ASHES & BLOOD (Patreon)

PRINTS AVAILABLE

-----------------------------

"What cannot be healed

must be burned.

And from the ashes,

Reborn

In the womb of Nature,

Fertilized by Moon's blood."

In this forest located in Brittany, it is said that magical entities belong and indeed the experience we had during this journey was beyond magic.

When I first walked in I felt bliss, I felt amazed and we spent the night sleeping in the car in the parking lot after the first afternoon so we could catch more wonders the next day, but it was also a way for me to feel, encounter and understand the energy of the forest.

While my partner was taking pictures of the nature around, I started to connect with one of the trees which gave me a call for connection and tears started flowing as soon as I touched it.

I felt an unexplained toxic flow that was smothering me coming out of my lungs and thus purifying me of a kind of an emotional baggage.

They say that Brocéliande is the most magical forest in France but when I crossed the village of Callac for the first time by train I felt that the atmosphere had changed heavily and my friend @oeiletoctaves (on Instagram) told me that it was actually where the magic began.

I greatly thank her for inviting me to visit this place and for those interested she provides gong and crystal sound baths in Rennes and she is very talented.

For those who wish to visit this forest, PLEASE leave the places as you found it.

Brocéliande was once a large forest but due to the evolution of human society it was divided and I believe Huelgoat is its heart.

The purpose of this trip was to heal and cleanse ourselves of our “dragged pot-pans” as we say in French, which means emotional baggage.

I sang a prayer while he took a last and for me the most beautiful photograph of the whole set. He told me later on that he would gladly be like the flow of this stream of water.

I believe we monopolize a lot of things we shouldn't, while nothing belongs to us.

It is now the new moon in Sagittarius and what it evokes in me is fire, the desire to move forward, with optimism but also an ease in denying what is bulky to do so.

Happy new cycle beautiful people !

Thank you for your support <3
