Birch Polypores Essence ~ Walking the Pioneers Path

17 October 2024, Aries Full Moon

While I prepared the essence in the woods I sat down with the Birch tree for quite a while to contemplate and tune into the messages that wanted to come through.

With a Full Moon in the pioneer sign of Aries and the Sun currently moving in the sign of Libra, there's a reminder for me to embody leadership qualities in balance with a healthy connection with others.

Healthy leadership and walking a pioneers path isn't about telling others what to do, like - I know all the things and you will all listen to me - But about leading and inspiring by example and creating a group setting where healthy leadership stimulates other people's qualities and where everyone feels heard and seen.

The Birch fungus or polypores is a mushroom that grows on the Birch tree, obviously. The Birch tree, with his beautiful white, peeling bark is a true purifier, transformer and a pioneer. It has the ability to ignite and spark new fire and beginnings.

Birches are one of the first trees to grow leaves in spring and the silver birch in particular is associated with many spring folklore traditions and stories across Europe. In Celtic mythology, birch symbolises beginnings, renewal and purification

The essence of the Birch mushroom helps you to embrace and embody inner leadership.

It helps you to honor your pioneering qualities and follow your own unique path in balance with your connections, the essence helps you to release your need for approval of certain groups or the societal norm and helps you to let go, so you can fully take your place within 'the whole'. You can take your place within the whole, uniquely as you ARE, while embracing your own unique qualities. It's not about stepping into the right place, but actually it's about finding your place and there is definitely no right or wrong in that.

Co-creating the essence at this time feels so powerful and aligned, truly Divine Timing.

The Birch Polypores Essence encourages you to walk your own path and to let go of the fear of being rejected or deviated from the norm or the group.

The location of the birch and the fungus is situated right in between the heather and the forest. Representing a place not particularly in the world, but finding your own place with an overview. The in-between world or the hedge.

The growth and twists of the fungus that happened after my last visit, also tells me that even though you have a pioneering role in this current circumstances, there's always room for growth and change. And that nothing stays the same forever. It also teaches me something about flexibility.

The workers that were busy around the area in the forest also told me that it is okay to take my place and continue to walk my unique path in the midst of everyday tasks, worries and movements. True to myself and my path.

Any frustrations, fear or worries I have of not being accepted by the norm are being transformed, released and transmuted into respect, love and acceptance of everyone's place in this world. Any feelings of not belonging or not feeling entirely at home within society or the norm are being transformed into (self) love and (self) acceptance. In addition, fully honoring and lovingly accepting myself AND others who do choose to live within those standards.

May the transformations and purifications that this essence initiate, be in love and gentleness and for the highest good of my path. And so it Be.

Supportive Mantra:

I walk and open new pathways for myself and others with love, dignity and grace and I release any burdens that keep me from walking it

15 November 2024, Taurus Full Moon

I collected the tube with purified water and colodial silver at dawn at the grounding Full Beaver Moon in Taurus and preserved that in alcohol = Mother Essence. This essence is diluted into a stock bottle (how they are being sold on the market), which again can be diluted into a dosage bottle for daily use.
