ORACLE GUIDANCE FOR THE WEEKEND [01.26.24]

24. CURSES AND REMEDIES ~ Healing🩹

"Root to the earth to connect with the ancient plant teachers, who show you how to heal."

I feel like this card is a sign to get back to the earthly ways of medicine and healing as a way of helping us break away from (for example) the big corporations that tear apart and exploit the earth and market it back to us as natural...

I've been noticing the messages of the cards...of my spirit guides, being more and more centered around the earth, healing, and community...and I don't think that's a coincidence. 

I admit, before I was ?worried? that speaking like this would have people rolling their eyes but that's something I need to break away from because the people that care about the world; the people that really understand that we All need to be free, those people understand these messages just like I do.

So I feel like the guidance for this weekend is to use it as a starting point...or a jump off point, in getting back to the real nature of everything. To start detoxing from what consumerism has been pushing down our throats as 'healthy' and to start learning more so that we can really take care of ourselves for the 'fight' we are getting ready for. For the fight of saving ourselves and each other and the earth from the greedy and apathetic.

But let's also see what the card's meaning says...

Card Overview:

"Steeped in mystery and superstition, our healing history is shared among the hedgerows, for we witches are a brave and hardy sort who have survived for centuries as healers and herbalists. Hidden recipes for natural brews and tinctures have all cured and healed, although many of us have been killed for such powerful secrets as these. Healing knowledge and folk medicine are sought-after enigmas that were taken from the old unwritten ways and handed down orally byh witches of old. The witchy healer cures ailments and suffering through herbal teas, tinctures, and potions, all of which are brewed up in a cauldron, of course.

Discovering curative roots, herbs, spices, and plants, combines hearth and home with pure witchy healing magick. As a natural healer yourself, use and trust your inner instincts as you seek and draw from the power of nature to make therapeutic remedies and cures through infusions, poultices, and salves. Choose natural ingredients wisely and learn well from the plant teachers who share with you their restorative wisdom. As you hone your healing gifts, others will be drawn to you for hands-on healing, channeling and energy clearing. However, seeking the path of healer has meant some personal upheaval, emotional pain and loss; it was the only cure.

When you hurt and pain take their toll it's hard to believe you will ever overcome grief, that in time you will heal. Slowly your soul will knit together the fragments that have been scattered and you'll soon feel whole again.

To stand truly in your power as a healer, ancestral lines and past-life trauma need to be addressed; getting to the root of the problem is the only remedy to ensuring healing on the deepest level. 

As sensitivity increases nutritional abuse will affect your metabolism and lower your energetic vibration, and emotions will run deep. Listen to the signals your body is giving you and deflect any ill will. Take comfort in knowing that the peace you crave will soon be restored, for our witchy bedside manner will ensure you are healed in no time.``

>>[[I love how this card stated this, I really feel that what I've been saying lately is reaffirmed through this card]]<<

"Light Side: 

You are a natural healer who would benefit from learning about healing and natural remedies. 

Study as a qualified herbalist, nurse, doctor, or alternative healer and indulge in natural energy practices such as reiki, aromatherapy, acupuncture, and crystal healing."

"Shadow Side: 

Seek a second opinion.

Your body craves detoxification, so take steps to reduce alcohol, caffeine, and fatty or sugary foods for the restoration of your health.

If you are living with chronic pain or fatigue, don't be too proud to seek appropriate help and medication and get plenty of rest."
