felicia howe

Lunar New Year 2022 moves us into the archetype of the Lovers and the mirror of 6.

Six offers beauty, love, intuition, and the awareness of our hearts. In the Flower Attunement Tarot, The Lovers and Six of Spades offer plant allies to help us find balance in our mind and emotions, Air and Water. The sacred number highlights the mind and body as above, so below, The Lovers relate to Air and The polarity. The Devil represents Earth and our attachments to everything that makes us feel good or bad.

The elements of 6 found in nature, Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, are all interpreted through the archetypes of the universal language of the Tarot and the plant spirits that support each element curated into a flower essence elixir, a divine Love potion No. 6 offering unconditional love and deepening our heart’s true desire the love we seek inside.

It does this through its calming effect on the nervous system, giving us discernment and properly communicating our needs.

There are over forty-five species, with over four hundred and fifty varieties of lavender having many different uses. Lavender is truly abundant and expansive. It is a reminder that love comes in all forms and there is always enough.
