Bite Into The Forbidden Fruit of Self Knowledge

Our Divine Download for November 10, 2024 is Apple/Forbidden Fruit from The Illustrated Herbiary. Apple has had a bum rap since the beginning of time when she learned that feeding people and teaching them to know themselves can be as dangerous thing. Apple is the witch of the wild wood forced to clean up and come in for tea. But a skirt and pumps can't hide her knowledge of the circling stars and cycling seasons, the deep loam of the earth and the warm weep of summer rain. We may think that we've tamed wild apple and brought her to heel, but even quasi-domesticated, she still gifts us with the sweetness of understanding ourselves. Apple asks us to consider "What have your forbidden yourself?" This can be a very potent and extremely powerful question. We try to tame things that scare us. Self-knowledge is no different. We hide our deep wisdom, our intuition, our needs and desires, under a layer of enculturation, refusing to acknowledge what we consider inappropriate or grandiose. These hidden knowings and longings are snakes in our proverbial garden of self, the knowledge trying to wake us up. Do you stifle your body when it wants to move in certain ways? Do you even know when your body wants or needs to move in certain ways? Do you choke back your voice when it wants to chant or sing? Do you eat what you're supposed to instead of what your body craves? Do you listen to the quiet voice of your intuition? Do you ignore it, or do you honor it and follow it? Knowledge is like a knife that cuts both ways. It can be self-conscious and used to beat yourself into submission. Or it can be self-aware, used to rejoice in the incredible creation you are. How can you both know and love yourself?

If you are struggling to know and love yourself, your Angels will help you do both through Spiritual Action Steps offered during a 60 Minute Angel Card Reading. Schedule Your Session TODAY: Book Your Session HERE!
