Gorse of Great Hope!

Full moon Gorse Flower essence ~ take heart, there is great hope.

Well, its been an emotional year.
This full moon in cancer is inviting us into rest, release, relief, nurture and comfort.
It's the end of 2020 and a big cycle. January can be sometimes be daunting but Gorse adds a dose of sunshine to any possible hopelessness, and gives you firey courage to embrace your new year.

One of Edward Bach's seven helpers, he would prescribe it for depression, hopelessness in the face of illnesss or persistent suffering situations or long lingering conditions (relevant for the dreaded virus!) "Never let anyone give up hope of getting well". [Bach]

Healing Herbs say: "Gorse is for those who have suffered much and whose courage, as it were, has failed; who have lost the heart to try anymore." (https://www.healingherbs.co.uk/bach-essences/seven-helpers/gorse/)

...so no giving up! I feel its company of heart.
The Gorse has been calling me for a little while, and this morning it sang, so I sang back to it. If you look at the plant it has sword like spikes all over, swords of wisdom and wilfulness and sweet tasting flowers that speak of gold. I imagine taking the essence in honey water. It has sat in the winter sun this morning, next to the river and will soak up tonight's full moonlight. I will make it by the fire tomorrow morning.

If you'd like a full moon Gorse essence, please pay £13 to PayPal artsbotanical@gmail.com and I will post tomorrow so you have for the end of 2020 / start of 2021.
