Parting the Mists

Good day! Running a bit behind this morning as our little black kitty, MoJo, hurt his tail and had to be dropped off at the vet. But now that we are here, this is another lovely card from the Alchemy Flower Oracle deck.

This card indicates a return to happiness – but something people need to remember is that our happiness is not a result of others but of us choosing to look at things in a brighter light. There is always good and bad going on – so look for the good (and when the bad simply must be addressed, perhaps use John Lewis’ adage: Get in Good Trouble).

Lily of the Valley – Return to Happiness

The unseen magical work of Spirit is waiting to help you.

Guidance: Plant flowers, plant love, plant ideas, and know that the unseen world of magic and spirit is waiting to aid you.

Channeled Message: Snow on the ground, melting. It’s spring time. I can see, I can hear. Wait, I hear bells, soft tinkling and giggling. There are clusters of Lily of the Valley growing in this forest. They are filled with white light energy. Each patch glows, lighting the forest floor. I hear giggling. A small fairy materializes: her wings are studded with small gems: they look like little ice chips or snowflakes. She was the Lily and somehow turned into a fairy? She smiles shyly and giggles again, “We work with you unseen as we tend our gardens. Your planting and tending gardens bring more magic into the world. We work in harmony with you and all beings. Many of you have forgotten us. We are still here, waiting to work with you to bring healing to the Earth. You have only to begin tending gardens and know that we will be with you. All of the magical world, the unseen world of spirit, is waiting to help. You only have to ask. We can heal together.“

Name Origins and Traditional Meanings: From the Latin world convallis, meaning valley. The genus was formerly placed in the lily family (Liliaceae), hence the common name Lily of the Valley. Tradition meaning is a return to happiness.

Traditional Uses: the flowers of the plan are used to make perfumes. All parts of this plant are poisonous, including the small red berries.
