Juniper – Purification
The experience and knowledge that has been gained will provide insight and visions that will guide the individual. This guidance evokes a cloak which banishes and protects from outer forces. Fear of the unknown should not delay the process. The understanding should be that, it is only important in the sense that, what has brought them to this point was a part of the journey to where they are meant to be. If the road is dark the dawn is just over the horizon.
The herbal power of the juniper, its berries and oils is well established for treating many ailments. The berry takes two years to mature so it represents a wisdom that takes longer to acquire.
It is symbolic of a difficult journey or transition. A period where one is lead or guided by inner or higher forces. This is a bridge that must be crossed or a desert that must navigated.
