Wild Poppy

Priestess of the Night, healer of wounded hearts, the Wild Poppy carries a story that thrives and stretches across many ancient cultures. It is one of the most abundant flowers in the world — you cannot miss her.

Comforting and heart-centred, Wild Poppy invites a softening and a release of mind, body, emotions.

Mother Nature wishes, for us her children, that we may find soothing from the deepest pain of the heart — and that we may find sleep, always, whatever the weight of the burden. She offers us Wild Poppy to accompany us in the great sacrifices of love, in the courageous acts of daily life as in the most demanding initiations of Death and Rebirth.

In nature, observe the delicate poppy flower. Like a truly loving heart, she is deeply vulnerable, and yet carried by a mysterious strength that gives her the resilience to keep flowering wherever she pleases.

The Wild Poppy summons the will and courage to keep the heart open and to find a resurrection from the deepest wounds. She helps us to let go, and lets the emotions flow — awakening our capacity to love even in despair, in grief, in sadness.
