Concluding Chapters, Transitions + Reshaping…

Hey there, beautiful soul. I finally gathered myself to write a little update :) Uncertain of the exact words that will flow through me, but trusting in the wisdom of the heart to lead the way, and that whatever you find here is meant to be shared.

I am currently nested in the sanctuary of my beautiful medicine garden, surrounded by Belladonna, Foxgloves, and Passionflower vines. They are now beginning to unfurl their otherworldly blossoms, gently nudging me to surrender, honour my inner wisdom, and discern the truth from deception. Passionflower also came in the dream few nights ago and I just wanted to briefly share a little story. The following day, as I worked in the medicine garden, tidying and rearranging the beds, I pondered the significance of the dream's messages. I was saying goodbye to the home and medicine garden where I had tended the soil for over five years, transitioning to a new living space in a flat!!! I was overwhelmed with sadness, until I stepped out onto the spacious balcony and witnessed how passionflower weaved herself around the entire area, beautifully climbing and adorning the surroundings. There were pots with Lemon Balm and Betony too. An excitement stirred up within me, accompanied by a feeling of support and an overwhelming calmness. That deep trust and knowing that everything is aligning perfectly and I can now relax and ease into this new chapter of my life.

Passionflower grows abundantly in many parts of the garden, adorning my home, apple tree and the fences. I love how she embraces the entrance, but recently she got very wild and we couldn’t open the door anymore :) I decided to lift her up a bit. She looked so beautiful with many blooms open and so many yet to unfurl. I asked my friend to help me rearrange some heavy wooden beds to create more space. Once we finished we decided to take a little break and sat on the back of the garden with a cup of coffee. I looked at the Passionflower and said ahh, she looks very sad, don’t you think? Her leaves wilted, many flower buds dropped. I went to have a closer look and my heart sank as I discovered a broken stem !!! I was so devastated watching many otherworldly flowers die, and at the same time realising deeper meaning of my dream and everything that has been coming up for me for the past few weeks.

Following my dream, I felt called to concoct myself a medicine with these three beings. I blended Lemon Balm and Wood Betony with the Flower Essence of Passionflower, embarking on an intentional journey with them. I say this often, but words sometimes cannot express this feeling. I am in constant awe of the wisdom and magic of the plants. They love and care for us deeply, always appearing when their medicine is most needed. Throughout different stages of my life, I have had an honour of sitting with these beings, witnessing their own journeys alongside mine. Passionflower was the only plant that lived in very neglected garden when I moved in over five years ago. Betony and Lemon Balm were one of the first friends I started growing, which I adore and have very close relationship with.

Anyways, how are we in June already, friends? And goodness... what a rollercoaster of a year it has been thus far! So many changes, shifts, and readjustments in my world, especially with the Eclipse back in March. I don’t know about you, but for me, a month of May, especially the first two weeks, have been so strange! My life has been filled with intense moments that have left me feeling disoriented and disorganised at times. There were days when all I wanted to do was curl up in a fetal position and give up. Overwhelming grief, sadness and rage swallowing me, and at the same time asking for presence, to keep my heart open and not judge. Things that have been revealed to me that I cannot un-see. Holding space for myself and allowing all that was coming up to surface to move through me, leading to profound realisations, crumbling of old identity, pedestals crushing down, and radical shifts. I sought solace in tending the garden and planting seeds. Morning coffee in the medicine garden became a ritual. The plants have held me so deeply, offering guidance and reflection without any agenda or judgment. Angelica, Hawthorn, and Roses have been a profound and significant presence during these challenging times offering me so much support and reminding me that I am NEVER alone. Very often I was gazing up at the sky, speaking to the stars, asking questions and sharing what was going on for me. As I delved deeper into astrology, exploring all cosmic alignments and my personal transits, things started to make so much sense.

We are in the middle of Gemini season, a beautiful time to deepen our connection and engage with the plants around us. Take a moment to tune in to the ancient songs of creation and the wisdom they have to share. This month is all about communication, curiosity, and connecting deeper with our intuition. June’s energy to me always feels so exciting and activating, with nature so vibrant and very much alive. Bees can be seen actively pollinating the blooming flowers, adding a melody of buzzing sounds to the atmosphere. I love going out in the evening, as the sun sets and the plants curl up to sleep. The scents of Artemisia, Monarda, Jasmine and Roses dancing together with the cool mist and damp earth always make me roll my eyes in pleasure :)

I am also noticing a gentle shift with Jupiter's arrival in Gemini on May 25th, influencing my first house, which is all about the self, identity, physical appearance, and how we present ourselves to the world. This is also where AC, and my moon + Chiron reside. This cosmic convergence stirs excitement within me, and a need for a complete transformation, makeover, like literally changing my whole life lol. It also sheds a light on the importance of visibility, highlighting how I share and interact with my thoughts, ideas, and experiences, as well as how I wish to show up and share my medicine with the world. Taking a break from social media has been refreshing and so very interesting. Checking in where I am with it and still not very sure, to be honest. While these platforms can sometimes feel overwhelming, I appreciate the connections I’ve made with beautiful Humans online, sharing medicine stories, plant photos and gardening tips. Yet, a deep longing stirs within me for genuine in-person connections, the warmth of community gatherings, and soul-nourishing conversations, where kinship flourishes, mutual support is offered, and our collective magick weaved for the better futures of the generations to come.

It has truly been a fascinating couple of months for me, filled with so many teachings and profound realisations that have significantly impacted my journey. I am coming out on the other side full of gratitude, wisdom and adjusting to the new ways of being. I am contemplating the path ahead with Plant Magician offerings, while acknowledging the necessity for change and need for a break. So funny when I decided to take a break, my shop went quiet too. I smile when I think of it and the power of creation we hold within. There are so many new opportunities knocking at my door, each one filled with excitement while also triggering a swirl of nervous energy within me. These opportunities invite me to step up as a teacher, something that I have been avoiding for a very long time…

Thank you so much for being here with me. As I share this journal entry around the New Moon in Gemini, I'm reminded of the importance of trusting that deep inner voice, that consistently guides and shows the way. May we find courage to release whatever does not resonate with our highest purpose and most aligned paths, shedding anything that drains our vitality - be it relationships, responsibilities or commitments that do not reflect our values. May we surround ourselves with people + places that appreciate and honour our authentic self, our gifts, and creative expression.

In reverence, magick + love,

Kas 🧡🌸💫
