THE SPIRIT AS IT WAS GIVEN TO ME

Your pale-yellow clusters emerge from decaying Oak leaves as you line the cycle path through Clowes woods. You cannot be found deep within the woodland, so maybe it is the light from the footpath clearing, that enables you to grow.

I notice that your flower petals are heart-shaped and you reach towards the light – maybe this is a plant that enables us to connect to the lighter side of life engaging with love.

A message came through that you’re nor ‘prim’ as your name may suggest, there is nothing formal or prudish about this plant – you are untamed, absolutely you, with an open outlook on things.

I then envisaged a female fairy-like figure with grey wispy hair and a pale-yellow flowing dress, there was a wildness about this being. It felt as if the primrose does not delineate between itself and the ‘other’ it fully connects the material earthly world with the spiritual, she lives in both worlds being completely herself.

Primrose grows close to the ground, she seems to have strong earthly energy as well as the ethereal.

There was a sense of clearing, freshness, alongside a calming aspect, as if a soft blanket of safety enveloped around my shoulders. I then envisaged a grey capsule around me offering protection. I had been feeling nervous as this was on the edge of a footpath and people were walking and cycling by.

In my mind’s eye I envisaged a pale-yellow circle with four points representing the four directions, North, South, East and West, and the four elements, earth, water, fire and air. This plant connects things, she bonded four things into one, she also brought the spiritual and earthly nature together as a whole experience.
