January 2024
Welcome January !
Welcome to the Elemental Year of Mineral!
Ohhhh how I LOVE the element of Mineral.
Stones & Bones.
Ancient Memory & Purpose.
Can it get any better? I am passionate about all the elements, but as a Mineral Clan girl, this is my jam.
According to the Dagara Cosmology of West Africa, we are leaving a Nature year (2023) and moving into a Mineral year (2024). Minerals are the stones and bones of our Earth Mother. They are the memory keepers, the holders of broad perspective in the form of mountains, and they ask us to remember the ancient wisdom inherent in our bones.
Each of us is an elemental being and when we align with the part of ourselves that is mineral, then we feel congruent with our life’s path and the purpose it brings us. When we are out of alignment with our mineral nature, we may feel isolated, disorganized, anxious, and confused. Mineral challenges us to remember who we are and to tap into our ancient gifts as ordained by our ancestors.
Wishing you all a graceful transition into 2024 with the hope that mineral blesses your life with its timeless teachings and wisdom.
Until next month, blessings all around!
