New ideas, breakthroughs and increases in finances are all indicated and you should trust your own judgement. There is a strong chance of triumph over a difficult challenge and the opportunity for sudden growth in what you are currently undertaking. Relationships will be focused on the physical, with lust, sex and passion high on the agenda. Be careful of overthinking, self sabotage and road blocks placed by others.
This vibrant vegetable, growing beneath the soil, teaches us the importance of grounding ourselves and nurturing our inner growth.
**Clarity Spell**
This oil will help clear your mind to get to the truth of matters. It will also open your vision during divination and dream work and when experiencing creative blocks.
Mix together equal amounts of carrot seed oil and full moon water. Place a dab on your third eye before meditating or working on an issue for which you are seeking deeper understanding.
Carrot contains an abundance of prana. The orange prana that carrot contains a lot of vital energy.
Prana is the vital life force within all of us. The orange carrot reminds us to be creative, fun and not be afraid of being different and standing out from the crowd.
The carrot is used to balance the solar plexus chakra. Its high prana and vital energy help get projects into action. It helps us with artists who are struggling with inspiration, carrots unblock creative flow while grounding the artist and allowing them to express themselves more freely. Carrots are a wonderful way to connect you to mother earth as well as a humble feeling.
Carrot has long been used in stews and broths with other roots when a cleansing period is needed for the energetic system.
Carrot teaches us that in order to be fulfilled we may need to do a bit of digging and go back to our roots along our journey. There is colour buried in the darkest of places and life where one may not think to look.
Every month we will explore a new plant deva as divined by Cheralyn Darcy’s Green Witch Oracle Cards.
Use this plant to guide and inspire you this month as you meditate, explore and create your art. Please share anything that you create that is inspired by this month’s plant deva.
