Hey loves,
It’s April 1st - Mercury is retrograde, we’re slap bang in the middle of eclipse season + the moon is currently waning in big-daddy energy, earth sign, Capricorn - what are your current feels?
Over in the SHE Power Collective, every Moonday, I share a weekly overview of the cosmic SHE ‘scape + this week? Well, it’s a WILD one.
I’ve also shared THE most apt card pull from the Self Source-ery Oracle to support us in the week ahead + it’s THE most uncomfortable ask of the ENTIRE deck - STAY WITH IT.
I know, right?
NOTE: To find out more, to be in community with like-hearts + to receive weekly riffs, cosmic intel + wisdom, writing prompts + recommendations (I have NO concept of short hand, so if you dig my books, insight + writing style, know that the posts in the SPC are unedited, long-form + from-the-heart + offer a place + space to breathe/ get curious + I often suggest that before you read, you get comfy with a libation of your choice + open your heart nice + wide to receive, k?!) Come join us!
Okay, so firstly, I LOVE that so many of you messaged me about the ‘Who’s the inspir-o?’ post last week - THANK YOU!
Isn’t Zoe awesome?
There’s something REALLY special for me (+ I now know that you’re feeling it too!) about sharing oracles of art that’s infused with the energetics + magic of gorgeous + glorious women - real, imagined + archetypal!
Good news, there’s lots more of those meet + greet posts to come as we get nearer to launch date, which is THIS MONTH, April 23rd! Woohhoo!
There’s STILL time to pre-order + get in on SHE salons, playbooks AND the opportunity to have ME turn YOU into SHE art, click HERE for all the deets, but in the meanwhile, let me answer the most asked question I got last week:
Er…Lisa, what IS viriditas?
To which my first reply is, er…you NEED to read the book, Self Source-ery, because I wax lyrical about Viriditas for entire PAGES.
And… while Zoe most deffo personifies it in the VITAL VIRIDITAS card…my short(-ish) response, is:
Viriditas, meaning ‘greenness,’ is a word that Hildegard von Bingen, my absolute favourite medieval mystic, used to refer to ‘source power’ – the divine energy that runs through all living things; it’s also often called ‘eros’.
Viriditas is a vital, life-giving, creative force which, when awakened within, amplifies your personal DNA, creating more delicious, juicy YOUness.
And if you let it (+ really in these wildest of times what else is there to do EXCEPT bloody let it?) If you tend to and nourish it, and if you allow your body to become the most fecund container for it – it can, and will, inform every expression of your entire life-living experience.
If you HAVE read my book, Self Source-ery - I LOVE YOU FOR THAT! - you’ll KNOW that I LOVE Hildegard Von Bingen, The Notorious HVB, because she was a mother-loving renaissance woman.
Mystic, creatrix, poet, artist, herbalist, playwright, music composer who ALSO received visions + worked intimately with the magic + medicine of plants + the natural world.
She was a FORCE.
She WAS viriditas, in human form.
For me, Viriditas is a is a feeling.
It’s a pulse.
Its radiance.
It’s source power.
Truth telling, juicy, and vital fluid that calls you IN and DOWN.
Into presence (instead of persona) to meet your ever-pulsing connection to Ma, to creative force, to your total aliveness.
HIGH FIVES TO THAT!
The VITAL VIRIDITAS card is from the Self Source-ery Oracle that is available for pre-order NOW (+ if YOU want to be in with the chance of having me turn YOU into SHE art for the next Oracle, pre-order the Oracle + fill in your deets - find out more HERE) + is officially released April 23rd 2024.
