"To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings."

- Wendell Berry

On this new moon near the winter solstice, we celebrate the dark. We celebrate this time that our friend mugwort (artemisia vulgaris) knows so well. The dreamer and healer with silver green "hands"(leaves) mugwort offers deep moontime medicine. This is a time of renewal, cleansing, and releasing what is no longer needed - just the medicine mugwort offers. They calm our nerves during dark times, help us digest whatever arises, support the release of congestion in our core, and then invite dreams to guide us forward.

Mugwort is one of the plant allies featured in the Moontime Medicine Guide. Order one today to have as a gift during the holiday season and support the - 50% of sales till the near year goes to support this radical grassroots herbal movement.

Hi dear ones,

It's been a bit since I have posted anything and here I am, stopping by to say hi. As the days are getting shorter and so very cold this time invites me to go inward, to reflect, and to connect to my heart. It is a time of giving, a time of loving, and a time of renewal. It warms my heart to have the Moontime Medicine Guide to offer as a gift for you, and I love imagining you giving it and spreading the medicine and beauty of creating connection with our natural cycles, our bodies, and plant medicine.

From now till the New Year I will be gifting 50% of the sales from the Moontime Medicine Guide to one of my favorite local organizations .bus - please check out the amazing work they do in empowering holistic health through bi-lingual community programs.

You can go ahead and order a guide through my linktree - etsy account or website - and you will have an amazing gift for a dear one and have donated to an incredible organization!

With gratitude and love,
Rose

Curl on up, sink on in, let yourself go inward, and listen. As the new moon approaches I feel my body aligned with her energy. Staying home, being alone, and painting is what my being desires.

The energy of menstruation is often related to the new moon energy. It is that dark space of deep knowing, rest, and release.

**If you haven’t met my Moontime Medicine guide I highly recommend it as a resource to learn more about the natural cycles of your body. Link in bio ☝️☝️

May we dance in the currents where energy flows freely. May I dance. May you dance. May energy dance through us.

Turning outward as the sun shines bright, I tune into the energy that is alway here, and I dance. Being in my natural flow is a state of dancing with what is present, slowly allowing, noticing what is already happening. When I open to this space of allowing, I realize I am often already in alignment with the moon, my body, and healing energy. It humbled me each time to feel this deep wisdom so gracefully emerge with no effort.

I want to share with you this prayer of being. This beauty that I was honored to witness. This blessing of water that offers us all life, cleansing, and flow. May your days be filled with pure delight!

This moment was captured by the most amazing photographer, Lexi, who I feel so honored to have the pleasure of playing with recently. Thank you .photo ❤️ 😄

Painting is a merging of my inner landscape and the outer landscape. As we come near this Aquarius new moon I feel myself going inward and wanting to dive into my creative self to explore this inner landscape. By painting the beauty I see around me, I attune to the energy flowing through that which I am painting as well as my own body. Painting is one of my favorite ways to deeply connect with the natural world. How do you connect with the beauty of this world? When do you feel most connected to the natural world?⠀

This beautiful song has been singing to me today and bringing me so much sweetness so I wanted to share a little bit with you -⠀

"Lemme tell ya, honey child.⠀
'Cause this world was made for dreaming⠀
This world was made for you⠀
This world made for believing⠀
In all the things you're gonna do."⠀

The Moontime Medicine Guide is now available at in ! It is such an honor to have the guide hanging in this herbal shop that is full of beautiful art, herbal potions, and all my favorite herbal allies. I don’t think I could be more excited!

Each time a big new step happens with my Moontime Medicine Guide I turn to the night sky and wonder about the power of the moon, the stars and that which is guiding me. And each time I am delighted to feel the support of a powerful full or new moon guiding me without effort. The new moon in virgo just passed as I hung the guide in Rosemary’s Garden and I feel blessed to have felt so deeply and intuitively her power.

I highly recommend you visit the guide at Rosemary’s Garden to see her beauty proudly hanging on those walls. If you have a local shop who you would love to see the Moontime Medicine Guide in please let me know!

In gratitude for the moon,
Rose
