Using The Heart of Faerie Oracle

By Brian & Wendy Froud

Here we are a heading into February, we are seeing signs that the Fae have been very busy! I took a walk around the yard and noticed the first buds of spring are beginning to show! It is always so exciting to see the nature come out if it's slumber.

Let's take a look and see what the Faerie have to offer us for the month of February…

At the beginning of the month, we find the first of the tricksters in The Heart of Faerie Oracle. Hold on this could be a bumpy ride. You may find yourself practicing a delicate balancing act. You may be trying to do too many things all at the same time. It might be a good time to sit down and really look at all of the things that you are trying to accomplish and decide on the priority of each of those things. This should help you get the most important things completed first. It is also okay to delegate AND/OR ask for help!

During this same time frame – expect the unexpected. Keep your wits. Slow down and watch what is happening around you.

Don't forget to get up and get out of that chair or off the couch and get your body moving!

The middle of the month you might find that you truly can't be all things to all people all of the time. Nor should you! It's time to be your authentic, true self. Do you even know what that is? You may have to take some time to figure out who that genuine self really is. The right people will always love you for who you truly are not some illusion.

For those who garden or have fruit trees – if the snow isn't too deep in your area, this is a good time to prune trees, brambles, and shrubs. Separate strawberries. Start seeds of slow growers such as pansies, onions, leeks and celery – under lights this month. When you see your first crocus you can plant radishes and cold-hardy lettuce, when you see your daffodils, it's time to plant spinach and peas.

The last part of the month is a great time for imaginative and creative thoughts. Write, draw, sketch, color, paint or do whatever it is that you enjoy doing. Let those creative juices flow! This is not necessarily a period for big action or getting things done, but yet it is more of a time to dream. We are not talking about just the dreams while you are sleeping. Imagine what you wish for. What do you want your life to look like next week, next month, next year, or 1o years from now?

Remember though dreaming can create our reality, so be careful what you wish for! ;) ...And always ask for things to come in a “good and gentle way.”

A nice stone to wear or carry this month is the Snowflake Obsidian.

The Snowflake Obsidian can help bring balance during changes as it is a calming and healing stone. It can help balance the body, mind, and spirit. It can be very beneficial to let go of “negative thoughts” and stressful patterns.

Snowflake Obsidian can help with issues with veins, circulation, muscular aches and spasms. It can also help with issues involving the skeletal structure and can be used to allieviate joint pain.

As always, I hope you find that this message from the Fae helps guide you through the ups and downs of this month!! Remember to say a special little thank you to our Fae Friends for the guidance, insight and entertainment!
