Full Moon Ritual One of my most loved full moon rituals is to fill a glass with water and place it outside overnight to absorb the energy of the moon. In the morning - drink it slowly and embody the magical essence ~ satiable and energizing ♥ ♥ HER Harmonious Existence Remembered
Spring Abundance from the Wild Edible Plant Kingdom ~ Wild violets with their heart-shaped leaves are beautiful and have been the inspiration for much folklore, art. and poetry Violets are also a great source of nutrients and remedy? They can be ingested simply in a salad or as a tea, herbal infusion, syrup, jam, or yummy sweet candied flowers. I have included a couple of recipes below.
So the next time you are looking for a purple food for your rainbow try violets.
