Have you noticed the abundance of acorns this autumn? They are dropping from local trees like shrapnel when I pass underneath. I've been wondering what this might mean, according to folklore and in spiritual terms other than Mother Earth literally firing at me! Acorn symbolism is a sign of prosperity and good luck. Well, we could all do with that, yes please! The sign of oak and acorn is perseverance, which I talked about in my last blog. Oak stands for ancient wisdom, courage, power and survival. Sound familiar? Nature tells us everything we need to know, have I mentioned that before ;) In Celtic acorn means immortality, fertility and life. I personally feel if you managed to get through the first part of this year, the first wave of COVID and months of lockdown and craziness around, then you've already proved your mettle. You are a hardy oak, my friend. You deserve those acorns, even if they are only seeds yet. Wait, it will come eventually. I also talked about leaning into uncertainty – I've certainly had to practice that for myself over the past 12 months. The beauty is, when you become oak you are not only a survivor, you can be there for others which is what nature wants, what this planet needs, more of us to be there and do more for others than focus on ourselves all the time. This magnificent King of the Forest has a canopy that shields and protects other trees and what rests in its branches, a system that symbolises health and morale, comfort and solace. The message is clear: it's tough going but you can do it! Stay strong, hold steady and that good fortune and abundance will come in good time. Here's a small grounding exercise which I've found really does work: HOW TO BE 'MORE TREE' & BECOME A MIGHTY OAK!
