving along riverbanks, the Alder serves as a bridge between realms, with its roots delving into the water and its branches reaching skyward. It stands as the monarch of the waters, embodying a sacred connection between Heaven and Earth.
The Ostara Tree
The Alder is hailed as the Ostara, or Easter, tree, embodying balance in all its forms - the harmony between the masculine and feminine energies, between intuition and pragmatism, and between night and day, mirroring the equilibrium of the Equinox.
Embrace the Alder's call to confront what you've been avoiding, as it alleviates anxiety and nerves, inviting you to embrace its soothing embrace.
Realigning Energies
In the realm of magic, draw upon the Alder's wisdom to realign any imbalances within yourself. Whether it's focusing on rebalancing your diet or delving into the depths of your inner being, the Alder encourages you to tread the path of equilibrium.
Health and Vitality
Crafted into an oil, the Alder is believed to alleviate stiffness, offering relief to the muscular system and fostering flexibility and comfort as you move forward.
Guardian of the Waters
Renowned for its resilience against water, the Alder was prized by the Celts for crafting charcoal and weaponry, signaling the onset of the hunting season. Its affinity for water only enhances its strength, defying decay and embracing vitality.
Enchanted Whispers
Whistles, pipes, and flutes fashioned from Alder were used to summon the spirits of the Air, while its flowers and twigs were cherished as charms in Faerie Magic.
Celestial Connections
With watery Neptune as its ruling planet and both Earth and Fire as its elements, the Alder embodies a potent fusion of energies. Its regal hue of purple connects it to protective Amethyst and mentally agile Lapis Lazuli, offering a harmonious blend of celestial and earthly influences.
Pioneering Spirit
Those born under the Alder Moon are said to possess an innate ability to discover their life's purpose fearlessly. Their easy charm, confidence, and fidelity inspire others to follow, making them natural entrepreneurs and pioneers of new paths.Journey into Aromatherapy
