The wheel turns, and we find ourselves embraced by the energy of the Alder, a tree revered by the Celts as a gateway to the Otherworld and a dwelling place of the Fae. From approximately March 18th to April 14th, we are gifted with the Alder’s wisdom, a time ripe for tending to matters of the spirit, seeking prophecy, and honoring the protective energies of air and water.

The Alder Fey, often described as water spirits deeply connected to their tree, are said to dance beneath its blossoming branches, transforming into ravens as they journey onward. Connect with these energies through meditation or mindful walks in nature, leaving offerings of gratitude for their guardianship. This is a potent time for spiritual decisions and seeking clarity on your path.

As the Alder month progresses, we approach the Full Pink Moon on April 1st, a celestial event amplified by its alignment with Libra. This full moon invites us to seek balance in our relationships and cultivate emotional clarity. It’s a moment to manifest harmony and understanding, allowing the gentle light of Libra to illuminate any shadows within our connections. This year, the Pink Moon coincides with April Fool’s Day, suggesting a touch of cosmic playfulness. Embrace the unexpected and find humor in the journey as the deities work in mysterious and delightful ways.

Take time to release burdens and embrace the joy of living, as reflected in the music of Tito Bambino and Farruko’s “Temporal.” Let the rhythms inspire you to shed the old and welcome the new with open arms.

May your days be filled with the magic of the Alder and the gentle light of the Full Pink Moon.
