This
Moon period was an intense and profound journey with the Alder Tree, my birth
tree, and the Fox, my Totem Animal. But I am so grateful that I was allowed to
make this journey. It all started with …
Rite of the Womb
It started during the Full Moon on March 2. I received the Rite of the Womb via Ursula Aerts from Definest. After I found this Rite 3 times on my path, I knew I had to do something with it. And wow what an experience! I have been thinking lately about solving karma, but couldn’t figure out how. Sometimes you have unsolved issues from your Women’s line or Father line or past lives or this life that hinders you from moving forward. Or that you can’t be completely yourself. I had that too and the Rite was a very appropriate and recommendable ritual to let go of unresolved issues from my Women’s line and myself. What a beautiful evening with beautiful women. Thanks to sharing we could heal again. And grateful for Ursula and her loving guidance. After this evening I am liberated, free from what stuck to me and what stopped me. So happy!
Are you curious about what a Rite of the Womb is or can mean for you? Then contact me and I will be happy to tell you everything about it.
Spring Forest Qigong Healing
On March 26 Sylvia came to make a Smudge stick in my workshop. Then she treated me to a Qi Gong Healing. I had never experienced anything like this before and I was very curious. I was seated in the middle of my living room, so that Sylvia could walk well around me. With closed eyes I surrendered to the energetic healing of Spring Forest Qigong by Sylvia. And what a powerful form of healing that is! I could feel exactly where what was being done and where blockages were being removed. What a special and beautiful feeling. If you feel energetically blocked and want to get rid of that, I can really recommend this form of healing.
Trance Journey with the Leela Cards
After this my journey continued. The Rite gave me a wonderfully liberated feeling, but I was not there yet. Something else gnawed and deep down I knew what that was. I had to make a choice. The choice to be who I truly am. That caused fear, doubt and not acting. I was so fed up with that, that I went looking for that fear to look it right into the eye. Thanks to the Tarot of Wild Wood and Shadowscapes, the insights and answers were clearly on the table. But, where the source of that fear lied or came from, no idea! During a networking evening, a friend was looking for testers for a certain type of insight cards. I really like to be that and do that, so I said yes to that. No idea what awaited me. I told my friend what I was dealing with and she answered me that the trance journey I would make with the cards might help.
And well, they did! What an intense experience! And Natasia knows how to proceed. She is also a hypnotherapist and asked beforehand if she could continue if she felt it wasn’t going deep enough. And it didn’t go deep enough. The trance journey with the Leela cards turned into a hypnotherapy session and I was thrown back in time. And there I found the source of my fear of being my true self. The rest of the day I was very impressed and happy and grateful that I had found the source and solved it. That same evening I celebrated my birthday with friends and it really felt like the Era of Elke has started, free from ballast and being who I truly am 😀

Day with the new Bards of OBOD on a magical island
On Saturday, April 6, I celebrated my birthday in a very special way, with the new Bards from Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids from the Netherlands. We were invited by 2 Druids and yes, I gladly accepted that. We had such a lovely time and I have enjoyed myself very much. The location was beautiful. An island surrounded by water and trees. we were picked up by a boat and yes, that made the Avalon feeling complete. We got to know each other around the fire and shared our stories with each other. It is so special that all of our stories from childhood to the introduction to the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids were so similar. We enjoyed a magical day full of recognition and delicious food.
Fossil Wood from a magical place
This made me completely silent. I received this beautiful stone from one of the Druids which she brought back from Glastonbury as a gift, because it was my birthday. So beautiful, so symbolic and so suitable for my own journey this month! Fossil wood connects you with your Higher Self and helps you see as you are. It also helps you to connect yourself to past lives, to understand these, to remember the lessons or experiences and to give them a place in this life. This beautiful stone also supports to understand the messages from Nature. All this helps you to heal, to connect with Mother Earth, to restore your self-confidence and to feel energized again. And then this beauty is also in the shape of a heart ♥ A wonderful gift for which I am very grateful.
Aries and Leo give me an empowering and loving push in the right direction
During this day we also drew Tarot Cards. The first card answered the question ‘What do I need now’ and the second card tells how I can take care of it. How nice that I get the card with Start on my birthday including Aries coming jumping out of the card! I want and can take a new step. And the consequences of that new step make it clear to me that I have to leave old beliefs about myself and life behind to move on. How wonderful! That is exactly what I want and what my journey with Alder and Fox is all about.
The second card brings me the message that this new step can be taken when I fully accept myself and live with self-confidence. Controlled and yet fully express everything that is present in me. And in this way keeping the directness of the Magician and the subtlety of the Priestess balanced. Wow! One of my fellow Bards said it very nicely. the Universe carries you and gives you every help. And yes, that’s how it feels ♥
New year, new step
What a wonderful, intense and oh so grateful journey I have been able to make this Moon Period with Alder and Fox. I can recommend it to everyone to connect yourself with the Ogham and the Power Animal of the Moon Period of your birth tree.
Thank you Alder and Fox, thank you dear friends and loved ones that I have been able to make this journey with you♥
With self-confidence and acceptance I have taken my new step. It feels awkward, it feels exciting, but it feels so good!
