Spring Equinox Dual Essence-African Daisy & Borage
Last year, I worked with African Daisy, a humble flower that taught me about resilience, joy, and the quiet strength to bloom again after seasons of neglect.
This year, as it self-seeded into the earth and thrived beyond its old pots, I felt called to deepen that relationship.
Doctrine of Signatures for African Daisy:
African Daisy carries the medicine of joy, renewal, and adaptability.
Its radiant sun like blooms open to the sunlight and close at night, reflecting alignment with natural rhythms and openness to life.
The colours of purple, yellow, and white speak of insight, energy, and clarity.
Its ability to self-seed and thrive beyond old containers reflects resilience, the capacity to flourish in unexpected places, and trust in natural cycles.
At the same time, Borage has been for some time. I tended to it, worked with it externally, and listened for its medicine.
As its star shaped blossoms opened leading up to Spring Equinox, I knew it was ready to be honoured and brought into essence form.
Doctrine of Signatures for Borage:
Borage offers courage, heart strength, and encouragement when the path feels uncertain.
Its star shaped blue flowers reflect guidance, hope, and bravery of the heart.
Its generous growth and ability to self-seed speak of abundance, offering support freely and uplifting the spirit when heaviness arises.
Borage aligns us with our inner courage and steadies the heart in times of challenge.
Together, these two flowers create a dual essence for the recent turning of the wheel.
Woven together, they carry the medicine of joyful courage, uplifting the spirit while steadying the heart, guiding us to bloom fully and thrive in our true ground.
Affirmations for this essence:
-I find strength to face life and bloom with resilience.
-I fill my heart with radiant, uplifting light.
-Courage and joy guide me to root deeply and rise.
An honouring of Spring Equinox, and a reminder that when we root deeply, we can bloom again with delight and strength.
