Chestnut is strong, straight and true - a resilient master of self, solid standing, protective of his core values. Together they weave prosperity - one that flows from the wisdom of a full heart.

The more I become absorbed in writing this the more species are showing me their protective qualities … Gorse with the power of a coiled snake, Rowan deeply rooted within the feminine power, Hawthorn emboldening the power of the Heart, Nettles restorative warmth, Hollys ability to hold thunder and so many fungi are talking to me about theirs … and I am starting to be initiated into the knowledge of the protective qualities of nurturance that plants and animals carry to care for what is precious.
